Macho Wars

The convoy moved slowly through the tunnel at a pressing speed. The soldiers could clearly feel the vibration caused by the shelling. Everyone lowered their helmets to prevent the dust from falling into the eyes.

After driving more than 2,000 meters and detouring a large arc, the commando finally arrived at the exit.Dragon ordered people to go out through the secret door to investigate the situation, and only after learning that there was no enemy near the exit, did the door open.

Using this concealed tunnel, the assault team successfully bypassed the first-line troops of the Principality Army and came behind them.For the convenience of command, Vladimir has moved his headquarters to the airport.

It is worth mentioning that the scouts sent by Dragon were able to spot Vladimir's headquarters mainly because of a dog.

During a night reconnaissance two days ago, one of the two-person team was passing by a camp of the Principality Army and heard several barking dogs by accident.It happened that one of these two scouts came from a family of veterinarians, and had been dealing with various rare dogs since he was a child, so he knew it was a snow hunting dog.

This large hunting dog is favored by the aristocracy because of its sturdy body and white and flawless coat. The average civilian family simply can't raise this kind of meat-eating guy.

Realizing that there might be big people in this seemingly inconspicuous camp, the two scouts immediately transformed into "phantom tanks" and quietly lurked in the bushes less than fifty meters away from the target.It took more than ten hours to squat, and finally in the evening of the next day, I saw Vladimir who came out to breathe, so I determined that this was the command post of the Principality Army.

Dragon was overjoyed when he learned of this, and said that since you delivered it to the door yourself, don't blame Lao Tzu for getting rid of it!

At this time, Vladimir hadn't been able to touch his "weak point" with Dragoon already touching his back.He only knew that his troops had already besieged the imperial army on the island in the last two places, but these two places were extremely difficult bones.

Needless to say, the fortress on the top of the mountain has been hit, and they don't know how many shells have been fired, but it still stands tall, and the hole under the mountain on the opposite side makes them disgusting.

The entrance of the cave didn't look big, but the funnel-shaped terrain was there. The Imperial Army placed six heavy machine guns and two anti-aircraft guns. As soon as they saw someone approaching, they played abruptly, and the infantry could not rush up.

At this point in the battle, both sides can be said to be at the end of the fight. Vladimir judged that the available soldiers under Dragon should not exceed 500 men. He is asking for some sailors from the navy side. Only one thousand and five were reluctantly collected.

Even the high-explosive bombs of the navy's warships have been burnt out, and they were forced to switch to armor-piercing bombs against the ships. Naturally, the ground support effect was not as good as before.

Vladimir believed that he had fought for a lifetime, and he had never flinched when he saw that the enemy was bound to fight. He made a name for himself as the "Tiger of the Far East", but this time he really gave birth to a retreat. , Facing such a little-known role.

He had always felt that the Far East was a barren and bitter land, with poor mountains and rivers, and a small country with few people.

But the severe winter also tempered their physique and will, which is by no means comparable to those of the southerners.When Vladimir studied in the Empire, he had personal experience.

But it was these young empire soldiers who had made them look down on, and they were in a disadvantaged position, and they had been dead on the island for nine days, fighting back and forth.The troop lost more than 70% of the battle and still did not collapse.In light of this, this unit can afford the word "Elite".

"Dragon, Dragon Lee..."

After chanting the name again, Vladimir suddenly shook his head and chuckled. He remembered the reply that made the telegrapher extremely embarrassing.

Seeing those two words, instead of being angry, he smiled very openly.However, contact the Shanghai Navy and the artillery on the road, let them fire another base shell, to show their respect for this brave spirit.

This is a respectable opponent!But because of this, he couldn't give up this battle halfway.

"Selling officer, inform the death squad, attack immediately as soon as the artillery stops, this time with a self-detonated truck!"

"Yes!"

Taking Vladimir's order, the herald hurried away.Due to the limited military expenditure and the inability to produce on its own, the Principality Army will only be equipped with short-range guided missiles at the first level of the regiment. Therefore, in many cases, military orders can only be communicated to the lower levels through the messengers.

In contrast, as the birthplace of the leadership revolution and the pioneer of communication technology, the empire has a fairly well-developed communication network. For the main force at the frontline level, communication equipment is decentralized to the company level.

This allows commanders to better understand the battlefield situation on the ever-changing battlefield, thereby greatly improving the response speed of the troops.

These days, Vladimir has clearly realized the gap between the two sides in this field.

"It seems that when this battle is over, after returning to China, he must persuade the Grand Duke to increase his military spending on communications equipment..."

As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Vladimir suddenly felt the ground vibrate, and it seemed that there was something heavy and he was approaching quickly.

"Oops!"

Bad thoughts flashed from Vladimir's mind instantly. He hurried out of the tent. As soon as he looked up, he saw several Imperial Army tanks on the hillside behind them, and infantrymen followed.

The guards of the headquarters also noticed these enemy troops who did not know where they came from, but they only had one platoon, and they did not have heavy weapons that could effectively deal with armored targets. The soldiers could only use their own hands in vain. The rifle fired at the tank.

At this time, the captain of the guard company ran over and saw the commander standing in the clearing. He rushed over, trying to drag him to run.But it's a pity that his two legs couldn't get past the shells after all.

Six tanks fired at the camp with high-explosive shells, one of which hit Vladimir's feet, and the old general fell into a pool of blood on the spot.

Chapter 207

Vladimir died. He died of the weapon that made him famous in the country and used it for most of his life.

Dragon actually didn't see him. At that time, the black lights were blinding. He could see some very vague figures through the captain's periscope. Unexpectedly, the first round of the volley took away the largest fish pond!

Since the Principality Army did not expect that the defenders on the island would have large undercover tunnels that would allow heavy weapons such as tanks to go around them, the headquarters that was raided was completely wiped out in just ten minutes. .

Dragoon took them away in a neat wave at the cost of six killed.

The entire raid was extremely smooth. Dragon finished the work and immediately retreated to the secret tunnel, and then let the people blow up the entire entrance with explosives, so as to prevent the Principality army from trying to attack the cave from here.

After everyone successfully returned to their hometown, Dragun stood on the tank and announced the good news to everyone present. He was promoted an hour and a half ago and became a father with a daughter.

After listening to everyone, they were taken aback for a while, confirming that Dragoon was indeed not joking, and instantly boiled.Some people came to congratulate, some made a lot of noise, and some came to recognize their father-in-law during the chaos, and the cave was lively like a holiday.

Due to the rush when retreating, the commando did not have time to clean the battlefield, so Dragon had no idea whether Vladimir was alive or dead, or whether there were any senior enemy officers missing the net.

But early the next morning, he discovered that the enemy's situation was a bit wrong.Although the troops besieging them have not retreated, the offensive has stopped completely, and the remaining soldiers of the Principality seem to be at a loss.

However, the good news is not limited to this one. Just a few hours after the enemy stopped the offensive, the fortress on the top of the mountain sent a communication saying that they had seen a large number of ships appearing on the southern ocean.

At first they were very nervous, because according to their previous estimates, it was impossible for the friendly forces to come so quickly, so they were worried that the enemy would be reinforcements.

But as these ships approached, the mist on the sea gradually dispersed. Observers were surprised to find that these ships were large battleships, and the naval flag of the Imperial Army was hung high on the masts.

Four large battleships, seven heavy cruisers, plus some escorts.This huge fleet not only surpassed the Duchy's fleet in terms of quantity, but also had an absolute crush in quality.

The other party soon started talking on the public channel. They were the First Squadron of the Sidney Empire and the Royal Navy's Ocean Fleet, and they were ordered to come and annihilate the invaders.

Their arrival, just a bright picture, scared the courage of the Principality Navy.

Regardless of the army that was still on the shore, the Principality Navy turned around and ran away, not daring to even think of fighting.

Not to mention that their artillery shells were almost exhausted, and even the sailors were taken away to fight on the ground. Even during the period of victory when the entire crew was fully staffed, their small boats did not dare to challenge the powerful Imperial Navy.

The power gap between the two sides is not even in the same dimension!

On the side of the Imperial Army, after learning that the Principality Fleet had begun to run, Dragon couldn't help but wonder how his own navy did it.

A full week earlier than expected, has the Imperial Navy developed a high-speed battleship of 30 knots?

With this doubt, Dragon used the internal channel of the Imperial Army to get in touch with the approaching fleet, and the two sides confirmed each other's identities.

And Dragon didn't know until later that there was a reason why this fleet came so quickly.

Eleven days ago, the First Squadron of the Imperial Navy had just finished its open sea training and was preparing to go to the colony’s Port Pandora to avoid a typhoon. As a result, it was notified halfway that the Empire had been invaded in an enclave in the Northern Ocean. The princess Alicia and the exiles from Tarrance, a small country in the Far East, are there and the situation is very dangerous.

Lieutenant General Harlan Crusoe, the commander of the Navy's First Squadron, was not only a duke, but also married the third princess of the empire, who was regarded as Alicia's brother-in-law.

When he married the third princess, Alicia was a bridesmaid for them when he was only seven years old.
