Macho Wars

All the generals who had been to the frontline inspections did not look very good when they came back.

"We let the whole world see the power and stupidity of the empire."

This civil war has consumed too much manpower and material resources of the empire, and those foreign forces that have always had bad intentions have also observed secretly from the beginning to fish in troubled waters. No matter what methods these people use, their fundamental purpose is Hope to see a weak and even divided empire.

Everyone knows the truth, but few can make wise choices.

The biggest problem of the First Army Group is the floating of the military spirit. After Howard was rushed to the rear, without this great god, the grassroots officers and soldiers began to feel uneasy, and the middle and high-level officers couldn't help but began to play their own careful thoughts. .

The army is a place full of factions. Not everyone is like Howard's courtiers, and there is almost absolute trust of the first emperor, which makes the position so detached.Now that Howard has left the front line, Kane Mountbatten has taken over the command of the Legion, and those who dissatisfied immediately all appeared.

We must know that this is the critical period of the war, and the full-scale counter-offensive of the Eastern Empire is huge and progressing very smoothly. It seems that victory is near.Once Felavi’s forces were defeated, the young emperor was able to return to the imperial capital. When the time comes, the top military leaders must reshuffle the cards.

The first effort must go to Dragon without a doubt. The entire battle plan was planned by him and Howard together. The second army group he led was in the main offensive position, all the way to the imperial capital.Coupled with the fact that he is the brother-in-law of the young emperor and the successor appointed by Howard, no one can shake his future status.

But the problem now is that Kane Mountbatten, who belongs to the same faction as Dragon, has taken over the command of the First Army Group, which makes them feel a little unacceptable, and worry that Kane will take the opportunity to "kill someone".

In the final analysis, the First Army Group is not like the Second Army Group led by Dragon. The main force is the loyal and reliable Marine Corps. The rest of the troops are also elites from the original colonial military area. Everyone has fought side by side from the New World to the Far East.From the top to the bottom, the entire legion trusted Dragon very much, and he commanded naturally like an arm.

The First Army Group is an old-style army rebuilt from the main force of the original Central Military Region as the backbone. Although the number is large and the equipment is not bad, the middle and high-level officers are mostly old people who have been retained. These noble generals are indeed experienced. , But there are a lot of thoughts, and each one has his own little abacus.

The imperial power of the Eastern Empire is now declining, and the young emperor can't hold down the all kinds of bigwigs below, causing many people to start thinking about it and trying every means to fight for power.

Therefore, influenced by the warlord’s thinking, the first army group was not suppressed by Howard, and the offensive soon became unsustainable. The army commanders and division commanders were thinking about preserving their strength, worrying that they would lose their wealth in the future. Lagged in the struggle.

These people generally feel that their side is not only the main attack direction anyway, as long as they can firmly hold the enemy on the opposite side, then they will complete the task, and they can't fight too hard.

If Howard, who was sent to the rear hospital, learned that as soon as he left the front line, the aristocratic generals immediately sprouted, like bear children who discovered that the head teacher was not there, he would definitely regret that he did not obey Dragon. According to the suggestion, a major purge of the entire Eastern Empire Army's high level should be carried out before the war begins.

At this time, the Western Army, Kharov, who was assigned to serve as the commander of the Northern Theater, had already noticed the changes on the opposite side. Combined with the situation sent by the intelligence department before, he almost immediately understood what was going on.

But Harov didn't want to laugh at Howard because of this, because if the same situation happened on his side, it would be the same, or even worse.

"Unexpectedly, the old man actually won the young man."

Although he noticed the changes in the enemy's army, Kharov knew very well that he was no better here.In the days of war, the Northern Army led by him suffered heavy losses, and because it had no air superiority, it was kept under attack by the opposite side.

Air raids time after time have allowed him and his troops to fully see the power of aviation.The enemy calls those iron birds angels, and they call them demons!

Fortunately, they are not completely without this kind of technology, but the scale and use are not as mature as the other party.

Just as Harov was carefully pondering how to use the series of problems that his opponent had exposed so far, his adjutant knocked on the door and ran in, with uncontrollable excitement on his face.

"General, great news! Great victory on the Western Front!"

"The Great Victory on the Western Front? Has any strategic location been conquered over there?"

Hearing the shouts from his subordinates, Kharov subconsciously thought that it was the crusades on the Western Front that had achieved another result. He sent a telegram to other fronts to tell him good news, but what the adjutant said immediately made Kharov stunned on the spot. There.

"They captured Pukulu Fortress, and the Five Princes surrendered!"

"what did you say!?"

The five princes surrendered and the battle on the Western Front was over. The reason why Kharov was shocked was because it meant that the Western Front could free up at least 400,000 troops to advance eastward.Either assisting the northern front or returning to the emperor is enough to become a decisive force to turn things around and completely reverse their current unfavorable situation.

Harov was stunned for half a minute, then he slammed the table and stood up, and while striding out with a meteor, he instructed his adjutant.

"Notify all officers above the division level to go to the headquarters for a meeting, and let the messenger tell those guys that there is a major order to be issued, and they are limited to roll over within 20 minutes. Who dares to be one second late, I will send him to the death squad !"

Chapter 571

The news about the defeat and surrender of the Five Princes Group on the Western Front was not only about Kharov, but also the First and Second Army Groups of the Eastern Army. They also received a lot of key details from the Five Princes.

Although the opponent surrendered, before ordering the troops to stop their resistance completely, they communicated some information to their allies through a secret special line, including the "super bombs" used by the Western army on their heads.It was this thing that scared the Fifth Prince and his troops and completely dispelled the idea of ​​resisting to the end.

After receiving this telegram, Dragon was also taken aback by the horrific content described above.

"Is it a thermobaric bomb? No! It should be a more basic cloud explosive bomb."

For this kind of weapon, Dragon, a traverser, has heard of it, and understands some principles.This is a fuel bomb that can kill organisms with thermal, high-pressure, and oxygen-consuming suffocation effects, and is even more effective for targets that stay in the bunker.

Unexpectedly, Firavi mastered this big killer silently, and used it in actual combat. The direct bombing of the five princes gave up their weapons and surrendered, which is really surprising.

The telegram stated that the Pukulu Fortress group had received five cloud bombs at that time, four of which were thrown on the outer secondary fort, and the remaining one was lost to the main fort.

These parachute bombs will explode in the air when they are tens of meters away from the ground. Each explosion causes them unimaginably huge casualties, killing all living creatures within a radius of one or two hundred meters. Even the soldiers hiding in the bunker were not spared, and their deaths were very miserable.

So when the defending soldiers rushed to the scene to collect the corpses, many people were shocked by the hell-like scene in the fortress passage.

The fifth prince himself was also very fateful. When the cloud burst bomb was dropped, he did not stay on the side of the main fort, but inspected the front line in the north outer sub-fort.This side happened to be the enemy's feint attack direction, so it did not receive any "special attention."

The deafening explosion in the direction of the main castle made the five princes who were several kilometers away can also be heard clearly, and they even witnessed the rising of a small mushroom cloud.

Afterwards, the five princes hesitated for a day, and finally chose to surrender because of fear, because he did not know how many such super bombs were still in his hands, and the next time the opponent dropped the bomb, he would not be as lucky as this time. , Just not at the scene.

In fact, the five princes are scaring themselves at all. Although the structure of the cloud explosive bomb is not complicated and it is suitable for large-scale production, the deployment of the cloud explosive agent is still in the laboratory small-scale production stage, so it is far from large-scale production. Mass production still has a long way to go.After finishing these five shots, Firavi won't be able to get any new ones for at least a short time.

But this kind of thing, Firavi will definitely not take the initiative to tell his opponent.

In any case, the collapse of the Five Princes Group has indeed caused a huge tilt in the local war situation.After accepting the surrender of the defenders of the Pukulu Fortress, Philavi’s Western Front Crusade Army drew out more than half of its troops and quickly returned to the imperial capital.

This group of troops has a total of 22 divisions, 300,000 people, and more than 400 tanks. They rushed to the east aggressively, and are expected to arrive in the imperial capital in four to five days.

Although Dragon has already completed the encirclement of the palace, Firawi himself has also made a turtle in the urn, but it will take a long time to knock on the other's shell.This makes the current situation start to become unfavorable for the Second Army Group.

The Eastern Empire Army, which has almost invested in its entire combat force, has no extra troops to stop the 300,000 enemy reinforcements. Some of the remaining defenders in the imperial capital are defending the palace, and some are regrouped outside the city, especially Fei. Ravi's direct line of the Seventh Armored Division is still a force that people cannot be taken lightly.

If Dragon bites the bullet and continues to gnaw the palace, then they will most likely be surrounded by heavy enemy troops. Even if his 100,000 elite can fight again, once they are cut off from supplies, they will think about the possibility of breaking through. It's not that easy.

After understanding the whole situation, all the officers present in the headquarters of the Second Army Group looked solemn.They saw that victory was in sight, but they encountered this kind of fucking thing when they were only close to the door. As long as they were involved in this series of actions, they would feel very angry.

The officers discussed and discussed countermeasures for a while, and some people couldn't help cursing the five princes for their incompetence because they were so angry.At the beginning, it was very powerful, saying that they would stick to the Pukulu fortress group for at least half a year, but it was only two weeks, and they would beg for mercy. It was a model of pig teammates.

Dragon did not participate in these arguments, but kept thinking with his head down. As the commander of the army, he was the one who made the final decision, and his decision will affect the hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers of the Second Army. Fate cannot help him being careless.

As for whether to ask the superior first... A superior without Howard, Dragon simply couldn't believe it!Judging from the news that Kane secretly sent to them, the first group of troops is now turbulent. There are several groups fighting secretly, hoping to replace Kane and gain control of the first group of troops, completely ignoring the current situation. What's the situation, Kane is very troubled.

Since the First Army can’t count on it, Dragon can only find a way on his own. If possible, he doesn’t want to ruin the Second Army. This is not only because the Marine Corps as the main force of the Legion is the old man he brought out. Basically, it is because the entire army has concentrated the best parts of the Eastern Empire.

There is an old saying in the army, "Veterans are fine and expensive"!Not only because the combat effectiveness of veterans is higher, but also because the training of veterans is not easy, unlike cannon fodder.

So hesitated again and again, Dragon made a decision that was destined to be criticized by many people and even verbally criticized after he returned.

retreat!Before the enemy completes the encirclement, take all the troops out!

Now that the decision has been made, Dragoon and the others must prepare for this goal.The main force of the legion is still in the state of receiving the enemy, and the front line is still attacking the palace, and the sound of guns outside has not stopped for a moment during their meeting.

At this time, if the entire army retreats hastily, with Firavi’s ability, he must immediately catch up and bite him. He transferred his 7th Armored Division to the outside line, obviously he has made such preparations. .
