Macho Wars

After the "Hegemony Operation" of the Eastern Army officially began, the first few days can be described as frequent successes.Dragon’s Second Army Group has been smashing all the way, and the official media on the New World side naturally praised it in newspapers and broadcasts. They blew Dragoon and his Marines to the sky, as if taking the emperor was nothing but trying to get something. .

As a result, many nobles brought gifts to Li's family to congratulate them, and they almost flattened the walls of their homes.Alicia, who had had her baby at home, was overwhelmed, but she couldn't reach out to make a smile, so she could only try to perfunctory first.

However, this kind of turbulent situation did not last long. As some bad news began to appear, the excitement that people had just been mobilized was like being poured with a bucket of cold water and replaced by anxiety. .

This is the case for ordinary people, no matter how high or low, they lack the effective ability to discern various information from the outside world, so listening to the wind is rain.The first second was still cheering for the good news, and the next second Liushen Wuzhu might be frightened by the bad news.

Alicia did not believe in the rumors and rumors outside, but she learned from Ninth Sister Enfia that the situation on the front line had indeed taken a turn for the worse, and the overlord operation with high hopes had been confirmed to have failed. There were only three battlefields in the northwest and south. The Second Army Group where Dragon was in withdrew in time, but after jumping out of the encirclement, Dragoon himself took the paratroopers and twisted to the northern front to rescue the First Army Group. He is currently organizing the final defensive battle at Horn Harbor.

After listening to the detailed information brought back by the nine sisters, Alicia frowned, worried about her husband and uncle who were in danger.

"Sister Nine, what can we do for him now?"

"The colony’s ships with ocean-going capabilities have already set off. Apart from sincere prayers for him, we have no other help on the front line. But on the New World side, we may be able to plan ahead for the future."

Enfia had heard Dragone say before the start of the hegemony that this battle was their only chance to counterattack the homeland. Once they failed, it would be difficult to have another.

But in this way, there is only one way left before the Eastern Empire, and that is self-reliance.Ephrawi's previous methods and brutality in the imperial city's purges, many of them will not escape death even if they surrender, so there is almost no second option, at least Enfia can't see it. .

Enfia’s biggest worry now is that the political opponents of the high-level government who look at Dragoon will take advantage of this defeat and even let him back the defeat of the entire war.For those politicians to achieve their goals, telling right and wrong is just a basic operation.

Therefore, Enfia hopes to build momentum for Dragon in advance through the media, so as not to fall into passivity in the public opinion front.But she is a soldier after all, and she doesn't have any contacts in the media, but Alicia, who has been the governor of the colony for two years, may have.

After Enfea told the other party about her thoughts, Alicia groaned for a moment. First, she carefully looked around to make sure that she and Jiu Sister were the only people in the small living room on the second floor. Then, she lowered her voice and said to her.

"I do know someone who can help."

Chapter 582 "Reinforcement"

As the last battlefield in the empire's mainland, the remaining eastern empire troops led by Dragon still resisted tenaciously at Horn Harbor, only to buy time for the more than two million people behind them who were in desperate need to evacuate.

At this time, many people who are concerned about this war are looking forward to whether Dragon will create a miracle again and make the impossible possible.After all, in the series of battles he has participated in in the past, this man has always been able to come up with some unexpected new tricks and big babies, and the scalp numb of the crowd eating melons.

The tens of thousands of remnants of Horn Harbor have the same expectations. Dragon is the last straw they can grasp in despair. If he and his paratroopers had not fallen from the sky at the time of Horn Harbor’s crisis, they would The bereaved dog who was driven all the way by the enemy to throw away his armor and armor, it is almost impossible to muster the courage to fight.

It was Dragon who did not give up on them and took the initiative to come back to fight alongside them. He gave these remnants the courage and hope to survive. Therefore, the soldiers also trusted this general from the heart and were willing to fight for him to the end!

Many military officers who witnessed this scene felt that the imperial general who could boost the morale of his officers and soldiers by name alone was named Howard Barano.

However, Dragoon himself, who was highly hoped by everyone, knew very well that he was not an omnipotent god and could not perform miracles every time.The reason why he came back was entirely out of a soldier's responsibility to Brother Paoze. From the very beginning, he never thought that he would be able to save everyone in Horn Harbor, but how much he could eventually take out depends on the fate.

Under Kharov's fierce attack, although the defenders were tenacious in combat, they were still forced to retreat steadily, shrinking toward the port.On the first night of the battle, the suburban airport that had been under special care was the first to declare a fall.

Fortunately, Dragon knew that this side was too prominent and could not be held at all, so the air force's fleet was transferred to Teddy Island in advance, and the air support was solely responsible for the air fleet on the three aircraft carriers outside the port.

With limited air support, severely insufficient firepower, and a defensive depth of only a few kilometers, Kharov, as an attacker with absolute superiority in strength, can directly push the entire force as long as his troops come up without brain A. port.

In the headquarters, Dragon looked at the sand table calmly, the whole room was shaking with the rumble of cannons outside, and some dust fell on the ceiling from time to time, forcing the soldiers to be unable to take off their hats in the room.

The battle-tested Dragon can be judged only by the sound of the guns. The enemy artillery has advanced to a position within ten kilometers from the center of the port.

At this distance, although the opponent has entered the range of the fortress artillery, Kharov has already improved their artillery tactics.The opponent can be said to have been forced to complete an "super evolution" by the Eastern Army's air strikes, changing from the conventional large-group fixed-point shooting in the past to a fast and mobile shooting carried out by companies.

Each howitzer team is equipped with two trucks, and the number of shots in the same position will not exceed five rounds. After the shots are completed, regardless of whether they are hit or miss, they immediately pack up their things and start transferring.This set of mobile combat procedures can be said to be a new tactic that the Western Army has explored and summed up after spending an unknown amount of artillery blood.

of course!This tactic is not completely useful. As long as a truck with artillery is found by a passing aircraft, it will be inevitable in all likelihood, but compared to the previous group and being taken away by others, the loss rate has been substantial. It has dropped a lot.

Kharov now has nothing else but more soldiers and artillery!Even if the last artillery regiment is to be lost a day, he can still fight under the horn port city for half a month.In contrast, whether Dragon can last for three days is still unknown.

Counting the reinforcements arriving one after another, the gap between the offensive and defensive forces has reached a desperate 13:1, and Kharov couldn't think of how he would lose!

However, when the Horn Harbor was in danger and the defenders were about to break through the final line of defense, Kharov suddenly received an emergency telegram from Firavi, asking him to immediately stop the offensive, immediately lead his troops to turn around, and quickly return to the northwest border.

Just a few hours before this telegram was delivered to Kharov, the Kingdom of Wieland and the Crick Federation launched attacks from both the north and south of the empire at the same time. The army quickly broke through the border defenses of the empire and advanced to the interior.

The two countries have shown such a tacit agreement that they obviously passed the air in advance.Although the other power, Eastern Qin, did not directly confront the empire, it also sent an ambassador to hand over the letter of credence to Firavi, condemning the inhumane attack by the Western army at Horn Harbor, completely ignoring the safety of the two million innocent local people. .

The three major powers chose to take action together on this most terrible juncture. They made it clear that they were going to pull sideways. Firavi understood their intentions, but there was no way. They had no choice but to blunt the flesh that was about to reach the mouth. Spit it out.

Looking at the telegram in his hand, Kharov couldn't say anything for a long time. He always felt that something was stuck in his heart, which made him feel uncomfortable as if to suffocate.

The officers present all looked at him, and saw the old man take a deep breath, and then commanded his men in a voice full of resentment and resentment.

"Notify the troops, stop the offensive...We will return to the Northwest!"

Soon after Kharov's order was issued, although the front-line troops of the Western Army were very at a loss, they quickly stopped the offensive in accordance with the instructions of their superiors.In order to prevent the troops from experiencing a loss of morale, he directly told the officers and soldiers below the truth. It was the shameless Virante and the Federation bastard who took the opportunity to attack them. Compared to being beaten by them, he only had the last breath. For the Eastern Empire Army, a new and greater threat has emerged!

So the morale of the Western Army officers and soldiers was quickly elevated to the highest level because of anger, and the troops immediately set out to march north.But as soon as the gunfire stopped on their side, Dragoon, who sensed the abnormality, immediately dispatched a reconnaissance plane. It turned out that most of the enemy forces were being transferred urgently. After a little pondering, he immediately understood what had happened.

"In the end, I still rely on foreign aid!"

The enemy troops stopped their offensive and began to retreat. After learning that this was true, everyone in the entire command post was relieved and felt a sense of rejoicing after the disaster.Although everyone doesn't necessarily understand what happened, it feels like this is enough to shout "General Li Niubi" with a broken voice.

But just as everyone cheered for the enemy's retreat, a captain suddenly rushed into the command post.As soon as Dragon saw the other party, the expression he had just relaxed became serious again.

Chapter 583-Howard

The captain who rushed into the command post from the outside was named Wilson, Howard's current adjutant.Therefore, seeing Wilson suddenly appear in the command post, Dragoon's heart suddenly sank.

"General Li, the commander in chief wants to see you."

"Go! I'll pass right away."

Without the slightest hesitation, Dragon raised his leg and walked quickly outside the door. When some of the surrounding officers saw this, they all vaguely guessed what was happening, and hurriedly followed.A group of officers went out of the command post to the surface, got on the jeep and went straight to the Navy General Hospital.

Under the urging of Dragon, several military vehicles all the way to the end of the throttle, shuttled through the urban streets of Horn Harbor.Along the way, many soldiers and stranded people can be seen cheering and celebrating in the streets.The convoy was forced to slow down for fear of hitting someone and honked the horn to remind passers-by to leave.

At this time, some sharp-eyed paratroopers saw that their boss Dragon was sitting in the first car, thinking that the other party was inspecting, and they all saluted the convoy excitedly.Under their lead, other soldiers from non-Marine Corps and the general public also followed by saluting the passing convoy, shouting the name of Dragon.

Seeing that these soldiers and civilians were in the mood, Dragon was anxious and wished to fly directly to the hospital, but he forced a smile and greeted the people outside the car.

Fortunately, although the military and civilians were excited, they did not try to stop the vehicle.The driver hurriedly rolled down the window and called a lieutenant of the nearby paratroopers and told them that they were in a hurry and needed to rush to the Naval General Hospital immediately, asking them to help clear the way.Upon hearing this, the lieutenant led people to open a passage without saying anything, allowing the convoy to pass quickly.

Soon, the convoy rushed to the entrance of the General Hospital. After getting out of the car, Dragoon and a group of officers ran directly to Howard's ward at a speed of 100 meters.

As soon as Dragon entered the door, he saw Howard, who had been in bed for several days, sat up, with the exception of an oxygen mask, other medical equipment and intravenous drips.The complexion looks ruddy, but it reveals a slightly unusual color.

With the help of two nurses, the old man is putting on his military uniform again. At first glance, he seems to have fully recovered and is about to be discharged from the hospital.He raised his head and glanced at Dragon, who was standing in the doorway, panting, with a kindly relieved smile.

"Come on."

"General..."

"Lee, you did a good job, really, it's really hard for you."

Howard spoke in a very soft voice, breathing slightly, and the doctors next to him all lowered their heads. The expressions on their faces were very complicated, both guilt and unbearable.

Just ten minutes ago, at the request of Howard himself, they took him a very special alchemy potion.This potion was born hundreds of years ago, when the magic hadn't decayed, it was in its heyday.It can restore the spirit of a dying person in an instant, but at the cost of overdrawing the last bit of vitality. Once the effect is over, it will quickly die from heart failure. It is a magical heart booster, and it also has one that sounds very elegant. The name is "Ye Tan Hua".
