Andre, the commander of Bailton Division, looked helplessly at Lu Ming, who was chattering beside him.
The Bailton Division is preparing to evacuate Fort Bailton.
Bailton Castle is the capital of the Bailton State. It was an important northeastern town that once guarded the imperial capital. The Duke of Bailton has always been the most accomplished imperial general, rather than a hereditary noble title. Until more than three hundred years ago, the empire was completely After the constitutional monarchy was established, the title disappeared in the long river of history.
However, the designation of the Bailton Army has been retained, but now it has become the Bailton Division with only more than 10,000 soldiers.
Andre never dared to forget the glory of his ancestors, but the problem was that the Bailton Division was not mechanized at all, and there was only a tank battalion directly under the division headquarters, with only twenty or thirty tanks.
The Third Mechanic Division of the Sonia Defense Force, which is about to arrive at Fort Bailton, is one of Sonia's most elite mechanics, a fully armored force with more than 300 tanks.
The Bailton Division had no hope of resisting the attack.
What's more, the main troops of both sides are now in a state of repair and assembly. Orders from "Eastston" and even the Northern Army Headquarters ordered the Bailton Division to temporarily abandon Fort Bailton.
The Sonia frontline troops still have legions that are encroaching on their own territory.
This is the case with the Third Mechanic Division. Because it entered the Grifenni region late and failed to catch up with the major battle, its commander is holding his breath. Now it is rampaging in the northern region, and, in the northern region , and it is indeed difficult for the Grifenni army to pose a threat to it.
According to the order of "Dongston", the Griffini legions are gradually gathering in the central region, and are also waiting for the materials and equipment provided by the Eastern Alliance. I heard that the eastern heavy industry region, and even the northern region, are encouraging Chariots are produced at full capacity, and a large number of chariots have been continuously transported to the empire on the north-south railway lines.
Therefore, the piecemeal resistance in the northern region today does not matter at all.
Unexpectedly, the normal evacuation of the Bailton Division was blocked by the captain from the Principality of Montenegro.
Captain Lu's command seemed to be an infantry battalion. It was supposed to be operating in the Newsleton area hundreds of kilometers away, where it was very safe.
Unexpectedly, this small armed force came to the northern front line inexplicably.
Captain Lu was still talking, "Trading territory for time is not like this. We must always stop the Sonia people and beat their arrogance!"
For the first time, Lu Ming had to use all his tricks to convince people, and his mouth was dry when he said, "The location of Fort Bailton is also very important. Sonia's third mechanic is not someone who obeys the orders of his superiors. , instead of repairing, it has been advancing northward. It is obvious that its goal is Fort Bailton. Because it controls the Bailton Bridge, its military front can be flat in the northern area. His mechanical troops will be in the next battle. Will completely take the initiative! ”
Andre said helplessly: "I understand what you said, but our resistance is just a mantis trying to fight a chariot. It will have no effect except sacrifice in vain. We are not afraid of sacrifice, but there is no value in sacrifice. It is an irresponsible and shameful act for the commander."
If he didn't think that the other party was volunteering to support our own war against the invaders, a small leader armed with hundreds of civilians would not have met him at all.
If you don’t want to lose your prestige in front of third-party soldiers, and don’t want the other party to think that you are a coward and fearful of death, there is no need to explain these explanations.
Lu Ming said helplessly: "But even if you retreat, aren't you ready to blow up the Bailton Bridge?"
Andre immediately opened his eyes in surprise. It was obvious that he had never thought about this problem and found it even more incredible.
The Bailton Bridge is the longest cross-river bridge in the empire. It is extremely costly and connects the southern and northern areas of Grifony. It is more than 4,000 meters long and has created a miracle in the history of architecture.
Why blow it up?
Lu Ming looked at Andre's expression and shook his head, where is the war? What a child's play.
It is true that although the Sonyans have captured the imperial capital, the casualties on both sides are not large.
However, the number of officers and soldiers captured and surrendered by the Kingdom of Grifenni exceeded 150,000.
Among them, eight divisions were organized and raised white flags.
But he just saw that things were not going to work and he did not want to make unnecessary sacrifices after being surrounded, but he would not change his banner and be reorganized into the Sonia army by the Sonia people and turn against him.
The Sonnians were not as cruel to the Grifenni as they were to the Geds or in the Western Regions.
Those behaviors in the Gede region or the Western Regions are strictly prohibited. However, during the war, soldiers killed, set fire, raped and looted, etc. It is impossible to disappear. However, compared with the Gede region and the Western Regions, this kind of Violations of military discipline are relatively rare, because if confirmed by an investigation by the First Controlling Military Police, they will be severely punished.
Of course, the Grifenni who held a demonstration in the Sonnian-occupied area were still fired upon mercilessly by machine guns.
Thinking about it, Lu Ming said: "What if I said that we have a chance to stop the Sonya mechanics and make them return in defeat?"
Andre shook his head disapprovingly: "Captain Lu, let's stop daydreaming!"
Standing next to Andre all the time is a tall and thin colonel, the chief of staff of the Bailton Division, De Beyer.
In fact, from his surname, we know that he may be related to the last Duke of Bailton, and may be his direct descendant.
At this time, Debyer interrupted: "Captain Lu, do you have any way to stop the Sonya mechanics?"
Andre frowned and glanced at him, but said nothing.
Lu Ming nodded: "We have secret weapons and specially trained anti-tank troops."
De Beer's eyes lit up: "Would you like to hear the details?"
Lu Ming said: "Let's see it again during the battle. I won't be able to explain it for a while."
Andre shook his head, "Captain Lu, I'm not trying to discourage you. I also admire your courage and perseverance. However, the volunteers you brought are all infantry, and I don't see any artillery. Or other large weapons. I can tell you clearly that even if you fill a truck with gunpowder and get close to the Sonia tank before being destroyed by the opponent, there is not much hope of destroying his tank unless your truck is The secret weapon has an unknown structure, but according to my observation, these trucks seem to be produced in our Greifeni region!"
There was some sarcasm in Andre's tone, and he gradually became impatient with this northerner who had never seen the world. Do you think tanks are so easy to deal with? You said you have armored troops in the Northern Territory, but do you think they are the same kind of iron cans from decades ago? You country bumpkin, do you still think our tanks are so ridiculous?
There was also some doubt in Debyer's eyes as he stared at Lu Ming. His original joy was now shaken by his confidence.
Lu Ming thought for a while and said: "In this way, I only need one regiment to provide cover, and a tank battalion directly under the division headquarters. I hope to stay as well. My battle plan is to attack Sonya at the Bailton Bridge. The tank division launched a blocking attack. If it fails, our people will blow up the Bailton Bridge. Therefore, the covering troops you left have enough time to retreat."
"What are you doing by blowing up the bridge?! Do you know what a huge impact it will have on the economy of Bayton State?" Andre's tone gradually became stern.
Lu Ming really wanted to open his head to see what was inside, but he also understood that the Grifinni and the Sonians had always been one. In fact, no matter which side won the competition in the end, they would not be subjugated. feelings of shame.
What's more, they have never been baptized by the tragic wars of modern times. The current state of mind of many of their senior generals is completely different from their own.
Over there, Debyer's eyes lit up when he heard Lu Ming mention "blow up the bridge" again and again. Obviously, he supported the idea of blowing up the bridge.
"Commander, I am willing to stay and supervise Captain Lu not to blow up the bridge!"
De Beer said so, but from the gleam in his eyes, he obviously thought that if he stayed behind, even if it proved that these people from the Northern Territory were just talking nonsense, at least they could blow up the bridge and seriously hinder Sonia. people successfully achieve strategic goals.
Andre frowned, but Debyer had already said to the staff officer not far away: "Convey the order from the division headquarters to order the third regiment and the division tank battalion to terminate the retreat and wait for my further instructions!"
The staff officer stood up and left.
Andre was a little helpless. It seemed that it was really at a critical moment. De Beer didn't like him too much, and there was nothing he could do. In the Bailton Division, De Beer's prestige was probably higher than that of the division commander. .
