Power and Empire Chapter 1949: The river rushes (3)
Countless white silk threads that have turned into moisturizing and moisturizing are permeating the world in front of us,
A team of light cavalry wearing silver-rimmed armor escorted a carriage slowly into the gate of the Congolese Border Guard Headquarters. These guarding light cavalry wore the red and black bordered cloaks of the military guards, the door of the carriage There is also a unicorn mark of the Congolese and Fei Ministry of Military Affairs, indicating that there are big figures from the Congolese and Fei Ministry of Military Affairs in this carriage
On the steps of the headquarters of the Congolese Border Defense Forces, Fabregas, the chief of the border defense forces, and more than a dozen generals of the border defense forces stood on the steps, watching the carriage in the distance entering the headquarters of the border defense forces, without waiting. The carriage stopped, and Fabregas, the chief of the border guards, was the first to walk into the rain in a straight-forward Congolese army commander's uniform. The generals behind hurriedly followed. The rain fell on the uniforms of the generals, like raindrops. A little dark flower blooms, the rain in April is not cold, but everyone’s face looks a little ugly,
Everyone knows what that adult is here for this time! The situation has changed. This time, in order to counter the aggressiveness of the Falcon Empire on the borders of General Settlement, the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the coalition forces acted in unison and adopted the tactics of two-line attack. The coalition forces with as many as 170,000 were responsible. Attacking the direction of the Baruta Fortress, and for the Congo, on the original basis, the Ministry of Military Affairs once again added 70,000 troops to the border, and a reserve local army of 40,000 is mobilizing here, ready to cooperate with the original 11th November. The Wan Empire Southern Army, with a total force of 220,000, completely resolved the pressure on the Falcon Empire.
six days have passed, the border guards on the other side of the attack line are still quiet,
Now is the time for supplies to be tight. The 170,000 coalition forces plus 220,000 border guards, Gang Fei Chaotang, who has just received a respite, is under the logistical supply pressure of nearly 400,000 troops, and the coalition is in The poor performance of the Barruta Fortress attack, tens of thousands of casualties were mixed in the fire, and most of the army's logistics were burned. Finally forced the Congolese Military Affairs Department to hope that the border guards will take the initiative to alleviate the existing logistical pressure. After all, the current strength of the border guards has already surpassed the Falcon Emperor who has a total strength of only 140,000.
"Crack" the carriage stopped under the steps, and the head of the border guard Fabgares stopped by the carriage, stretched out his hand to pull the car door in a respectful manner, and the people who came down paid a military salute." My lord, it’s a great honor for your subordinates to be here!"
"Really, I thought you had forgotten who put you in this important position!" A stern and thin old man got down from the carriage. Lifting his head, his turbid eyes stared at this 60-year-old building in the rain, his eyes were a bit complicated,
"How dare you! The subordinates are very clear that without an adult, there would be no Fabgarez's position today!" Fabgarez's two-meter stout body trembled slightly, and quickly responded.
"Don't you dare? So what are you doing?" Marshal Marcos, the Minister of Military Affairs of the Republic of Congo, looked solemn, and snorted heavily. "The advantage of a full 80,000 people is in your hands, but you don't hesitate Decided. Just pushing the front line ten miles forward is an explanation?"
"Our army has contained the Falcons on the opposite side! But the opponent has taken defense. Without knowing the specific arrangement, the subordinates can only stand off temporarily"
Fabgareth was a little embarrassed, explaining, "The confrontation between the 220,000 border guards and the 140,000 Falcon Emperor on the opposite side. It is true that some should not be! But his subordinates have seen the Falcons in Port Valenya. Raytheon’s power, it is clear that the Falcon’s defense line on the opposite side also has as much firepower as the imperial navy seen on the day. It’s no problem to take a defense or it’s okay, but take the initiative to attack. I’m afraid it will step into the opponent’s trap! "
"What the empire needs is victory! The army is the sword of the empire, the sword must see blood, not an ornament!"
Marcos heard Fabugales’ explanation. The voice was annoyed. "Do you know that every day is delayed, the court in the rear must raise more rations for this large-scale battle. This is already the last hope of the empire's counterattack. For this reason, His Majesty even took I took out all the food looted in the general area some time ago, and put down my figure to sell royal treasures privately to the Central European and Baro countries in exchange for food imports from various countries."
"This..." Fab Gareth wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth but didn't say it.
Marcos walked up the steps in front of him, and said, "In the temporary Kyoto Besuka, the price of food has increased tenfold. Even so, you may not be able to buy food if you have money but no health. Every day, people starve to death. At first it was civilians. Now there are even nobles. Are you planning to wait until a minister starves to death before you take the initiative to attack the Falcon army on the opposite side?"
"My lord, you don't know anything, it's not that I don't want to take the initiative to attack, it's really..." Fabugales looked sad, he stopped talking,
"What is it really?"
Marcos stopped, his eyes burning like fire, Fabugales was pushed up with one hand, Fabugales had many shortcomings, but his loyalty was not problematic, and he came from a background in the Southern Army. , It also helps to appease the volatility of the Southern Army due to the 1.12 incident,
Although Fabgarez chose to withdraw during the raid on General Tau, from a strategic point of view, he successfully completed the task of plundering materials with all his strength arranged by the Ministry of Military Affairs. Compared with the first hunting war, It took two legions to withdraw from the Pu Tau region in embarrassment. Fabugales managed to get out of the nearly 300,000 Falcons counterattack at the cost of only 20,000 people. It is a miracle!
"The plague has appeared in the army, which has infected thousands of people. At this time, if a large army is used to attack, I am afraid that the plague will spread beyond control." Fabugales stood at attention and decided to tell the truth.
"Plague?"
Marcos was audibly surprised, and his eyebrows frowned. The plague has a deterrent power comparable to nuclear weapons in this era. An unstoppable plague can even turn a city into a **** of death. No one dares to ignore this problem. After a few serious questions, Marcos said grimly, "If it is still under control, just deal with it on the spot!"
"But my lord, they are all true warriors of the empire. They have all performed in the northern part of Put Tau! And they are still alive, they..." Fabugalez's face was a little pale, these were affected. Most of the infected people are soldiers and officers of the Eleventh Step Corps who followed him
"Enough!"
Marcos interrupted him aloud. He glanced at him with piercing eyes, as if he had noticed something, and took a deep breath, "Are you fainted? How could such a serious matter not be reported? Relative to the safety of the 220,000 army, the measures taken are compelling! I allow it! If you report your death in battle, their families will be compensated!
" My lord! "Fabgareth's face was pale, and his footsteps stopped for a while. As an emperor who had come from his heyday, Marcos's words were like a punch on his heart, and his heart hurts. !
" Let’s deal with it like this. Before the border guards attack, I will personally sit in town!"
Marcos shook his hand vigorously and looked at the building, his eyes full of memories and said, "As the commander of the whole army, there are always times when I have to abandon it. I see this building in front of me. It used to be Gang Fei. The place where the empire showed its ambitions and strengths in the Phu Tau area. Just a few years ago, I personally arranged the conquest of the Phu Tau area in this building. But now, everything has changed. The powerful Gang Fei era Gone forever, the gangfei male lion with bruises and bruises. Just like this old building swaying in the rain, I can no longer see the slightest aura of arrogance at the beginning, more like Central Europe and Barrow countries raised to resist. The foreign enemy hòu Yan Canchuan is the guard dog waiting for alms! I know you are in a bad mood, but the empire can't afford to lose!"
just as Marcos arrived at the base camp of the Congolese Border Force. An emergency report from the front line was also sent
The Falcon Army troops located on the northern front of Bhutau also waited for reinforcements from the southwest area. The Imperial Navy's transport fleet transported the troops of the three main flag regiments from the southwest area into Bhutau. The Falcons, which received additional aid, and the defensive line that was suppressed by the intrusion of the Congolese and African border troops, have also begun to see a large-scale buildup of forces
"This is a precursor to the attack! Before the military **** emperor has determined the target, we should take the initiative to attack and disrupt the other party's deployment!" Marcos solemnly placed the information in his hands on the table"
"I have a feeling that the other party is waiting for us!"
Fabgareth hesitated with the hunter’s keen sense of smell, but with Marcos’s border guards, Fabregas’s attitude was not important anymore. At the meeting, Marcos re-adjusted his planned battle plan. This combat plan includes nine southern infantry regiments that have been renamed the Border Guard as the offensive side.
"Using superior forces to launch a full-scale attack on the Falcon Army’s defenses, the advantage of doing so is that it can effectively avoid the key areas where the Falcon Army has Thor’s defenses. The battle line between the two armies is close to 100 miles. I believe that the Falcons can control such a long battle line." Marcos closed the battle plan in his hands, looked at the generals, was silent, and there was a trace of sorrow in his eyes. Only these people are left withered. The Eleventh Step Corps of Fabregas’s direct line is required to stay behind
As for the reason, Marcos did not say, but the generals who participated in the meeting knew well that the plague was spreading in the eleventh legion, and it seemed that Fabregas began to make Marcos upset and could get Fortunately, the chance of luck is getting dwindling, or soon, the head of the border guard will be replaced. For other generals, this is good news. Many are dissatisfied with Fabregas's success. , Everyone grinds their fists and palms, waiting for a good performance to show Master Marcos
"Let’s do it like this!"
Marcos stood up, his eyes swept across his face and finally flashed some war-hearted generals, took a deep breath, he did not say a message,
The 30,000 Central Army of the Falcon Empire in Fort Muia in the south has begun to march northward, and swiftly inserted into the flanks of the Congo-Fei military defense line. This is like a sword, and the Congo-Fei empire has no choice. In the Jedi, if the coalition forces cannot break through Baruta and encircle the Falcons, this rapidly advancing Falcons will directly threaten the flank of the 220,000 border guards. Once the empire’s last military group collapses, Gangfei There is no hope for the empire anymore. Marcos left the temporary Kyoto Besuka with a mortal heart. At this time, anyone who stood in front of him would be kicked mercilessly, including Fabregas who was pulled up with one hand.
"Woo...oooo...oooo..." At noon, the long bugle echoed on the front plain, and the fat man woke up from a nap and walked out in a coat,
"Your Majesty, the Congolese Army has launched a full-scale offensive!" General Hu Keqili trot all the way, his face showing a solemn and dynamic expression "A real full-line offense!
"A real full-line offense?" The fat man froze slightly and looked into the distance. The thick black smoke that represents the discovery of the enemy presents a huge arc extending far away, until it disappears at the end of the earth. "It seems that the battle zone is all lit up! I really don't know if the opponent is crazy or can't see it at all. The clear form, unexpectedly launched a full press from such a wide distance." The fat man shuddered, blinked his eyes, and ordered the 30,000 troops from Muyapu in the south to march northward. Originally, he just wanted to assassinate Gangfei. . Unexpectedly, he stabbed the opponent's hornet's nest, and all came out!
"Very good."
Fatty nodded. No one knows what he means by being very good.
but his expression is calm, but the squeezed hand that squeezed has exposed the jī movement in his heart. If the opponent gathers superior forces and opens a gap at a certain node, it may be difficult to deal with, but this is stupid. Overwhelming, it seems that the strength of the force will be used, but in fact there is no threat at all. Because their opponent is Falcon Jun, the Falcon Army’s crossbow occupies an absolute advantage in the battle-scale force confrontation, and there is no certain number of lives to fill it. No one can cross over easily,
Gang Fei all armies set apart, advancing in a line of skirmishers. As far as the eye can see, in the Falcon Army's vision. The centaurs and horses formed a rough sea, lined up in white raindrops. The messengers of both sides galloped between the military formations, and both sides were sorting out the queue.
The area where the two armies oppose each other is a depression with high ends and low middle.
The fat man wearing a black demon armor stood on a high place, watching the army just across from the army cross the recess between the two armies, the black army seemed to be a slow but unshakable long line, gradually overwhelming the roads, fields, beaches and deserts. , The green fields and pastures, the reflections of metal from the army of the army, the dense knives and guns, in the rising dust of the sky, gleaming dazzling light, just like two giant octopuses. Before engaging in hand-to-hand combat, the first contact is their long tentacles,
"Go forward, charge!" The Gangfei infantry began to accelerate. Opposite them, the 140,000 Falcon Army defense line with 50,000 Central Army as the backbone showed a huge fan. Concave, looking at the Gang Feiren in the distance, the crossbowmen in the Imperial regiment lined up in two lines on the high mountain. Following the command, the crossbow was opened. Slowly raise a forty-five degree angle towards the tense Gangfei infantry formation,
"Gluck"
The string of the longbow is stretched to the maximum, and the steel arrows with blood grooves are lifted up, flashing a layer of cold metal with a pale white light, jumping! jump! The white cold light that bounces, covering the sky from the sun, is like a swarm of locusts that suddenly burst from the edge of a mountain, tracing a series of rapid and graceful white lines across the control zone. Leap quickly over the breathtaking distance of 150 meters,
"Papa Papa" the infantry soldiers in the line flew backwards as if they were hit. Strong arrow clusters shot through their chests, and some arrow clusters were continuously casted and flew together. Going out, countless blood lights accompanied by the crisp sound of broken bones, the screams of the deceased before death made people's hair horrible,
The shooting of several luns in succession made the Gang Fei army directly seem to be cut off.
In the distance, Marcos stared at this scene coldly, without expression. In this general battle where almost all of the counterattack forces were used, such a small loss could not be seen in his eyes.
"Counter-attack, at least, the current military advantage is still in the hands of the Congolese and Fei empires, and the initiative of the campaign is still in the hands of Congo and Fei." Marcos touched the whip in his hand, whispered confidently, and conservatively estimated that the strength of the troops participating in the war was sufficient. There are 180,000 people. If you wait for backup, it should reach 220,000 people.
His estimate is correct for the Congolese and African Army.
But he missed a very important factor: Among the 220,000 African troops, the real number of regular troops is only 110,000 Southern Army, and the other troops are local troops temporarily mobilized from various places~IndoMTL.com~These The local army is a product of the decree of the front-end time, lack of training, uneven equipment, and low combat power.
The most important point is that these soldiers were mobilized by the empire for free
Don’t give money. If you die in battle, it is not considered that the regular army can be compensated. They have to be sent as cannon fodder. The morale of the local army soldiers is low. They join the local army to maintain law and order and obtain a low reward Came to support the family, but now the empire has been ruthlessly pushed to the front line. The contrast is too great. If it were not suppressed by the supervising team, a large area of deserters would have appeared long ago, and such troops would be lined up with superior forces. Hope to suppress the opponent's morale or equipment, the elite troops of the Falcon Empire who can throw them a few blocks away, it is destined to be a disaster!
It’s not that no one can see this, but in the face of the imperial minister, the imperial marshal’s strength, no generals dare to say anything,
The Eleventh Step Corps led by Fabregas was arranged to stay behind. He will be responsible for the back cover of the army, and protect the back road food, grass and luggage. Defend against attacks from the direction of the Falcon’s army,
In other words, this battle has no chance with Fabregas
This is already excellent news for other generals. Now who will touch Master Marshal’s brows,
In this way, out of various considerations within the Congolese and African Army, this absurd strategy that is divorced from reality was decided in this way.
