Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 152 The Premiere of the Airship Troop

Zhang Shitou's unintentional words turned into a reality. Lindan City, the capital of Xianglixing Province, immediately became a hard nut to crack after a Noomi Royal Army Infantry Division under the cover of mercenaries entered. Hard bones.

The 8000st Field Infantry Division of the Imperial Army of the Tang Dynasty, which attacked Lindan City, stormed Lindan City for three consecutive days. As a result, they did not even enter the urban area of ​​Lindan City. Instead, they lost more than [-] people. Zhang Shitou and Niu Dazhu's infantry regiment also joined the battle on the third day of attacking Lindan City.

Later, the No.80 Seventh Field Infantry Division of the Royal Army of the Tang Dynasty came to support, took over the 80st Field Infantry Division, and stormed Lindan City for another three days, although it finally broke into the urban area of ​​Lindan City , but the No.9000 Seventh Field Infantry Division also lost more than 80 people in three days, and as the troops entered the city, the No.[-] Seventh Field Infantry Division's loss speed accelerated a lot.

The 80st Field Infantry Division, which had been resting for three days, was also ordered to join the street battles in the city at this time, fighting side by side with the No.[-] [-]th Field Infantry Division. Lindan city occupies too much advantage.

On the morning of March 3013, 26 in the Tang Dynasty, He Yunfei reported to Su Yihui in the Xiande Hall of the Imperial Palace in Chang'an City: "Marshal, at present, eleven field infantry divisions of our Royal Army of the Tang Empire have entered Hele country, and basically occupied the provinces of Sifeng, Feiting and Pochao in the country of Heile, and several field infantry divisions that captured these three border provinces of Heile are continuing to march towards Heile. We marched into several provinces in the hinterland of the country. Only the Xiangli province on the border, our Royal Army of the Tang Empire encountered a little trouble. Now the main force of the No.80 Seventh Field Infantry Division and the 2st Field Infantry Division are still being used. They blocked Lindan City, the capital of Lixing Province, and now the two field infantry divisions combined have lost more than [-] people in Lindan City."

Su Yi frowned slightly, "Isn't there only one infantry division of the Noomi Army in Lindan City? Is the combat effectiveness of the Noomi Army really that strong?"

"Marshal, the infantry division of the Noomi Army in Lindan City is indeed quite powerful, but in addition to the infantry division of the Noomi Army in Lindan City, there are also three infantry divisions from the Hele Army. The standing infantry divisions have a total strength of 20. Under the influence of the infantry divisions of the Noomi Army, the three standing divisions of the Hele Army have become much more tenacious in their fighting will. If there is only one Noomi The Infantry Division of the Omi Army, Lindan City has long been defeated by the No.80 Seventh Field Infantry Division and the [-]st Field Infantry Division."

Su Yi nodded slightly and said: "Lindan City is the northern gate leading to Heile City, the capital of the Heile Kingdom. After capturing Lindan City, our Royal Army of the Tang Empire can go all the way north and take the Heile Kingdom directly. Now, which field infantry division is rushing to Lindan City?"

He Yunfei said: "Commander, the No. 60 Fifth Field Infantry Division will arrive outside Lindan city tomorrow, but according to the information obtained by the Military Intelligence Bureau, the Heile Army has three hastily formed infantry regiments, and they are rushing to Lindan. Dancheng, Lindan City will be reached in about the day after tomorrow, so it will be very difficult for our Royal Army of the Tang Empire to take Lindan City as soon as possible."

Su Yi frowned and said: "The Heile Kingdom formed an army quite quickly. In just a short time, three new infantry regiments were created. Except for the No. 60 Fifth Field Infantry Division, the other field infantry divisions have to How long will it take to reach Lindan City?"

He Yunfei smiled wryly and said: "Commander, the railway network in Gaoling Province, Yuanxi Province and Jianing Province is not well developed, and the railways in Heile Country have suffered some damage, which restricts the strength of our Royal Army of the Tang Empire. The speed of troop movement, if we want to increase the force to attack Lindan City, it will take at least seven or eight days before another field infantry division can reach Lindan City."

Su Yi thought about it and said: "You can't waste too much time in Lindan City. According to the mobilization ability of the Heile Kingdom, the longer you delay in Lindan City, the more new troops the Heile Kingdom will form. Airship troops are not Have they all entered Yuanxi Province and are on standby? The fighter jets and bombers equipped by the Royal Air Force of the Tang Empire are our trump card. We don’t need to use the trump card to deal with a small Heile country, but the airship force is the right time. It's revealed, it's best to focus the attention of all the powerful countries in the world on the airship, so that the world's powerful countries can continue to ignore the role of aircraft!"

He Yunfei's eyes lit up, "Commander, this is a good idea. I think the airship troops can be dispatched now to bomb the three Heile infantry regiments that are rushing to Lindan City!"

Su Yi then asked He Yunfei: "Yunfei, how do you think we should deal with the fact that the Noomi Empire changed its army to mercenaries?"

He Yunfei smiled slightly and said: "Commander, it seems that the Noomi Empire does not want to break out of an all-out war with our Su Family Army, and hopes that the war will not be declared. I think it can be as the Noomi Empire wants, anyway, our Su Family Army has no I thought about an all-out war with the Noomi Empire."

Su Yi thought about it and said: "That's fine, anyway, the Noomi Empire should not have time to send too many troops into Hele, and there are only more than three months left for the enthronement ceremony. I hope that before the enthronement ceremony is held, , the Heile Kingdom can be eliminated, and twelve provinces will be added to the Tang Empire!"

At around ten o'clock in the morning on March 27, on the plain more than [-] kilometers north of Lindan City, the capital of Lixing Province, there were countless Heile army officers and soldiers, converging into dozens of torrents, heading towards Lindan City direction.

In a car among the officers and soldiers of the Heile Army, Liu Ji, the regiment commander of the new fifth regiment of the Heile Royal Army, said in a deep voice to Luo Hao, the commander-in-chief of the Heile Army: "Chief, in fact, there is no need for you to personally Rushing to Lindan City, I heard that most of the outlying fortifications of Lindan City have been lost. Even if our three infantry regiments arrive at Lindan City, it will be a tough battle. In case you are on the battlefield... Therefore, you should still stay in Heller City and command the operations of the entire Heller Royal Army."

Luo Hao, the chief of the army, sighed at this time and said: "Now our Heile Royal Army has been completely defeated on other fronts. Lindan City is the key to the survival of our Heile country. According to the terrain around Heile City, as long as our Heile Royal Army If Lindan City can be defended, the Su Family Army will not be able to launch an attack on Heile City in a short period of time. In this way, we will have more time for the Heile Kingdom, so that our Heile Royal Army can arm more reserves and form More newly formed infantry regiments, as the commander-in-chief, staying in Heile City is no longer effective, and Lindan City is the place where I should stay most, which is also what Your Majesty means."

Liu Yi, the head of the new fifth legion, heard that Emperor Yu Yuan meant it, and immediately changed the subject, "Chief, the army of the Noomi Empire is really powerful. I don't know how many more troops the Noomi Empire can send into Are we fighting in Hele country?"

Army chief Luo Hao shook his head and said helplessly: "The Noomi Empire is too far away from our country of Hele after all, and it will take two months at the earliest before an infantry regiment from the army of the Noomi Empire can reach our country of Hele. .”

Liu Qi hesitated for a moment and asked, "Chief, can our Hele Kingdom hold out until the infantry regiment from the Noomi Empire arrives?"

Chief of the Army Luo Hao said with a long sigh: "We can only do our best. As for the result, it can only depend on God's arrangement."

Just as Luo Hao, the chief of the army, had just finished speaking, there was a loud commotion outside the car. Luo Hao immediately asked the driver to stop the car. When Luo Hao and Liu Qi, the head of the newly created Fifth Army, got out of the car, the two Everyone's face suddenly showed panic, and they shouted two words in unison: "Airship!"

The more than 100 behemoths that appeared in the distant sky were the airship force of the Imperial Air Force of the Tang Dynasty, which consisted of 120 medium-sized airships and forty large airships.

This time, in order to bomb the three infantry regiments of the Heller Army, 160 airships were filled with 100 kg and 200 kg aerial bombs, of which each medium-sized airship was loaded with 180 tons of aerial bombs, and each large airship was loaded with 42 tons of aerial bombs. tons of aerial bombs, and each airship is also loaded with a large number of bullets used by MG-[-] general-purpose machine guns.

Hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers of the Heller Royal Army who were marching on the plain were immediately baptized by more than 160 tons of aerial bombs. These three newly formed infantry regiments had no anti-aircraft weapons, and they used the MG-42 general-purpose machine guns installed on the airships to continuously shoot at the chaotic Helle Royal Army officers and soldiers on the ground.

After the 160 airships of the Royal Air Force of the Tang Empire left, the plains within a radius of tens of kilometers were already covered with the corpses of officers and soldiers of the Heller Royal Army, including the corpse of Luo Hao, the commander-in-chief of the Heller Army.

According to incomplete statistics, in the first performance of the airship unit of the Royal Air Force of the Tang Empire, almost 30 people were directly killed and 10,000+ were injured in the three newly formed infantry regiments of the Heller Army. Almost all of the more than 40 people scattered and fled.

The three infantry regiments newly formed by the Heile Kingdom with great difficulty from the reserves were blown up by the airship unit of the Royal Air Force of the Datang Empire without even playing a role at all.

When Emperor Yu Yuan of the Heile Kingdom learned that the three newly formed infantry regiments of the Heile Royal Army were blown up and collapsed by more than 100 airships that suddenly appeared from the Su family army, he just said a word with a pale face, "I regret it!"
