Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 285 Sweeping the Southeast
The worries of Hu Ke, chief of the general staff of the Southeast Military Region, soon became a reality. After Su Yi's troops took over the entire Qingzhou, they immediately divided into three groups, entering Mengzhou, Yangzhou, and Hunzhou, which are adjacent to Qingzhou.

However, the several Southeast Military Region army units stationed in these three states, as well as some temporarily formed Army Reserve units, did not resist at all in accordance with the order of the Southeast Military Region Headquarters, and changed their flags one after another. Almost without firing a single shot, it took over Mengzhou, Yangzhou and Hunzhou among the sixteen states in the southeast.

After that, the army troops under Su Yi's command still did not stop, and continued to send troops to other states and counties in the southeast region. Due to Su Yi's money offensive against the senior generals of the Southeast Military Region, the mechanized infantry divisions and lightly armed infantry divisions stationed in the states and counties of the Southeast Military Region The infantry division and the armored tank brigade turned back one after another. By the end of December in 1672 in the Han calendar, most of the sixteen states in the southeast had been controlled by Su Yi.

Only Zizhou, Yingzhou, and parts of Ruzhou and Qianzhou are still controlled by the so-called Southeast Military Region Headquarters. At this time, the troops in the hands of He Jianbin and Hu Ke are only three mechanized infantry divisions. Fourteen light infantry divisions, three armored tank brigades, and a hastily assembled 22 reserve infantry divisions.

The reserve infantry division has about 5000 people and is only equipped with some light weapons and a small amount of artillery. Compared with the regular army of the Southeast Military Region, there is a very big gap in combat effectiveness.

In addition, of the three air divisions affiliated to the Southeast Military Region, one air division directly surrendered to Su Yi. The remaining two air divisions have less than fifty fighter jets that can take off into the air. Most of them are third-generation fighters.

Although the Southeast Military Region, which is the enemy of Su Yi, has not yet reached the point of desperation, the situation is already very bad. Even the senior officials of the Southeast Military Region understand in their hearts that Su Yi has seized the sixteen states in the southeast and the entire Southeast Military Region. Unstoppable, the Southeast Military Region is still insisting, mainly because He Jianbin, Commander-in-Chief of the Southeast Military Region, and Chief of Staff Hu Ke, are still negotiating terms with Su Yi.

On the night of December 1672, 29 in the Han calendar, in a small building in the headquarters of the Southeast Military Region in Zhengtai City, the capital of Zizhou, the Han Kingdom, He Jianbin, the commander-in-chief with a somewhat haggard face, sadly said to Chief of Staff Hu Ke : "The No.20 Mechanized Infantry Division stationed in Huangwu County, Dingzhou today also chose to surrender. In this way, the entire Dingzhou also fell into the hands of Su Yi. Now the entire sixteen states in the southeast, except for Zizhou and Yingzhou As well as half of Ruzhou and half of Qianzhou, other places have been occupied by the army under Su Yi's command."

Chief of Staff Hu Ke's face is also very haggard. After all, for more than a month, he has hardly received any good news. Every day, either a unit surrenders to Su Yi, or that area is captured by the army under Su Yi's command. It was captured.

Hook sighed and said: "Commander-in-Chief, as of today, our Southeast Military Region has nine mechanized infantry divisions, 38 light infantry divisions, seven armored tank brigades, and 68 reserve infantry divisions, and they have joined Su Yi's side. , and these troops have basically never fought against the army troops under Su Yi's command. The generals of these troops were all bought by Su Yi. Most of the southeast region was seized almost without bloodshed."

Commander-in-Chief He Jianbin said with a wry smile: "I never expected that the situation would turn so bad. If the 280 reserve infantry divisions mobilized in an emergency are included, the total strength of our Southeast Military Region can reach 200 million. In the end, how long will it take?" In just a short time, there were more than [-] million army troops who chose to surrender to Su Yi. It seems that I, the commander-in-chief of the Southeast Military Region, have really come to an end."

Hook then hesitated and said: "Commander-in-Chief, at this point, we can only choose to compromise with Su Yi. Even the generals of the remaining troops in our Southeast Military Region may have contact with Su Yi for the most part. After a while, maybe we won't even have the qualifications to negotiate terms with Su Yi."

Commander-in-Chief He Jianbin sighed and said, "I'm really not reconciled! Chief of Staff, what conditions did Su Yi give before?"

Hook immediately said: "Su Yi is willing to give the two of us a compensation of 2000 million Chinese yuan each, but the two of us will no longer be able to lead troops. The division commanders of each division and the brigade commander of the armored tank brigade, each They will receive [-] million Chinese Yuan, and officers at all levels below will also receive a considerable sum of money according to their ranks."

He Jianbin smiled wryly again, "Su Yi is rich and powerful. Such conditions are indeed exciting. No wonder the generals of our Southeast Military Region, and even many of our confidantes, were easily bought by Su Yi."

Chief of the General Staff Hu Ke said sadly: "Su Yi controls the air supremacy in his hands, and the combat effectiveness of his army troops is also very strong. Su Yi is holding a big stick in one hand and money in the other. The troops of our Southeast Military Region have seen large-scale attacks. Surrender is not surprising."

He Jianbin sighed slightly: "Although we still have a lot of troops in our hands, there is no point in continuing to fight hard. Besides, the vast majority of generals should not accompany the two of us all the way to the dark place." , the two of us seem to have no other choice."

The time soon came to 1673 in the Han calendar. On the first day of the new year, Su Yi received a New Year's gift package from the system, which contained a diamond treasure box.

After Su Yi opened the diamond treasure chest, eight new cards appeared in the item warehouse, one of which was a low-level booster card.

China Type 83 122mm cannon howitzer (unit price 200 million RMB, purchase limit [-] pieces per year) (upgradeable +).

China Type 66 152mm cannon howitzer (unit price 350 million RMB, purchase limit [-] pieces per year) (upgradeable +).

China's Type 89 122mm self-propelled howitzer (unit price 500 million yuan, purchase limit of [-] units per year) (upgradeable +).

China's Type 83 152mm self-propelled howitzer (unit price 700 million yuan, purchase limit of [-] units per year) (upgradeable +).

China Type 03 300mm MLRS (unit price 800 million RMB, purchase limit [-] vehicles per year) (upgradeable +).

China's Type 69 main battle tank (unit price 800 million RMB, purchase limit of [-] units per year) (upgradeable +).

American M60 main battle tank (unit price 1000 million RMB, annual purchase limit of [-] units) (upgradeable +).

The Chinese Type 83 122mm cannon howitzer has a rate of fire of seven to eight rounds per minute, a maximum range of 600 meters, and a minimum range of 750 meters. This gun is mainly used to kill and wound living forces, blast field fortifications, and support infantry and tanks. Combat operations, suppressing and annihilating shots of combat firearms and transport vehicles, can also open paths in minefields.

China's Type 66 152mm cannon howitzer, a cannon imitated from the former Soviet D-20 152mm cannon howitzer, has a firing rate of six to eight rounds per minute, a maximum range of 400 meters, and a minimum range of [-] meters, mainly used to suppress and annihilate the enemy's active forces and artillery weapons and other equipment, as well as destroy the enemy's field fortifications and destroy enemy armored targets.

The above two cannon howitzers are equipped with towed trucks by the system.

China's 89-type 122mm self-propelled howitzer is equipped with a water-cooled supercharged diesel engine with a maximum power of 450 horsepower, a road speed of 60 kilometers per hour, a maximum travel distance of 500 kilometers, and a firing speed of six to eight rounds per minute. With 40 rounds of ammunition, the maximum range is 1000 meters and the minimum range is 700 meters. The vehicle has a high speed of movement and strong cross-country capability, making it easy to accompany armored troops.

The Chinese Type 83 152mm self-propelled howitzer has a speed of 60 kilometers per hour on the road, 30 kilometers per hour under off-road conditions, and a maximum range of 420 kilometers. In addition to being equipped with a 152mm rifled gun, it is also equipped with a 12.7mm high-level dual-purpose The machine gun can be used to shoot at enemy air targets and lightly armored targets on the ground. The maximum range of the machine gun is 7000 meters, and the effective range of the air target is 600 meters. [-] meters.

The Chinese Type 03 300mm multiple rocket launcher has 12 launch tubes, which are arranged in the shape of a field in the upper, middle and lower rows. It has a self-weight of 21 tons and a load of 22 tons. It can carry 12 rockets and can travel on the road when fully loaded. The speed should reach 60 kilometers per hour, the refueling distance should not be less than 650 kilometers, and the maximum range of rockets is 150 kilometers.

The two cannon-howitzers, two self-propelled howitzers and a multiple-barreled rocket launcher released this time immediately enabled Su Yi's army to have more large-caliber artillery.

The two main battle tanks that were released were already available in the system mall in the world on the side of the Han Kingdom. With these two cards, Su Yi will be able to buy Type 69 main battle tanks and M60 main battle tanks every year in the future. , the number has increased to two thousand.

Su Yi then bought all the two cannon howitzers, two self-propelled howitzers, one multiple rocket launcher and two main battle tanks that he could buy, and planned to distribute them to his army troops as soon as possible.

The low-level expansion card that was issued was used by Su Yi on the army-type combat clones, and the monthly purchase limit was immediately increased from [-] to [-].

In this way, Su Yi can buy 16 army-type combat clones and [-] army-type primary combat biochemical humans from the system every month in terms of the army alone.

In the new year, the purchase limit of various warships and fighter jets in the system mall was updated again. Su Yi immediately bought all the warships and fighter jets that could be purchased and put them in the system's item warehouse.

Previously, because most of the southeast region was conquered, Su Yi's air force had many military airports in the southeast region, so Su Yi took all the F-16 fighter jets and F-15 fighter jets stored in the system item warehouse. It came out, so that the air force under Su Yi's command currently has more than 16 F-15 fighter jets and more than [-] F-[-] fighter jets, some of which were captured by the Dahan Air Force.

Su Yi only took out a small part of the F-14A fighter jets and F/A-18C Hornet fighter jets stored in the system item warehouse before, and supplemented the loss of twelve aircraft carriers.

在汉历1673年一月一日的一大早，把能购买的战斗机全都买了下来之后，系统的物品仓库就有了九百九十架F-14A战斗机、九百九十架F/A-18C大黄蜂战斗机、八百架F-16战斗机和八百架F-15战斗机。

Now the air power in Su Yi's hands is enough to crush the entire Dahan Air Force, so Su Yi is not going to increase the number of fourth-generation fighter jets under his command for the time being.

After buying all the warships that can be purchased, in the system's item warehouse, the number of Kitty Hawk-class aircraft carriers and Forrest-class aircraft carriers has become sixteen, and the number of Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruisers has increased to 32. The number of Soryu-class conventional submarines, Burke-class guided missile destroyers and Type 901 integrated supply ships has all increased to 64.

In the process of seizing the sixteen states in the southeast, the navy played little role, and Su Yi's air force gained air supremacy again, so the carrier-based aircraft of the twelve aircraft carriers did not perform a few missions, so Su Yi did not rush to take The warships in the system item warehouse are extracted to expand the strength of the navy under his command.

The thing that made Su Yi happy in the new year was not only getting another diamond treasure box from the system, but on the afternoon of January 1673, 22 in the Han calendar, news came from the headquarters of the Southeast Military Region in Zhengtai City, the capital of Zizhou. Commander-in-Chief He Jianbin and Chief of General Staff Hu Ke, on behalf of the remaining three mechanized infantry divisions, fourteen light infantry divisions, three armored tank brigades, twenty-two reserve infantry divisions and two air force divisions in the Southeast Military Region, announced their acceptance of Su Yi's appointment. The leader recognized Su Yi as the new commander-in-chief of the Southeast Military Region.

Shortly after He Jianbin, commander-in-chief of the Southeast Military Region, and Hu Ke, chief of staff, announced their surrender to Su Yi, the No.13 aircraft carrier fleet of the Dahan Navy stationed at Lanshan Port in Zizhou also announced that it would accept the leadership of Su Yi, the new commander-in-chief of the Southeast Military Region. .

Lanshan Port in Zizhou is the second largest military port in the Han Kingdom. After the five aircraft carrier fleets originally stationed in Lanshan Port were controlled by the clone soldiers under Su Yi, those five aircraft carrier fleets left Lanshan. Shan Port has been operating in the waters near Lanshan Port.

The Dahan Navy’s No.13 aircraft carrier fleet is composed of an aircraft carrier, a guided missile cruiser and a guided missile destroyer captured by the Gothic Navy, plus four guided missile frigates, two submarines and two supply ships of the original Dahan Navy. of.

After Su Yi sent troops to the sixteen states in the southeast, due to Su Yi's huge influence in the Han Navy and the threat of the five aircraft carrier fleets in the waters near Lanshan Port, the No.13 aircraft carrier fleet of the Han Navy immediately declared to remain neutral.

In this duel between the Southeast Military Region and Su Yi's army, the No.13 aircraft carrier fleet of the Dahan Navy has not participated in it.
