Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 296 The Great Qin Army with Many Factions
The explosion of shells outside the air-raid shelter gradually weakened, Su Yi shook his head, shook off some of the dust on his military cap and face, and then said to the other five soldiers in the air-raid shelter: "Everyone, check your weapons and prepare to fight! "

Because Su Yi brought a lot of weapons and ammunition from the world of the Han Kingdom, the officers and soldiers of the second company where Su Yi was located were all equipped with more advanced Type 89 heavy machine guns, Type 95 automatic rifles, Type 88 sniper rifles and Type 92 Type pistols, especially Type 92 pistols, each officer and soldier of the Second Company is equipped with one.

Su Yi took a 88-type sniper rifle, and the other 88-type sniper rifle was handed over to the second company soldier who was knocked out. At this time, this soldier named Ma Sibao followed Su Yi to hide in the In an air-raid shelter, Ma Sibao was a sharpshooter with outstanding marksmanship in the Erlian before.

The other three soldiers in the air-raid shelter were recruits. Each of them held a Type 95 automatic rifle in their hands, a Type 92 pistol and several magazines on their waists, and an armed belt made of cloth on their bodies. bullet.

The Great Qin Army in this world is equipped with a standard rifle that is a manual rifle, with a built-in magazine that can hold five bullets. It needs to be loaded manually, and the bolt is pulled after firing one bullet. The 95 type that Su Yi brought over The automatic rifle is equipped with 75 rounds of detachable magazines and 95 rounds of detachable drums. As long as the trigger is pressed all the time, the bullets can be fired continuously. The 95-type automatic rifle is also equipped with a scope and night vision. In terms of performance, the Type [-] automatic rifle completely exploded the manual rifle equipped by the Qin Army.

You must know that even the army of the ice lion country, which ranks first in the world, has a considerable number of troops equipped with manual rifles. Only the elite army troops of the ice lion country are all equipped with semi-automatic rifles, and the elite army troops of the ice lion country, They are all composed of Lion Clan people. In the army of the Ice Lion Kingdom, there are also a large number of other alien races and humans.

The bullets of semi-automatic rifles can be automatically loaded and unloaded. The mechanical principle is more complicated than that of manual rifles, but there are still obvious disadvantages, that is, you can only press the trigger to fire one bullet, and the performance in all aspects is far inferior to that of Type 95 automatic rifles.

A recruit in the air-raid shelter asked Su Yi nervously: "Company commander, are the enemies coming up?"

Su Yi looked at the recruit, who was only sixteen or seventeen years old, nodded slightly and said, "After the enemy's shelling is completely over, the enemy's infantry should charge. Boy, are you afraid? What's your name? Name? How old is this year?"

"Company commander, I...my name is Feng Hao, I am 16 years old, and I am already in the first year of high school. I...I am not afraid. I want to avenge my elder brother and second brother. Both my elder brother and second brother died in resisting the ice lion. On the battlefield of the Chinese army!" Although Feng Hao said he was not afraid, his voice trembled a little.

Su Yi had a look of helplessness on his face at this time. According to the memory in his mind, in the previous six months of war, the army of the Great Qin State suffered a huge loss. Insufficient situation.

This time the army of the Ice Lion Kingdom reached Yueyang City, the capital of the Great Qin Kingdom. Although the Great Qin Kingdom gathered 21 troops to defend Yueyang City, most of these 21 troops participated in the previous battle against the Ice Lion Kingdom army. In the battle, the lost troops have not been replenished. As a result, the 21 armies have assembled less than 60 troops.

According to the establishment of the Great Qin Army, an army has three divisions and many troops directly under the military headquarters, which add up to about 5 people, and if the 21 armies are fully formed, the total strength should be at least more than one million, but Now there are less than 60 people.

In order to seize the capital of the Great Qin State in one fell swoop this time, the Ice Lion Country has mobilized more than 80 army troops and more than [-] fighter planes. You must know that the combat effectiveness of the Ice Lion Country Army is already higher than that of the Great Qin State. The country has a large army, and the Daqin Air Force has been completely lost in previous wars, and it is no longer able to provide air support for the defenders of Yueyang City.

In order to make up for the shortage of Yueyang City's defenders, the Great Qin Army had no choice but to recruit a large number of young men from Yueyang City to join the army. However, because the army of the Ice Lion Kingdom was already approaching the city, these recruits who joined the Great Qin Army did not undergo much training at all. He was sent to the frontline battlefield, and now most of Su Yi's subordinates are recruits without any battlefield experience.

At this time, another recruit in the air-raid shelter asked Su Yi: "Company Commander, can we still hold Yueyang City this time? I heard that the president and senior government officials have already evacuated Yueyang City."

After the world entered the era of hot weapons from the era of cold weapons, some orcs who were born with advantages in physique and strength no longer had the absolute upper hand against humans on the battlefield. A civil war broke out that lasted nearly 20 years. Although the victor finally overthrew the monarchy of the Great Qin State and realized a seemingly democratic presidential system, it caused the Great Qin State to miss many opportunities to make the country stronger. Due to the civil war, the army of the Great Qin State had multiple factions.

This situation of numerous factions has existed in the army of the Great Qin State for 200 years. On the surface, all the troops of the Great Qin State obey the orders of the Ministry of National Defense of the Great Qin State. In fact, the armies of each faction only obey the leaders of each faction. If the Ministry of National Defense wants to mobilize troops, it cannot bypass the leaders and high-level leaders of various factions.

Due to the strife and annexation among the various factions, the combat effectiveness of the Great Qin army was inevitably weakened. In addition, after the implementation of the presidential democracy in the Great Qin State, the corruption of government departments was serious, which seriously restricted the economy and development of the Great Qin State. With the development of the military, the Qin State, which has the largest population in the world, can only rank in the middle and lower reaches of the countries in the world in terms of comprehensive strength.

The Great Qin State is now in a state of embarrassment by the Ice Lion State, which has a lot to do with the factions in the Great Qin State Army. Fortunately, when the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed, the various factions of the Great Qin State Army are still able to fight. Sincerely united, the 21 armies of the Great Qin Army gathered in the capital Yueyang City now come from [-] major factions of the military.

Compared with the military of the Great Qin State, the senior officials of the Great Qin State's government, when faced with the invasion of the Ice Lion Country, behaved quite unbearably. Many local government officials even directly surrendered to the ice lion country. Lion country, if it weren't for the toughness of the Great Qin country's military, maybe the current president of the Great Qin country has already begged for peace from the ice lion country.

Su Yi pondered for a while and said to the recruit who asked if he could defend Yueyang City: "Yueyang City is the capital of our Great Qin State, no matter whether the president and senior government officials are still in Yueyang City, even if it is for the 400 million people in Yueyang City Common people, we have to do our best to stop the army of the Ice Lion Kingdom. You must have seen the news in the newspapers that the soldiers of the Ice Lion Kingdom slaughtered the civilians of our Great Qin Kingdom. There are our wives, children, and children in Yueyang City. "

The military discipline of the Ice Lion Kingdom army is very poor, especially the army composed entirely of lion tribesmen. After entering the territory of the Great Qin Kingdom, they burned, killed and looted all the way, and even massacred prisoners of war and civilians.

At this time, Ma Sibao, who was holding an 88-style sniper rifle, said through gritted teeth: "The lion tribe people in the ice lion country are simply animals. I heard that Dongping City, with a population of 60, was killed by those lion tribe people. Less than [-], even infants who are still in their infancy, we must not let those beasts of the lion clan occupy our capital!"

The Great Qin State is divided into 28 provinces and one municipality directly under the central government according to the administrative divisions. Dongping City is the capital of Song'an Province. Today, Song'an Province, which borders the Ice Lion Country, has been completely occupied by the Ice Lion Country's army.

As soon as Ma Sibao's words fell, the sound of shell explosions outside the air-raid shelter disappeared completely, and Su Yi hurriedly shouted: "Quick! Enter the position!"

After Su Yi entered the trench, he came to a sniper position he had chosen before, and then looked into the distance through the scope, and soon some Ice Lion Army soldiers in black uniforms appeared in the scope. In sight.

The military uniform of the Ice Lion Army is black, while that of the Great Qin Army is sky blue.

The soldiers of the Ice Lion Army who charged soon approached about 200 meters away from the first trench. At this time, Su Yi clearly saw these lion soldiers with lion ears from the scope. More than 1.9 meters, it looks very burly. If these lion soldiers are allowed to rush into the trenches and start hand-to-hand combat, then the soldiers of the Great Qin Kingdom must suffer.

Su Yi took aim at a lion tribe man who looked like an officer, and pulled the trigger of the sniper rifle. Then Su Yi saw in the scope that the lion tribe man was shot in the head by himself, and fell to the ground with a plop .

Immediately afterwards, Su Yi shouted loudly: "Hit! Hit me hard!"

As soon as Su Yi finished speaking, the six 89-type heavy machine guns on the ground, the three light machine guns originally equipped by the second company, and more than 20 95-type automatic rifles poured out countless weapons at the charging lion soldiers in an instant. The bullets knocked down the dozen or so lion tribe soldiers in the front at once.

However, shortly after Su Yi and the others opened fire, the mortars and infantry artillery of the Ice Lion Army also began to bombard Su Yi and their positions suppressively, so that Su Yi and the others could only bear the shells exploding around them, On the one hand, they stubbornly blocked the charge of the Lion Clan soldiers.

During the fierce battle, Su Yi took the time to go back to the world of the Han Kingdom, and brought back three Chinese Type 89 60mm mortars and three hundred rounds of 60mm mortar shells.

The Chinese Type 89 60mm mortar has a range of 700 meters. Su Yi used these three mortars to attack a forward artillery position of the Ice Lion Army mortar and infantry artillery nearly 2000 meters away. The sneak attack almost completed the destruction of this forward artillery position of the Ice Lion Army, which relieved a lot of pressure on the second company's defense.

The 89-type heavy machine gun can be used as an anti-aircraft machine gun after it is installed on a tripod. Therefore, when a bomber from the Ice Lion National Air Force flew over the second company's position, several 89-type heavy machine guns from the second company were killed immediately. Two were shot down.

Unfortunately, at noon on December 2537, 21 in the divine calendar, Su Yi had to be ordered to take the second company to abandon the position due to the breakthrough of the friendly army's position. At this time, the entire second company, including Su Yi, only had [-] personal.

On the evening of December [-]th, the Qin Army's line of defense on the front line of Phoenix Mountain had completely collapsed, and a large number of rout troops retreated to Yueyang City, and Phoenix Mountain was the last barrier to the north of Yueyang City. After Phoenix Mountain fell, the Ice Lion The country's army can directly enter the urban area of ​​Yueyang City. From Phoenix Mountain to the urban area of ​​Yueyang City, there is no danger to defend.

The army of the Ice Lions attacked Yueyang City this time, adopting the tactic of encircling three squares and one. The 80 army troops were divided into three groups, and launched a fierce attack on Yueyang City from the east, west, and north of Yueyang City.

Although the defense lines to the east and west of Yueyang City are still standing firm, because the defense line of Phoenix Mountain in the north was breached by the Ice Lion Army, the entire perimeter defense line of Yueyang City has no effect.

At around 20:[-] p.m. on December [-]th, in a meeting room of the Ministry of National Defense Building in Yueyang City, Liu Fuchen, Minister of National Defense of the Great Qin State, said in a deep voice to twelve senior military officials: "Now the front line of Phoenix Mountain has fallen, Next, we can only start a street battle with the Ice Lion Army in Yueyang City, but the more than [-] armies gathered in Yueyang City can't all be trapped in Yueyang City, do you think those troops should stay and stick to Yueyang City?"

There are currently thirteen major factions in the Great Qin Army. Each of these twelve high-level military officers represents a major faction, and the Minister of Defense Liu Fuchen is the head of the Liu family, the largest faction in the Great Qin Army. After the Qin State abolished the monarchy, the Liu family where Liu Fuchen belonged has been serving as the Minister of Defense of the Great Qin State, which is equivalent to turning the position of Minister of Defense into hereditary. At this time, there are Liu family members in the Yueyang City area. of the four armies.

Deputy Minister of National Defense Zhao Zeling frowned and said, "Even if the 22th Army, 400th Army, and 300nd Army of our Zhao family are allowed to stay and fight in the street, but Yueyang City has a population of 300 million, which is the most populous city in our Great Qin State. , even if some people have already evacuated from Yueyang City, the population in the urban area is still at least [-] million, once there is street fighting in the urban area of ​​Yueyang City, what will the more than [-] million people do?"

The Zhao family, where the Deputy Minister of National Defense Zhao Zeling belongs, is a big faction second only to the Liu family in the Qin army. Su Yi's No.16 army is completely controlled by the faction of the Zhao family. .

Before the army of the Ice Lion Kingdom attacked Yueyang City, the military of the Great Qin Kingdom began to evacuate the civilians in Yueyang City in a planned way, but the army of the Ice Lion Kingdom attacked too fast. Less than a million civilians were evacuated.
