Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 299 Temporary Independent Regiment

After the army of the Ice Lion Kingdom conquered the phoenix of the Great Qin Kingdom, they did not immediately attack Yueyang City, the capital of the Great Qin Kingdom, and did not even send troops to pursue the defeated Great Qin Army. Su Yi in the market town left precious time for one night. Xinji Town is a small town where more than 2000 seriously injured people are located.

Since Xinji Town is the only way from Phoenix Mountain to Yueyang City, the capital of the Great Qin Kingdom, from 300 o'clock in the evening on December 16th to the early morning of the next day, Su Yi gathered up and was willing to stick to Xinji Town There are more than [-] routs, and most of these routs come from the No.[-] Army and the Fifth Army.

Su Yi even met Yu Hongtu, the commander of the 16th Division of the No.48 Army who was slightly injured. Seeing that Su Yi, the acting company commander of the 48th Division, wanted to gather a group of remnants to defend Xinji Town, Yu Hongtu couldn't help smiling wryly at Su Yi. Said: "Although the Ministry of National Defense issued an order for our No.16 Army to block the Ice Lion Army along the way from Phoenix Mountain to Yueyang City, in order to buy more time for the people of Yueyang City to evacuate, but from Phoenix The mountain goes all the way to Yueyang City. It can be said that there is no danger to defend. I will not hide it from you. The army commander and our three division commanders have reached an agreement in secret. Our No. 16 Army will not gather the army before returning to Yueyang City. "

Yu Hongtu's meaning is very clear. No.16 Army's high-level executives are not prepared to sacrifice the entire No.16 Army to complete the task of blocking the Ice Lion Army. The top management is also unwilling to implement.

Previously on the front line of Phoenix Mountain, the Ministry of National Defense of the Great Qin State had gathered a total of six armies, and these six armies were relatively well-organized, with a total strength of more than 23, but only in Phoenix Mountain The front line persisted for about seven days before the entire line collapsed. You must know that due to the terrain of Phoenix Mountain, the most powerful armored force in the Ice Lion Army almost did not play any role in the battle to attack the front line of Phoenix Mountain.

The distance between Phoenix Mountain and Yueyang City can be said to be flat. In this way, it will be the turn of the armored troops of the Ice Lion Kingdom to perform. If the No.16 Army and the Fifth Army really carry out the order of the Ministry of National Defense, they will inevitably fall In the background of performing for the armored troops of the Ice Lion Kingdom, perhaps these two armies can be removed from the establishment of the Great Qin Army after this battle.

Although the No. 16 Army belongs to the faction of the Zhao family where Zhao Zeling, the deputy minister of national defense, the commander of the No. 16 army and the division commanders of the following three divisions are not the children of the Zhao family. The status and the right to speak are entirely because they directly control the military power in their hands. Once the military power is gone, the names of the army commanders and division commanders on their heads will be worthless. The main reason for the ministry order.

Su Yi sighed and said to Hongtu: "Teacher, even if I don't want to defend now, what should I do with the more than 3000 seriously injured people left in this town? Are they just left here to die?"

After Su Yi decided to stick to Xinji Town, several field hospitals from other troops retreated to Xinji Town, and the number of seriously injured people in Xinji Town who could not walk on their own suddenly broke through to more than 3000.

Yu Hongtu, the head of the 48th Division, frowned slightly, "But even if you stay in this small town with hundreds of families, you won't be able to change the fate of these seriously injured people. Instead, you'll get yourself involved."

Su Yi shrugged his shoulders and said, "Just like what Company Commander He from the 46th Division said, at least I'll stay. At the last moment, I can send those seriously injured brothers away so that they won't fall into the hands of the Ice Lion Army." tortured."

Yu Hongtu opened his mouth, and instead of persuading Su Yi to follow him to Yueyang City, he patted Su Yi's shoulder vigorously with his uninjured left hand, "Company Commander Su, you are doing well, since you If you insist on this, I, as the division commander, will not say anything more. Now I appoint you as the commander of the temporary independent regiment of the 48th Division. I can do so much for you."

Yu Hongtu, the commander of the 48th Division, did not stay in Xinji Town in the end. He became a hero with Su Yi. , quickly left Xinji Town, and continued to retreat to Yueyang City.

From the company commander to the regiment commander, the deputy battalion commander, the battalion commander and the deputy regiment commander were spanned in between. They are all emperors, and a small group leader is not in Su Yi's eyes at all.

However, after Su Yi became the head of the regiment, he clarified his leadership position among the more than 3000 defeated soldiers in Xinji Town. After all, until the early morning of December [-], among the more than [-] defeated soldiers in Xinji Town, except Su Yi , the few people with the highest military ranks are only company commanders, but among the more than [-] seriously wounded, there is a deputy commander of the Fifth Army, but this deputy commander is seriously injured and has been in a coma.

There are about 30 to 48 households in the entire Xinji Town, and almost all the people fled all the way to Yueyang City with the defeated soldiers of several armies. Only thirty or so young men stayed and expressed their willingness to defend with the army. Homeland, Su Yi immediately organized these [-] people into the temporary independent regiment of the [-]th Division that he had just established.

More than 100 defeated soldiers were reorganized by Su Yi into twelve infantry companies, one guard company, three air defense companies, three artillery companies, and one logistics company. Each company had about [-] people. Due to the lack of officers, plus It is convenient for Su Yi to control, so the independent regiment did not set up a battalion-level unit, and the twenty companies were under the direct command of Su Yi.

In order to strengthen the firepower of the entire Independence Regiment, Su Yi took more than 95 carriages out for two more rounds at night, and finally made every infantry company equipped with Type 92 automatic rifles and Type 89 pistols. The company also formed a reinforced platoon with twelve Type [-] heavy machine guns, and several combat teams equipped with individual anti-tank missiles.

Each air defense company is equipped with twelve Browning M2 anti-aircraft machine guns, twelve Oerlikon 20mm quadruple anti-aircraft guns and twelve Bofors 40mm dual anti-aircraft guns, as well as a number of individual anti-aircraft guns. Air defense missiles.

Each artillery company is equipped with twelve 57mm anti-aircraft guns, 24 60mm mortars and twelve 100mm mortars.

The soldiers of the guard company are equipped with 88 Type 95 sniper rifles, that is, 92 sniper teams have been established. In addition, several special operations teams have been formed, equipped with Type 88 automatic rifles, Type 60 pistols, Type [-] sniper rifles, [-]mm mortars and individual anti-tank missiles.

Since the height of the Stargate is two meters and the width is only one meter, Su Yi cannot transport many large weapons from the world of the Tang Empire or the Han Kingdom, otherwise Su Yi would send dozens of Type 69 main battle The tanks moved to the world on the side of the Great Qin Kingdom, and dozens of F-16 fighter jets were brought in. At that time, let alone defending Xinji Town, it may even completely disintegrate the Ice Lion Army's attack on the capital of the Great Qin Kingdom. attack.

The main function of the logistics company is to deliver ammunition and food to each combat company, and to take care of some seriously wounded.

The more than 3000 seriously wounded who remained in Xinji Town were also reorganized into several combat teams by Su Yi, and the seriously wounded who were still conscious were equipped with rifles and grenades, and some of them were even carried directly to the forefront. Since Xinji Town has almost become a Jedi, as long as these seriously wounded people have a breath, they must persist in fighting the Ice Lion Country.

In order to deceive others, Su Yi set up a regiment headquarters in Xinji Town, and used a house with a large cellar to change it into an ammunition depot for the regiment headquarters. If necessary, Su Yi could directly open the star gate in the cellar, from the Great Tang Empire. Or the world of the Han Kingdom, move over more weapons and ammunition.

Xinji Town is only about ten kilometers away from the front line of Phoenix Mountain. At around 2537:5000 a.m. on December [-], [-] in the divine calendar, a vanguard unit of the Ice Lion Army came from outside Xinji Town, belonging to the No. A mechanized infantry regiment of the Seventh Division, the Imperial Guard Army of the Ice Lion Kingdom, the largest organization is at the division level, but each division of the Imperial Guard Army of the Ice Lion Country has more than [-] people, and each division of the Great Qin Kingdom, The full number is only about [-] people.

The mechanized infantry regiment of the Seventh Division of the Ice Lion National Guard has a strength of more than 36 people, 122 tanks, nearly [-] armored vehicles, and twelve [-]mm self-propelled howitzers.

The head of this mechanized infantry regiment saw the positions outside Xinji Town, and said to a deputy head beside him without surprise but joy: "Great! I thought our regiment would not be able to win any battles all the way to Yueyang City." Fighting, I didn't expect the army of the Great Qin State to deploy an army in this small town, which happened to make a fortune for our regiment, and our regiment did not become a vanguard for nothing."

The deputy head hesitated for a moment and said, "Should I contact the Air Force first to launch a round of bombing against the Daqin Army in this town?"

The head of the Mechanized Infantry Regiment waved his hand, "How many Great Qin Army troops can a small town have? Our regiment is enough to eat up this enemy's troops. I don't want to give some of the credit to the Air Force."

The mechanized infantry regiment of the 122th Division of the Imperial Guards of the Ice Lions launched an attack on Xinji Town as soon as it arrived outside Xinji Town. First, the twelve [-]mm self-propelled howitzers of this mechanized infantry regiment attacked the outer periphery of Xinji Town in the north. The position was heavily bombarded.

Through the binoculars, Su Yi saw the frontier position in the north of Xinji Town, which was covered by bombs. He couldn't help sighing and said to Sun Guodong and He Zhihong beside him: "It's really a disadvantage for us not to have large-caliber artillery. If the Ice Lion Army keeps using large-caliber If the artillery bombards, our town will be directly razed to the ground."

The two company commanders, Sun Guodong and He Zhihong, are now appointed by Su Yi as the deputy heads of the 48th Division Independent Regiment to assist Su Yi in directing the entire independent regiment to defend Xinji Town.

He Zhihong said in a deep voice at this time: "Regimental Commander, the three special operations teams of the guard company have been lurking outside Xinji Town. They are the only existence in our independent regiment that can pose a threat to the enemy's artillery."

Su Yi gritted his teeth and said: "Immediately contact the three special operations teams of the guard company and ask them to destroy the enemy's large-caliber artillery for us at all costs."

Su Yi also brought a lot of high-power walkie-talkies from the world of the Han Kingdom, which allowed Su Yi to issue orders directly to each company, and even to each squad under the company's jurisdiction. Each special operations team is equipped with two or three high-power radio walkie-talkies.

Before Su Yi's order was conveyed, a special operations team of the guard company had already launched an attack on the 122mm self-propelled howitzer of the mechanized infantry regiment of the seventh division of the Ice Lion National Guard Army, and used mortars and energy The sniper rifle that fired armor-piercing bullets quickly destroyed two 122mm self-propelled howitzers. However, under the siege of a large number of soldiers from the Ice Lion Kingdom, they had to choose to retreat while fighting.

Due to this attack, the enemy strengthened the guard force of the remaining ten 122mm self-propelled howitzers, so that the other two special operations teams of the guard company could not find any action before the enemy's armored forces charged the forward position north of Xinji Town. Opportunity.

The head of the mechanized infantry regiment of the Seventh Division of the Ice Lion National Guard, in order to conquer Xinji Town in one fell swoop, after launching a suppressive bombardment with 122mm self-propelled howitzers, he dispatched two-thirds of his tanks and Half of the armored vehicles, as well as more than [-] infantry, aggressively pressed towards the forward position in the north of Xinji Town.

"Boom—" A tank of the Ice Lion Army was destroyed by an armor-piercing projectile fired by a 300mm anti-aircraft gun about 57 meters away from the forward position in the north of Xinji Town.

The tanks equipped by the Imperial Guards of the Ice Lion Kingdom are mainly medium tanks called Silver Lions. The 36 tanks of the mechanized infantry regiment of the Seventh Division of the Imperial Guards are all Silver Lion medium tanks.

The total weight of the Silver Lion medium tank is only 57 tons, and the armor of the front turret is only [-]mm. It cannot resist the [-]mm armor-piercing bullet at all. What's more, this armor-piercing bullet is produced by the Han Kingdom. It is far more powerful than the same caliber in this time and space. Armor-piercing bullets are bigger.

A total of 24 Silver Lion medium tanks launched the charge. As a result, they were destroyed by the 57mm anti-aircraft guns of the Independent Regiment before approaching the forward position in the north of Xinji Town. At the same time, more than a dozen armored vehicles were also destroyed by 57 The millimeter anti-aircraft gun was blown up.

More than 800 officers and soldiers of the Imperial Guard of the Ice Lions charged with the tanks and armored vehicles, and even encountered the covering bombardment of dozens of mortars, and fell down a large area in an instant.

The head of the Mechanized Infantry Regiment of the Seventh Division of the Imperial Guards of the Ice Lions shouted anxiously: "Quick! Order the artillery to fire suppressively, and destroy the opponent's artillery! The Daqin Army in this town, unexpectedly Equipped with so many anti-aircraft guns and mortars!"
