Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 307
Not to mention that President Cai Yongchang did not believe that Su Yi could completely annihilate a mechanized infantry division of the Ice Lion Army with a single infantry regiment. The people of the Great Qin State and even the officers and soldiers of the Great Qin Army who heard the news thought that this was another government attack. And the unrealistic advocacy of the military.

After the army of the Ice Lion Kingdom invaded the Great Qin State, the newspapers of the Great Qin State repeatedly advocated that the Great Qin Army had won one victory after another. Yueyang City, the capital of the Great Qin Kingdom, is now in danger.

Vice President Li Qingwei said with a wry smile: "I really hope that the 48th Division's temporary formation of an independent group is true. Since the ice lion country invaded, bad news has come one after another. Now even Yueyang City is in danger. If it continues like this, Our Great Qin Kingdom is about to perish."

President Cai Yongchang sighed and said: "Even if we can really annihilate one garrison infantry division of the Ice Lion Army? Our Great Qin State has now wiped out ten garrison infantry divisions or even twenty garrison infantry divisions of the Ice Lion Army. Master, I can’t shake the foundation of the ice lion country’s army. I still feel that we should start truce negotiations with the ice lion country as soon as possible. It's no longer possible to fight, but it's a pity that all factions in the military are against negotiating peace with the Ice Lion Kingdom."

President Cai Yongchang expressed his wish to negotiate a truce with the Ice Lion Nation a few months ago, but President Cai Yongchang's proposal was strongly opposed by the Daqin military.

The various factions of the Great Qin military are very clear that the Ice Lion Kingdom has deliberately launched the invasion of the Great Qin Kingdom this time, and they will never stop easily, and they must get enough benefits.

The Daqin military tested the bottom line of the Ice Lion Nation in private through some channels, and then resolutely opposed the peace negotiation. thought.

Vice President Li Qingwei said sadly: "But the conditions of the Ice Lion Country are too harsh. A few months ago, we asked the Great Qin Country to cede 600 million square kilometers of land. If the truce negotiations are held now, the conditions of the Ice Lion Country may be even more stringent. .”

In addition to the military testing the bottom line of the Ice Lion Country in private, President Cai Yongchang also secretly sent people to contact the Ice Lion Country. As a result, the Ice Lion Country opened its mouth and demanded that the Great Qin Kingdom must cede half of the land. The bottom line is the same.

President Cai Yongchang waved his hand and said: "At the beginning, the Ice Lion Country was just asking for a lot of money. If we started negotiations, our Great Qin Kingdom would never pay for 600 million square kilometers of land. As a result, due to the opposition of the military, our Great Qin Kingdom is currently At least more than 500 million square kilometers of land have fallen, and even Yueyang City is almost lost."

Vice President Li Qingwei hesitated for a moment and asked, "President, if the truce negotiations with the Ice Lion Country are now underway, will the war be ended according to the conditions previously offered by the Ice Lion Country?"

President Cai Yongchang shook his head and said: "Don't think about it too much. Without the consent of the military, it is impossible for our government to negotiate with the Ice Lion Country alone. Let's talk about everything after the defense of Yueyang City is over! Maybe the fall of Yueyang City Only then will the leaders of those factions in the military understand that our Great Qin Kingdom has already stood on the edge of a cliff!"

The Ice Lion Country has been silent about the annihilation of its 25th Garrison Infantry Division and has not admitted it.

Marshal Kayano, the commander-in-chief of the Ice Lion Army who attacked Yueyang City, learned that the 25th Garrison Infantry Division was in danger of being wiped out, and immediately dispatched two garrison infantry divisions to support the 25th Garrison Infantry Division. Before the garrison infantry division entered the mountainous area of ​​Mount Phoenix, the farewell telegram from the commander of the 25th garrison infantry division was sent to Marshal Kayano.

After Marshal Kayano received the farewell telegram from the commander of the 25th Garrison Infantry Division, he wished to transfer all the Ice Lion Army troops in the three directions of Yueyang City City to the mountainous area of ​​Phoenix Mountain to avenge the 25th Garrison Infantry Division.

However, the battle-tested Marshal Kayano knew that he could not act impulsively, and immediately ordered the two garrison infantry divisions that were about to enter the Phoenix Mountain area to stop advancing and retreat towards the urban area of ​​Yueyang City.

At the same time, Marshal Kayano dispatched the No.11 Imperial Guard mechanized infantry division of the Ice Lion Kingdom from the northern line of Yueyang City, and headed for the vicinity of Phoenix Mountain. He planned to use this mechanized infantry division to guard against the elite Qin army in the Phoenix Mountain area. force.

In the heart of Marshal Kayano, there is nothing more important than the capture of Yueyang City. As for the elite troops of the Great Qin Army in the Phoenix Mountain area, Marshal Kayano plans to mobilize troops after conquering Yueyang City To carry out the siege.

In the early morning of December 2537, [-] in the divine calendar, more than [-] people dressed as civilians were hurrying forward in the mountains of Phoenix Mountain.

In fact, this team is the person sent by Yueyang City to contact the temporary independent regiment of the 48th Division, or to confirm whether the temporary independent regiment of the 48th Division really wiped out the 25th Garrison Infantry Division of the Ice Lion Army.

In order to be able to successfully contact the 48th Division to temporarily form an independent regiment, Yueyang City dispatched more than a dozen elite teams in one go, but in the end, only this one was left to successfully enter the mountainous area of ​​Phoenix Mountain, and this team was on the way out. At that time, there were more than 70 people. On the way from Yueyang City to Phoenix Mountain, this team had lost more than [-] people.

The leading officer looked back at the tired-looking soldiers and the three male reporters behind him, and ordered in a deep voice, "Everyone stay where they are, Erkui and Glasses, you two go ahead and scout."

As soon as the officer finished speaking, more than a dozen soldiers and three reporters sat down on the ground. Only two strong soldiers passed the speaking officer with their rifles and continued to walk deep into the dense forest.

The officer walked up to a male reporter and asked, "Reporter Liu, how are you doing? Is your body still able to take it?"

Reporter Liu Jian gasped and said, "It's okay, Company Commander Wu, we should be safe now, right?"

The leading officer, Wu Qingyu, hesitated for a moment and said: "Although we have already entered the mountainous area of ​​Phoenix Mountain, we don't know the current situation of Phoenix Mountain. We don't know if we will encounter the army of the Ice Lion Kingdom."

Reporter Liu Jian immediately took the rifle behind his back in his hand, "The worst thing we can do is to run into the Ice Lion Army, but we finally entered Phoenix Mountain. It is true that the code is electrified, so I will feel at ease even if I die.”

After the battle to defend Yueyang City began, several influential newspapers in Yueyang City did not evacuate from Yueyang City, but continued to publish newspapers every day to boost the morale of the soldiers and civilians in Yueyang City.

This time, Vice Minister of National Defense Zhao Zeling sent more than a dozen elite teams to try to enter the mountainous area of ​​Phoenix Mountain to contact the 48th Division to form an independent regiment temporarily. In order to obtain first-hand news, several newspapers sent several reporters to each team.

The team led by Wu Qingyu originally consisted of five reporters. Although Wu Qingyu tried his best to protect the reporters accompanying the team, two reporters were killed in the battle with the Ice Lion Army.

Wu Qingyu sighed and said: "I also hope that the clear code power-on of the 48th Division's temporary independent regiment is true, but with the strength of an infantry regiment, it is really difficult to wipe out a garrison infantry division of the Ice Lion Army. Make people believe."

Just as Wu Qingyu finished speaking, a loud voice suddenly came, "Brother, our independent regiment is not an ordinary infantry regiment!"

The sound made Wu Qingyu, reporter Liu Jian and others all pick up their guns and point in the direction of the sound.

Immediately after that, more than [-] heavily armed soldiers appeared, and the two soldiers under Wu Qingyu's command who went to reconnaissance just now were disarmed by these soldiers.

When Wu Qingyu saw this group of soldiers appearing suddenly, he couldn't help showing joy instead of panic, because these soldiers were wearing the uniforms of the Great Qin Army, "Are you the temporary independent regiment of the 48th Division? Those who broke out from the encirclement of Yueyang City were ordered to get in touch with the 48th Division's temporary independent regiment."

The group of soldiers who appeared were indeed members of the 48th Division's temporary independent regiment, a small team of the independent regiment's reconnaissance battalion.

After the two sides confirmed their identities, Wu Qingyu's team was quickly taken to the camp of the Independence Regiment in the Phoenix Mountain area.

The scene in the camp of the independent group immediately made Wu Qingyu, reporter Liu Jian and others think that they were dreaming. Although they didn't know how many people there were in the independent group, they only saw thousands of people. The officers and soldiers of the regiment were well-organized and well-armed, and it was impossible to see that the independent regiment was composed of a group of broken soldiers.

When Wu Qingyu, reporter Liu Jian and the others learned that the temporary independent regiment of the 48th Division had more than 8000 troops, everyone was shocked. They had never heard of an infantry regiment with more than 8000 soldiers.

Reporter Liu Jian and two other reporters also interviewed Su Yi, and learned clearly the process of the 48th Division's temporary independent regiment from its formation to its complete annihilation of the 25th Garrison Infantry Division of the Ice Lion Army.

After seeing more than 25 prisoners of war captured alive by the 1000th Garrison Infantry Division of the Ice Lion Army, Wu Qingyu and reporter Liu Jian all showed ecstasy on their faces, and immediately sent a report to Yueyang City by radio.

Seeing the people sent by Yueyang City, Sun Guodong, the deputy head of the regiment, said to Su Yi with some concern: "Regiment commander, plus the rout of soldiers gathered in Phoenix Mountain in the past two days, the total strength of our 48th Independent Regiment has exceeded With 8000 people, will the superiors have any thoughts about our independent regiment?"

Su Yi said indifferently: "Now is the critical period of the battle to defend Yueyang City. Zhao Zeling, the deputy minister of defense who is staying in Yueyang City, will not kill a chicken to get an egg."

In an office of the Ministry of National Defense Building in Yueyang City, No.16 Army Commander He Minghuan excitedly said to Zhao Zeling, Deputy Minister of National Defense: "Minister, it is true! The temporary independent regiment of the 48th Division has really wiped out all of them." The 25th Garrison Infantry Division of the Ice Lion Army, and not only that, the temporary independent regiment of the 48th Division has wiped out the 156th Garrison Infantry Division of the Ice Lion Army, which is an unprecedented victory!"

Deputy Minister of National Defense Zhao Zeling was also very excited at this time, "I never thought that a temporary independent regiment composed of rout soldiers could create such a miracle. That man named Su Yi is definitely a A great talent, Su Yi was immediately promoted to major general, and the temporary independent regiment of the 48th division was immediately expanded into a temporary independent division, directly under the temporary general headquarters of Yueyang City."

Zhao Zeling's words made He Minghuan, the commander of the No.16 Army, feel a little envious of Su Yi. You must know that He Minghuan has been in the army for almost 30 years before he reached his current position. , Not only the military position became a division commander, but the military rank was directly promoted to major general.

He Minghuan hesitated for a moment and said: "Minister, did you mention it too quickly? After all, Su Yi was only a regimental commander before, and his promotion to a major general needs to be approved by the high-level meeting of the Ministry of National Defense."

The so-called high-level meeting of the Ministry of National Defense refers to the meeting held by senior officials of the thirteen factions of the Ministry of National Defense.

After all, matters such as promotion to military rank cannot be decided by each faction at will, otherwise there would be countless generals in the Qin army.

Deputy Minister of National Defense Zhao Zeling said in a loud voice: "In extraordinary times, we can't stick to the rules. Su Yi has made such great military exploits. It is not enough to commend his achievements if he is not promoted to major general division commander. Presumably the other twelve factions will not object, and Su Yi Not counting the direct descendants of our Zhao family, promoting him to major general division commander also has the intention of wooing him."

He Minghuan nodded slightly and said: "It's still the Minister who has considered everything carefully. He really should win over Su Yi. With a group of defeated soldiers, he can achieve such a great military exploit. It seems that our Zhao family will have another strong general." gone."

Zhao Zeling then pondered for a while and asked He Minghuan: "According to what Su Yi meant, after a few days of preparation, he would lead the troops to break through the block of the Ice Lion Army, enter the urban area of ​​Yueyang City, and participate in the battle to defend Yueyang City. What do you think of Su Yi? What do you think?"

No.16 Army Commander He Minghuan immediately said: "The area between Phoenix Mountain and the urban area of ​​Yueyang City is plain terrain. Once Su Yi leads the troops out of Phoenix Mountain, he will almost certainly be attacked by tanks and armored vehicles from the Ice Lion Kingdom. I think It is best to let Su Yi lead the troops to stay in Phoenix Mountain, with Su Yi's troops in Phoenix Mountain, at least some of the troops of the Ice Lion Army can be restrained."

Deputy Minister of National Defense Zhao Zeling nodded and said: "I think so too. It is best for Su Yi to lead the independent division and stay in the mountainous area of ​​Phoenix Mountain, threatening the rear of the Ice Lion Army on the northern line."

Zhao Zeling and He Minghuan didn't know that the troops under Su Yi's command were equipped with individual anti-tank missiles that far surpassed the technological level of this era. Otherwise, Su Yi wouldn't have had such confidence to lead the troops to break through the blocking of the Ice Lion Army. Enter the urban area of ​​the capital, Yueyang City.
