Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 311 tug of war

"Boom—boom—" The dense shells kept falling on the street that had become a ruin. Among the large amount of rubble splashed, there were also many broken limbs and arms.

The brutal street fighting has caused many places in Yueyang City to be covered with the corpses of officers and soldiers from both sides. Fortunately, the temperature in Yueyang City is very low now. During the warmest time of the day, the temperature is around minus six or seven degrees.

Otherwise, with so many corpses in Yueyang City, the armies of both sides would have no time to collect them. Perhaps the plague would have broken out in Yueyang City long ago, turning Yueyang City into a real dead city.

This piece of street located in the DC area of ​​Yueyang City has been repeatedly contested by the defenders of the Great Qin Kingdom and the army of the Ice Lion Kingdom. This time it is the turn of the Great Qin Army to become the attacking side.

When the artillery fire weakened a bit, hundreds of officers and soldiers of the Great Qin Army launched an attack from a distance, but in the ruins, many officers and soldiers of the Ice Lion Kingdom who survived the intensive artillery fire suddenly appeared, rushing up The officers and soldiers of the Great Qin Army launched a fierce battle.

Holding the binoculars, Zhou Jianmin, commander of the temporary 5th Division, put down the binoculars and said to Xing Yuantao, the deputy division commander beside him, in a deep voice: "After retaking Tiexin Street, let the Fifth Infantry Battalion, the Sixth Infantry Battalion and the Seventh Infantry Battalion immediately regroup. To establish a position, we must defend Tiexin Street this time, this block has been lost three times in the hands of our provisional 5th Division before, if I can’t hold it again, I won’t even meet the commander.”

Now the time has come to February 2538, 20 in the divine calendar, more than [-] days have passed since Su Yi became the city defense commander of Yueyang City, and the tragic street fighting in Yueyang City is still going on.

In more than 20 days, the Ice Lion Army not only failed to completely capture the urban area of ​​Yueyang City, but the army under Su Yi took back some blocks that were previously occupied by the Ice Lion Army. The end of the war is far away.

You must know that many newspapers in the Ice Lion Kingdom claimed that the Ice Lion Army would take only one month to take down Yueyang City, the capital of the Great Qin Kingdom, but now it has passed since the Ice Lion Army launched an attack on Yueyang City. More than two months.

Su Yi has a total of three temporary armies in his hands. Although due to the battle in Yueyang City, Su Yi has not had time to establish a formal formation for the three temporary armies, but he also temporarily gave the three temporary armies to form their own formations. Three temporary divisions were set up, but no military headquarters were set up for the three temporary armies. Currently, the nine temporary divisions are directly under the command of the City Defense Command.

Zhou Jianmin was originally the division commander of the 5th Division of the Great Qin Army temporarily. He and the other four division commanders did not leave Yueyang City by transport plane, and all five of them were appointed by Su Yi as division commanders of his troops. Zhou Jianmin was still the division commander of the temporary 5th Division. teacher.

However, the temporary division under Su Yi's command is different from the temporary division under the Daqin Ministry of Defense. At present, Su Yi does not have a brigade or regiment level, and each temporary division has [-] infantrymen. battalion, one reconnaissance battalion, five air defense battalions, five artillery battalions, and three logistics battalions. The initial strength of each battalion reached more than [-] people. Almost identical.

According to Su Yi's order, the nine temporary divisions absorbed a large number of young men in Yueyang City, plus the remaining officers and soldiers in Yueyang City, Su Yi's troops once expanded to nearly 40.

However, during the fierce battle of more than 20 days, the army of the Ice Lion Kingdom continued to increase the intensity of the attack, making the street fighting in Yueyang City more and more fierce. When it came to the various temporary divisions under his command, the strength of Su Yi's army also dropped to 38 at this time.

In addition, in order to resist the army of the Ice Lion Kingdom, Su Yi organized all civilians in Yueyang City who could take up arms, including women, teenage children and the elderly. Anyway, the people in Yueyang City knew that once Yueyang City was completely Fallen, the ordinary people living in Yueyang City, it is difficult for them to escape the massacre of the Ice Lion Army. It is better to fight with the Ice Lion Army now, but there is still a chance of survival. After all, under the leadership of Su Yi However, in the battle situation in Yueyang City, the advantage is still on the side of the Qin army.

Deputy division commander Xing Yuantao frowned and said to division commander Zhou Jianmin: "Old Zhou, the fifth infantry battalion, sixth infantry battalion and seventh infantry battalion of our division had less than 800 soldiers left before. The three infantry battalions want to Recapturing Tiexin Street will require a lot of casualties. Should the No.19 Infantry Battalion or No.20 Infantry Battalion be transferred to Tiexin Street? These two battalions have been supplemented, and their strength is around 300. I have been resting all day and have not participated in the battle."

Division Commander Zhou Jianmin pondered for a while and said: "The No.19 Infantry Battalion and No.20 Infantry Battalion are the last reserves of the 5th Division that we temporarily organize. Afterwards, transfer the Fourth Infantry Battalion to Tiexin Street and concentrate the strength of the four infantry battalions. Provide continuous artillery support for the four infantry battalions guarding Tiexin Street."

Deputy division commander Xing Yuantao nodded slightly, "The fourth infantry battalion still has nearly a thousand troops, plus the fifth infantry battalion, the sixth infantry battalion and the seventh infantry battalion, the Ice Lion Army wants to rejoin our temporary army this time. It will not be easy for the 5th Division to take back the block of Tiexin Street. It is a pity that the artillery battalions of our temporary divisions are not equipped with artillery with a longer range, otherwise as long as they can suppress the large-caliber Ice Lion Army Artillery, maybe our three temporary armies have already driven the Ice Lion Army out of Yueyang City."

目前苏毅麾下每个暂编师下设的炮兵营，都装备有一百零八门M1897式75毫米野炮、54门M2式105毫米榴弹炮和一百零八门100毫米迫击炮，火力可谓非常强大。

However, the M2 105mm howitzer with the longest range has a range of only 150 kilometers, while the [-]mm howitzer equipped by the Ice Lion Artillery Troops has a range of [-] kilometers. It is precisely because of this that Su Yi The many artillery battalions under his command have been unable to suppress the artillery troops of the Ice Lion Country.

Because Su Yi's troops are equipped with a large number of single-person air defense missiles, the air force of the Ice Lion Kingdom cannot control the air superiority over Yueyang City. If Su Yi's artillery can suppress the opponent's artillery, then the Ice Lion The Lion Kingdom army could not gain a foothold in Yueyang City at all.

The attacking force of the temporarily formed 5th Division quickly defeated the remaining Ice Lion Army that stood firm on Tiexin Street, and took back the block again.

But not long after, artillery shells from the Ice Lion Kingdom's artillery landed on this block of Tiexin Street one after another. After a few minutes of shelling, hundreds of Lion Clan soldiers from the Ice Lion Kingdom launched a charge, trying to recapture Tiexin Street. Street this block.

This kind of tug-of-war has become the norm in Yueyang City. If the Qin army loses a block, it will immediately organize troops to retake the lost block. If the Ice Lion Army loses a block, it will quickly mobilize troops to return at all costs. Take this neighborhood back.

The hundreds of lion soldiers who launched the charge had to retreat after losing more than half of them. Then the Ice Lion Army suddenly dispatched 4000 to 5 people to attack the temporary [-]th Division stationed in Tiexin Street. The troops attacked.

However, what surprised the provisional 5th Division this time was that most of the Ice Lion Army that launched the charge were human soldiers.

Zhou Jianmin, commander of the provisional 5th division, learned of the situation, and immediately reported the situation to city defense commander Su Yi, and ordered the troops of the provisional 5th division, as long as they were enemies with weapons, whether they were orcs or Human beings must resolutely keep them out of the position.

At the front headquarters of the Ice Lion Army outside Yueyang City, the deputy commander-in-chief, Army General Gelu, said to the commander-in-chief, Marshal Kayano: "Three of the twenty newly arrived garrison infantry divisions have already been deployed in the urban area of ​​Yueyang City. On the battlefield, if necessary, the other seventeen garrison infantry divisions can also be thrown into Yueyang City at any time."

It turns out that the [-] Ice Lion Country garrison infantry divisions newly transferred to Yueyang City are all ordinary garrison infantry divisions mainly composed of human soldiers. Human soldiers accounted for three quarters of the [-] garrison infantry divisions. above.

Marshal Kayano sighed and said: "If the loss is not too great, I really don't want to mobilize these twenty garrison infantry divisions to join the street fighting in Yueyang City. After all, human soldiers account for the majority of these twenty garrison infantry divisions. After learning from the lessons learned from the 156th Garrison Infantry Division, I am really worried about those human soldiers."

The 156th Garrison Infantry Division is the Ice Lion Country garrison infantry division where the human soldiers staged an uprising, and in the end, more than 156 human soldiers from the [-]th Garrison Infantry Division joined Su Yi's command. Among them, there are many officers and soldiers who turned out to be human soldiers of the Ice Lion Army.

General Gelu, the deputy commander in chief, said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect the Daqin army to resist so tenaciously in Yueyang City. As of 30:10,000 pm on February [-]th, our Ice Lion Army has killed more than [-] people in Yueyang City." There are [-]+ wounded, and many troops are almost disabled.”

Not counting the 26 Ice Lion Kingdom garrison infantry divisions that have just arrived in Yueyang City, the Ice Lion Kingdom army has already invested in the street battles in Yueyang City, and has successively invested 100 imperial guard mechanized infantry divisions and 26 garrison infantry divisions. More than [-] million, and the [-] garrison infantry divisions are the main garrison infantry divisions composed of orcs, and their combat effectiveness is quite strong.

Marshal Kayano shook his head helplessly and said: "It is precisely because of the heavy losses in the street fighting that I had to transfer the twenty garrison infantry divisions here! By the way, the city defense commander of the Daqin garrison Have you figured out Su Yi's resume? Which military academy of the Great Qin Army did he graduate from?"

General Gelu, the deputy commander in chief, said with some confusion: "Marshal, according to the information we have so far, Su Yi, the city defense commander of the Great Qin garrison, has never attended any military academy in the Great Qin State before, and Su Yi was More than two months ago, it was only the clerk of a company in the Great Qin Army, and in the army of the Great Qin State, the clerk of the company will be equivalent to the squad leader."

At this time, the army of the Ice Lion Kingdom already knew that the name of the top general of the Daqin garrison in Yueyang City was Su Yi, but the intelligence department of the Ice Lion Kingdom knew nothing about Su Yi.

Marshal Kayano frowned: "It's impossible, let the intelligence department continue to track down all the information about Su Yi. If a small squad leader in the Great Qin Kingdom can resist our army of millions of Ice Lions, our army of Ice Lions Now it is impossible to occupy half of the Great Qin Kingdom."

After a pause, Marshal Kayano continued: "All newly arrived garrison infantry divisions must closely monitor the human soldiers to prevent those human soldiers from betraying. What happened to the 156th garrison infantry division must never happen again. Once humans are found Soldiers showing signs of betrayal must be severely suppressed."

The matter of the 156th Garrison Infantry Division of the Ice Lion Country not only caused the Ice Lion Country Army to lose a garrison infantry division, but also because Marshal Cayano asked the country to take extreme measures against the families of human soldiers who participated in the uprising, which caused the Ice Lion Country Domestic unrest.

The family members of the human soldiers who got the news first gathered together and carried out an armed riot in advance. As more and more humans joined the armed riot, the scale of the armed riot became larger and larger, and the army of the Ice Lion Kingdom had to be mobilized A part of the troops encircled and suppressed the human rebels in the country.

Su Yi learned that human soldiers from the Ice Lion Kingdom had also joined the battlefield in Yueyang City. He couldn't help but feel moved, and said to Sun Guodong, the deputy commander of the city defense: "The Ice Lion Kingdom has been oppressing the human beings in the country. This time, the Ice Lion Kingdom mobilized human soldiers to join Yueyang City. The battlefield in the city may be an opportunity for us, I think we can find a way to get in touch with the human soldiers of the Ice Lion Army."

After Su Yi became the city defense commander of Yueyang City, Sun Guodong also rose to the top and was appointed by Su Yi as the deputy commander of the city defense of Yueyang City. Sun Guodong was also awarded the rank of major general by the Ministry of National Defense of the Great Qin State, while Su Yi was awarded the rank of major general by the Ministry of National Defense. The Ministry conferred the rank of lieutenant general in the army.

Sun Guodong, the deputy commander of the city defense, nodded and said: "Commander, I think it is possible to transfer the soldiers from the 156th Garrison Infantry Division of the Ice Lion Army among the various divisions, and let them contact the human soldiers of the Ice Lion Army. The human soldiers of the Army Garrison Infantry Division also broke out in an uprising, so our nine divisions can replenish a large number of veterans."

Su Yi agreed and said: "Old Sun, I will do as you said. I will transfer soldiers belonging to the 156th Garrison Infantry Division of the Ice Lion Army from each division, and find a way to guide the human soldiers of other Ice Lion Garrison Divisions to revolt. Once successful, we have picked up a big deal."
