Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 314
Seeing that there was no hope for peace talks with the Ice Lion Kingdom, the top military officials of the Great Qin Kingdom immediately held a military meeting of the Ministry of National Defense to discuss how to provide favorable support to Yueyang City.

At the beginning of the meeting, Minister of National Defense Liu Fuchen said in a deep voice to the other twelve senior officials of the Ministry of National Defense: "The defense of Yueyang City is very important for our Great Qin Kingdom to resist the army of the Ice Lion Kingdom. The lion country army is firmly surrounded, but our military must also find ways to support the defenders of Yueyang City."

After a pause, Minister of National Defense Liu Fuchen continued, "According to intelligence, the Ice Lion Army has mobilized six Imperial Guard Mechanized Infantry Divisions and eight Garrison Infantry Divisions from various battlefields, and has also mobilized 50 supplementary troops from China. And supplementary soldiers, will join the battlefield in Yueyang City."

Chief of General Staff Zhou Botao said with a wry smile: "The area around Yueyang City has been captured by the Ice Lion Army, and the nearest unit of our Great Qin Army to Yueyang City is also [-] kilometers away. ability to do it.”

Deputy Minister of National Defense Zhao Zeling immediately said in a deep voice: "No matter what, we have to try it. Once Yueyang City falls, it may cause a series of chain reactions, and the Ice Lion Army will immediately have millions of elite troops free. At that time, our Great Qin Kingdom will really be over!"

In the end, the thirteen senior officials of the Daqin Ministry of National Defense, representing the thirteen factions of the Daqin military, reached a consensus that they would try to support Yueyang City at all costs, so as to prevent Yueyang City, which will never fall in the eyes of the soldiers and people of the Daqin Kingdom. city ​​fell.

Soon the Great Qin Army mobilized more than 50 troops to try to open the passage to Yueyang City from the south of Yueyang City. However, the more than 50 Great Qin Army was mechanized by two guards of the Ice Lion Army in just two days. The infantry division was defeated, and the Daqin Army of more than 50 lost nearly 20.

After this attempt, the Daqin military was still not reconciled, and organized more than 30 army troops, and launched a major attack from the west of Yueyang City. In the end, it still failed to break through the defense line of the Ice Lion Army, and was almost defeated. A mechanized infantry division of the Ice Lion Army made dumplings.

After the failure of the two reinforcements to Yueyang City, the Daqin military changed its strategy, intensified its actions on other battlefields, and even launched active attacks on many battlefields, hoping to relieve some pressure on Yueyang City through this method.

However, the series of actions of the Great Qin Army did not interfere with the troop deployment plan of the Ice Lion Army. As of March 2538, 23 in the divine calendar, the Ice Lion Army had gathered 34 mechanized guards in the Yueyang City area. Infantry divisions and 130 garrison infantry divisions, and these units have basically reached full strength, with a total strength of more than [-] million.

On the evening of March [-]th, at the front headquarters of the Ice Lion Army outside Yueyang City, the deputy commander-in-chief, Army General Gru Langsheng, reported to Marshal Kayano: "Marshal, more than [-] supplementary troops, through the railway All transportation, road and air transportation have been replenished to the divisions on the front line, and ammunition and other supplies have all arrived at the front line of Yueyang City on time."

Marshal Kayano nodded slightly and said: "Since the troops and supplies are in place, then tomorrow morning, I will order all divisions to launch a fierce attack on the urban area of ​​Yueyang City in accordance with the previously formulated combat plan. We must gnaw down the hard bone of Yueyang City."

General Grulang, the deputy commander in chief, hesitated for a moment and said, "Marshal, more than 50 supplementary soldiers have just been incorporated into each division, should we give these more than 50 supplementary soldiers some time to integrate into the army, so as not to affect the combat effectiveness of each division. "

Marshal Kayano said indifferently: "These more than 50 supplementary soldiers are originally trained reserve officers and soldiers. They have conducted a long-term targeted training in China before, so they should not have too much impact on the combat effectiveness of each division. Influence, and the battlefield is the fastest place to integrate into the army, only blood and sacrifice can cast an iron-blooded lion."

At this time, in Su Yi's City Defense Command in Yueyang City, the Deputy City Defense Commander Sun Guodong said to Su Yi with a solemn face: "Commander, according to the reports from the reconnaissance battalions of each division, the reinforcements from the Ice Lion Kingdom and a large number of supplementary troops should have arrived in Yueyang In the urban area, I believe that the next wave of offensive from the Ice Lion Kingdom will come soon."

Su Yi sighed and said: "The Ministry of National Defense has assembled hundreds of thousands of army troops twice in a row, trying to open the passage to Yueyang City, but unfortunately they all failed. The next battle to defend Yueyang City still depends on us." The three temporary armies in hand."

During the period when the battle in Yueyang City fell silent, Su Yi also established the military headquarters of the three temporary armies, and appointed Zhou Jianmin, Wu Youliang, and Qian Rongli as the temporary first army and the temporary army respectively. The commanders of the Second Army and the Temporary Third Army, and these three were originally division commanders of other units of the Great Qin Army.

Each of the three temporary armies has four temporary divisions. For this reason, Su Yi established three new temporary divisions. Each temporary division still has [-] infantry battalions, one reconnaissance battalion, and five air defense battalions. Battalion, five artillery battalions, and three logistics battalions, each with a strength of about [-] people, and there is still no regiment-level and brigade-level establishment under the temporary division.

The other three temporary divisions also established guard battalions, artillery battalions, air defense battalions and several supplementary battalions directly under the military headquarters.

The troops directly under the City Defense Command have been upgraded to the regiment level. The Daqin Army in the entire Yueyang City, after a new reorganization, has a total strength of 52, including many officers and soldiers who have returned from injury.

During this period of time, Su Yi also ordered the soldiers and civilians in Yueyang City to build many solid fortifications in the ruins of Yueyang City, using the steel and cement that Su Yi brought over from the world of the Tang Empire. The ground extends all the way to the ground.

It can even be said that Su Yi has turned Yueyang City into a huge military fortress during the period when the Ice Lion Army increased its troops.

Sun Guodong, the deputy commander of the city defense, immediately sighed and said, "I never thought that the Ministry of National Defense would be defeated so soon after gathering hundreds of thousands of troops. The troops we were preparing to respond to hadn't even had time to set off."

Although Yueyang City has been firmly surrounded by the Ice Lion Army, the communication between Yueyang City and the outside world has not been interrupted. When Su Yi learned that the Ministry of National Defense has mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops to break through the encirclement of the Ice Lion Army on Yueyang City, To reinforce Yueyang City, several temporary divisions were mobilized immediately to support the hundreds of thousands of Great Qin Army troops who came to aid.

However, several temporary divisions under Su Yi's command had not yet attacked, and the hundreds of thousands of Great Qin Army troops were defeated, and it was the same for the second time.

Su Yi looked down at the Yueyang city defense map on the table, and then said decisively: "Now there are twelve temporary divisions under the three temporary armies, plus the troops directly under the three military headquarters and our city defense command. The total army strength exceeds 52, and there are more than 100 million people in the city to support them, even if the Ice Lion Army gathers 200 million or even 300 million troops, we will definitely smash the Ice Lion Army's plot to capture Yueyang City."

"Boom—boom—boom—" Early in the morning on March [-], the Ice Lion Army concentrated thousands of cannons, and first launched the most violent attack on some blocks occupied by the Daqin Army in Yueyang City. shelling.

Immediately, the artillery unit under Su Yi, not to be outdone, launched a mutual bombardment with the artillery unit of the Ice Lion Country, but because of the artillery unit under Su Yi's command, the artillery with the largest caliber was only a 105mm howitzer. The equipped 150mm howitzer has a shorter range, so that in the confrontation between the artillery units of the two sides, Su Yi's artillery units suffered a little bit.

However, the gap between the artillery units of the two sides is not large. The artillery units under Su Yi's command have a numerical advantage, and the number of artillery far exceeds that of the opponent.

With the extension of the artillery fire of the Ice Lion Army, the armored troops and infantry of the Ice Lion Army began to attack, but what the Ice Lion Army did not expect was that under such intensive artillery fire, the Daqin Army still had a large number of reinforced concrete fortifications unscathed No damage, but the armored troops and infantry of the Ice Lion Kingdom suffered a great loss in front of these reinforced concrete fortifications.

Although the attacking troops of the Ice Lion Kingdom suffered a lot of losses, the Ice Lion Kingdom army did not weaken their attack power, making the street fighting in Yueyang City very tragic from the very beginning.

In an underground fortification in the northern part of Yueyang City, Ma Sibao, the battalion commander of the No. 12 Infantry Battalion of the No. 18 Division temporarily organized by the Daqin Army, shouted into the phone: "The third company commander, I don't care how much your company's losses are." , and you must also defend the North Street Market for me, if the North Street Market falls, then there will be a big gap in the entire defense line of our battalion!"

Battalion commander Ma Sibao was originally one of the three soldiers who survived by Su Yi's side just after he came to the world of Great Qin, and he was the only one among the three soldiers who was still alive. The other two died because of their serious injuries up.

As Su Yi's military position is getting bigger and bigger, Ma Sibao, who has been following Su Yi, has also risen. He was promoted from an ordinary soldier to a battalion commander. One of the teachers of every temporary editor may fall on his head.

Immediately there was an anxious voice on the phone: "Battalion Commander, there are less than fifty people left in our third company. The orcs in the Ice Lion Country are crazy. Batch after batch rushed up. Regardless of the casualties, I am worried that our third company will not be able to survive, the casualties are too great!"

Battalion Commander Ma Sibao pondered for a moment: "I'll immediately send you the two platoons of the Eighth Company. Even if there is only one person left in the position, I must defend the North Street Market."

Hearing that the battalion commander had transferred two platoons from the eighth company as a reserve team to support his third company, his tone on the phone was obviously relaxed, "Don't worry, battalion commander, as long as there is one person from our third company, the North Street Market will be closed." Can't lose it."

After the battalion commander Ma Sibao put down the phone, he immediately turned to the deputy battalion commander Feng Hao and ordered, "Let the [-]st and [-]nd platoons of the [-]th company immediately support the North Street Market. The [-]rd company lost more than half, and they can't stand it anymore."

Deputy Battalion Commander Feng Hao is Su Yi's new recruit who just came to the world of the Great Qin Kingdom. After he was promoted to company commander, Feng Hao is not very old, he is only 16 years old this year.

In a series of fierce battles, Feng Hao has completed the transformation from a recruit to a veteran, and because he followed Su Yi very early, he was promoted by Su Yi to be the youngest battalion-level officer under his command.

Feng Hao hesitated for a while and said: "Brother Ma, the location of the North Street Market is very important. If the North Street Market is breached by the Ice Lion Army, not only will the defense line of our battalion be cut off, but the defense areas of the surrounding battalions will also be affected. How about I personally take the two platoons of the Eighth Company to the North Street Market!"

Ma Sibao resolutely shook his head and said: "Xiao Feng, the battalion headquarters still needs the two of us to be in charge of coordinating and commanding, let's send the two platoons of the Eighth Company to the North Street Market first!"

Ma Sibao has treated Feng Hao as his own younger brother in the past few months. The battle in the North Street Market is so fierce that an infantry company of more than 130 people has less than 50 people left in less than two hours. Ma Sibao I don't want Feng Hao to have any accidents in the North Street Market.

One must know that even Su Yi had told Ma Sibao to take care of his little brother Feng Hao on the battlefield.

The fierce battle in Yueyang City became more and more fierce under the onslaught of the ice lion army regardless of casualties. Even at night, the attack of the ice lion army did not stop, but intensified the attack.

In an underground fortification in the northern part of Yueyang City, Battalion Commander Ma Sibao put down the phone with a gloomy face, and said to Deputy Battalion Commander Feng Hao: "Xiao Feng, you stay at the battalion headquarters, and I will lead the guard platoon, artillery company, air defense Even the soldiers that have been dispatched, go to take back the North Street Market!"

When Feng Hao heard this, he couldn't help but said in surprise: "More than an hour ago, didn't you just reinforce a platoon from the Fifth Company and a platoon from the Seventh Company to the North Street Market? Why did it fall so quickly? Where are the troops stationed in the North Street Market? ?”

Ma Sibao said sadly: "A small group of soldiers from the Ice Lion Kingdom detoured from somewhere to the south of the North Street Market and rushed into our position in the North Street Market. Oh, it was a farewell call from the third company commander just now."

Feng Hao immediately picked up a 95-type automatic rifle beside him, and said loudly: "Brother Ma, you are the battalion commander, and this kind of thing is not up to you, otherwise I, the deputy battalion commander, will be stabbed in the back. Soldiers drawn from the guard platoon, the artillery company, and the air defense company must take back the North Street Market!"

In the army, the general death squads are led by a deputy. Hearing Feng Hao's categorical words, Ma Sibao had no choice but to grit his teeth and said: "Take the soldiers from the cooking squad of the battalion, and I will contact the artillery battalion to provide you with artillery fire." Support, Xiao Feng, we must come back alive!"

Feng Hao smiled and said: "The commander said that when the army of the Ice Lion Kingdom is defeated, he will send me to the military academy. In order to enter the military academy, I will not die."
