Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 318 Active Evacuation
The commander-in-chief of the Ice Lion Army, Marshal Kayano, has a very good idea. Let the Ice Lion Army in the south of Yueyang City directly give up the passage in the south of Yueyang City. I hope that the Daqin Army in Yueyang City can withdraw from Yueyang through this passage. City, so as to achieve the goal of the Ice Lion Army to capture Yueyang City.

However, the Daqin army in Yueyang City had no intention of abandoning the city and fleeing, and even sent an army of tens of thousands of people to attack the county seat of Yuhong County south of Yueyang City at night.

Although even if Yuhong County is captured by the Daqin army in Yueyang City, the Daqin army in Yueyang City will not contact the reinforcements, but once the Daqin army in Yueyang City captures Yuhong County, it means that the Daqin army in Yueyang City can start from Yuhong County recruited hundreds of thousands of young and strong to supplement.

Since the south of Yueyang City has been gathering hundreds of thousands of Ice Lion Army, so in the county seat of Yuhong County, the Ice Lion Army only stationed a garrison infantry brigade. Marshal Kayano understood the intention of the Daqin Army in Yueyang City Immediately afterwards, several divisions were mobilized to support the county seat of Yuhong County. Unfortunately, the reinforcements sent by Marshal Kayano not only failed to save the county seat of Yuhong County, but were instead captured by Su Yi's tank troops and two temporary divisions. , was defeated and returned, and several divisions of the Ice Lion Army supporting Yuhong County lost a lot of troops.

In the early morning of April 2538, 12 in the divine calendar, the county seat of Yuhong County was taken down by Su Yi's Temporary No.12 Division. At noon on April [-], more than a dozen towns in Yuhong County The entire Ice Lion Army was wiped out by the No. [-] Division, and the entire Yuhong County fell under the control of Su Yi's army.

Of course, Marshal Kayano, the commander-in-chief of the Ice Lion Army, was not reconciled to the fact that Yuhong County was occupied by the Daqin army in Yueyang City. He quickly gathered five guard mechanized infantry divisions and six garrison infantry divisions, trying to retake it. In the worst case, the control of Yuhong County would have to cut off the connection between Yueyang City and Yuhong County.

However, the five Imperial Guard Mechanized Infantry Divisions and the six Garrison Infantry Divisions were not full, and they all lost a lot of troops in the previous battle in Yueyang City. The eleven divisions added up to only a little over 15 people.

Su Yi had already prepared for the counterattack of the Ice Lion Army. He not only left the tank regiment directly under the headquarters in Yuhong County, but also transferred all five temporary divisions under his command to Yuhong County, making the Ice Lion Army Not to mention taking back Yuhong County, even cutting off the connection between Yueyang City and Yuhong County is impossible.

And because of the fighting in Yuhong County and the disastrous defeat of the troops in the south of Yueyang City, the Ice Lion Army gathered in the Yueyang City area was once again in a tense situation, and the Ice Lion Army had to stop Yueyang temporarily. In response to the attack on the other three districts in the city, the Ice Lion Army in these three districts, following the order of Marshal Kayano, launched a defense on the spot.

Although the army of the Ice Lion Kingdom occupied Yuhong County for a short time, the crimes committed against the people of Yuhong County are also unspeakable. After Yuhong County was recovered by Su Yi's army, the people of Yuhong County were not Su Yi ordered the recruitment, and a large number of young men joined the army. In just three days, Yuhong County provided Su Yi with 40 soldiers.

Some of the more than 40 new soldiers who joined Su Yi's command were the collapsed soldiers of the Great Qin Army hidden in Yuhong County, and there were even many officers.

Su Yi did not refuse anyone who came, and incorporated these rout soldiers hidden in Yuhong County, and even many officers among the rout soldiers, into his troops. Su Yi also formed two troops for each of the three temporary armies. With three new temporary divisions, each temporary division under Su Yi's command has six temporary divisions.

The officers of the newly formed temporary divisions were drawn from the original twelve temporary divisions to ensure Su Yi's control over the temporary divisions under his command. Their military ranks were assigned to the original twelve temporary divisions.

On April 155th, Marshal Kayano, the commander-in-chief of the Ice Lion Army, ordered the eleven divisions that entered Yuhong County to withdraw from the territory of Yuhong County. One division cannot be withdrawn. The army under Su Yi's command has an absolute advantage in the battle in Yuhong County, especially the [-]mm howitzer that Su Yi transported from the world of the Tang Empire. After the formation of the artillery unit under Su Yi's command, the last advantage of the Ice Lion Army in large-caliber artillery has also disappeared.

In just a few days of fierce fighting, the five guard mechanized infantry divisions and six garrison infantry divisions of the Ice Lion Army entered Yuhong County, losing almost half of their strength, and several divisions were disabled.

As for the 155mm howitzer, Su Yi also adopted the method of transporting the Type 69 main battle tank, and asked an arsenal in the Tang Empire to divide the 155mm howitzer into multiple parts, and then Su Yi transported it to the Great Qin Kingdom through the Stargate In this world, let the workers in Yueyang City reassemble multiple parts into a 155mm howitzer.

On the evening of April [-]th, at the front headquarters of the Ice Lion Army outside Yueyang City, Marshal Kayano hoarsely asked the deputy commander, Army General Gelu: "The five guards in Yuhong County Has the mechanized infantry division and the six garrison infantry divisions been withdrawn?"

Gelu nodded and said: "The eleven divisions have all withdrawn, but the losses of each division are very large. For example, the No.30 Sixth Garrison Infantry Division has only more than 700 people left. The Daqin Army in Yueyang City, unexpectedly There are also howitzers with a caliber of more than 150mm, and there are still a lot of them. This makes our artillery troops in the Ice Lion Country no longer able to suppress the artillery of the Daqin Army. The next siege of Yueyang City will become even more serious. difficult."

Marshal Kayano sighed and said: "I really don't understand, since the Daqin army in Yueyang City has a large number of howitzers with a caliber of more than 150mm, why didn't they take them out earlier, instead of waiting until our Ice Lion Army tried to recapture them?" Yuhong County only took it out?"

Gelu smiled wryly and said: "The Great Qin army in Yueyang City has too many surprises. It doesn't look like the Great Qin army. Its weapons and equipment are so sophisticated that it even surpasses our Ice Lion Army by several levels."

Marshal Kayano said sadly at this time: "The cabinet is very dissatisfied with our performance in the Yueyang City battlefield. The cabinet asked me to formulate a detailed battle plan again for the unfavorable situation in the Yueyang City battlefield. Grew, what do you think? So what should we do next?"

Gru looked at Marshal Kayano hesitantly, but didn't express his opinion right away.

"Gelu, just speak up if you have anything to say! With the relationship between the two of us for many years, there is no need to hide anything." Marshal Kayano saw the hesitation on Gru's face.

Gelu then nodded slightly, "Marshal, in fact, in my opinion, our Ice Lion Army has fallen into a very difficult situation on the battlefield of Yueyang City. Can we consider suspending the capture of Yueyang City? After all, we are attacking Yueyang City. Troops, the loss is too great, it is best to give the divisions with serious losses some time to recover."

Marshal Kayano was silent for a moment and said: "Marshal Gullit also sent me a confidential message, persuading me to end this attack on Yueyang City, and to abandon the south of Yueyang City that has been captured by our Ice Lion Army. several counties."

In the army of the Ice Lion Kingdom, there are a total of three marshals, namely Gullit, Kayano, and Davide. These three are currently members of the Ice Lion's cabinet.

Gelu couldn't help being stunned: "Why did Marshal Gullit suggest abandoning those counties south of Yueyang City? Once those counties are abandoned, our encirclement of the Qin army in Yueyang City will be completely destroyed."

Marshal Kayano slowly explained: "According to Marshal Gullit's analysis, Su Yi, the general of the Great Qin Army who is now leading troops to resist our Ice Lion Army in Yueyang City, only took the lead in this war. Does not really belong to any of the thirteen factions of the Great Qin Army, but he actually controls the most elite troops of the Great Qin Kingdom. According to the inferiority of human beings, maybe when our Ice Lion Army gathers forces again to attack Yueyang City At that time, Su Yi no longer existed."

Gru's eyes suddenly lit up, "Marshal, this possibility is very high. Human beings are best at infighting. Perhaps by relying on the thirteen factions of the Great Qin Army, we can get rid of Su Yi, a powerful enemy for our Ice Lion Country. "

Marshal Kayano then smiled wryly and sighed again, "It's just that I'm really unwilling to retreat from Yueyang City like this!"

Gelu pondered for a moment and said: "Marshal, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. As long as we can gather enough troops again, we can attack Yueyang City again at any time."

On the morning of April 2538, [-] in the divine calendar, Marshal Kayano, the commander-in-chief of the army of the Ice Lion Kingdom who was in charge of attacking Yueyang City, ordered all the troops of the Ice Lion Kingdom in the Yueyang City area to withdraw from Yueyang City. The Ice Lion Army in several counties south of Yueyang City also voluntarily abandoned these counties in accordance with Marshal Kayano's order.

However, the main force of the Ice Lion Army that had withdrawn from the Yueyang City area did not withdraw too far. Marshal Kayano led most of the Ice Lion Army, but only retreated to the north of Phoenix Mountain, and sent heavy troops to carry out the battle in the Phoenix Mountain area. At the same time, the Ice Lion Country began to recruit more reserve personnel to replenish the divisions that suffered serious losses in the Yueyang City battlefield through railway, road and air transportation.

After Su Yi found out that the Ice Lion Army in the Yueyang City area retreated voluntarily, he did not send troops to take advantage of the situation to pursue them. Instead, he sent several temporary divisions to take Zhutian County and Lanping County, which were abandoned by the Ice Lion Army to the south of Yueyang City, to the south of Yueyang City. , Danyan County, and Huining County were included in the bag, and the total population of these four counties exceeded 100 million.

However, when Su Yi's army regained Zhutian County, Lanping County, Danyan County, and Huining County, it bordered on the areas controlled by other troops of the Great Qin Army.

In Su Yi's city defense headquarters in Yueyang City, Sun Guodong, the deputy commander of the city defense, said to Su Yi solemnly: "Commander, although the siege of Yueyang City is relieved, it is a matter of gratitude, but with the power of the Ministry of National Defense, Will re-enter Yueyang City, I think we should take some precautions?"

Su Yi understood what Sun Guodong meant. After all, Su Yi was just a company clerk a few months ago, but now he has become the commander of hundreds of thousands of elite troops. This will inevitably make some people jealous. Moreover, the hundreds of thousands of elite troops under Su Yi's command may be a big piece of fat in the eyes of some factions. Maybe some factions are now eyeing and preparing to carve up the hundreds of thousands of elite troops under Su Yi's command!
Su Yi said calmly: "The establishment of the three temporary armies was bought by me, Su Yi, who risked his life to stay in Yueyang City. The weapons, ammunition and other supplies of hundreds of thousands of soldiers were also obtained by me, Su Yi, through some channels. I, Su Yi, even paid hundreds of thousands of soldiers' salaries, if anyone wants to sit back and enjoy the benefits, they have to ask me if I agree to the gun in Su Yi's hand!"

A trace of ferocity flashed across Sun Guodong's face, "The commander is right. The temporary first army, the temporary second army, and the temporary third army were formed with great difficulty by the commander. If anyone dares to reach out, we will Chop off whose hand!"

Su Yi immediately said: "Guodong, most of the high-level officers in our three temporary armies were originally division commanders, brigade commanders, and regiment commanders of our Great Qin Army, and they all belonged to various factions of the military before. For these high-level military officers, we really have to take some precautions, and we can't let them pull the troops away."

Sun Guodong sighed and said, "Commander, I'm just worried that the three senior officers of our temporary army will be drawn over by various factions."

Su Yi said in a deep voice: "Everyone has his own aspirations. If any of the three high-level officers of the temporary army is willing to leave, I will never stop them, but if someone wants to take the troops away, then don't blame me, Su Yi, for being rude." , Guodong, help me spread these words, so that all the officers above the battalion level of the three temporary armies know where my bottom line is for Su Yi."

Sun Guodong nodded and said: "I will immediately convey the commander's words to the officers above the battalion level."

Su Yi went on to say: "Although the army of the ice lion country gave up the attack on Yueyang City, the main force of the army of the ice lion country that attacked Yueyang City before did not go far, but stationed troops in the north of Phoenix Mountain, and the army of the ice lion country There are also heavy troops stationed on the front line of Phoenix Mountain. In this way, the Ice Lion Army can cross Phoenix Mountain at any time and attack Yueyang City again. Therefore, we must continue to expand the size of the three temporary armies to deal with the Ice Lion Army. The next attack on Yueyang City."

"Commander, don't worry, we will recruit as many young men as possible into the army in Yuhong County, Zhutian County, Lanping County, Danyan County and Huining County."

"My requirement for conscription is that the more the better, the problems of weapons and equipment, logistics supplies, and military pay are all resolved by me!"
