Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 33 Firepower beyond imagination

The two division heads of the Jisk Empire Army originally thought that it would not be too difficult to conquer Wandian Town. After all, after supplementing the two divisions a few days ago, they basically reached full strength. The total strength of the two divisions reached 10.

Moreover, each division of the Jisk Empire has powerful firepower. The artillery wing under each division will be equipped with 64 75mm field guns and sixteen 105mm howitzers. The Sk Empire defeated the four eastern countries, even comparable to the Noomi Empire, the world's number one army.

However, when the two artillery regiments under the two divisions of the Jisk Empire began to shell the fortifications outside Wandian Town, something that shocked the two division leaders of the Jisk Empire happened. The army of the Yun Empire also has a large number of artillery, and there are even howitzers with a caliber larger than 105 mm, and there are many of them.

Under the shelling of Su Yi's artillery unit, the two divisions of the Jisk Empire attacked Wandian Town. It can be said to be very difficult, and they have to suffer huge losses every minute. The mm field guns and 75 mm howitzers were also destroyed a lot.

Fimochka, head of the No.20 Sixth Division, frowned and said to Feodor, the head of the No.15 Division: "The Liuyun Imperial Army in Wandian Town has more artillery than the two of us. There are even more divisions, and there are large-caliber howitzers around 150mm. Unless the large-caliber howitzers of the Liuyun Empire can be eliminated, it will be impossible for our two divisions to conquer Wandian Town. Task."

Feodor, the head of the No.15 Division, sighed and said: "Let the attacking troops suspend their attack. The firepower of this Liuyun Empire army is beyond our imagination. If we continue to attack so forcefully, the losses will be too great. Report the situation here to the Imperial War Department as soon as possible!"

On the evening of April 3011th, 150 in the Tang Dynasty, in the palace of Wendell City, the capital of the Gisk Empire, Ernest, Minister of the War Department of the Gisk Empire, told Emperor Lazarik in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, The army led by Su Yi is equipped with a large number of artillery and heavy machine guns, and even large-caliber howitzers over 15mm. Township, the attack was launched in less than three hours, and the combined casualties exceeded 20 people, and I have ordered the 4000th Division and 26th Division to temporarily stop the attack on Wandian Town."

Emperor Lazarik looked at the military map on the desktop, then frowned and asked, "Can we bypass Wandian Town and directly attack Kangshan City?"

Minister of War Ernest shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, the roads in other directions of Kangshan City are too difficult to walk, and the large troops cannot march at all. Only by conquering Wandian Town can the two divisions attack Kangshan City, and even It will be very difficult for the two divisions to capture Kangshan City if they can bypass Wandian Town and rely on the strength of the army under Su Yi's command."

Emperor Lazaric frowned even more when he heard this, "Ernest, what's your opinion on this from the Ministry of War? Do you want to send more troops to Kangshan City?"

Minister of War Ernest hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, I suggest temporarily abandoning the plan to attack Kangshan City. After all, the main enemy of the Royal Army of the Gisk Empire is still the army of the Star Empire. The Fleet and the Second Fleet are at sea, and it seems almost impossible for our Royal Army to force Su Yi's fleet away from Kangshan Port."

Emperor Lazarik immediately asked Maxim, Prime Minister of the Gisk Empire, "Prime Minister, what's your opinion on this?"

Prime Minister Maxim immediately said: "Your Majesty, since the combat power of Su Yi's army has exceeded our previous estimates, then I think it is not suitable to attack Kangshan City. The top priority of our Jisk Empire is to make the Skystar Empire submit quickly. , and become a vassal of our Gisk Empire."

Emperor Lazaric gritted his teeth and said, "I'm a little bit unwilling!"

Prime Minister Maxim continued: "Your Majesty, the expedition fleet sent by the Sharad Empire will arrive in the waters of the Liuyun Empire in about a month or so. The expedition fleet of the Sharad Empire has four super fearless ships. Battleships, eight dreadnought battleships, eight former dreadnought battleships, and sixteen ironclad battleships, when the time comes, our Royal Navy of the Gisk Empire will be able to join forces with the expeditionary fleet of the Sharad Empire to avenge the disastrous defeat of the two previous fleets. After Su Yi's navy is wiped out, it will be much easier to capture Kangshan City and Kangshan Port."

"The prime minister is justified, then contact the Sharad Empire as soon as possible to implement the formation of the joint fleet of the two countries."

On April 21, an infantry regiment drawn from Xingang City and five ad hoc infantry regiments composed of naval officers and soldiers arrived at Kangshan Port. The three-class battlecruiser, four Italian Earl of Cavour-class battleships, four British Lord Nelson-class battleships, six Wiesbaden-class light cruisers and eighteen Vickers-class destroyers were all extracted.

In addition to the capture of an armored cruiser and a light cruiser of the Jisk Empire Navy in the sea battle, Su Yi almost dispatched naval officers and soldiers from two ad hoc infantry regiments to staff dozens of warships.

The four Lion-class battlecruisers were named by Su Yi as Lion's Roar, Lion's Might, Lion's Flame and Lion's Man.

The four Italian Earl of Cavour-class battleships were named Fugui, Fushu, Fuqiang and Fu'an by Su Yi.

The four British Lord Nelson-class battleships were named by Su Yi as Lord, Order, Honor and Honor.

The six Wiesbaden-class light cruisers were named Light Cruiser No. 007 - Light Cruiser No. 012, and the eighteen Vickers-class destroyers were named Destroyer No. 019 - Destroyer No. 036.

The battleship formation of the independent fleet was also reorganized by Su Yi, and two battleship battleships were added.

The formation of the first battleship remained unchanged, still including six super dreadnought battleships, and the second battleship added four Italian Count Cavour-class battleships, making the second battleship have eight dreadnought battleships.

Third Squadron became a battlecruiser formation of four Lion-class battlecruisers, Fourth Squadron consisted of six Edward VII-class battleships, and Fifth Squadron consisted of four Lord Nelson-class battleships.
