Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 338 Large-Scale Counterattack
Hearing that Su Yi was going to launch a counterattack against the Northwest and Northeast regions at the same time, the generals of the Yueyang Front Army in the conference room looked at each other, and no one raised objections.

At present, the total strength of the Yueyang Front Army exceeds 800 million. This is not counting the 2000 million reserve officers and soldiers who are undergoing training. Goshawk dive bombers, plus five tank regiments directly under the headquarters of the Yueyang Front Army, the Yueyang Front Army is fully capable, and at the same time launched a counterattack against the Ice Lion Army entrenched in the Northwest and Northeast regions.

Moreover, these generals of the Yueyang Front Army have blind admiration for Su Yi. Even if Su Yi says that he wants to fight all the way to Ice Lion City, the capital of the Ice Lion Country, these generals of the Yueyang Front Army will definitely obey Su Yi's words , and these generals still have the confidence to lead the troops and really fight all the way to Ice Lion City, the capital of Ice Lion Country.

Sun Guodong, the deputy commander of the Yueyang Front Army, said immediately: "I support the commander's suggestion. Now our Yueyang Front Army is strong and strong, but the Ice Lion Army has just lost millions of troops on the battlefield in the southwest. Once our Yueyang Front Army Launch a comprehensive counterattack to the Northwest and Northeast regions. With the current strength of the Ice Lion Army in the Northwest and Northeast, it will be impossible to stop it, and now the Ice Lions can send additional troops to the Northwest and Northeast. Not too many."

Su Yi immediately looked around at the generals in the conference room, "Do you have any other opinions on this?"

"We all obey the commander!"

"Just follow the commander's plan! With the current strength of our Yueyang Front Army, it is enough to take down the Northwest and Northeast regions!"

"Commander, just give the order!"

Hearing that the generals of the Yueyang Front Army in the meeting room agreed with his plan, Su Yi nodded slightly and said: "Today is February No. The lion country army launched a full-line counterattack. The temporary first army, the temporary fourth army and the temporary seventh army were responsible for attacking the northwest region. The temporary second army, the temporary sixth army, the temporary eighth army and the temporary The No.30 Army is responsible for attacking the Northeast, and the Provisional Tenth Army and the Provisional No.11 Army will serve as the general reserve for this campaign."

After a pause, Su Yi continued: "For troops attacking the northwest region, Zhou Jianmin, the temporary commander of the First Army, will serve as the front-line commander-in-chief; for troops attacking the northeast region, Wu Youliang, the temporary commander of the Second Army, will serve as the front-line commander-in-chief. The headquarters will send two tank regiments to each of the two attacking forces."

Zhou Jianmin, the commander of the temporary first army, and Wu Youliang, the commander of the temporary second army, stood up almost at the same time, "Yes! Commander!"

Sun Guodong, deputy commander of the Yueyang Front Army, hesitated for a moment and said to Su Yi: "Commander, the attack will be launched on the [-]th of next month. Isn't the time too hasty? The seven temporary armies participating in the attack, but many troops have not yet It's in place!"

Su Yi said: "The reason for launching the counterattack so quickly is to not give the Ice Lion Army more time to recover its strength, and let the seven temporary troops arrive at the attack position as soon as possible. If it is too late, they will be the second batch of troops participating in the battle , the counterattack time on the [-]th of next month will remain unchanged!"

After Su Yi's order was issued, the entire Yueyang Front Army began intense pre-war preparations. A large number of troops and combat supplies were transported to some places near the Northwest and Northeast regions by railway and road, and the Yueyang Front Army was so large. His actions were quickly detected by the intelligence system of the Ice Lion Kingdom.

On the morning of March 2539nd, [-] in the divine calendar, at the Prime Minister’s Mansion in Ice Lion City, Cabinet Prime Minister Zahar said in a deep voice to the five military marshals: “According to the reliable information obtained by the intelligence department, the Yueyang Front Army of the Great Qin Kingdom A large number of troops are being gathered in some places near the Northwest and Northeast of the Great Qin State, and it is very likely that we will launch an attack on the Northwest and Northeast regions occupied by our Ice Lion Army in the near future."

The five Marshals of the Ice Lion Army are Field Marshal Gurritt, Field Marshal Kayano, Field Marshal Davide, Navy Marshal Mochka and Air Marshal Vavelli. Among them, Field Marshal Kayano has just returned by plane. Ice Lion City.

Field Marshal Gullit sighed and said: "This is not good news. The army of our Ice Lion Kingdom has just lost millions of people in the southwest of Great Qin. If the Yueyang Front Army of Great Qin invades the northwest and northeast regions, Attacking, the troops of our Ice Lion Army stationed in the above-mentioned areas may not be able to stop it, after all, the combat effectiveness of the Yueyang Front Army is not comparable to that of the other troops of the Great Qin Kingdom."

Although the cabinet of the Ice Lion Kingdom has decided to stick to the northwest and northeast regions of the Great Qin Kingdom, the Ice Lion Kingdom and the Blood Wolf Kingdom have just reached an armistice agreement to carve up the five southwestern provinces of the Great Qin Kingdom. In Yongkang Province and Qiannan Province in the southwestern region, the Ice Lion Army's troops in the northwest and northeast regions of the Great Qin Kingdom are not many.

Cabinet Prime Minister Zahar then asked: "Our Ice Lion Country is currently in the five northwest provinces and six northeastern provinces of the Great Qin Kingdom. How many troops are there in total?"

Field Marshal David immediately said: "Our army is stationed in the five northwestern provinces of the Great Qin State. Currently, there are one Imperial Guard tank and armored division, ten Imperial Guard mechanized infantry divisions, and 35 garrison infantry divisions, of which 28 are garrison infantry divisions. The divisions are mainly human soldiers. In the six northeastern provinces of the Great Qin State, there are one Imperial Guard Tank Armored Division, twelve Imperial Guard Mechanized Infantry Divisions, and forty Garrison Infantry Divisions, of which thirty Garrison Infantry Divisions are Mainly human soldiers."

Air Force Marshal Vaweli followed up and said: "Our Air Force has more than 230 fighter jets and more than 140 bombers in the five northwestern provinces of the Great Qin State, and more than 250 fighter jets and more than 160 bombers in the six northeastern provinces of the Great Qin State. .”

The words of Field Marshal David and Air Force Marshal Waweli made Cabinet Prime Minister Zahar frowned, "A while ago, didn't the Army and Air Force send more troops to the five northwestern provinces and six northeastern provinces of the Great Qin State? Did you send a lot of troops and fighter planes? Why are there only more than 200 million army troops and less than [-] fighter planes in the five northwestern provinces and six northeastern provinces of the Great Qin State?"

Field Marshal David said with a wry smile: "For the previous battle with the Blood Wolf Kingdom in the southwestern region of Great Qin, our Ministry of the Army transferred most of the troops stationed in the five northwest provinces and six northeastern provinces of Great Qin to the battlefield in the southwest region. , Many of the more than 200 million army troops in the five northwestern provinces and six northeastern provinces of the Great Qin State have been withdrawn from the central area of ​​the Great Qin State."

The Ice Lion Army was originally deployed in the central region to guard against the elite troops of the Yueyang Front Army under Su Yi's command. Because they chose to retreat, the Yueyang Front Army captured Ludong Province, Song'an Province and most of Sui'an Province in the central region. , These elite troops of the Ice Lion Army basically retreated safely into the Northwest and Northeast regions of the Great Qin Kingdom, but some of the elite troops were later transferred to the battlefield in the Southwest.

Air Force Marshal Waweli sighed and said: "Prime Minister, our Air Force has lost more than [-] fighter planes in the southwestern region, some of which were drawn from the northwest and northeast regions of the Great Qin Kingdom. Our Air Force Department has no way to send more fighter planes to the northwest and northeast regions of the Great Qin Kingdom. In the fierce battle with the blood wolf country's air force, our air force of the ice lion country almost lost all blood. .”

Cabinet Prime Minister Zahar frowned even tighter, "Everyone should know the combat effectiveness of the Yueyang Front Army of the Great Qin Kingdom, and the importance of the Northwest and Northeast regions of the Great Qin Kingdom to our Ice Lion Country. With the help of the Army and Air Force With the current strength in the northwest and northeast regions of the Great Qin State, it will be very difficult to block the attack of the Yueyang Front Army. Tell me, how should we go to the Northwest and Northeast regions of the Great Qin State? To increase troops?"

Field Marshal Gullit shook his head and said: "Prime Minister, it is temporarily impossible for the country to send more troops to the northwest and northeast regions of the Great Qin State. The newly formed five domestic mechanized infantry divisions and twenty The garrison infantry division is still in the process of reorganization, and it will take at least a month before it can be brought to the battlefield. It can only draw troops from Yongkang Province and Qiannan Province in the southwest of the Great Qin State, and send troops to the five northwest provinces and six northeastern provinces of the Great Qin State. The province has sent reinforcements."

At this time, Field Marshal Kayano, who had just returned to Ice Lion City from the southwestern part of the Great Qin Kingdom, said in a deep voice: "Our Army of the Ice Lion Kingdom has two guards in Yongkang Province and Qiannan Province in the southwestern part of the Great Qin Kingdom. Tank and armored divisions, 55 guard mechanized infantry divisions and 190 garrison infantry divisions, but many of these units suffered heavy losses in the battle with the blood wolf army and have not been replenished. In addition, we need a large number of troops to receive Yong Kang Province and Qiannan Province are temporarily controlled by the army of the blood wolf country, so we can reinforce the army troops in the five northwestern provinces and six northeastern provinces of the Great Qin Kingdom, and we can't deploy too many troops. After all, we still have to guard against blood wolves in the southwest The Chinese army tore up the armistice treaty."

Originally, the army of the Ice Lion Kingdom only occupied part of Yongkang and Qiannan Provinces, but through the truce agreement signed with the Blood Wolf Country, the Ice Lion Kingdom included all of Yongkang and Qiannan Provinces in its arms.

Air Force Marshal Vaweli shrugged and said: "The situation in our air force is even worse. Unless we deploy a group of fighter planes from the troops defending the Eastern Xiong Kingdom, our air force will not be able to fly to the northwest and northeast regions of the Great Qin Kingdom in a short time. How many additional fighter planes will be dispatched?"

Cabinet Prime Minister Zahar snorted coldly and said, "Should our Ice Lion Country even give up the Northwest and Northeast regions of the Great Qin Kingdom?"

Field Marshal Gullit pondered for a while and said: "Prime Minister, it is impossible for our Ice Lion Country to give up the Northwest and Northeast regions of the Great Qin Kingdom, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to the domestic consortia. Another 200 million recruits will be recruited and directly entered the northwest and northeast regions of the Great Qin State, and then a group of severely damaged troops from Yongkang Province and Qiannan Province in the southwestern region of the Great Qin State will also be transferred to the Northwest Region of the Great Qin State and the Northeast, replenishing these damaged units with another 200 million recruits."

After a pause, Field Marshal Gurritt continued: "In addition, the Ministry of the Army dispatched three Imperial Guard Mechanized Infantry Divisions and seven Garrison Infantry Divisions as soon as possible in the country, and entered the Northwest and Northeast regions of the Great Qin Kingdom for support."

Cabinet Prime Minister Zahar's expression improved a lot when he heard Field Marshal Gullit say, "You all know the power represented by those consortiums in the country. If I go back, not only may my prime minister succeed, but the life of the five marshals will not be easy."

Admiral Mochka suddenly said: "During the battle to defend the northeast of the Great Qin Kingdom, our navy can provide some firepower support for the army in the coastal areas."

The navy of Ice Lions ranks third in the world. It has two large aircraft carriers, three medium-sized aircraft carriers, two small aircraft carriers, ten super dreadnought battleships, ten battlecruisers and sixteen dreadnought battleships. , Almost all of them are in the hands of the Ice Lions Navy.

Field Marshal Gu Li Te nodded and said: "With the support of the navy, at least in the coastal areas in the northeast of Great Qin, our army will be much more relaxed."

Cabinet Prime Minister Zahar then said loudly: "In any case, the Northwest and Northeast regions of the Great Qin Kingdom must not be lost, otherwise even the Yongkang and Qiannan provinces that our Ice Lion Kingdom paid millions of soldiers in exchange for will be lost. It might not be possible.”

Although the military of the Ice Lion Kingdom made a large-scale reinforcement plan in order to keep the Northwest and Northeast regions of the Great Qin Kingdom, the Yueyang Front Army under Su Yi moved too fast. In March 2539 in the divine calendar On the morning of the [-]th, the Yueyang Front Army suddenly launched a large-scale counterattack against the Ice Lion Army in the Northwest and Northeast.

At this time, the additional troops and recruits sent by the Army Department of the Ice Lion Kingdom to the Northwest and Northeast regions of the Great Qin Kingdom have not yet entered the Northwest and Northeast regions.

With the advantage of the air, the Yueyang Front Army marched very fast. The Ice Lion Army troops that resisted the Yueyang Front Army could hardly stop the Yueyang Front Army's attack, especially when facing the Yueyang Front Army's tank and armor units. , and it will collapse at the touch of a button.

In this situation, after a large number of Ice Lion Army troops from Yongkang Province and Qiannan Province entered the northwest region of the Great Qin Kingdom, and some army troops from the Ice Lion Kingdom entered the northeast region of the Great Qin Kingdom, they did not get much attention. Improvement, the Yueyang Front Army is still on the offensive, while the Ice Lion Army in the Northwest and Northeast Regions are constantly retreating, and large areas of the occupied area have been captured by the Yueyang Front Army.
