Macho Wars

Felavi didn't know until afterwards that the commander of the 25th Division had secretly sent someone to get in touch with the eleventh prince the day before the incident.The opponent wanted to reconcile inside and out, open a gap in the defense line, draw the prince's army into the city, and take advantage of the trend to take the entire imperial capital.

His plan of action was to flank the 1st Marine Division with the 22nd Division that was facing each other.This unit has quite good combat effectiveness. The deputy commander Dragon is highly regarded by Howard. In addition, he has been engaged to the eleventh princess Alicia. He is the brother-in-law of the young emperor, and it is very likely that he will do it for his brother-in-law. Fight to the end with other princes, so it's best to take advantage of it and defeat them first!

In the view of the commander of the 25th Division, the First Marine Division is indeed very capable. The officers and soldiers are well-trained and well equipped, but his troops are not bad.

The main reason why he failed so badly in the previous exercise was that the opponent's tactics were too shameless and did not play cards according to the routine.

And now he is the first to strike first, and with the cooperation of the 22nd Division, the winning rate of this battle will have to be 50-50, right?

So with such a "confidence", the 25th Division took the initiative to go up, but only in the past four hours they played GG!

It turned out that their small movements had already been noticed by the First Marine Division before the 25th Division started.When they first set up their defensive positions, Dragon told the people below not to trust the so-called "friends" too much, and the adjacent left-wing positions must be prepared.

The reason for this arrangement is that Dragon is worried that the friendly forces will be unreliable. Once they really fight with the rebels, when the battle conditions fall into a stalemate, they cannot completely count on the friendly forces to protect their flanks.

Therefore, the First Marine Division deployed the independent regiment as the absolute main force on the left flank of the defense, while the Second Infantry Battalion was the leftmost flank. The trenches they dug were simply facing the direction of the 25th Division.

Major Frank, who led the 2nd Battalion, thought at first that there would be nothing wrong with facing this direction, but on the morning of the 26th, the scouts he dispersed reported back that the 25th Division on the opposite side was a bit wrong.

Frank noticed the abnormality and immediately reported it to his superiors. At the same time, he ordered the company stationed at the first line of defense to retreat to the second line to urgently strengthen the ability of the second line of defense to resist shelling.

These measures of his finally proved to be effective. When the infantry of the two battalions of the 25th Division attacked their positions under the cover of artillery fire, the second battalion launched a full-line counterattack at the most appropriate time without hesitation. !

Chapter 414 The Emperor's Mutiny

Between the positions of the First Marine Division and the 25th Division, there was a long and narrow depression about 800 meters wide and 4 kilometers long. The terrain was rugged and uneven, and there were many mud pools formed by stagnant water, which was not conducive to the development of mechanized troops. .Therefore, the two troops coincidentally took this section as the boundary and deployed their own positions on both sides.

At the beginning of the attack, the 25th Division dispatched two battalions of light infantry to quickly pass through the depression under the cover of a large amount of artillery fire. It can be said that just two minutes after the overhead shells stopped, they rushed to the forward position of the second battalion.

If they were replaced by ordinary Imperial Army troops, if they suffered such a sudden unpreparedness, they would be destroyed in all likelihood, but it was a pity that they encountered the Marines.The surprise attack was spotted early.Therefore, as soon as the two infantry battalions participating in the assault climbed up from the depression, they were kicked back into the ditch by the second battalion that immediately launched a counterattack.

In just four hours, the First Marine Division, which had to guard against the frontal rebel forces, successfully counterattacked with only six battalions and less than one and a half regiments.

Two regiments on the left wing of the 25th Division were hit hard one after another, causing the division to be exposed.Seeing that he was about to be "heart-cut by the black tiger," the commander of the 25th Division chose to retreat from his heart.But due to the rush of action and the fierce fighting of the Marines, the retreat quickly became a chain rout because of the chaos, and it was finally overwhelming.

The officers and soldiers of the 25th Division who were beaten up in the circle did not realize sadly until then that the real reason why they were hanged by the First Marine Division in the actual military exercise was not as self-comforting, but because they were not used to the other side. Routines, but real dishes!

But compared to my own unit that looks like a pile of sand, what makes the 25th division's senior executives vomiting blood is that the 22nd division of the rebels, which had previously said that they would attack together, shamefully let go of the pigeons and watched them. Was beaten up.

This is mainly because the 22nd Division does not trust them who take the initiative to rely on them, and worry that this may be a "phishing law enforcement", the purpose is to trick them into doing it first, so that the prince group loses morality in this conflict. .

So they deliberately postponed the attack, and observed secretly from the side. As a result, they saw the battle situation on the opposite side... It really was really acting!

In their view, the 25th Division is the first-class main division of the Central Military Region at any rate, not to mention the top-notch equipment and personnel quality, at least first-class.Although the Opposite Marine Division I was a well-known new ace, at least the paper data did not open a too obvious gap.

However, the 22nd Division from the inland border obviously lacked an intuitive understanding of the First Marine Division.This fledgling amphibious unit took part in the Far East War a year ago. The dozens of battles, large and small, were all tough battles, and they were transferred back to the country for rehabilitation once the frontal war was over. They were not used to deal with the later security wars. Accumulated a wealth of practical experience, morale and will are also very high.

After returning home, the Marine Corps received priority supplies of troops and equipment. After a short half-year recuperation and running-in, the troops can be said to be at their peak.

Since the Marine Corps defeated the 25th Division that was sneaking up in a very short time with only a small amount of force, the 22nd Division on the front did not take any action until the end, but reported the situation here and handed it to the princes. To decide, it was the central government that exploded.

The two forces belonging to the Central Military Region suddenly fought their own people and sent electricity to the central government almost at the same time, claiming that the other party had defected and they were forced to fight back.The high-level leaders of the central government are so big as a fight for a while, and they can't tell who is the "fighting" wolf?

However, they soon discovered that this was just the beginning. When they started, it was like a "beating cup", and there were mutinies around the imperial capital.One less company, one more division, less than three to fifty thousand people.

The Imperial Capital was plunged into unprecedented chaos, and many rebel forces tried to attack the palace and many important government sites.They did not hesitate to engage in fierce exchanges of fire with the Janissaries in the streets, even using heavy weapons such as tanks and cannons.

The military building was naturally attacked by the rebels. The troops who attacked them came from a nearby military camp, which was as many as half a battalion.The military’s security force had only a reinforced platoon of forty men, and soon after nearly a third of them were killed, they were forced to withdraw into the building to resist.

Seeing that hundreds of rebels surrounded the military building from all sides, and two cannons were set up on the front street, and they began to bombard the building, many generals and civilians in the building panicked.They thought that they were in the center of the empire, and they could only contact the war through written documents in this life, but at this moment, the gunpowder smoke is close at hand, and the strong bloody atmosphere stimulates the nerves of everyone here.

Seeing the building trembling under the shelling, rebel soldiers might rush in and kill them at any time, and the generals in the building were also in disagreement due to panic.Some people advocate dialogue with the rebels and use their best skills to find a way to stabilize the opponent. Others propose to hide in underground air-raid shelters and close the one-foot-thick metal gates to wait for reinforcements.

Dragon did not participate in the dispute between these people. As soon as the attack began, he led someone to cover Kane out of the office.A few hours ago, when they received that their troops were surrounded by friendly forces, Dragon had a premonition that the imperial capital was a huge gunpowder keg. Once the city was fought, the inside of the city would definitely be chaotic.

as expected!Within half an hour of the 25th Division's reversal, more twenty-five cubs appeared like dog urine after the rain.

So Dragon and Kane used the high-power guided communication machine in the military building to command the troops remotely. At the same time, they called home and asked Tafi to connect everyone to the military building.As a result, as soon as they arrived here, the rebels outside hit the door.

Dragon immediately took his family to Howard's office, opened the secret road that the chief executive walked that day, and let them hide in the palace through this secret road.Although it is the main target of the rebels, it is also the safest place in the entire imperial capital.As long as Alicia is there, the palace will take them in.

Dragon quickly explained to everyone present. At this time, his service officer William ran in and brought Dragon a set of weapons and equipment. Alicia saw this scene and immediately understood everything. .

"My dear, won't you go with us?"

"I'm a soldier anyhow, I will be laughed at when I escape."

"But it's too dangerous here, I..."

Before Alicia finished speaking, Dragon went straight up and blocked the rest of the words with his lips, while Fumi and Yunlong, who had lived and died with Dragon many times, silently stepped forward and kissed themselves in turn. Lover.

Only Tafimu stood there blankly. She really didn't understand why her mother insisted on stab her back in the back at this time.

Chapter 415: It's About Dignity

The unrest in the city was not premeditated, but a chain reaction triggered by the 25th Division's rebellion.As early as the death of King Sidney XIV, a small riot broke out in the imperial capital because of the new emperor's accession to the throne. Many nobles and generals who secretly supported other princes could not accept this result.

Fortunately, Howard came back in time at the time. Although he could not prevent the death of the Senate, at least temporarily restrained those who wanted to make trouble.

However, no matter how prestigious Howard is, he is not the emperor of this country after all.During the decades of Sidney XIV’s reign, Howard was always under one person. Some people respected him as a role model for his courtiers, but others were jealous of his power, and they were ambitiously planning how to replace it and change the dynasty. It's an opportunity.

Therefore, when the guns fired from the 25th Division, people from all walks of life had different minds and those who fished in troubled waters, suddenly this city, which was already on the verge of an outbreak, was in chaos, making the central high-level officials helpless.

On the side of the military building, Dragon immediately began to organize manpower to defend on the spot after sending his family into the secret passage.Although there are only a dozen civilians in the Marine Corps around him at the moment, all of them have received a full set of military training and can pick up weapons at any time and use them as combatants.

Coupled with the remaining guards and civilians willing to take part in the battle, Dragon will soon have more than a hundred soldiers available!

At this time, the rebels outside were shelling the building, one after another, and the building buzzed and trembled.But this eight-story building was built in full accordance with the fortress standards, and the two 50-war anti-cannons of the rebels were fired up, which was just shaking off some dust.

Seeing that the two war defense artillery bombarded the building's outer wall with no effect, the rebels immediately dropped their guns and aimed at the closed military gate.

But at this moment, a light flashed suddenly in a window on the front of the building, and then a blood flower burst on the chest of the rebel officer who was commanding the artillery, and he fell straight down with a look of astonishment. .

Limited by the terrain of the city, the two war defense guns were forced to mount guns only two hundred meters away from the front of the military building.The rebel officers responsible for commanding them cheered up the artillery, deliberately standing like a flag, hoping to use their courage to boost the morale of their subordinates.

It's a pity that he didn't wait for him to pass on his courage, and a bullet resulted in his fragile life.

Watching the target fall to the ground on the spot, Tafee calmly reloaded, and then quickly moved to another room before the enemy found his position.

At the same time, in the lobby on the first floor, when Dragon arrived with the people, only the general Kane was left in the lobby, including the other generals who stayed behind with the Supreme Commander.Seeing Dragon, Kane said to him with a wry smile.

"Brother, fortunately you weren't here just now. I suddenly understand why your kid always digs guns on people's heads."

"What happened? How about them?"

"Under our feet, we are all going to be a tortoise. But whether the gang of bastards are gone, I take the opportunity to come over."

"Ha! That's great news."
