Macho Wars

But the side effect is that the pen pal club of the eldest prince has rapidly expanded its influence among the officers of the Northwest Military District. Howard is not completely ignorant of this, but after all, this time is not the other time, so these young people are left alone.

The result is now all right. It is these people who have responded to the call of the prince. The two legions add up to 100,000 people, and the starry night rushes to the capital.

If the opponent is allowed to jump straight up like this, the Central Army and civilians who are evacuating to the coast will be cut off by them, and the main rebel forces led by Firavi will divide and surround the Central Army with hundreds of thousands of troops.When the forces on both sides fight, it will inevitably be difficult to take care of ordinary civilians, exposing the innocent to the intensive gunfire.

Dragon couldn't help but sit back and watch such a human tragedy happen.

"William, take the map and call the communications team over!"

Directly ordered the troops to stop advancing, Dragon got into the jeep and opened the map. According to the intelligence, the current positions of the two rebel armies were marked on the map, and they quickly deduced their course of travel.

The other side is still in the neighboring province. The local second-line troops did not dare to fight with these intrepid field troops, but they destroyed many railways and bridges in the province first, and forced the rebels to abandon convenient and efficient rail transportation. Get out of the car and drive on their own, which greatly reduced their marching speed.

But even so, the opponent is still two days away from them. The motorized Marine First Division may have run away, but the others here may not be.

At this time, the Central Army’s Supreme Command once again sent an urgent call, and Dragon took a look, with a very complicated smile on his face.

The content of the message was very brief. It ordered Dragon to lead the First Marine Division to rush to the fortress of Mount Doro, 20 kilometers away to the north, and rely on local permanent fortifications to block the rebels for 48 hours at all costs to fight for the retreat. time.

The Doro Mountain Fortress is located in the middle of the plain area to the east of the Imperial Capital. It is said to be a mountain, but it is actually a mound less than 50 meters above sea level. The slope is also very gentle, so in terms of terrain, there is no danger. .But this position is very important. It is above the main traffic throat and is the only place through which the rebels advance from north to south.

no doubt!The decision of the Supreme Command was correct. Dragon calculated it in his heart. If he only blocked the enemy for 48 hours, he would have full confidence in the capabilities of the First Marine Division. But the key question is how to retreat after 48 hours?

The plan given by the superiors was to send the 71st Division of the Central Army to respond. They would garrison to the right rear of the First Marine Division to cooperate and cover the retreat of the First Marine Division.

Although Dragon is not very trustworthy of the 71st Division, especially their teacher who has always looked at him unhappy-Bandy Roswell.However, the situation is urgent now, and there is not much time left for them to prepare, so they can no longer care about it.

On the other side of the imperial capital, with the continuous retreat of the Central Army, nearly two-thirds of the imperial capitals have fallen into the hands of the rebels.While commanding the troops to continue pursuing, Firawi drew part of his troops to form a "strike force" and searched for nobles and officials in the imperial capital according to the anti-revolutionary list.

Many aristocrats who had been lucky and didn't flee with others did not finally understand that the grand prince's grand prince didn't mean anything to joke until the soldiers with guns rushed into their homes.

Killing can't solve the problem, but killing can solve the person who caused the problem!

From the very beginning, Firawi was not prepared to follow his father’s old path and wrangled with the corrupt and old nobles, taking advantage of the current turmoil and execution, waiting for him to take the throne, how much time and energy can be saved on business !

Under his instruction, a large number of nobles in the imperial capital were dragged to the square. The cold-faced officers read out a brief verdict in public, and then executed the execution on the spot.In order to show justice, they also forced nearby residents to come and watch.

These ordinary civilians were very scared at first. Seeing the soldiers killing people in the street, they pulled up and shot them in batches. The bodies were piled up like small hills in a short while, each shivering with fright, for fear that it would be their turn next.

But they soon discovered that most of the targets executed were nobles or officials who worked for the nobles. The grievances accumulated on weekdays gradually overwhelmed the fear in their hearts, so some people began to applaud the shooting. This kind of revenge And the pleasure that was generated crazily spread among the onlookers.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Long live the prince! My emperor Philavi!"

The fanaticism was ignited by the killing. People praised Firavi, then picked up the bricks and stones on the ground and smashed them on the nobles who had died or were about to die. The soldiers who maintained order at the scene were not at all. To stop.

Soon, the nobles on the execution list were finished, and those who were arrested but did not go out for shooting were gathered on the square to listen to Firavi's sentence.All of them were deprived of their noble status and 90% of their property, immediately demoted to civilians, and expelled from the imperial capital within a limited time.

Hearing the result of the verdict, thousands of aristocratic groups were all shocked, and after a short silence, bursts of extremely miserable wailing broke out.Some people tried to beg, but before they could speak, they were hit by the soldiers' rifle butts, and their faces were covered with blood.

Using a simple and rude but extremely effective method, Firavi dealt with more than 70% of the nobles in the imperial capital in just three days.Those who can survive this catastrophe are either fans who have supported Firavi before, or talented people who are extremely prestigious and have been pardoned by Firavi.

While cleaning up these old forces, Filavi also made a wish to the young officers who followed him that on the day he was enthroned, he would never treat them "good officials" who fought for the future of the empire!

Chapter 433: A Small Bomb

The Fortress of Duoruo Mountain, with the arrival of the First Marine Division, this defensive facility, which originally had only one second-line infantry company responsible for daily maintenance, suddenly became lively.

Dragoon didn't care to rest, and when he came over, he took a map to survey the terrain around the fortress.In the next few days, he will bring more than 15,000 people from the First Landing Division to stop the two legions of nearly 100,000 rebels, and insist on at least forty-eight hours. The pressure can be said to be unprecedented.

Not only do they have to guard the fortress, but they have to drag the enemy to death, so putting all the troops in the fortress is not enough, and it is easy to get trapped inside and be trapped by the enemy alive.

Dragon reviewed his own capital. The First Marine Division had three motorized infantry regiments, an armored regiment, an artillery regiment, and a number of logistics support groups. There were also two land-sea-based aviation groups, totaling forty. Four fighters of various types.

The engineers have built a field airport about 70 kilometers south of the fortress. As long as the aviation unit receives an order, it can reach the battlefield in 15 minutes and provide strong air support to the First Marine Division.

So Dragon studied the terrain and made the following deployment.

Because the fortress is surrounded by an open plain, there are neither dangerous mountains nor turbulent rivers, so apart from the fortress on the hill, there is no dangerous place nearby to rely on.Therefore, Dragon ordered the engineers to blow up a small reservoir seven or eight miles to the east, deliberately diverting water into the plain area, forming a large muddy swamp, and then deploying the troops along the mire.

Looking at the muddy land washed by the flood, Dragon couldn’t help thinking, fortunately, the fortress was surrounded by military land within a dozen kilometers. The place where the flood washed by the flood did not contain civilians and no farmland. Otherwise, wait for war. Later, he must be scolded to death by the locals.

After the floods washed away, the First Marine Division immediately began to build positions, while the air force, based on squadrons, went to carry out air strikes against the rebels one after another, doing everything possible to delay the opponent's march.

Dragun also specifically urged Yunlong to focus their air strikes on the enemy's heavy and artillery units, and throw bombs on them as much as possible.

Air raid operations officially started after dawn. The first wave of deployments was the largest. There were two squadrons of eight Feiyan II fighters. Regardless of the roadbed aviation or the carrier-based aviation that landed, the Feiyan Haiyan they currently use were upgraded. The Type II, which can carry large aerial bombs or multiple rockets, has a fairly mature ground attack capability. Four of them fly in the front for lead reconnaissance, and the other four fly with eight Jaegers in the rear. The dive bomber and four pelican-style medium-sized transport aircraft that were temporarily modified and appeared as horizontal bombers, the entire flight formation was code-named "Paramecium."

After the formation was lifted off, Yunlong flew to the front of the formation. Through the rearview mirror, the 16-plane formation at the rear could see her excited, but when she thought that they would drop the bomb on her family’s head next. , I felt quite uncomfortable.

Although Yunlong was born in the Zhibodan Islands, Longgong Shrine has an irreplaceable position in her mind, but after all, it is her family.

Although the empire used force to occupy her hometown, it also opened the door to the outside world for the islands that have been isolated from the world, just like the sages who founded the shrine.Therefore, Yunlong, like many witches sent from outside Dragon Palace Island, gradually developed a sense of identity with the empire that brought them a new life.It's a pity that this country could not escape the disputes caused by power and greed in the end, which burned the flames of war on itself.

Yunlong doesn't understand politics, and is not interested in those intrigues. She only knows that her beloved man is fighting on the ground and needs her help. The reason to support her fight is enough!

One hour after the flying formation took off, the reconnaissance aircraft in front reported that they finally found the rebel troops on the road about three kilometers west of the formation. The size of the opponent is estimated to be about one battalion, with dozens of motor vehicles. There are tanks.

After Yunlong heard this, he deduced that the target should be the leading soldiers of the rebels, who were responsible for exploring the way in front of the large forces, and the main force of the rebels should not be far behind them.

So Yunlong ordered the reconnaissance plane to ignore these cutting-edge soldiers and continue to go north. Their primary target is the enemy's heavy troops. The cluster incendiary bombs loaded on the four Pelican transport planes are specially prepared for this "gift"!

The rebels on the ground themselves also found the fighters passing by in the air, but their border guards from the Northwest Military Region obviously lacked an intuitive understanding of this new equipment, thinking that the fighters that had just flown by were just a general reconnaissance unit and did not take too much care. .The bombing formation also deliberately avoided them, and the two sides did not meet at all.

At this time, the northwestern rebels had no idea what they were about to encounter. Due to the deliberate sabotage of the local second-line troops, they could not use the railway line to directly reach the planned location and cut off the back road of the central faction. Get off at a train station in a small county.

The problem with the soldiers on the car is not that big. As long as the car stops anywhere, people can get off, but the heavy equipment and supplies they pull are different. The limited loading and unloading capacity of the county station instantly exploded!Thousands of vehicles of various types and hundreds of thousands of tons of ammunition materials are backlogged at the station, waiting to be unloaded.

The rebel generals still had some air defense awareness, knowing that the station was full of people, vehicles, and materials, which could easily cause air strikes, so the air defense forces were given priority to unload, and dense air defense circles were set up around the station.But the heavy antiaircraft artillery and ammunition they used were designed specifically for airships, and they did not pose a serious threat to combat mechanisms.

If you haven't really faced it before, you can't form an intuitive concept after all!

Soon, under the guidance of the reconnaissance plane, the bombing formation managed to reach the sky above the station in the county seat. When they lowered their altitude, they emerged from the cumulonimbus cloud. The soldiers on the ground who were busy unloading the train were all caught by the strangeness of the aviation engine. Attracted by his roar, he stopped to look up at the strange "birds" in the sky.

The surrounding air defense forces responded quickly. Although their officers hadn't seen what the plane looked like before, they had always heard the description of this new type of equipment from the newspaper broadcast, so they knew that it was a "puppet emperor". The running dog decisively ordered the antiaircraft artillery to open fire.

However, dozens of heavy antiaircraft guns with slow firing speeds simply cannot support an effective air defense firepower net. Their firing has attracted the suppression of the escort fighters. Yunlong led the team directly down, using 50 kg of small aviation bombs and The upgraded 500-point machine guns slammed them.

At this time, the bombing formation had entered the bombing position. The eight Jaeger dive bombers and four Pelican transport planes mounted at full capacity dropped hundreds of bombs and fifty barrels of aviation fuel all at once, and then swaggered. Turned around and left, and the station turned into a blazing sea of ​​fire amid a series of dense explosions...

Chapter 434

After dropping the bombs and oil drums, the bombing formation did not immediately turn around and leave.On one of the pelican transport planes, the crew was holding a camera to take aerial photos of the ground. From a bird's-eye view from above, the bomb fell like a blooming flower, and the flower clusters of flames engulfed half of the station in an instant.

The rebels from the northwest had never encountered such an air attack. The air defense nets they deployed were useless in front of the opponent, and the artillery shells could not hit those aircraft.Because even the slowest transport aircraft has a speed of more than two hundred kilometers per hour, a fighter jet can exceed four hundred in a single breath while diving!

The air defense gunner on the ground had never hit a target at this speed before, and before he estimated the firing advance, he was blown out by a fighter jet.
