Macho Wars

Before the first army group was defeated, Kane wanted to commit suicide for a while, but was dissuaded by his subordinates, so he personally led a reserve division from Horn Harbor to fight, just to receive more legion remnants and withdraw to Horn Harbor.

It is also thanks to them fighting ahead and successfully delaying the speed of the pursuit of troops, which gave Dragoon time to reinvigorate the defense work of Horn Harbor.

When Dragoon got in touch with them, Kane’s troops had already lost more than half. They fought bloody battles with the enemy 60 kilometers west of Horn Harbor. Even though the air force from the Horn Harbor continued to reinforce them, Kane’s troops were after all Outnumbered enemies, they delayed for a while but couldn't delay for a lifetime, and the line of defense gradually began to fail.

Aspiring Kane went to the front line to supervise the battle several times, but he ran out of luck and was seriously injured by a mortar.

Knowing the situation of the old partner, Dragon was also sighed.In terms of ability, Kane is definitely not a mediocrity, commanding a division or a corps is no problem, but in the face of a large-scale mutiny of an entire army group, after all, he is incapable.

Dragon asked himself, if he was in the same position at that time, he would be just as helpless and could only watch the situation out of control.

Not long after Kane was seriously injured and sent to the rear, the blocking position was breached by the enemy, and the remnants began to retreat towards Horn Harbor.Behind them was the old opponent, the newly formed Third Corps of the Northwest Army, who had fought dead in the Dolo Mountain Fortress and the First Marine Division.

Although this unit was turned around by Dragoon's coquettish position, after all, it suffered heavy damage to the First Marine Division. Therefore, it was reused after the war and became one of the direct troops of Kharov. Its combat power was in the upper ranks of the Western Army. .At this time, they were acting as vanguards, advancing all the way to Horn Harbor, completely ignorant of an old opponent, waiting for their presence in front of them.

Chapter 578: Race Against Time

After the defeat of the Eastern Empire’s First Army Group, the Western Army’s superiority in strength was already in an absolutely overwhelming position, seven times that of its opponents, but the situation above the sky did not change.

This led to the fact that the speed of pursuit of the Western army was not always up, because they had to deal with frequent air strikes during the day, and they were unbearable to fight them.However, no matter how hard the Air Force planes work hard, they still cannot reverse the fact that their ground forces have failed miserably. The main force of the Western Army completed the encirclement of Horn Harbor after two days.

Harov had previously learned through the intelligence provided by the spies that Dragon and his paratroopers had arrived at Horn Harbor to rectify their defenses. The vanguard of the task force also arrived this morning and is currently cruising in the open sea. It can provide fire support to the troops defending the port area at any time.

But these are not enough to stop Kharov’s footsteps, because Dragoon’s disadvantage is not only in the disparity in strength between the two sides, but also in the lack of defensive depth of the defenders against the sea. Their final territory is already small. Land of bullets left.Moreover, the troops that have just experienced a large-scale defeat are the most vulnerable period. Millions of panicked refugees will make the whole city shrouded in a strong panic atmosphere.Even with the support of the navy and air force, it will inevitably be collapsed.

Harov didn’t believe that Dragon could restore the fighting will of the group of soldiers who had been turned into rabbits by them in just one day. This kind of almost miraculous thing, even Howard could not do, so He very proudly issued an ultimatum to the defenders.

"Near you are also a famous general, surrender obediently!"

The facts are exactly as Kharov thought. Although the tens of thousands of defeated soldiers in the city barely completed the reorganization and were brought back to the front line of defense, their morale was not fully recovered, and there was a serious lack of heavy weapons on hand.

In the previous defeat, the First Army Group lost almost all its weapons and luggage. Many soldiers ran back to the beach empty-handed.There is no shortage of rifles and bullets in the city’s arsenal, but there are not many artillery.

Therefore, Dragon’s defensive deployment was almost entirely bounded by the effective range of naval naval guns and military port fortress guns, and had to actively abandon part of the city.

Fortunately, Dragon’s purpose is clear, that is, to gain time for the 2.3 million people gathered in Horn Harbor.For this reason, they have collected all available ships in the port area, and plan to transport the people stranded in Horn Harbor to several islands 30 kilometers away from the sea, and use this as a transit point to transfer to Teddy Island.

Since the small islands that serve as transfer stations are not far from the port, the sea conditions are relatively good, and there are no strong winds or waves. Therefore, even the small sampans of several meters can easily travel between the two places, which greatly improves the refugees’ lives. Transfer efficiency.

For the Eastern Army, which has absolute control over the air and the sea, although they are about to lose their last foothold on the mainland, they are safe as long as they go out to sea.

With their current speed of transfer, Dragon is expected to send all refugees out of Horn Harbor within a week.He also ordered the engineers to collect materials on the spot, use welded metal pontoons, airbags and wooden boards to make a simple large floating platform, and then tow it with a tug.

A 10x10 floating platform can carry 80-100 people at a time, and a small tugboat can pull a large number of them at a time, and dozens of them can set off together.

These floating platforms look very rudimentary, floating on the surface of the sea, swaying and swaying very unstable. Many people will be frightened just standing up, and their faces become pale, but in order to escape the coming war, everyone still He gritted his teeth and jumped up, then tremblingly lay on the wooden board, not daring to move!

Looking at the densely packed fish-like ships on the sea, Dragon couldn't help feeling a sigh in his heart.The distance of more than 30 kilometers is really not that far for those ships of more than 100 tons, and it takes about one and a half hours to go back and forth.

But for those simple floating platforms and small boats, the road is still full of dangers, and a little bit bigger wind and waves may cause terrible tragedies.There are more than 2.3 million refugees, and no one can estimate how many people will become an unfortunate minority.

Just as Dragon was thinking about things in a trance, Tafi knocked on the door and came in, reporting to him the progress of the deployment of the outer defense line, and at the same time handing the third letter of persuasion sent by Kharov to Dragon for review.

This little army god on the opposite side may be out of fear of Dragon, or the preparatory preparations for the offensive have not yet been prepared, and less than a day has passed, he sent three letters of persuasion to surrender. The enlistment made a wish and coerced to persuade Dragon to give up those futile struggles, and surrender as soon as possible is their only chance to survive.

Dragon opened the telegram casually and glanced at it, and couldn't help laughing a little.

"This Harov came from the Northwest Military Region. Who doesn't know that his family is known as the four big steel daughters. Let me marry his youngest daughter. I would rather use my face to pick up cloud bombs!"

He casually rubbed the persuasive book into a ball of paper and threw it into the trash can. Before the opponent's offensive had officially started, Dragon sat down on the sofa and took the time to rest.In the past half month, he averaged less than three hours of sleep a day. Had it not been for his youth and strength, he would have become immortal.

Seeing that Dragon was about to close his eyes and rest his mind, Tafe who had finished reporting and didn't want to disturb him was about to turn around and leave, but Dragon grabbed her hand and then pulled it into his arms with a light pull.

With the tyrannical physique of Tafi’s demon warrior, ordinary people dared to pull and pull at her so frivolously. She was squeezed up like the Hulk threw Thor and Loki, and smashed into a big hole back and forth, but because The person pulling her was Dragon, and the moment they touched their hands, Tafe became soft from the inside out.

"Sir, sir?"

"Shhh, don't make a noise, let me hug for a while."

Embracing Tafi’s full body, which is not soft but very elastic, tilted his head and directly rested on the opponent’s chest, carefully experiencing the warmth transmitted through his shirt. .

The two had a breakthrough in their relationship since their last relationship. Although they had no chance to let go of themselves together because of their busy military affairs, whenever Dragoon felt mentally exhausted, they would take the initiative to relax with Tafe through intimate physical contact like this.

Tafee was a little uncomfortable or shy at first, but he didn't hate it at all in his heart, and gradually began to enjoy it.

However, just as the two were immersed in the rare two-person time, to relieve the mental stress caused by the cruel war, the sound of a cannon broke the tranquility, and then the guns blasted in the northwest of the city, and the shaking buildings were all slightly Trembling.

Dragon couldn't help sighing, and reluctantly let go of Tafi, got up to tidy up his clothes, his expression also became serious in an instant, his eyes sharp and firm, and he changed back to the look of a soldier trusted by his men.

"Let's go, let's do something that should be done."

Chapter 579: Speculators

After Kharov's general offensive began, his huge military advantage allowed him to launch a massive and comprehensive offensive, which would directly bloom on all the defending lines.

Although Horn Harbor has more than 20 powerful large-caliber fortress guns and naval fleets to provide fire support offshore, the number of conventional guns on the defending side is seriously insufficient, only one-fifth of the enemy’s. As a result, the limited firepower support cannot cover every battlefield.

It is precisely because of this that Kharov knew this, so as soon as his troops and heavy equipment were in place, he immediately launched the seemingly brainless pig assault method.What is needed is a quick fix, without giving Dragon any opportunity to engage in harassment.

At the same time, in the New World colonies, the cabinet government just received the bad news of the failure of "Operation Overlord." These senior cabinet officials who were far from the front were shocked first, and then furiously incompetent.

Why are you ×!?Why did it fail!

In a total attack that concentrated all the power, the two famous generals Howard and Dragon came to the front line to take command. They played so smoothly in the early stage, but they fell short at the last moment when they saw that they were about to succeed. The nobles and bureaucrats who had high hopes in the First World War felt unacceptable from their hearts.

Some people blamed the five princes who surrendered the blame and scolded this courageous coward.Some people took the opportunity to attack Dragon, suspecting that he was deliberately releasing water.The reason is that the Second Army Group landed from the southeast coast, and it took five and a half days for the long-distance attack for thousands of kilometers. As a result, it took 13 days for the Emperor to be defeated.

This group of high-level politicians are arguing endlessly in the government conference room. Some people want to push the pot, and some people are taking advantage of the chaos to pour dirty water on their political opponents. On the contrary, it is how to deal with the current difficulties. , Has become something nobody cares about.

Looking at the chaotic conference room like a vegetable market, Chief Minister of the Interior Latuk has been silent and indifferent, without making any comments.

The civil war in the empire has been fought so far, and the war potential in the east can be said to have been completely exhausted.In the past year, although they have brought industrialization to the colony at a speed that is almost facilitating through local blood transfusions, they have also squeezed the entire colony to the utmost extent, preparing for the counterattack that they have high hopes for.

In order to raise funds, the cabinet government has successively issued war bonds with a total of more than two billion gold coins, which has put the finances on the verge of bankruptcy.As a result, the war is now defeated, and all their previous efforts have been wasted.

After the cabinet government received the news, even the young emperor and the queen mother dared not tell, let alone tell the world, let those people who bought war bonds know.

However, it is impossible to conceal it, not to mention that the defeated army will soon withdraw to the rear, and the spies who are hiding among the people will not miss this great opportunity. They must take the opportunity to make trouble and create panic among the colonial people. mood.

For the cabinet government, this will be a life-and-death crisis. The scapegoat is definitely necessary, but it must not be the influential senior generals in the army.Because this group of Qiu Ba has two periods that they can't provoke, one is when they win a battle, and the other is when they lose.If the cabinet really urges them, and they turn to Firavi, there will be nothing!

Judging from the current situation, the first-line battlefield defeat for the mainland has been determined, and the Eastern Empire has lost the final counterattack opportunity, leaving them with only two options.

The first is to surrender actively, acknowledging that Felavi is the true ruler and the only emperor of the Sidney Empire, and praying for his forgiveness.But judging from the various performances of Firavi after seizing the imperial capital, this is not a soft-hearted lord. Their vote of anti-thief fell into his hands, and whether they can live to continue to talk about it.

Another option is to follow the example of the Wieland Kingdom back then, simply carry the division to the end, and support the young emperor to form a new country in the colony of the New World.When the cabinet government changes, everyone will be the "founding fathers"!

But the founding of the nation is not a trivial matter after all. They must at least persuade the royal family and get the support of the army.After all, the previous civil war was to fight for orthodoxy, even if the two sides fought no matter how fierce they were, they all considered themselves to be Sidneys.And once a new country is established, it is a blatant split in nature.
