Chapter 533 Chapter 533
forward!This was the thought in the minds of all the soldiers of the Tang army who had broken through the positions of the Qi army. They moved forward desperately, occupying one village after another, and taking one pass after another.

Behind them, the soldiers of the Qi army, who had no support at all, had to face a very embarrassing situation: they seemed to be unable to block the hole that the Tang army had enlarged circle after circle.

No matter how many troops they gathered on the two wings of the Tang army, there was no way for the soldiers of the Tang army to retreat. Even the countless attacks of the Qi army did not even touch the edge of the Tang army's position.

What makes people feel ironic is that most of the fortifications that the Tang army relied on were built by the Qi army. The Tang army only slightly modified them and used them directly.

"Those damned Tang Guo Air Force! Every time they attack, they will come to make trouble!" The third prince complained angrily in his bunker.

As far as he could see, the Tang Army's Stuka dive bomber dropped from the sky again and dropped a bomb into the assembled troops of the Qi Army, causing massive casualties in an instant.

An infantry regiment that had just assembled to launch an attack, scattered in an instant, and no longer had the courage to attack.

In fact, the casualties caused by the air force were not high. Even the aerial bomb just now killed only twenty or thirty soldiers.

But it was such a desperate killing and passive beating with no room for retaliation that made all Qi commanders despair.No matter how much they encouraged their soldiers, they could no longer cheer them up.

The scream from hell that lingered like a necrosis became a kind of curse. As long as it sounded on the battlefield, the soldiers of Qi State would collapse and return in defeat without even looking back.

Even if this kind of bombing can only cause a small number of casualties, who wants to be one of the few?
"We don't have any good solutions. Almost all the heavy artillery in the theater has been destroyed. The enemy is moving towards our hinterland. We have no way to stop the opponent's advance!" A military officer reported from the Third Prince Hui of Qi State.

The third prince clenched his fists, very annoyed by the situation in front of him, but he didn't have any good solution.

Only just now did he know that the commander of the Qi infantry division on the broken-through area was captured, and a military headquarters behind the position also lost contact.

Just judging from the map, Qi's position has been penetrated by the Tang army, and the Tang army is even advancing further.

There are not many Qi troops stationed in those places. If Qi's main force cannot stop the advance of the Tang army, what else can stop the Tang army?

The answer is supplies!
In fact, most of Tang Jun's troops have been forced to stop attacking. The armored troops that broke through the fastest are waiting for their own fuel and ammunition, and waiting for the covering infantry to catch up.

The road was full of prisoners from the Qi State, and the scale was so large that it could not even be seen at a glance.The number of captives was being counted everywhere, and the approximate estimate was more than 3.

Most of these prisoners were not even disarmed, and some were even still living in the barracks where they were originally stationed.

It's just that they have already surrendered and gave up fighting. They watched in numbness the soldiers of the Tang Army passing by their defense line in a car.

Before, there were sporadic artillery fire from Qi State harassing the breach, but as the breach expanded, the place became quieter and busier.

Truck after truck of soldiers from the Tang Army covered truckloads of ammunition and truckloads of fuel and moved forward. The engineers and soldiers drove forward with full horsepower, filling in trenches and building roads.

Within 2 hours of breaking through the defense line, a road had already penetrated the Qi defense line, and a large amount of supplies began to cross the border and chase the advancing armored troops.

But even so, most of these supplies were late because of the poor road conditions, inaccurate maps, and scattered unorganized resistance encountered halfway.

Almost all the supplies that were expected to arrive were more than an hour late, and this was barely completed when the logistics team tried their best to catch up with the progress.

In order to ensure that the front-line armored forces have enough fuel and ammunition to continue to move forward at a fast pace, at least one-fifth of the vehicles of the logistics support group lay down on the way.

In many places, the Qi State's rout soldiers who were blocking the road had to be driven into the fields to barely ensure the passage of the Tang Army's mechanized troops.

Seeing self-propelled artillery and a mess of vehicles passing in front of them, the soldiers who surrendered in Qi State realized how different the equipment of the two sides was.

This war has just begun, and Tang Jun has shown a completely different combat mode to the world.Under the cover of the aircraft, thousands of Tang army troops rushed into the territory of Qi State in an almost chaotic manner, chasing each other.

On the night when the battle broke out, the 1st Armored Division of the Tang Army advanced 110 kilometers, which is simply the speed of rushing.

At the same time, the 2nd Armored Division also advanced 100 kilometers forward. The two troops, one on the left and one on the right, had already threatened Nanye, an important town in the south of Qi.

What is even more shocking is that these two armored divisions are not the only ones advancing fast. The 3rd Armored Division has killed 95 kilometers all the way north, completely blocking the direction of the flanking Dahua Empire.

The 4th Armored Division also killed 81 kilometers to the east. Although the advance distance was much shorter, it was obvious that this force was about to encircle the entire defense area of ​​the third prince.

Following these three troops into the theater, there are two mechanized infantry divisions and two ordinary infantry divisions. These troops are now divided into chaotic divisions throughout the theater.

Although it seems that only 8 divisions are attacking, these troops have penetrated deep into the hinterland of Qi, and the war has become a dynamic mode, which is unfamiliar to all countries in the world.

No one knew how to fight such a war, and no one knew how to stop the Tang army who had already started running.

The second-hand Tang army that ran two years ago, which is the main force of Northridge, the Gemelin Kingdom, is already unstoppable, let alone the real Tang army that is now equipped with more cars and tanks, and has air force cover.

Although he still doesn't know the current situation of his troops, the third prince of Qi country still has a little bit of ability.

He knew that after the Tang army broke through the defense line, it was impossible to leave the hundreds of thousands of Qi troops on the border alone, so it was very likely that the other party was already threatening his rear.

Although he didn't think it was possible for him to be surrounded and annihilated, if the transportation and supply lines were cut off, he would feel uncomfortable with the tens of thousands of main forces on the Western Front left in his hands.

So while the third prince organized troops to try to retake his breached line of defense, and closed the gap to plug the hole, he was also dispatching troops to stop the Tang Army troops that threatened his flank.

"Call out the most elite troops in our hands! Yes, it is Cyric to aid our tank troops! Order them to stop the Tang army advancing eastward in Luozhen! Be here!" The third prince looked at the map and looked at the several people in front of him. a general ordered.

"These tanks are for us to break through the enemy's positions..." a general reminded.

"I know! But now what troops can stop these damned Tang troops? What else can I do if I lose another army department? Huh?" The third prince choked back angrily.

The general closed his mouth, but another general suggested, "Your Highness! Only those dozen or so tanks are not enough... Do you want to send some infantry to follow?"

"Drop another regiment from the east... No matter what, stick to Luozhen! Don't take a step back!" The third prince had no choice but to draw another regiment from the east position.

Although he was also worried about whether Tang Jun would make another breakthrough, he was even more worried that the situation in the places that had already been broken through would continue to deteriorate.

So he had to take the risk of using the garrison troops in other sections of his position to reinforce the tight direction.

In fact, he worried too much, because Tang Jun really didn't have the ability to launch another frontal surprise attack.All the troops were dispatched to the vicinity of the breakthrough, the number of frontal troops was insufficient, and there were more than enough defenses and insufficient offenses.

After giving the order, the third prince looked at the map again. As long as he could defend Luo Town, at least he could buy enough time for his flank.

At that time, whether it is the reinforcements from the direction of the king city or the reinforcements from the eldest prince behind, they can reach the battlefield and reverse the current unfavorable situation.

The key now is whether he can hold on to Luozhen, whether he can persist until these reinforcements arrive, and whether he can drag the war back to the rhythm of holding on to the position.

But what he didn't know was that the real target of Redman, the commander of the Tang army's attack, was actually Nanye, an important town in the south!While the third prince was still cautiously trying to defend his little flank, Luozhen, Tang Jun was already planning the main flank of the entire Qi army.

Because there are railways connecting all parts of Qi State, and there is also a railway extending to the border between Tang State and Qi State on the front line!As long as this railway is under control, the logistics and supply environment of the Tang army can be improved.

Moreover, after capturing Nanye, he could also cut off the supply line of the eldest prince's main force, and destroy or seize a large amount of strategic materials hoarded by Nanye, weakening the combat effectiveness of Qi's main force.

In short, Redman's appetite was much bigger than the third prince imagined, otherwise he would not have assembled the 1st and 2nd armored divisions in the direction of Nanye.

With hundreds of tanks and the support of at least one mechanized infantry regiment, capturing Nanye did not seem difficult.

As long as the Tang army completes the supply and continues to mobilize its tank troops, Nanye, an almost undefended strategic location, can be defeated in one go.
