Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 551 Chapter 551
In fact, very few of Qi's rout soldiers actually saw the tanks of the Tang army, because few of them could really escape.

Most of them escaped along the way with the rout soldiers, they all followed in a daze when they heard the shouts, and if they ran slowly, they would lose their lives, right...

"After a long time, you didn't even see Tang Jun, so you became deserters?" The regiment leader laughed angrily, and his tone was full of dissatisfaction.

The two deserters didn't know that their headquarters had been taken over by the Tang army, and now Tang's tanks were rampaging in the headquarters of Qi's 3rd Army.In fact, it is right to think about it, how could they know what happened behind them.

At this time, only the Qi army who fled from the vicinity of the headquarters could know that the headquarters of the 3rd Army was over.

But even for the Qi army that was defeated near the headquarters of the 3rd Army, there are very few people who really know that the headquarters is over-even if they saw it with their own eyes, they dare not spread rumors.

If this is wrong, or if what I said is different from what I actually said, which shakes the morale of the army, disrupts the deployment, and affects the battle situation, isn't it a hundred deaths and no redemption?

So, as long as he didn't actually see Tang Jun wipe out the headquarters, and saw the third prince's head chopped off with his own eyes, who would dare to talk nonsense?
At this time, honestly saying that you don't know, or don't know, that is the safest and safest...

After thinking about it, he didn't have the mood to shoot two deserters from other troops, and he couldn't do such an overreaching thing, so the commander of the Qi army still waved his hand and told the two defeated soldiers to leave quickly.

Then he asked his subordinates to help spread out a map, and carefully looked at the marks on it, trying to figure out where he was, and what the hell he should do.

"Crossing over here, it should be the headquarters of the 3rd Army...the distance shouldn't be too far..." Looking at the marks on the map, the head of the Qi Army could barely make out his approximate location.

Their military maps aren't accurate, and in fact they haven't used accurate maps for more than 100 years.

"Almost, shall we lean over?" The officer under his command nodded and asked.

"What are you doing in the past? It's just us, ride over and have a look!" Looking at the crowds and horses of the two infantry regiments crowded around him, the regiment leader signaled his subordinates to find some horses.

Obviously, lagging behind still has its benefits. Most of the senior officers of the Qi Army still have the ability to ride horses, just like the officers of the North Ridge like Tiger in the Tang Army can ride horses.

A few war horses were brought over like this, and then the commander of the Qi army left his army with seven or eight guards in this way, and rushed towards the approximate direction that the rout soldiers said in the distance.

The road was actually not easy, because they encountered many disbanded troops of the Qi State who were in a panic, and they also heard more and more news from these soldiers.

First of all, they knew that tanks from the Tang Army had attacked the headquarters of the 3rd Army, and the news was almost certain.

After confirming the news, the head of the Qi army knew that the attack might not go so smoothly this time.

The military headquarters of the 3rd Army was attacked, and it is not clear how much the loss was. If the 3rd Army was in chaos and collapsed, it would probably take more than 2 days just to collect these routs.

But staying in such a place where nothing shits a bird for two days, it is estimated that the logistics supply of the entire army will have problems, right?

You know, whether it is Luozhen or Nanye, they are the key places for material hoarding. Now these places have been blocked or lost, and the result of the Qi army's supply difficulties is obvious.

Immediately afterwards, they heard that the artillery positions of the 3rd Army were completely destroyed, and dozens of heavy artillery that had been brought up to join the battle were lost. Now the Qi Army has almost lost all its heavy fire support.

This is another piece of bad news: the Qi army, which was originally not superior in firepower, now has no means to scare people.

If you simply use infantry and light artillery to attack the enemy's fixed position, it is basically the same as sending to death.

The opponent's machine gun firepower can be ravaged forever, and the opponent's heavy artillery can suppress every charge... In this case, if the Qi army can charge forward and destroy the city, then why would they fight the Tang army?How comfortable it is to directly destroy the Dahua Empire and rule the world...

When they arrived at the headquarters of the 3rd Army and saw the scene in front of them, they knew what kind of disaster they were facing.

Although Tang Jun had already retreated, what remained was a mess.Almost all the senior generals of the 3rd Army were killed, and hundreds of them were found.

Some regimental and divisional officers belonging to the 3rd Army were sobbing in search of a superior commander to identify them.Some of the third prince's guards stood aside with livid faces. They haven't found the third prince's body until now...

Not only the body of the third prince, but the body of Tian Heng, the commander of the Qi Army on the Western Front, was also not found, and the body of the commander of the 3rd Army was also missing...

Things are so desperate. The entire command system of the Qi Army on the Western Front has been taken over by someone, and there is nothing left.

Today, the 5 Qi army that has no one to command is blocked in the wilderness like headless chickens. There are not many decent supplies, not many heavy artillery, and they are bombed by enemy planes every day.

What is even more desperate is that there are more than [-] Qi troops advancing towards them along the positions and roads. These troops are commanded by the famous general of Qi, Qin Xiong, and His Royal Highness the eldest prince who is assisted by Qin Xiong!

With the help of the 2nd company, the 1st Armored Battalion transported away dozens of corpses that could be found with different styles of military uniforms.

There are even some guards here, because their costumes are different. This is the first time Liu Guozhu and the others have seen the guards of the Qi State, so of course they can't tell the difference.

At this moment, Luozhen's outer defense line, Qi's 3rd Army, which had been attacking at all costs, finally couldn't hold on.

After losing the support of heavy artillery firepower, the officers and soldiers of Qi State fought hard for more than an hour under the firepower of the Tang army, and finally had to retreat due to heavy casualties and returned to their starting position.

"Those bastards in the rear who are greedy for life and afraid of death! If they fire a few more shots, the outer positions will be ours!" Commander Qi clenched his fist and smashed it on the wall of a temporary observation trench, causing strands of soil to fall off. fall.

"There must be something wrong behind, otherwise...it shouldn't be..." Beside the officer, his adjutant explained.

Logically speaking, even if the artillery position is greedy for life and fear of death, and the Tang army's aircraft bombing stops the bombardment, the army headquarters next to the artillery position will send people to urge the artillery to continue firing.

Even if they took [-] steps back and the enemy's attack really made the artillery unsustainable, then the headquarters should issue an order to stop their attack and withdraw to avoid more unnecessary casualties.

But neither of these two things happened, so it seemed very strange.Neither the commander in charge of the elite 3rd Army of the Qi State nor General Tian Heng are idiots, and it is impossible to make such a low-level mistake.

Obviously, the commander of the Qi State who was in charge of commanding the offensive operations also figured out the reason.

He frowned and murmured, "Something's wrong! Why hasn't the messenger sent to make contact come back yet? Send someone again! Find out..."

Before he finished speaking, the orderly came back in a hurry, stood at attention in front of him and saluted, "My lord!"

"Say!" the teacher hurriedly ordered.

"Our army headquarters was attacked, and the rear guard was in chaos. I couldn't find General Tian Heng, nor the commander..." the messenger reported.

"What?" The division commander who commanded the frontline battle turned pale with fright after hearing the report, his eyes widened.

The officer on the side hurriedly asked: "Did it be attacked by air? Was it bombed by an enemy plane?"

"Listen, I heard from the scattered soldiers that there were tanks from the Tang army... The scene was very chaotic, and he said he didn't see it... But I asked several people, and they all said that there were Tang army tanks." The orderly continued to answer road.

"Not good!" The division commander finally came to his senses and immediately yelled in mourning. After shouting, he immediately ordered: "Retreat! Bring the formed troops and take back the headquarters first!"

The officer didn't dare to delay, and immediately dispatched several messengers, ordering the troops that hadn't participated in the battle when they attacked just now to assemble, and quickly retreat towards the direction of the military headquarters.

At the same time, the head of the Qi army, who returned to his regiment headquarters with bad news, became even more confused.He did not find Tian Heng, nor did he receive his new mission as he wished.

He didn't know if he should continue to march towards Luozhen, and then launch an attack when he met Tang Jun, and continue to attack Luozhen.

I don't know where to camp and where to put the troops-the Qi army here is gathering more and more, obviously it needs a lot of open space to set up camp.

If he hesitated a little longer, the Qi army who came later would be able to occupy almost all available places.

Thinking of this, he finally decided to let the troops leave the road immediately, set up a tent in a place that looked good, and wait for a definite order to arrive before considering the follow-up actions.

Just when he arranged for his troops to rest on the spot and unloaded the luggage from the carriage, he finally received a definite news: Someone saw with his own eyes that General Tian Heng and His Royal Highness the Third Prince were killed in battle!

As a result, the entire Qi army was shaken, and everyone looked at a loss.At this moment, the commanders of the Qi State had a desperate thought in their hearts: "It's over! It's a big deal!"
