Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 553 Chapter 553 Changes in the Battle Situation
No one is a fool. Jiang Xian, the monarch of Qi State, has been on the throne for more than 20 years and has worked hard to manage the state affairs. Naturally, he is even less likely to be a fool.

He had been keenly aware that Tang Jun's possible attack direction was Luo Zhen and Nanye, so he immediately began to think about how to deal with the situation in front of him.

Now Qi State can be said to be very passive, their hinterland is very empty, basically there is no defensive force.

In order to reinforce Nanye, Jiang Xian even sent out the last troops to guard the royal city. Now the royal city of Qi is so empty that it is simply an undefended city.

Jiang Xian was not naive enough to believe that his more than 2 imperial troops could create some miracles in Nanye, because if there were any miracles, this miracle would have happened long ago.

From the beginning to the end, what Jiang Xian placed high hopes on was that the frontline troops would return to the defense, penetrate the Tang army's defense line from behind, and force the Tang army to give up their plan to capture Nanye.

In other words, Jiang Xian relied on the third prince and the eldest prince who returned to defense. He believed that his two sons could regain the initiative on the battlefield through a beautiful counterattack.

However, as a king, it is impossible for him to naively pin all his hopes on a military operation whose outcome is unknown.

Therefore, while he gave the third prince and the eldest prince a death order to break through the railway between Luozhen and Nanye at all costs, Jiang Xian also gave his second son an order.

This order is to order the second prince on the eastern line to immediately draw out the elite and return to the king's city along another railway.

You must know that the King Qi City is extremely empty, and Jiang Xian cannot allow this dangerous situation to continue.He will definitely choose the safest and fastest way to transfer troops back to the royal city.

At present, going to Luo Town may not be the fastest. If the eldest prince and the third prince can't take back Luo Town, then everything will become a fantasy, a castle in the sky.

Therefore, the seasoned Jiang Xian transferred the elite 2nd Army in the eastern defense zone back to Wangcheng almost immediately.

The Tang army is moving, and the Qi army is also moving. Both sides are dispatching troops and generals, hoping to strangle the enemy on the opposite side through their own arrangements.

"Report!" A chorus woke King Qi who was sitting on the chair.

In the manor on the outskirts of King Qi City, Jiang Xian was so sleepy that he couldn't keep his eyes open.He is almost 50 years old this year, and his body no longer allows him to work too hard.

But the war made him unable to relax. He stayed up late these days, and his whole body has lost weight.

His eyes were covered with dark circles, and there were some dimples on his face.These wrinkles are accompanied by the opening and closing of his mouth, curling and wriggling as if alive: "What is it?"

If Jiang Xian went to sleep, it would be impossible for the attendants to wake him up like this.But in order to control the first-hand information, Jiang Xian resolutely refused to rest, so he fell asleep on the chair.

"The security forces deployed by our army on the outskirts of Nanye...were completely annihilated." The officer replied straight with a grim expression on his face.

In fact, there are not many of these troops. The Qi army's defensive troops deployed near Nanye has only one division, and it is only three regiments at full strength.

These troops can't all be placed outside, so the Tang army actually suffered heavy losses, but only about one or two regiments of the Qi army.

But things are sometimes so mysterious: the Qi army only has such a small number of troops, so they really can't bear the fact that one regiment or even two regiments have been wiped out.

Before the imperial army arrived at the front line, almost half of the troops guarding Nanye from the Qi army were wiped out by the main force of the Tang army rushing towards Nanye.

"..." Because it was expected, Jiang Xian was not surprised, he just looked at the general who was waiting for him to fully wake up, and then asked, "Where is the forbidden army?"

"I guess it will take another day to arrive at Nanye." The officer who came to deliver the news replied a little nervously.

"I hope they have time." Jiang Xian sighed, feeling that he was about to die here.He hadn't had a good rest for several days, and his face was full of exhaustion.

He also knew that his troops were moving slowly, and there was nothing good to do in a short time, so he could only sigh helplessly after he finished speaking: "Alas..."

Then, he seemed to remember something, turned his head, and looked at a minister: "On the radio, what the Tang people said...is it true?"

Just a few hours ago, Tang Jun's radio station announced a great victory: in the Battle of Luozhen, Tang Jun claimed to have killed at least two senior generals of the Qi State.

Whether this matter is true or not is unclear for the time being, but it is a fact that Jiang Xian cannot contact the Western Front Command.

"That's just a propaganda by the Tang people, Your Majesty! It's just to shake you and make your judgment go wrong!" A minister beside him hurriedly comforted him.

"Check! Send a telegram to the eldest prince! Tell him to find his third brother, and... to find Tian Heng! No matter what, call me back as soon as you find it!" Jiang Xian insisted stubbornly.He didn't think there would be any problem with his valued son and general at the same time.

"Yes!" The minister hurriedly bowed his head and said nothing more.

……

"Have you verified your identity? If this is a joke, it will have a great impact on morale." On the periphery of Anpu, in the commander-in-chief of the Tang Army, Loew was discussing the same matter with several of his staff officers.

The corpses of the third prince and Tian Heng and others have all been processed and put on the train back to Tang.Tang Jun will definitely make good use of the results of this time to publicize their military victory.

Looking at the photo, a staff officer said with certainty: "The style of the military uniform is indeed right. I think at least these two generals...should be real."

Tang Jun had obtained the military uniforms of the senior generals of the Qi State through the intelligence agency before, and they could easily tell that the military uniforms on these corpses belonged to the senior generals of the Qi State.

Another staff officer was concerned about the body of the third prince: "The military uniforms of the royal family of Qi... won't be publicized?"

Regarding the verification of the results of the battle, Tang Jun is very strict and prudent - Tang Mo doesn't want to see his troops make a joke like sinking the Royal Ark because of greed.

So when seeing the body of the third prince wearing a royal-style military uniform, Tang Jun's propaganda department did not publicize it immediately.

Even, they only reported the news of the killing of two senior generals of the Qi State, and did not mention the killing of the third prince of the Qi State.

"Just kidding, how could it not be publicized? What a big victory this is? What a great honor!" Loew snorted and said.

Of course, publicity must be vigorously publicized, and an unprecedented method must be used to announce to the whole world the glory of the Tang Kingdom.

That's right, the propaganda department of the Tang Kingdom planned to publish the photo of the third prince's corpse directly, or in the form of an unprecedented color printing.

Although it was a bit bloody, the visual impact was simply off the charts.After the evidence was conclusive, it was announced that the third prince had been killed.

At this time, another staff officer asked his colleagues, his tone full of envy: "Second Class Hussar Medal?"

That's a second-class medal!With this kind of medal, there is also a subsidy for not kneeling when seeing an official. So far, the entire army has not had one!
The staff officer sitting next to him felt that his mouth was full of sour taste: "General Redman proposed to directly give the first-class hussar medal..."

"Liu Guozhu, boy! You're so lucky!" After hearing these conversations, Loew couldn't help but sigh with emotion.As the chief of staff, he cannot go to the front line to charge.

In fact, as one of the veterans of the Datang Group, Tang Mo only had a hundred guards when Loew took people out.Therefore, it is also his regret that Loew cannot have the White Blade Medal or the Hussar Medal.

The staff officers on the side all echoed: "Who says it's not!"

"But I still want to criticize and criticize him! It would be great if he got a job." At this time, a staff officer said somewhat unwillingly.

Loew glanced at the officer, feeling that he was a little confused: "What are you thinking? What are you thinking? In that kind of environment, asking armored soldiers to catch alive is a bit too much, isn't it?"

The officer was also a bachelor, and he spread his hands and still felt a little unwilling: "Oh, I know it too, but I still feel sorry... After all, it would be great if I really caught a living one."

"Who said it wasn't... What about the medals? They are still given at the first level?" Regarding the evaluation of the medals, the opinion of their staff is very important.

Loew waved his hand and gave his opinion: "Wait, wait for the newspaper...or, wait for His Majesty's wishes."

"Okay!" Seeing that the boss had spoken, everyone immediately agreed.

On the flank of Luozhen, the 1st Battalion and 1st Company of the 1st Regiment of the 1st Armored Division, Liu Guozhu's crews were still scrubbing their tanks.

Although they have washed the air intake grille on the car body behind the turret of their tank, they can still smell a corpse.

I don't know if it's an illusion or some other reason, they even put things on when transporting the corpse, but it's still useless.Everyone just thinks it smells, so they can only wipe it again...

"Boss, tell me... this time, can we bring back another medal?" The loader asked curiously while rubbing a rag against the gap in the grille.

"How do I know..." Liu Guozhu kept cleaning his car, "I don't care about that thing..."

When he was talking, he was wiping the motor oil on the car with his hands. At this moment, he raised his head and subconsciously wiped his cheeks.

Then, he painted himself a big face, without realizing it.

The electromechanical worker who came back from fetching water immediately laughed brightly and unscrupulously.

Amidst their laughter, another batch of ten Stuka dive bombers roared and flew over their heads, and flew towards the Qi army's position in the distance.
-
There is no status today, so let's make two changes for the time being, and make up the debt tomorrow.
