Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 725 Chapter 725 Redman with a guilty conscience
What Feng Kezhi didn't know was that at the same moment, Redman was also frightened by his front-line combat troops.

He had never seen such a way of fighting, nor had he seen such a group of reckless lunatics!The flanking forces of the Tang army going south had always been insufficient. As a result, the frontline combat commanders of the Tang army launched a frenzied offensive with such a small force.

These small numbers of troops headed west all the way, fought two encirclement battles within three days, annihilated the 10 Dahua troops that were planning to counterattack, and occupied a large area.

Because they fought so well, all the troops originally planned for defense were pulled into the battlefield by these frontline combat troops, like a planet swallowed by a black hole.

The reserves of fuel are decreasing crazily, a large number of troops transporting ammunition have been dispersed and diluted, and even battalion-level convoys can no longer be found. The current transportation supplies are all measured in shifts.

What's even more exaggerated is that when it comes to the frontline theater, the supplies even rely on truck drivers to find the troops to complete the final transportation work. Not to mention it is very dangerous, and there are often chaotic situations.

Some supply troops happened to bump into the defeated Dahua troops during the transportation process, and then even captured more than 100 prisoners. A dozen drivers stood next to the oil truck with submachine guns and watched the prisoners until the follow-up The infantry arrived before continuing on the road.

The fragile supplies are often late at the beginning, which is the main reason why Tang Jun stopped by himself.On the other hand, Dahua's defense force, their defense line could not stop Tang Jun's attack at all.

The supply problem is not the most serious. The most serious thing is that the Tang Army's troops were divided into countless small units by the vast territory of the Great China Empire.

At the very beginning, the combat teams of the Tang Army were basically divisions and regiments. An infantry battalion plus a tank battalion and artillery battalion, plus supplies and headquarters, was comparable to a reinforced regiment.

Later, as the battle continued, these troops were divided by the battlefield smaller and smaller.At the very beginning, the Tang army was able to fight a large-scale annihilation battle, and was able to eat the main force of the Dahua army with more than [-] people in one go.

But later, the scale of the battle became smaller and smaller, and the size of the combat team began to gradually become smaller: a reinforced regiment composed of several battalions began to become a reinforced battalion composed of several companies.

The supply troops don't even have an organization. A few trucks in a truck transport company keep moving forward with a combat team of this size, and they are considered "supplied".

Because as the battle continued, Tang Jun's side was getting farther and farther away from the supply station, and it was true that the supplies were getting less and less, but there was also a problem with Dahua.

The problem with Dahua is that the more the command is fought, the more chaotic the troops will be. There is no morale at all, and it is impossible to organize any effective actions when they are defeated all the way.

Not only is the offense not guaranteed, but even retreat is a problem.Many troops dispersed after running, and even the officers could not be found.

Under such circumstances, although the Tang army had many deficiencies, it still maintained a rapid attack. Even though the troops had been dispersed into small groups, they still pierced into the flesh and blood of the Dahua Empire as sharply as the tip of a needle.

Up to now, the troops of the Tang Army have no organizational system at all: sometimes an assault gun can cover a platoon of soldiers to control a village, and sometimes there are not even armored vehicles, but an infantry platoon dares to walk non-stop On the way to attack.

This was the case with Liu Guozhu: He and the No. 115 car didn't even have the cover of the infantry, so they continued to move forward in a daze, without taking into account the possibility of the enemy's counterattack.

When the troops were scattered to this extent, Redman couldn't sit still.He feared that at some point the enemy would suddenly launch a counterattack, and that his paper-thin front would collapse.

He didn't know whether the Dahua army was really that weak, or what kind of counterattack plan was brewing.He even suspected that the enemy commander was digging a big hole for him, just like the one Tiger dug for Qian Jinhang.

Even if the Dahua commander did not have a mature counterattack plan, the situation was not so optimistic: Redman worried that if his troops ran into a large group of Dahua troops, they would be plunged into a bitter fight.

After all, this is within the territory of the opponent's country. If the troops encounter enemy reinforcements of more than [-] people or assembled routs when they attack, they may suffer losses.

Because the Tang army was too scattered, it was actually impossible to encircle and wipe out a large number of enemy troops.Now they can only rely on rushing to break up the enemy in order to ensure their own tactical advantage.

So these days, he has been urging the air force to take off planes for investigation. As long as the clouds are a little thinner, the planes of Datang Kingdom will keep circling in Dahua territory.

Even though the Dahua Empire took off planes to intercept it, Tang Jun's planes still used their height advantage to keep investigating, as if they wanted to see through the entire Dahua Empire.

It's a pity that he doesn't have spy satellites, so he can't do things like dispel the fog of war.The battlefield is not particularly transparent to the generals of this era, so commanding is still an art.

Redman, who has always advocated offense, was under unimaginable pressure. He only slept for two or three hours every day, and his whole body became more and more haggard.

Although there are staff officers to help him share the pressure, the war that determines the fate of the country has become such a child's play, so that Redman can only be in torment and panic all day long.

It's frightening to think that the battle of victory is decided in the hands of a tank, a company commander, or even a grenadier.

What made him most uncomfortable was that he was afraid of hearing the news of the failures at the front, but what he heard was one victory after another.Hearing good news one after another while waiting desperately, this is undoubtedly where Redman collapsed.

But he couldn't be dissatisfied, because good news is always better than bad news. Every time he imagined that his majesty Tang Mo was defeated because of his mistake, he would tremble non-stop.

He didn't want to live up to Tang Mo's trust, so even with dark circles under his eyes, like a vampire, he didn't want to take a break.

Or he couldn't sleep at all, as soon as he closed his eyes, he would subconsciously think that there was a telegram sent back from the front line.This has almost become a kind of conditioned reflex for him, so he will ask every half hour if there is a telegram from the front line.

……

These days, Qian Jinhang didn't sleep well either.

His troops have been fighting in Xicong. After a fight, the Dahua army has surrounded Xicong on three sides. It can be said that this city is already within easy reach of the Dahua Empire.

But Qian Jinhang actually suspended all military efforts to attack Xi Cong a week ago, he knew that his retreat was already very dangerous.

At the very beginning, he could still receive telegrams on the battle situation in the rear. Feng Kezhi assured him that he only needed to stabilize the three armies and continue to maintain pressure on Xi Cong, and the danger in the rear would be lifted soon.

But with the fall of Wangchun City and Han Zhiyuan's death in battle, Qian Jinhang could only occasionally hear some unfavorable news from Feng Kezhi.

Although Feng Kezhi didn't deliberately conceal it, Qian Jinhang still couldn't know the specific situation of the battle: he could only rely on speculation, and there were some fragmentary messages to speculate that the situation was extremely unfavorable to Dahua.

Yes, extremely disadvantageous!
This is a fact that Qian Jinhang knows very well: he doesn't need to see it with his own eyes, just by looking at the amount of supplies sent from the rear, he can clearly know that the Tang army is almost approaching Tengyun City.

Although Dahua had hoarded a large amount of military supplies in Nanfengkou, as the war continued, it became inevitable to continue to deliver supplies from Dahua's hinterland to the front line.

But because the Tang army had already approached Jiange City, it was definitely impossible for Dahua's supplies to be transported to the south wind outlet.

Most of the materials originally planned to be transported to Nanfengkou will be transferred to Jiange, and some will be replenished to Tengyun City, so that the Dahua troops there can prevent the Tang army from attacking.

In this way, the Dahua troops near Xicong can only eat the materials hoarded at Nanfengkou: so the amount of materials transported to the front line has been reduced by half.

This is also a helpless thing: some of the trains and cars that originally supported the Dahua attacking troops near Xicong were transferred back to transport supplies for Jiange and Tengyun, leaving less capacity for Qian Jinhang's troops. part.

Coupled with the rainy weather in the southern region, transportation was already a bit difficult, so the front line received even fewer supplies.

Qian Jinhang, who couldn't get enough supplies, naturally couldn't launch any decent offensive, so he could only let time pass by in the rain like Tang Jun.

However, Tang Jun was waiting for the encirclement to form, and Qian Jinhang might not even know what he was waiting for.He didn't get an order to retreat, so he could only wait obediently where he was, in the ruins of Xi Cong City that occupied a third of it, helplessly waiting for his final fate.

"General!" An officer walked into Qian Jinhang's headquarters, he stood at attention and saluted, and then handed over a telegram.

Qian Jinhang took the telegram, looked at the content on it, and smiled on his face: it was a bitter smile, a helpless smile, and a despairing smile.

Because that telegram was sent to him by Feng Kezhi, the order in the telegram is very clear and easy to say: "Order, the rearguard troops assigned to Qian Jinhang's command will be transferred to Nanfengkou immediately, and at the same time, the command authority will be reassigned." Return it to General Ding Hong."

In other words, Feng Kezhi transferred the troops to attack Xi Cong and transferred them back to Nanfengkou!But Feng Kezhi did not order Qian Jinhang to retreat as if to take care of His Majesty's mood.
