Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 734 Chapter 734

Sometimes things are actually very dramatic, and this is the case at Nanfengkou on this day. Every little story makes people laugh and cry, some are absurd and some are heavy, but all of them are wonderful.

First of all, when a staff officer of the Dahua Army was helping Tang Jun sort out the documents at Nanfengkou, he saw a telegram from the imperial capital sent by a Dahua officer in the telegraph room that was still working.

Tang Jun's staff officer was very surprised. He really didn't know that the Dahua Garrison's own telegraph was still working.So he took the telegram from the strange-looking Dahua officer who had surrendered, and looked at the contents.

The above content is very ironic, it was actually sent by Feng Kezhi himself.In the telegram, Ding Hong was asked to fulfill his duties and not to make any judgments, just stick to the south outlet.

The telegram also said that he would order Qian Jinhang to break out of the siege, and then the pressure of the Tang army would be transferred to the east of Lijiacun, and the south wind entrance would be much safer... As long as Ding Hong defends the south wind entrance, it will be a great achievement.

It's a pity that Feng Kezhi's efforts to protect Nanfengkou have surrendered at this moment.Ding Hong got his wish and got 10 gold coins. Now he is sitting in the car going north to Tengyun, looking at the check, humming and thinking about the happy life in the future.

This is not a small amount of money, but Redman is very willing to compensate Ding Hong for his sacrifice of Nanfengkou: Ding Hong's whole family is still in the imperial capital, and it is estimated that these people will never enjoy any more glory and wealth.

Of course, in terms of the overall battle situation, both Redman and Tang Mo felt that it was worthwhile to spend a small amount of [-] gold coins to solve the problem of the south wind outlet.

At least if Nanfengkou can be taken down without bloodshed, all the strategic goals of the Tang army will be considered to have been achieved.As long as Qian Jinhang's headquarters is besieged and a small-scale army is sent to the southern oil field, all problems can be solved.

Redman, who saw the telegram, finally asked Tang Mo for instructions, and returned a telegram very kindly, stating the fact that Nanfengkou had been controlled by Tang Jun.

In fact, Feng Kezhi guessed something about it after his telegram went wild, and he even ordered the entire army to change the password.

As a result, Feng Kezhi received a telegram from his opponent just as the Dahua troops were frantically changing their passwords.Redman signed his name and sent a telegram to Feng Kezhi, telling him that he had captured Nanfengkou.

Afterwards, Feng Kezhi replied to Redman's telegram very gracefully, sending only two words: "Congratulations."

However, it turned out that Feng Kezhi's demeanor was only maintained on the surface: after he sent back the two words of congratulations to Redman, he sent a telegram with an interval of less than 20 seconds, ordering the garrison in the southern oil field to blow up all production facilities.

It's a pity that the war has reached its current state, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Tang army has already gained the upper hand.

At this time, if you don't find more ways out for yourself and prepare more bargaining chips, wouldn't you be a fool?Therefore, the deputy commander of the Dahua army stationed in the southern oil field launched a mutiny, killed the general who wanted to carry out Feng Kezhi's order, and sent a messenger to surrender.

Of course, this is all for later. Redman, who is still immersed in the joy of occupying Nanfengkou, does not know that the Southern Oilfield has actually announced the decision.

Moreover, on the contrary, the matter of occupying Nanfengkou did not go as smoothly as expected.Although the vast majority of the Dahua troops put down their weapons and did not resist, there were still fierce battles in some local areas.

"There should always be some people in my Great China Empire, and they have to prove it with their lives. His Majesty has loyal people, and our country has unruly people!" When the Tang army was about to take over a military garrison, the officer at the gate of the barracks refused to hand them over. arms.

The other party explained his choice in a very orderly manner, and did not intend to shoot black guns.After driving away the soldiers of the Tang army who came to hand over, he waited for the Tang army to appear again and ordered to fire two shots to give the first warning.

Then the battle broke out in the urban area. Tang Jun's troops attacked quickly and quickly broke through the defense line of this Dahua army.

The two sides fought fiercely for more than an hour. When they were about to be completely wiped out by the Tang army, the defenders lit the ammunition depot and sent up to the sky one-tenth of the ammunition that the Dahua army had hoarded at Nanfengkou.

The explosion was very tragic, and the surrounding Tang army lost a lot. At least more than 100 people were killed in battle, and the Dahua army guarding the ammunition depot was even less.

Afterwards, more than 700 Dahua soldiers who were unwilling to surrender were killed in this battle. The explosion destroyed a large area of ​​the urban area and turned the surrounding area into ruins.

The biggest loss was actually the local civilians. The local civilians who had no time to evacuate killed or injured at least 2000 people in the explosion, and tens of thousands were left homeless.

This incident also proves that there are brave fighters in the Dahua army. These middle-level officers cannot decide their own destiny, but they will make their own choices.

It's not that the Dahua troops hoarded all the arms in the urban area, but because there were too many ammunition and weapons hoarded at Nanfengkou, which was unimaginable, so there were supplies everywhere, everywhere arms.

Stretching from the train station to the outskirts of the city, Nanfengkou has stockpiled at least more than 100 million shells of various types and at least 1000 cannons of various types.

In order to deal with the possible appearance of the Tang army's air force, more than 1000 air defense troops were deployed throughout the city, from the suburbs to the city, and more than 100 anti-aircraft guns were set up at every opportunity.

Most of these anti-aircraft guns are advanced new models, some of which have never been seen by Tang Jun. There are 50mm, 76mm, and 100mm big guys.

Of course, there is also food for hundreds of thousands of troops: this may be one of the biggest gains of the Tang army from seizing Nanfengkou: this is the food for more than ten days for the millions of troops of the Dahua Army.

It is not an exaggeration to say that even if these grains are placed in Datang, where there is no shortage of grains, it is definitely a shocking amount of supplies.

If you count quilts and clothes, tents and rain gear, vehicles and tanks, fuel parts...then the supplies hoarded in Nanfengkou are simply an astronomical figure.

Originally, these materials were to be transported to Xi Cong to support Qian Jinhang's attack.But as the Tang army approached, the transfer of materials was forced to stop, and the rest were forced to hoard in Nanfengkou.

Without support, one can imagine how miserable Qian Jinhang is now trapped in Xi Cong.

Another battle broke out near the train station, where the Dahua troops stationed tried to escape by train.However, they were quickly blocked, and a fierce battle broke out with Tang Jun's tanks.

A battalion of more than 500 Dahua troops fought to the last moment.A train was wrecked on the tracks, and clothes and bedding piled up at the station were likewise set on fire by desperate defenders.

The fire continued to burn, delaying the use of the train station, and the black smoke that came out covered half of the south wind outlet, and the city was filled with a choking smell that hadn't dissipated for three days.

From a strategic point of view, the Dahua soldiers in this battalion used their own efforts to create the greatest obstacle for the Tang army.

They wasted more than two days of Tang Jun's fire fighting time, making it impossible for Tang Jun to use the Nanfengkou Railway Station, which delayed Tang Jun's transportation and mobilization, and also bought precious reaction time for the southern oilfield defenders.

Unfortunately, during the time they fought for, the besieged Xicong defenders did not break out in the direction of Lijiacun, and the defenders of the southern oil field did not set the oil field on fire like they did.

None of the solid fortifications came in handy. The cement trenches, barbed wire fences, and hidden bunkers were all handed over to the Tang army intact.

The Dahua troops stationed in these fortifications all put down their weapons, and the piles of ammunition were not even torn off the seals, just piled up in the sub-ammunition depot, and there were even special guards.

Dozens of Tang Army staff officers and secretaries and clerks spent a whole day sorting out the mountainous list of materials before they could barely sort out a general list.Complicated and chaotic documents piled up like a mountain, which could not fit in several rooms.

The Zuo Shilang of Dahua Military Department, who was in charge of these documents, committed suicide by swallowing a gun in his office: he had no idea that Ding Hong had surrendered, and when he heard the news that Tang Jun had already entered the city.

The desperate Dahua senior official didn't even have time to escape, and in the end he could only choose a decent ending for his family.In this way, at least his family in the imperial capital still has a way to live, not everyone is as ruthless as Ding Hong.

Feng Kezhi arrived at the palace helplessly by car, and then met the emperor Zhao Kai.He reported the deteriorating situation in the south to Zhao Kai: "Your Majesty! The news just came that the rebellious Ding Hong surrendered to the Tang Kingdom... Nanfengkou... lost."

"What did you say?" Zhao Kai, who had heard that the situation in the south had stabilized a few hours ago, suddenly stood up from his seat.

It wasn't that he was too restless, but that the news really shocked him.Once the south wind is lost, the situation in the entire southern region will collapse.

Because of the mountains blocking the southern oilfield area, it can basically be said that it no longer borders on the Dahua Empire. The vast territory southeast of Zangjian Gorge is almost completely controlled by the Tang Dynasty.

What's even more frightening is that the hundreds of thousands of troops under Qian Jinhang's command are surrounded, and it is estimated that they will lose all of them in the end... If there is no accident, the war of the Dahua Empire can be said to have been completely lost.

"Your Majesty, the situation in the southeast has collapsed, and I... am ashamed to be cultivated by Your Majesty." Feng Kezhi knelt on one knee, bowed his head and said to Zhao Kai.

Although this series of failures were not all caused by him, Feng Kezhi, but he was the general of the empire, and he was indeed to blame for such a big problem.

Although this moment is not the best moment to take the blame, Feng Kezhi must show his attitude and pass the knife to Zhao Kai first.
