Alien Arms Empire.

Zhao Chen is the prince of the Dahua Empire, with a distinguished status and good ability. He organized troops to defend in the Jiange and withstood the pressure from the front of the Tang army.

Speaking of it, because of the natural danger of Cangjian Gorge, the possibility of Tang Jun attacking Jiange head-on is actually very small.

Coupled with the strengthening of reinforcements from the Kingdom of Shu, the defense line of the Tibetan Sword Pavilion of the Dahua Army can be said to be impenetrable, and the Tang Army also knows this information.

So while the battle in Fengjiang City was in full swing, the troops on both sides of Cangjian Gorge were very quiet, and no one tried to break this delicate balance.

Everyone on the ground is restrained, but it does not mean that everyone in the sky is still so courteous.Surrounding the air supremacy near Cangjian Gorge, the air battle between the two sides has actually lasted for seven or eight days.

During these seven or eight days, the Dahua Air Force has been taking off new Dahua 1 fighter jets to face Tang's air force, and the two sides have been fighting fiercely near the actual control line.

More than a dozen Dahua fighter jets were shot down every day. Although the Tang army did not fully control the air for a while, the loss of the Dahua Air Force was actually unbearable.

Although the loss of a dozen aircraft per day may not sound like a lot, it is definitely not a lot in relative terms.In addition to the losses from the previous battles, the rest of the troops were panicked, and everyone was very nervous, fearing that they would become the tragic protagonist who was shot down the next day.

You must know that cumulatively, the Dahua army has shot down more than 300 bombers and more than 200 new fighter jets.

Moreover, all bomber pilots and more than 150 fighter pilots have not returned to the team. These losses are real.

Even if you only look at the number of pilots, the loss of more than 450 pilots will definitely hurt the Dahua Empire: it takes real money to train these pilots, and the value of each pilot is not cheaper than the aircraft itself.

If you add in the fact that the original output is not much, and the loss of the incomparably valuable new fighter jets, the Dahua Air Force can't bear it after fighting these days.

The calls to preserve strength are getting louder and louder. Even Zhao Chen is considering whether it is worthwhile to continue the night bombing with no return.

In fact, Zhao Chen didn't need to think about it, because he really didn't have the capital and strength to continue to launch large-scale air battles now.

On the one hand, there are fewer and fewer pilots in the Dahua Air Force, and the advanced fighter jets can't keep up with the wear and tear.

On the other hand... Tang's air force is not idle either.One of the main reasons why they kept launching air battles was to cover their own bombers and repeatedly bombed Dahua Airport near Jiange.

Since the Dahua aircraft taking off from Jiange can carry out the mission of bombing the southern oil fields, the attack range of Tang Jun's frontline airport naturally also covers the Dahua Airport near Jiange.

In order to reduce the air defense pressure in the direction of the southern oil field, the Tang Guo Air Force took the initiative to attack and began to destroy Dahua Airport where it could be found.

Jiange Airport was destroyed by the flying fortress bombers of the Tang Air Force that arrived after the daytime bombing mission with the heaviest losses of the Dahua Air Force.

It is really destroyed!Tang Jun dropped hundreds of bombs in one breath, almost turning the entire airport runway into a vegetable field.

The largest airport near Jiange had no way to take off and land planes after that day, and even the wreckage of the planes affected by the bombing near the runway has not been cleaned up until today.

The remaining small airports were also found by Tang army reconnaissance planes, and then Stuka dive bombers were arranged to carry out targeted elimination.

Under this kind of offensive, almost all the front-line field airports of the Dahua Air Force were destroyed. It is already impossible to organize another large-scale air strike to bomb the southern oil fields.

Just when Zhao Chen picked up the phone receiver, the air defense alarm in Jiange City was still echoing.After Tang Jun couldn't find the attack target, he began to bomb the Jiange on a large scale. Zhao Chen was so devastated that he was reprimanded by Zhao Kai.

You must know that Jiange is the land of Longxing, which has another meaning for the Dahua Empire.Jiange was bombed, it is impossible for Zhao Kai not to ask about it.

But war is war, not to mention the land of Longxing, even the imperial capital of the empire, when they are beaten, they can only endure it.

But reason is reason after all, and it is naturally impossible for the emperor to be reasonable in everything he does.Zhao Kai's incompetent rage skill was activated again, and Zhao Chen was scolded on the phone to make him look ashamed.

"Hello! I'm Zhao Chen!" Zhao Chen who picked up the receiver knew that the call was from Feng Kezhi, so he was not polite, saving a lot of cutscenes.

Feng Kezhi didn't talk nonsense, and directly mentioned that he sent someone to contact Tang Guo and made some exchanges with Tang Guo.

After listening to Feng Kezhi's words, Zhao Chen sneered: "General! You have been retreating steadily on the battlefield, and the results of contacting and negotiating with the enemy are amazing."

Ignoring Zhao Chen's sarcasm, Feng Kezhi continued to talk about his views on this matter: "Tang Guo even agreed to my naive request. It seems that your harassment of the southern oil fields has had an effect. It made Tang Guo very uncomfortable!"

Zhao Chen was very happy to hear someone praise his achievements.Since Feng Ke said good things first, he put away his cynicism.

"Now, I think, my lord, if we can continue to put pressure on Tang in the direction of the southern oil fields, can we seize the opportunity to decently... end this war?" Feng Kezhi finally said what he wanted to say the most. words come.

He no longer expects any victory, and he can't even guarantee that he can continue to persevere.It is even more impossible to recapture the southern oil fields and push the front line back to the territory of Tang.

The real situation is: Fengjiang City is almost unstoppable now. If the fight continues and a few cities in the hinterland are lost, the imperial city may come into the bombing range of Tang army bombers.

If Tang Jun's bombers appeared in the imperial capital, the face of the Dahua Empire would be wiped out.Such a result is much more terrifying than losing the Jiange.

Therefore, in Feng Kezhi's view, a decent summation after defeat, even if you give up some benefits, and end this war... is also a favorable choice for the Dahua Empire.

In fact, this is not his argument alone, but the thoughts of many people.Even Zhao Chen is a supporter of this statement.

In the process of dispatching troops to confront the Tang army, Zhao Chen had already deeply experienced the strength of the Tang army, so he understood the defeat of the Dahua Empire's troops better.

Although Zhao Kai was still furious, Zhao Chen still rationally stood on the side of the pragmatists: this unjust war against Tang should indeed come to an end.

But what makes Zhao Chen, Feng Kezhi and others depressed is that they can choose when to start this war, but they have no way to choose when to end this war.

The Tang State was victorious day by day, and the theory made the Dahua Empire no longer have the conditions to seek peace.The reality is so cruel, who wants to stop the war when they win?

"What you said makes sense! I think you can try it!" Zhao Chen's expression became serious, and he also felt that Feng Kezhi's idea was feasible.

Although the bombing of the southern oil fields is unlikely to bring a reversal victory for the Dahua Empire, it may make Tang seriously consider the option of a truce.

As long as the other party is no longer aggressive, as long as the other party accepts the peace talks, then the Dahua Empire can end the war in a more decent way as Feng Kezhi said.

Isn't this exactly the result you want?

For the Dahua Empire, the war should indeed be over.Borrowing troops from the Kingdom of Shu and the Kingdom of Qin has actually made the Dahua Empire unable to hold its head up in the various subsidiary countries.

If this war continues, the influence of the Great China Empire on these vassal states may decline, which will eventually cause these countries to lose their dependence on the Great China Empire, and in turn make the surrounding environment of the Great China Empire even worse .

If the war against the Tang Dynasty turned into a complete collapse of the hegemony of the Dahua Empire, it is estimated that Zhao Kai, a face-saving emperor, would really kill people.

As the subjects of the corrupt empire of Dahua, neither Zhao Chen nor Feng Kezhi wanted to see the moment when the situation collapsed.

So when Zhao Chen listened to Feng Kezhi's statement, he immediately agreed with Feng Kezhi's judgment: "If it's really what you said, I think putting some pressure on Tang Guo can really make them seriously consider the peace talks. "

"It's just that I have difficulties on my side. The Tang army has been bombing our airport all the time. It's hard for me to organize a decent bombing in a short time." After agreeing with Feng Kezhi, Zhao Chen talked about his own difficulties.

Even if he agrees with Feng Kezhi's judgment, it will take time to prepare if he wants to continue to attack the southern oil fields at night with the remaining air force despite the Tang army's bombing.

This is not the kind of simple thing like issuing orders casually, and then the troops begin to carry out such a simple thing-for the air force pilots of the Great China Empire, carrying out the mission of bombing the southern oil fields at night is not much different from being ordered to commit suicide.

It is not easy to get one person to carry out a suicide attack willingly, and it is even more difficult to get a group of people to carry out a suicide attack.

"My lord, please organize a new bombing offensive as soon as possible. If it drags on for a long time, I'm afraid Fengjiang will not be able to keep it."

"Has the situation collapsed to such an extent? You have been operating in Fengjiang for several months, but in just a few days, you have reached the point where you can't hold on?" Zhao Chen asked in disbelief with a serious expression on his face. road.

Although Feng Kezhi is not very pleasing to the eye, he still understands Feng Kezhi's ability.He didn't think Feng Kezhi was an incompetent person, but such a capable general couldn't even defend Fengjiang City.

"Before it was stable, it was due to the absence of the main force of the Tang Army...Yesterday, the Qin Army on the front line discovered a new designation of the Tang Army that he had never seen before." Feng Kezhi said in a heavy tone on the phone: "The 1st Armored Division of the Tang State , Arrived in Fengjiang."
