Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 771 The promotion of the old general 771
Medicine is another aspect, or for Qin Jun, the lack of some supplies is not what they care about most.

Even when the Dahua army withheld part of the Qin army's food supply, it didn't make the generals of the Qin army fly into a rage: Anyway, the northwest is bitterly cold, and the Qin army is used to poverty.

Even if part of the military rations were deducted, the soldiers of the Qin Army still felt that the food they got was better than what they ate in the northwest.

What the commanders of the Qin army were most concerned about was that Dahua seriously underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Tang army.This is what they cannot tolerate, and this is the last thing they want to face.

They have never seen Tang Jun's tanks before, and the rags produced by Cyric that the Dahua Empire sold to Qin State are completely incomparable.

The shells hit the armor of these tanks and were immediately bounced off. Those tanks were rampant on the battlefield and could not be stopped at all.

These behemoths would stop only when their tracks were blown off occasionally, but Qin Jun still had nothing to do with these iron bumps, and could only let these invincible monsters wreak havoc on his position.

Under the cover of these new tanks with slanted armor and long-barreled artillery, the Tang Army's grenadiers, who were already good at fighting, were even more difficult to deal with.

This was the first time that Qin Jun, who was born in a place of bitter cold and had been fighting barbaric foreigners, encountered such a powerful opponent.For a while, they even had a feeling of meeting each other and cherishing each other.

Whether it is combat literacy or weapons and equipment, Tang Jun almost completely surpassed Qin Jun: this time made Qin Jun despair, because they seemed to see an enhanced version of themselves.

"We are not here to fight such an opponent at all!" This idea began to appear in the minds of officers and soldiers at all levels of the Qin Army.

It was this kind of thinking that began to appear, coupled with the lack of medical supplies, lack of medical supplies, and unstable food and salary supply affecting morale and morale, the performance of the Qin army on the battlefield gradually began to change.

The Qin army, which was able to fight the Tang army's second-rate troops before, was no longer different from the Dahua army.

In most cases, they took a few symbolic hits, and then began to retreat to give up their defensive positions.

This kind of performance annoyed the generals of the Dahua Empire very much. Feng Kezhi regarded the Qin army as a living force, and had always placed the Qin army as the main force in the most important defensive position before.

But as the combat performance of the Qin Army became worse and worse, he had to start replacing the Qin Army troops with Dahua troops, and in turn put the Qin Army troops on less important positions.

This in turn affected the attitude of the Dahua logistics force in providing supplies to the Qin army: since you are not the main force anymore, you are even less qualified to receive supplies.

Under such a vicious cycle, Qin Jun's battlefield performance changed so much that even Tang Jun felt a little inexplicable.

Some generals of the Tang army even once thought that the Qin army might only have eight thousand elite main forces, all of which were exhausted in the previous positions, and the rest were waste...

The actual situation is not the case, it's just that Qin Jun began to consciously avoid casualties, and expressed his dissatisfaction to the Dahua Empire in this way.

It's just that this kind of dissatisfaction directly led to the collapse of the situation in the war zone near Fengjiang: the reserve team that the Dahua Empire had accumulated with great difficulty had to be put into the battlefield in advance to stabilize the crumbling defense line.

The reserve team, which was originally used by Feng Kezhi's plan to counterattack partially and cause trouble for the Tang army, was quickly consumed by endless repairs and rescues in the process.

This is also the fundamental reason why Feng Kezhi began to destroy Fengjiang City in a planned way: his reserve team was almost exhausted, and his plan to drive the troops of the Tang Kingdom out of Fengjiang with a single counterattack could not be realized at all.

Therefore, for Feng Kezhi, it is almost impossible to regain Fengjiang City, so the only option left is to destroy Fengjiang City, so that the Tang army cannot use this city.

"Stop the 7th Army's attack in the urban area. You don't have to play with your life like that, just make up your mind." Bolton ordered to the bearded man: "You have already made a name for yourself, and His Majesty has named you for your bravery."

"The foundation of the Seventh Army was brought from North Ridge, I can't embarrass the old earl." The bearded man stood up and stood at attention to salute: "Now we dedicate our loyalty to His Majesty, and the Seventh Army is willing to become a sharp blade in His Majesty's hands , stabbing wherever His Majesty points out!"

"Sit!" Bolton smiled and pressed his hands down, signaling the bearded army commander from North Ridge not to be so restrained.

You know, the qualifications of this bearded man can be said to be quite old.He was an important commander of North Ridge in Fishero's era, and his status was even slightly higher than that of Tiger.

It's a pity that Tiger followed Tang Mo first, and became one of Tang Mo's most trusted military generals.

Now Tiger is already one of the most popular marshal candidates, but this bearded man from North Ridge is still only a commander, a commander of the infantry army.

You must know that in the Tang State Army system, the default ordering method is that the commander of the armored forces has the highest status and the best future, followed by the commander of the mechanized grenadier unit, and then the commander of the motorized infantry.

As for the ordinary infantry commanders, they are already at the level of the local garrison troops, and they are not noticeable at all.

The bearded man is now the commander of the motorized infantry army, and he even has to be controlled and commanded by the young Bolton, so he is not a good mix.

But this time the 7th Army showed its face in front of Tang Mo: as the spearhead of the attack, the 7th Infantry Army recklessly went all the way to Fengjiang City, and took the lead in attacking Fengjiang, which can be described as brave.

They broke through the defense line of the Qin army, which was difficult to deal with before, and the defense line of the subsequent Dahua army. They have been fighting fiercely until now, but they have not taken a step back!
This is an excellent performance on the battlefield. The troops commanded by Feng Kezhi, the general of the Dahua Empire, and the main force of the Dahua Army gathered in Fengjiang, even though they counterattacked many times, they failed to regain a position from the 7th Army. I have to say The Seventh Army continued the gritty fighting style of the Northridge Army with their victories.

The meeting ended quickly. After all, a plan to suspend urban operations and shift the focus to field operations outside Fengjiang does not need so long to arrange discussions.

After the meeting, when everyone was packing up and preparing to go home, Bolton stopped the bearded commander who was going back to the 7th Army headquarters.

"General Eric! I want to talk to you alone." Bolton walked up to the bearded commander of the 7th Army and motioned that he would go out with him.

After everyone left, Bolton spoke again: "The general staff gave me an order to prepare the 7th Army to withdraw."

Eric was taken aback, watching Bolton fight and said: "Although the 7th Army suffered a lot of losses, we can still continue to fight! Difficulties can be overcome, we..."

"It's not that the General Staff doesn't trust the combat power of the 7th Army." Bolton interrupted Eric, and continued to explain: "Or...this order was actually given by His Majesty."

Before Eric could recover from the shock, Bolton continued, "Recently, there have been more and more voices discussing upgrading the empire. The civil servants in the court can't wait to put His Majesty on the throne tomorrow."

"This is a good thing." As a staunch supporter of the emperor, Eric's eyebrows seemed to be dancing when he heard that Tang Mo was going to become the emperor.

"It's really a good thing." Bolton nodded: "So the staff, the military, and some military generals...all believe that a larger combat group should be formed..."

"Army group?" This rumor has always been heard, and Eric has heard of it, but it is hard for him to imagine how huge a battle it will take to gather several 10 people together to form an organization.

"Yes, that's right, the Army Group." Bolton continued to nod: "Your Majesty means to let the Seventh Army do an experiment first and form a Seventh Army...you are the first commander of this army."

"What?" The bearded Eric was taken aback by the news. He stared at Bolton in shock and didn't recover for a long time.

"The news has been finalized, but it hasn't been made public yet, so you can't tell it after you go back." Bolton opened his mouth to explain, because there are still many things to say.

"Yes! I understand." Eric swallowed a mouthful of saliva and immediately nodded in agreement.

"The reason why it hasn't been announced is because the commander of the group army has the rank of lieutenant general." Bolton reminded Eric.

Eric is not a fool, he immediately realized the crux of the problem: Bolton is now a lieutenant general, if Eric is promoted, then Bolton will no longer be able to command and control Eric.

Therefore, Bolton is likely to be promoted as well, to general, so that he can continue to serve as the commander-in-chief of the central theater within the regulations.

Now that Bolton is about to be promoted to general, the legendary Big Three in the military, that is, Tiger, Redman and Bernard, probably all have their own marshal's scepter.

Such a big thing, no wonder it has to be done step by step-upgrading to an empire, it is natural to reward the three armies and promote the generals... After all, defeating the Dahua Empire is a great victory, and it is only natural for the generals to reward them for their merits.

"I understand." Eric, who knew the importance, immediately said in a more solemn tone.

Seeing that Eric understood, Bolton didn't say much, everyone is a smart person, if he can't grasp the mistakes, he should be responsible.

So, Mr. Future General accompanied Mr. Eric, the future Lieutenant General, out of the conference room shoulder to shoulder and sent him to the car.

This move was seen by many interested people outside the Central Theater Command, so everyone guessed that the veteran North Ridge, who has always been inferior to others, is probably going to make a huge leap this time.

He was promoted, which means that many people will be promoted, so everyone has a smile on their faces, and the atmosphere is also relaxed.
