Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 965: The Dahua Army at the End of the Crossbow

"Sir, this is the latest report on the battle of Fengjiang." An officer in charge of statistics in the direction of Fengjiang knocked on the door and put a report in front of Qian Jinhang who was about to return home.

Qian Jinhang's work here has basically been completed. As a staff member of the General Staff, staying here is actually not of much use.

If Zhao Kai knew that the Dahua Empire had been fighting against the old man Qian Jinhang recently, he didn't know what it would be like.

Qian Jinhang looked at the various data in the data, and asked without raising his head: "Is there any change?"

The officer obviously came prepared, and immediately introduced: "The number of mercenaries in various countries is obviously decreasing, but this does not affect our Fengjiang plan. In the area controlled by Zhao Yu, the first round of conscription has been completed. We can put more troops in Fengjiang."

Now the situation among countries in the world is quite complicated, so countries have begun to stop paying attention to the Battle of Fengjiang and the Battle of Qin and Shu.

These people's attention is on their own borders, so they can't bring out so many mercenaries to come to Fengjiang to learn experience and train the team.

In fact, in the past six months, countries have sent at least 3 military officers to Fengjiang to learn the combat tactics of the Tang army and learn about some cutting-edge changes in weapons and equipment.

Now, at least 2 grassroots commanders who came to Fengjiang for gilding have returned to their respective countries, and what they brought back is enough for the military of various countries to digest for a while.

In fact, this is a very interesting manifestation. There is an obvious chain of contempt in the armies of various countries in the world today: the students who graduated from the Datang Military Academy in Bunas in the early years are now in high positions in various countries and have become High commanding generals, who became the top ranks of the various imperial militaries.

Under their management, it is natural that alumni and classmates are more likely to be promoted. In fact, these commanders who have studied the advanced military thinking of the Datang Military Academy are indeed better than those old officers who grew up from the aristocrats themselves.

As for these "Tang Departments", there is also an interesting chain of contempt: those who went to Tang to study later were the highest level before.Now it has been gold-plated in Fengjiang, and it is even more popular now.

Except for those who came to learn gold plating, the rest of the soldiers in the army were much more miserable.They had to fight at the front for 2 months before they were eligible to go home.

However, they are not completely fruitless. As long as they can survive in Fengjiang, they may return to China and become grassroots officers.

It's a pity that there are so many people who survived, and as the battle of Fengjiang became more and more tragic, fewer and fewer people were withdrawn, and the time they fought on the battlefield became shorter and shorter.

Under such circumstances, it is unknown how much combat power these veterans who have been on the battlefield still have and how much they can learn.

But one thing is certain, that is, all countries in the world have learned something in Fengjiang, and they have indeed learned a lot of key points that they have never been exposed to at a relatively small price.

Qian Jinhang gave a disdainful smirk, and then put down the report in his hand: "It seems that countries think that they have almost learned our technology."

"The opponent is indeed learning our tactics and techniques. They have seen the actual combat performance of many weapons and equipment on the battlefield." The officer said affirmatively.

Then he added: "For example, the Type 63 light infantry rocket launcher has become a hot seller, and 3 units have been sold recently."

"Sounds really good, much more successful than opening an expo." Qian Jinhang nodded, and then said: "I will bring this report back, thank you."

"Long live His Majesty the Emperor!" The officer stood at attention and saluted.

"Long live the empire!" Qian Jinhang got up and stood at attention in return.

As a general who surrendered to the Tang Empire, Qian Jinhang developed many small habits.He thanked every superior and subordinate who handed over work to him, and every time he returned the military salute, he was very standard.

Many weapon technologies of the Tang Empire are the focus of tracking by various countries, and the weapons and equipment that can be seen in Fengjiang are naturally the most effective.

Everyone has seen the rocket launchers of the Tang Empire killing all directions in Fengjiang, so the word rocket launcher has become the most discussed word recently.

These days, apart from Fengjiang, the battle in the direction of Shanchong, or in the direction of Guiguang, has been extremely bloody and brutal.

Different from Fengjiang's battle against the city, the Fengjiang army near Guiguang commanded by Luo Xiao fought bloody battles with the Dahua army from Shanchong, while sending troops to attack the north continuously, trying to seize Wanliang, threatening the Hezhe direction. Dahua troops attacking Fengjiang.

Strategically, the Great China Empire is still naive and vague.Zhao Kai, the emperor who usually plays balance skills and has a flawed personality, played stably as always.

Qin State's invasion of Shu State, in a way, liberated the Western Front defenders of the Dahua Army.Some of these troops were drawn out and directly put into the cruel Eastern Front battlefield.

With so many more troops, the strength of the Dahua army attacking Fengjiang should have been unprecedentedly strengthened, but in fact these Dahua troops were scattered in three different directions.

Some troops were assigned to Zhao Jie Group in the direction of Shanchong, and the other part was clearly arranged in the direction of Wanliang to ensure the safety of Wanliang.

Only about one-third of the troops were assigned to the Zhao Chen Group for the attack in the direction of Fengjiang: this deployment was obviously not correct, but it seemed extremely reasonable.

A bowl of water is flat on the surface and there is no problem at all, but in fact this kind of refueling tactic is the most ridiculous distribution method.

From a real tactical level, it is better to devote all the troops to one direction to gain an advantage, and then consider other directions.

"This is not..." Zhao Chen was annoyed, but remembered that this order was probably issued by Zhao Kai, so he forcibly held back the word nonsense.

Having not won Feng Jiang for so long, Zhao Kai already has a lot of opinions on him, and asking for trouble at this time will make the situation worse.

Today's Fengjiang is simply a big fortress. The closer the attack is to the core, the stronger the buildings will be, and the denser the high-rise buildings will be. After the collapse, traffic will be blocked and a high ground will be formed, which is very unfavorable to the attacker.

In such a terrain, heavy weapons could no longer give full play to their advantages, and the Type 5 tanks that had finally gained the upper hand were completely useless. Everyone was now fighting in the ruins, almost entirely relying on infantry.

There are a large number of casualties every day, and some exhausted troops have to be withdrawn to rest every day, and then the troops that have just been rested are filled into this meat grinder.

At the very beginning, it was an infantry battalion full of 550 people who entered the position, and soon the recruiting speed could not keep up.The next troops to enter the battlefield were a battalion of 500 people, and later became a battalion of 350 people.

There is no way, too many troops need to be replenished, so that there is no way to make up the missing troops.

In most cases, the troops rest in the rear for two days to replenish some recruits. Let's get to know each other. After getting some ammunition and arms, they must enter Fengjiang to fight again.

The core veterans fought less and less. At the beginning, more than half of the soldiers in a battalion had sufficient combat experience.Fighting all the way to the present, it is not bad to have seventy or eighty veterans in a battalion.

Zhao Ji is gone now, it is impossible for Zhao Chen to use Zhao Ji's identity to ask Zhao Kai for more things.

The current crown prince, Zhao Ji, was sent to Wanliang City to supervise the battle. Zhao Kai worried that Wanliang would not be guaranteed, which would affect the empire's grain harvest.

That's right, isn't it already the harvest season: Wanliang Wanliang, as soon as you hear the name, you know that it is definitely a must-have production area.

In fact, this is indeed the case. The vast areas near the three cities of Wanliang, Jutian, and Caili are the traditional production areas of the Dahua Empire.Problems in these places cannot be easily caused, otherwise it will affect the food security of the Dahua Empire.

This is also one of the main reasons why Zhao Kai assigned the troops drawn from the western front to the direction of Wanliang: there really can't be any problems there, especially during the autumn harvest.

It can be said that the Zhao Chen Group is tired of veterans. Hundreds of thousands of troops besieged Fengjiang and rushed all the way from Hezhe to Fengjiang. The state is actually not very good.

Under such circumstances, without strong support, Zhao Chen's army's attack was already unsustainable.The reason why the battle of Fengjiang can be fought for so long has something to do with this.

In today's Fengjiang City, Dahua troops' attacks are often not comprehensive, but can only target a block or a few buildings.With such an offensive, the victory or defeat has no effect on the overall situation of street fighting.

Urban warfare, or street warfare emphasizes a fast word.If you're quick enough, street fighting will die down quickly, and damage will actually be suppressed to a minimum.

But if you get into a long entanglement, street fighting can become a nightmare for both sides.The endless input makes it extremely difficult for either side to win.

Because the losses are already huge, both sides will choose to keep investing in follow-up troops because of the tasteless food and the pity of discarding them, so that the previous investment will not be in vain.

The result is that both sides are riding a tiger, and both sides have to invest a large number of troops to entangle in the ruins: the Battle of Stalingrad, to put it bluntly, is like this.

If it is said that after the German army really captured Stalingrad, Paulus would still be able to continue marching to the Caucasus region, I am afraid that even he himself would not dare to say so.So even if the German army finally captured the city, it would just stick to it or retreat.
