ancient capital.
headquarters,
"Commander, we suffered more than 50,000 casualties in this battle. The Fourth Army has basically wiped out all its troops, leaving only more than 3,000 people." Li Ji walked into the headquarters with the statistical report. said.
"More than 50,000 people...the casualties are quite large..." Feng Hui sighed.
"Commander, no matter how you say it, we defeated Fusang this time. You must know that the Jiangnan Army was defeated in both the Battle of Ji Province and the Battle of Lu Province."
"Well, not bad." Feng Hui nodded and said, "Winning the battle this time will indeed increase our morale, but we must also recognize the reality. If there is no Shu army in this battle, we will win no matter what. No, we sacrificed more than 50,000 people in less than three days, which means that if we rely solely on our own strength, we can survive for at most half a month."
"Yes, Commander." Li Ji sighed next to him.
"By the way, Commander, the Shu Army just got in touch with us, saying that their pilots may land in Jin Province or Qin Province, and hope we can find them." Li Ji suddenly remembered this incident and said.
"Well, you can handle this matter. You must treat them well and send them back to Shu Province safely. Thanks to them."
"Don't worry, Commander, I've already made arrangements."
…
Yanbei Expeditionary Army Headquarters.
Yamashita Ning, the Yanbei dispatched army, was now in front of the sand table, looking at the map on the wall with his hands behind his back.
"General, I don't understand why we are asked to withdraw our troops when we have the upper hand in all aspects!" Tokugawa Yume asked, standing on the left side of the sand table.
One of the reasons why Tokugawa Yume dared to question Yamashita Ning, the general, was because he himself was powerful and not a dawdling division commander. The second reason was because the Tokugawa family also had a large number of people in the Fuso Military Headquarters. The right to speak.
"Tokugawa-kun, this is not the general's fault, because my Sixth Division was attacked by air power and suffered considerable losses." Yamadagawa said on the other side of the sand table.
"Air power?" Tokugawa Yume frowned and asked in confusion: "How come the Northwest Army has air power? Is the Jiangnan Army supporting them?"
"Tokugawa-kun, take a look at this." Wada Hongyi placed a telegram in front of Tokugawa Yume.
Tokugawa Yume picked up the telegram and was immediately shocked.
"Nani?"
"How could this happen? We lost seventeen aircraft?" Tokugawa Yume looked at Wada Hongichi in shock.
"You read that right, Tokugawa-kun. Not only that, Yamada-kun's Sixth Division lost nearly four thousand men, and the artillery fire was also destroyed."
"How could this happen...who did this?" It was difficult for Tokugawa Meng to accept such a big loss. You must know that even the battles of Hebei Province and Lu Province did not cost them so much.
"There is no accurate information yet, but it is speculated that it may come from the southwest..."
Wada Hongichi said.
"southwest?"
"Shu Army?"
"It should be so, because now in the Yan Kingdom, the Jiangnan Army's air power is nothing compared to ours. According to the direction of the plane, only the Shu Army is the only one. However, T&G has not found evidence yet, so we are just guessing."
Koichi Wada sighed and explained.
"I see……"
"General Yamashita, please forgive me for being unreasonable just now." Tokugawa Yume bowed.
At this time, Yamashita Ning spoke: "It's okay, Tokugawa-kun, you are not the only one involved in this battle. Even I feel it is a pity. However, I have to order the withdrawal of troops because our air power has disappeared. If If we insist on attacking, we will lose more soldiers."
"I understand, General." Tokugawa Yume bowed again and responded.
"General, did we fail this time?" Yamadachuan asked.
"Our plan has been disrupted, and now we can only make new plans. The military department already knows about this matter. Prime Minister Saijoyama is very unhappy and thinks this is the incompetence of our Yanbei Expeditionary Force."
"The military department has now passed the motion to enter Yanguo by sea. This shows distrust in us, and even distrust in the entire army!"
Yamashita Ning's tone was a little angry. Fuso's navy and army were a bit unable to deal with it. The army's defeat this time gave the navy an opportunity to take advantage.
"General, you don't have to be angry. No matter how powerful their navy is, they still have to rely on the army. After all, we still need our army to expand the territory for the emperor."
"The navy has always been suppressed by our army. The proposal they submitted to the military department this time is to first blow up the Jiangnan Army's fleet at sea, and then land in the Magic City of the Yan Kingdom, which is the economic center of the Yan Kingdom, and capture Then we can attack Jiangsu Province from both sides."
Wada Hongichi said behind Yamashita Ning.
"What we need to do now is to recharge our batteries. When we land in the Demon City of Yan Kingdom, we will launch another battle."
"General, our next goal is..."
Yamashita Ning slowly looked at the sand table, and then pointed to a place.
"Xucheng?"
"Yeah!" Yamashita Ning nodded.
…
Jinling!
After the war between the Northwest Army and Fusang, Xu Dingfang did send two armies to support him, but he didn't know that he was blocked at the border of Central Plains Province and could not move forward further, and his own losses were not small.
He was now deeply aware of the horror of the Fuso Army's combat effectiveness, so he asked He Tianji to strictly demand the quality of the troops.
Xu Dingfang occupies a prosperous land in the south of the Yangtze River, so he is relatively rich, which is more than a little better than places like the Northwest Army.
Xu Dingfang customized a large number of weapons abroad and planned to equip his First Corps, because the First Corps happens to be guarding Jiangsu Province and is also his absolute direct force.
At this time, Xu Dingfang was working in the office. He Tianji walked in from outside the door and said, "Commander, the weapons we ordered from Chou Kingdom have arrived and have been equipped to two armies."
"Two armies?"
"Why so few?"
Xu Dingfang asked with some confusion. According to his thinking, he should be able to purchase equipment for five to six armies. Why are there only two armies?
"Commander, my wife came to me once before purchasing equipment and said that he needed to spend some of his funds to invest in Chou Country, so..."
Xu Dingfang didn't know what to say before He Tianji finished speaking.
"How much money did the lady take?"
"This batch of equipment is more than half." He Tianji replied truthfully.
He knew about the relationship between the commander-in-chief and his wife, so he didn't hide it.
"I know, you go out first." Xu Dingfang said and waved his hand.
After He Tianji went out, Xu Dingfang sat on the chair.
His face looked serious at this time, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Although Xu Dingfang is the commander-in-chief of the Jiangnan Army, few people know that he sometimes can't help himself.
