Andre, the commander of Bailton Division, looked helplessly at Lu Ming, who was chattering beside him. The Bailton Division is preparing to evacuate Fort Bailton.
Fort Bailton is the capital of Bailton State, an important northeastern town that once guarded the imperial capital. The Duke of Bailton has always been the most accomplished imperial general, rather than a hereditary noble title. It was not until more than 300 years ago that the empire fully established a constitutional monarchy. The political system, the title disappeared in the long river of history.
However, the designation of the Bailton Corps has been retained, but now it has become the Bailton Division with only more than 10,000 soldiers.
Andre never dared to forget the glory of his ancestors, but the problem was that the Bailton Division was not mechanized at all, and there was only a tank battalion directly under the division headquarters, with only twenty or thirty tanks.
The Third Mechanic Division of the Sonia Defense Force, which is about to arrive at Fort Bailton, is one of Sonia's most elite mechanics, a fully armored force with more than 300 tanks.
Bailton's division had no hope of resisting the attack. What's more, the main troops of both sides are now in a state of repair and assembly.
The orders from "Eastston" and even the Northern Army Headquarters ordered the Bailton Division to temporarily abandon Fort Bailton.
The Sonia frontline troops still have legions that are encroaching on their own territory. This is the case with the Third Mechanic Division. Because it entered the Grifenni region late and failed to catch up with the major battle, its commander was holding his breath. Now it is rampaging in the northern region. Moreover, in the northern region, it is true that It is difficult for a griffinian army to pose a threat to it.
from
Under the orders of "Dongston", the Griffinni legions are gradually gathering in the central region, and are also waiting for the materials and equipment provided by the Eastern Alliance. It is said that the eastern heavy industry area, and even the northern region, are all working hard to mobilize their horsepower for production war. A large number of chariots have been continuously transported to the empire on the north-south main railway lines.
Therefore, the piecemeal resistance in the northern region today does not matter at all. Unexpectedly, the normal evacuation of the Bailton Division was blocked by the captain from the Principality of Montenegro.
Captain Lu's command seemed to be an infantry battalion, and it was supposed to be operating in the Newsleton area hundreds of kilometers away, where it was very safe.
Unexpectedly, this small armed force came to the northern front line inexplicably. Captain Lu was still talking.
"Trading territory for time doesn't work like this. We have to stop the Sonia people and beat their arrogance!" For the first time, Lu Ming had to use all his tricks to convince people, and his mouth was dry as he spoke. ,
"The location of Fort Bailton is also very important. Sonia's third mechanic did not obey the orders of his superiors and did not repair. Instead, he kept marching north. It is obvious that his target is Fort Bailton, because the control By crossing the Bailton Bridge, his troops can conquer the northern region, and his mechanical troops will completely take the initiative in the next battle!" Andre said helplessly: "I understand what you said, but , our resistance is just a mantis trying to use a chariot, and it will have no effect except sacrifice in vain. We are not afraid of sacrifice, but a sacrifice without any value is an irresponsible and shameful behavior for the commander." If not. I feel that the other party is a so-called volunteer to support our own war against the invaders. A small leader with hundreds of civilians and armed forces will not meet him at all.
If he didn't want to lose his prestige in front of the third-party soldiers and didn't want the other party to think that he was a coward and fearful of death, there would be no need to explain these explanations.
Lu Ming said helplessly: "But even if you retreat, aren't you ready to blow up the Bailton Bridge?" Andre immediately opened his eyes in surprise. It was obvious that he had never thought about this problem and found it even more incredible.
The Bailton Bridge is the longest cross-river bridge in the empire. It is extremely costly and connects the southern and northern areas of Grifony. With a total length of more than 4,000 meters, it once created a miracle in the history of architecture.
Why blow it up? Lu Ming looked at Andre's expression and shook his head inwardly. Where is this war? What a child's play.
Indeed, even though the Sonyans had already captured the imperial capital, the casualties on both sides were not large. However, the number of officers and soldiers captured and surrendered in the Kingdom of Grifenni exceeded 150,000.
Among them, eight divisions were organized and raised the white flag. But he just saw that things were not going to work and he didn't want to make unnecessary sacrifices after being surrounded, but he would not change his banner and be reorganized into the Sonia army by the Sonia people and turn against him.
The Sonia people are not as cruel to the Grifenni people as they are to the Gaed people or in the Western Region. Those behaviors in the Gede region or the Western Region are strictly prohibited. However, during the war, soldiers killed, set fire, raped and looted, etc. It is impossible to disappear. However, compared with the Gede region and the Western Region, such violations of military discipline The behavior is relatively rare, because if it is confirmed by the first control military police investigation, it will be severely punished.
Of course, the Grifenni who held demonstrations in the Sonia-occupied areas were still fired upon mercilessly by machine guns.
Thinking about it, Lu Ming said: "What if I say that we have a chance to stop the Sonya mechanics and make them come back defeated?" Andre shook his head disapprovingly: "Captain Lu, let's not daydream!" Standing next to Andre all the time was a tall and thin colonel, the chief of staff of Bailton's division, De Bair.
In fact, we know from his surname that he may be related to the last Duke of Bailton, and may be his direct descendant.
At this time, Debyer interrupted: "Captain Lu, do you have any way to stop the Sonya mechanics?" Andre frowned and glanced at him, but said nothing.
Lu Ming nodded: "We have secret weapons and specially trained anti-tank soldiers." Debyer's eyes lit up: "Would you like to hear the details?" Lu Ming said: "Let's see it during the battle. In a while, I will I can’t explain it either.” Andre shook his head.
"Captain Lu, I'm not trying to discourage you. I also admire your courage and perseverance. However, the volunteers you brought are all infantry, and I don't see any artillery or other large weapons. I can make it clear. Let me tell you, even if you fill your truck with gunpowder and get close to the Sonia tank before being destroyed by the opponent, there is not much hope of destroying his tank, unless your truck is a secret weapon with unknown structure, but according to my observation, these trucks seem to be produced in our Greifeni region!" There was a bit of sarcasm in Andre's tone, and he gradually became impatient with this old northerner who had never seen the world. Do you think tanks are that easy to deal with?
You said you have armored troops in the Northern Territory, but do you think they are the same kind of iron cans from decades ago? You country bumpkin, do you still think our tanks are so ridiculous?
De Beer also had some doubts in his eyes as he stared at Lu Ming. His original joy was now shaken by his confidence.
Lu Ming thought for a while and said: "In this way, I only need one regiment to provide cover, and a tank battalion directly under the division headquarters. I hope to stay as well. My battle plan is to attack Sonia's tank division at Bailton Bridge. Launch a blockade, and if it fails, our people will blow up the Bailton Bridge, so the covering troops you left behind will have enough time to retreat."
"What are you doing by blowing up the bridge?! Do you know what a huge impact it will have on the economy of Bayton State?" Andre's tone gradually became stern.
Lu Ming wanted to crack open his head to see what was inside, but he also understood that the Griffinnians and Sonyans had always been one. In fact, no matter which side won the competition in the end, they had no shameful emotions such as subjugation. .
What's more, they have never been baptized by the tragic wars of modern times. The current state of mind of many of their senior generals is completely different from theirs.
Over there, Debyer heard Lu Ming mention it again and again.
"Blow up the bridge", but his eyes are very bright. Obviously, he supports the idea of blowing up the bridge.
"Commander, I am willing to stay and supervise Captain Lu not to blow up the bridge!" Debyer said so, but from the light dancing in his eyes, he obviously thought that staying behind would prove that these Northern Territory people were It's nonsense, but at least it can blow up the bridge, which can seriously hinder the Sonia people from successfully achieving their strategic goals.
Andre frowned, but Debyer had already told the staff officer not far away: "Convey the order from the division headquarters to order the third regiment and the division tank battalion to terminate the retreat and wait for my further instructions!" The staff officer stood at attention and left.
Andre was a little helpless. It seemed that the critical moment was really coming. De Beer didn't like him too much, and there was nothing he could do. In the Bailton Division, De Beer's prestige was probably higher than that of the division commander.
