Chapter 1530 Fearlessness can also be contagious
"What the Black Hawk Empire tribe wants is not surrender, but destruction. Only by destroying our nation can they rest assured and plunder the resources on the land of our kingdom. They have coveted the land of our kingdom for thousands of years, and finally launched a war when the tribe of our kingdom was the weakest.
This war is a national war, it has nothing to do with justice and evil, but it has something to do with the survival of the country. Without a country, there is no home, and without a home, there is no you and me.
This war is a national war, which concerns the survival of the entire nation. If it fails, the lives of the Central Plains will be devastated, nine out of ten households will be empty, and thousands of miles of hunger will be killed." Liu Lang's metallic voice spread throughout the audience.
There is silence in the wilderness.
"Perhaps, many of you will think, just as you said just now, anyone will say that if you have the ability, go to the battlefield of Haicheng, go to the Black Hawk Empire, and then come back to the Black Hawk Empire. Then I will tell you that the Qiu Tong Army belongs to the battlefield, on the way to the battlefield, which is called Huangsucheng. Where are the more than 10,000 soldiers of the Qiu Tong Army, who have been fighting with the Black Hawk Empire for two days and nights? My Liu Lang's entire army is going to go wherever we go and walk with you.
I ask you, at any time, to bring your robes, even if he is dead."
After saying that, Liu Lang stared at the wounded soldier who was dead beside him and said to Wang Zhang who had been silent for a long time: "I am powerless to save him. Please ask Deputy Commander Wang to express his grief to the family of this brother on my behalf. My orderly soldier will send me this month's military salary as an etiquette."
"Start!" Liu Lang, who got on the car again, waved his hand and the huge convoy started again.
This time, Liu Lang did not implement the military confidentiality regulations, and perhaps there was no need to keep it confidential. Since the Black Hawk Army used HNA to launch a large-scale air strike on the Independent Regiment's convoy, it was no secret that the Independent Regiment went to Huangsu City among the top leaders of the Black Hawk Army.
The 10th Army may have set up a net, but what is there? There are nearly ten thousand robes waiting for them. Even if it is not for the chance of hundreds of thousands of troops, the Independent Regiment will still rush to Huangsu City toward the moth that is blowing the fire.
For the officers and soldiers of the 21st Army, this news is undoubtedly even more shocking.
Hundreds of thousands of troops in Haicheng know that the Huangsucheng defenders were blocking the 10th Army of the Black Hawk Army for them. The longer they blocked, more troops would withdraw from the large encirclement that the Black Hawk Army was about to form. The reason why they ran so embarrassed was that no one would believe that the 43rd Army could withstand longer. Perhaps today, or perhaps tonight, when Huangsucheng was broken, the troops that had not had time to withdraw would become the lambs to be slaughtered in the encirclement of hundreds of thousands of Black Hawk Army.
However, there was such a colonel officer who led such a unit of less than 10,000 people and told himself that they were going to Huangsu City.
The reason is that they want to die together with Qiu Tongjun robes.
Everyone knows a saying: Even if there are thousands of people, I will go there!
At this moment, anyone who has heard this sentence deeply understands the meaning of this sentence.
When everyone retreated, there was such a lonely army, going upstream, like a desperate fish, stubbornly moving forward, even if the terrible fishing net was already covered.
"The whole army of the two infantry regiments of the 23rd Army of the General Qiu Tong Army is about to rush to the battlefield of Huangsucheng, and to inform the entire army of hundreds of thousands of troops in our Haicheng to withdraw and block the Supreme Command of the Black Hawk Empire Army, and order the entire army to pay tribute to the brave and fearless comrade Qiu Tong Army!" A few miles away, General Liao, the commander of the 21st Army who received a speech from Liu Lang in front, walked out of the temporary command center, remained silent for a while, and killed the Jin Jie Tie. "At the same time, the whole army was ordered to store all the wounded soldiers along the way, no matter which unit he belonged to, and the military law was carried out!"
With the issuance of the military order from the 21st Group Army Command, personnel and materials on the road moved away at a faster speed, and all road surfaces gradually became empty.
A huge convoy carrying thousands of people gradually accelerated on the road and rushed towards Huangsu City.
"Everyone has it, salute!" Wang Zhang, who was standing on the roadside, watched military vehicles passing by him, gathered his strength and roared.
Headed by him, the 72nd Division Guard Company, the 174th Division, the 173rd Division... rows of soldiers raised their right arm high.
This is the second salute for many of them today. The first time was to the hero's mother, and this time, to his fearless comrade-in-arms robe.
The eyes that are not full of vitality are beginning to shine because of fear; the waist that is hunched because of fatigue is beginning to straighten.
Fear can be contagious, fearlessness can be also.
Any era needs role models.
The hero's mother is a role model, and the thousands of officers and soldiers who are walking against the current are role models. The power of role models invisibly soaks the bones of all officers and soldiers standing on both sides of the highway.
During the long war against the Black Hawk Empire, no one surrendered to the blood of the Xizhou wolf soldiers of the Black Hawk Empire Army, and returned.
Throughout his life, Liu Lang never met the major general of the Army who saw him off again. In other words, there were very few officers and soldiers of the 21st Group Army who had met him and who had met him here.
Because most of them died in battle.
On the way to retreat, the 21st Army was ordered to guard the second lifeline of the Haicheng Army retreating along the highway. The 21st Army reappeared the glory of the Wolf Army in Xizhou, and used the strength of a single army to fight against a full division of the Black Hawk Empire Army, with a sea of corpses and blood, but did not take a step back.
Major General Wang Zhang, who was promoted to Lieutenant General of the 72nd Division during the war, died in this battle with two regiment commanders, four battalion commanders, ten company commanders and more than 3,600 officers and soldiers of the entire division. After this battle, only a thousand people in the 72nd Division, which had a total of ten thousand people, withdrew from the position, and everyone was injured.
The 60,000 elite Xizhou troops who rushed to the Haicheng battlefield will eventually be able to participate in the next equally cruel Wubincheng battle, but only ten thousand people.
Liu Lang, who had already made great efforts to express his intention to rush to Huangsu City, had no concealment. The field radio station of the regiment headquarters started to operate, informing the General Staff and the 43rd Army of his approximate location, and how long does the 67th Army of Telecommunications take to rush to the battlefield.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! The 67th Army of the Northern Army heading to Huangsu City along another road was also sailing against the current. There were more kingdom troops who chose to retreat from Kunshan. The entire road was crowded with more than 200,000 troops and a larger number of refugees.
The military orders of any level were not good at such crazy moments. The 67th Army, which was blocked, abandoned some of its supplies in a hurry, and even the artillery was dismantled and the soldiers carried it hard to advance towards Huangsu City in the wilderness.
Although they are closer to Huangsu City, they are still behind the Independent Regiment. As soon as possible, they will not be able to reach the battlefield tomorrow evening.
That means that the 43rd Army will have to fight the Black Hawk Army in Huangsu City for more than 36 hours, which is not the time it takes to delay if the Black Hawk Army uses bombers to bomb the road and the wilderness on both sides during the day.
The main force behind the support is still on the way, but the war is already in full swing in Huangsu City.
Neither Ding Beiwei nor Guo Junli, the lieutenant generals of the two countries, probably did not expect that the street fighting in Huangsu City would be so cruel.
Neither the Sixth Division nor the 43rd Army had any experience in street fighting, but one side had to attack and the other side had to defend. Countless soldiers on both sides were devoted to the houses and inconspicuous alleys by the officers.
The sound of gunfire, grenades, grenade explosions, and the screams of soldiers on both sides are the main themes of the battle between the city and streets that are not familiar with.
To be more precise, death is the main theme of street fighting.
At the Black Hawk Army Front Command, 800 meters away from Huangsu City, Gu Tian's face looked even worse than when he learned that more than a thousand people were killed in battle under his command yesterday.
In just 4 hours, the battle reports submitted by the three infantry brigades that invaded the city showed that more than 700 people were killed in battle, more than 800 soldiers were injured, and more than 200 people were killed in battle through the moat ahead, and were swept by the kingdom machine guns and covered in artillery fire. This was equivalent to the death of an imperial officer and soldier with an infantry brigade of troops.
But tragic that he died in battle yesterday as many people. At least he occupied the battlefield two or three square kilometers outside the city. However, today he suffered such terrible casualties. His troops actually pushed the position 500 meters into the entire Huangsu City urban area.
The entire Huangsu City is like an irregular circle with a radius of more than 1,500 meters. According to this calculation, if he wants to conquer the command of the Kingdom Army, he will have to pay twice the casualties, which means that the five infantry brigades under his command can be abolished.
It also means that when Huang Sucheng was captured, he, the major general of the army, could bring the two equally pale army colonels with commanding knives to apologize to His Majesty.
There are only a few commanders left. If you don’t die, what else can you do? Do you really think that Your Majesty will pay you a salary and let you have idle meals?
This battle cannot be fought any longer. This was Gu Tian’s first thought after seeing the battle report.
But he is just a major general brigade leader, and he can decide the tactics on the front line, but it is not enough to change the strategy of the entire division.
Ding Beiwei was much more determined than his general from the academy. The huge casualties did not shake his determination, but instead ordered the Black Hawk Army, who entered the city from three sides, to continue the attack.
Because Ding Beiwei knew that once he ordered a retreat, the Kingdom army would once again occupy buildings and streets that cost a lot of casualties. If he wanted to come back, he would still have to pay today's casualties. What he had to do now is not to cherish the casualties, but to persist, to be tougher than the Kingdom people. Whoever persists to the end will be the winner.
He believed that the losses of the kingdom were equally huge.
Yes, street fighting is a terrible double-edged sword.
For the entire 43rd Army, the close-killing street fighting made the Black Hawk Army lose the assistance of the terrible heavy artillery, and brought the heavy equipment of both sides back to the same starting line. However, street fighting also tests the soldiers' individual technical and tactical capabilities, and the response and shooting accuracy are extremely important. In this regard, the overall strength of the Black Hawk Army is obviously greater than that of the 43rd Army. If it weren't for the advantages of letting officers and soldiers familiar with the geographical environment of their respective defense zones one day in advance, and the advantages of deploying many firepower points and underground pipelines in advance to transport reinforcements, they would have been defeated in the extremely cruel street fighting.
