"War is a continuation of politics"

——Clausewitz

When a decision that is forced to make by political factors is interfered with by military operations, it is an absolute tragedy for the soldiers themselves.

At the end of 1948, when the war situation was unfavorable, Du Yuming received a more stable order to retreat while repeatedly telling Kaishengong that he could not retreat, and he could not fight." After miraculously evacuated nearly 300,000 troops from Xuzhou from Su Yu's nose, he suddenly received the order from Kaishengong to take the depressed retreating army to rescue Huang Wei's corps, which led to the last new force of the National Army plunging back into the main force of the People's Liberation Army in Du Yuming's incomprehensible despair, and finally destroyed in Chenguanzhuang. The Huang Wei's corps they were trying to save had already been wiped out before that.

After being captured, Du Yuming hated this order that led to his entire army being wiped out. However, Kaishen Duke also had his own difficulties, that is, the political impact of abandoning the Huangwei Corps was much worse than that of the military. Even if all the evidence at that time showed that the Huangwei Corps was no longer saved. However, for the national army that already had the tradition of "friendly troops were not moving as if they were in trouble", if even the president could order the Huangpu students to "give up" and wait for them to be eliminated by the People's Liberation Army, then even the direct Whampoa Army would be more morale in the future.

He will be even more depressed. Once he is surrounded, he will never expect any rescue. In addition, this president has the habit of commanding on the map and never taking the actual state. In the office far behind, he saw Du Yuming's 300,000 people and several mechanized corps. Although he retreated, he naturally believed that he must have strong combat power. However, there is still a difference between actual combat and playing electronic games. After all, you command people who are thoughtful, fearful, tired and lost. They cannot always obey orders mechanized.

The Tran Empire is also in this state. On the one hand, it is a big fanfare to "conquer the other world" and makes it known to everyone. The high expectations for the investment are the first time since the reunification of the entire empire, from top to bottom. At this time, it suddenly retreated in shame and announced that the operation was completely failed. We sacrificed more than 60,000 people in vain and spent astronomical funds and gained nothing. Then neither the head of state nor the parliament could face such a political crisis, even if they pushed everything to the Count.

There is no way to give the empire a brief explanation. Especially around Longmen No. 4, there are still 300,000 reinforcements of the past imperial army (most of them are young people who have just been recruited). Such numbers are of considerable combat effectiveness for most members of Congress who have no military experience and have no war experience. In addition, I believe that the news that "the enemy has only one brigade" came out in advance, and the first reaction is to use these people, "one person can drown them with one spit."

Faced with General Von Thomas' retreat without permission, even the head of state who had always trusted him was furious. In other words, the "betrayal" by the people he trusted made him lose his mind, and coupled with various small reports from the secret police force, the head of the empire and the congressmen who were far away on the other side of the gate made absolute misjudgment, especially when Congress learned that the Count ordered the retreat without receiving the orders of the superiors, which ignored the orders of the country and the overall situation of the empire conquering the other world. It was also extremely furious. However, for this general with actual command, he was worried that he would not obey the orders, so he directly ordered the secret police to execute him and gave his successor a "warning" by the way.

The selected general Nicolas, who has always been obedient, became the new commander, and with the lessons of von Thomas, this general, who was not very talented but not too outrageous, had no choice but to order all troops to stop retreating and immediately order to turn around and launch an attack on the Chinese army - this was enough to allow the Chinese government to issue a huge medal to him and the entire imperial parliament.

Now, the commanders of the Chinese army can deeply feel the excitement when their senior General Su Yu watched Du Yuming's 300,000 troops return.

Although he just took over General Nicolas only had a slight understanding of the current situation, it did not affect his holding the loudspeaker (communication was interfered with) and the cable phone, and with the help of the echo in the valley, he made a passionate mobilization speech to his troops:

"......The warriors of the Tran Empire, we will be fearless and will move forward bravely, and on this narrow road, tell those enemies - the brave ones who meet on a narrow road win!"

Frontier Tank Battalion of the 87th Brigade of the Chinese Army

Battalion Commander Li Yuexiang looked at the scene taken by the drone in front in a stunned state. In this valley road that was almost like the "Huashan Road", the 15th Infantry Division of the Tran Empire Army opposite, with very limited tank equipment, actually cleared the road it had just blocked. He ordered the infantry to gather in a few light tanks and armored vehicles and launched a frontal attack on the tank troops of the Chinese army. Is this suicide? What about suicide? Or is it suicide?

However, you can't refuse those who come to the door. Li Yuexiang ordered an attack without any hesitation.

The tank battalion rushed towards the enemy in an orderly attack formation, but before they could take action, the air force that had been waiting outside the barrier had already taken action. With the whistling of six J10 fighters, various killing ammunition was instantly shrouded in the team of the 15th Infantry Division, which was still greeting the commander-in-chief General Nicolas, and they were blown away all over the flesh and blood. The soldiers who had been bombarded by the Chinese army and escaped by luck were already so reversal of the repeated turn of the front team, the back team turned into the front team and the front team lost their morale. Under such bombing, they could no longer bear it, and they completely began to defeat and rushed to the rear.

When the tank battalion arrived, there was only a mess left here. There were wreckage of vehicles and supplies and terrifying corpses that were blown to the point of distortion.

"It's your turn!" Li Yuexiang ordered through the communicator.

Several scarred armored vehicles of the Tran Empire immediately drove out of the gap in the tank battalion's queue, rushed forward to the blown smoke and dust, and soon disappeared into the smoke.

"The Trojan team has already set off, be careful not to be injured by accident!" The major released this news to the entire army through the communicator. Then he directed his troops to follow the "Trojan" slowly, maintaining a distance of about 1 kilometer.

At this moment, the Tran Empire Army was completely in chaos. As the 15th Division on the front line collapsed in less than an hour, the defeated army rushed directly into the troops behind, causing chaos, and the troops in the rear were still in a state of chaos where they needed to "turn around and counterattack". At this most unfavorable moment, the Chinese Air Force arrived again.

Accompanied by the roar of jets, more than a dozen J16s arrived. In this valley without any barriers and nowhere to hide, the air defense firepower of the Tran Empire Army Company had not yet been released, and it became the ideal target of the Chinese Air Force - and their air defense firepower was just some vehicle-mounted anti-aircraft machine guns. It was entirely up to faith to shoot down jet fighters.

Without being restricted by various prohibited weapons of mass destruction, rows of incendiary bombs, white phosphorus bombs, cloud bombs and other bombs were covered with carpets, and they were full of confidence just now, dreaming of making achievements in this new world, most of the imperial adventurers who instantly turned into ashes with their equipment.j16 was just the first round of strikes. Next, HNA's Flying Leopard, Air Force's H5K, and even the Y8 gunboat aircraft and Wu Zhi rushed to "join the fun" to show their presence. After pouring all their ammunition into this valley, they left with a full sense of accomplishment after pouring out all their ammunition in the shortest time.

The roads in the valley have become veritable death roads, just like the scene of purgatory in "The Divine Comedy", with wreckage of organic matter that has become unhealthy, and the air is filled with crackling and wailing sounds of dying people. The burning steel and human bodies emit a disgusting smell that makes people unable to breathe.

Those who survived by luck had completely lost their minds and began to run backwards regardless of everything. The orders and the "ambition" of conquering another world had already been thrown out of the sky, and there was only one thing left in their minds - escape. The Chinese Air Force also deliberately carried out "segment bombing" during the bombing, leaving many of the troops of the Tran Empire not affected. The troops that were let go, especially the equipment of the mechanized troops, also began to turn around frantically, fleeing to the rear regardless of everything, constantly crushing their own people who were blocking the retreat into mud...

The order of the entire army has been completely lost. Now even the commander General Nicolas, who escaped by chance, has seen the huge gap in strength between the two sides from the bombing just now, especially those aircraft without propellers. They also understand that they do not use the army at all. The round after round of bombing here can completely blow up the Imperial Army in the most cruel way. Although he is willing to be the head of state's microphone and a politician general, he is still a general who has been in the army for many years, has certain military qualities, and knows that he wants to save his life now.

Therefore, before retreating in a panic, he took the loudspeaker and gave his troops a meaningless order - retreat.

Then, he ran towards Longmen No. 4 as his command car kept knocking away the soldiers in front of him.

In such a panic and chaotic state, naturally no one noticed that a "slightly injured Tran Empire armored unit" mixed with countless defeated soldiers was also moving towards the direction of the gantry at full speed, and knocking all the soldiers and vehicles blocking the road ahead away. In order to run faster, they even began to take the initiative to shoot people blocking the way.

Lu Fan, the captain of the 87th Brigade Special War Company, was nervously concerned about the surrounding situation. There were many "bullet holes" around the armored vehicle as observation holes and shooting holes for people inside. With some external hidden surveillance equipment, the surrounding situation can be observed more clearly.

There was also a loud gunfire outside the car. When the fleeing soldiers saw their vehicles, they began to jump up every possible way. Of course, for this behavior that would slow down the vehicle, the soldier who was responsible for manipulating the machine gun was covered with bandages, and his eyes were exposed and his windshields were wearing a pair of windshields made from the Teran Empire, shooting them without hesitation, knocking them down one by one.

If it were normal, their behavior would have been discovered to have abnormalities and caused siege by the surrounding enemies. However, in this chaos, no one had the heart to care about the situation of this armored force. Not to mention that before the bombing, their communication methods returned to a state of basically relying on roars, and even if someone noticed something strange, it would be difficult to take any action.

So the "Troy" team drove under the tires and rushed towards Gantry No. 4 on the road paved with corpses of the Tran Empire...

Fox Hunting Team near Longmen No. 4

"This... Miss Ksenia" Lv Zhanhe held a translation manual, with a serious expression on his face and tied his hands behind him, but glared at him, Lieutenant Ksenia said in the language of the Terran Empire: "We have a preliminary understanding of the defense deployment of your base, and I hope you can introduce it in detail."

Ksenia glared at Lu Zhanhe, bravely raised her chest, and said righteously: "@#￥%..."

"The tongue is still numb, you should save money!" Lu Zhanhe looked up the dictionary and was very sure that he or the people from the Terran Empire would not understand what the other party said. Then he took out a black hood from his pocket and put it on Ksenia's head.

Peng Dingyuan walked over and looked at Ksenia and said to Lu Zhanhe: "Is it still time for you to interrogate? We have all bombed, and the Troy team will arrive in a while. Without her information, it seems that there is no effect."

"Isn't this here yet? It's absolutely right to collect more information!" Lu Zhanhe said guiltily.

"Collect more information?" Peng Dingyuan sneered: "I think you are afraid that we will silence her directly!"

Special forces often encounter such inhuman problems when performing various secret missions. In order to keep the mission confidential, whether to execute misinformed civilians or prisoners is often a conflict of human nature and responsibility. In 2005, the United States released a shepherd in the "Red Wing" in Afghanistan, resulting in the failure of the operation, and 19 US soldiers were killed. This operation has also become a major lesson in the special forces and has been studied by the global special forces.

Of course, as an old special forces soldier, Peng Dingyuan was very aware of this kind of thing. In his previous lurking, he personally solved the "tongue" he had captured before without hesitation. In the previous operations in Hezhou mainland, he was the first to propose to solve the prisoners that were no longer useful to avoid any possible accidents.

"It's because of this consideration!" Lu Zhanhe said deeply: "The main thing is, look, we are not perverted books like "Zhu Yan Blood" and "Star Han Empire". We have to worry about the series of adverse effects caused by killing the beauty..."

"Okay, okay!" Peng Dingyuan interrupted him directly: "First, I don't like to kill women. Second, I'm just here to tell you that she is useless to us, and the enemy's defense deployment and vigilance are no longer there."

"Not exist?" Lu Zhanhe hurriedly picked up his laptop and switched to the screen that was monitoring Gantry No. 4.

I saw that Longmen No. 4 is now like a Spring Festival train station. Countless people rushed towards the gate that was passing by, with various stampede accidents, and behind them there were continuous defeats. The surrounding anti-aircraft guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, sentries, and other facilities that originally formed the defense system here are now empty, and even the barbed wire mesh deployed around were squeezed out by the crowd.

Because of concern that bombing might cause shock waves to spread behind the gate or damage the road, the Chinese Air Force did not bomb the facilities here. The defenders here first received the order to attack, which was arranged by General Nicolas himself. So when they found that the defeated soldiers were coming from the front, they still carried out their mission of "supervising team", and various types of automatic weapons fired wildly at the defeated army, trying to block the charge of the defeated army.

Of course, with the idea that if you stayed and waited for death, you would have a glimmer of chance to escape, these defeated troops were not hesitant to take out various weapons and shoot crazily with the defenders, and even directly used tanks and armored vehicles to attack, resulting in heavy casualties on both sides. However, the defenders here could not defeat the defeated troops who were eager to survive. In addition, the fleeing officers announced more than once that they had received orders for retreat. Over time, the spread of this fear made these defenders lose their fighting spirit and start to take the lead in escaping. The entire Longmen No. 4 was suddenly in chaos.

"So, don't worry, I'll put her back openly now, and no one will listen to what she says!" Peng Dingyuan directly gave Lu Zhanhe a reassurance:

"So as long as you don't violate discipline, let her get infected with the "Stockholm syndrome" or play a special routine of Japanese romance action movies, it's up to you."

"I'm not the unconscionable person of Wu Zuren!" Lu Zhanhe stood up, walked to the exoskeleton mecha and began to wear the exoskeleton mecha, and then began to detect his "magic rifle" - with the power of their magic rifles, they had the ability to "blow" the people at the door of Longmen No. 4 directly.

"But what will they do in the end?" Lu Zhanhe, who was wearing an exoskeleton mecha, asked as he looked at Ksenia.

"What else can we do? Ordinary prisoners of war. We have caught a lot of them before, but now we can catch a lot of them again. It just so happens that we need manpower to build infrastructure here." Peng Dingyuan also led his subordinates to prepare his own equipment. Several PP93-type mortars were set up and aimed at the direction of Gantry No. 4.

"The Troy Squad Arrives" a warrior reported.

"Go to do it." Lu Zhanhe ordered.

The 5 exoskeleton mechas took off immediately and flew towards Gantry No. 4...

Gate No. 4

Crazy, panic and endless stampede have caused many casualties. No one can calculate this. Everyone has only one thought left in their minds - escape, escape home, and the farther away from this hellish place, the better.

The "Troy" team also arrived here. After witnessing the madness all the way, the team encountered a serious problem - because there were enemies trying to squeeze into armored vehicles everywhere, the bullets were almost exhausted, and looking at the crowds in front of them, it was estimated that it would be difficult to crush them by crushing them.

At this moment, five exoskeleton mechas fell from the sky and fired at the huge crowd.

Five super-height projectiles flew towards the team, and immediately blew up a storm of flesh and blood, "blowing away" the entire team. They completely defeated the enemies blocked on the road. At the same time, several mortar shells suddenly landed behind the "Troy" team, blowing away the huge crowd behind them.

"Good luck, we'll help you get here, hurry up," Lu Zhanhe said through the communicator. The next second, a rain of bullets flew towards them, and bullets hit their exoskeleton mechas like raindrops. Although the people from the Tran Empire Army were panicked, they were still soldiers and weapons in their hands.

Several magic infantrymen did not hesitate. The submachine guns on their shoulders began to shoot the closest enemy. The magic rifle in their hands immediately opened fire on the enemies who were still crowded in the mountain road. Using magic rifles that were actually Gaussian weapons in such a dense formation was tantamount to a massacre. However, this also gave the Troy team a chance to rush over and disappeared in the wall of the black hole of Longmen No. 4.

Peng Dingyuan immediately sent a signal to his superiors, "The Trojan has entered the city."

At the same time, the roar of Chinese military helicopters sounded again over the valley, but this time they brought no longer death, but a clear broadcast of the Tran Empire language:

"This is the People's Liberation Army of China, this is the People's Liberation Army of China. Immediately put down my weapons and surrender. Our army treats prisoners of war with preferential treatment!"

Looking at the Chinese tanks rumbled into the rear, the soldiers of the Tran Empire who had completely lost their morale threw away their weapons and stood on both sides of the road to surrender. In fact, before shouting, many of their troops had already surrendered in front of Chinese tanks, but the tank battalion had no time to capture them, so they had to disarm and let them report to the command center in Gukou.

For the soldiers of the Tran Empire at this moment, all honors, dignity, courage, etc. have long been thrown into Java. Looking at the comrades around who were tragic in death, the unstoppable tanks and helicopters in the sky, they didn't even want to take revenge, and they just wanted to follow the instinct of human survival and save their lives first.

Apocalypse City Command

The next action plan for the Terran Empire has begun to be formulated, because even if all the Birdman is saved, it does not mean that the threat from the Terran Empire will no longer exist. As a modern country, the information, data, etc. they currently collect are of long-term development value. Moreover, if one day they can complete the Birdman cloning technology regardless of ethical issues, they may be able to open the door again and create new trouble for the Chinese army - as the saying goes: Don’t be afraid of thieves stealing, but be afraid of thieves thinking about it.

However, even if the Chinese army has an overwhelming military advantage, it is not so easy to completely eliminate the threat from the Tran Empire. The problem of birdman consumption alone that keeps the door open is enough for them to have a headache. In addition, some problems such as sending troops, combat, etc., it is estimated that they will not be able to fight the country without defeating it.

So Chu Longcheng made a suggestion at the meeting, detonating the 5 million tons equivalent hydrogen bomb at the gate (after closing the gate), creating a nuclear explosion zone to block the entry of the Tran Empire Army. However, even the nuclear explosion zone will disappear after more than ten years. Don’t you see that Bikini Island, which was originally a tourist destination in the nuclear experimental zone, is now a tourist destination.

Some people also proposed to simply pull the current global nuclear waste and throw it directly on the other side of the gate to establish a new "Chernobyl" to block it, but the high freight costs of transporting these nuclear wastes and the uncertainties and dangers along the way eventually made them abandon this plan.

However, in the end, Secretary Zhong Xinwu proposed a proposal that everyone was satisfied with - the best way to deal with a country and a nation is not to capture by force, but to split them. For example, the United States has "democracy" used a means called "democracy" to "democracy". However, except for the old Europe and Japan and South Korea that are used to fight against China, other countries are often considered developed countries under the banner of democracy and will never improve.

Therefore, the plan to build a special prisoner-of-war camp for the Terran Empire in mainland China was put on the agenda. The person who served as the supervisor and political commissar of the prisoner-of-war camp was Huang Yongming, a political commissar of the Tianqi Public Security Bureau who had rich "political education experience" in China, was preparing to carry out "deep ideological transformation" on these prisoners of war in addition to the work of the prisoner-of-war camp. In the future, out of humanitarianism, these prisoners of war will be put back to the Terran Empire. I believe that the empire would not have the heart to consider the issue of the gate at that time...

The other side of the gate

"Close the door immediately! Don't let those Chinese take the opportunity to come in!" Admiral Nicolas said in panic. This order was supported by several biologists on the side. After all, there was no biochemical isolation gate installed on this side of the empire's gate. That was not because the empire discovered the characteristics of this gate filtering viruses and bacteria, but the people sent it over did not intend to let them come back at all, so this step was omitted. At present, a large number of collapsed troops who were rushing back may come back with a large number of viruses and other things, which made scientists near the gate worried.

But Lieutenant General Goethe, the Chief of Staff, opposed this - his reason was very good. There were so many officers and soldiers on the opposite side who were fooled by you to turn around and charge in suicide. Now you are withdrawing desperately. What about them?

Although strictly speaking, General Nicolas's order is absolute, the generals who just disobeyed the commander-in-chief and "escape back" and were the culprit who turned this failure into a crushing defeat, the generals who escaped by chance did not agree with his order. Instead, they agree with General Goethe's opinion. After all, they are still their own subordinates there.

General Goethe was lucky. Out of distrust of him, he was responsible for supervising the allocation of materials in the gate area in advance, avoiding the bombing of the Chinese army. When he saw that the situation could not be controlled, he quickly brought people to withdraw and deploy defense. His idea was very simple. In this battle, there were probably hundreds of thousands of dead in the Empire, and one more could be rescued. Besides, what are the Chinese people afraid of when they come in? His deployment has been completed. When their vanguard troops come in, they will be hit head-on as soon as they come in. And he can close the gate at any time to see how long this lonely Chinese army without support can resist them here.

So when the two sides were in a stalemate, the Troy team leisurely crossed the gate and entered the territory of the Tran Empire.

It was getting late, and Captain Lu Fan, who was observing through the observation hole, was stimulated by a strong light, and then he found a huge circular defense circle aiming at the gate. A tower was built around him, and the searchlights were illuminating him. In addition to the panicked deserters, there were more than a dozen heavy tanks like the Tran Empire, and the black holes were aimed at the gate. Near the tank, there were countless soldiers hiding behind the sandbag bunker, and they also aimed at them with guns, as if they were facing a great enemy.

On both sides of the gate, you can see two heavily guarded tents, which look very large. From the location, it is just on both sides of the gate that appears out of thin air. It is very likely that the Birdman tribe is imprisoned.

"You, the unit number?" An officer walked up and asked loudly. However, the machine gunner who was holding the machine gun in the armored vehicle did not understand. He just pulled the trigger of the machine gun. The atmosphere inside the vehicle became solemn. The soldiers raised their guns one after another to prepare for battle.

"Did you see the Chinese army?" the officer didn't care and continued to ask.

Looking at the soldier who was still confused and with a bandage on his head, the officer sighed. After so much time, there were many officers and soldiers who had been deaf or lost their minds. Anyway, there were still many defeated soldiers behind him, so there was no need to continue wasting time on them.

"Go to report there now!" The officer pointed his hand at a camp beside him, where deserters were covered with wounded and insane.

"Let's go!" Captain Lu Fan gave an order: "By bypass the enemy's tanks and start the rescue operation!"
Chapter completed!
