Chapter 712 Chapter 16.30 (Part 1) Withdraw and return to the original route
"Deep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep."
With the loud sound of the charge, the sound was heard in many areas of the dusty trenches of Swan City.
The Hughes Group is trapped in the area of "Reed Park" and "32nd Railroad Street".
The rebels in Swan City have used trench extension tactics to divide and surround the invading Imperial troops, leaving many small openings so that the Imperial infantry can evacuate, while the Imperial armored troops are tightly trapped in the encirclement, unable to move.
Now the ability of the Empire's heavy armored troops to rampage has disappeared. Anti-tank mines are randomly placed on the streets, so that the air pressure lifting device at the bottom of the huge Empire's tracked tanks is always broken. The tanks lying down cannot be used due to the battlefield smoke perspective.
Supporting the imperial infantry in combat has become a decoration.
Under the cover of fire from gas tank projectile cannons, soldiers armed with bolt-action rifles jumped from diesel trucks the size of pickup trucks and occupied territories that had been casually rolled over by the empire's heavy tanks dozens of days ago.
On the battlefield, the armored belts on both sides of the empire's overweight vehicles were trapped in the ruins. Only the secondary guns were still firing continuously. The 70mm quadruple cannons were like jets of fire, sweeping across the battlefield ahead.
, the intensive suppressive firepower set the front positions on fire, and they were unable to take aim, but the main guns did not dare to move.
Because the imperial soldiers themselves could not withstand this storm of artillery fire.
…Fire tunneling has always been a serious problem faced in multidimensional industrial wars…
As ordinary soldiers, the firearms on hand still have a rate of fire limit. On the eve of the uprising, most rebels could only use six-round bolt-action rifles. This was not a question of industrial productivity, but whether the spirit could withstand "gunpowder"
"Tunnel" recoil problem. (Just like the modern Desert Eagle, there are actually not many people who can hold it and shoot it stably.)
If we look at each person from the etheric realm, regular soldiers and temporary militiamen are different, and the content of iron and fire in their souls is different.
The war gradually turned into night.
Enma confirmed that his own trenches had advanced to 300 meters from the Hughes Armored Group, and immediately issued a general attack order.
At this time, the rebels on the front line had already deployed the rail gas tank artillery. After deploying it, this heavy firepower, the ace of street fighting, was ready to fire a volley.
As the countdown started, it was like a grand fireworks display unfolded in the city. The gas tank bombs ejected from the cylinder hit the six Land Cruisers in "Reed Park" and "32nd Railroad Street" like a downpour.
These land cruisers wanted to escape during the explosion, but they hurriedly reached Ivy Street. There was a loud noise, and the "Omo" in the center of the cruiser column encountered a "small volcanic eruption" directly on its chassis.
That's right, the rebels buried three tons of explosives in the pits on the retreat of the empire's heavy armored forces, and stacked hard manhole covers on top to form a "concave blasting metal jet."
Enma looked at the completely slumped Imperial armored vehicle and clapped his hands: "Tsk tsk, no matter how thick the armor is, no matter how strong the concept is, there are enough explosives."
Hughes, who was at the center of the explosion, climbed out of the damaged hatch of the cruiser, looked at the burning fire spots around him, and said feebly: "This, this is the rebels, hiding their strength!"
In the eyes of this Hughes, the city garrison led by the postman has been defined as the first-class powerful army in the empire.
From the uprising to the present, General Enma has clearly defined the combat power of the rebel army: in terms of combat capability, it is mid- to low-end. In terms of firepower, it is even more inferior. The only advantage is that its morale is several times higher than that of the old army.
However, Enma will not resort to "massive casualties" tactics just because his troops have the confidence to withstand the casualties.
As a boy from the countryside, Enma has always been very careful in life and is very concerned about any form of loss, let alone human life. In the army, it is emphasized that if you can "use your brain", you should not be reckless. If you have successful experience, you must promote it.
Now a unique military soul has been formed.
The birth of such a force is no less important to Iron Star than transporting away "the means of production" and "worker organizations."
Enma looked at the imperial legions fleeing in embarrassment in the night: Regardless of the current calculations of the conservative faction in the empire and the opportunists in the revolution, the iron star has its own way.
In the dark night, Enma's face was as pale as iron, and his eyes staring at the remnants of the empire were like an eagle staring at a mouse.
The "strategic retreat" planned by Enma will not change due to the current situation.
But before retreating, all inventories and remaining military surplus must be transferred to the Imperial Army that is currently besieging them.
...Honest people can also be angry. Enma is not a loyal and courageous, pure soldier. Enma: I am not of high quality...
On the Imperial Army's side, all five knight-level heavy tanks collapsed, along with the three-hundred-ton missile vehicles in the rear and the five-hundred-ton mechanical spiders that were also bombarded, destroying the concept and starting to burn, melt, and soften.
, and eventually become scrap metal.
Sugamat's corps was unable to respond in time and was intercepted at a distance of thirty kilometers. He watched helplessly as Hughes's corps was blown up on the other side of the encirclement.
The combat vehicle that Hughes was riding in was also bombed by rows of heavy-duty rockets and was blown to pieces. Hughes could only activate his personal teleportation device in the end and returned to the rear industrial position.
As a heroic unit, his personal vehicle was destroyed instantly, which meant that the entire imperial army was completely defeated. During the subsequent pursuit, all the mecha units were blocked by various weird things such as entangled steel cables, and fell into the river.
During the battle, it is impossible for the imperial heavy machinery units to surrender, because in the central unit, in order to ensure the stability of the concept, the mental power of the soldiers is in the rotation of the mechanical concept. Once the war machine starts, the mental power of the soldiers cannot be separated.
So it was probably after it was destroyed that it crawled out unconscious and was captured.
In this battle, the Revolutionary Army achieved an unprecedented victory and captured 20,000 Imperial troops including the artillery position and the forward baggage regiment. The Imperial flag was thrown down from the south bank position and the iron star was welded to the top of the flagpole.
The news spread, and the whole country was shocked. However, just when all parties in the empire were working on this, and telegraphs and public opinion began to compete with each other.
News came from Swan City that the imperial army's forward troops and the rebel troops were holding peace talks.
Of course, the imperial capital rebuked the frontline generals for their reckless actions, but following the news of the peace talks, after the rebels withdrew from the encirclement and gave way to Swan City, various revolutionary parties began to protest.
…Enma’s conditions are: the imperial generals allow their side to move to the north with industrial materials and population, and transfer the city themselves…
During the Swan City Raid War, while recovering from his injuries in the Imperial Battlefield Sanatorium, Hughes watched the radicals among the revolutionaries surging and clamoring, and crushed the newspaper.
Although he did not deny that this was a complete defeat. This was the first time that the Imperial Army was annihilated and captured division-level combat forces in a battle with the rebels. But the main force in this battle was by no means those in the newspapers.
The speculative radicals clamoring on the Internet.
First, he underestimated the enemy and raised pigs for the Swan City rebels for a month, only to be overturned.
Furthermore, he admitted that the defenders in Swan City were worthy opponents, especially the commander who he had previously thought was a countryman. He was a tactical genius.
Finally, after the war, the two sides decided to reconcile. After starting to break away from the hostile relationship, the two sides had a conversation and game across the screen, and Hughes felt a bit like a heroic sympathy for his enemy.
But Hughes knew that once he agreed to the postman and sent this army back to the north, there would be endless troubles in the future.
...But at this time, the Imperial Army in the direction of Swan City can no longer afford it. The current situation has changed, and the army has become an asset for the generals to settle down...
In Swan City, Enma watched a series of industrial furnaces such as "steel", "chemical industry" and "machining manufacturing" being packed into the car and let out a long breath.
If the defenders maintain the blockade, there will be no way they can transport away these equipment, which often weighs thousands of tons.
But now it can be easily transported to the ship, and then transported to the northern base area via heavy-haul railway. Of course, along with all the technical personnel and family members, a community has been rebuilt in the northern base area according to their needs.
As for why we should evacuate instead of continuing to hold on, no matter how the outside world discusses it, the entire city has reached a consensus.
...During a struggle, if someone pinches the windpipe, it means you are not fighting for yourself, but being used as a gun by others...
In the military command headquarters, Enma stated this: Under the current military situation, although our army has severely damaged one division of the Imperial Army, the Empire still has three divisions on the periphery, and there are eight divisions in the direction of the Imperial Capital.
,The most important thing is that in the early battles, the imperial army did not try its best to block our supply lines.
Nowadays, the so-called support in other cities in the "Guangfu District" is only verbal. We are reluctant to even give verbal support, for fear that we have achieved great success and suppressed their limelight.
As for stabbing us in the back, there are countless others. In this battle, a large amount of supplies have been almost consumed, and I can't find a suitable reason to continue to hold on.
Enma held a military ration bread bag in his hand and pointed to the price tag on it. There were three price tags on it. The innermost factory price tag was 1.5 pence. When it was shipped to the front line, the outermost price tag was 7 pence.
Five pennies.
The bureaucrats at the rear who speculated on entering the reform camp and did not even act out their evil deeds have now become a flame that is difficult to extinguish for the rebels in Swan City.
Regarding the civil affairs system, Enma mobilized like this: "Everyone, I know that some people want to stay and are unwilling to leave this big city and go to the cold northern regions. It's okay to stay, but listen to what I have to say about the consequences.
You decide later.
As a large city that has rebelled, the empire, as a ruling group, will never let go of any "rebellious" grass.
Narrator: Enma predicts that once the empire retakes a big city, its upper-level bureaucrats will brutally purge the city. Even if the top leaders of the empire don't want to be so crazy, they will have to use ruthless officials due to lack of manpower.
The current situation in the empire does not tolerate the mercy of the upper echelons of the empire. They will use the most brutal means to retaliate against the cities they have recaptured in order to deter other big cities that are still opposing them. So we have to leave now, and we must take all women and children with us.
I can guarantee that if nothing like that happened in Swan City, I would still be able to come back.
…Just like that, the “swan” spread its wings with all its strength and left the dangerous lake that was about to freeze.…
On April 24, 1931, the rebels in the Empire's Swan City completed their evacuation after occupying the city for three full months and handed over the defense area to the Empire's Fifteenth Group Army, the Sugmat Division.
.When handing over the defense area, the rebels dismantled all large equipment.
The three-hundred-meter-long airship like a rugby ball can finally hover directly above the city without being attacked by missiles. Sugmat looked at the city that had been cleaned up by the main roads, frowned and said: "Maybe, we
The team we let go will be in greater trouble in the future."
