Gou Shanquan, Chief of General Staff of the Governor's Office of Fujian Province, led the main generals of Panshi Fortress out of the gate to the south to welcome the arriving reinforcements.
Chief of Staff Gou Shanquan was shocked when he saw the Royal Army of China in the telescope.
When he saw a torrent of steel quickly approaching the Rock Fortress.
The shock in my heart is simply beyond words.
This is the legendary mechanized army.
Chief of Staff Gou Shanquan saw the mechanized army propaganda in the newspaper.
He still couldn't understand what the mechanized army that the Dahua Empire used a lot of words to promote was exactly?
Now that he saw the mechanized army marching with his own eyes, he realized what a terrifying army this was.
The Fujian and European Allied armies relied on animals such as mules and horses to transport supplies.
The power of mules and horses is limited, which limits the upper limit of the army's ability to transport supplies.
They can't run fast at all when mules pull heavy loads.
The speed of mules and horses transporting supplies is slower than the speed of lightly armed soldiers marching on foot.
If Fujian encountered this mechanized army.
They just need to adopt ranger tactics and constantly consume the slow-moving troops.
It only takes a short period of time for Fujian to be defeated.
Chief of Staff Gou Shanquan thought that these were reinforcements to support his own side, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
With this powerful army coming to support them, they will surely win this war.
In the past few months, Chief of Staff Gou Shanquan has blocked the attack of a million-strong European Allied Forces and only lost Constantinople, which was not very easy to defend.
He believed that he was worthy of the cultivation of Fujian King Zhang Yuliang and worthy of the trust in the royal family.
The armed vehicles of the First Army of the Dahua Empire parked about a kilometer away from the Rock Fortress.
The soldiers in the car still opened the door and led the team to meet the Fujian army's warning.
They didn't know whether the Rock Fortress had been breached by the enemy.
Once you relax your vigilance and are attacked by disguised enemy troops, you will suffer heavy losses.
Various cars and trucks from the First Army were parked in this area.
Royal Army Commander Lu Chenyang, Chief of Staff Zhang Lei, and Supervisor Liang Feng went to meet with the Fujian generals under the protection of guards.
The intelligence bureau personnel in the team who had been observing silently walked up to Lu Chenyang's ear and introduced him in a small voice: "The little old man standing in the center with a tired look on his face is Gou Shanquan, the Chief of General Staff of Fujian.
The bearded man next to him is Xu Fei, the guard of the Rock Fortress."
Lu Chenyang nodded, these two generals were the only ones that caught his eye.
When Chief of Staff Gou Shanquan saw the general wearing a marshal's military uniform and a Duke's medal, he knew it was Lu Chenyang, commander-in-chief of the Royal Army of the Great China Empire.
He immediately stepped forward in person and greeted him warmly.
Chief of Staff Gou Shanquan shook hands tightly with Commander Lu Chenyang, and said excitedly: "Thank you so much, you are here.
The pressure in Rock Fortress is extremely high, and I can have a good sleep now."
Commander Lu Chenyang said with a smile: "The Imperial Royal Army has arrived, so you don't have to worry about the Rock Fortress falling into the hands of the enemy."
After saying this, his expression changed and he said in a serious tone: "Chief of Staff Gou, you should have received the order from the King of Fujian.
When the Imperial Royal Army arrives on the battlefield, it will take over the command of the battlefield.
You, the people of Fujian, must obey our orders."
Chief of Staff Gou Shanquan had already received the order from the King of Fujian. He knew that one of the conditions for the Imperial Army to come to support was to gain command of the battlefield.
Fujian is now in a weak position, so this request must be agreed to.
Chief of Staff Gou Shanquan nodded and said: "I already know the conditions of your army and will fully cooperate with your army's actions."
Commander Lu Chenyang saw that the Fujian army readily agreed to this condition.
His impression of the Fujian Army has improved a bit.
Like Chief of Staff Gou Shanquan, he understands the situation of Panshi Fortress.
Knowing that the defenders of Rock Fortress were mentally strained to the limit.
Due to the tight military strength, many soldiers were unable to take a good rest.
Commander Lu Chenyang glanced at the Panshi Fortress generals who came to greet them. Almost everyone had dark circles under their eyes.
He knew that the situation in Panshi Fortress had indeed reached its limit as Chief of Staff Gou Shanquan said.
Commander Lu Chenyang immediately ordered the troops that would launch an attack tomorrow, such as the tank regiment and the self-propelled artillery regiment, to rest in the camp.
Recharge your batteries so that you can unleash your full strength tomorrow.
Commander Lu Chenyang wants to show the strength of the Imperial Royal Army as soon as possible.
He wanted all the forces paying attention to this war to see the strength of the Imperial Royal Army.
As for the remaining soldiers, they immediately boarded the fortress and rushed to the forts and trenches to replace the exhausted Fujian army.
After Chief of Staff Gou Shanquan heard that Commander Lu Chenyang had arrived on the battlefield, the first military order he issued was to change defenses.
He immediately burst into tears and looked at Commander Lu Chenyang with grateful eyes.
He originally thought that the Fujian troops at Panshi Fortress would become cannon fodder.
Unexpectedly, Commander Lu Chenyang's first consideration was to change the army's defense.
The generals of Panshi Fortress behind Chief of Staff Gou Shanquan immediately cheered when they heard the news.
They immediately ordered the Fujian Army and the Imperial Royal Army to change defenses.
Many Fujian troops who returned from the rock fortress and trenches ate pork stewed vermicelli sent by the Imperial Army.
They burst into tears immediately, feeling happy about surviving the disaster and grateful to be respected.
Chief of Staff Zhang Lei stood on the wall of the Rock Fortress. He used his telescope to look at the European Allied Forces in front of him who were preparing to launch an attack.
The European Allied Forces wore military uniforms of different colors and they were clearly distinguishable.
Each country's military has completely different military qualities.
Chief of Staff Zhang Lei is most concerned about the weapons of the European Allies.
He had listened to Emperor Su He's lectures at the military academy and knew that technology, especially military technology, was slowly spreading out and this situation was inevitable.
The only thing the empire can do is to ensure that the technology used by the empire is always leading the way.
The firearms used by the European Allied Forces used paper shell bullets, which had a slower rate of fire and a shorter range.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But this is indeed a qualified breech-loading gun. As long as we continue to develop along this path, we will definitely be able to create firearms that use metal bullets.
The artillery of the European Allied Forces frightened Chief of Staff Zhang Lei.
The technology of this artillery is only a few generations behind the artillery used by the Imperial Royal Army.
Whether it is power or range, the artillery is basically qualified.
Chief of Staff Zhang Lei believes that European countries prefer artillery, and they invest most of their efforts in the research and development and manufacturing of artillery.
No wonder Emperor Su He believed that European countries were a serious threat to the empire's future.
This is how he overcame all objections and used the excuse of Fujian to send troops to Europe.
Even if we cannot defeat and occupy these European countries, we must dismember these countries, interrupt their industrial processes, and restrict their industrial development.
Chief of Staff Zhang Lei saw Commander Lu Chenyang coming to the fortress wall, and he was also surprised to order the troops to change defenses.
He said curiously: "I thought Commander Lu asked the Fujian army to cooperate with our actions.
They are familiar with the terrain here, which will be more conducive to tomorrow's military operations."
Commander Lu Chenyang explained: "I have considered this situation before, but considering the state of the Fujian army.
If you let them go to the battlefield, the results won't be very good.
Having a pig teammate next to you is worse than having no teammates at all.
It is impossible to predict the impact that pig teammates will have.
As for the guides, our current relationship with the Fujian army is not bad. If we make this request, we will definitely arrange for generals who are truly proficient in the terrain to cooperate with our army."
Lu Chenyang had another reason that he didn't say out loud, and that was to let the Fujian army rest. All the results tomorrow would be won by the Imperial Army.
This is more conducive to demonstrating his commanding capabilities and the powerful strength of the Imperial Royal Army.
He learned from private information channels that Emperor Su He was in Europe this time and was not planning to enfeoff a country that was too large.
The area of the largest country will not exceed the area of Zhejiang.
In this way, the number of enfeoffed countries will be much greater.
If it were to enfeoff two or three countries, Lu Chenyang had no chance, but if it were to enfeoff more than a dozen countries.
As long as he performs well in this war, he will definitely have a spot.
Even for the slightest possibility of founding a country, Lu Chenyang would try his best to perform perfectly.
He patrolled the city wall. Many of the artillery on the city wall had been replaced by rapid-fire cannons equipped by the First Army.
The power of the artillery fire immediately doubled several times, and the European Allied forces could have rushed under the city wall.
They were directly stunned by the powerful firepower of Rock Fortress.
Only the fort's large-caliber artillery still uses models produced in Fujian.
But replace it with more elite artillery and almost unlimited artillery shells.
The enemy troops attacking from the fort are much more accurate.
Some military targets that were previously thought to be let go are now included in the attack range after the unlimited number of artillery shells.
The Imperial Royal Army did not hide its strength at all. With the suddenly stronger defensive capabilities of the Rock Fortress, any general could guess that the reinforcements from Fujian had arrived.
Commander Lu Chenyang was not worried at all that doing so would scare away the European Allied Forces.
Even if the European Allies run away, there will still be hilly terrain ahead.
But the European Allied forces marching on two legs would definitely not be able to outrun the mechanized army of the Imperial Royal Army.
Commander Lu Chenyang did not have to worry about the supply of oil at all.
The major oil-producing province of the empire, the Obsidian Province in Persia.
It is closer to Europe than the interior of the empire.
As long as the Imperial Royal Army is on the European battlefield, oil from the Obsidian Province will be continuously transported via tankers.
The sun sets in the west and the sky gradually becomes dark.
The offensive of the European Allied Forces slowed down, and the Rock Fortress was handed over to Chief of Staff Zhang Lei.
Commander Lu Chenyang came to the camp and called Wei Xiaoyong, commander of the tank regiment, and Zhang Wenliang, commander of the self-propelled artillery regiment.
After Wei Xiaoyong entered the camp, he said excitedly: "Old commander, you leave tomorrow's war to our chariot regiment.
Our chariot regiment will never betray your trust, and we will definitely fight this war well and get off to a good start."
Commander Lu Chenyang saw Wei Xiaoyong who was yelling a little.
He glared and said: "Don't talk nonsense now. If you fight this battle well tomorrow, I will personally ask the court for your credit and let your title be mentioned.
If you can't win this war, you can go to the logistics army and raise pigs."
When Wei Xiaoyong heard this punishment, he immediately put away his proud smile, stood up straight and saluted a military salute.
"Sir, the chariot regiment will definitely complete the mission assigned by you."
Commander Lu Chenyang took out the map given to him by the State of Fujian.
The information recorded on this map is very detailed, and the distribution of rivers and mountains is clear and clear, so that people will not get lost.
"After the war began, both European Allied forces were afraid of our reputation and chose to flee.
Or they found that their combat capabilities were inferior to ours and fled in a hurry.
It’s limited by the terrain here and the direction of their country.”
Commander Lu Chenyang pointed on the map and said: "Even if some people are smart, they choose to escape through small roads.
The main force will still take the path they think is the shortest.
Your mission is to take advantage of our army's mobility to gradually annihilate the enemy.
You can fight back the enemy forces all the way, but you will never be allowed to invade Austria."
Wei Xiaoyong, leader of the chariot regiment, asked puzzledly: "Why is this?
I also want to fight all the way to France. I have seen the face of the French before, and I want to teach them a lesson this time."
Commander Lu Chenyang knew that these two men were good generals, but not handsome men.
He explained simply: "The area east of Austria, this is the area where the Slavs live.
People here generally believe in Orthodox Christianity and do not believe in Christianity and Protestantism that are widely spread in Western Europe.
Due to religious and racial conflicts, it is impossible for them to cooperate closely.
Chariots are powerful on the battlefield, but once a lone army penetrates deep, they are very powerful.
Dig more pits for you, or use large mines to blow up the tracks.
I want to solve the tank, and I can think of more than ten ways now.
The European Allied Forces were in the territory of the Slavs, and they could not do such a difficult thing.
But in Austria, there are people everywhere who care about them.
Using this method to deal with the tank regiment will definitely put the tank regiment's line in danger."
Wei Xiaoyong thought about this situation and wiped the sweat from his hands.
"The enemy is doing this, and we really don't have a good solution.
This reminds me of the infantry and artillery coordination proposed by Emperor Su He.
Let the infantry protect something that may be a more delicate tank.
In this way, even if it encounters an ambush, the chariot cannot move in place and becomes an iron coffin.
It can also serve as a fire support point to support infantry against enemy forces."
Commander Lu Chenyang smiled and said: "You will have the opportunity to experience coordinated infantry and artillery combat in the future.
This time we mainly used the mobility of the tank regiment and self-propelled artillery.
The European Allies had never seen a tank charge.
When they encountered a tank, they could not find any tactics to deal with it in a short period of time.
The European Allies will definitely be defeated."
After listening to Commander Wei Xiaoyong's questions, Zhang Wenliang, commander of the self-propelled artillery regiment, also knew what he should do?
The role of self-propelled artillery is to provide fire support for combat vehicles.
If you find a bunker that cannot be captured by tanks, artillery can knock open the locked door with just one shell.
With the cooperation of their two branches of the military, whether they are charging into battle or breaching a fortress, they can solve the problem smoothly without being blocked by anything on the road.
Commander Lu Chenyang explains the tactical arrangements for playing tomorrow.
He looked at the two of them with sharp eyes and asked loudly: "Do you all understand?"
Zhang Wenliang immediately stood up and saluted: "I understand, the artillery regiment will resolutely complete the order."
Wei Xiaoyong was excited, and then said: "The chariot regiment will resolutely complete the order."
