Not knowing where he got the news, Zhao Chen finally knew who was commanding the Fengjiang Air Force that had been bombing him.
A royal family of Dahua - to be precise, a declining royal family of Dahua. He was captured by the Tang Empire in the last war and was just a fighter pilot.
This person went to the pilot training school of the Tang Empire and lived in the Datang Empire for at least 5 months... Of course, this information was told to Zhao Chen by a Fengjiang pilot who was shot down.
Zhao Feng took his experience of studying in the Tang Empire as an achievement and showed it off everywhere. Even Fengjiang's pilots could almost recite this nonsense.
Now Zhao Feng is the commander of Fengjiang Air Force. His command style is very fierce. He often sends planes to attack ground targets without even caring about the losses.
Judging from the effect of the air strikes, this Zhao Feng is definitely a very powerful air force commander: Zhao Chen's troops suffered heavy losses and were constantly harassed by the air force commanded by Zhao Feng.
In fact, what Zhao Chen didn't know was that the main reason why Zhao Feng fought so fiercely was because of the fuel. Neither the plane nor the pilot belonged to him...
He doesn't have to worry about the loss of these pilots and aircraft at all, and he also has enough fuel, so he is eager to get results so that he can report to his real superiors.
In fact, most of the Toyie pilots had been lost a long time ago. The war had been going on for more than half a year, and the Toyie pilots who were still alive were already the best among the veterans, the best among the best.
In fact, those who have been fighting against the Dahua Empire pilots are all pilots from the Chu Kingdom, pilots from the Ice Empire, pilots from the Poplar Empire, and even pilots from the Mirage Kingdom.
Moreover, most of these pilots are on a rotation system. After two months of fighting in Fengjiang, they will be transferred back to the country, and new recruits will join the battle to improve their flying capabilities.
In fact, the pilots of the Datang Empire often participated in the Fengjiang air battle, but they all took off from the Dongfengjiang Airport on the Datang Empire side to fight against the Dahua aircraft that attacked Fengjiang.
Countries around the world are using Fengjiang as a base for military training: after mastering actual combat capabilities and being exposed to the advanced weapons and technology of the Tang Empire, the actual combat effectiveness of each country has actually been improved accordingly.
The air force pilots from various countries who have always had a strong will to fight and a determined fighting spirit have allowed the Toyojiang Air Force to maintain a very high level of combat effectiveness.
They often take to the skies for combat, and in recent days have focused all their attention on attacking ground targets.
There are two types of ground attack aircraft in the Toyoe Air Force. Except for a small number of Yin Er 2 attack aircraft, the rest are Stukas.
The Chu State assisted Fengjiang with a large number of Stukas. In fact, everyone knew that 80% of these Stukas were given by the Tang Empire.
With a large number of Stuka bombers, Fengjiang's troops continued to attack the ground, causing great trouble for Zhao Chen's troops who were eager to break out to the west.
Now as soon as it breaks out, Zhao Chen can hear the annoying sound of the damn Stuka with the buzzer: For the troops in the encirclement, that terrible sound is indeed like a disaster.
Because he lost all air superiority, Zhao Chen had no way to intercept Fengjiang's aircraft. All the Dahua Empire's aircraft that supported him have now run away.
Some of them directly became Luo Xiao's trophies in Hezhe, and some of them retreated to Xiajuan. Planes taking off from Xiajian could not fly to Hezhe to support Zhao Chen, so Zhao Chen's current army was running naked.
Originally, the Dahua Empire had temporarily built several temporary field airports halfway from Hezhe to Fengjiang. However, the pilots at these airports, fearing that they would be surrounded, immediately flew their planes back to Xiajuan.
Zhao Chen sent a telegram asking the planes nearby to divert to the field airport to participate in the war, but the other party directly refused: In a war like this, who wouldn't think about themselves?
We still don’t know who will be the emperor. How can we enjoy the glory and wealth in the future if we don’t have any chips in our hands? If we go to support Zhao Chen who is already surrounded, isn’t it because we are full?
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Chen didn't even think about being angry: the little aviation fuel left in the field airport was taken away by the troops who were short of fuel. Even if those planes flew back, they would have no fuel to continue taking off to participate in the war.
Seeing the aircraft ammunition and some parts scattered beside the airport runway, as well as the paralyzed aircraft on the airport runway, Zhao Chen was heartbroken.
These planes were unable to fly due to malfunctions, so they were abandoned and left behind. Some of the parts on the planes had been dismantled and taken away, and some still seemed to be in good condition.
But they couldn't fly, and the ammunition couldn't be used because the caliber was different from the army's. Countless things that had been spent on manpower and material resources sent to the front line were just discarded on the ground like garbage.
For a group of people preparing to break out, anything that cannot be taken away is garbage and a burden that can be thrown away at will.
Compared to Zhao Feng, the name Luo Xiao made Zhao Chen itch with hatred: it was this man who led his troops to capture Hezhe and blocked Zhao Chen's way.
This Luo Xiao and Zhao Chen had never heard of it. What he had been studying were actually "famous generals of the Tang Dynasty" such as Redman, Tiger, Strauss and Burton.
It's a pity that he didn't have a decent chance to fight against such a famous general of the Tang Dynasty in the end, and the person who plunged him into the abyss of eternal damnation was a young general he had never heard of.
I heard that this Luo Xiao was only in his early 30s this year. I heard that before he was 20 years old, this Luo Xiao was just a captain of Qi State and only led 3,000 people.
But now, this Luo Xiao actually commanded an army of 100,000 men, standing in front of him, Zhao Chen, and achieved an incredible feat of three battles and three victories!
That's right, two days ago, Luo Xiao led his troops to launch an assault eastward. In the first battle, he defeated Zhao Chen's vanguard troops near Hezhe.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Luo Xiao pushed forward crazily for 70 kilometers and caught Zhao Chen by surprise. Zhao Chen had to come to the front line in person, organize troops to counterattack, and prepare for the unsteady foothold.
Luo laughed hard.
Who knows if anyone still remembers that there used to be a circular defense line between Hezhe and Fengjiang? Yes, Luo Xiao made full use of this abandoned defense line to block Zhao Chen.
The second battle was fought on the ruins of this line of defense. Originally, this line of defense was built by the Great China Empire, and its front faced eastward...
That's right, in Luo Xiao's hands, this line of defense played its due role. Zhao Chen attacked fiercely for a whole day and lost 3,000 troops, but he just couldn't break this hard nut.
There are reasons why Zhao Chen's troops have lost their morale, and there are also reasons why the planes overhead are constantly harassing them. Of course, there are also reasons why this line of defense is really disgusting.
But after all, in the second fight between Zhao Chen and Luo Xiao, Zhao Chen still lost. He failed to recapture the line of defense, so his troops had to wait in place for another day.
Yesterday, unexpectedly, Luo Xiao took the initiative to launch a second attack: while Zhao Chen was anxiously dispatching troops to stabilize his position, Luo Xiao sent troops to continue the attack, advancing at least 20 kilometers eastward!
Originally, Zhao Chen was commanding the collapsed rearguard troops in the east to fight the approaching pursuers from the Fengjiang direction. As a result, the pursuers here were not repelled, and the western defense line behind him was broken again.
Zhao Chen, who was so angry that he couldn't stand it all of a sudden, fainted and died in his headquarters. By the time the doctor woke him up, it was already dark.
In this way, the 800,000-strong army stopped in place and wasted another night. Early this morning, only 700,000 were left!
Part of the western troops surrendered to Luo Xiao, and part of the rearguard troops were overtaken and surrendered to Zhao Zheng and Zhao Yu. It was almost equivalent to saying that Zhao Chen did nothing, and one-eighth of the 800,000-strong army was reduced!
After Zhao Chen woke up, he fell into deep thought: Didn't these people have many of his allies in the past? Isn't Zhao Yu a prince who doesn't deserve to be on the stage? Isn't Zhao Zheng just a young general with average ability? Isn't Zhao Feng just a pilot?
? He had never heard of Luo Xiao before.
Now, these people actually surrounded him and gave him no chance to break out and escape!
But these people, these people who he looked down upon in the past, have now trapped the last half of the Dahua Empire's field troops in place.
"General!" Seeing Zhao Chen in a daze, an officer couldn't help but remind him: the enemy is attacking, and as the commander, he must find some way.
"The armored forces have already moved up..." The commanders of several tank divisions reported the situation: "The attack can start at any time! However, we lack maintenance parts and insufficient fuel, and only half of them have reached the position..."
The logistics supply of the Dahua Empire is at the level of the early World War II. It would be good if normal operation can meet the needs of the frontline troops. Now that there are air strikes overhead and the troops have been surrounded, it is impossible to ensure the normal operation of the armored forces.
By demolishing the east wall to make up for the west wall, and using two tanks to build one, they barely managed to get the number of tanks needed for the attack.
But in fact, Zhao Chen has lost the courage to fight to the death. Compared with ability, Zhao Chen and Feng Kezhi are actually about the same, but the biggest difference between him and Feng Kezhi is that when Feng Kezhi was in the Dahua Empire, he still had
He has a desire to survive, but what Zhao Chen has been thinking about from beginning to end is just to preserve the remaining scraps of the Great China Empire.
It wasn't until this moment that Zhao Chen realized that as a general, he had lost his desire to win. He had already lost a few years ago...
Looking at the pistol on the armed belt hanging on the wall, Zhao Chen sighed. He had no determination to commit suicide, and he had never even thought that he should be buried for this country.
Although, he is a royal relative of the Great China Empire.
"Send a telegram to Zhao Yu... Just say... I am willing to surrender!" In the end, for the sake of his own face, or because he still had illusions about the return of the 700,000 troops following him to Dahua, Zhao Chen chose to contact Zhao Yu first.
