It sounds like it should be a bloody battle, but the battle reports written by the Tang Army's commanders in the end were extremely bland and boring.
Almost all the commanders wrote a running account of what was supposed to be an important tank decisive battle: the enemy tanks rushed towards us, we deployed on the selected position, and then opened fire, destroying one enemy tank after another.
.
Later? Then we started to fight back and rushed over... Well, the enemy surrendered. Everything was so natural, everything was so ordinary, everything was so simple.
When the Tang Army's tanks rushed over, the Qin Army's troops did not even escape. They surrendered and handed over their weapons. There were even many tanks there, but none of them dared to fire a cannon for a sneak attack so close.
The Tang Army’s new tanks.
Later, Liu Guozhu and others met the commander of Qin's 2nd Armored Division who was captured by them, and had a rather sumptuous lunch with him. After the two sides communicated, they realized that it was the terrifying combat effectiveness of Tang Army's tanks.
This Qin army commander was frightened.
The opponent thought that there was also a tank division in front of him, and even suspected that he had been surrounded. He could not contact the friendly troops next to him, and he did not know where the reinforcements were.
With his eyes darkened, he was afraid that the Tang Army's tanks would crush his troops, so he graciously ordered the surrender and made his troops stop resisting.
Hundreds of No. 4 tanks and Qin 4 tanks were in the hands of the Tang Army again. Looking at those No. 4 tanks equipped with long-barreled 75mm tank guns, many Tang Army commanders missed them very much.
There is no way, maybe these tanks are the ones they drove back then. Looking at these familiar equipment, of course, it is easy to get emotional.
Many tank crew members of the Tang Army went to touch these old friends they had not seen for a long time, and some even exchanged their experience with the tank crew members of the Qin Army...
Everyone got together to complain about some of the problems and shortcomings of the No. 4 tank. It was like a woman's ex-husband and her current husband getting together to discuss their experiences...
However, the good times are always short-lived. When the helicopter units of the Tang Army began to hover on the battlefield again, and when the thunder and lightning attack aircraft began to attack the surrounding targets unscrupulously, the tank crews of the Tang Army knew that they were on the road again.
There is no other way, just follow the other person and rush forward quickly. If you get to the position, you can at least get some soup. If you don't get to the position... you won't even be able to pick up the prisoner.
That afternoon, Dongqing City, where Ying'an was located, was beaten into a protrusion by the Tang army. The Qin army was not even ready for battle, and its two wings had collapsed.
Also in the evening of this day, Marshal Taige of the Tang Empire entered Pingfeng, and another armored force of the Tang Empire went south and rushed directly into Shu City.
Once they enter Shu and are controlled by the Tang Army, the two armored groups of the Tang Army commanded by Tiger will have no worries.
They can attack Caili, the Imperial Capital, and Dongqing at will... But all this seems to be a trivial matter to the Qin army.
Because Dongqing and the crucial Blackwater Oilfield are now about to fall into the hands of the Tang army. This is definitely not a good thing for Qin's entire strategic defense.
While Ying Duo was having dinner, he received the news that immediately made him lose his appetite: the Tang army controlled Pingfeng, and almost all the Qin army's efforts to stabilize the front had failed.
He didn't throw the tableware in front of him. After all, Qin had always lived a hard life, and Yingduo hadn't gotten used to throwing valuable things.
However, he still waved his hand impatiently and motioned to the waiter to take everything away. The Emperor of Qin walked back to his office and immediately summoned his prime minister Ying Ke.
"The situation is very passive... Our air force suffered heavy losses, and the army was on the verge of collapse... I don't know why this happened, but facts have proven that going to war with Tang... is indeed an unwise thing." Ying Duo saw his prime minister.
After that, he did not hide his irritability.
Ying Ke was also worried about the collapse of the war situation, but he still gave his objective opinion: "Your Majesty! The situation has collapsed to such an extent, then we have to consider the worst possibility."
"Wang Luo's troops probably won't be saved, so we have to think about how we can still stabilize the defense line after losing so many troops." Ying Ke had actually thought about something before he came, and now he said
It comes out pretty smoothly.
He just paused for a moment before continuing: "Your Majesty, the old capital... must be defended!"
The old capital Ying Ke mentioned was actually the imperial capital of the Dahua Empire. It was not only an important large city, but also the most important transportation hub of Dahua. It was also an industrial area and a populated area...
As long as they hold here, the Qin State can stabilize the northern defense line. At least before winning in other directions, they can block the Tang Empire from the Qin State itself.
"It's too late..." Ying Duo sighed, and handed a telegram from the front line to Ying Ke, somewhat dumbfounded: "Ying'an reported... His troops seem to be unable to safely retreat back to the old capital."
Dongqing was surrounded on three sides, and it was impossible for the Qin army stationed here to escape. The Tang army's field maneuverability was much higher than that of the Qin army. After being bitten, it retreated to the wild to race with the Tang army, which was undoubtedly asking for death.
The choice of road.
Therefore, Ying'an could only allow a small number of troops to retreat to the imperial capital, and most of the troops could only stay in place. Because once they were allowed to leave their defenses, they would only collapse faster.
"What he means is... to risk his life to buy us enough time to strengthen the defenses of the imperial capital..." Ying Duo smiled bitterly. He was proud of having such a loyal and brave general, but he also felt that he had to let such a loyal and brave general
The general died feeling sad.
Although some people are willing to risk their lives to stand in front and buy time for Qin, in fact Qin seems to have lost its last chance.
Ying Ke frowned, thought for a few seconds and then said to Ying Duo: "Your Majesty... then, can the old capital be defended?"
"It's too late to defend." Ying Duo shook his head: "If Pingfeng is still in our hands, it is still possible to dispatch troops and generals to reinforce the old capital... Now that Pingfeng has been lost, the Tang army may move north to attack the imperial capital at any time.
The speed at which our reinforcements can be assembled is definitely not as fast as that of the Tang army."
"Then what should we do?" Ying Ke asked nervously.
"Let the troops assemble near Wangdu first... and see if we can... defend Wangdu." Ying Duo sighed, and abandoned Caili, Xiqing, and Beiku in one go.
