"Why did the artillery fire stop?" In the tent, the commander of the 3rd Army raised his head and looked at the adjutant next to him.
The adjutant also looked puzzled. He looked at an officer next to him and ordered: "Go and see what happened? Why did something go wrong at such an important time! Let them continue the bombardment! At any cost..."
The officer nodded slightly and rushed out of the camp. Standing over there was the third prince's confidant general and the actual commander of the Qi army on the Western Front, with an ugly expression on his face, still staring at the map.
He promised to take back Luo Town before the third prince arrived here. Now the battle has reached its most critical moment, and as a result, the artillery of the 3rd Army lost its chain.
"The other side's air force is always destroying our artillery... maybe because of the bombing just now..." the commander of the 3rd Army explained helplessly.
The Tang Army's planes were always there, wreaking havoc everywhere. The main targets of attack were the Qi Army's vehicles and artillery. This really caused trouble for the Qi Army's artillery.
Qi's artillery fire was always intermittent, and it was too late to support the Qi infantry who were fighting hard at the most critical moment.
This is also the reason why the Qi army always fell short in several violent attacks and was often driven back when it was close to the Tang army's position.
"I don't care what the reason is! Luo Town is the only way for us to go north! We must...get through this place at all costs!" Tian Heng, the third prince's confidant and general of Qi State, insisted.
He could not live up to the third prince's trust in him. He must lead troops to break through Luo Town so that the third prince could go north and return to Nanye.
"The third prince has arrived!" At this moment, outside the big tent, a guard sang loudly. As soon as he finished speaking, the door curtain was opened, and the third prince rushed in, and threw his gloves as soon as he entered the door.
Followers around you.
"Why haven't you won it yet?" The impatient third prince looked gloomy. He walked to the map and asked his confidant Tian Heng.
"Report to Your Highness! Enemy planes have been harassing us, and it is difficult to assemble the troops, so we wasted some time." Tian Heng immediately replied: "Your Majesty, please be patient. Before nightfall today, I will definitely be able to recapture Luo Town..."
"Well..." After hearing the assurance from his confidant, the third prince's face looked a little better.
This journey was not easy for him. Qi troops were everywhere crowding the roads. His speed in a car was actually about the same as walking.
What made him even more depressed was that from time to time he had to dodge attacks from Tang Army aircraft - other troops might not be used to air defense and concealment, but the guards around him were much more experienced, and at least they learned to hide and seek immediately.
Therefore, they often got out of the car and hid along the way, and it was not until now that they arrived at the frontline headquarters.
"Follow-up troops are arriving, and we have several times the advantage in terms of strength! As long as we attack with all our strength... we will definitely be able to recapture Luo Town!" Tian Heng was full of confidence. Judging from the situation, it was indeed in his favor.
Now, in addition to the 3rd Army, several regiments are following up one after another. Although these troops are not so elite, they can be used to add fuel and jealousy at critical moments without any problems.
When the time comes, the Qi army will take turns to fight, and the Tang army will have no rest time. In the end, the Qi army will have the upper hand anyway.
Not to mention, at night, the Tang Army's planes could no longer harass, and the Qi Army could let their artillery fire continue to harass the Tang Army throughout the night.
As long as they persist until the next day, the Tang army, which is exhausted and has no morale, will definitely be overwhelmed by the powerful Qi army.
No matter how you calculate it, he has a sure chance of winning, right?
But at this moment, the officer who had left before hurriedly returned to the tent, and was obviously stunned when he saw the third prince.
"Why don't the artillery fire?" Tian Heng looked at the officer who was returning and asked aloud.
The officer hesitated and struggled for a moment before speaking: "Report! The artillery position was raided by the enemy. Firefights were going on everywhere. It was very chaotic..."
"What?" Tian Heng suddenly got angry, rushed over and grabbed the officer's collar: "What do you mean by being attacked by the enemy! Where are the enemy troops? Where did they come from...the enemy troops?"
You know, the artillery position may only be about 1 kilometer away from them. If enemy troops appear there, the headquarters will not be safe.
If it were just the generals and officers like them, it would be okay, but the third prince had just arrived and something really went wrong. They, the soldiers, were all to blame for their deaths!
"Impossible! How could the enemy bypass Luo Town and attack our flank! We are attacking Luo Town! If they don't defend Luo Town, they come out? Are they crazy?" the commander of the 3rd Army asked angrily.
.
"Yes, it's unlikely... But, when I went to ask, there was already chaos over there. Some people said that the Tang Army had come in, and some said they saw tanks of the Tang Army..." The officer was also
Tian Heng grabbed his collar and explained with difficulty.
"It must be a sneak attack by a small group of Tang troops! It must be like this!" Tian Heng reacted and immediately guessed the general situation.
"The Tang army has tanks! They must have used their tank troops to get around our flank. The other side has no supplies, so it is impossible to hold on for long!" The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had guessed the key, and he said excitedly.
"That's right! It should be just a small Tang army!" The commander of the 3rd Army agreed with Tian Heng's view: "Organize troops to counterattack immediately! At any cost, eat this Tang army that counterattacks!"
"Yes! It would be best to capture a few Tang Army tanks!" Advisor Sirik, who had no sense of presence at the side, also added excitedly at this moment.
From the outbreak of the war until now, Cyric's advisory team has been led by the Tang army, and it is indeed extremely frustrating.
The main reason is that the Tang Army invested two new weapons, tanks and aircraft, in the war, which suddenly changed the appearance of the war and made all the war experience that Cyric had accumulated with difficulty become obsolete.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Now, one of the party tasks is to quickly understand the new weapons of the Tang Army and strive to imitate them here, otherwise this war will continue to suffer losses.
Go down.
"Let the rear guard...forget it! You lead the guard here to stabilize the defense line! Let the infantry regiment that just arrived here counterattack! At all costs..." Tian Heng looked at the commander of the 3rd Army, preparing to use the army
The Ministry's security forces came to reorganize the defense line.
There is no other way to do this. The rear guard has collapsed. Now they have in their hands the nearby security forces that can immediately go into battle.
Anyway, these guard troops do not need to be supported for long. As long as the enemy's attack speed is slowed down, these few Tang Army tanks will sooner or later be submerged in the huge crowds of Qi Army.
But at this moment, just when they were dreaming about how to counterattack and how to annihilate these Tang Army tanks that were rushing into the hinterland, the unique and terrifying scream of a Stuka dive bomber suddenly came from above their heads.
Several people frowned, because they had all heard such a sound. When such a sound gets closer and closer, it is often when disaster strikes.
"Damn it!" Tian Heng gritted his teeth and cursed secretly, then passed several officers and quickly pounced on the third prince who still didn't know what was going to happen.
He knocked down the third prince in one fell swoop, and then a huge explosion burst out behind him, tearing apart the tent they were in and blowing away everyone inside.
The officers who were still standing there were torn apart by the shock wave in an instant, and their bodies shattered into pieces and flew into the sky. The few officers who were lying down also lost their voices in an instant, leaving only a mess.
The explosion blew away the tent and did not let go of the table in the tent. The map was swept into the sky, then burned and turned into ashes.
All the surrounding tents were affected by the explosion and were blown away in an instant. The generators and radio stations in the tents nearby were blown up, and the bodies of the electromechanical personnel also fell in strewn shapes next to the damaged machines.
Tian Heng felt a burning pain in his back. He subconsciously touched it with his hand, and then he saw that his palm was covered with blood.
He knew that something might have been inserted into his back, or at least left a long, deep wound on his back.
Now he could no longer care about his injuries, because he saw that the third prince beneath him had his eyes closed at this moment, as if he was unconscious.
So he quickly slapped the third prince's cheek and kept calling, but surprisingly found that he couldn't hear any sound.
His ears were full of ringing, and he couldn't even hear his own shouting. But he had no other choice but to continue shouting like this, desperately shouting.
He didn't know how much time had passed before he finally heard his own voice from a distance. He could vaguely hear his somewhat broken voice: "Third Prince! Your Highness! Your Highness!"
Finally, a guard pushed aside the billowing smoke and approached. An officer knelt on one knee and supported Tian Heng, who was covered in blood: "General! General, are you okay?"
"Quick! Call the doctor! Save His Highness! Save His Highness the Third Prince! Quick!" Tian Heng, who was almost crazy, shouted at the top of his lungs.
Along with his shouting, the third prince finally opened his eyes. He was still a little dizzy and didn't know what happened.
But soon, he realized that he was almost killed by a bomb. He grabbed Tian Heng's arm in horror: "General! General, save me! I... I may be injured! I am injured!"
When he saw the blood on his hands, he was scared to death. He thought he was finished, but in fact the blood was almost all Tian Heng's...
Just as he shouted, a huge black shadow broke through the smoke, and the rolling tracks crushed the overturned tables and chairs.
That is, a No. 4 tank with bullet marks all over it!
