"Originally, we blocked the Mirage army and cut off their supply lines. Now, if the navy cannot come, we still have to worry about these Mirage people running away." Army generals complained at the meeting.
His words reminded Tang Mo of a very bad memory: Dunkirk. The German army also let go of the British army that was supposed to be completely annihilated for various reasons.
So Tang Mo didn't look good, but he still said nothing and listened to the reports from his men. The army was caught off guard by the new changes, and it seemed that all attack plans had to be re-drawn.
"Before, I was afraid that they would not come, but now I am afraid that they will run away. This is really a helpless change." Loew pressed his hand to calm the mood of the Army's logistics department.
He was also helpless. Because the ground attack was ranked lower in the past, the railway supply lines, which were not abundant in the first place, gave priority to the air force.
Otherwise, where would the Air Force's bombers get so many bombs and fuel and be able to throw them at the enemy's positions so brazenly?
But now, the ground troops have to seize the time to attack, and then the logistics troops remember that there are still a lot of unresolved problems.
The supply quota for the armored forces has never been full, and most of the transportation is modified parts. There is not much fuel and ammunition, so it is necessary to seize the time to replenish some.
The infantry must also supply ammunition and oil as quickly as possible, and the air force also needs to reserve some bombs and oil in order to support the troops.
If all these things are put together, how can the commanders of the logistics troops stop scolding them? Whoever it was, they wouldn't be able to bear such nonsense.
"We are launching an attack on the remaining troops of the Grand Prince. We hope to open up the second railway line and improve our logistics and supply conditions." Tiger, who is in charge of the eastern offensive, is reporting on the battle situation in Anpu these days, so this time
Attended the meeting.
Judging from the fact that the commander-in-chief was at the rear, we knew that the Tang Army had not actually prepared to launch a large-scale ground military operation.
But the situation had reached this point, and Tang Jun had to hurry up and change his strategy.
"The military operations on the ground will target the eldest prince first! On the one hand, we will open up new supply lines, and on the other hand, we will do a general cleaning first." Tang Mo said: "You have to eat one bite at a time, and one must be eaten first, so let's eat it first.
Let’s eat this dish from the great prince of Qi!”
After finishing speaking, he continued to speak: "All plans for the air attack on Beiyuan City are cancelled! Leave it there for now. If the Mirage people run away, then we will have to settle the bill with the Mirage people! If they don't run away,
Isn’t that just what I want?”
"The Great China Empire condemned our attack on the territory of the Mirage State." The official in charge of diplomacy reminded: "This condemnation was three days later than the condemnation from the Chu State."
"I'm afraid even Zhao Kai himself is unwilling to tell the truth that Beiyuan City is the territory of the Mirage Kingdom?" Tang Mo sneered, not caring at all about the condemnation of the Dahua Empire.
If the condemnation was useful, his Tang Kingdom would have been destroyed countless times. Compared with the condemnation of the Great China Empire, he was more worried about the countries on the Eastern Continent.
Whether it is the Ice Empire, the Lions Empire or the Dorne Empire, they all have powerful navies, and together they will definitely put pressure on Dragon Island. Even if ten thousand people are unwilling, Tang Mo does not want the other party to really
joint.
Looking back at the Dahua Empire, because of the comprehensive reinforcement of the three divisions of Beiling, and the recruits recruited have also completed basic training, Tang Mo is not worried about any country starting a war with him on land.
Come on if it's a big deal. After all, the Tang Kingdom is engaged in defensive operations on the border. How many lives does the other side have to spend before it can threaten the core area of Tang Mo?
On the other hand, if the Dahua Empire really has the courage to attack Tang Mo, the strategic air force in Tang Mo's hands will definitely cause trouble for the Dahua Empire, and it will be huge trouble.
In fact, Tang Mo guessed well. Zhao Kai was indeed unwilling to admit that Beiyuan City belonged to the Mirage Kingdom. If it were not for the purpose of causing trouble for the Tang Dynasty, Zhao Kai would probably be the first leader to oppose the sale of Beiyuan City to the Mirage Kingdom.
This is actually very interesting. Tang Mo even likes this young angry young man a little bit. Regardless of his ability, at least he still has a little bit of backbone.
"If the Mirage people retreat, we can at least easily complete the set strategic goals, occupy Beiyuan City, seal the northern line, and save troops..." Tang Mo forced a smile and comforted his generals: "So
, I just let a few fleas escape.”
Anyway, he couldn't stop the Mirage troops in Beiyuan City from turning around and running away, so he was more open-minded. As for the bad omen of Dunkirk, Tang Mo decided to ignore it.
In fact, the situation was completely different from what Tang Mo expected. When the Tang Kingdom was forced to transfer its naval fleet to the southern sea to guard Dragon Island, the Mirage Navy assured their king that they could control the sea and be dispatched
The fleet attacked the Tang army's coastline.
After getting this guarantee, the Mirage Army had to send more troops to Beiyuan City, and this time it even touched their family wealth.
The Mirage Kingdom had no intention of escaping, and they even took advantage of this opportunity to continuously send more troops to Beiyuan City.
This time they only expected to dispatch 150,000 troops, which was a huge surprise.
If Tang Mo knew that the Mirage people were so cooperative, he would probably laugh out loud. But he knew that it was already three days later when the Mirage people not only did not leave, but also sent additional troops.
Not only did they not leave, Mirage Kingdom also sent another general Mirage Takesaburo to Beiyuan City to take over the work of Mirage Wuliang who died in battle.
At the same time, Mirage Kingdom also transported more cannons and some tanks imported from the Ice Empire to Beiyuan City.
They felt that the Tang Army's bombardment of Beiyuan City day and night in the past few days had actually exhausted their ammunition, and those deadly and annoying aircraft could no longer be dispatched.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Mitsuru Saburo's wrong judgment, the Tang army wasted resources, and now it is no longer able to dispatch the air force - the fact that those planes stopped bombing is proof, another evidence
It was the Tang army that even stopped their endless bombardment.
In fact, the main reason why the Tang army stopped military operations was that they were afraid that the Mirage people would escape. The secondary reason was that they were preparing to accumulate supplies and raid the dilapidated defensive positions of the Mirage army on the ground.
In this way, the precious window period was wasted by the misjudgment of the Mirage people. Not only did they not retreat, but they continued to send troops to Beiyuan City.
At the same time, over the southern part of Long Island on the other side, the Tang Army pilots, who were almost blinded by the boundless sea water, still did not find the target they wanted to attack.
They did not find the airship in the sky, nor did they see any suspicious ships on the sea. They searched hard in the oval circle, but still found nothing.
Just when everyone started to get irritated, in the back row of the cockpit of a Stuka dive bomber, in the gunner's position, an instructor who temporarily played the role of navigator with a telescope saw through the telescope what he had been looking for for more than ten minutes.
Target.
"Target found! Target found! An airship! 2 o'clock direction!" He immediately opened the communication channel and shouted to everyone: "Coordinates...173,821."
The remote Dragon Island headquarters and the pilots on the front line heard this sweet sound almost at the same time!
"Received!" "Received!" A response echoed through the channel, and fighter jets in the sky began to tilt their wings and gallop towards the target.
At almost the same moment, the crew in the airship who was leaning against the porthole also saw the black spot approaching them. His face turned pale, and he turned around and shouted loudly: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
The airship actually has weapons for self-defense. On both sides of the airship, there is a Maxim heavy machine gun to provide suppressive firepower for the airship. On the one hand, they can fire at ground targets and attack ground anti-aircraft firepower. On the other hand, they can fire at ground targets.
It can indeed strafe approaching aircraft.
However, compared to the pod, the airship airbags, which have larger and more fragile targets, need more protection. Coincidentally, the first choice of the Tang Army pilots who had rushed in front of them happened to be these airbags.
"Don't miss this time!" the pilot of the lead plane reminded his wingman while raising the altitude.
The wingman pilot looked at the huge airbag below and smiled: "This time, it's hard to miss! Sir!"
The leading Stuka maintained its course as much as possible, and they had to make as few maneuvers as possible to ensure the accuracy of navigation.
There is no way, this thing is not very mature now, so everyone is very careful, because no one wants to bring dozens of planes into the water and make an emergency landing.
However, the Butcher fighter force had dispersed and launched its own attack on these behemoths. At this time, someone saw what seemed to be a ship on the sea below the feet of these airships.
"That ship is suspicious!" the Stuka pilot looked at the ship at his feet and reminded the navigator behind him.
"That's not a battleship, nor is it the target we're looking for!" The navigator lost interest in the unknown ship after just one glance: "How do you think these airships can fly so far without getting lost? They made arrangements in advance.
A pilot boat! Provides a route!”
"You really know how to play!" The instructor on another plane couldn't help but complain about wireless power.
As soon as he said these words, in the distant sky, the huge airbag of a Cyric airship had ignited flames, and the huge explosion instantly reflected all the clouds nearby.
"Wow!" An excited shout came out on the radio channel. A massacre began just like that!
