Alien Arms Empire

 Chapter 965 The Dahua troops at the end of 966

“Sir, this is the latest report on the Battle of Fengjiang.” An officer in charge of data statistics in the direction of Fengjiang knocked on the door and placed a report in front of Qian Jinhang, who was about to return home.

 Qian Jinhang's work here has basically been completed. As a staff officer of the General Staff, staying here actually doesn't have much effect.

If Zhao Kai knew that the Dahua Empire had been fighting against his old friend Qian Jinhang recently, he would not know what it would be like.

 Qian Jinhang looked at the various data in the document and asked without raising his head: "Is there any change?"

The officer was obviously well prepared and immediately introduced: "The number of mercenaries in various countries is significantly decreasing, but this does not actually affect our Fengjiang plan. The first round of recruitment has been completed in the areas controlled by Zhao Yu. We can put more troops in Fengjiang."

The situation among countries in the world is now quite complicated, so countries have begun to no longer focus on the Battle of Fengjiang and the Battle of Qin and Shu.

These people are focused on their own borders, so they can't send so many mercenaries to Fengjiang to learn experience and train the team.

In fact, in the past six months, various countries have sent at least 30,000 officers to Fengjiang to learn the Tang army’s combat tactics and learn about some cutting-edge changes in weapons and equipment.

 Now, at least 20,000 grassroots commanders who came to Fengjiang for gold plating have returned to their respective countries, and what they brought back is enough for the military of various countries to digest for a while.

In fact, this is a very interesting manifestation. Today, there is an obvious chain of contempt within the militaries of various countries around the world: students who graduated from the Datang Military Academy in Bunas in the early years now hold high positions in various countries and have become Senior commanding generals, they have become the top leaders of various imperial military forces.

 Under their management, it is naturally easier for alumni and classmates to be promoted. In fact, these commanders who have studied the advanced military thinking of the Datang Military Academy are indeed better than the old officers who grew up among the nobles themselves.

As for the "Tang Clan", there is an interesting chain of contempt: those who later went to study in the Tang Dynasty were the most senior ones before. Now that it has been gilded in Fengjiang, it is even more popular now.

 Except for those who came to learn gold plating, the rest of the soldiers were much worse off. They had to fight on the front line for 2 months before they were eligible to go home.

However, they are not completely without gains. As long as they can survive in Fengjiang, they may return to the country and become grassroots officers. It is a kind of class jump, and many people are flocking to it.

It is a pity that there are so many people who survived after all, and as the Battle of Fengjiang became more and more fierce, fewer and fewer people retreated, and their fighting time on the battlefield became shorter and shorter.

Under such circumstances, we don’t know how much combat effectiveness these veterans who have been on the battlefield still have and how much they can learn.

But one thing is certain, that is, all countries in the world have learned something in Fengjiang, and they have indeed learned many key points that they have never been exposed to at a relatively small cost.

 Qian Jinhang laughed disdainfully, and then put down the report in his hand: "It seems that all countries think that they have learned almost all our technology."

"The other side is indeed learning our tactics and techniques. They have seen the actual performance of many weapons and equipment on the battlefield." The officer said with certainty.

He then added: “For example, the Type 63 light infantry rocket launcher has become a hot-seller, with 30,000 units sold recently.”

“It sounds really good. It’s much more successful than holding an expo.” Qian Jinhang nodded, and then said: “I will take this report back, thank you.”

 “Long live His Majesty the Emperor!” The officer stood at attention and saluted.

 “Long live the empire!” Qian Jinhang stood up and stood at attention in return.

 As a general who surrendered to the Tang Empire, Qian Jinhang developed many little habits. He said thank you to every superior and subordinate who handed over work to him, and every time he returned the military salute, he was very standard.

 Many weapons technologies of the Tang Empire are the focus of tracking by various countries. The weapons and equipment that can be seen in Fengjiang are naturally the most effective.

Everyone has seen the rocket launchers of the Tang Dynasty killing everyone in Fengjiang, so the word rocket launcher has become the most discussed word recently.

 These days, in addition to Fengjiang, the battles between the two sides in the direction of Shanchong, or in the direction of Guiguang, have also been extremely **** and fierce.

Different from the city attack in Fengjiang, the Fengjiang army near Guiguang commanded by Luo Xiao fought **** battles with the Dahua army from Shanchong, while sending troops to continuously attack northward, trying to seize Wanliang and threatening Hezhe's direction. Dahua troops attacking Fengjiang.

 Strategically, the Great China Empire is still naive and vague. Zhao Kai, an emperor who usually plays balancing tricks and has character flaws, performed as steadily as ever. Qin's invasion of Shu can be regarded as liberating the Western Front garrison of Dahua's troops in a certain respect. Some of these troops were mobilized and put directly into the cruel battlefield on the Eastern Front.

With so many more troops, the strength of the Dahua army attacking Fengjiang should have been unprecedentedly strengthened, but in fact these Dahua troops were scattered in three different directions.

Part of the troops were assigned to the Zhao Jie Group in the direction of Shanchong, and the other part was clearly arranged in the direction of Wanliang to ensure the safety of Wanliang.

Only about one-third of the troops were assigned to the Zhao Chen Group for the attack in the direction of Fengjiang: This deployment is obviously not correct, but it seems extremely reasonable.

A bowl of water that is flat may appear to be fine on the surface, but in fact this tactic of adding oil is the most ridiculous way of distributing water.

From a true tactical level, it is better to put all the troops into one direction to gain an advantage, and then consider things in other directions.

"This is not..." Zhao Chen was annoyed and remembered that this order was probably issued by Zhao Kai, so he suppressed the word "nonsense".

Having not captured Fengjiang for so long, Zhao Kai already has a lot of opinions about him. Looking for trouble at this time will make the situation worse.

Today's Fengjiang is simply a big fortress. The closer you attack to the core, the stronger the buildings become, and the high-rise buildings become denser. After they collapse, they block traffic and form high ground, which is very disadvantageous to the attackers.

In such terrain, heavy weapons can no longer exert their advantage. The Type 5 tanks that finally gained the upper hand are completely useless. Everyone is now fighting in the ruins, relying almost entirely on infantry.

There are massive casualties every day. Every day, some exhausted troops have to be pulled down to rest, and then the troops that have just been rested are filled into this meat grinder.

 At the beginning, an infantry battalion with a full strength of 550 people entered the position, and soon the recruitment of new soldiers could not keep up. The next troops entering the battlefield were a battalion of 500 men, and later it became a battalion of 350 men.

There is no way. There are so many troops that need to be replenished that there is no way to make up for the missing troops.

 In most cases, the troops rest for two days in the rear, recruit some new soldiers, get to know each other, and get some ammunition and arms before entering Fengjiang to fight again.

 The number of core veterans became less and less as time went by. At the beginning, more than half of the soldiers in a battalion had sufficient combat experience. After fighting all the way to the present, it is considered good to have seventy or eighty veterans in a battalion.

 Zhao Ji is gone now, and it is impossible for Zhao Chen to use Zhao Ji's identity to ask for more things from Zhao Kai.

The current crown prince Zhao Ji was sent to Wanliang City to supervise the war. Zhao Kai was worried that the lack of Wanliang would affect the empire's food harvest.

 That's right, isn't it already the harvest season? Ten thousand grains, ten thousand grains. As soon as you hear this name, you know that it is definitely an important production area.

 In fact, this is indeed the case. The vast areas near the three cities of Wanliang, Jutian and Caili are the traditional production areas of the Great China Empire. Problems cannot occur easily in these places, otherwise it will affect the food security of the Great China Empire.

This is also one of the main reasons why Zhao Kai assigned the troops deployed on the Western Front to the direction of Wanliang: there really can't be any problems there, especially during the autumn harvest.

 Zhao Chen Group can now be said to be exhausted. Hundreds of thousands of troops besieged Fengjiang and rushed all the way from Hezhe to Fengjiang. In fact, their condition is not very good.

Under such circumstances and without strong support, Zhao Chen's army's offensive was actually unsustainable. The reason why the Battle of Toyojiang lasted so long has something to do with this.

 In today's Fengjiang City, Dahua troops' attacks are often not comprehensive, but can only target one block or a few buildings. With such an offensive, the outcome can no longer affect the overall situation of the street fighting.

 Urban warfare, or street fighting, is all about speed. If you're quick enough, the street fight will quickly subside and the damage will actually be suppressed to a minimum.

  But if you get into a long entanglement, then street fighting will become a nightmare for both parties. Endless investment makes it extremely difficult for either side to win.

 Because the losses have been extremely huge, both sides will choose to continue to invest in follow-up troops because of the tasteless food and the pity to abandon them, so that the previous investment will not be in vain.

  The result was that both sides were unable to dismount, and both sides had to invest a large number of troops to struggle in the ruins: the Battle of Stalingrad, to put it bluntly, was like this.

  To say that after the German army really captured Stalingrad, Paulus would still have the ability to continue marching into the Caucasus. I am afraid that even he himself would not dare to say so. So even if the German army finally captured this city, they would just defend it or retreat.
