The end of the military era

Zhou Rui nodded, and asked Prince Zhou Jun: "Xiao Jun, what do you think our Han and Tang Empire should do next?"

Prince Zhou Jun took a deep breath and said, "Father, since you are ready, why wait for the Silver Wolf Empire to declare war first.

Erchen suggested to implement the 'preemptive strike' combat plan immediately! "

The "preemptive strike" battle plan was formulated by Zhou Rui, Zhou Xiaorong, and Xiang Tao. The main content was to launch a blitzkrieg against the border defense line of the Silver Wolf Empire's Violet Province.

Zhou Rui turned to Xiang Tao and asked, "Xiang Shuai, what do you think?"

Xiang Tao was the second marshal of the Royal Army of the Han and Tang Dynasties, so Zhou Rui called Xiang Tao Xiang Shuai.

In fact, there are currently only three people in the Han and Tang Empire who hold the rank of Marshal. The other two are Zhou Xiaorong, Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Army of the Han and Tang Empire, and Song Limin, Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empire.

Even Huang Zhigang, the commander-in-chief of the Royal Air Force of the Han and Tang Empires, only held the rank of Air Force General.

Xiang Tao said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, now our Royal Army has concentrated 35 group armies and 150 garrison divisions in the border area near the Silver Wolf Empire, and the Royal Air Force has also assembled a full 35 air divisions.

The "preemptive strike" combat plan has already met the conditions for its implementation. I agree to directly declare war on the Silver Wolf Empire and even the entire 9-nation military alliance! "

The corners of Zhou Rui's lips twitched slightly, "The Silver Wolf Empire always likes to do some small tricks, this time I did what the Silver Wolf Empire wanted."

Just 4 hours after the press conference of the Silver Wolf Empire ended, that is, at 1557 o'clock in the evening on May 5, 25, the Han and Tang Empire suddenly sent a code to power on, using the Silver Wolf Empire to frame the Han and Tang Empire as an excuse to officially protest The Silver Wolf Empire declares war.

And at the same time that the Han and Tang Empires were powered on, tens of thousands of fighter planes of the Royal Air Force of the Han and Tang Empires suddenly launched a round of attacks on the airports, artillery positions, barracks and fortifications of the border defense lines of the Silver Wolf Empire's Violet Province and Calla Lily Province. air strikes.

The Magpie jet fighters, Heron jet medium-range bombers, and Goshawk jet long-range bombers equipped by the Royal Air Force of the Han and Tang Empires have initially possessed all-weather combat capabilities.

However, the jet fighters equipped by the Silver Wolf Empire Air Force can also fight at night, so a large-scale night air battle inevitably broke out.

It is a pity that the jet fighters equipped by the Silver Wolf Imperial Air Force are far behind the Magpie jet fighters of the Royal Air Force of the Han and Tang Empires in terms of performance.

As a result, the world's first large-scale night air battle almost turned into a one-sided massacre.

Not long after the Royal Air Force of the Han and Tang Empire launched its attack, tens of thousands of tanks and armored vehicles of the Royal Han and Tang Empire Army, as well as millions of officers and soldiers, attacked Violet Province and Calla Lily under the cover of intensive artillery fire. The province's border defenses launched a full-scale offensive.

The armies of the two sides fought fiercely until the early morning of the next day, at which time the Royal Air Force of the Han and Tang Empires had completed control of the air supremacy on the battlefield.

The Heron jet medium-range bomber, the Goshawk jet long-range bomber, and even the American b-25 medium-range bomber and the American b17 long-range bomber continuously dropped tons and tons of aerial bombs on the positions of the Silver Wolf Army. The army troops of the Tang Empire cleared all obstacles encountered in the advance.

Even some giant bunkers built by the Silver Wolf Empire were blown into ruins by several tons of aerial bombs.

On the evening of May 1557th, 5, in the palace of Noela, the first capital of the Golden Lion Empire, Prime Minister Salento held a telegram in his hand, and said to Emperor Cosno with a serious face: "Your Majesty, from Silver There was news from the Wolf Empire.

Under the joint attack of the army and air force of the Han and Tang Empires, the first border defense line of the Silver Wolf Empire's Violet Province and Calla Lily Province had broken through many positions.

The Silver Wolf Empire has ordered the troops on the first border defense line to retreat to the second border defense line.

However, compared to the first border defense line, the second border defense line of the Silver Wolf Empire may be less robust. I am afraid that the army of the Silver Wolf Empire will not last long on the second border defense line. "

Emperor Cosno sighed and said, "I didn't expect that the Han and Tang Empires would strike first, nor did I expect that the border defenses of the Silver Wolf Empire would collapse so quickly.

The Silver Wolf Empire was a little too impatient, and in the end it was clever but was misunderstood by its cleverness. If the Silver Wolf Empire hadn't caused the shelling incident, the Han and Tang Empire might not have declared war so soon. "

Prime Minister Salento said: "Your Majesty, the Silver Wolf Empire has sent a telegram for help to other allies including our Golden Lion Empire."

Emperor Kosno nodded and said: "Since the war is inevitable, our Golden Lion Empire can only fight head-on."

Just as the armies of the Han and Tang Empire attacked the border defenses of the Silver Wolf Empire, the Golden Lion Empire, the Black Bear Empire, and the Flying Leopard Empire declared war on the Han and Tang Empire almost simultaneously.

Subsequently, the Golden Lion Empire represented the Red Tiger Empire, the Barbarian Bull Empire, the Natural Elf Empire, the Light Elf Empire, and the Dark Elf Empire of the nine-nation military alliance, and declared a state of war with the Han and Tang Empires.

The Han-Tang Empire also quickly declared war on the other 9 countries in the Nine-Nation Military Alliance. So far, the second war between the Han-Tang Empire and the Nine-Nation Military Alliance began immediately.

"Boom—" Emperor Yosseru of the Silver Wolf Empire thumped the table, "We must defend the second border defense line!

Send my order to the troops on the front line, no one is allowed to take a step back, and those who violate the order will follow the military law! "

Although the other eight allies declared war on the Han and Tang Empires one after another, which made Emperor Joselu feel relieved, the situation on the front line made Emperor Joselu feel very anxious.

The border defense line of the Silver Wolf Empire was built at the cost of tens of billions of silver coins, and is divided into the first border defense line and the second border defense line.

In the last war between the nine-nation military alliance and the Han and Tang empires, the coalition forces relied on the first border defense line to firmly block the attack of the Han and Tang troops, making the battlefield on the northern front a stalemate throughout the war.

Emperor Joselu never dreamed that the first border defense line, which he had placed high hopes on, would be broken through by the Han and Tang troops before even reaching it for 24 hours.

If Emperor Joselu knew that the first border defense line would fall so quickly, he would not dare to cause any shelling incidents if he was killed.

Governor Igna hesitated for a moment and said: "Father, the air force of the Han and Tang Empires has an obvious advantage.

Now the fighter planes deployed by the Royal Air Force of the Silver Wolf Empire on the front lines have almost been lost.

I am worried that with the second border defense line, it will still be difficult to resist the attack of the Han and Tang troops. "

Emperor Yoseru sighed and said: "If the second border defense line is lost, the Han and Tang troops can directly break into the hinterland of the Violet Province and the Calla Lily Province, and even the Xiangxuelan Province and the Holy Wolf Flower Province will face being destroyed. Danger of Han and Tang army invasion.

That would be a disaster for our Silver Wolf Empire. "

Governor Igna said decisively: "Father, although there is no border defense line, there are still hundreds of cities and thousands of small towns in Violet Province and Calla Lily Province.

I am going to return to the New World immediately, organize the troops and people in the Violet Province and the Calla Lily Province, and use every town to resist the advance of the Han and Tang troops. "

"Igna, I will urge our allies to send reinforcements to the Violet Province and the Calla Lily Province as soon as possible, and no matter what, we must block the Han and Tang troops in the Violet Province and the Calla Lily Province!"

Chapter 3 and Eight Allies Who Do Their Best

The situation on the frontier defenses of the Silver Wolf Empire was actually much worse than the Emperor of the Silver Wolf Empire, Joselu, knew.

Although the Silver Wolf Army had been mentally prepared to be attacked by the Han and Tang Army, the Silver Wolf Army was still beaten in the face of the overwhelming air fleet and armored troops of the Han and Tang Army.

What's more, the Han and Tang Emperor's team implemented a blitzkrieg. After breaking through the forward position of the Silver Wolf Army, the Han and Tang Army immediately carried out rapid interspersed maneuvers against the enemy's deep targets, and carried out a number of Silver Wolf troops on the first border defense line. Split surround.

Therefore, part of the silver wolf army on the first border defense line of the Violet Province and Calla Lily Province of the Silver Wolf Empire was ordered to retreat to the second border defense line, but they were still surrounded by the Han and Tang troops.

However, the fighting will of the Silver Wolf Army, especially the Silver Wolf Empire Army, is very commendable.

The surrounded silver wolf army either forcibly broke through, or relied on the existing fortifications to stubbornly resist the attack of the Han and Tang troops.

The distance between the first border defense line and the second border defense line between the Violet Province and the Calla Lily Province of the Silver Wolf Empire varies from about 10 kilometers to 40 kilometers.

The Han and Tang army was going to go all out and break through the second border defense line, but when the Han and Tang army just started to attack the second border defense line of the Silver Wolf army, the fighter planes of the Red Tiger Empire appeared in the sky above the battlefield, and then Fighter planes from other countries in the 9th Alliance also appeared over the battlefield one after another.

The other countries of the 9th Alliance understand that the Silver Wolf Empire cannot be defeated by the Han and Tang armies. The Golden Lion Empire, the Black Bear Empire and the Flying Leopard Empire hope to limit the battlefield of land warfare to the Silver Wolf Empire. .

So the Golden Lion Empire, Black Bear Empire, and Flying Leopard Empire immediately dispatched a large number of jet fighters to the front lines of the Silver Wolf Empire's Violet Province and Calla Lily Province after passing through several transit airports.

The Scarlet Tiger Empire, the Bull Empire, and the three elf nations also sent jet fighters to the Silver Wolf Empire to support them through different time and space nodes in the Silver Wolf Empire.

The Magpie jet fighter equipped by the Royal Air Force of the Han and Tang Empire can still be called the most advanced jet fighter in the world despite its overall performance.
