The end of the military era

In the Governor's Mansion in Detrika City, the second capital of the Bull Empire, Governor Trofe crumpled up several telegrams and threw them directly in the face of Minister of War Tonic, "Is this still the Royal Army of our Bull Empire? ?”

The Minister of War, Toniech, did not dare to make any evasive movements, and let the ball of paper hit his face.

These telegrams were all brought by Toniech, and they were sent to the Ministry of War by several bull troops surrounded by Zhou's army.

The meanings of the several telegrams were all the same, indicating that they had run out of ammunition and food, and could only choose to surrender to the Zhou family army, a human army.

"Speak up! Toniech, tell me, is this the Royal Army of the Buffalo Empire that made the enemy fearful?"

Toniech lowered his head and said sadly: "Governor, I didn't expect it to become like this.

Up to now, our Royal Army has 23 group armies and 41 independent divisions, and the established ones have surrendered to Zhou's army.

In addition, more than 300 security brigades directly defected on the battlefield in the provinces of Kunclair and New Constance.

Now that the war situation in Kunclair Province and New Constance Province is irreversible, our Ministry of the Army can only mobilize all forces to stick to the Provinces of Vidores, Elenden and Fedata. "

Governor Trophy also knew that now is not the time to pursue responsibility, so he said with a sullen face: "Immediately mobilize more group armies and independent divisions from the Spirit Race world to the New World.

Immediately began to collect the weapons of all the security brigades in the provinces of Vidores, Elaine, and Feida, and disbanded all those human soldiers. Now those human soldiers are no longer reliable.

If those human soldiers make trouble, drastic measures can be taken.

In addition, we sent another request for help to the other five Eldar nations, our Bull Empire now needs more reinforcements! "

Chapter 233 Wolf Pack Tactics

Under the onslaught of Zhou's army, as of the end of July in Tianyuan 1545, except for a few port cities, all the provinces of Kunclair and New Constance of the Barbarian Empire had been captured by Zhou's army.

The remaining ports in these two provinces are considered large ports. The joint fleet of the six navies sent many warships to assist the barbarian army to guard these ports, which made the army of the Zhou family, There is no way to capture these ports.

During the fierce battle for more than a month, the army of the Brute Bull Empire suffered extremely heavy losses, at least 800 million in number, but this included the troops temporarily armed by the Brute Bull Empire recruited by Orc civilians in the above two provinces.

Of course, of the more than 800 million troops lost by the Bull Empire, about 160 million human soldiers directly defected, and about 400 million cattle and horse officers and soldiers entered the prisoner-of-war camp of the Zhou family army, and only more than 240 million orc officers and soldiers died there. on the battlefield.

The combined area of ​​Kunclair Province and New Constance Province is about 330 million square kilometers. Zhou's army was able to capture almost all of these two provinces in just over a month. The price paid is actually not that big .

The total casualties of the various troops of the Zhou family army were less than 80, but at this time the Zhou family army was unable to continue attacking the remaining three provinces of the Manniu Empire.

On the one hand, it was due to logistical supplies, and on the other hand, it was because the five guard divisions participating in the battle had basically lost their combat effectiveness.

More than 5 black fox medium tanks and black cat light tanks equipped by 1500 guard divisions were destroyed in the battle. In addition, a large number of tanks had to withdraw from the battle due to various failures.

Although each guard division is also equipped with some maintenance personnel, but because these maintenance personnel's skills are very average, they are helpless for slightly complicated problems.

Coupled with the shortage of replacement parts for these two tanks, a large number of faulty tanks could not be repaired in time.

Today, there are more than 5 tanks in the five guard divisions that have failed, and they have not been repaired. The total number of tanks that can continue to fight in the five guard divisions is less than 2000.

Xiang Tao has moved his headquarters to Wawe City in Kunkle Province.

"Taozi, the 11 air force regiments in our hands have not lost much, I think we are still capable, and we can continue to attack the Vidores Province, Elaine Deen Province and Feida Tower of the Bull Empire. Province to attack.

Maybe if you persevere, you will be able to wipe out the power of the Barbarian Bull Empire from our world! " Li Dongbao said to Xiang Tao in a deep voice.

Li Dongbao and Xiang Tao are considered old partners. After the establishment of the five feudal towns in the Western Continent, Xiang Tao was appointed by Zhou Rui as the commander of the Weizhou Army, and Li Dongbao was appointed as the commander of the Kezhou Army.

After the Zhou family declared war with the six orc nations, Xiang Tao served as the commander-in-chief of the Jingzhou Army, Yuzhou Army, Lanzhou Army, Weizhou Army, and Kezhou Army. Xiang Tao's deputy.

Xiang Tao sighed and said: "In the previous attack, although our losses were not large, with the strength in our hands, we do have the ability to continue the attack.

But the problem is that the logistics can't keep up. There are only less than 5 tanks left in the other five guard divisions that can continue to fight. If they continue to attack, they will never be as smooth as before.

And according to the information sent by Fox Seven, as of now, the Red Tiger Empire has dispatched more than 220 million army troops to enter the provinces of Vidores, Elaine Deen and Fei Data of the Bull Empire. .

Including the army troops drawn from the orc world by the Buffalo Empire, the Buffalo army in these three provinces must have 700 to [-] million. The remaining ports in Australia were laid down. "

Hearing this, Li Dongbao asked with some surprise: "Taozi, the so-called joint fleet of the six countries' navies has sent many warships, including battleships with full main guns and battlecruisers, gathered in those ports. There was no reason for the attack on those ports.

If the warships of the joint fleet of the six navies cannot be resolved, it will be difficult to gnaw down those ports only by relying on our army. "

Xiang Tao then handed a telegram to Li Dongbao, "Old Li, the third, fourth and No.12 formations of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet will cooperate with our army to recover these ports."

Li Dongbao frowned and said, "The combined fleet of the six navies has 492 battleships with full main guns and 250 battlecruisers. Can the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet only send three main formations?"

Xiang Tao explained: "It's not for a decisive battle at sea with the combined fleet of the six navies. The three main formations of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet are here to assist our army in capturing several ports in Kunclair Province and New Constance Province. .

If there are too many warships assembled by the combined fleet of the six navies, the attack on those ports will be postponed at worst.

In addition, the three main formations of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet are here at this time, and they seem to have other tasks. "

On the endless sea, there is a huge fleet sailing westward, and this huge fleet is mainly composed of the third formation, fourth formation and No.12 formation of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet.

In addition, there are 30 submarine supply ships and 150 "Ghost 3" class submarines in this huge fleet.

On the bridge of the battleship Battleship, the flagship of the third formation, Liu Ergou, the commander of the third formation, said to the captain Wu Shaoli in a deep voice: "Immediately send a telegram to Zhang Donghua, the commander of the submarine formation, and let the 30 ships of the submarine formation The supply ships and 150 submarines began to disperse according to the original plan."

It turned out that the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet decided to use submarine forces to directly launch "wolf pack tactics" along the coast of the entire Western Continent in response to the blockade of the ports of Weizhou Town and Lanzhou Town by the combined fleet of the six navies with mines.

In fact, this "wolf pack tactic" was proposed by Zhou Rui, which was Zhou Rui's reference to the wolf pack tactic adopted by the German Navy in World War II in another time and space.

The so-called wolf pack tactics, that is, use multiple submarines to form a small team, and take turns launching underwater attacks on enemy warships and transport ships like a pack of wolves.

When using wolf pack tactics, you can concentrate the power of several submarines to attack a sea target, and use the attack power of several submarines to destroy the enemy's ships.

At the beginning of the Second World War in another time and space, the German navy used wolf pack tactics to organize swarms of submarines to attack the ships of the Allies at sea and destroy the sea transportation lines of the Allies, causing the Allies to suffer heavy losses.

Although many light cruisers and destroyers in several orc countries are equipped with sonar, the purpose of using the "wolf pack tactics" by the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet this time is to attack the transport ships of the six orc countries and try to paralyze the six ships. Maritime shipping between orc nations.

The submarine that Zhang Donghua, the commander of the submarine formation, was on was still a "Ghost 88" class submarine numbered 3.

After Sun Bo, the captain of the No. 88 submarine, handed Liu Ergou's telegram to Zhang Donghua, Zhang Donghua immediately ordered: "According to the previous grouping, 1 supply ship and 5 submarines will form a group and separate from the fleet immediately.

Then it's time for our submarine formation to start performing. "

In the evening of that day, submarine No. 88 had already entered the dive, and Zhang Donghua and Sun Bo were having dinner.

At this time, Lu Mingxin, the first officer of the No. 88 submarine, hurried over, "Zhang Zhi, captain, a huge fleet is found ahead!"

When Zhang Donghua and Sun Bo heard this, they didn't care about continuing to eat, and they immediately came to the position of the periscope.

Through the periscope, you can vaguely see many ships on the sea in the distance, but because the distance is too far, it is still impossible to determine which country the ship is from, and it is also impossible to determine whether it is a military ship or a civilian ship.

"Let's go! Contact the other 4 subs in our group, and other nearby kill teams.

A fleet appears here, it must belong to which orc country! "Zhang Donghua ordered.

On the bridge of the Royal Navy's fire-breathing battleship Diligence, the Second Vice Minister of the Navy of the Black Bear Empire, Mulka, said to the commander of the First Fleet, Gert, "Gert, this time I put the You transferred here because I hope you can assist me to preserve the vitality of our Royal Navy of the Black Bear Empire as much as possible.
