"We can't let them land. Send me the 7th Division immediately while we haven't gained a firm foothold yet. I don't care what you say. I am still the commander-in-chief here. I have forgotten what my father said."
? If anyone dares to disobey the order, military law will be engaged immediately."
Many people present have already agreed that the enemy's landing was successful. Even if we send more troops there, it will be useless. After all, we have no warships at sea, and our artillery has been blown to pieces. Without artillery support,
Fighting for the beachhead with the enemy is a very fatal thing in itself, not to mention that the morale is not high now, so sending people there is just like delivering food to the enemy.
"Your Highness, please think twice. Even if we send people there, we cannot dispatch the Seventh Division. This is the only standing division we have in hand. Their task is very arduous..."
Saburo Hatoyama was shocked. If the 7th Division were sent there, although there would still be a few miscellaneous divisions left, their combat effectiveness would not be very good. The soldiers had joined the army less than half a year ago. In this half year
They have not received good training, and the people around them have long been dissatisfied with the royal family. If someone rises up, the 7th Division is their last life-saving straw. How can it be lost on the beach?
"Shut up, of course I know that the Seventh Division is very important, and now the beachhead is also very important. As long as they can't land and fight, the capital will always be ours, but if we let them gain a foothold here,
Then the capital may become theirs at any time. Even if you keep the Seventh Division now, it is useless, let alone a Seventh Division. Even if you bring back all nineteen standing divisions, it may not be possible.
We can defeat the suppressing army on land."
After His Highness the Crown Prince finished speaking, many people present nodded. What His Highness the Crown Prince said was also very reasonable. If the opponent's beachhead is not stable, then their battlefield will continue here.
But if the other party establishes a solid beachhead, then their troops will be sent in a steady stream. At that time, just as His Royal Highness said, even if nineteen permanent divisions are here, we are not a suppressing army.
As an opponent, just think about the hundreds of thousands of troops surrounded, and you will know that the elite troops inside are not the smallest.
Saburo Hatoyama was also convinced. He didn't want to send people to the beach to die, but as the prince said, if you let go of these first few hours, the suppressing army can immediately establish a strong defense on the beach.
Position, even if we send ten times as many troops there at that time, I'm afraid it won't be able to have any effect.
When the Suppression Army has established a foothold in one place, their next actions will definitely be centered on the beachhead, and then expand in other directions with their backs to the sea. At that time, they will also be equipped with naval guns.
With support, it is only a matter of time before the entire capital is occupied.
The Seventh Division is a permanent division and the most powerful force in the capital. Even though the capital is in a mess now, the supply of the Seventh Division is the most complete. There is not much food in the treasury, but they have three meals a day.
Every meal is not bad, so they currently have more than 19,000 people, and even an artillery regiment equipped with thirty-six artillery pieces.
Of course, all of these artillery pieces are 70mm mountain cannons, and they are all old goods from more than ten years ago. If they are placed in front of the old army, these artillery pieces are still somewhat useful, but if they are placed in front of the suppressing army, they will be useless.
It's not enough to have artillery, as it may be killed by the artillery of the suppressing army at any time.
Half an hour later, the troops of the 7th Division arrived at the beach. The situation now was different from before. There were already more than 2,700 soldiers on the beach, and an artillery unit also came down. They had already
The area around the beach has been occupied. There were some remaining Dongdi soldiers just now, but now they have been cleared away by the anti-insurgent army.
In order to boost morale, the prince personally brought the 7th Division over. This guy was indeed leading the way. He was less than three thousand meters away from the suppressing army. This place was already within the artillery range of the suppressing army. The soldiers also saw the prince's attack.
Here, so they can stabilize their minds, otherwise many people will run away on the way here.
Since the hundreds of thousands of Dongdi's troops were wiped out, the people and other troops in Dongdi have lost the will to fight. They believe that no matter how Dongdi counterattacks, they cannot be the opponent of the suppressing army.
The important thing is that we don't have a navy. Even if the suppressing army is frustrated, with the support of their navy, they can fight back at any time. But even if we win a partial victory, under the pressure of naval guns, victory will be impossible.
The results will slowly fade away.
To be more precise, the basic outcome is already predictable, so no matter what we do, it is difficult to change the final result. In the final analysis, these people have no confidence, and there is no need to sacrifice their lives for a battle that is bound to be lost.
So now they all want to find a place to hide, and after the negotiations are over, maybe they will be in a different world. If they die now, they will die in vain.
But the sudden appearance of His Highness the Crown Prince made the Seventh Division feel that they had a backbone again. When they encountered wars in the past, not to mention His Highness the Crown Prince, even some other high-ranking officers would have run away when the battle situation was unfavorable.
, for example, when the emperor fled, he abandoned hundreds of thousands of troops and ran away. This was in line with the consistent practice of the top officials of Dongdi Kingdom, and His Highness the Crown Prince's behavior surprised them.
"How long will it take to clean it out?"
His Royal Highness saw that all the roads between the periphery and the beach were blocked. If they were to be cleared, it would not be a small project. The current situation...
"It will take at least three hours to return to His Highness the Prince. Now we have found two paths, but only two soldiers are allowed to pass side by side. If we take the path..."
The combat staff officer did not finish what he said. If we take a small road, it will be a road of death. We can rush through here, but when the enemy catches up, I am afraid there will be no way to retreat, so this is a one-way line.
This cannot be known to the soldiers below, as it may very well arouse their dissatisfaction...
