For General Ogasawara, these days have been extremely dark. The two dangerous areas he originally mentioned have all been breached. In less than two hours, a brigade he deployed by the river was destroyed.
They were defeated, and they didn't even see the face of the suppressing army. Just because of the artillery fire preparation, this brigade retreated greatly.
Seeing the brigade commander running back from the front line, he really couldn't give the order to shoot him. This man was an old man who followed him, and he had saved his life. He took this opportunity to give him the position of brigade commander.
, but I didn’t expect to harm him now.
"Your Majesty General, please take care."
This subordinate also seemed to see General Ogasawara's hesitation. According to the new order issued by His Royal Highness, as long as someone loses their frontline position, no matter what kind of people are standing behind you, they must commit suicide to thank the country. So this
Without saying a word, the guy pulled out the samurai sword he was carrying and killed himself.
General Ogasawara closed his eyes in pain. Of course he knew that this matter had nothing to do with his men. The main reason was because the 197th Brigade did not have much combat effectiveness. Although his men had 6,700 people,
There were only more than 200 regular soldiers among them, and the rest were all ordinary people around. Not to mention guns and ammunition, it was good to have some samurai swords in their hands. Most of them went up with farm tools.
After the war started again, more than 20 artillery pieces directly bombarded the riverside indiscriminately. Regardless of whether you surrendered or continued to persist, the people of the suppressing army could not see it anyway. They just commanded their artillery to bombard. It is estimated that this section
In time, they have brought in more artillery shells. Thinking about the tragic image of the capital of Dongdi Kingdom, the bombardment in front of them is not so brilliant.
"The entire army retreats to Rana Prefecture."
General Ogasawara said word for word that although he had prepared various containment methods before and hoped that they would have a certain effect, after hearing the complaints from relevant personnel on the front line, he no longer had the confidence to continue the fight.
, he has no regular troops at all.
These people used to farm in the fields. If you ask them when to sow seeds and when to harvest, they can talk to you for a whole day. But if you ask them how to fight, they will not be able to talk to you even among ten people.
One person may have said a few words, except for villagers fighting each other, they have never seen a more severe battlefield.
After the combat staff heard the general's order, no one dissuaded them. They immediately issued the order because these people knew very well that gathering the troops in Rana Mansion at this time should be the only choice among the desperation.
Yes, even if these people are cannon fodder, they have to be called back. If they are sent out to attack in separate directions, as many people as you send out will flee.
"Send my order to blow up the dam and block the advance of the suppressing army."
In desperation, General Ogasawara issued this order. The Rana Dam is the second largest dam in the entire Dongdi Kingdom. It took Dongdi Kingdom ten years to complete the construction. When the dam was completed, it greatly relieved several surrounding areas.
The local water supply was difficult, and several hydroelectric generators were purchased in the Junker Empire to ensure that residents nearby had electricity.
If it is blown up now, although it may stop the advance of the suppressing army, it may also blow up the symbol of their Dongdi Kingdom. This would be a devastating blow to the people around them.
"General, do you need to think about it? This dam is very famous to our citizens, and nearby residents still rely on it for electricity. If the dam is blown up, Rana Prefecture will be without power.
, His Royal Highness the Prince’s place…”
The combat staff did not persuade them just now, because they knew that General Ogasawara's order was correct, but if his mouth is blown off now, the impact will be too great, especially those high-ranking officials and nobles who came from the capital.
The various measures in Naifu are completely different from those in the capital, so it is very uncomfortable for them to rest. If the dam is blown up now, it means that from the moment it is blown up, Ranafu will enter the next stage.
In the age of electricity, can these people endure it?
"Do you think His Highness the Prince doesn't know what the specific solution is now? He didn't send an elite army to me. In fact, he just wanted me to blow up the dam. He just didn't want to bear the infamy. Now we
If the dam is not blown up, according to the advancing speed of the suppressing army, it will be possible for the suppressing army to occupy the dam in a week at most. At that time, this will be a weapon in their hands, and they can attack the downstream at any time.
Open the gates and release the floods.”
After General Ogasawara finished speaking, the people around him looked extremely frightened. It seemed that the General was thinking in the longer term. If the Suppressing Army occupied the dam, they could open the gate and release the water at any time, and the citizens of the Dongdi Kingdom downstream could
It's tragic. At least now we have blown up the dam, and we will also give a notice to the people downstream, asking them to hurry up and escape, so as not to drown in the water. Can the suppressing army have such good intentions?
If you think about it again, His Highness the Prince will definitely agree to this move. However, after General Ogasawara bombed this place, General Ogasawara became a scapegoat. If he can stop the advance of the suppressing army, General Ogasawara should be the one who deserves the credit.
But if he can't be stopped, this guy will immediately turn General Ogasawara into a criminal.
The people around him suddenly sympathized with General Ogasawara. He was pushed out at such a moment. Although he had a higher official position than before, but then again, is this official position still useful? Including many soldiers below.
, I don’t think this official position can bring anything to General Ogasawara. If I insist on bringing anything, it would be the grave crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan.
"Your Excellency General, please sign."
It took five minutes for his combat staff to write a combat order, but they needed to use their last batch of explosives, and it had to be signed by General Ogasawara, otherwise no one would be able to use this batch of explosives.
, General Ogasawara felt it was a bit ridiculous. After all, Dongdi Country is also a mature industrial country. The war has only been fought for two months. Even a batch of explosives requires the signature of a general like himself...
