Andre, the commander of Bailton Division, looked helplessly at Lu Ming, who was chattering beside him.
The Bailton Division is preparing to evacuate Fort Bailton.
Fort Bailton is the capital of Bailton State, an important northeastern town that once defended the imperial capital. The Duke of Bailton has always been the most accomplished imperial general, rather than a hereditary noble title. It was not until more than 300 years ago that the empire fully established a constitutional monarchy.
The title disappeared in the long history of history.
However, the designation of Bailton's Corps has been retained, but now it has become Bailton's Division with only more than 10,000 soldiers.
Andre never dared to forget the glory of his ancestors, but the problem was that the Bailton Division was not mechanized at all, and there was only a tank battalion directly under the division headquarters, with only twenty or thirty tanks.
The Third Mechanic Division of the Sonya Defense Forces, which is about to arrive at Fort Bailton, is one of the most elite mechanics in Sonya. It is a fully armored force with more than 300 tanks.
Bailton's division had no hope of resisting the attack.
What's more, the main troops of both sides are now in a state of repair and assembly. Orders from "Eastston" and even the Northern Army Headquarters ordered the Bailton Division to temporarily abandon Fort Bailton.
The Sonia frontline troops still have legions that are encroaching on their own territory.
This is the case with the Third Mechanic Division. Because it entered the Grifenni region late and failed to catch up with the major battle, its commander is holding his breath. Now it is rampaging in the northern region. Moreover, in the northern region, it is true that
It is difficult for the Greyfinni army to pose a threat to it.
Following the orders from "Dongston", the Greifenian legions are gradually gathering in the central region, and are also waiting for the materials and equipment provided by the Eastern Alliance. It is said that the heavy industry areas in the east, and even the northern region, are all working hard to produce.
Chariots, a large number of chariots have been continuously transported to the empire on the north-south railway line.
Therefore, the piecemeal resistance in the northern region today is of no importance at all.
Unexpectedly, the normal evacuation operation of the Bailton Division was blocked by the captain from the Principality of Montenegro.
Captain Army's command seemed to be an infantry battalion, and it was supposed to be operating in the Newsleton area hundreds of kilometers away, where it was very safe.
Unexpectedly, this small armed force came to the northern front line inexplicably.
Captain Lu was still talking, "Trading territory for time doesn't work like this. We always have to stop the Sonia people and beat their arrogance!"
For the first time, Lu Ming had to use all his tricks to convince people, and his mouth was dry when he said, "The location of Fort Bailton is also very important. Sonia's third mechanic is not someone who obeys the orders of his superiors and does not repair them."
, instead it has been advancing northward. It is obvious that its goal is Fort Bailton. Because it controls the Bailton Bridge, its frontline can conquer the northern area. In the next battle, its mechanical troops will be completely defeated.
Take the initiative!”
Andre said helplessly: "I understand what you said, but our resistance is just a mantis trying to fight a chariot. Apart from sacrificing in vain, it will have no effect. We are not afraid of sacrifice, but sacrifices without any value are of no value to the commander."
It is an irresponsible and shameful act."
If he hadn't felt that the other party was volunteering to support our country's war against the invaders, a small leader armed with hundreds of civilians would not have met him at all.
If you don't want to lose your prestige in front of third-party soldiers and don't want the other party to think that you are a coward and fear of death, there is no need to explain these explanations.
Lu Ming said helplessly: "But even if you retreat, aren't you ready to blow up the Bailton Bridge?"
Andre immediately opened his eyes in surprise. It was obvious that he had never thought about this problem before, and he found it even more incredible.
The Bailton Bridge is the longest cross-river bridge in the empire. It is extremely costly and connects the southern and northern areas of Grifony. With a total length of more than 4,000 meters, it once created a miracle in the history of architecture.
Why blow it up?
Lu Ming looked at Andre's expression and shook his head inwardly. Where is this war? It's just a child's play.
Indeed, despite the fact that the Sonyans had already captured the imperial capital, the casualties on both sides were not large.
However, the number of officers and soldiers captured and surrendered by the Kingdom of Grifenni exceeded 150,000.
Among them, eight divisions were organized and raised the white flag.
But he just saw that things were not going to work and he did not want to make unnecessary sacrifices after being surrounded, but he would not change his banner and be reorganized into the Sonia army by the Sonia people and turn against him.
The Sonnians were not as cruel to the Grifenni as they were to the Geeds or in the Western Regions.
Those behaviors in the Gede region or the Western Regions are strictly prohibited. However, during the war, soldiers killed, set fire, raped and looted, etc. It is impossible to disappear. However, compared with the Gede region and the Western Regions, such violations of military discipline
The behavior is relatively rare, because if it is confirmed by the first control military police investigation, it will be severely punished.
Of course, the Grifenni who held demonstrations in the Sonnian-occupied areas were still fired upon mercilessly by machine guns.
Thinking about it, Lu Ming said: "What if I said that we have a chance to intercept the Sonya mechanics and make them return defeated?"
Andre shook his head disapprovingly: "Captain Lu, let's stop daydreaming!"
Standing next to Andre all the time was a tall and thin colonel, the chief of staff of the Bailton Division, Debaire.
In fact, we know from his surname that he may be related to the last Duke of Belton, and may be his direct descendant.
At this time, De Beer interjected: "Captain Lu, do you have a way to stop the Sonya mechanics?"
Andre frowned and glanced at him, but said nothing.
Lu Ming nodded: "We have secret weapons and specially trained anti-tank troops."
Debyer's eyes lit up: "Would you like to hear the details?"
Lu Ming said: "Let's see it again during the battle. I won't be able to explain it for a while."
Andre shook his head, "Captain Lu, I'm not trying to discourage you. I also admire your courage and perseverance. However, the volunteers you brought are all infantry, and I don't see any artillery or other large-scale weapons."
Weapons, I can tell you clearly that even if you fill a truck with gunpowder and get close to the Sonia tank before being destroyed by the opponent, there is not much hope of destroying his tank, unless your truck is a secret weapon.
It has an unknown structure, but according to my observation, these trucks seem to be produced in our Greifeni region!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! There was some sarcasm in Andre's tone, and he gradually became impatient with the Yankee who had never seen the world. Do you think tanks are so easy to deal with?
You say you have armored forces in the Northern Territory, but they are still the kind of tin cans that were used decades ago? Do you, a country bumpkin, think our tanks are so ridiculous?
De Beer also had some doubts in his eyes as he stared at Lu Ming. He was originally happy, but now his confidence is gradually shaken.
Lu Ming thought for a while and said: "In this way, I only need one regiment to provide cover, and a tank battalion directly under the division headquarters. I hope to stay as well. My battle plan is to attack Sonia's tank division at Bailton Bridge.
Launch a blockade, and if it fails, our people will blow up the Bailton Bridge, so the covering troops you left behind will have enough time to retreat."
"What are you doing by blowing up the bridge? Do you know what a huge impact it will have on the economy of Bayton State?" Andre's tone gradually became stern.
Lu Ming wanted to open his head to see what was inside, but he also understood that the Griffinnians and the Sonyans had always been one. In fact, no matter which side won the competition in the end, they had no shameful emotions such as subjugation.
.
What's more, they have never been baptized by the brutal wars of modern times. The current state of mind of many of their senior generals is completely different from their own.
Over there, De Beer's eyes lit up when he heard Lu Ming repeatedly mention "blow up the bridge". Obviously, he supported the idea of blowing up the bridge.
"Commander, I am willing to stay and supervise Captain Lu not to blow up the bridge!"
De Beer said so, but from the gleam in his eyes, it was obvious that he thought that if he stayed behind, even if it proved that these people from the Northern Territory were just talking nonsense, at least they could blow up the bridge and seriously hinder the Sonia people from achieving their goals smoothly.
strategic goals.
Andre frowned, but Debyer had already told the staff officer not far away: "Convey the order from the division headquarters to order the third regiment and the division tank battalion to terminate the retreat and wait for my further instructions!"
The staff officer stood up and left.
Andre was a little helpless. It seemed that the critical moment was really coming. De Beer didn't dislike him too much, and there was nothing he could do. In the Bailton Division, De Beer's prestige was probably higher than that of the division commander.
