Chapter 656: The lion opens its mouth wide!
Hearing this, Nax shook his head and said, "No, I have a detailed understanding of the entire expeditionary force!"
"The 71st Army and the 48th Army that attacked Henei are all their ace forces, and their combat effectiveness is extremely strong!"
Seeing that Nax had said this, Le Duan also expressed his opinion.
"Now that you have all retreated, I cannot leave my troops in the mountains."
"That's no different than suicide!"
"I request to withdraw from Liangshan Mountain area and retreat to Henei together with the main force of the Gaul army!"
Nax decisively rejected Le Duan's words.
"Listen, Commander-in-Chief Li, this is impossible. You have a full 100,000 troops. You are not a fool, Cornelius. Your combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of the 100,000 Alrian troops!"
"At present, all five provinces in the northwest have fallen, and even the northern plains are gradually losing their security!"
"So, the best way now is to send another 20,000 people to pursue the senior officers of the expeditionary force!"
"The other 97 Beiyue troops immediately turned around and encircled and annihilated two divisions of the th Army. After a night of fierce fighting, they only had a little over soldiers!"
"You have a complete set of troops and weapons and equipment that I have provided you. What can't you defeat?"
"After completely annihilating the 97th Army, we will take over Guangning and the three surrounding provinces, and work together with Henei to form a pincer attack and jointly resist the invasion of the expeditionary force!"
“Isn’t this the best strategic deployment at the moment?”
Seeing that the other side was so determined, Le Duan thought carefully about the situation where his 300,000-strong army in Cornell was completely defeated.
If he still wants to gain a foothold in Beiyue, he can only join forces with Nax to fight against Qin Feng.
So, he had no choice.
But he was cunning by nature, so he took advantage of the situation and said, "It's okay for me to stay and fight the 97th Army, but you have to give me the three provinces in the eastern plains as well!"
Knuckles knew very well that he was blackmailing.
But he knew better that without Beiyue's 100,000 troops, he would not be able to stop Qin Feng's attack.
For now, both sides can only huddle together for warmth and jointly defend themselves. It is not the time to tear each other apart.
Therefore, I could only nod helplessly and say: "Okay, I agree!"
Just as they were preparing to split up and issue military orders, a bolt from the blue quickly arrived.
"Commander-in-Chief, something terrible has happened!"
A signalman rushed into the headquarters in a panic, shouting, "Something bad has happened!"
“Just now, news came from the headquarters of our Third Division.
"After Commander-in-Chief Cornel boarded the C47 transport plane and successfully took off, he did not immediately fly towards Henei!"
"Instead, he circled over the enemy to show that he was not retreating due to defeat, but was only temporarily withdrawing!"
"But what none of us expected was that the enemy actually had a 37mm anti-aircraft gun!"
"More than a dozen anti-aircraft guns opened fire on the military plane carrying Commander-in-Chief Cornelius!"
"The plane was hit by several shells on its fuel tank and exploded. Sixteen high-ranking officers of the Nanyue Expeditionary Force, including Commander-in-Chief Cornelius and the Chief of Staff, were all executed by artillery fire!"
Upon hearing this, Nax and Le Duan were so scared that they took several steps back.
Commander-in-Chief Cornelius, who was yelling at them ten minutes ago, was now executed by cannon!
Nax's plan to join forces with Le Duan to launch a surprise attack on all the senior officers of the expeditionary force headquarters failed. Instead, all the senior officers of the Nanyue Expeditionary Force were killed in the sea of fire.
I have to say, this is a great irony!
"No, I have to go back to Beiyue Army immediately to command the entire army, otherwise it's not safe here!" Le Duan was so scared that he immediately prepared to leave He Nei.
.......
While they were taking action, Qin Feng was also busy.
After executing all the senior officers of the Nanyue Expeditionary Force including Cornelius.
Under the powerful firepower offensive, the elite Gallic troops in the county gradually lost their resistance and chose to surrender after leaving their positions.
Looking at these surrendered Gallic troops and the commander-in-chief of the Nanyue Expeditionary Force who was bombarded, everyone was extremely excited for a moment.
But Qin Feng still had that indifferent expression on his face. He looked into the distance and continued speaking.
"The enemy has three commanders-in-chief. We have already executed one with artillery fire. There are still two left. Don't let any of them escape!"
At this time, the signalman ran over and reported: "Commander-in-chief, a telegram has been sent from the 71st Army Headquarters!"
After Qin Feng took a look at it, he handed it to Zhang Gan, and then Lu Daoyuan and Liu Jiashu also took a look.
The three commanders were all shocked to find that all this was actually within the commander-in-chief's expectations.
"Send an order, order the 71st Army to keep the heavy artillery outside Henei City and launch a fierce bombardment to force the enemy to march urgently and return to rescue faster!"
"At the same time, order the 71th Division of the 88st Army to quickly move them to the road they must take through Henei to ambush them!"
"The 48th Division under the 175th Army will support the 88th Division and launch an ambush against the Gallic troops!"
"Finally, I order the commander of the 97th Army to hold on to the Beiyue Army's troops at all costs!"
"Don't let their main force have the opportunity to retreat to Guangning Province!"
"Tell them that the four armies I sent are all on their way!"
"As long as we hold on for another two hours, not a single soldier of the 100,000 Beiyue Army will be able to walk out of Liangshan Mountain area alive!"
"The blood debt of 32 soldiers of the 8635nd Division must be repaid with the blood of Beiyue troops!"
"Annihilate all 100,000 Beiyue troops and execute Le Duan with artillery fire!"
"Attack Henei and kill Naxos with cannons!"
"Eliminate the enemy and unify Beiyue!"
......
Military trucks loaded with soldiers were galloping madly on Highway No. 1 from Henei to Liangshan.
At the same time, there were fully armed soldiers running forward on both sides.
Everyone is in high spirits and excited.
"Damn it, it's so cool to chase the enemy and fight him!"
The commander of the 88th Division, who was sitting in the back seat of a military jeep, spoke excitedly.
While the two were talking, the commander of the guard battalion in the passenger seat pointed at the military vehicle that had just passed by and spoke in confusion.
"Commander, look over there!"
Upon hearing this, the commander of the 88th Division turned around and saw something in the overtaking military vehicle.
The soldiers stood in neat rows, looking brave and heroic.
Holding a standard submachine gun and wearing camouflage uniform, he looks majestic and arrogant.
The commander of the 88th Division was surprised and said: "This is not our 88th Division's troops!"
Then he shouted loudly: "Hey, which unit are you from?"
"We are from the 175th Division!" the soldier in the military vehicle responded.
Upon hearing this, the commander of the 88th Division slapped his thigh and cursed: "Damn it, the 175th Division has caught up!"
"Didn't the commander-in-chief say that we should have the 175th Division support our 88th Division? It's obvious that we are the main force to stop Langley's elite Gallic troops!"
"Now what does this mean?"
