I am the emperor in Nanyang, I am the ultimate winner

Chapter 68: Defense of Shencheng (Part )

On the morning of November 5, 1931, Zhu Qian, the intelligence chief, hurried to the palace and reported to Qin Ruihua: "Your Majesty."

"Our intelligence department just cracked a secret message. According to the intelligence, Dongyang will attack Shencheng of Dazhou in ten days."

Qin Ruihua sat on the sofa and frowned. He didn't expect that Dongyang Kingdom would take action against Dazhou Kingdom so soon.

He was silent for a moment, then asked, "Is this secret message reliable?"

Zhu Qian quickly replied: "Your Majesty, this secret message has been verified many times by us, so it should be correct."

Qin Ruihua nodded in approval.

Zhu Qian sighed and said, "Your Majesty, we can notify the Great State and let them prepare."

Qin Ruihua frowned slightly, wondering whether to tell Dazhou Kingdom.

Finally, he decided to remind the Great State, after all, there were still some trade exchanges and cooperation projects between the two countries.

So he said, "Okay, then notify the Great State and ask them to prepare defensive measures."

Zhu Qian took the order and left, immediately arranging personnel to notify the Dazhou Kingdom.

At the same time, he also strengthened intelligence gathering on Dongyang State in order to keep abreast of the progress of the war.

After the third day, the Vice President of Dazhou State received the news, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.

He thought of the troops stationed in Shencheng - his own Flame Machinery Fourth Division.

This force is slightly different from the Yan State Army in organization. It consists of two brigades, four regiments and one artillery regiment, with a total number of more than 14,000 people.

It can be said that this is a highly mechanized force with strong combat effectiveness and advanced equipment.

Among them, the main weapons include fifty tanks and dozens of artillery pieces (excluding mortars), which are important weapons in modern warfare.

The Fourth Flame Machinery Division is regarded as the elite among the elite. They are well-trained and have rich combat experience.

Vice President Wen Qingxiang knew very well that this was an elite force that he had put a lot of effort into building.

If his army suffered heavy losses or even was wiped out in this war, all his years of hard work would be wasted.

He picked up the phone and called Du Nanjian, the fourth commander of the Yan Mechanized Division, and said in a serious tone: "Commander Du, the Yan State has just revealed to me that the Dongyang State plans to launch an attack on Shencheng within ten days."

"Immediately order your troops to evacuate this area. I will discuss with the President how to redeploy the troops."

Commander Du's puzzled voice came from the other end of the phone: "President, why are you retreating so suddenly?"

"We are confident that we can defeat the Dongyang Kingdom. This is also an opportunity to demonstrate the combat effectiveness of our newly built troops!"

Vice President Wen Qingxiang frowned and responded unhappily: "Commander Du, my order is to retreat, obey military orders!"

"Are you going to disobey the president's orders? Or are you going to lose all my property?"

After a moment of silence, Commander Du firmly replied: "Report to the President, it is everyone's responsibility to defend the country."

"At this critical moment, everyone is trying to preserve their strength. If this continues, how can we fight this battle?"

Vice President Wen Qingxiang responded gloomily: "Captain She, although our troops are much better equipped than the Dongyang troops."

"But Dongyang still has a large number of warships and carrier-based aircraft. Without air and sea control, you are sending my troops to their deaths!"

Du Nanjian, the fourth commander of the Yan Mechanized Division, retorted: "President, haven't you already purchased two hundred fighter jets from Yan Country?"

"As long as you can arrange some fighters to support us, I guarantee that I am confident that we can win this war."

"This will not only greatly enhance the confidence of the entire nation in fighting against the Dongyang Kingdom, but will also boost morale and stabilize the people's hearts."

After a moment of silence, Vice President Wen Qingxiang said, "I now order you to immediately order your troops to withdraw from Shencheng."

The commander of the Fourth Division of the Fire and Armament Division, Du Nanjian, replied: "It is absolutely impossible. We are soldiers. There are only soldiers who died in battle, not soldiers who escaped."

"Please, President, do not forget our mission and responsibility."

Vice President Wen Qingxiang shouted angrily: "You bastard, you are risking my life with my family's wealth!"

The commander of the Fourth Division of the Du Nanjian Fire Mechanized Division responded without showing any weakness: "If the President has nothing else to do, I will hang up first. I still need to make military deployments."

After saying that, he hung up the phone, leaving Vice President Wen Qingxiang shaking with anger.

When Vice President Wen Qingxiang saw that the Fourth Division Commander dared to hang up his phone, he was so angry that he trembled all over and his face was as gloomy as the dark clouds before a storm.

"This damn bastard! I have finally assembled these five well-equipped troops, and now he wants them to fight to the death!" Vice President Wen Qingxiang cursed with gritted teeth.

"Forget it, forget it." Vice President Wen Qingxiang suddenly took a deep breath and calmed down. He realized that now was not the time to lose his temper.

He knew that this war could affect the fate of the entire country, and as vice president, he had to make the right decision.

Vice President Wen Qingxiang quickly dialed another number.

"Order the 1st Yanxie Division to go to Shencheng immediately to support the 4th Yanxie Division, and notify the 2nd Aviation Brigade to prepare for battle." Vice President Wen Qingxiang said.

"Yes." the other party replied.

Afterwards, Vice President Wen Qingxiang dialed an important phone number again.

The person on this call was the President.

"Mr. President, the situation is urgent. Please immediately send the Fourth and Fifth Armies to Shanghai for support. We need more troops to deal with this crisis." Vice President Wen Qingxiang said anxiously.

After some discussion, the President finally agreed to Vice President Wen Qingxiang's request.

Thus, a huge army began to gather.

The Fourth Army and the Fifth Army have a total of about 50,000 to 60,000 people. Together with the First and Fourth Yanxie Divisions and local troops, the total strength is close to 100,000.

At this time, the navy of Dongyang State also began to take action. This time, it directly dispatched three aircraft carriers, two battleships, five cruisers, as well as destroyers, frigates, etc.

There are also two Marine divisions, and the two Marine divisions alone have more than 5 people.

This time they wanted to attack Shencheng, the most prosperous city in Dazhou State, in order to divert international attention.

After all, in the view of Dongyang State, two Marine Divisions can definitely take over Shencheng.

They also knew that the troops stationed here were very well-equipped.

Otherwise, they would not have dispatched more than three times the number of troops, but they did not know that their intelligence had been leaked.

At this time, two armies of Dazhou Kingdom plus a fire-machined division were gathering towards Shencheng.
