Warlords: Conquer the world from the county magistrate
Chapter 344: Unification of the New Country (Part 1)
Kasahara Nobuyuki had already made plans to use warships and naval guns to severely defeat the New China army and save some face for the battle.
After the warships' bombardment, they will also leave Qiyuan and go to the East China Sea for supplies.
Even if there is enough ammunition, the navy cannot fight for long without supplies on shore. After all, how can you fight without food and water?
The messenger officer immediately went to convey the order and the telegram was sent to the navy on the warship.
After receiving the telegram, the commander of the warship sighed and said, "Order all naval guns to fire at Qingzhou Harbor."
"Hi, Your Excellency the Commander."
After the order was conveyed, the dwarf locust warship began to calibrate, and then shells were placed into the ship's gun one by one.
"Boom boom boom."
The shells landed near Qingzhou Harbor, and in an instant, huge pits appeared on the ground. The power of naval guns was much greater than that of land guns.
Because there was no transportation pressure, the caliber of the ship's guns was much larger than that of the land guns. Every time a shell fell, it would clear a large area of Nanshan Army soldiers on the ground, making the commander of the 21st Division tear up.
"Retreat, retreat quickly."
A messenger immediately conveyed the order, and the troops of the 21st Division immediately retreated, while the dwarf locust naval guns continued to bombard.
Kasahara Nobuyuki in the port put down the telescope and couldn't help but smile.
The shells fell regardless of whether they were inside or outside the port. Many shells fell inside the port, taking away the lives of many remaining dwarf locust soldiers.
This is a method that would hurt both parties. Kasahara Nobuyuki chose to do so, which can be regarded as his loyalty to the dwarf locust.
The moment he put down the telescope, a cannonball landed beside him, and Kasahara Nobuyuki's entire body turned into ashes under the cannonball.
After retreating more than ten miles with his soldiers, the commander of the 21st Division was still frightened when he saw the explosion at the port.
He heaved a sigh of relief, and then he could not wait to order: "Count the casualties of each unit."
"Yes."
Half an hour later, the division chief of staff came to report with a serious face: "Division commander, nearly three thousand people failed to come out."
Hearing this battle report, the commander of the 21st Division could not help but lower his head sadly. It was obvious that they were unable to return, and it would be basically difficult to return if they were stuck in the port.
Nearly three thousand people were killed in the battle, of which only over a thousand were lost in the attack on the port, and the remaining nearly two thousand were killed by the naval guns of the S.S.
The Locust's naval guns were not only extremely powerful, but also had a very long range. The entire port and the three kilometers extending outward were within its strike range. It took them more than twenty minutes to escape from the three-kilometer range.
"Hmph, report the situation to the commander, and wait until the enemy warships cease fire before going to the port to clean up the battlefield."
"Yes."
The commander of the 21st Division now had a clear understanding of naval guns and felt somewhat wary of them.
After receiving the report from the 21st Division, Li Zhongwu's face became very solemn.
Nanshan also has its own navy, but because it is not near the sea, it does not have its own warships. Most of the naval officers who graduated from the military academy this year stayed.
Now that we have occupied Qiyuan, we will be able to unify the new country immediately, and Nanshan should also establish its own navy.
When Li Zhongwu began to dream, other military regions in Nanshan also began to take action.
The first is the Mobei Province that the Seventh Military Region is about to enter. Because it is close to the White Bear Country, the forces of the two countries are intricately intertwined. Even though Ma Yunshan has been eliminated, not much has changed in more than half a year.
Wang Zhixian sent three divisions into Mobei. Faced with the three divisions of the Seventh Military Region, Mobei Province did not put up any decent resistance.
However, Mobei is close to White Bear after all, so the Nanshan government has not made major changes to the political structure of Mobei for the time being.
The Sixth Military Region mobilized almost all of its troops, sending the 69th Division to Jiangbei, and the remaining nine divisions will enter Beiyuan first.
After occupying Beiyuan, the 60th, 61st, 62nd and 63rd Divisions entered Changde, and the 64th, 65th, 66th and 67th Divisions attacked Shengyang.
After taking Changde and Shengyang, we will gather our forces together to deal with Zhang Futing.
The Fifth Military Region's offensive was also very successful. In the three provinces of Hainan, Guangnan and Huinan, except for some troops stationed in Huinan by the southern government, Hainan and Guangnan are now ownerless areas.
But Cai Tingwu was not careless. After occupying Hainan and Guangnan, he actively arranged coastal defense to prevent enemies from the sea.
The Third Military Region has a much heavier task. Dongchuan Province has the new country's metropolis of Donghai, where the situation is complicated and naturally cannot be neglected.
Jinchang is the base of the southern government, and most of the newly recruited troops are concentrated here. Only the defense of the southeast province is relatively lax.
Zhang Wei ordered the 39th Army to enter Southeast Province, and the remaining 30th, 31st, 32nd, 33rd and 34th Divisions attacked Dongchuan, and the 35th, 36th, 37th and 38th Divisions attacked Jinchang.
Although the Northern Government recruited a lot of new troops, these people were untrained and poorly equipped. The 68th Division alone wiped out tens of thousands of new troops in the North Plains within one day, shocking the Northern Government.
After receiving the news, Yuan Yueting fell ill and the people within the northern government were in panic.
The northern government was having a hard time, and so was the southern government. Facing the four divisions of the Nanshan government's Third Military Region, Chang Yun first sent out 200,000 new troops to meet them.
Although the new army in the South was stronger than the government in the North, it was still very limited. The army's equipment was uneven and the soldiers were inadequately trained.
The Nanshan government did not use any clever strategies, but it just moved its troops slightly and when it mobilized the Southern New Army to follow the movement, it seized the opportunity and wiped out the 200,000 Southern New Army.
With the momentum of a great victory, the four divisions of the Northern Government surrounded Jin'an City, the capital of Jinchang Province.
At the Southern Government Conference, senior officials gathered.
Chang Yunxian couldn't help but sigh, the Nanshan government was developing too rapidly. They had not yet recovered from the last defeat, while the Nanshan Army had already grown to an extremely large size.
"Tell me, what should we do now?" Seeing that no one spoke for a long time, Chang Yunxian couldn't help but ask.
Many of the senior executives present were dodgy and weighing the pros and cons in their minds.
Most of these people were not high-ranking military officials, but they held important positions in the Southern government and made a lot of efforts in overthrowing the previous dynasty.
In the more than ten years since the founding of the new country, they have gained a lot of power and wealth, but now facing the broken ship that is about to collapse, they do not want to be buried with it.
Many people are still thinking in their hearts whether they can join the Nanshan government, continue to be important officials, get promoted and make money.
Finance Minister Xu Lansheng whispered, "Commander-in-Chief, the Nanshan government is now powerful. Instead of resisting with all our might, it would be better to negotiate peace with them and buy a chance to breathe."
"Yes, yes, yes, peace talks are the best way out now." Many people agreed.
This scene made the military leaders and Chang Yunxian look livid.
"Shut up. You have enjoyed so much honor, power, and wealth in the past. The Nanshan government only has tens of thousands of troops at the gates of the city. Are you giving up now?"
Xu Weigong on the side was also very angry. The Southern Government was his hard work and the goal of his life's struggle. Now it has not yet completely failed. How could these people talk about peace talks?
These people say it is peace talks, but to put it bluntly it is just surrender in disguise. Xu Weigong will never agree to it.
"The Nanshan government is attacking everywhere. It seems powerful, but there are not many troops in various places. As long as we seize the opportunity, we can divide and attack them and resolve the crisis."
