It was on the banks of the mountains and rivers, in order to cover up their highest authority, the total of only tens of thousands of Duchy troops and the 300,000 encircled army fought for a full five days.

On the day the Independent Regiment ended its military exercise, the Battle of Mountains, which was thousands of miles away, was also over.

Liu Lang couldn't help but look back at the map that he deliberately marked with a red line, and took the opportunity to hide the tears flashing from the corners of his eyes.

After a moment of silence, Liu Lang threw out a telegram, "Read."

"The war report, the last trace of resistance of the Duchy Army was crushed at noon this day. In addition to a small number of Duchy Army continuing to flee westward, our troops have also encircled and annihilated most of its remaining troops. Our generals crossed the river and chased them urgently, and they must encircled and annihilated the remaining Duchy Army, so as not to disturb the rest of the states. Liu." Chi Dakui hesitated and picked up the telegram and read it.

Obviously, this is a war report from the battle between the two armies on the front line.

The eyes of the independent corps who heard the content of this battle report flashed, but no one expressed their opinions. Even Zhao Ergou, who had always been a good person, didn't speak at this moment, just lowered his head and smoked.

They are not fools. At this moment, they will no longer know that Commander Liu suddenly ordered the guard platoon to expand the alert range by 100 meters because of the Duchy Army. Then they were really squeezed by their foreheads.

Commander Liu sympathized with the Principality Army in the Independent Regiment. He was ordered to fight with the Principality Army, which had just entered Qiutongzhou west of Andongcheng, which had not yet established a stable foothold. It was just that the Independent Regiment directed and acted on a long-distance live-fire exercise. In the eyes of unknown people, perhaps Liu Lang wanted to preserve his strength but not fight with the Principality Army. This kind of thing has long been common among the warlords, and even the kingdom turned a blind eye and thought it could not be seen.

But the core members of the Independent Regiment were very clear. If Captain Liu wanted to fight, although there were nearly 10,000 troops in the Principality Army, the Independent Regiment was not an ordinary Kingdom Army. The Independent Regiment Company, equipped with mountain cannons, mortars and the latest machine guns developed by the Independent Regiment Ordnance Factory, was shot in Xiang. That ten thousand Duchy Army was equipped with only big sword guns and old tooth rifles.

Commander Liu didn't want to go to war with the Duchy Army at all. This is something that the middle and senior leaders of the Independent Regiment knew very well, but no one had ever mentioned it on the table, and even in private. In this environment, it is not to say that this is just a loss of office, but that is to make the leader lose his head, especially since the 19th Route Army launched the original Taicheng Incident last year. The Independent Regiment formed based on veterans of the 19th Route Army can be said to be even more cautious, for fear of being caught by the kingdom.

But unexpectedly, Captain Liu took the initiative to put this matter on the table and said it, which made the lieutenant and school officials feel a little upset. Commander, please don’t go too crazy!

Especially Zhao Ergou, there is only one sentence: If you like Xiao Yangniu, you can just hook up secretly. You can just call me the wind, just take it home in a noble way! Lieutenant Colonel Ji will kill people with a gun.

Some truths in life are actually the same as playing politics, but there is no difference between them.

A hint of bitterness appeared on the corner of Li Guobin's mouth. Looking around, the backbone of the Independent Regiment who could sit here accounted for 95% of the former subordinates of the 19th Route Army. Whether it was Commander Liu, or the other three infantry battalions commanders, the Logistics Minister Liang Wenzhong, the Artillery Battalion Commander Zhao Ergou, the baggage company commander, the engineering company commander, and the guard platoon standing outside to be responsible for the guard, they were actually from the former 19th Route Army.

No wonder Commander Liu’s feelings for the Principal Army are not very similar to other troops. General Cai’s 19th Route Army established independence in the former Taicheng in response to the establishment of a unified anti-Blackhawk Empire Front by the Principal Army. It is not surprising that they have such thoughts as those who came out of that unit.

In addition, the deputy and chief of staff were not there, so he was the only newcomer here after a long time.

"Captain, what do you mean is to analyze the frontline battle situation for us?" Although Li Guobin didn't talk much, he was a wise man. He knew it was time for him to express his attitude. Seeing Liu Lang nodding slightly and not expressing any dissatisfaction, Li Guobin continued: "In my humble opinion, although this telegram was short, it still leaked an important information, that is, hundreds of thousands of troops were surrounded, but the Duchy army still ran away. Whether strategically or tactically, they were all defeated. However, the Duchy army also suffered heavy losses in this battle. If they wanted to break through the encirclement of hundreds of thousands of troops, they would not be able to go as much as possible. In terms of military tactics, soldiers are very high, but they actually took four or five days to evacuate them all. From a strategic and tactical analysis, they were also losers. There was no winner in this battle."

Liu Lang's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but look at Li Guobin with some admiration. This top student who graduated from the military academy relied on the ancient city to fight the father and son, both of whom were national heroes. Liu Lang's eyes entered the Independent Regiment, but being the commander of the first battalion was more to appease the hearts of thousands of veterans of the 29th Route Army who entered the Independent Regiment. Just talking about heroes, at least three lieutenant-level officers who can serve as this position are left.

However, he has done quite well this year. Although he has not won the first place in several major competitions, he has not won the last one, and is in the middle in a normal manner. But that is already rare. You know, his opponent is three battalions composed of veterans who have been fighting bloody battles with the Black Hawk Empire Army for more than half a year and have been fighting for two months and hundreds of battles for the rest of his life.

But judging from his remarks, Liu Lang finally underestimated his point. Not only did he point out the situation facing both sides of the war in this battle, he also quietly used this to express his attitude again. The first speech he made was to clarify his attitude.

That is, Captain Liu, I will definitely stand on the same line as you.

Liu Lang nodded slightly, "Guobin's analysis is good, no, it can be said that it is very correct. Both of them were defeated in this battle, both in terms of strategy and tactics."

Yes, the king's hundreds of thousands of troops did not seize the opportunity to destroy the Duchy army on the east bank of the mountains and rivers, and let the leaders of the Duchy army lead an elite 30,000 people across the mountains and rivers. This was their biggest mistake. The Duchy army, which had changed the leader, embarked on the road of letting the king sleep and not sleep well. In his dreams, he played hide-and-seek with his old opponent.

This is a strategic mistake, and a tactical mistake on the front line. The troops are far superior, the firepower is far superior, and the terrain is also advantageous, but it still has not done its best. Isn't it a mistake?

On the other hand, if the Duchy Army could throw away most of the baggage and advance lightly, they would not have to go with hundreds of thousands of troops to a small number of enemies for five days and four nights. However, they did not, so they were four days late for them, and the Supreme Government had all passed through Shanjiang.

On the battlefield, fighter jets change rapidly, not to mention that the time span is so long. They also paid a heavy price for this. Every minute delay represents the sacrifice of countless heroic warriors.

However, this is naturally not the time to discuss any strategy, and the independent group has not reached that level.

Liu Lang turned his eyes to Chi Dakui and said, "Dakui, tell me what you think."

"Battor Li may not know the combat effectiveness of the Duchy Army in the north, but I once fought with the Duchy Army under the command of Commander Wang three years ago. Their equipment was worse than us, but their combat effectiveness, especially their willpower, was much stronger than that of us. Even if our independent regiment was at present, it would be slightly worse. Once they charge, it means that there is endless death. There are people who charge all over the mountains and fields. Unless they are killed, they will rush to wherever they are, even if there is only one person, their flag points there. It is really terrible. In that battle, our regiment lost more than half of it, which was the most painful battle I have ever encountered since I participated in the 19th Route Army. Even when we fought against the Black Hawk Empire in Haicheng two years ago, we were not afraid of them, but for them, we..." Chi Dakui still looked shocked when he recalled three years ago.

As the former infantry company commander of the 19th Route Army, Chi Dakui was the only one among all of them who had commanded the grassroots troops to fight against the Duchy Army. His words were naturally the most representative.

He didn't say anything else, that is, in the battle after the war with the Duchy Army under the command of the king, the 19th Route Army vowed not to participate in this kind of civil war in the Chinese people again, and since then it became a thorn in the king's side.
