Take the Empire To the Other World

Chapter 143 Only one colonel was captured

The first and the largest group of people is naturally the first group army specially set up by Wang Ziming, which is hundreds of thousands of people.

While besieging Obaro's 1st Infantry Division on the outskirts of Reese City, more than a hundred thousand people surrounded Rees City on three sides!

The second group is the French line infantry stationed in the Devil's Mountains. It is the smallest group, with less than 100,000 people...

Mainly responsible for building a smooth road from the Land of Hope to the entrance of the Devil's Mountain, guarding and supervising the collection of magic stones by the prisoners of war and miners, and establishing a complete defense system in the Devil's Mountain based on the terrain, which is mainly used to defend against the attacks of demonized creatures and undead tides, of course , and when necessary, it can also defend against human troops invading from the outside.

The remaining two groups were large troops sweeping towards the colonial area of ​​Reese in the opposite direction. These two groups of French infantry were not used intensively, but moved in division-level combat units of more than 10,000 people.

At the same time, he also received the order of 'eating the enemy' from Wang Ziming.

If nothing else happened, given the wealth of the colonial area in Reese City, Wang Ziming would not need to worry about the food for the two French line infantry that swept across the colonial area within two days.

Even if they rob, they can still grab enough food!

Not to mention that there will be casualties during the robbery, and there will be fewer mouths to eat...

The colonial area of ​​Reese City is very vast. After decades of colonization, a large amount of farmland has been opened up, and naturally a lot of food has been stored. Therefore, Wang Ziming is not worried about the food and grass of the two armies.

Now Wang Ziming is most worried about the rations of the first army and the garrison in the Devil's Mountains.

The number of troops stationed in the Devil's Mountain Range is small, and they can be supplemented by hunting and collecting wild fruits in the Devil's Mountain Range. Coupled with the food produced in the different space territory, it will be enough in the short term.

But the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the First Army had no food 'budget'!

Not even a short-term food budget!

Because the First Army went directly to Rees City, and only occupied a Tomato Town along the way, and did not plunder other human strongholds, so naturally they could not get much food...

Therefore, Wang Ziming's order to the First Army was to wipe out Obaro's First Infantry Division within three days and break through the city of Rees, and use the food in Rees City to fill the stomach of the First Army!

As the richest administrative center in the colonial area of ​​Reese City, Reese City should be able to grab short-term food supplies for the First Army.

That's right, all of Wang Ziming's budgets are based on short-term calculations. Wang Ziming is very satisfied if he can supply the rations of more than two million troops in a short period of time. At least give him time to continue to expand outward.

Anyway, grab the rations during the march!

Since he chose to tear himself apart from the city of Reese, Wang Ziming didn't plan to slowly develop his farm, so he naturally wanted to carry out the glorious tradition of robbery...

When Wang Ziming was looking at the loss of troops on the personal panel, a report suddenly came from outside the door.

Soon, Wang Ziming met the 'enemy' who somehow wanted to kill him - Li Chengdong.

Li Chengdong was the only officer above the rank of second lieutenant in Obaro's 1st Infantry Division who surrendered.

But it's not accurate to say that, because Li Chengdong has the rank of colonel, but he has no specific position. He usually follows his father as an adjutant at most, learning how to be a qualified senior officer.

At the same time, he also became acquainted with or made friends with the middle and senior officers of Obaro's 1st Infantry Division, paving the way for officially becoming the chief officer of the regular army in the future.

To put it bluntly, Li Chengdong is the kind of gold-plated route for the children of top dignitaries...

This phenomenon is very common in the federal military. Why did the middle and senior officers of Obaro's 1st Infantry Division all fight to the death?

Is it really because of patriotism?

Well, there may be a few reasons here, but the most important factor is that all the mid-level and high-level military officers are all from noble families!

If they die in battle, they can still receive martyr treatment from the federal government, and the families behind them will also be proud of it, and will not be hit by political enemies.

But if they surrender, the family behind them will definitely be implicated, and it is unlucky for one person to surrender and the whole family!

Those who can enter the federal regular army as official mid-level and senior officers are not the top talents among the noble children, but they are also the best among them. They grew up in an educational environment where family honor is above all else. Take the blame?

Of course, Li Chengdong's surrender was not voluntary. Originally, Li Shimin wanted to send his son out in the chaos, but he was shot in the face. Li Chengdong was injured and fell to the ground and passed out. When he woke up, he was already a prisoner... …

The French line infantry had fully seen the end of the death and suicide of the senior officers of Obaro's 1st Infantry Division, so they finally captured a colonel and high-ranking officer. I want to dedicate it to my boss before I die!

This was an order from Wang Ziming. He hoped to capture mid-level and high-ranking regular federal army officers, and then set an example of surrender through propaganda to break the will of the federal army to resist.

This kind of thing doesn't cost much.

It's just that Wang Ziming didn't expect that the noble officers of the Zilong Federation's regular army were so stubborn that they would fight to the end!

On the contrary, ordinary soldiers and low-level officers (below second lieutenants) surrendered a lot. After Obaro's 1st Infantry Division collapsed as a whole, the remaining soldiers gave up resistance...

Ordinary soldiers and low-level military officers are all civilians. They have no family honor to protect, and they don't have a huge family property to guard against political enemies. When the army is defeated, resistance becomes a meaningless sacrifice, and they naturally surrender...

If it weren't for the middle and senior officers of Obaro's 1st Infantry Division who forced a large number of junior officers and soldiers to die before committing suicide, more people would have surrendered.

These soldiers and grassroots officers have nothing to publicize, because their own influence is too low, and they cannot tell the federal army that your platoon leaders have surrendered. Everyone, surrender quickly...

Saying that would only add to the joke...

So Wang Ziming sent all these captives to mine in the Hope Land of Devil Mountain.

Now all the forest cool people are opening up farmland in the different space territory, producing as much food as possible to support the army. The magic stone mine, the place of hope in the real world, naturally needs a large number of miners to supplement.

And these soldiers who know how to fight, Wang Ziming, dare not let them go. What if they are encouraged to join the guerrillas and resist him?

These people are all veterans. A guerrilla group composed of ordinary people and a guerrilla group composed of veterans are completely different concepts!

Therefore, all the prisoners of war who had been soldiers, Prince Ming, were sent to the Devil's Mountains as miners!
