Chapter 426 Sudden Order
In this fierce battlefield, no one can guarantee that they can come back intact. In fact, of course, including Ji Hongsi and Meng Zhize. Although they are the aces among the aces, they cannot boast that they will never have that day.
Like other pilots, they were ready to sacrifice themselves for the empire after each mission, and they were always happy every time they came back, and were glad that they were still alive.
The monster's navy is gradually compressing the empire's range of activities in the southern waters of Madagascar. More and more warships have appeared on that area, especially the ghostly submarines under the sea, which are even more numerous.
The sea surface where the empire originally had an absolute advantage was increasingly difficult to defend.
The navy soldiers are now facing the same problems as the air force soldiers. It is not bad north of the Mozambique Strait, but this is still under the complete control of the empire, but the soldiers who were on duty in the southern waters are also ready to sacrifice.
With the successive fall of Central Asia and South Asia, enemy fleets may appear at any time in the northern sea surface. Not available at the moment does not mean that there is no future. The naval soldiers of the Chinese Empire have already made this mental preparation.
The wolf pack tactics are not only used by the submarine troops of the Empire, but the monsters follow suit and use them very well.
The hunting game is always in this wide ocean. Unlike the Air Force, the battle between life and death in the ocean is carried out day and night, and has never stopped for even a quarter of an hour.
I don’t know how many soldiers were buried in this bottomless ocean, and the warships became the fish’s new nest.
As the pressure on the sea became increasingly greater, the battlefield commander did not know how long his fleet could defend this lonely island.
Although the empire still had an advantage with the support of the air force from various archipelagos, this advantage has gradually weakened over time.
Madagascar Huaxia Empire Front Command.
This place may be busier than the Imperial Ministry of Defense, and the "beep" sounds of radio have been heard. The staff kept coming and going to and from the command center and information center, analyzing various intelligences and various orders from the empire.
The army troops retreating from the Mesopotamia did not come here, but went directly to Mingzhou. As a task to defend the imperial territory of the Nanyang region, most of them had been arranged in Chittagong, and only the Marine Corps Army remained on the island.
In the command hall, Song Ke, commander of the Land and Naval War Army Group, was smoking a cigarette. He didn't know when he had become indifferent. Beside him, Guo Yaofeng, commander of the Yingzhou Fleet, and Luo Xingzhi, commander of the frontline Air Force, were indifferent.
The wide command center was shrouded in smoke by a group of people, and their faces were faintly visible in the smoke.
"Two, the Ministry of National Defense has issued an order. What do you think? How can we retreat safely?" Song Ke said, bounced off the ashes.
"How to retreat? Such a large-scale retreat of troops will definitely be discovered by monsters. Do you still want to enter the footsteps of the Two Rivers battlefield?" Guo Yaofeng said a little annoyed. His subordinates have suffered a lot in recent times. Although the empire has been replenishing troops to the front line, sacrifice is a sacrifice after all, and he will not be indifferent because the number of subordinates has not changed. He is a person with flesh and blood, not wood.
"What should I do? Retreat is necessary. His Majesty's direct order, maybe he already has a better way."
Luo Xingzhi also had a sad face, and his face was very pale. The continuous consumption made him, the front-line commander, almost unable to hold on.
"I don't want to see the warriors fight for the last bit of strength with the monsters for the sake of the rear. It's unfair to them."
Song Ke tried hard to squeeze the cigarette butt in the ashtray, and said without raising his head.
His words made the other two silent, but the lessons of the past are still there. The sacrifices made by the empire for the retreat of the army in the Mesopotamia were too great, which made them feel heartbroken now.
"No matter how you prepare for retreat, you must make it. Maintaining this flesh-and-blood mill for a day requires countless soldiers to sacrifice. If it is the previous strategy, we must stick to it no matter how hard or tired we are. But the sudden order to retreat made me suddenly confused and a little glad, thanking that the soldiers will no longer fill their lives in this huge pit."
Luo Xingzhi's voice gradually increased, and he was breathless with the huge pressure on his back every day. If such days continued, he really doubted that he would fall on his post at some point in the future.
"Preparation requires preparation. Since the order was issued, the staff have been planning all the time, and the Ministry of Defense is the same, but so far there is no effective solution to allow us to retreat safely. Do you still understand? According to the current situation, we should not think of a retreat without any damage. It is unrealistic. We must sacrifice, just like the retreat plan on the battlefield of the Two Rivers."
All three of them knew this cruel reality, but they were unwilling to accept it or admit it. Only Song Ke, who was forced to do so, said it directly.
But who will cut off the rear? None of them could answer the answer, and they could not make this decision, because no matter who cuts off the rear, it would be unfair to them.
Perhaps the Marine Corps Army can retreat in the first batch, but the Air Force and the Navy's broken rear troops are definitely needed. Monsters cannot cross the vast sea and attack directly. The only way they want to hold the imperial army is the Air Force.
You can imagine how huge the enemy's fighter jets would be at that time, and perhaps it would be far more than the number at the Two Rivers battlefield.
The troops that left behind were destined to be destructive and had no other choice.
"Let the Ministry of Defense issue this order. I can't give up my subordinates and retreat alone!" Luo Xingzhi took the lead in expressing his thoughts. If the other two commanders made this suggestion, they still need to be considered, but if it were him, it might be appropriate. The Empire clearly knows what kind of huge pressure he has been carrying during this period, and it is impossible and unbearable to denounce him.
The order that millions of soldiers stayed in Madagascar was to defend at all costs. If they had the opportunity, they would attack and keep the monsters from the local area. The sudden retreat order would not be the soldiers below. Even the three commanders were caught off guard. They had already made plans to sacrifice themselves here. At this time, they were afraid that the soldiers were stoked by the warriors would be vented by this order.
Morale is sometimes very subtle. As long as the superiors are not careful in command, serious consequences will be caused. Every day, the sacrificed soldiers over the strait support the battle with this energy.
