Ming Zuo

Chapter 1728
In the brutal Western Regions, the Fifth Division thoroughly demonstrated the incomparably powerful side of the National Defense Forces and dealt the enemy the most desperate blow.

The infantry formations like mountains, forests, and walls rolled forward, and any obstacles were wiped out in front of the steel storm.

Not to mention the Yarkand people, even the Liang army was frightened.

"Brother, fortunately we didn't fight to the end."

Zhao Silie swallowed his saliva, watched the fifth division trample the Yarkand army to death, and rushed forward step by step.What I thought in my mind was, what would happen if I was the one fighting against such an army?
Just thinking about it for a moment made him shudder.

Liang Yue was even more so.

Only now did he understand that when he faced the National Defense Forces in the past, they kept their hands.

If the firepower is really fully fired, let alone escape to the Western Regions, he may not be able to escape from Shaanxi.

Although Zuo Menggeng was lenient to him, and although the National Defense Forces had provided him with a lot of help, in Liang Yue's mind, he always had a grudge against Zuo Menggeng and the empire.

It wasn't until this moment that Liang Yue's stubborn heart began to melt.

The firepower of the Fifth Division has been projected to the Yarkand people who besieged the Liang army.

The attack speed of the Fifth Division was too fast.

No one expected that Abdullah would not hold back even an hour when he made the move himself.

The Fifth Division hardly stopped in its tracks, and it was as if they came over smoothly.

This made the Yarkand people who besieged the Liang army unprepared, and immediately collapsed under the violent bullet rain.

They lost their minds and were exhausted. Their weapons and equipment were not comparable to those of the National Defense Forces, and there was a Liang army attacking behind them.

Escaping became the only option for the Yarkand people.

They need to flee back to Ili to see if there is a way to get back together.

If you don't arrive, then go back to Fergan.

On the flat land, the Yarkand people resorted to all means to escape.

The cavalry no longer cared about their horsepower, and they fought desperately, regardless of whether the people in front were their own.

Anyone who gets in the way deserves to die!
For a while, people and horses trampled on each other, and the casualties were almost the same as those of the National Defense Forces.

Those without horses can only rely on their own two legs, or seize the opportunity to snatch other people's horses or camels.

If you have heavy things on your body, throw them all away.

If it weren't for throwing away their clothes, they would probably freeze to death, and they even felt that clothes were a burden.

The battle turned into a chase.

Liang Jun also recovered and joined the hunting team.

In this battle, too many Liang troops fell.

All those who were still alive were blinded by hatred, and they did not hesitate to kill the Yarkand people.

The fifth division didn't care about what the Liang army did, as long as they didn't come over and disrupt their formation.

The fifth division did not speed up, and kept advancing at its own pace.

That stable appearance is as convincing as the majestic Tianshan Mountain.

Only such power can conquer the Western Regions.

When night falls, there is only the bloody smell left between the heaven and the earth, which also indicates that there is no longer any suspense about the outcome.

Of the more than 20 Yarkands, only [-] to [-] escaped in the end.And how many of them are disabled is still unknown.

All in all, the Yarkand people have completely lost their vitality, and it is impossible to become an opponent to stop the National Defense Forces.

Ma Shihua and others also met Liang Yue and others.

"Thank you, King Liang, for giving up his life to lure the enemy, so that today's victory is possible. I will report your achievements truthfully. The honor and rewards belonging to your army will definitely not be missing."

Liang Yue and the others looked very embarrassed, they looked like beggars.

On the opposite side of them, Ma Shihua and others were all in neat military uniforms, spotless.

No way, senior military officers are rarely on the front line.

Today's National Defense Forces are very clear that excellent command and overall planning are what senior generals should do.

But such a comparison made Liang Yue and the others recognize the gap between them even more.

"Is there anything to eat? Many of our brothers have been injured..."

Liang Yue has already reversed his mentality, and it is very natural to ask for help.

Before he could finish speaking, Ma Shihua said: "The supplies have been prepared for you, and all the wounded will be sent to the field hospital immediately."

With the help of the fifth division, the battlefield was cleaned quickly.

Carload after cartload of supplies were sent to the Liang army camp. Rice, flour, grain, oil, tea, salt, meat and vegetables were all available, and the amount was dizzying.

After the battle, the soldiers of the Liang army saw so many things, their eyes were straightened.

Although they started to receive supplies from the Wehrmacht very early, it was still too shocking to give so much at once.

Ma Shihua was very caring, and even sent a cook to cook for the Liang army himself, so that they could eat delicious food in the shortest possible time.

When the supply of spirits was not restricted, the morale in Liang's barracks quickly recovered, and laughter reappeared.

The wounded soldiers of the Liang Army have also been well placed in the field hospital.

Liang Yue and the others walked around the field hospital and thoroughly recognized the gap between them.

How can an army defeat such a level of medical treatment?

"Master Ma, I wonder if our soldiers can accept your advice?"

Ma Shihua was taken aback for a moment, then overjoyed.

When he was sent to cooperate with the Liang army, he was warned that Liang Yue was a bit stubborn.

Unexpectedly, this person actually began to accept everything in the empire.

"Of course you can. Your army has made great contributions to the country's expansion of the territory. It is a great hero, and there are many talents. I will immediately report to the superior to explain this matter."

Seeing that the National Defense Army also opened up their hearts happily, Liang Yue showed a rare smile.

He doesn't care about his future, if he can find a good future for his brothers, he will be satisfied.

The Yarkand people who escaped will not be too lucky.

Because the Yili they were going to had already been broken through the city wall by the fifth division at this moment.

"kill!"

Although there is only one regiment, there are only more than 1000 defenders in Yili!

Moreover, the city walls made of yellow sand and mud are no different from those made of paper.

Not to mention rifles, even mortars can blow up.

Liao Fengzhi slapped his whip in his hand, followed the soldiers into Ili.

The fighting in the city has subsided.

Except for a very few who escaped, the rest were either killed in battle or captured.

Liao Fengzhi was not very proud of conquering an important town in the Western Regions, he was looking at the surrounding environment.

"This place is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there is a big river in the middle. The westerly wind brings warmth. It is really a rare fertile soil. If you control this place, the Western Regions can rest easy."

The senior generals of the National Defense Forces still have this strategic vision.

The battle report from the Western Regions was sent to the center, and Zuo Menggeng's attitude verified Liao Fengzhi's opinion.

"Changing Ili to Xijing, who would like to take a trip?"

When everyone heard this, their last doubts finally fell to the ground.

At the beginning, it was decided to establish the system of five capitals and four capitals, and the remaining three capitals have been released successively. Only where Xijing will be is left to speculation.

Choosing Ili to control the Western Regions and enter Central Asia is absolutely in line with the empire's strategic plan.
