Chapter 2174: The army gets on board and the core is evacuated
Late at night, it was past 10 o'clock.
All the forces gathered outside the Port of Lukou began to launch a general attack and advanced towards the coastline of Lukou.
The attack route of the coalition forces this time is no different from before. It is the Sichuan Prefecture and Liu Weiren teaming together, the Feng Group and the He Group join together, and the troops are divided into two groups and move forward.
During the annihilation battle, the sound of cannons in the mountains and the smoke of gunpowder was filled with the highway line. The fighting will of the periphery sinking troops that had been trapped for several days had long been exhausted. Many small troops were blocked and basically did not resist and chose to surrender. Because even if the warships in District 7 came, they would definitely not be the first people to board the ship. If they resisted stubbornly, they would be wiped out.
As the saying goes, the defeat is like a mountain. I think of how powerful the Qin Dynasty was at the beginning. However, since the Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprising, Liu Bang led a large army to capture Xianyang in less than two years. Now, the Shensha Corps, which was still very prosperous a few months ago, is struggling at the end like a trapped beast.
...
After more than ten hours of fierce fighting between the two sides, almost all the main forces of the Shen Group's Corps were cleaned up. Guangchuan Prefecture and Liu Weiren defeated at least seven or eight thousand troops and captured five or six thousand prisoners.
At this moment, the Shensha Corps was squeezed into a very narrow military activity area at the brigade entrance. The remaining 60,000 to 70,000 main forces were all stationed at about 100 kilometers away from the Port of Rukou. When the coalition advanced to the periphery here, it also found that the remaining defenders were very stubborn, and they were the troops loyal to Chen Wanzhou and Sha Zhongchang. Many of the generals of each combat unit were surnamed Sha and Chen, so it was obviously very difficult for the coalition forces to make them surrender without fighting.
Near the Port of Rukou, inside the camp of the Shen Army Corps.
A colonel said to Chen Wanzhou with a slightly tired expression: "Commander, the troops of Sichuan Mansion are very good at fighting mountain wars. They infiltrate very quickly. Our defensive team at three o'clock will probably not last long."
Chen Wanzhou pondered for a while, turned around and looked at him and asked, "Have the fleet in District 7 arrived?"
"At a frigate, a transport ship." The colonel said quickly: "Deputy Commander Sha has asked the core troops and generals to board the ship first, and there is no way for the coalition forces to take sea combat units, so they did not penetrate into the port."
Chen Wanzhou fell silent thoughtfully.
"Although the troops that are tens of thousands have no fighting spirit or spirit, they can't catch them even if they stand still and let the coalition forces catch them in three days." The colonel continued: "So, we can still get a certain amount of evacuation time."
Chen Wanzhou paused for a while and immediately shouted: "Let Bai Hongbo, Xu Yiming, Li Zheng...they come over for a meeting immediately."
"Yes!" the colonel officer nodded.
Not far away, Chen Fei stood next to the door like a personal guard, looking at Chen Wanzhou expressionlessly, and didn't know what he was thinking.
...
About half an hour later.
Bai Hongbo, the commander of the Shen Group's First Army, as well as generals from the military headquarters, headquarters, and other combat units, all came to the conference room.
Chen Wanzhou stood in the first position with his waist straight, and said to everyone with a firm speech: "Everyone, the warships in District 7 have arrived. At present, the first batch of withdrawals from the sand system have boarded the ship, so I now officially order to lift the defensive combat missions of your troops, officially move closer to the inward port, and retreat according to batches."
After speaking, more than 20 core generals and officers in the room stood up.
Some of these people are old generals who have been famous in the military and political circles for many years. They are dressed in military uniforms and are covered with medals.
Some of these people are still very young, and they are extremely talented and could have become the hope of the future of the Shensha Corps.
But at a moment, whether older or young, they all stood up and shouted in an extremely neat manner: "Report to the commander-in-chief, we will not withdraw! Fight to the death, and swear to live and die with the command!"
If Chen Wanzhou did not have a certain personal charm, could he reach this point today?
The generals in the house may not have much say in terms of political development and political tendencies. Whether the Shen faction sells the country or sells the interests of the people actually has nothing to do with them.
They are soldiers, they have enough loyalty, and that's enough.
Chen Wanzhou looked at them and felt very touched.
When the disaster came, I don’t know how many troops of the Shensha Corps had turned against each other, and what can be left behind now is enough to show their quality and loyalty.
Chen Wanzhou held the table with both hands and slowly glanced at everyone: "I am dead, and the Shen army may not disappear, but if you are gone, then we will become history. Everyone, I, Chen Wanzhou, have been honored to be able to fight with you side by side over the years and share honor and disgrace! I thank you!"
Chen Wanzhou bowed deeply, raised his arms and waved his hands: "If we meet again, if there is a next life, I will drink and chat with you all."
After saying that, Chen Wanzhou turned around and left.
The generals looked at Chen Wanzhou who had left decisively. After a long silence, they saluted his back.
The staff officer in charge of arranging the evacuation of the troops at the door came over and urged at a very fast speed: "Everyone prepare now, the first batch of ships will not be waiting for too long."
...
An hour later, all the core troops outside the Shen Corps retreated on a large scale, and core generals, officers, their families, and relatives of Shen Wanzhou all took the lead in boarding the ship.
At this moment, there are three troops left by Shen Wanzhou: the first is the headquarters guard regiment, the second is the headquarters' first field division directly under the headquarters, and there is also an uncomplicated 179th Mixed Brigade.
These three troops rushed to the front, took over the garrison area, and began to cover the evacuation of large troops along the coast.
Inside the headquarters conference room.
Chen Wanzhou sat on the chair, suddenly turned his head and looked at Chen Fei and asked, "Xiao Fei, I just talked to Staff Liu and the others. What do you think we are withdrawing troops in the direction of Zangyuan?"
Chen Fei was stunned for a moment: "Commander, have you made arrangements there?"
...
Songjiang, in the Feng family villa.
Feng Chengzhang sat on the sofa, rushing to the staff team and said, "It is definitely unrealistic to have tens of thousands of troops killed and arrested them all. Our main idea is to instigate troops that can be instigated as much as possible and enhance their own strength in the war."
"Yes, we did capture many prisoners and instigate many troops during the advancement along the line." A middle-aged man replied: "There are more than 10,000 people in total."
Feng Chengzhang nodded slowly: "From today, the Shensha Corps has become history."
"Dingling!"
A phone ringing rang, and a middle-aged man walked to Feng Chengzhang and whispered: "It's Commander Lu's phone number."
Feng Chengzhang took the phone: "Hey, Lao Lu?"
“When should I do it?”
