Chapter 1509 Progress on the Western Front
They have all come to the Northwest Industrial Area. After returning to Golden Port, Qu Mao directly told Christine Sirian that the next stop will be West Port of the Principality of Pengda. After all, he has already come here, so he definitely needs to take a look. Concrete advances on the Western Front.
In August of the 15th year of Tianxuan, after Qu Mao returned from the branch territory of Taiji Village, he went directly to the Western Front to convene a meeting with the members of the Military Committee of the Western Front and urged the committee of the Military Committee of the Western Front to speed up the strategy of the Western Front. .
Now that nearly two months have passed, there should be some progress and results.
Christine Sirian was interested in matters outside the ironclad ship for the first time, and did not question Qu Mao's decision.
On October 23rd, the fifteenth year of Tianxuan, after Qu Mao left Golden Port, he did not directly return to the Holy Land of Emperor Yi, but went directly to Westport of Pengda Principality, which was only half a day's sea voyage from Golden Port.
After arriving in Westport, Qu Mao asked Christine Sirian to wait for him in Westport for a week, while he rushed towards the King City of Duke Pengda under the **** of the fifth-rank court guards. Naturally, go to the front line to find Chafidel, who is in command of the battle.
Christine Sirian is obviously more eager to stay in Westport, because there are a large number of naval heroes stationed here in Westport. As one of the deputy commanders-in-chief of the navy, Christine Sirian has long been in charge of traditional warships in the Holy Land The job of modifying the artillery was finally handed over to Justin Smith, but it was a pity that Christine Sirian had to be in charge of the production of the ironclad ship.
Knowing that Qu Mao was going to leave for about a week, Christine Sirian communicated with other naval heroes in Westport for less than an hour, and immediately changed warships and soldiers, leading a fleet of 11 super warships to Sailing to the sea to the west.
As for whether Christine Sirian will meet the support fleet sent by God's Choice Alliance in the Central Continent to support the Principality of Pengda within this week, only God knows.
Now the Central Continent’s God’s Choice Alliance sends fewer and fewer support fleets to the Eastern Continent to reinforce the Principality of Pengda, and the probability is infinitely low for Christine Sirian to successfully fight a naval battle within a week.
On October 25th, the fifteenth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao met Chafidel in a town about 300 kilometers away from the King's City of Peng Dagong. This town had obviously been captured for a long time, but on the street It is almost impossible to meet the aborigines of the Principality of Pengda, and most of them are fighters from various troops in the territory of Emperor Yi.
Seeing Chafidel, Qu Mao didn't show any politeness, and asked, "Chafidel, how has the progress on the Western Front been in the past two months?"
Chafidel said: "My lord, in the past two months, the advancement on the Western Front has been considered as fast as compared to the past two years. After all, the advance in the direction of the royal city has been almost 50 kilometers in the past two months.
In the past two years, the distance we have approached to Wangcheng is only about 50 kilometers. This 50 kilometers is not under this line, but has been pushed inward by more than 50 kilometers in all directions. "
Qu Mao nodded, and said: "Well, compared with the past two years, it has indeed made great progress. It has advanced 50 kilometers in two months, and there are still 300 kilometers left, which happens to be a year.
Because of speeding up the attack speed, how much did our soldiers lose? "
Zhaifidel shook his head helplessly, and said: "My lord, you want to pursue the speed of advance on the Western Front while not wanting casualties of soldiers, how can you do it?
In the past two months, as many as 20,000 soldiers have been killed in battle, and more than 50,000 soldiers have retired due to injuries, adding up to nearly 80,000 soldiers. "
Qu Mao nodded helplessly, and said, "Zafidel, I understand this truth.
The battle on the Western Front must end as soon as possible, and at the same time, the heroes must try their best to protect the lives of the soldiers. From the very beginning, our Yidi territory has cherished the lives of the soldiers. "
Chafidel said: "Yes, my lord!
Please don’t worry, my lord, the subordinates are also early Yi Emperor’s territory fighters, not born heroes, we cherish the lives of soldiers no worse than you, my lord.
Now the excellent fighters we lead are all the exclusive troops of our Emperor Yi's territory. The subordinates naturally regard the lives of these fighters as more important than their own lives. The subordinates believe in other military heroes, the same as the subordinates.
My lord, there is no need for you to be too sad. Your subordinates will advance the battle smoothly. Please don’t worry about it. After the war is over, the soldiers will naturally have no more casualties. "
Qu Mao nodded, no longer put pressure on Chafidel, but turned to inspect the newly captured town, and even Qu Mao went to the frontline battlefield in person, summoning Hou Yi, Xiang Yu and A Ke to join the battle.
After staying in Chafidel's position for three days, Qu Mao left the position and walked towards Westport.
The Western Front now has an advantage in all aspects of Emperor Yi's territory, but the soldiers and civilians of the Principality of Pengda resisted more resolutely. Most of the casualties of soldiers in Emperor Yi's territory happened when the battle ended and the towns or positions were occupied.
Qu Mao can even guarantee that Li Pengda, the lord of the Principality of Pengda, has no chance of making a comeback. The army of Emperor Yi's territory has completely occupied the advantage on the western front. Now the Principality of Pengda is just struggling.
But under the attack of artillery, mortars, submachine guns, machine guns, muskets, and grenades, the soldiers of Pengda Principality, who only have mines, Qu Mao probably will have a mental breakdown sooner or later.
On the way back to Westport, Qu Mao predicted that the battle on the western front would probably take less than a year as he estimated, and it would probably end in half a year at most. The weapons of each army are denser and more intense.
Since there is still half a year left, Qu Mao thought that now it is the end of the 15th year of Tianxuan, and another year-end summary meeting for the 15th year of Tianxuan will be held.
Since returning to the Holy Land in early June to deal with the establishment of the Taiji Village branch territory, Qu Mao has been away from the Shaliuhou Kingdom and Fenghuahou Kingdom for a long time.
The branch territory of Taiji Village must go again before the year-end summary meeting is held, and Shaliuhou Country and Fenghuahou Country must also go there, at least they must be notified to come back for the meeting.
On the contrary, in Peiquanhou Kingdom and Liedehou Kingdom, after Qu Mao came back from the branch territory of Taiji Village, and before going to the Western Front for a meeting, he took a quick walk.
