On Hill 912, a Constitutional Army infantry regiment is stationed here.
There is a mountain road at the bottom of the hillside, but not a single person has appeared on this mountain road for a month.
Werewolves will not take this mountain road. Werewolves don't need roads, and neither hillsides nor cliffs can stop them.
This is already the third infantry regiment on Highland 912. The first two infantry regiments have been wiped out by werewolves. This highland has changed hands several times and is now back in the hands of the Constitutional Army.
Captain Luke turned his head and looked at the sky. The airship in the sky was the source of his courage. The poor terrain of the Luberon Mountains made it very difficult to transport artillery. Large artillery could not be pushed up at all. Only airships could carry the power.
Amazing artillery, only airships can provide fire support to various highlands in complex mountainous terrain.
Fortunately for the leader, the werewolves and the vampires were feuding in the wilderness. If the vampires also attacked West Elba, the advantage of the airship would be greatly reduced.
"Cheer up! The airship will bring us food and water in another hour. By then, the werewolves may launch an attack and interrupt our supplies! Fight off the next wave of wolves so that we can have a hot meal.
"
The infantry regiment's supplies were delivered by airship. They did not dare to fight werewolves in the mountains without leaving the fortifications. That would be simply courting death.
It would be great if there were cavalry. Luke's infantry regiment was transferred from the Eastern Front battlefield. The Unicorn Knights seen on the Eastern Front battlefield have extremely strong maneuverability. That cavalry regiment will definitely be able to fight in mobile warfare.
Defeat the werewolf horde.
It's a pity that they are enemies. The noble knights always want to turn everyone into their personal servants, which makes the citizens who are used to freedom very annoyed.
Luke walked towards the artillery position of the highland stronghold. This position was equipped with a level 7 alchemical cannon, capable of firing level 7 alchemical artillery shells. This main gun was the key to their ability to hold on.
Once a level 7 werewolf tribe appears, this artillery can fire precious level 7 alchemy shells into the center of the werewolf tribe, delaying the attack of the level 7 werewolf tribe.
The sound of the level 7 alchemical artillery is very special. There is a sound-producing device designed on the barrel. The hot air waves created by the gunpowder will enter a whistle and make a very sharp sound, proving that they have encountered a level 7 werewolf in their position.
The airship patrolling behind will rush over immediately, and then use the level 7 alchemy rocket on the airship to kill the level 7 werewolf.
Even a level 7 werewolf tribe with 50,000 werewolves cannot withstand the saturation attack of alchemical weapons.
Luke felt a little panicked when he saw that this level 7 main gun only had the last three shells left.
I don’t know if the rear can handle this kind of ammunition consumption. It takes one day’s output of a medium-sized iron mine to extract the refined iron required for a level 7 alchemical cannonball.
People in the Logistics Department said that more than 70% of the factories in the rear have been turned into arsenals, and all arsenals are manufacturing weapons and artillery in three shifts day and night.
After Luke inspected the main gun, he came to the place where the werewolves were confined.
The infantry regiment has been keeping a few werewolves in captivity. These werewolves are very skinny. This is Luke's special way to boost morale. Luke repeatedly explained to the soldiers that they should not be afraid of the large number of werewolves. Although the wolf tide is fierce, they are also deadly.
The problem is supply.
Werewolves eat a lot of meat every day. Meat is no better than wheat, oats and other grains. Wheat and oats can be grown on a large scale. Alchemists have developed various chemical fertilizers, phosphate fertilizers, nitrogen fertilizers, potassium fertilizers, etc., which can increase production. Werewolves' food is meat.
class, they simply don’t have that many supplies.
Stupid werewolves have occupied the wilderness for thousands of years, and there is only simple animal husbandry, which is an industry only among high-level werewolf tribes. Most werewolves will only attack wild animals like wild beasts.
There are 50,000 werewolves in a level 7 werewolf tribe. These werewolves need a huge amount of meat every day. Luke deliberately imprisoned the skinny werewolves to prove to the soldiers that the werewolves in the wolf tide did not have enough to eat at all.
If the wolf tide cannot advance as quickly as the locust plague, plunder and kill as quickly as possible, a large number of werewolves will fall into hunger and their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
In the early days, Commander Stein organized several blocking battles and killed two level 8 werewolves in succession, but the wolf tide could no longer pick up speed.
Alchemists can become the masters of most of the continent. Although the knights have been restored recently, the United States of several alchemists is the richest, most abundant, and most powerful country in the continent.
Luke often joked with the soldiers that the wolf tide sounded fierce, but in front of the main force of the Constitutional Army, they had to stop when they should. They couldn't move at all. Where could they move?
The frequency of werewolf attacks has decreased because the werewolf tribe had to send a large number of werewolves to hunt for food for the large army, and the livestock brought by the werewolf livestock farms were simply not enough for them to eat.
Captain Luke explained the operating principles behind these wars to his soldiers, asking his soldiers not to despair and not to be frightened by tens of thousands of werewolves. As long as they persist, they can defeat the werewolves, and tens of millions of werewolves will come again.
No matter what, it will be dragged down sooner or later.
Of course, what Luke did not say was that his infantry regiment had defended three waves of werewolf attacks in a row, so he dared to beautify the war situation with his soldiers.
In fact, many highlands have been overrun by werewolves, and the Constitutional Army's battle lines have been retreating. There are millions of werewolves in the Luberon Mountains. No matter how efficient the weapons of the Constitutional Army are, they cannot defeat so many werewolves.
Advantage.
When the battle line is completely torn apart, and when these millions of werewolves are spread into the mountains of the Luberon Mountains, the Constitutional Army will also collapse. The scattered werewolf tribes, large and small, will instantly defeat all the Luberon Region.
order.
Even if two level 8 werewolves were lost, and even if hundreds of thousands of werewolves died in the artillery fire of the Constitutional Army, the werewolves were not very anxious. Their werewolves were worthless. As long as the Luberon region was captured, the number of werewolves would increase rapidly.
Return to your peak.
With a kind smile on his face, Luke inspected the wounded soldiers' tent and told them that the airship would send them to the rear as soon as it arrived.
After coming out of the tent, Luke finished his inspection this morning and walked towards his command tent.
As soon as he entered the command tent, his expression immediately turned grim. He persuaded the soldiers with one set of words, but deep down in his heart, he had another judgment on the trend of the war.
Without the help of the Carolingian Constitutional Army or other forces, the Luberon region cannot be defended.
He closed his eyes in pain, then stood up with force and came to the map on the side. The map showed the distribution of troops in the wolf tide and surrounding highlands.
What Luke didn't know was that there was another person standing next to him, and the other person was also looking up at the map.
