In the northwest of the icy empire, where the temperature has warmed up, there are bunkers made of reinforced concrete standing on the cliffs. The dwarves here have carefully built defense lines, and the quality is much higher than those in Dorne.
The jeeps parked next to the position formed a line. Today, the top military commander in charge of this line of defense came to inspect, and everyone seemed nervous.
Compared to the corrupted Dorne, the Ice Empire is undoubtedly relatively normal. The dwarves have gained large tracts of land in past wars, and the places they have integrated are much easier to manage than the places Dorne annexed.
The dwarves were relatively united to begin with, and after being annexed, these dwarves were willing to obey the orders of Ironforge. If the Tang Empire hadn't caused trouble, the dwarves might have gone south, annexed the elven empire, and started their own path to hegemony.
"Stand at attention!" Moss led his staff and adjutants as they walked in the trench. The trench had been reinforced with cement and looked very neat.
The entire defense line has been reinforced, and even the defense thickness of some bunkers can withstand frontal bombardment from 350 mm caliber artillery shells.
"We must be doubly careful. Humanity's expansion conspiracy has not stopped. They must be planning to attack the Eastern Continent, either Dorne or us." Although he is only less than 1.6 meters tall, Moss, the famous general of the Ice Empire, has an imposing manner.
Still very sufficient.
He is wearing a military uniform modified by the dwarves themselves, with a red collar badge on the stand-up collar. This military uniform is very unique. Its military boots are shorter than those of other countries, and they follow the traditional design of the dwarves. They are straight boots with no outer boots.
Any decorative items such as shoelaces.
The dwarves built a large number of defense facilities in the northwest area of Everwinter City. This area now has a special name, called the Northwest Fortification Zone. The Tang Empire called this the fortification area, and the dwarves called it the Iron Barrier.
The coastal defense line of the Lions Empire is called the Endless Barrier, the dwarf defense line is called the Iron Barrier, the Poplar Empire's coastal defense line is called the Forest Barrier, and Dorne's defense line is called the Southern Barrier... Everyone seems to like to use the word barrier, as if they have used it.
After the word, there is an increase in solidity.
It's a pity that there are almost no defensive barriers in the Tang Empire, and most of them are famous but not famous scenic spots...
Moss has been supervising this hugely expensive fortified area for almost his entire life, witnessing its development from scratch, from scrawry to refinement.
On a huge foundation in the distance, a triple 380 mm caliber heavy gun turret can even rotate 360 degrees. Its armor is more than one meter thick, and the top cover is also covered with cement and added camouflage.
Ever since they knew that battleships were of little use, various countries have tried their best to recycle the scrap reserves. The most direct way is to use the spare turrets and spare barrels that have been produced on the coastal defense line.
Now our battleships have actually undergone some modifications: an extra layer of steel plates has been added to both sides, supported by iron rods and hung on the outside of the hull. Experiments have shown that this can increase the resistance of the main armor belt to penetration.
The areas near the bridge have also been modified in the same way, and some even use cement and the like to fill them. It is almost a beggar's version of composite armor, and it can indeed play a certain role.
Even so, countries are not confident about the safety of their battleships, and they dare not put their treasure on navies with backward technology.
Therefore, similar "land-based battleship turrets" have become a fashion: everyone has deployed such weapons on the coastline. Both the rate of fire and the power are much more powerful than army artillery.
After all, under the heavy cement-reinforced base, there is a complete set of ammunition supply mechanisms that can allow this turret to fire a shell at a rate of one shell every two to three minutes. If it really works, the effect of suppressing the beach will be absolutely terrifying.
Moss walked into a temporary command post. There was 5 meters of reinforced concrete above his head. This thickness made people feel more at ease, and this command post was just an ordinary temporary command post on the battlefield.
All such headquarters have tunnels or traffic trenches connected to the main defense underground passages, and are equipped with fixed telephones.
These headquarters have good visibility and can even temporarily store ammunition and casualties, making them very convenient to use.
Moss walked to the floor plan of the nearby tunnels, trenches and ammunition depot hanging on the command post, nodded with satisfaction, and said to his entourage: "From a distance perspective, we are the most dangerous one. The Tang Dynasty's reconnaissance planes can fly to us.
overhead, but their land-based planes can't fly to Dorne."
He has always emphasized this point of view, because in his opinion, the Tang State's air force is super powerful and is often used as a stepping stone, and the northwest area of the Ice Empire within the strike radius of the opponent's land-based fighter planes is actually very dangerous.
As a soldier and a general, he does not take chances at all. As a famous general in the Dwarf Empire, Moss has a very keen sense of smell: "If I were the army commander of the Tang State, I would seriously consider starting from the northern end of the Eastern Continent.
An attack plan so that I can get strong support from paratroopers and bombers during the landing operation."
The paratroopers of the Tang State are no longer a secret weapon. In the latest airborne battle, the Tang Army used paratroopers to directly disrupt the Qin Army in Jutian and other places, defeated the Qin Army in the Shanchong area in one fell swoop, and directly entered Shu.
With the cooperation of paratroopers, the Tang Army's armored group's rapid advance brought a huge shock to Moss, or to commanders in many countries.
The cover of the superior air force, the interference of paratroopers, and the assault of the heavy armored group were simply a classic. The blitz effect that everyone dreamed of was realized by the Tang army.
You know, in the past, everyone was still studying position breakthrough operations, and they all thought that there was no particularly good method in fortified areas.
The Tang Empire directly taught everyone a lesson, and Moss also became more and more wary of the Tang Army's paratroopers from these battles.
Not only were they paratroopers, he was also very concerned about one detail: during the Battle of Anqing, the Tang Empire actually raided the Qin Army headquarters and captured Ying'an, the then commander-in-chief of the Qin Army.
This incident made Moss very nervous. He felt that the Tang Army should have a very elite force in its hands, elite enough to perform some impossible tasks.
Although the intelligence department of the Bingbing Empire believes that the reason why the Tang Army was able to capture Ying'an was largely due to the cooperation of local rebels, and the replicability is not great, Moss still feels that one should be wary of the Tang Army's "special
