The soldier subconsciously waved his arms to try and struggle, but he found that he had lost all his strength almost instantly. He could see the tip of the knife on his chest re-entering his body, and then saw it protruding from another position...
…
Immediately afterwards, he fell to the ground. The cold ground was wet, probably from his blood. He felt like he was being dragged for a few steps, and then he didn't know anything else.
In the general headquarters of the Ice Empire, Moss grabbed the phone and reported the situation on the front line to His Majesty the Emperor who was far away in the imperial capital: "Yes, Your Majesty, the Tang Army's air strikes were much stronger than we expected, and many of our facilities were destroyed.
But... However, everything is still within the bearable range. Yes, yes, Your Majesty... I am waiting for the Tang Army's air raid to end, and the troops deployed on the second line are waiting for their paratroopers."
"Long live my emperor!" After hanging up the phone, Moss looked at the waiting adjutant and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Report to the general, there are new changes on the battlefield." The adjutant reported nervously: "The Tang army dispatched warships and began to bombard the coastal defenses... This has never happened in previous battles."
As he spoke, he pointed on the map: "Here, and here, the opponent used large-caliber artillery, probably a battleship."
Two points? Moss looked at the place pointed by the adjutant. He didn't know why Tang Jun chose these two points to attack. Could it be that he wanted to focus on attacking these two places tomorrow morning?
Of course, he could not have guessed that the Tang State's warships concentrated their artillery fire on these two positions in order to block the possible movement of the dwarf coastal defense troops and ensure the safety of the Tang Army's special forces in the middle of these two points.
"General, the large warships of the Tang Dynasty are approaching and are firing. Do we want to fight back?" the adjutant asked tentatively.
Moss touched his eyebrows and fell into thinking: He couldn't decide whether to join the speedboat force to counterattack.
Night torpedo boats are still very effective in offshore waters. They are fast and do not need to get close to attack. As long as they throw the torpedoes far away, the opponent's warships, which are almost parked in order to ensure the accuracy of the bombardment, will definitely suffer.
But he hoped that the little power he had could be used on the Tang Army's aircraft carriers: if a miracle really happened and several Tang Army aircraft carriers were sunk, the situation in the war would be turned around immediately.
Patting his cheek with his hand, Moss knew that one must not be too greedy. The opponent's aircraft carrier fleet is of course the most valuable, but it is not easy to reveal flaws. Sometimes it is enough to get a little advantage, but you can't want everything.
.
After thinking about it, he rubbed his hands on his face, rubbed his eyes, and decisively ordered: "Let the speedboat troops attack! The submarine troops also join the battle! Attack the southernmost Tang Army fleet at all costs!
"
"Don't hesitate! Use up all the torpedoes you carry! Even if you can't sink the enemy ship, you must force the enemy ship to give up and continue bombarding our coastal positions!" He said and looked at the map, looking at the shelled position to the south.
.
No matter what Tang Jun wanted to do, he should try to stop the opponent. It had been going on for almost half the night, and Tang Jun's three-axe made no movement after only the first blow. Such an abnormal situation made Moss jump
Become increasingly vigilant.
He felt that he had to do something to disrupt Tang Jun's deployment. After all, if everything went according to Tang Jun's script, he would only become more and more passive.
On the dark sea, the dwarf torpedo boat troops, who had escaped disaster by hiding in hidden bunkers during the day, began to take action. They started their engines and rushed towards the Tang fleet hundreds of kilometers away.
With their high speed, these torpedo boats can be deployed 200 kilometers away from the battlefield: it only takes two or three hours for them to arrive at the combat zone, which is a major advantage for them.
In comparison, ordinary warships do not have such a flexible deployment method: if they are deployed too far away, they will not be able to reach the battlefield in time, and if they are deployed too close, they will be easily destroyed by air strikes.
After issuing the order to attack the speedboat, Moss's uneasiness became more intense. He looked at his watch and saw that it was almost 3 o'clock in the morning. Logically speaking, the Tang Army's airborne troops should be about to parachute.
But he didn't know whether the other party would come, how much he would come, how he would come... Waiting was the most irritating thing, and Moss felt that he was becoming more and more anxious and suspicious.
When he walked to the phone, he grabbed the phone and ordered: "Get me the No. 5 position!" The No. 5 position he mentioned was the position between the two artillery positions of the Tang Army.
Moss was still a little worried. He felt that he should remind the defenders here that the Tang Army was likely to land on both sides of Position 5 during the day tomorrow and focus on attacking the dwarf garrison in Position 5.
"Unable to get through, General." On the other side of the phone, the operator reported the situation with some embarrassment: "Maybe the air raid blew up the phone line."
Tonight, there are many places where calls cannot be made. Some of them are because the other party is using the phone, and some of them are because of the Tang Army's bombing, which really damaged some infrastructure.
However, although there are many such situations, for Moss, who has already become suspicious, the fact that the phone number at Position 5 cannot be reached seems to have explained a lot of problems.
Even from the most reassuring point of view, it is already very dangerous to blow up the telephone line of Position 5, prevent Position 5 from calling for help, and delay the speed of reinforcements from the Ice Empire.
So Moss immediately looked at the adjutant and ordered: "Send the signal troops immediately to send the message to Position 5! Remind them that the phone line has been cut off, and the Tang Army is likely to land where they are..."
Having said this, Moss seemed to realize something. He looked at the two Tang Army artillery points that had just been marked with red pen on the map, and became furious: "Asshole! They may have started to land!"
As he spoke, he grabbed the phone and gave a loud order: "Hello! I'm General Moss! Get me the 2nd line and No. 5 position! Immediately! Quick! Hello! I'm Moss! Send the reserve team out immediately.
!Enter front-line position No. 5! If the Tang Army is attacking there, you will hold the position as reinforcements. If the Tang Army is not attacking, then you will also stay there and wait for new orders!"
"Yes!" On the other side of the phone, the dwarf officer who heard the seriousness of the situation agreed immediately. After hanging up the phone, he ordered the officer on duty: "Assemble the 340th Regiment who are on standby to rest immediately! Enter the front-line position No. 5
