It's just that the order of hitting is a little different, and the intensity is completely different.
The use of precision-guided munitions in air strikes and bombings by the Dwarves was completely unexpected. So many precision-guided bombs completely rendered the Dwarves' solid defenses ineffective. Combined with ground-penetrating bombs and precision strikes, the effect was really shocking.
The landing troops did not expect the dwarves when they landed at night. The Tang army, which used night vision goggles extensively, had unprecedentedly powerful night fighting capabilities. The dwarves were caught off guard and lost a large number of positions.
The delay in the deployment of the airborne troops happened to avoid the time when the dwarves were paying more attention to them. The dwarf armored units that were originally intended to be used on the airborne troops had already been deployed to participate in the counterattack near the coastline before the paratroopers arrived.
Moss was completely stunned. It was almost dawn now. Once dawn, Tang Guo's attacks would only become more sharp.
He was worried that more Tang soldiers would come ashore. When the Tang army's strength exceeded 20,000, Moss estimated that he would not be able to easily drive the Tang army into the sea.
The good news is not without it. A fleet deployed by the Tang Army at the southernmost point to bombard the coast seemed to have been severely damaged by torpedo boat tactics. The returning speedboats brought back news that they had hit at least one cruiser and saw a battleship approaching.
Start a fire and burn.
The speedboat tactic is obviously not feasible during the day. The Tang Army will have more aircraft. If they continue to use speedboats for sneak attacks, the losses will skyrocket.
Moreover, the naval liaison officer also roughly analyzed the situation and expressed his opinion to Moss: The reason why the sneak attack was successful was largely because the Tang Army's fleet was relatively old.
According to the intelligence fed back by the speedboats, the Tang Army did not have many heavy-caliber rapid-fire cannons specifically designed to deal with speedboats. The remaining cannons on the warships had slow firing rates and poor accuracy, and did not pose any threat to them.
This means that the Tang Army fleet that suffered heavy losses in the attack is likely to be composed of some old fleets. Their mission is only to attack the ground and does not include sea combat. The sneak attack was successful entirely because this fleet was too close to the coastline.
Okay, it's just a bit of a one-sided attempt.
Under this analysis, Moss also calmed down and no longer pinned all his hopes on speedboat sneak attack tactics. Because in the eyes of professional naval commanders, there is no difference between using speedboats to sneak out to attack the Tang Army's aircraft carrier fleet during the day and risking death.
.
What they thought was indeed right, because the Tang Army had strengthened its patrols in the nearby waters, and several armed helicopters responsible for night operations had also taken off, focusing on the defense on the south side of the fleet.
With the participation of armed helicopters, it would no longer be possible for the dwarves to succeed in a sneak attack using a speedboat more than two hours ago.
However, the record is really the record. The dwarf speedboats forced back the Tang army's fire support fleet in the south, which naturally meant that it weakened the fire support of the Tang army in the south.
Therefore, Moss also focused his attention on Position 4, which was adjacent to Position 5: This position had been frequently bombarded by the Tang Army before, and the losses were considerable, but it was not fatal.
The key is that now the forward position is safe! The dwarves can start from here and attack the Tang army's flank.
Previously, two battalions with about 1,000 troops were assembled here and launched an attack on the Tang Army's flank, but were pushed back by the Tang Army. Now, with support, they gathered another 1,500 troops and launched another attack.
One flare after another rose into the sky. For the dwarves, the darkness before dawn was almost their last chance.
Along the trenches that had been damaged by artillery fire, these brave dwarf soldiers held bayonets, shouted slogans of Ula, stepped on the corpses of their companions, and moved forward step by step.
Directly in front of them, the machine gunners of the Tang Army, who were waiting in full formation, changed their ammunition chains. Using the light of the flares in the distance, they took aim at these slow targets and pulled the triggers without hesitation.
Bullets were sprayed densely at the advancing dwarf soldiers. One dwarf fell down after another, and blood splashed on the faces and bodies of the people around them. Before they could react, they themselves were pierced by the flying bullets.
Body.
The dwarf soldiers in the distance began to lie down, and then the dwarves began to throw smoke bombs in an attempt to cover the attacking soldiers.
But the shooters of the Tang Army were very experienced. They used the projectile method to project the grenades directly into the places where the smoke was rising. Because the firepower was strong enough, they could carry out attacks so willfully. The dwarf soldiers advancing in the smoke were instantly killed.
There was such a scene that the remaining people were so frightened that they did not dare to get up and move forward.
In the dark sky, a black shadow suddenly blocked a star. The chaotic battlefield was full of gunshots and explosions, and no one noticed that something was approaching.
The next second, the dark figure suddenly shot out a series of dazzling firelights, which were rockets, rushing towards the place where the illumination bombs were raised like a gust of wind and rain.
An armed helicopter of the Tang Army with night combat capabilities approached the battlefield and was ordered to suppress the counterattacking dwarves.
A series of rockets directly hit the position covered with dwarves, and for a moment there was fire everywhere. The sound of explosions covered up all the sounds of crying, and then the dwarf troops retreated like a tide.
Even if he could withstand the loss, the shock of the scene was enough to make him collapse. The horrifying scene of dense explosions of rockets completely shattered the dwarf's courage.
No matter how much the dwarf officer supervising the battle shouted, he could not gather his troops and continue the attack. Of the attacking force of more than 1,500 people, only more than 900 people escaped after just about half an hour of attack.
A few minutes later, Moss received the news that the counterattack had failed again. For him, any loss was acceptable, and what he cared about was time.
No matter which direction you look at it, time is becoming more and more unfavorable to him. After dawn, the Tang army's action speed will speed up, and the dwarves will become more passive.
Now, Moss seems to have only one method left to win this battle: to hold off the Tang Army until its cross-sea supplies collapse!
It's a pity that this tactic is quite passive. Moss doesn't know whether his side will collapse first or the Tang army will collapse first.
What makes him regretful is that he has no way to change anything now. The moment the paratroopers of the Tang Army joined the battlefield, the dwarf troops almost lost their mobility. The only tactic of the Ice Empire was to rely on the defense line to defend. This was their battle
