The Air Force Commander of the Poplar Empire, Barron, has been very busy recently because he is deploying troops to support the dwarves, their neighbor to the north, in their operations.
In order to restore the dwarves' air force strength, the elves not only sent 300 pilots and 300 aircraft of various types to participate in the battle, but also dispatched an additional 100 flight instructors to the Ice Empire to train the newly recruited dwarf pilots.
This is a relatively complete support plan. After all, the Elf Air Force is relatively powerful in the Eastern Continent.
They are not only equipped with the ground-attack Type 262 attack aircraft, but also the advanced 104 fighter jets. These man-operated rockets are very fast and equipped with simple radars, giving them the most basic all-weather combat capabilities.
"Our neighbors are really too greedy. They want everything... I might as well give our air force to their command..." After seeing the request for help from the Dwarf Empire, Barron snorted coldly and threw it away.
To the side.
He had heard how the dwarves wasted the elite air power of the Dornish Empire to support the northward march on the battlefield. More than a hundred aircraft and more than a hundred pilots were all destroyed in one operation.
Barron did not intend to waste precious elf pilots in such a crazy counterattack, at least he did not see any substantial effect of such a counterattack.
"It's actually not their fault. After all, facing the Tang Empire's air force, they will definitely be very passive." Next to Barron, an Elf air force commander commented fairly.
Whether the loss is big or not mainly depends on your opponent--it is the enemy of the Tang Army. No matter how big the loss is, it seems to be within a reasonable range.
"Hmph... who knows... Anyway, we have mobilized 300 aircraft, including 150 104s and 150 262s. We can't get more aircraft in a short time." Barron snorted.
Said disdainfully.
Using one-tenth of his country's air power to support his once-hostile neighbors, in Barron's view, he has done his best to benevolent and righteous.
"I heard that a few days ago, the Ice Empire officially requested us to provide ground troop reinforcements. They are willing to cede some previously disputed areas in exchange for our support." The air force officer continued to add.
In fact, this is nothing news. The elves have also entered the area previously controlled by the dwarves. In order to gain the support of the elves, the dwarves ceded a large piece of territory and withdrew all other combat troops on the border.
After all, the dwarves needed more troops to support the front line. The tight situation in Everwinter City, the retreat of the 5th Army, and the annihilation of the 1st Army all forced the dwarves to mobilize more troops to go north.
Therefore, the elves took the opportunity to take back many disputed lands, and King Yangmu I also fulfilled his promise and ordered the 3rd and 4th armies deployed on the northern border of the elves to move north.
It's just that their movement speed is very slow, because they have to provide their own logistical supplies and replenish as much ammunition as possible on the way north to meet combat needs.
The request of the elves is that these two armies are temporarily responsible for the garrison, security, air defense and other combat tasks in the southern area of the dwarves, and will continue to fight northward when the time is right.
The dwarves also agreed to this request, because coordinating the battle between the two armies was not an easy task, so they simply let the elves slowly move northward behind them.
Of course, the dwarves are not really stupid. Their third army stationed in Ironforge has no intention of moving at all. It is probably to guard against the two armies of the elves that may come from behind.
"Why did they go there earlier? If they had been like this earlier, there would be no need for a war to break out between us, and there would be no need to waste so much precious time and energy!" Barron said angrily.
At the same moment, Moss, who was hiding in an underground bunker, received the good news that the forward troops of the 6th Army had arrived at the front line. This was one of the few good news he had received in these days.
But this good news seemed to be unable to save him and Yongdong Port: the Tang Army was already attacking the port, and the 4th Army carried out the order to blow up the port, but this also meant that the entire defense of Yongdong Port was on the verge of collapse.
In the direction of the dock, the Tang Army's troops were capturing the warehouse area bit by bit. The battle situation there could change at any time. The Tang Army would capture several large warehouses almost every hour.
In the other direction, in the afternoon, the Tang Army had approached the square in the city center. A fierce battle broke out between the two sides in the buildings around the square. The Tang Army lost some troops and temporarily stopped the attack.
However, the dwarves were exhausted. They used their reserves and almost used up all the weapons stored nearby, and then they barely contained the Tang army's attack.
When night comes, the Tang Army will definitely not miss this opportunity. Their night fighting troops will definitely launch an attack. There is a big question mark as to whether the dwarf soldiers who have exhausted their flares can hold on.
The submarine base and torpedo boat base near Yongdong Port have all fallen, and the few remaining speedboats sank beside the dock in the cave...
A submarine was ordered to take the captured night vision goggles and some Tang Army helmets and tactical vests made of unknown materials to secretly break out of the encirclement south last night.
Moss didn't know whether they succeeded or not, but the submarine was originally prepared for him, the commander-in-chief. No one knows why Binghan I suddenly changed his mind and let Moss, who was ordered to station at Everwinter Harbor, leave on the submarine.
front.
But Moss refused this well-intentioned order. He stayed and did not choose to leave his troops. In Moss' view, he was responsible for himself and the fate of the empire.
When the battle reaches this point, it will not be surprising when the dwarf 4th Army collapses. Many troops have been cut off from supplies, and some troops can no longer find their superior units.
The dwarves within a few blocks fought independently, and their persistence depended on their faith. Sometimes the Tang army could capture hundreds of prisoners, but at other times they could only eliminate all the dwarves who refused to surrender on the battlefield.
"The nearest enemy is less than 1,000 meters away from us, general." The dwarf chief of staff, who also stayed behind, reminded Moss: "We are no longer safe here."
"Then go to Headquarters No. 2!" Moss had no intention of sticking here. He had previously selected three headquarters in different locations in the city, preparing to use them as temporary headquarters in an emergency.
"Departing at night?" the chief of staff asked with some uncertainty.
"No, we'll leave in the evening!" Moss chose an unusual time: "While eating! We may encounter the Tang Army's night fighting infiltration troops at night... It's safer if we leave during the day. Don't go on foot.
