1587 A street intersection that can never be returned to
Stepping on gravel, Moss walked among the ruins of the city. He could vaguely remember the original appearance of these places, but now these familiar places were completely different from what he remembered.
All the windows in the originally beautiful building seemed to have been damaged, and soldiers resting against the wall could be vaguely seen in the dark corners.
The Tang army's night attack was too sharp, so the dwarf soldiers could only sleep in batches. Every day, enough soldiers were left to guard the position and fight against the Tang army day and night.
Under such high-intensity fighting, the dwarf soldiers were very tired. They did not get a good rest or sufficient supplies, and their physical strength was severely exhausted.
Looking at the soldiers sleeping soundly in the corner with their arms tilted and their heads tilted, Moss felt an indescribable pain in his heart.
The steel fortress he carefully laid out did not play its intended role at all. The coastal defense zones that cost a huge amount of money to build almost fell within a few days.
Those damn Tang people didn't know what kind of magic they used to destroy the biggest barrier of the dwarves, so that now, the dwarf troops can only rely on hastily built fortifications to deal with the Tang people.
At the street entrance, there was a howitzer set up in the middle of the road, with sandbags piled around it, forming a fairly solid-looking barricade. There were many dwarves around who were using various rags to build stronger defenses, trying to stop the Tang army's attack.
.
They placed a bombed car aside and piled some furniture and other debris behind the car. The dwarf company commander commanding here saw the guard troops of the high command and looked at these "elite" troops curiously.
”.
To be honest, there are not many elite dwarf troops equipped with submachine guns. Obviously, only the security troops of the headquarters can have such luxurious equipment.
Seeing these soldiers carrying submachine guns, backpacks and helmets, several soldiers who were working also stopped what they were doing.
The two troops passed by each other silently, without any communication between them. It was obviously not appropriate to ask each other's number at this time, and the security troops guarding Moss obviously had no time for small talk.
However, Moss, who was walking in the middle of the team, still saw this half-completed position. In his opinion, it was simply a substandard facility.
As long as the Tang army came along the road, they could easily destroy the obstacles blocking the road. Then the dwarf soldiers behind these obstacles would become targets and be killed one by one by the Tang army.
But he knew he shouldn't say anything, because the soldiers here had tried their best. This was all they could find, and the army's logistics troops couldn't even find an anti-tank gun to support these brave soldiers.
"They don't even have an anti-tank gun, just a 75mm howitzer." After Moss walked through the position, he complained to the officer following him.
The officer sighed awkwardly and explained a few words to his general: "General, our logistics are in chaos. I heard that the anti-tank rocket launchers have been used up long ago, and the same goes for the anti-tank guns..."
He actually didn't know the details. He just heard that the warehouse was blown up and some of the individual anti-tank weapons such as rocket launchers that were rescued were used up within a few days.
I don’t know how the frontline troops use it. Anyway, applications for such anti-tank weapons are everywhere, and the little they have in stock has been exhausted in less than two days.
As for anti-tank guns... the dwarves actually have a lot of them, but most of them are used as fixed firepower points and placed in permanent defense fortifications - yes, they are all deployed inside the steel barriers.
Those artillery pieces have now become the trophies of the Tang army. Most of them have been captured, a few have been destroyed, and there are really only a few left in Yongdong Port.
Most of these artillery were still deployed as firepower points in defensive positions in the suburbs, and have now been destroyed.
The few gates that were lucky enough to return to the city were all treasures in the hands of various troops, and they did not dare to waste them easily. You must know that this thing is the only cutting-edge weapon they have that can penetrate the armored vehicles of the Tang Army.
Moss didn't say anything. He just remained silent for a while, took one last look at the position he passed, then raised his legs and continued to move towards the destination.
He knew that if he left like this, he would probably never return to this place, but he still left without looking back or leaving any orders or anything like that.
In the position behind Moss, the dwarf soldiers watched off the senior generals and officers and the guardsmen carrying submachine guns, and then began the complicated work at hand.
They wanted to perfect their position as much as possible so that they could survive longer in the attack of the Tang army. Several dwarf soldiers took out the ammunition box from the nearby ruins and pried open the lid to reveal the shells inside.
These small-caliber howitzer shells were neatly stacked in wooden boxes. The dwarf artillerymen checked the loading of these shells one by one, and then used tools to unscrew the safety in front of the shells.
The infantrymen on the side were also sorting out their ammunition. They distributed bullets to each soldier, followed by a grenade for each person.
These supplies have just been delivered, and they also include today's food ration: a piece of bread that can be used as a breast shield, some dried fish, some special sauces from the Ice Empire, and some multigrain biscuits.
This has been almost the standard food configuration for dwarf soldiers in the past two days. It is almost the same as one meal. The soldiers need to find the rest by themselves and use their imagination to fill it up in the ruins of Everwinter City.
Stomach stuff.
In fact, it basically tells the soldiers that they can loot at will: rummage through the ruins, go in and look at the rooms when they come across them, and if there are civilians inside, take food from the civilians; if not, take it from the dead.
Take some food out of your mouth...
Such behavior made the civilians in Yongdong City dislike their soldiers even more. On the contrary, the Tang army's attitude towards prisoners and civilians seemed more regal.
They gathered civilians together and provided them with fixed food in a fixed area so that these people could maintain a basic life.
This arrangement also allows civilians receiving food to only move around the food distribution area, which ensures that most of the Tang army can fight boldly in the operational theater.
