When an officer pushed open the door of Felix's room, he even looked a little sluggishly when he looked over. The Elf Marshal's face looked quite haggard, and it was obvious that he had not had a good rest in the past few days.
"What's the matter?" He asked with full exhaustion. Even from this sentence, there was no expectation.
He really didn't expect anything. There was no good news these days. They repeatedly ran into obstacles in front of the Tang army and lost almost all the battles they could lose.
The 5th Army is retreating, and so is the 7th Army. The two entire armies have no power to fight back in front of the opponent's roughly 3 to 4 divisions. This kind of battle makes people feel aggrieved.
Sure enough, the officer who came to deliver the news handed him a new message with a wry smile: "Marshal, the news just sent is that the 7th Army Headquarters was bombed. Tang Jun attacked there with missiles. The 7th Army Commander also
A chief of staff died in the line of duty..."
"Isn't there an air defense code...why did they..." Flix wanted to blame him, but when he thought that several people were gone, there was no use in blaming him, so he had to give up.
In fact, he understood this kind of thing very well, because the Tang army's radio detection methods were simply incredible. If the coalition forces exposed the location of some radio signals, they would immediately be ruthlessly attacked.
He used to command on the border positions and used the telephone lines laid back then, so he could avoid being discovered... The 7th Army did not have such good conditions, so it was natural to use some radios.
However, nature comes naturally, and if you don't take the Tang Army's attack methods seriously, you are committing suicide. Obviously, the top brass of the 7th Group Army who have stayed in the country and have not had direct contact with the Tang Army have not realized that doing so is very dangerous.
They should know it now, but it's a little late. After sighing, Flix could only order: "Re-emphasize the radio usage rules! There are also air defense regulations!"
"Yes! Marshal." The officer turned and left, leaving only Flix, who was still tired, sitting in a chair in a daze.
This is the border defense line. The 5th Army retreated eastward along the border defense line, making full use of the infrastructure on the border defense line.
They have trenches and tunnels, as well as artillery positions and headquarters. These facilities are all connected by landlines, so their small life is quite comfortable.
On the other side, the 7th Army, which was completely in a field state, was much more unlucky. They had been in a field state and were driven out of the suburbs of Refeng Port by the Tang army. Now they can only survive with a few villages on their backs.
The good news is that their reinforcements are coming soon, but the bad news is that the combat effectiveness of these reinforcements is actually not very good. Whether it is the troops from Dorne or the troops from Lines, the supplies of these guest troops from afar are still a big problem.
question.
Now the Tang Army has formed a huge L-shaped occupied area, extending along the coastline on one side and across the entire northern part of the Dwarf Empire on the other. It can be said that it has established a firm foothold.
On the one hand, supplies for the Tang Army can be delivered continuously through the three ports, and on the other hand, the ore produced in the mountainous areas in the northern part of the Eastern Continent can be sent back to the Western Continent for processing through the ports.
From various aspects, the Tang Army has achieved its strategic goal, and it can even be said that it has overfulfilled its mission. Next, only pure war and victory or defeat remain.
…
"Dear viewers! The Ice Empire used a large number of inhumane drugs in the war, destroyed its own soldiers, and used unfair means to seek victory... Here are the various packages and corresponding drugs seized by our soldiers on their positions.
." A war reporter wearing a helmet told the cameraman to focus on the messy corners of the trench while introducing.
It was a whole box of black crows that had not yet been opened, and there were some scattered packages next to it. These things were appearing more and more frequently in the seized lists, proving that the dwarves were trying to use this drug to change the situation of the war.
It's just that this attempt is destined to be in vain. The Tang army's attack can no longer be stopped by some drugs that hypnotize soldiers. As the battle line gets closer and closer to Ironforge, the resistance of the dwarves becomes weaker and weaker.
Yes, it is getting weaker and weaker: all the most elite troops have been lost, and the remaining troops are even short of basic heavy weapons. Of course, frontal battles are getting weaker and weaker.
The strength of the troops seems to have even increased slightly, but in fact there are not many people left who can actually fight. This is exactly the same as when Germany fought in the Battle of Berlin for the third time: it seems that an army of one million is not that small, but this army of one million is not that small.
Compared with the one-million-strong army in Stalingrad that year, it was completely different.
A real war often collapses only in an instant, and the subsequent struggles are just struggles that are unwilling to fail. To use a more heart-wrenching sentence to describe it, that is, people leave in the morning, but they are buried only at night.
"As you can see, these drugs are very dangerous. Our soldiers must collect them carefully and then concentrate them to destroy them." When the reporter was talking, he could still hear the explosion of shells falling in the distance.
That was when the Tang army was attacking, and the 155 howitzers were firing to cover it. The dwarves rarely saw large-scale artillery participating in the battle.
The firepower of the two sides was not at the same level at all. The Tang army often fired ten shots at the dwarves, but the dwarves could still get back one shot. As the battle situation continued to change, this situation gradually changed.
Too many towed howitzers were lost and could not be replaced in a short period of time. The dwarf's logistics troops no longer even transported the artillery to the front line.
They built as strong trenches and defense lines as possible near Ironforge, deployed artillery in these places, and then allowed the troops on the front line to lament that they had no artillery to use.
In the opinion of the dwarf's senior officers, rather than letting heavy weapons go to waste, it might be more effective to stay behind and hoard them for battle at once.
In fact, not only the officers, but also many dwarf ministers, including the emperor Binghan I, were thinking about one thing: the battle of Ironforge was inevitable. When the Tang army came to the city, should they fight in Ironforge?
A fight to the death.
Binghan I actually had the idea of a decisive battle. He hoped to fight the Tang army in Ironforge. Because for the Binghan Empire, this was almost the last chance.
Once Ironforge is lost, the concept of the Dwarf Empire will be shaken from a legal perspective. The Ice Empire represents the dwarves from the moment they capture Ironforge. If Ironforge is lost now, what will they use to continue?
