The Army Headquarters of the 9th Army was in chaos. The rain outside the window was beating on the bright glass, making everyone in the room restless.
A staff officer pointed to the specific location with a pointer on the carefully arranged sand table, and reported to Cape Luna who was standing aside: "Your Highness, the defense line of the 2nd Regiment and Battalion of the 9th Division was breached by demons..."
"The latest news just sent us, within hours of the enemy's attack, we lost almost 300 soldiers!" A communications officer handed the document in his hand to Chief of Staff Alfred beside him, and began to report the report
.
"The weather conditions have been very bad in recent days, and the Air Force's reconnaissance effect is very poor, so we do not have enough control over the Demon's actions..." The Air Force liaison officer was explaining why the Air Force knew nothing about the Demon's imminent attack.
Alfred also understood this situation very well: "There is nothing to say. The air force reconnaissance cannot be carried out, and the ground reconnaissance cannot be expanded... After all, when facing a speed demon, close reconnaissance is very risky."
After all, there are not many troops who dare to go deep into the demon-controlled areas for investigation. When small teams enter the demon-occupied areas, they are basically in a state of no return. It has to be said that in small-scale battles, those who rely on their physical strength are
Demons who fight at different levels have unique and huge advantages.
They can easily bypass the human reconnaissance team, then form a huge encirclement, and then launch an attack at the same time to annihilate the human reconnaissance team.
There had been reconnaissance by the Air Force before, and the Airan Hill troops did not feel that their reconnaissance was restricted. However, when the rainy weather came, things became a little beyond everyone's expectations.
"So, for us, this attack is very sudden." The staff officer pointed his pointer at the position of the 2nd Regiment of the 9th Division. Seeing that everyone was silent, he concluded his speech.
General Alfred said to Cape Luna worriedly: "They took advantage of the weather to approach our forward positions...The numbers are huge, and the 9th Division's defense line may not be able to be maintained..."
The artillery commander of the group army on the side glanced at Luna, who looked unhappy, and added: "We are thinking of ways to reinforce... because the rocket launcher unit has been transferred... They are now in Larmo, and water far away cannot quench their thirst.
…”
The Air Force liaison officer continued with some embarrassment: "What's even more unfortunate is the news given by the weather monitoring force. They said that the weather has been rainy in the past two days, and the Air Force basically has no way to take off! The bomber force has no way to enter the theater, and we can't
Bomb and cut off the enemy's follow-up reinforcements."
Cape Luna crossed her chest with one hand, rested the elbow of the other arm on her arm, raised her chin and thought for a while, then issued an order: "Let the heavy artillery troops reinforce the 9th Division, and the tank troops of the 9th Division must be assembled.
, Immediately counterattack the demons on the flanks! Reduce their attack area!"
"I'm a little worried. If these demons break through our defenses... we will lose Alan and the nearby forward supply base." Looking at Cape Luna, General Alfred reminded.
"That's trouble! We have a lot of ammunition stored there! These supplies cannot be given up! So we must have Alan in hand!" Luna was also a little unhappy about throwing away her supplies.
Because the devil troops often launch large-scale counterattacks, the supply materials of the group army are stored close to the front line. This facilitates the consumption of the supply army in combat. In order to avoid the situation where the front line troops run out of ammunition and have no time to replenish it, many ammunition supply bases are only a few meters away from the front line.
A distance of about one or two kilometers.
But in this way, after the opponent counterattacks and breaks through the defense line, these supply depots will also be lost. This will undoubtedly be a huge blow to the 9th Army, which does not have sufficient supplies.
You must know that most of these supplies were transported from the Velonsa area to Grecken with great difficulty. Just the transportation capacity consumed on the road made these ammunition so expensive that it made people want to cry.
The money lost for every bullet consumed in Grecken is enough to produce five bullets in the hinterland of Ellandhill. Because of this, Cape Luna couldn't bear to throw those ammunition to the devil.
These are expensive strategic materials that were delivered near the front line with great difficulty.
At this time, an armored officer in the corner stood up holding his helmet and asked softly: "Your Highness, why don't we give it a try?"
"Can dragon knights fight in rainy weather?" Cape Luna was stunned when she saw this officer, and asked subconsciously.
"Although we are not suitable for fighting in rainy weather, at least we can take off, right?" The officer smiled awkwardly and answered.
Although their giant dragons are unwilling to fly on rainy days, at least they can fly. After arriving at the front line, they can also use their flying characteristics to maintain a certain degree of combat effectiveness and support front line operations.
This is already very effective air support for frontline troops in urgent need of reinforcements.
Moreover, the fact that he stood up at this time actually had a symbolic meaning. For a long time, the magic troops and industrial troops of Eiland Hill have always fought separately, rarely engaging in tactical coordination.
Except for the dragon knight troops who showed their hand in the previous battle to reinforce the paratroopers, the combat magic troops that followed have always been auxiliary and supporting roles.
Now, there is finally an opportunity for the magic troops to go to the battlefield as a rescue force. This is very important to the magician class of Veronsa, which means that they are willing to put aside their grudges and truly treat themselves as love.
A man from Landhill, he admitted his identity.
Since they are willing to extend an olive branch at this time, Cape Luna is also willing to accept the favor. She knows that the national policy of Ailan Hill is leaning towards the concept of "equality for all living beings", and she is willing to support this concept that sounds more inclusive.
established national policy.
A pair of beautiful eyes glanced at the dragon knight commander holding a helmet and wearing armor. Cape Luna nodded and agreed to the other party's request: "Yes, please participate in the battle to the best of your ability and block the demon ground troops as much as possible.
!I need time to reinforce the 9th Division, about 5 hours."
"Yes! Your Highness!" The general bowed slightly, and then resolutely walked out of the headquarters and walked into the rain.
Cape Luna looked away from the opponent's back, looked at General Alfred, the chief of staff beside him, and ordered: "In addition, send a telegram to the 9th Division to inform them that the devil has counterattacked, let's
They prepare for war, beware of the devil!"
"Yes! Your Excellency, Commander!" Alfred admired Luna's ability to bring everyone around her together to fight side by side. He felt that Luna seemed to have a halo of calling and could convince everyone around her.
to fight for her.
In the heavy rain, the middle-aged commander wearing a helmet climbed onto the dragon's back. He held the slender reins and turned his head to look at his men.
"Gentlemen! Today, we fight for those who were once oppressed by us and were once weak! This is the honor we deserve! This is the dignity of our strong! Bullying the weak is not what we want! Protect those who are weak.
, is what a truly strong man should do! For Ailanthir!" He pulled the reins and encouraged his men in a loud voice.
As he shouted, under the pounding of dense raindrops, pairs of eyes glowed with pride under his cold faceplate.
The neatly lined-up soldiers turned over and climbed onto the back of the giant dragon, and at the same time they shouted louder and louder: "For Elanthir! For His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Hoo!" waved away the dense rain, and the huge dragon wings stretched out in the sky. The leader of the dragon rose into the sky, facing the raindrops falling from the sky, and rose into the mid-air.
Following this giant dragon into the sky, there were giant dragons one after another. These dragon knights fluttered their wings in the rain and gathered into a huge formation in the sky.
On the lawn of the field airport, fighter jets covered with canvas were parked next to each other. The ground crew looked up at the sky from the edge of the tent, watching these huge dragon knights flying over their heads. They felt indescribable.
complex.
This sky has always been ruled by the Airan Hill fighter force, and in such bad weather, the enemies they once pinned to the ground and rubbed became comrades protecting their airspace. This feeling is really...
...unspeakably unwilling.
"This damn rain...stop it quickly!" A ground staff member retracted his head in annoyance and looked at his colleagues: "When the weather improves, all aircraft will be restored to normal condition immediately.
Ready to go at any time!"
"Don't worry! When the weather improves, there will no longer be any possibility of enemies in the sky!" Another ground crew member vented his dissatisfaction bitterly.
Outside, the rain seemed to be heavier, and the battle on the 9th Division's frontal defense line became more fierce.
After a desperate hand-to-hand battle, the Elanshir Grenadiers finally lost their second line of defense. They left hundreds of mutilated corpses here and retreated to the third line of defense unwillingly.
The demon's attack shows no sign of stopping. They still have an absolute numerical advantage, braving the intensive artillery fire of Elanthir and constantly attacking the already crumbling human defense line.
The battlefield is full of explosions, muddy craters, wreckage of destroyed tanks, and demon corpses.
Amidst these ruined scenes, a tank shining with magic light retreated behind its own defense line. The light on the magic inscription disappeared, and the people inside opened the hatch above their heads.
Ryan stuck out his head and shouted to the logistics soldier in front of him: "Ammunition! Replenish ammunition for me!"——
