In a makeshift headquarters in an auto parts factory in Dorkam, several officers in armor were staring at the map with a frown on their faces.
The leader, General German, held his helmet and said with a gloomy face: "Gentlemen, just over an hour ago, we were completely surrounded."
"Ailan Hill's army is reinforcing their defense line. The current situation is very unfavorable to us. The puppet empire's counterattack on the periphery has completely failed." He said while pointing to the Ailan Hill that was already several kilometers thick.
Encircling the defense line, he said to his men.
The officer in charge of the Dragon Knights had almost become the commander-in-chief. He shook his head and continued: "The Dragon Knights can no longer continue to fight in the air... We have suffered heavy losses and there is not much left."
"Let's forget about relying on the air force. Although the Dragon Knight troops fought bravely, the losses were indeed too huge. The established troops have been annihilated. Under such circumstances, reluctantly continuing to fight is no different from committing suicide." Another
A general looked dejected and said as he looked at the increasingly dense encirclement.
"Without the support of the dragon knights, how can the ground troops fight? In the past, we were able to regain part of the position even with losses, but now can we afford the losses?" The general commanding the infantry operations stared at General German and asked.
They had reinforcements before and were still in contact with other parts of the Holy Demon Empire. No matter how much they lost, they could still get some replenishment.
Although their troops appear to be numerous now, they have been nailed to the position. It is not impossible to reluctantly mobilize some troops to break out, but they must use the troops squeezed out in this way carefully.
It is foreseeable that as the encirclement is reduced little by little, their positions will become more and more crowded, and the terrible air force bombing of Eilan Hill will become more and more precise. By that time, the losses will be doubled.
Improved.
"I must be responsible for the 200,000 Kadom defenders under my command..." Geman stood there holding his helmet, his strong body still thick and steady under the swaying light.
He opened his mouth and said to his subordinates: "So, I asked you to come here this time to ask everyone, should we continue to stick here and buy more time for the motherland with our lives, or should we choose to surrender honorably?"
"I think we should fight to the end! We will make the people of Elanthir pay with their blood!" A young general clenched his fists and looked at everyone and said: "The tragedy of Bellevue cannot be dismissed so lightly!"
The nuclear strike on Bellevue was so terrifying that the Holy Demon Empire had no way to cover it up. So they changed their approach and publicized the incident in an attempt to arouse the hatred of all magicians.
Although the effect is very good, many magicians are worried that Elanthir will expand nuclear strikes and attack other cities.
The seeds of hatred have been sown, and it is inevitable that many magicians will hate Elanthir. This part of the emotion can only be healed by time and gentle means. There is no good way.
"Why fight to the death? Our 130mm caliber howitzers? Yesterday we fired about 300 shells. Do you know how many shells Ireland fired back at us? 3,000! The caliber is even larger! The power is even greater!" Responsible!
The artillery officer painfully stated a fact that made him depressed.
The firepower of both sides is not at the same level at all. An infantry division of Ireland Hill has more than 10 155mm caliber howitzers. Counting the strengthened military artillery, the group is an artillery force, often on the front of the assault. Ireland Hill
The troops can assemble at least 200 large-caliber artillery pieces of various types.
These include 105 mm caliber howitzers, 155 mm caliber howitzers, 203 mm caliber howitzers, and a larger number of 120 mm caliber mortars. If you include the Katyusha rocket launchers, the firepower of Ailan Hill is almost twice that of the Holy Demon Empire.
ten times.
With such a huge gap, the Holy Demon Empire's artillery units simply struggled to fight back. Apart from gritting their teeth and completing the tasks assigned above, they had almost no actual effect.
What worries everyone even more is that although Dokamu's factory can still produce, there are not many raw materials left in storage. Because iron ore and coal cannot be replenished from Misak, Dokamu's production is about to come to a standstill.
Came down.
Without production, there is no ammunition replenishment. The originally small reserve of artillery shells is now even more stretched. Under such circumstances, it is simply a joke to continue to compete with the artillery group of Eiland Hill.
"Then we surrender like this? Are you still soldiers of the Holy Demon Empire? How can we surrender to a group of mortals?" The general who advocated fighting to the end shouted angrily: "As soldiers, we should fight! Fight to the end!
Never surrender!"
"Fight to the end? There is no point in that... In addition to increasing casualties, Kadom will also become a ruin." Another general retorted.
"Even if it is reduced to ruins, we can't leave Elanthir to us! We will turn Dokamu into a dead city! Let them get nothing!" The general who advocated fighting to the end shouted hysterically.
"If you really piss off Elanthir, do you still need to fight Dorkamu after it has become a dead city? Baileyvi has just been destroyed, don't you know?" Another general spoke up and joined the war of words.
The young militant banged the table and shouted: "Then let them try! I don't believe in an attack of that level. They can get whatever they want!"
"It doesn't take much. As long as they have one nuclear bomb like that, Dorkamu will be wiped off the map!" Another general snorted coldly and interjected in a tone full of contempt.
He was very worried that Alan Hill would really drop a nuclear bomb into this encirclement, because he didn't want to die here so meaninglessly. It was really meaningless, Alan Hill didn't even have to lose any troops, so much more
Kamu will become a ruins with no vegetation left.
"Beliveau has been wiped off the map! Have you forgotten your hatred?" Seeing more and more people opposing his claim, the young general became more and more angry.
In his opinion, Bellevue's hatred must be avenged, even if all his soldiers were sacrificed for it. However, it was obvious that other generals did not think so.
What most people are thinking about is how to solve the dilemma before them: ammunition is getting less and less, and soldiers are getting more and more tired from fighting. In their opinion, whether they can break out, whether they can hold their position, whether they can surrender, are the options they should make.
.
Since there is no hope of breaking out and there will be no good results from holding the position, surrender is definitely an option worth considering. Even if the war is over, the prisoners will be exchanged or redeemed, which is a better ending.
"Then you still want Dorcam to become the second Bellevue?" So, when the young war-fighting general once again emphasized his anger, more generals stood up and spoke.
Their words made the young general even more irritated. He pressed the hilt of his sword and glared at the generals who opposed fighting to the end: "You are treason! You are disobeying the orders of the Grand Consul!"
"That's enough!" Germann knocked on the table and silenced the entire headquarters. He glanced at his officers and said, "We are going to discuss a countermeasure now! This is not a quarrel!"
"I think this issue doesn't need to be discussed at all. We should fight until the last moment! Even if it means death, we must kill an Airanhir soldier with us!" The young general was still unwilling to give up.
"If we can exchange one for one, we can keep fighting. The problem is, if we add them all now, we may not be able to replace 10,000 Airan Hill soldiers." Germann said with a wry smile.
"Then let's trade ten people for one of them! As long as I live! The war will never end!" the young general said, clenching his fists.
With a sound of "Qiang!", Geman drew out the sword from his waist. Before anyone could react, he struck the young general of the main war faction horizontally with the sword. The young general was caught off guard, until the sword hit him.
It was only in front of me that I subconsciously wanted to avoid it.
Only then did Geman's voice reach everyone's ears: "Then go to hell!"
Unfortunately, because the speed was too fast, before he could react, the sword left a long thin mark on his neck.
"Poof!" Blood spurted out from the fine mark and sprinkled on the map. The young general covered his neck and pointed at Geman with his other hand. He seemed to want to say something, but in the end he could only press his hand on the table.
He staggered down and closed his eyes forever.
"Okay, now... let's all talk about whether we should surrender or continue to fight." Returning the long sword to its sheath, Gehrman stared at the men in front of him, ignoring the corpses on the ground.
Asked.
You have made it this far, and you still ask what is the meaning of such words? A general took off the sword from his waist, pressed it on the map table full of blood, and said: "I won't fight, I will go back."
Lead the troops to surrender."
"I won't fight either! Surrender!" The other general took off his sword, looked at the table covered with blood, dropped the sword at his feet, turned around and walked out of the factory warehouse.
With these two people taking the lead, the others also took off their accessories and made the wisest choice.
On the third day after the Kadom encirclement was encircled, the 200,000 Kadom defenders abandoned their defensive positions, handed over their weapons and surrendered to the Elanshir troops.
On the same day, the puppet empire added one million troops to the frontal battlefield, and countless puppet troops crossed the bombing zone and joined the war. They suffered heavy losses along the way, but they still had a local numerical advantage. The war is still going on.
It continues within the Holy Demon Empire, destroying the lives of everyone here.
