On the perfectly smooth road that has been built, trucks one after another are moving slowly. These trucks are all dragging heavy howitzers, which are newly sprayed with black paint.
The current production capacity of 155mm caliber howitzers is already very impressive, and many of the newly formed troops are equipped with such howitzers.
On one side of the road, on a flatbed trailer on the railway, M40 self-propelled 155mm howitzers were parked neatly next to each other. As the train moved forward, there was also a whole battalion of M4 tanks.
The 11th Army is advancing along the westward railway. Most of the partially repaired westward railway is now firmly in the hands of Ireland. The original plan to attack along the westward railway has been drawn up.
Okay, now it’s just a matter of following the steps.
Many high-ranking officials in Eiland Hill knew that the 1st Army and the 2nd Army had a plan, which was drawn up in detail to seize the westward railway as soon as possible after the war broke out and open up the communication line between the Holy Demon Empire and the Eternal Empire.
Battle plan.
In order to implement this plan, the 1st and 2nd Army Groups were deployed on the northern front, hoping that they could launch the strongest attack at the most convenient place.
Of course, this plan is definitely not as simple as just letting the 1st and 2nd armies attack. The entire plan includes every step, from war mobilization to the subsequent destruction of the Holy Demon Empire.
According to Eiland Hill's original plan, after the 1st Group Army's attack opens a breakthrough, the task of subsequent attacks will be handed over to the newly formed 11th Group Army and 12th Group Army.
The maintenance of public security in the occupied areas was entirely handed over to the 19th and 20th Group Armies that were subsequently mobilized.
These four follow-up group armies are not small-scale group armies, but large-scale group armies that are comparable to the main group army. If we look at the real organization, there is nothing wrong with calling them army groups.
The 11th Group Army has 300,000 troops under its jurisdiction, and the 12th Group Army has slightly fewer troops, with 270,000 troops. The 19th Group Army that follows them has a total strength of 320,000 troops, and the 20th Group Army has a total strength of 300,000 troops.
This is only the number of ground troops participating in the battle. If you include the air force, the number has exceeded 1.2 million, which is definitely a strong force.
In addition, the 400,000 people of the 1st Army, 410,000 people of the 2nd Army, 370,000 people of the 3rd Army, and the 300,000 people of the 18th Army, the reserve force on the southern front, who have already been put into combat, and those who will be transferred back soon to join the battle.
The 4th Army has 380,000 men...
The ground troops deployed by Eilandhir to directly fight against the Holy Demon Empire totaled more than 3 million troops. Including the air force and other logistics forces, as well as train and railway transportation personnel, the total troop strength was close to 3.5 million.
You must know that before the birth of Elanthir, mankind had never formed an army of this size, nor had such a terrible war broke out.
This world war had just begun. The Mortal Empire launched nuclear bombs to annihilate Bellevue, and then launched a fierce attack in the Magic Empire. The casualties on both sides totaled hundreds of thousands.
This is the first time in recorded human history that a battle of this scale and brutality has occurred. What's more, this is only a local battlefield in this world war. Although it is a veritable main battlefield, it is really just a battlefield.
Partially.
You must know that on the southern battlefield, Eiland Hill has also invested hundreds of thousands of troops, and there are still hundreds of thousands of troops in reserve on the Norma Empire. If you include the domestically mobilized troops, only
It's Eiland Hill, and its military strength is close to 7 million.
What’s even more frightening is that if Ailan Hill wants to expand the war, then after full mobilization, this force can be doubled again! Yes, that’s right! Fully doubled! This is the first time that humans have done this, a country
The strength of the troops can reach tens of millions...
On the other side of the railway and highway was a temporary dirt road that had been trampled by people. On this dirt road, countless soldiers carried their baggage, mixed in with the mules and horses, and walked forward step by step.
Every soldier must carry gas masks and weapons, as well as standard 100 rounds of ammunition, as well as daily necessities and helmet belts! The total weight of these things is almost 50 kilograms, but they are scattered throughout the body, so relatively
It is said to be easier to carry.
The huge crowds of people marching made everyone who saw these troops feel panicked. If so many troops passed by in one day, the local people would not be surprised. After all, they had seen many military campaigns.
However, since the war broke out, they could see scenes like this almost every day: endless stretches of infantry, with mules, horses, tanks and armored vehicles everywhere.
Every day, as long as they open their windows, they can see such troops advancing westward. The next day, the same troops are still advancing westward, and the third day it is still the same...
Except for the soldiers' faces, except for some differences in equipment, and except for the swarms of planes passing by from time to time, they all seemed numb to the scene in front of them.
If they could meet with the top management of Eiland Hill, the question they would most like to ask is, what kind of enemy do we want to destroy, and we need to dispatch troops of this size? Yes, in their view, with so many troops,
Even if it is to destroy a country, it is too much!
"We are killing crazily, and we will not stop. The shadow behind you is my hiding place." Here, soldiers carrying stg-44 assault rifles began to sing loudly.
Their hoarse voices have become accustomed to the civilians living on both sides of the road. They endure the noise and even like the masculine shouts. You know, everyone in Ireland is now
It is a honor to join the army, and everyone advocates force.
After all, as mortals, or as people of the special Ailanthir Empire, they grew up by force, and they also relied on force to reason!
Regardless of whether they are magicians or mortals, as long as they have lived in this country, most of them will be proud to be Elanshir people. This is the cohesion of this country, and this is the superiority of modern society.
"We never put away our weapons until your blood coagulates. We never tolerate our enemies because we are born cold." On the other side, the grenadiers carrying 98k rifles also roared at the top of their lungs. Compared with the automatic
Weapons troops have an advantage in numbers compared to apartments, so their voices are more disturbing to the people.
This unique form of square dance is performed every day along the railway line between Grachi and Nobar, and the local residents of the Holy Demon Empire have become accustomed to this kind of life.
Carrying baskets and wearing local traditional clothes, they stood on the edge of the Eilandsil soldiers and hawked, waving eggs or other things in their hands, earning more gold coins than they usually farmed.
You know, the soldiers in Eiland Hill are all wealthy people. Their salaries are not low to begin with, and now they are transferred to the front line. With their allowances and extra subsidies, they can buy a few eggs or consume some local specialties.
Still no problem at all.
Another reason why they spend money so happily is that the increasingly perfect postal system will transport their personal belongings intact back to their families and deliver them to their families.
In this way, soldiers prefer to spend money to buy some things and mail them home to express their care for their families.
"It's hard for you to believe! These people fed all the mortal workers along the line to the dragon more than two months ago." A young officer who peeled off egg shells looked coldly at the aborigines of the Holy Demon Empire and spoke to
A colleague next to me said.
The officer took out the new thing from his mouth, blew out a puff of white smoke and said enjoying it: "This new thing is really powerful... Don't mess around, they didn't kill your brother, they are just civilians."
"It doesn't matter. I hope they will rebel and harbor criminals... Then I will have a reason to lead my troops to bury their entire village." The young officer peeled off the last bit of eggshell and stuffed the whole egg.
In his mouth, he chewed it as if to vent his hatred.
As far back as a hundred years ago, as recent as the day before yesterday, as light as a magician snatching a piece of pancake from a mortal, as serious as nuclear weapons flattening the hatred between Bailey, Elanthil and the Holy Demon Empire. It can be said that it is really impossible to clean up.
Bad debt.
Everyone's hands are covered with blood, and everyone's butt is not clean... Therefore, the best way now is to listen to whoever's fist is strong, and whoever's knife is sharp is to listen to whoever has it. There is no other way.
Are the magicians of the Holy Demon Empire waiting to avenge Baileywie's blood feud? Forget it, you have to queue up for revenge. There are countless people here in Ailan Hill waiting to avenge the sworn vengeance owed by the magicians back then.
Hate it!
"Forget it, forget it! We are just passing through the border. I heard that we are going to fight as far as Kaunya. I don't know if I can come back alive. Don't think about taking revenge on the common people." The smoker said.
The officer patted the young officer's shoulder and comforted him.
"I'm not afraid of death. Even if I die, I will definitely kill enough! Ten, a hundred! It's not enough!" The young officer chewed eggs in his mouth and muttered harsh words.
The smoking officer threw the remaining cigarette butt at his feet, crushed the sparks on it with the soles of his feet, and looked into the distance with a smile: "Don't worry! It's inevitable! I'm afraid there are too many people who want revenge, and you won't be able to get enough.
Counted."
While they were talking, in the distant sky, rows of neat formations of new MiG-21 fighter jets roared past the sky.
After accumulating a certain number, these latest jet fighters finally entered front-line combat. Their arrival also marked that Ireland's air force was on the road to full jetization.
