A puppet poked its head out of the position, seeming to be observing the surrounding scene. The outer positions of Kaunia had all fallen into the hands of the Elansil army, and the number of puppet soldiers trapped nearby was getting smaller and smaller.
.
Although there are still hundreds of thousands of puppet soldiers fighting in the city, including the soldiers of the Holy Demon Empire, the total number is nearly 200,000. However, when facing the 1st Group Army, such a strong force is still somewhat stretched.
These puppet soldiers moved cautiously among the ruins on the edge of the city, because if the observation posts of Eilanhir detected large-scale puppet activities, they would immediately attract intensive shelling.
Such an artillery bombardment would shake the mountains and cover a large area in an instant. After suffering countless losses like this, the puppets finally learned to be smarter and no longer appeared stupidly in front of the Elanhill troops.
After seeing the vaguely visible Airan Hill soldiers on the other side of the ruins, the puppet retracted its head little by little and turned around to give a signal to the puppets behind it.
Several puppets stepped back cautiously. They came here just to see how many troops there were in the nearby Eiland Hill garrison.
It's just that what they saw made their commander very disappointed. More and more Ailan Hill troops were infiltrating into the city, which put considerable pressure on the puppet soldiers.
Next to the collapsed house, a high-level puppet stood next to several generals of the Holy Demon Empire, discussing the defense of the city. This was a real contest, a real contest that everyone was afraid of.
In yesterday's counterattack, the Holy Demon Empire lost more than 300 people and thousands of puppets. However, after the battle, there was no change in the positions of both sides. In exchange for thousands of puppets and hundreds of soldiers,
It was just a massive but ineffective battle.
The commanders of the Holy Demon Empire are very tired. They are very upset and unwilling to continue fighting this war. However, there are puppet soldiers around them, and their unilateral surrender cannot end the war.
"Yesterday we invested a large number of troops here to fight back...but we failed and failed to recapture this neighborhood." A general drew on the map with his finger.
Ironically, the map he is using now is still a tourist map drawn by the Ireland Tourism Bureau. The military map of the Holy Demon Empire is not as accurate as the map in front of him.
The drawing method on this map, as well as the precise scale, were all invented by Alan Hill. Now that he saw it, it was really ironic in his eyes.
"If we continue to counterattack like this, it won't be long before we have no reserves to resist the enemy's attack." Another general from the Holy Demon Empire gave instructions.
He personally directed yesterday's counterattack. More than 200 soldiers followed the puppets with weapons and rushed towards the defensive position of Eiland Hill. However, they soon fell into a pool of blood and became a bloodbath between the two army positions.
A cold corpse.
Then, more than 100 other soldiers who rejoined the charge team never came back, becoming victims of a test of the intensity of Ailan Hill's bullets.
The battle lasted from afternoon to night, and the Holy Demon Empire stopped attacking just before dinner. However, this morning, the counterattack from Ailan Hill came as expected.
The opponent launched an attack within three blocks, demolished several magic towers, and occupied some workshops and shops. The most frightening thing was that these Ailan Hill soldiers were getting closer and closer to the train station.
That area has always been the key defense area of the Holy Demon Empire, but even so, it has not been able to stop Ailan Hill's advance. Now, the nearest Ailan Hill defense position is only more than 300 meters away from Kauniya Railway Station.
The distance was close, which made the defenders of the Holy Demon Empire very helpless.
No matter how they defend themselves, Ailan Hill can always use powerful firepower to open a gap. Whether it is tanks or other weapons, Ailan Hill has an absolute advantage. This advantage is so great that it makes people desperate.
The senior commanders of the Demon Empire were at their wits' end.
"Today my puppets will start a full-scale counterattack near the train station! I will invest 10,000 puppet soldiers! At least drive them back to the defensive position the day before yesterday!" said the senior puppet in charge of commanding these puppet soldiers in the puppet empire.
When speaking, the puppet's tone was full of determination. The voice came from behind the mask, and it sounded full of discordant emphasis.
"We have no more troops to attack with the puppets." Hearing that there was a counterattack, the commander of the Holy Demon Empire's first reaction was to refuse. He did not want to waste precious troops anymore, he was afraid of his own
The troops were literally wiped out here.
Kaunia is a very large city, and most of it has been reduced to rubble by shelling. However, what Eilanhir wants is the train station, and the rest can be rebuilt at any time.
There is no need to fight to the death with the Elanshir people. This is the common sentiment of most of the Holy Demon Empire garrison commanders in Kauniya.
It's a pity that there are still hundreds of thousands of puppet soldiers here who are impossible to surrender, and there are also a group of diehards who threaten to fight until the last moment.
"No need! We launch the attack alone! We don't need your cooperation!" The puppet commander glanced at several generals of the Holy Demon Empire. Although his tone was awkward, the disdain could still be heard.
Hearing that the other party said that their cooperation was not needed, several commanders of the Holy Demon Empire breathed a sigh of relief: they did not have to actually sacrifice the lives of their own soldiers. This was great news.
"However, I need you to install explosives at the train station... to destroy the entire train station!" The puppet then said: "This station can no longer be left!"
"Mr. Puppet... We have given up too many things... If we blow up the station, Kaunya, there will really be nothing left..." An officer from the Holy Demon Empire objected.
"Do you want to stay with Ailanthir?" the puppet asked with a sneer.
Several officers from the Holy Demon Empire bowed their heads and fell silent when they heard this rhetorical question. They knew that it was almost impossible to hold the station, but it was still very distressing to have them blow up what they had worked so hard to build.
"Okay... collect explosives and prepare to blow up the station!" the leading officer made a final decision.
…
"They are probably going to blow up the station..." In the headquarters of the 121st Division in Ireland, General Walter was discussing with the commander of the 121st Division an attack plan to continue attacking the train station. Staring at the map, the commander of the 121st Division spoke.
"Don't be afraid, it's part of our plan for them to blow up the station! We have already stocked up on cement and the corresponding maintenance rails! We don't want the intact station, but let them give up the station!
"Walter smiled and spoke to comfort his men.
With Ireland's current capabilities, it is really easy to build a train station in a few days. If the transshipment capacity is not too much, this station can even be built faster.
The engineering troops had been prepared for a long time, even better than the troops attacking the train station.
"We have made preparations. We have studied the enemy's first layer of defense almost completely. The remaining question now is whether we wait for them to attack first, or whether we attack directly!" The commander of the 121st Division listened to the group army.
After the commander said this, he immediately expressed his determination to attack.
"Let's attack first! Waiting for them is too slow! I will give you artillery support in the afternoon! Before evening, we will break through the enemy's first-line defensive position!" Walter gave the order to attack.
"Yes! General!" the commander of the 121st Division stood at attention, saluted, and responded. The 1st Group Army, which has received reinforcements, can now be said to be wealthy. After eating tens of thousands of additional troops in one breath, their troops are abundant and their combat effectiveness has been restored.
quick.
Now, Walter is preparing to mobilize 3 divisions and more than 50,000 troops to storm Caunia, smash the opponent into the city, and eat them up bit by bit! As for the outside, the outside is already owned by Ireland.
Three days ago, Elanshir's field troops completely surrounded Kaunia and made contact with the Eternal Empire troops operating west of Kaunia. Now Kaunia is a truly isolated island.
.
"Go and prepare! I want to be here to watch the attack unfold!" Walking to the bunker, General Walter approached the artillery mirror, looked at the puppet-controlled houses in the distance, and sighed: "How short!
"
A few minutes later, the puppet soldiers who were gathering in the open space behind the ruins raised their heads and looked up at the sky and saw the 155 mm caliber howitzer shells flying over. The opponent's shelling just started without any warning.
The huge explosion opened longer cracks in the collapsed walls, causing the rubble on the ruins to roll down to lower places. A massive attack kicked off, and everything was left alive in the explosion.
On another distant position, a young Holy Demon Empire soldier stretched his neck, hoping to see the shelling.
Beside him, a veteran of the Holy Demon Empire looked drowsily in the direction of the rising black smoke, then turned over and continued to fall asleep: "What's there to see? Ailan Hill is attacking!"
"Artillery bombs, tanks rush, tanks rush, artillery bombs, artillery bombs, tanks rush...what's there to see?" Another soldier nodded sourly and answered. The reason for saying this is simply because their Holy Demon Empire,
There are no weapons and equipment like tanks.
"It's really smooth." Next to him, the recruit who was peeping his head was startled and commented.
"That's right, don't even look at who made it up!" the soldier said proudly and arrogantly.
Just as he was arrogantly boasting, a cannonball roared over their heads, causing everyone to shrink their necks and shut their mouths. Immediately afterwards, the second cannonball fell, then the third, the tenth, and so on.
