In the mobile command vehicle of the 1st Armored Corps of the Demon World Expeditionary Force, Heidi Cannon, a general from the Magic Empire, was listening to his subordinates irritably checking into the radio to verify the problems encountered by each unit, with his hands behind his back.
In the past half hour, his troops encountered a fierce counterattack by the demon troops. This counterattack was unprecedented, and even his defense line had been penetrated.
"The 1st Armored Regiment encountered a counterattack 28 kilometers east of City No. 48. They were fighting some enemies wearing white robes." A major operated the computer in front of him and reported to the Heidikanon Hui behind him.
"Captain Burleson's 1st Company was severely damaged. The computer shows that his unit still has one-third of its powered exoskeletons and energy..." He was able to check a lot of information from his computer, including the damage to the frontline troops.
Condition.
On his computer screen, the status of many troops was still displayed in good green, while some troops were already in dangerous yellow.
This shows that some troops have lost more than one-third of their troops. According to the rules of engagement, these troops can now be regarded as collapsed.
"The defense line of the 2nd Armored Regiment has been penetrated, and the news they fed back is almost the same. A few enemies wearing white robes appeared at the front of the position, and the 1st Armored Battalion under the 2nd Regiment suffered heavy losses." Another captain officer
He was also standing in front of another computer and turned around and said to Heidikanon.
Obviously, the situation of the 2nd Armored Regiment was very bad. Many icons representing tank crews on the computer monitor dimmed.
The captain glanced at the loss figures below and continued to report: "Twelve Type 99 main battle tanks were destroyed, and they were forced to give up and occupy the village."
The heavy armored grenadiers with powered armor can barely fight these white-robed men, but the traditional armored divisions equipped with tanks and armored vehicles are too clumsy in dealing with these white-robed men.
Even for modern main battle tanks, it is very difficult to aim the main gun when facing an opponent the size of a human.
Obviously, other weapons on the tank are not very effective in damaging the men in white robes. This is the main reason why the armored troops collapsed at the first touch.
"The other side is still chasing after us. It seems like these damn guys don't want to let us distance ourselves..." The third officer looked at the dynamic positions of the various units on the map and shouted loudly.
"Our artillery has no room to function. As soon as these enemies in white robes appear, they are within a range of about 2 kilometers to 3 kilometers. Their impact speed is very fast, and it is too late for our troops to call for artillery." The person in charge of artillery.
the officer complained.
"Order the artillery troops to retreat...if the defense line is penetrated, their safety will be seriously threatened." Heidikanon had no choice but to issue an order for the artillery troops to retreat first.
"Yes...but, General, the 1st Armored Division Artillery Regiment sent news that their 1st Battalion and 2nd Company have lost contact..." the officer in charge of artillery dispatch added.
"Then let the remaining troops retreat! Immediately! Immediately!" Heidicanon has very rich experience in facing this kind of tricky battle.
He was originally the marshal of the Norma Empire. He became famous in battles where he defeated more with less. In many local battle zones, his troops were often penetrated or defeated by his opponents.
The more he was in this situation, the more in shape he became. In fact, the previous smooth battle once made him doubt his own role. Now that this unfavorable situation occurred, he found the feeling of commanding the battle by himself.
"Yes!" The officer immediately calmed down and began tapping on the computer to issue troop dispatch orders.
"The frontal defense line of the 1st Armored Division has been penetrated...the opponent has penetrated into the depth of our defense line...let all logistics troops retreat immediately! Where is the reserve team? Where is the reserve team? Are they at the designated position?" Heidi Cannon
After realizing that his defense line had been penetrated, he immediately thought that his logistics troops were in danger.
The number of modern military and logistics support troops is even greater than the number of combatants in the frontline direct combat troops. These troops only have light weapons, which is no different from being unarmed.
Thousands of logistics supply trucks, hundreds of tons of processed equivalent magic crystals, hundreds of thousands of artillery shells, and billions of bullets and ammunition... none of these things are safe now. It's scary to think about it.
People's scalp is numb.
After all, the frontline troops still have tanks, armored vehicles, and powered exoskeletons. Most of these logistics troops only have M4 assault rifles, and they are equipped with small-caliber rifle ammunition that is obviously insufficient.
Upon hearing his question, the first major officer immediately called up the map, pointed to the location above and introduced: "The 1st Regiment of the 1st Mechanized Infantry Division is here, the 2nd Regiment is here... and here... they are all here.
Specify location."
"Let them assist the logistics troops in retreating! Concentrate as much as possible without causing confusion!" Heidicanon is an expert in retreating. He often collects broken troops, which is his strength.
However, it is clear that the current problem is more serious than he imagined. His troops were not penetrated by a small number of enemies at a certain line of defense! His troops were completely defeated by the enemy, and the entire army was collapsing!
Therefore, before his order was conveyed, bad news came through again. The officer in charge of liaison pressed his earphone and reported loudly: "The 1st Regiment of the 2nd Mechanized Infantry Division called. Their defense line has been penetrated.
They are shrinking their defense lines towards City 48."
The officer on the other line also pressed the earphone and shouted loudly: "The 2nd Regiment of the 2nd Mechanized Infantry Division called, their regiment headquarters was attacked by the enemy. The casualties were heavy, the entire unit was retreating, and the situation was quite chaotic.
"
On the front of the wide defense line of more than 70 kilometers, the three main divisions were being penetrated. This was something that could not happen in the past. Heidi Cannon frowned, thinking about how to stop these white-robed men from continuing to advance.
Now the opponent is obviously preparing to disrupt the situation with chaos and has no intention of giving his 1st Armored Corps a chance to breathe.
Having said that, this is also an inevitable result, because once his troops are allowed to withdraw and reorganize their defenses, the end of the opponent will come.
Whether it is air strikes or missile coverage, he has too many ways to destroy the opponent when the two sides are clearly differentiated. However, the opponent does not have these means, so the opponent can only adopt melee tactics to offset the long-range firepower advantage of Elan Hill.
