Eight hundred and twentieth seventh chapter Hengao tacit understanding
This is a street battle. Even if one's own side has an absolute advantage, even if the entire city is blown into ruins, the attacking troops are still vulnerable to ambushes by the enemy, resulting in heavy casualties.
After all, many buildings in Andan City are made of masonry structures, and there are also many cement buildings. Even if these buildings are destroyed by artillery shells, they can still be used as the best bunkers after being turned into ruins for the defending soldiers.
Hide behind and fire.
In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, Lieutenant Commander Ye Weiming did not easily send ordinary infantrymen from the 16th Division forward to participate in street fighting.
Coincidentally, the Orissa people also allowed more than 10,000 people from the King's Army faction to take the lead, while they themselves retreated to the second line.
In fact, the Orissa people are now preparing to retreat.
Andan can't hold on any longer!
This is the conclusion that Orissa came to on the first day after the fighting broke out.
The artillery of the Daheng Army was too fierce, and the ammunition depot in the port area was destroyed. Not only the ammunition depot, but also the grain warehouses were destroyed, leaving only a few small temporary ammunition and grain warehouses in the city.
, this can’t last even a few days.
At the same time, our own material transport ships were unable to approach the dock to unload under the threat of long-range artillery fire from the Daheng people.
When their army asked the navy to provide artillery support, they were also rejected by the Orissa Empire Navy.
To be precise, it was not the refusal of the Orissa Empire's navy, but the high-level officials of the Orissa Empire had long ago issued an order that the war in the Dynasty Kingdom should be controlled in scale, and the navy's task was to continue to block the endless straits and control and defend the home coast.
Without direct orders from the top of the empire, you are not allowed to participate in the war on the Tanner Kingdom side without permission.
Why did the army fight, but the navy didn't?
This is because both the Orissa Empire and the Daheng people are covering their ears, using the method of changing nationalities and using civilian volunteers at the same time, and both sides have a tacit agreement to dispatch an infantry division as the core to assist some artillery units.
Participating troops.
On the surface, the warring parties are not the Daheng Empire and the Orissa Empire, but still a civil war between the Tanner people.
However, if the navy also participates in the war, the nature will be completely different.
The navy of the Orissa Empire cannot change its nationality and become a Tanner navy. Even if it were changed, the Daheng people would not recognize it.
Once the Orissa Empire's navy moves, the Daheng people's navy will also move. It will be difficult to control the scale of the war. Once the scale of the war cannot be controlled, then the Daheng people's naval fleet may not come to the Endless Strait to bombard Andan.
Instead, they will run directly to the coast of the Orissa Empire and directly bombard the coastal cities of the Orissa Empire.
In addition to controlling the scale of the war, another important factor is that the Tanner King Zhou Qi they support is obviously too scumbag. He has basically lost all other parts of the Danner Kingdom, leaving only Andan City. Even this one
There are no people left in Andan City, only tens of thousands of troops are left to resist here.
The Danner War has been defeated. Although they are unwilling to admit it, the Orissa people are also very aware of this civil war in Danner, and their Orissa Empire has become the loser.
If you want to take back the Tanner Kingdom, you need to continue to increase the number of Andan troops and expand the war.
But how many troops do we need to send?
One hundred thousand?
Damn it, the fourth legion of the Daheng people transferred the remaining troops, and the total strength was more than 100,000.
Two hundred thousand?
Three hundred thousand?
Even half a million?
Still not enough!
The Daheng people are just around the corner. The Daheng people can send hundreds of thousands of troops down without mobilization. They can mobilize millions of troops and come down at will.
If you can mobilize, the Daheng people can also mobilize, and they will definitely mobilize more troops and more artillery than your Orissa Empire.
Because the population of the Daheng people is almost three times that of the Orissa Empire, the industrial output is more than five times that of the Orissa Empire, and its main steel and coal output is even higher than that of the Orissa Empire.
Although they are all known as the eight powerful countries on Blue Star, they are all industrial countries.
But for both industrial countries, the difference is huge. The steel output of the Daheng people is more than 14 million tons, but the Orissa Empire? It is only about 1.2 million tons, a gap of more than ten times.
!
They are both the eight major powers on Blue Star, but in fact the strength gap between these eight major powers is very large. The Kingdom of Krul and the Daheng Empire are the first echelon, while Kekel and Valia are the second echelon.
Garfia and Orissa are in the third echelon, while Oran and Iboan are in the fourth echelon.
The strength gap between each echelon is huge.
The gap in national strength will directly affect war strength.
Without a sufficient population and a huge industrial system, it is impossible to maintain a large army equipped with advanced weapons.
If the Orissa people can mobilize two million troops to participate in the war, the Daheng Empire can easily mobilize five million or more troops to participate in the war.
There is a huge gap in the war strength between the two sides.
Moreover, your Orissa Empire is separated by an endless strait that is dozens of kilometers wide. Both personnel and supplies need to be transported by ship. If the Daheng people really have a war with the Orissa Empire, they will probably send engineering troops directly to the scene to divide the war.
A temporary military railway going south to the Endless Strait will be built in minutes.
Another more critical thing is that the Orissa Empire Navy does not have enough confidence to completely block the Endless Strait. After all, the Endless Strait is called a strait, but in fact the width is mostly tens of kilometers. Such a wide strait cannot be blocked with current technology.
It is simply impossible to use shore defense artillery to conduct a direct blockade.
There are only two ways to completely block it. One is to throw down countless mines to completely block the Endless Strait. But if the Orisa Empire dares to do this, other countries such as the Krul Kingdom and the Kekel Empire will probably go crazy.
.
The Endless Strait is a very busy waterway. The ships that come and go are not limited to the ships of the Daheng and Orissa Empires. Ships from all countries will basically sail here. If you Orissa people block it indiscriminately, the navy of the Krul Kingdom will be afraid.
It is to directly bombard the Orissa Empire mainland!
The second is to use warships to block the Endless Strait, but this is actually very difficult.
The Daheng people's fleet is now far more powerful than the Orissa Empire's navy.
As for the Orissa Empire, there are only a few battleships equipped with hardened armor currently in service.
But the Daheng Empire has dozens of ships, including twelve Kelan-class armored cruisers. It is very troublesome for the Orissa Empire to deal with just these Kelan-class armored cruisers.
So when there is a real fight, the Orissa Empire Navy actually does not have much confidence in completely blocking the Endless Strait and preventing the Daheng Empire Navy from entering or exiting.
