Chapter 1513: 1514 Position No. 5
The soldier subconsciously waved his arms to try to struggle, but he found that he had lost all his strength almost instantly. He could see the tip of the knife on his chest re-entering his body, and then he could see it protruding from another position...
Immediately afterwards, he fell to the ground. The cold ground was wet, and it should be his blood. He felt like he was being dragged a few steps, and then he knew nothing.
In the general headquarters of the Ice Empire, Moss grabbed the phone and reported the situation on the front line to His Majesty the Emperor who was far away in the imperial capital: "Yes, Your Majesty, the Tang Army's air strikes were much stronger than we expected, and many of our facilities were destroyed. Yes...but everything is still within the bearable range. Yes, yes, Your Majesty...I am waiting for the Tang Army's air raid to end, and the troops deployed on the second line are waiting for their paratroopers."
"Long live my emperor!" After hanging up the phone, Moss looked at the waiting adjutant and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Reporting to the general, there are new changes on the battlefield." The adjutant reported nervously: "The Tang army dispatched warships and began to bombard the coastal defenses... This has never happened in previous battles."
As he spoke, he pointed on the map: "Here, and here, the opponent used large-caliber artillery, probably a battleship."
Two o'clock? Moss looked at where the adjutant was pointing and wondered why Tang Jun chose these two points to attack. Could it be that you want to focus on attacking these two places tomorrow morning?
Of course he could not have guessed that the Tang Dynasty's warships focused their artillery fire on these two positions to block the possible movement of the dwarf coastal defense troops and ensure the safety of the Tang Army's special forces in the middle of these two points.
“General, the Tang Dynasty’s large warships are approaching and firing, should we fight back?” the adjutant asked tentatively.
Moss touched his eyebrows and fell into thinking: he could not decide whether to invest in speedboat troops to counterattack.
Torpedo boats at night are still very effective in offshore waters. They are fast and do not need to get close to attack. As long as they throw the torpedoes far away, the opponent's warships that are almost parked in order to ensure the accuracy of the bombardment will definitely suffer.
But he hoped that the little power he had could be used on Tang's aircraft carriers: if a miracle happened and several Tang aircraft carriers were sunk, the situation of the war would be turned around immediately.
Moss slapped his cheek with his hand. Moss knew that he must not be too greedy. The opponent's aircraft carrier fleet is of course the most valuable, but it can't be easily exposed. Sometimes it's enough to get a little advantage, but you can't want everything.
After thinking about it, he rubbed his face with his hands, rubbed his eyes, and decisively ordered: "Let the speedboat troops attack! The submarine troops also join the battle! Attack the southernmost Tang Army fleet at all costs! "
"Don't hesitate! Use up all the torpedoes you carry! Even if you can't sink the enemy ship, you must force the enemy ship to give up and continue bombarding our coastal positions!" He said as he looked at the map and looked at the shelled position to the south. .
No matter what Tang Jun wants to do, he should try to stop the opponent. It had been going on for almost half the night, and Tang Jun's three-axe made no movement after just the first blow. Such an abnormal situation made Moss more and more vigilant.
He felt that he had to do something to disrupt the Tang army's deployment. After all, if everything goes according to Tang Jun's script, he will only become more and more passive.
On the dark sea, the dwarf torpedo boat troops, who had escaped disaster by hiding in hidden bunkers during the day, began to take action. They started their engines and rushed towards the Tang fleet hundreds of kilometers away. With their high speed, these torpedo boats can be deployed 200 kilometers away from the battlefield: it only takes two or three hours for them to arrive at the combat zone, which is one of their major advantages.
In comparison, ordinary warships do not have such a flexible deployment method: if they are deployed too far away, they will not be able to reach the battlefield in time; if they are deployed too close, they will be easily destroyed by air strikes.
After issuing the speedboat attack order, Moss's uneasiness became more and more intense. He looked at his watch and saw that it was almost 3 o'clock in the morning. Logically speaking, the Tang Army's airborne troops should be about to parachute.
But he didn't know whether the other party would come, how much he would come, how he would come... Waiting is the most annoying thing, and Moss feels that he is becoming more and more anxious and suspicious.
Walked to the phone, he grabbed the phone and ordered: "Get me the No. 5 position!" The No. 5 position he mentioned was the position between the two artillery positions of the Tang Army.
Moss is still a little worried. He thinks that he should remind the defenders here that the Tang army is likely to land on both sides of position 5 during the day tomorrow, focusing on attacking the dwarf garrison in position 5.
"Can't get through, general." On the other side of the phone, the operator reported the situation with some embarrassment: "Maybe the air raid blew up the phone line."
Tonight, there are many places where calls cannot be made. Some are because the other party is using the phone and cannot be connected, and some are due to the bombing of the Tang Army, which did damage some infrastructure.
However, although there are many such situations, for Moss, who has already become suspicious, the fact that the phone call at Position 5 cannot be reached seems to indicate a lot of problems.
Even from the most reassuring point of view, it is already very dangerous to blow up the telephone line of Position 5, prevent Position 5 from calling for help, and delay the speed of reinforcements from the Ice Empire.
So Moss immediately looked at the adjutant and ordered: "Send the signal troops immediately to send the message to Position 5! Remind them that the phone line has been cut off, and the Tang Army is likely to land where they are..."
At this point, Moss seemed to realize something. He looked at the two Tang Army artillery points that had just been marked with red pen on the map, and became furious: "Asshole! They may have started to land!"
As he spoke, he grabbed the phone and gave a loud order: "Hello! I'm General Moss! Get me the 2nd line and No. 5 position! Immediately! Quick! Hello! I'm Moss! Send the reserve team out immediately ! Enter the front line position No. 5! If the Tang Army is attacking there, you will hold the position as reinforcements. If the Tang Army is not attacking, then you will stay there and wait for new orders!"
"Yes!" On the other side of the phone, the dwarf officer who heard the seriousness of the situation agreed immediately. After hanging up the phone, he ordered the officer on duty: "Assemble the 340th Regiment who are on standby to rest immediately! Enter the front-line position No. 5 !”
