Chapter 1516: 1517 Dwarf version of self-imposed cocoon

In the dwarf's general headquarters, an officer said anxiously to Moss: "Your Excellency General! The situation has been confirmed. The Tang Army has indeed come ashore, and its scale is not small. The other party has used some special devices, which can be seen clearly in the dark night. Far away. They succeeded in the sneak attack and the 5th position was lost."

Although Yongdong Port has not been directly attacked by the Tang army, everyone knows that this is likely to be a sign that the Tang army is seeking to seize the port.

Everyone is very nervous. The forts in Everwinter Port have been put on alert, and the destroyer fleet deployed at the port has also gone to sea. They don't want to be blocked in the port and annihilated.

Knowing that things were somewhat out of his control, Moss sighed helplessly at Tang Jun's surprise: "It seems that Tang Jun has taught us another lesson... How are the preparations for the counterattack?"

After hearing Moss' question, the adjutant immediately reported: "On the second line of defense, we have mobilized 3,000 soldiers and launched a counterattack to retake the 5th position, but so far, we have not achieved any decent results. "

This may be an example of cruel self-entrapment in reality. The dwarves built strong fortifications, and then these fortifications were occupied by the Tang army, and now they have become a strong fortress that the dwarf troops cannot attack.

The Tang Army relied on those reinforced concrete bunkers to hold on, and the dwarves really didn't have any good way to deal with it for a while.

These bunkers and defense lines are almost circular, with perforations at 360 degrees. They were designed to deal with the situation after being surrounded by the Tang army, so it is not easy to break through these solid buildings from behind. Easy things.

Although the dwarves have the advantage of being familiar with the terrain, it is offset by the Tang Army's advanced weapons and equipment. In these small places, the Tang Army's grenade launchers and C4 explosives have unparalleled lethality.

“Yes, we have built such a strong defense line, we will definitely encounter a lot of trouble when we counterattack.” Moss smiled bitterly. Of course, he knew how terrible his defenses were.

Let Moss attack such a defensive line. He has no particularly good way at all. He can only use human lives to fill this big hole until it is filled.

Even he could not fill it: if the siege could not be divided, and the siege continued for a long time, the situation would be much worse if the garrison stationed in these fortresses could be supplied.

Of course, the Tang Army has a way. The ground-penetrating bombs that have been prepared long ago can easily penetrate the ceilings of these fortifications, even if the thickness of the ceiling is sometimes as high as 3 meters or even 5 meters. Moreover, Tang Army's bombs are very accurate. They can generally be guided by televisions, and some are equipped with laser seekers that can track laser indicating signals.

The Tang Army's special forces have laser designating equipment in their hands. They can indicate targets for their own aircraft to attack, especially those immobile turtle shells.

 The dwarves or other countries do not have such precision-guided munitions, so even if there are artillery that can destroy such fortifications, their accuracy may not be sufficient.

 Those heavy artillery with a caliber of more than 200 mm can only rely on railway mobility in most cases. If they are to be used in critical battles, they must at least wait until the railway is connected and close to the front line. With the construction capabilities of the dwarves, it is estimated that it will take two or three months to deal with a similar group of bunkers.

The officer on the side knew that the number of losses on the front line was staggering, and asked Moss nervously: "Then, general, do we still need to continue to fight back?"

 For Moss, the casualties of soldiers are just a statistic. He does not care about the losses, but he cares about whose hands the position is. So he immediately said firmly: "A counterattack is necessary, but it is not all bad for the enemy to attack the shore. As long as the opponent comes ashore, it means that they have no possibility of retreat. We did not wait for the paratroopers of the Tang Army, but When the landing troops arrive... all this seems to be within our expectations. "

Moss was waiting for the three-blade axes from the Tang Army at first, but now the airborne troops have not waited. The Tang Army has simplified the three-blade axes into two-blade axes, which is not beyond Moss's expectation.

Since only one step has been simplified, it seems that the countermeasures do not need to be modified. We just need to wait for tomorrow morning and let each force continue to respond according to the original plan.

What he didn’t know was that the Tang Army’s paratrooper airdrop was not cancelled, but only slightly delayed. Because the Tang Army used a new type of transport aircraft, the range was much farther than Moss had inferred, so the aircraft formation had more time in the air.

After hearing that the artillery fleet on the southern flank of the Tang Navy had been attacked and that the dwarves' preparations were relatively good, the Tang Army's airborne commanders immediately decided to postpone the parachute jump for half an hour.

 So, the paratroopers who were originally expected to start parachuting around 4 o'clock now have to wait until around 4:30 to start taking action.

Bernard's meaning was also very obvious. After learning that the dwarves discovered the landing of the special forces, he planned to let the beach side attract the attention of the dwarves first.

In fact, this is indeed the case. Moss, the dwarf's frontline commander, indeed began to shift his attention from waiting for the Tang Army's paratroopers to annihilating the Tang Army's landing.

He began to mobilize troops and mobilized troops from the rear to concentrate on the front. In the process, the Tang Army's air raids continued. The terrifying destructive power destroyed a large number of dwarf troops who were forced to start moving, causing them to suffer heavy losses.

 At about 4:35, the 76 transport plane loaded with Tang Army paratroopers arrived over the dwarf defense forces, and then they began a large-scale parachute drop.

The number was even greater than Moss estimated. The Tang Army invested three divisions of paratroopers in one go, and almost 30,000 people were directly thrown into the corresponding positions.

Because there are detailed satellite reconnaissance photos, the landing locations of these Tang troops were chosen relatively well. They were not very close to the key defense areas of the dwarves, making it easier to assemble; but they were not too far away, which allowed them to organize an attack and capture as soon as possible after gathering. important transportation node.

The large number of parachutes naturally attracted the attention of the dwarf troops. The dwarf air defense troops, who had been alert all night, began artillery bombardment. However, they did not achieve very good results and only shot down a dozen Tang Army transport planes.

 Most of the anti-aircraft gun positions had been cleared by the Tang army before the paratroopers began to take action. Enough cluster bombs covered the suspicious area, and the dwarves' anti-aircraft firepower was also weakened a lot.

Now, the Tang Army’s three axes have been defeated...
