Chapter 1542: 1543 The Collapsed Benn
Chapter 15421543 The Collapsed Benn
The completely unprepared Benen City defense troops were stunned by the sudden arrival of elite Tang troops. They did not know why the Tang troops appeared in the city, and they could not organize an effective defense at all.
Street fighting also needs to be organized. If they are just running around like guerrillas, then the troops without logistical supplies can only run around for a few hours at most.
Modern warfare requires a large amount of supplies for street fighting, so urban street fighting like Stalingrad requires a stable "rear area".
In other words, street fighting can continue only if the front can be stabilized within an acceptable range.
The dwarf officer in Benn City actually has no confidence in maintaining the battle line. He can't even find all his troops: In Benn City, the dwarves have deployed two infantry divisions, but these two infantry divisions are both light infantry divisions. , the equipment level is average, and the combat effectiveness is not strong.
Because even the least optimistic dwarf commander did not expect that the Tang army could advance the battle line to the vicinity of Benn City within three days.
General Moss even believed that the two lines of defense in front of his steel barrier could take at least three to five days for the Tang army.
Unfortunately, everything was based on his estimation. The Tang army basically broke through two lines of defense on the first day, and on the second day they were completely waiting for more of their follow-up troops to come ashore.
After waiting for more follow-up troops, the Tang army immediately launched a larger-scale attack. Such an attack disrupted the Ice Empire's pre-war combat deployment from the beginning.
"Huh, huh..." He breathed heavily as he rushed into the building where his home was located. The dwarf's building had its own style. It was three to five stories high, with a pointed roof and small windows. It looked like a bunker.
House architecture in all cold regions will maintain a similar style: small windows to better retain heat, thick walls for better warmth, and pointed roofs to make it easier to clear snow. …
Hearing his shouts, the civilians living in the building opened their doors one after another. They saw their neighbors with blood on their faces, and they were shocked and at a loss.
Such buildings can easily become bunkers and bunkers in war. They are very strong and can easily survive artillery fire. They can even remain standing even if they are directly hit by artillery shells.
"Hurry up... pack... your things! Humans... are coming!" He stepped on the wooden stairs, making a creaking sound, and shouted loudly as he went upstairs.
Hurrying all the way home from the airport, the dwarf working in Benn City felt that his breath was almost blowing away his beard. It is tradition for dwarves to grow beards. Ninety-nine out of a hundred dwarves have beards, and one has a short beard.
"Where's Tommy? Buck! Where's my Tommy?" My husband went out with his neighbor, and now only the neighbor ran back. The trembling voice of the fat female dwarf living downstairs echoed in the corridor.
"I don't know! There were gunshots everywhere. I ran back desperately. I don't know where Tommy is or what happened to him." As he went upstairs, the dwarf who called Buck shouted angrily.
Of course he would not know that Tommy had been beaten to death beside the airport runway. Even if he knew, he would not be able to answer in this situation. What he has to do now is to go home quickly, let his wife pack her luggage, and run out of Benn City in the other direction before the Tang Dynasty attacks.
There was a flurry of excitement in the corridor, and on the road outside the building, a jeep with the iceberg emblem of the Frozen Empire painted on the engine hood drove by staggeringly. The officer in the car was so nervous that he didn't even know whether his command headquarters was still there...
This officer is the commander of one of the two infantry divisions deployed by the dwarves in Benn City. He just went to a meeting and said that the Tang Army had occupied a field airport 20 kilometers away and asked them to suspend repairs in Benn City. airport.
After all, it is about to become a frontline city, so the airport will naturally no longer play any role. Repairing it will be in vain. It is better to save some energy and build some defensive fortifications.
Yes, the airport construction is suspended, but more bunkers and trenches need to be repaired to prevent the Tang army from seizing Benn City.
But just after the meeting was over, the Tang army rushed over - who could have known that the other side was so fast? Could it be that the dwarf troops along the way were just for show?
According to past combat experience, the field troops will gradually be unable to support themselves and then be defeated and return to the city. Those troops who have been fighting for a long time in ragged clothes and with low morale will merge with the garrison troops in the city and then form a new army in the city. line of defense.
The enemy will not attack such a city easily. They will surround the city and start bombardment, prepare for a few days, and then try to surround the city and destroy the city's determination to resist.
Finally, among the ruins left by the shelling, the two sides started fighting in the streets. The weaker side fought hard until they ran out of ammunition and food, and finally surrendered to win the respect of their opponents...
But what the **** is this? On a battlefield full of dwarf field troops, the Tang Army's troops advanced more than 20 kilometers a day? Isn't this a joke? Can the dwarf troops march so fast?
While the jeep was swaying and running wildly on the streets full of rioters and refugees, a Black Hawk helicopter passed through the buildings and discovered the target on the ground.
It slowed down and passed sideways over the fuselage. In the hidden side hatch, a Tang Army soldier holding a machine gun began to fire.
Golden bullet casings fell off the plane one by one, as if there was a golden rain, and tracer bullets were densely packed, forming a deadly wall.
The jeep was turned into a sieve in an instant, the glass was shattered instantly, and a row of bullet holes was left on the engine hood. Blood sprayed on the broken glass, and the car lost control and crashed into the outer wall of the building nearby.
With a loud noise, the car was completely twisted and paralyzed on the side of the road. A body in the car fell from the passenger seat, holding a document bag in his hand. That was the division commander's adjutant, and of course he was also in the car.
The sudden appearance of the helicopter made the scene even more chaotic. The defeated soldiers on the side ran wildly into the surrounding alleys without any resistance at all. The civilians who fled in a hurry also fled with their heads in their hands, screaming and scattering like birds and beasts.
A few minutes later, the Tang Army's Type 96 main battle tank drove past the scrapped jeep. Xiang Ziyu followed the tank with his soldiers. He turned his head and saw the white sheets floating in the windows next to him. …
