Chapter 1543 1544 We are the paratroopers of the Tang Dynasty
"What happened? How did the Tang Army appear near Benn?" In Benn's town hall, a dwarf general asked the officers around him angrily.
They have just received the exact news that Tang Army tanks have appeared near a factory outside the city. Benn's defense line is crumbling, or has collapsed.
"No one can explain the specific situation clearly. It's just that their infantry and tanks worked so well together that our defense line was simply vulnerable." The officer helplessly answered the general's question.
No one among the officers of the Ice Empire could have guessed that the Tang Army could easily take out bunkers with large-caliber rockets mounted on helicopters, and no one knew that the large number of anti-aircraft guns they had deployed would be extremely powerful under the fierce air strikes of the Tang Army. Save one.
Those concealed anti-aircraft gun bunkers were marked by the Tang Army from the time they were built. Even if they were later disguised, they could not fool the Tang Army's various sophisticated observation equipment.
Frankly speaking, once it enters the night, the temperature of the weapons and equipment is not the same as the surrounding environment at all, and the dwarves cannot hide so many blazing barrels even if they want to.
After losing a large number of anti-aircraft guns, the Tang Army's helicopters flowed unimpeded on the battlefield. The damage capabilities of these helicopters are really strong, and they can hover in the air. Their suppression power is obviously unmatched by fixed-wing aircraft.
Helicopters are not obsolete when facing intensive ground anti-aircraft firepower, but require stronger protection from the air force.
As long as these helicopters can be made to hover in the sky, the Tang Army's attack speed cannot be slowed down at all.
The reaction speeds of both sides were not at the same level at all. By the end of the fight on the dwarf side, there were very few soldiers who even fired back.
Within a minute or two at most, the heavy firepower of the Tang State would overwhelm these exposed fortifications. Without the protection of these bunker fortifications, the defense line composed of dwarf soldiers would be as fragile as paper.
There were too many dwarf defenses destroyed by rockets, grenades and individual weapons. Those bunkers that had high hopes actually only played a little role in delaying the Tang army's advance.
Everyone was busy surrendering because they really didn't want to fight the monsters: the bombs dropped by the Tang army's planes were so varied and powerful that the dwarves regarded the Tang people as monsters.
But now these firepower points are just like giving away for free. If the dwarf soldiers inside dare to fire, they will be destroyed in a few seconds.
General Moss originally hoped that these bunkers could be used as support points to hold on for a few days, causing the Tang army to fall into a bitter battle.
If you surrender slowly, you may be killed directly. Therefore, the dwarf soldiers along the way either collapsed and retreated, or raised their hands to surrender. After a day and night of fierce attacks, the Tang Army easily approached Benn, a crucial point in the middle of the dwarf defense line.
"How about relying on the city to continue to resist? Let the troops enter people's houses and hold on for one day at all costs! You know, we have friendly forces on all sides. As long as we hold off the Tang army, reinforcements will arrive soon." Mayor Benn I still want to make the final resistance.
Originally, the Dwarf Ice Empire also used the city lord system, but later they learned from the Tang Dynasty system and changed the title of the city lord into a more honorable mayor. It is a pity that because of the deep-rooted aristocratic system, the person who serves as the mayor is still a famous local noble, and the mayor's authority is basically unchanged.
"Sir, I can't contact the headquarters of the two infantry divisions now." The general shook his head helplessly and explained: "The troops in the north of the city are okay, but there is no news in the south. The chaos has spread. I have no idea. There is no way to make a judgment and no way to issue any orders.”
As the city defense commander, he certainly knew that Benn was not prepared for defense at all. The warehouses here are stacked with all kinds of supplies, and there are family members of military officers and civilian personnel everywhere.
This place has always been used as a reserve warehouse and material distribution node. It has no way to fight. The entire process of preparing for battle takes time, but it is already too late.
The high-ranking dwarf officials guarding the city hall were in a mess. Some wanted to leave, while others were ready to stick to their posts. Documents were scattered on the ground, and no one cared about confidentiality issues.
Because of the rush, no one even ordered the burning of documents, and no one ordered a warning around the city hall. Everything was still in the same state as it was a day ago, and no one even repaired the glass windows that were damaged in the bombing.
"There is news that the Tang Army has entered the city, and some people said that they saw human infantry in the warehouse area." An officer came over and brought the latest news he had inquired about: "There is no reliable statement. The 2nd Guards in the south There is still no news from the teacher.”
"Damn it...how could it be like this..." the dwarf mayor complained, and then he saw his men pushing the door open in the distance.
This municipal official came over in a hurry and reported that their communication was still having serious problems: "The phone can't be reached, there is too much interference on the radio, and there is no way to receive a reply."
In the room outside, while guarding the door, someone could be heard grabbing the phone and asking loudly: "Hey! Hey! Speak clearly! Speak clearly! What is a white flag? Hello! Hello?"
Soon, the door was pushed open again, and an officer walked in. He lowered his voice and reported to his superior: "Someone saw someone hanging up white sheets in the south of the city. I don't know if it is true or not... The news has not been confirmed... "
"What?" The dwarf general, who had not yet figured out whether the Tang army had entered the city or not, frowned and looked at his men: "White sheets? What's going on?"
“Bang!” Just as the room was in chaos, a crisp gunshot sounded outside the window. Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then looked out the window subconsciously.
A 96 main battle tank knocked down the courtyard wall, ran over a car that was scrapped in the air raid, and lay across the courtyard of the city hall.
Everyone in the room was so frightened that they quickly took a step back, as if this would make them safer. Immediately afterwards, no one came to report the situation, because the door was pushed open, and the heavily armed Tang Army paratroopers rushed in. After killing several officers who tried to reach for the pistols on their waists, the scene suddenly became audible. .
“We are the paratroopers of the Tang Dynasty!” Xiang Ziyu kicked away the pistol next to a corpse and said coldly.
