Chapter 1544 1545 The two divisions that cannot move
"What do the idiots on this road do for food?" Before it was completely dark, Moss received a definite message: Benn was attacked by the Tang Army.
He walked to the map in his headquarters and carefully looked at the distance between Benn and the coastline - it was really a straight line distance of nearly 30 kilometers. The Tang Army covered this distance in less than three days. A long distance!
It is less than 10 kilometers from Position 5 to that **** field airport, and this field airport is more than 20 kilometers away from Benn.
As a result, such a long distance and so many fortifications could not be sustained for even a day, and they were destroyed by the Tang army.
The more serious problem is that because the Tang army advanced too fast, the dwarves were not prepared for everything that followed. There is a large amount of valuable military supplies stored in Benn City, and there is no time to distribute or destroy them.
Originally, these supplies were stored here, ready to be replenished to the defenders on the front line nearby as the war progressed. The result is now good, Tang Jun has defeated Benn!
Benn's supplies were not buried with explosives, and there was no time to destroy them. When he first dispersed the supplies, he did not consider the problem that the Tang army would directly take away the supplies so close to the front line.
"General, we have to find a way..." the adjutant persuaded with some worry: "Once the Tang Army takes the initiative, Yongdong Port will not be safe."
This is a problem that the Ice Empire has always been worried about: the Tang Army's landing operations have always been a routine. This routine is not only limited to the battle for the beachhead, but also the methods and methods of subsequent landing operations.
After seizing the beachhead, the Tang Army would often immediately set its next target at a nearby port. As long as the port is captured, the Tang army will have more stable logistical support, and subsequent battles will be easier.
Obviously, within the steel walls of the Ice Empire, the only port worthy of attack by the Tang Empire was Eternal Winter Port.
"In the direction of Benn, let the nearby 4th Armored Division deploy troops to support it! Even if there is only half of the city, I must hold it! Hold it at all costs!" Moss ignored the matter of Everwinter Port and spoke. An order was issued to fight for Benn.
"In addition, when will the Air Force reinforcements start fighting? I need a lot of planes! A lot of planes! Destroy the Tang Army's armored forces at all costs! This is our only chance!" Moss said something like Roaring, he had been waiting for his own air force to launch a counterattack, but in three days, the dwarf's air force had almost no effect.
He cannot afford the consequences of Benn's loss. If the Tang Army really controls Benn, then the Tang Army may receive support from the frontline air force in the future. This will undoubtedly make the situation of the dwarves worse.
The Tang Army's attack on this day focused on the deep areas of the dwarves. Many cities were bombed, and many airports were further damaged.
Originally, he did not rely so much on air force, but his ground troops were really unable to hold the position according to the pre-plan, so he could only place his hopes on others.
The Dwarf Air Force risked their lives to dispatch, but only 110 aircraft were dispatched on this day, which was completely incomparable with the number of aircraft of the Tang Dynasty Navy and Air Force.
During this day, more than 60 dwarf pilots were killed and more than 80 aircraft were lost. The air force of the Ice Empire could already be described as suffering heavy losses.
They lost at least 400 aircraft in three days of fighting, and this number did not include the Saab bombers and other types of junk that were destroyed on the ground. This kind of loss speed is no longer something that the air force of ordinary countries can bear, and the Ice Empire cannot bear such a terrifying loss speed.
"General, the air force has suffered heavy losses, and more than half of the torpedo boats we deployed in the bunker have been lost... The current situation is already very passive." The adjutant reminded again in frustration.
Moss was also very irritable. Almost all of his pre-battle judgments were wrong. The Tang Army's three axes were not launched in sequence, and the Tang Army's landing operation was hardly hindered.
The dwarves' pre-war preparations have all failed, and all that's left is the troops on both sides fighting with their lives on the battlefield to achieve a result.
Moss felt that his mouth was about to turn into desert. He grabbed the water glass next to him and drank all the boiling water in the glass. Then he felt better: "Order the 15th Infantry Division near Benn to counterattack! No matter what. What are they doing? Counterattack in the direction of Benn! Drive the Tang army out of the city!"
The 4th Armored Division of the Ice Empire has been fighting against the Tang paratroopers before, and it is not too far away from Benn. This is an elite unit of the dwarves with pretty good combat effectiveness.
As for the 15th Infantry Division, it can be considered a relatively elite combat force in the hands of the dwarves. They are to the west of Benn, close to positions 1-3.
In Moss’s view, the two troops were both near Benn, and the longest distance was no more than 5 kilometers. As long as these troops take action immediately, the Tang army that is attacking Benn will inevitably fall into a hard fight.
However, as Moss issued orders one by one, feedback was quickly sent back to the headquarters of Everwinter City: the 15th Infantry Division was attacked from two sides and was unable to move; the 4th Armored Division was also suppressed by air strikes, and there was almost no way to reinforce it. Benn.
Starting from position No. 4, the 1st Marine Division of the Tang Dynasty Empire, which broke into the dwarf defense line, is storming the defense line stationed by the 15th Dwarf Division.
It is already very difficult for the dwarf troops of the 15th Division to hold the defense line. How can they still mobilize troops to support other places?
The Dwarves’ 4th Armored Division has long been concerned by Tang’s air power because it has been following the Tang Army’s paratroopers: Whether it was a combat requirement or simply to vent their hatred, the Tang Army’s aircraft launched a ferocious attack on the Dwarves’ 4th Armored Division.
The 4th Armored Division, which originally had more heavy weapons, suffered heavy losses and lost half of its tanks. Although they still did not retreat and were still fighting against the Tang Army's paratroopers, they no longer had any extra troops to support Benn.
What's more...is Ben still worthy of support?
At this moment, the voice of Commander-in-Chief Tiger was heard on various channels of the Tang Army: "Brave soldiers of the Tang Dynasty! Benn is already under our control! Long live our emperor! Victory belongs to the Tang Empire!"
“Long live my emperor!” Cheers echoed in every corner of the battlefield. The soldiers of the Tang Army celebrated their victory with the loudest voices.
