Chapter 1599 1600 The Forgotten Corner
His troops rushed out more than 40 kilometers in an hour, and then drove all the way, reaching the position where the dwarf troops started two days ago that day.
This attack speed has exceeded expectations, but no one cares about this at this time. The Tang Army on the left advanced too fast and had directly cut into the core of the 5th Dwarf Army. Then the entire 5th Army of the Ice Empire collapsed.
Behind them, a large number of logistics supply units, countless supplies, as well as civilian personnel, non-combatants, and heavy artillery positions... were all divided and surrounded, and became the possession of the Tang army.
After a night of fierce fighting, Feng Kezhi was shocked to learn early the next morning that they had killed the commander of the dwarf 5th Army, captured the chief of staff alive, destroyed the army's headquarters, and even captured the group's flag.
At the same time, the heavy artillery that the dwarves had no time to move, and a lot of ammunition depots in stock, including the field maintenance plant on the front line, the half-repaired radar station... all of these went into the Tang army's pocket.
Theoretically speaking, although there are still some defeated troops who are still resisting stubbornly, the designation of the 5th Army can almost be erased.
Now there are almost no dwarf troops on the front of the Tang Empire's 9th Army. As long as they advance all the way to the southeast, they will not encounter any decent resistance until they hit the dwarf 8th Army and the 7th Army.
At the same time, the 1st Army of the Tang Empire also eliminated the 6th Army of the Dwarfs that was standing in front of them.
After a day and night of assault, the Tang Army has entered the heart of the 6th Army and also turned the place upside down.
The next day, throughout the whole day, the Tang Army's helicopters were hovering above the dwarves' heads. There were fierce exchanges of fire everywhere, and the front lines in the entire area were blurred.
But his troops suffered a disaster: by nightfall the next day, more than 16,000 people of the 6th Army of the Ice Empire had been killed, and more than 60,000 people had surrendered, which was almost the same as the entire army being annihilated.
The remaining tens of thousands of remnants were routed for more than 100 kilometers in one breath. Not to mention the suburban buildings of Everwinter Port, they lost all the named towns within their jurisdiction.
That night, he had been trying to reestablish contact with the two armies and prevent this unprecedented rout.
In a state of chaos, the Tang army in a small detachment was obviously stronger. They easily defeated the resistance of the dwarves, annihilated the fleeing dwarf troops in the field ridges, and destroyed them on the side of the road.
The commander of the dwarf 6th Army was obviously smarter than the 5th Army. He simply abandoned his command post, put on makeup and ran away, thus escaping the disaster.
Binghan I, who was still rushing to the front line, received the news four hours after the Tang army counterattacked. By the time he confirmed the news, the defeat of the Binghan Empire had lasted all day.
But his efforts all night were in vain. He didn't know until the next morning how much his troops had lost or where they had retreated.
So he had to stop halfway and wait for more accurate news. He waited until noon, and the news he received almost made him vomit blood: both armies had collapsed, and the best-case scenario was no different from the annihilation of the entire army.
The commander of the 5th Army was martyred, and the whereabouts of the commander of the 6th Army are unknown... What’s even more funny is that they even lost two newly repaired field airports and more than 40 broken aircraft. Originally, these aircraft were intended to be used as reconnaissance aircraft in the subsequent counterattack, but now they have become the trophies of the Tang army.
Although they are all propeller aircraft, either MiG-3s or Saab bombers, they are not valuable things, but it is still very unpleasant to give them to the Tang people for nothing.
Compared to these planes, Binghan I still feels more sorry for his army. He couldn't understand how his nearly 300,000 troops collapsed in one day, let alone why there was intelligence showing that the Tang army appeared in those locations.
If this information is not false, it means that the Tang army advanced 150 kilometers in less than two days! Can this speed really be achieved?
In the Ice Empire, marching 150 kilometers in two days is already a very good result! But the Tang army ran at such a speed while struggling with the Ice Empire's army, which was very unbelievable.
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. He felt uncomfortable all over and fell ill halfway. His all-out counterattack, a magnificent decisive battle plan that was as continuous as the waves, could only be abandoned.
There is no way. The troops rushing to the front line are no longer able to participate in the counterattack. They can only set up a defense line at a suitable position to block the Tang army that has rushed over like a flood.
Therefore, the three forces that were originally used to attack, the 2nd Elf Army and the 8th and 9th Army of the Dwarves, now have to find a place to build a defense line first.
If you want to attack again, you have to wait until the dwarf 7th and 10th armies arrive. That distant Everwinter Port has become something that the coalition commanders have temporarily forgotten.
In the increasingly narrow encirclement of Everwinter Harbor, Moss waited in his basement for his final moments.
In the mornings of the first two days, he seemed to see hope of turning defeat into victory: everything was going according to his plan, and for a moment, he even felt that he had grasped the corner of victory.
After all, this was all something he had designed: the collapse of the Tang Army would suddenly come, and at a certain point when supply problems broke out, the seemingly invincible Tang Army would suddenly lose the war!
A few days ago, the Tang Army's performance was exactly the same as his plan: there must be a problem with the opponent's supplies, and they finally waited until the day when the Tang Army ran out of ammunition and food.
But just when he was excited, two mornings ago, he suddenly lost contact with the 6th Army, which was close at hand. Radio interference started all of a sudden, catching people off guard.
Then there was a long wait, wait... Finally, what he was waiting for was a leaflet from the Tang Army, which clearly stated the bad news that the 6th Army had been actually annihilated.
At the beginning, he didn’t believe the news, but he really had no other source of information. He could only tell his men that this was false news and encourage them to continue fighting.
As time went by, more and more evidence began to appear. The reinforcements they expected did not arrive, and they could still only fight alone in the encirclement... The Tang Army did not seem to lie, and the 6th Army might really not be able to come.
