Chapter 1602 Chapter 1603 The situation gradually becomes clear
The 1st and 9th Group Armies performed so well on the front line that Ying'an, the commander of the 11th Group Army who arrived later, was a little confused.
He thought he was here for reinforcements, but found out that he was almost here to take advantage. The Tang army had already gained the upper hand, and there was no suspense in the rest of the battle.
It will take some time for the 11th Armored Division to land ashore, but the 11th Infantry Division has already landed. The Tang Army has received unprecedented reinforcements in the eastern continent, and driving the Tang Army into the sea has become a complete joke.
Troops from afar are disembarking in an orderly manner, and most of the troops are undergoing adaptive training in the rear. Only a small number of troops from the 11th Army arrived at the front line to familiarize themselves with the enemy's situation on the opposite side.
Tang paratroopers control the important port of Everwinter City, and engineers are also repairing the damaged dock in an orderly manner. Hundreds of warehouses have been restored to function, and countless supplies are stored here.
As time passed, the field airport built by the Tang Army outside Yongdong City was also put into use: this airport relieved the operating pressure of Benn Airport, allowing the Tang Army to take off from a place less than 300 kilometers away from the front line, saving a lot of money. of oil.
Although the Tang Army's Yinglong fighter has a terrifying combat radius, it may be a good thing to save some fuel after all. The Tang aircraft taking off from the frontline field airport could cover a frighteningly large area.
The floating dock far away from the landing area is somewhat unused, and the tide has caused damage to these temporary structures.
However, the Tang Army no longer relied on these docks to turn over its own transportation. After emergency repairs, a dock in Yongdong Port has been restored to use. The Tang Army can disembark from here much faster than before.
Today's frontline command is still a mess. Everyone is minding their own business. There are a lot of coordinated actions, but the counterattack plan has been delayed.
Another embarrassing thing for the Ice Empire is that their emperor fell ill on the way to the front line, making the imperial conquest a complete joke.
The 8th Army of the Ice Empire finally stabilized its position on the right wing, and the 2nd Elf Army was also building a defense line on the left wing. Everyone was defending, while the Tang Army was repairing the crucial Everwinter Port.
"This is not the way to go..." Elf General Van Kruse, who arrived at the headquarters of the 8th Army of the Ice Empire by car, expressed his opinion as soon as he entered the door.
After three days of confirmation, the Ice Empire finally no longer doubted that their former frontline commander, Admiral Moss, who had made great contributions to the Ice Empire, died in the Port of Everwinter.
The air transport capabilities of the Tang Army, which has several airports, have also been significantly improved. The coalition forces, which have suffered consecutive defeats, no longer seem to believe that the Tang Army's logistical supplies are in trouble.
His words were greatly agreed with by Truman, the commander of the dwarf 8th Army. He also felt that such passive defense was not a good choice.
So he nodded and said: "You are right, General Van Kruse! If we waste more time, the situation may become even worse."
"The Tang people are repairing the port destroyed by General Moss... If they succeed, then supplies will not be a problem for them." Truman said while tapping the Eternal Winter on the map with his thick finger. The location of the port: "We must find a way to recapture Everwinter Port." Van Cruise looked at the map, sneered in his heart, but said: "It's easy to say, now we are close to 300 kilometers away from Everwinter Harbor, and we can defeat the Tang Army. Who can force the opponent to retreat 300 kilometers with their own defense line?”
He is not trying to argue, but in the past ten years or so, the Tang Army has no record of retreating 300 kilometers: if the Tang Army does not take the initiative to retreat, no one can drive them out of the position.
"But we have to give it a try, otherwise, there will only be more and more failures." Truman raised his head and looked at Van Kruse, and said seriously: "Once the Tang Army really establishes a firm foothold, it will be eternal winter." If the potential of the port is developed, then when the Ice Empire collapses, it will be time for the elves to worry about their own borders."
“Are you threatening me?” Van Kruse asked in a long voice with some dissatisfaction.
"No, I'm just reminding you. This war is just the beginning, not the end! If the war is not extinguished here, it will burn to every corner of the Eastern Continent!" Truman did not flinch, but looked at Van Kruu Si's eyes said so.
Van Kruse is a smart man. Of course he knows that what Truman said is true, but he is still unwilling to follow Truman's hint and take risks with the Elf Second Army.
"The 8th Army will launch a counterattack first, trying to break through the junction between the 1st and 9th Army of the Tang Army... If we can advance 50 kilometers, how about asking the Elf troops to follow up and protect our flanks?" He looked at it and said When nothing came of it, Truman backed down and decided to let his troops attack first.
He knew that if he continued to argue like this, there would be no result until the end of the world. And when he invited Van Kruse over this time, he actually wanted to discuss a result with the local government.
There is no commander-in-chief on the front line, and Binghan I fell ill halfway. Only a plan that satisfies everyone can be implemented under such circumstances.
Obviously, the dwarves cannot afford to delay. Even if they know the result, they still have to try again and use crazy attempts to bet on the illusory probability.
Because, just a few hours ago, the dwarves had the latest information: a new designation of the Tang Empire appeared on the front line.
The 11th Army of the Tang Empire! The appearance of this designation indicates that the total strength of the Tang Army will soon be raised to another level.
When the Tang Army’s third army group is all in place, it will be even more difficult for the dwarves to launch a counterattack. So, now...may be their only chance.
"I still think we should wait... If the Tang army takes the initiative to retreat again, how will we respond then? Although our troops are superior, the Tang people are too weird and we can't guess the opponent's intentions at all, which will make us very passive. . "Van Kruse is still cautious, he really doesn't want to take risks.
Once the troops leave the fortifications and enter the field, the Tang army's counterattack will become very deadly. In a field battle, the Tang army's division and encirclement can play its greatest role, and the coalition forces have just suffered losses in this regard.
The two people discussed for more than an hour but still could not come up with a result. In the end, the dwarves really had no choice, so they came up with a compromise: the dwarves would launch a counterattack, and the elves would just wait for the results...
