Chapter 1645: 1646 Chaotic Allied Forces Command

Chapter 1645 1646 The chaotic coalition command headquarters

The dwarves and elves defenders in the city have no idea what is happening now. There is news that the Tang army is attacking the outskirts of the city, and there is news that the Tang army has surrounded the city. In short, everyone looks confused.

Some people knew that the Tang army could not have surrounded Shengluo, but on the defensive position where gunshots were heard, the defenders swore that their position was being attacked by the Tang army.

These positions are all to the south or east of the city. Logically speaking, it is unlikely that Tang Army troops will appear in these locations.

Subsequently, the elf staff officers in the headquarters discovered that their commander Van Crews was missing... Although everyone knew Van Crews's schedule to go to the airport to meet the reinforcements of the air force pilots, it was still unbearable that he had not returned yet. Thinking comes to mind.

There's no way, there's really no way - Van Kruse had a record of abandoning everyone and running away more than half a month ago, so it wouldn't be a surprise if he did it again, right?

Even though no one is willing to speculate in the most evil thoughts about Van Kruse's behavior, it is true that he is not that reliable, and this is indeed a fact. Therefore, the senior elven officers in the headquarters found themselves leaderless again.

What's even more terrible is that as the Tang army's offensive began, Tang attack aircraft in the sky began to bomb the city: such an attack was to cover the ground troops, and also to paralyze the defender's dispatch and command system in the city.

The navy commanded by Bernard returned from Port Rewind to the vicinity of Saint-Lo, and poured all the remaining ammunition it carried onto the heads of the Saint-Lo defenders.

There were explosions everywhere, requests for firefighting, reports of damage, refugees crowding the roads and panicked soldiers everywhere.

Everything began to get out of control. The command system, which did not understand the situation, was too busy taking care of itself. It no longer had any energy to worry about other things. They could not contact the airport, could not find their commander-in-chief, and had no way to mobilize troops. defense.

By this time, the Tang Army had entered the city, and gunshots had even sounded in some neighborhoods. However, the speed of information acquisition limited the defenders' response. Most people still don't know how the battle broke out.

Some people even suspected that some troops were suspicious and fired their own shots to disrupt the position. Others believed that a small group of Tang Army troops infiltrated into the city to carry out destruction and create chaos.

There are even rumors that the airport was attacked by Tang troops and that Van Kruse had been sacrificed. As Van Kruse disappeared for longer and longer, many people really began to believe this statement.

"Have someone go to the airport to confirm the situation! The general must be found, otherwise the chaos will continue." An elf staff officer looked at several senior officers guarding the headquarters with some dissatisfaction, and put forward his own suggestions.

"If my troops leave the headquarters, who will be responsible for the security here?" The officers of the guard regiment were unwilling to carry out the order. At this time, they gathered the troops and drove out of the city. Not to mention encountering the enemy, they just didn't encounter the enemy. They were afraid that they would also be in chaos for a while.

“Yes, if the general comes back and our own troops are not around the headquarters, who will bear this responsibility?” Another regiment leader felt that all the staff officers in the headquarters were useless and could only talk on paper.

 While they were hesitating, the phone on the table suddenly rang. An officer walked over, grabbed the receiver, and asked impatiently: "Where? What did you say? Are you sure?" He covered the receiver, looked at several colleagues around him, and said in shock: "On the phone, The phone call said that the Tang Army had stormed into the port...the docks and warehouses were all controlled by the Tang Army."

"What? Are you kidding me?" Several elven officers were completely confused. They never thought that there would be so many Tang troops operating in the city.

According to their judgment, there are not many Tang troops in the city at all. At most, they are just a few small teams setting fire to harass. As long as they wait until dawn, these people will not be able to make any trouble.

But now, the news from the dwarves is that the Tang army has been large enough to control a large area and has defeated the dwarf garrison troops stationed in important locations... This is definitely not a good thing for the defenders in the city. .

"The port must be recaptured! Otherwise, if more Tang troops come ashore, we will be doomed!" The leader of the elf group, who was unwilling to move just now, was shocked. After reacting, he immediately shouted: "Counterattack! We must organize a counterattack!"

"But, General Van Kruse..." Another staff officer began to hesitate. They are not the commander-in-chief or commander, and they have no decision-making power.

Sending troops to find Van Kruse at this time is still a good job. If you overstep your authority and command the troops to fight, then if you really pursue it afterwards, you will inevitably be punished.

 In fact, it would be okay if they were just punished. What they feared most was that because of their random transfers, they would lose their headquarters and the situation would become worse, and they would no longer be able to shoulder this responsibility.

"There was news just now that there was a large-scale attack by the Tang Army in the south of the city, and later it was said that a large number of Tang troops were discovered in the east of the city... Now we don't know the specific situation. We mobilized the troops rashly. What if we fall into the enemy's trick?" The leader of the guard regiment was still unwilling to leave his defense area. Anyway, his duty was to be stationed around the headquarters, and other tasks had nothing to do with him.

"Transfer the main force of the 2nd Division to the north of the city back! Let them enter the city, so that we can have more troops to use." The staff officers, who had no good solution, could only sacrifice the near and far away to mobilize another one that looked very good. The garrison was in the direction of safety.

 “This is a good idea!” “That’s all it can do.” Several regiment leaders leading the troops breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they are not allowed to leave the defense area without authorization, any other method is a good idea.

But what they don't know is that what the Tang army is fighting for now is time, which is to expand their occupied area as much as possible before the defenders have a grasp of the specific situation.

As long as they occupy enough areas and as long as they can control important facilities, then this operation will be their victory.

"The phone can't be connected. It may be that the telephone exchange was bombed." At this time, the staff officer who grabbed the phone and was about to issue an order said something embarrassing to his companions that made people laugh and cry.

 Another staff officer reacted quickly enough and immediately shouted: "Let the signal corps find it! Go quickly! Go immediately! Let the 2nd Division enter the city! Quickly!"
