Chapter 1661: 1662 Blessed Land
Chapter 16611662 Blessed Land
Time is fair to everyone. Tang's series of victories on the Eastern Continent gave them more time to deal with their own problems.
They not only optimized sea transportation, but also got back their dividends from this war little by little: the mountains in the northern part of the dwarves are really full of treasures, full of precious and rare metals, and full of dry goods.
There is not only tungsten, but also molybdenum, and of course a lot of silver and gold... In short, this is really a very important metal production base, and any mine is worth a fortune.
At that time, the dwarves relied on these ores to create world-renowned weapons. Later, the products here became the basis for purchasing weapons and equipment from the Cyric Consortium.
Then the Tang Group rose, and the dwarves relied on these minerals to achieve their own industrialization. Although this industrialization was not complete, they did become one of the few industrial powers.
The train carriages are filled with dark coal. The newly mined coal must be screened, processed and consumed on site.
The Tang Empire built three large thermal power stations on the Eastern Continent. The equipment was shipped directly from the Western Continent, so the construction speed was very fast. These thermal power stations can obtain coal resources nearby and generate electricity to feed back to nearby mining areas.
It took Tang State engineers only two months to restore the power generation in the occupied areas to pre-war levels, which has to be said to be a miracle.
Although almost all weapons and equipment now have to be transported from the distant Western Continent, Tang State's technical personnel have been able to ensure that more than 90% of the weapons can be repaired on the Eastern Continent. If parts from the Western Continent are used, all weapons Equipment can be repaired and returned to the battlefield.
Such logistical supply capabilities have almost allowed the Tang Army to end the unfavorable situation caused by cross-sea operations. Without the constraints of shipping, the Tang Army's offense has become sharper.
Now, both sides have focused their attention on the frontier between the elves and dwarves. If the Tang army breaks through here, it will really enter the territory of the Yangmu Empire, and the Yangmu Empire will have no choice but to start fighting on its own.
Although the Yangmu Empire has frantically mobilized 300,000 new troops, the speed at which they form troops still cannot keep up with the consumption rate on the front line.
Although those frontline troops were not wiped out, they were always defeated and various problems always occurred.
On the 9th of this month, Flix finally arrived at the decisive battle area he selected. This was the previous border between the elves and the dwarves. Both sides had built a large number of trench defenses here, and barbed wire and anti-tank barriers could be seen everywhere.
Looking at the large and small craters left by the cannonballs in the distance, Flix felt quite emotional: It was here that he commanded the troops to defeat the dwarf attack, and was eventually promoted to marshal.
For him, this place can be said to be a blessed land. Now that he was back here, he really hoped that this blessed land would allow him to win the war a second time.
"Marshal! The forward troops of the Tang Army have appeared 30 kilometers away. They will be approaching here soon..." An officer walked over with some worry and reported the latest information to Flix, who was standing next to the jeep. Condition.
It is true that the 4th Group Army has been desperately sniping at the 1st Armored Division of the Tang Dynasty, but the opponent's attack power is really too strong. Flix knew that the 4th Army had fought very resolutely. After all, they really did not want the enemy to enter their country. But even if the 4th Army had tried its best, their gap in hard power left them unable to do anything against the Tang Army's armored forces.
The Tang Army's Type 96 main battle tank is much more powerful than the tanks equipped by the elves in every aspect. The two sides are not of the same dimension at all.
The 125 mm caliber tank gun, coupled with advanced ballistic computers, coupled with sophisticated modern sighting systems... simply left no way for the Elf armored soldiers to survive.
Whether it is a hidden ambush or a frontal assault, no matter how the elves arrange their tactics, they will always be the one that collapses at the first touch. Sometimes, even the two armed helicopters of the Tang Army could chase a group of their troops...
This kind of one-sided fighting completely destroyed the morale of the Elf troops. The defeated troops were scattered everywhere. There were tens of thousands of skirmishers of the 4th Army captured by the Tang Army, which speaks volumes.
"I know." Looking back at the soldiers of the 5th Army who were repairing the existing trenches behind him, Flix said confidently.
He finally arrived here before everyone else, and the troops of the 5th Army finally appeared where they were supposed to appear.
As long as they can hold on here for 15 days, I believe that the follow-up elven troops gathered behind them can stabilize the war situation and recapture Rewind Port.
The recapture of Rewind Port will be a turning point in the entire war. This is the first time that the coalition forces have recaptured a lost city from the Tang army. This definitely marks the coalition forces regaining the initiative on the battlefield.
Of course they haven't recaptured Rewind Port yet. The above is all Flix's imagination. So he withdrew his gaze from the busy soldiers and ordered: "Strengthen the defense line as much as possible. We must hold our position here! Never take a step back! For the empire! For His Majesty the Emperor! And for the glory of the elves!"
"Yes!" The officer stood at attention and saluted, turned around and left with the order. The captain of Flix's personal guard came over and said: "Marshal! We are a little too conspicuous here. For your safety, it is better to find a place with cover. place."
Flix nodded and did not get in the car. Instead, he led the people down the small highland with his hands on his back and walked towards a forest in the distance.
Behind him, about 30 kilometers away, Liu Guozhu had gotten out of the tank and enjoyed his first short rest of the day.
His troops have been attacking continuously for a whole day. He has lost count of how many enemy lines he has penetrated during this day. The opponent seemed to be fighting tooth and nail. Even a company of troops would fight as hard as possible to delay the Tang army's attack.
Actually, it’s not that Liu Guozhu really needs to rest. His tank is already very comfortable compared to the shabby metal tanks of the elves. It's just that his tanks are short of ammunition and don't have much fuel.
So he had to stop, wait for the subsequent supply convoy to arrive, check the condition of the tank, and replenish ammunition and fuel before continuing to attack.
