Chapter 1669: 1670 Let me emphasize again
Chapter 1669 1670 Let’s emphasize again
When an officer pushed open the door of Felix's room, he even looked a little sluggishly when he looked over. The Elf Marshal's face looked quite haggard. It was obvious that he had not had a good rest in the past few days.
“What’s the matter?” He asked with full fatigue. There is no expectation even from this sentence.
He really didn't expect anything. There was no good news these days. They repeatedly ran into obstacles in front of the Tang army and lost almost all the battles they could lose.
The 5th Army is retreating, and the same is true for the 7th Army. The two entire armies are helpless in front of the opponent's approximately 3 to 4 divisions. This kind of battle makes people feel frustrated no matter how hard it is to fight.
Sure enough, the officer who came to deliver the news handed him a new message with a wry smile: "Marshal, the news just sent is that the headquarters of the 7th Army was bombed, and the Tang Army attacked it with missiles. The commander of the 7th Army also A chief of staff died in the line of duty..."
"Isn't there an air defense code? How could they..." Flix wanted to blame him, but when he thought that several people were gone, there was no use in blaming him, so he had to give up.
In fact, he understands this kind of thing very well, because the Tang Army's radio detection methods are simply incredible. If the coalition forces expose the location of any radio signal, they will immediately be mercilessly attacked.
He used to command at the border position and used the telephone lines laid back then, so he could avoid being discovered... The 7th Army did not have such good conditions, so it was natural to use some radios.
It's just that nature takes its course, and if you don't take the Tang army's attack methods seriously, you are committing suicide. Obviously, the senior management of the 7th Army who stayed in China and had no direct contact with the Tang Army did not realize that doing so was very dangerous.
They should know it now, but they know it a little late. After sighing, Flix could only order: "Re-emphasize the rules for radio use! There are also air defense regulations!"
"Yes! Marshal." The officer turned and left, leaving Flix, who was still tired, sitting in a chair in a daze.
This is the border defense line. The 5th Army retreated eastward along the border defense line, making full use of the infrastructure on the border defense line.
They have trenches and tunnels, as well as artillery positions and headquarters. These settings are all connected by landlines, so their small life is quite comfortable.
The 7th Army, which is completely in a field state on the other side, is much more unlucky. They have been in a field state and were driven out of the suburbs of Refeng Port by the Tang Army. Now they can only survive with a few villages on their backs.
The good news is that their reinforcements are coming soon, but the bad news is that the combat effectiveness of these reinforcements is actually not very good. Whether they are troops from Dorne or troops from Lines, the supply of these guest troops from afar is still a big problem.
Now the Tang Army has formed a huge L-shaped occupied area, extending along the coastline on one side and across the entire northern part of the dwarf empire on the other. It can be said that it has established a firm foothold.
On the one hand, Tang Army’s supplies can be delivered continuously through the three ports. On the other hand, the ore produced in the northern mountainous areas of the Eastern Continent can be sent back to the Western Continent for processing through the ports.
From various aspects, the Tang Army has achieved its strategic goals, and it can even be said that it has overfulfilled its mission. Next, there is only pure war and victory or defeat. …
"Dear viewers! The Ice Empire used a large number of inhumane drugs during the war, devastated its own soldiers, and used unfair means to seek victory... Here are the various packages and corresponding drugs seized by our soldiers on their positions. "A war reporter wearing a steel helmet asked the cameraman to focus on the messy corners of the trench while introducing the situation.
It was a whole box of black crows that had not yet been opened, and there were some scattered packages next to it. These things are now appearing more and more frequently in the seized lists, proving that the dwarves are trying to use this medicine to change the situation of the war.
It's just that this attempt is doomed to be in vain. The Tang army's attack can no longer be stopped by some drugs that hypnotize soldiers. As the battle line draws closer to Ironforge, the dwarf resistance becomes weaker and weaker.
That's right, it is getting weaker and weaker: all the most elite troops have been lost, and the remaining troops are even short of basic heavy weapons. Of course, frontal battles are getting weaker and weaker.
The strength of the troops seems to have even increased slightly, but in fact there are very few people left who can actually fight. This is exactly the same as when Germany fought the Battle of Berlin for the third time: it seems that a million troops are not too small, but this million troops are completely different from the million troops in Stalingrad.
In real war, collapse often only occurs in an instant, and subsequent struggles are just struggles that are unwilling to fail. To use a more heart-wrenching sentence to describe it, it is that people left in the morning and were only buried at night.
“As you can see, these drugs are very dangerous. Our soldiers must collect them carefully and then concentrate them to destroy them.” When the reporter was talking, he could still hear the explosion of shells falling in the distance.
At that time, the 155 howitzers were firing to cover the Tang Army's attack. There were very few large-scale artillery units participating in the battle on the dwarves' side.
The firepower of the two sides was not at the same level at all. Often the Tang army would fire ten shots and the dwarfs could return one shot. As the war situation continues to change, this situation is gradually changing.
The towed howitzers were lost too much and could not be replaced in a short period of time. The dwarf logistics troops no longer even transported the artillery to the front line.
They built as strong trenches and defense lines as possible near Ironforge, deployed artillery in these places, and then allowed the frontline troops to lament that they had no artillery to use.
In the view of the senior dwarf officers, rather than letting heavy weapons go to waste, it may be better to stay behind, hoard them and put them into battle at once, which may be more effective.
In fact, not only the officers, but also many dwarf ministers, including the emperor Binghan I, were thinking about one thing: the battle of Ironforge was inevitable. When the Tang army came to the city, should they fight in Ironforge? Fort fight to the death.
Binghan I actually had the idea of a decisive battle. He hoped to fight the Tang army in Ironforge. Because for the Ice Empire, this is almost the last chance.
Once Ironforge is lost, the concept of the dwarf empire will be shaken legally. The Ice Empire represents the dwarves from the moment they captured Ironforge. If Ironforge is lost now, what will they use to continue to rule the dwarves?
