Chapter 1674: 1675 There are more marshals
Chapter 16741675 There are more marshals
The Tang Army used a new, very high-precision missile to attack the royal palace in the dwarf Ironforge City. The missile accurately hit the palace building and destroyed many ancient ruins.
This may be the first time that Ironforge has suffered such a violent attack in thousands of years: when the Ice Kingdom entered here more than ten years ago, there was actually not much fierce fighting.
Five missiles all landed in the palace. The accuracy of this attack was already terrifying. Binghan I had to move his headquarters to the basement and ordered the construction of an air defense headquarters that was strong enough.
The basement in the past seemed to be weak. If it was really blown down and His Majesty the Emperor was buried alive inside, it would be very lively, right?
In fact, with the passage of time, many of the new and unseen weapons and equipment of the Tang Army are no longer secrets.
After the missile hits the target, there will be debris left behind, dumb bombs that did not explode will be picked up on the battlefield, and some heavy armored vehicles of the Tang Army may even be captured by chance.
Even though the Tang Army has been on the offensive, and even though the Tang Army's tanks and armored vehicles have very advanced performance, in such a large-scale war, there is still a chance of malfunction or being destroyed by luck.
So the coalition forces have actually collected almost a complete set of remains of Tang army weapons and equipment, with enough categories to hold an exhibition.
They have the wings and engines of the downed Tang Army Thunder attack aircraft, the nose and ejection seat of the Yinglong fighter jet, the bent barrel of the 96 tank and the damaged commander's sight...
There are also Tang Army 155mm caliber howitzer shells, armored vehicles with bullet holes, various missile fragments and even complete missiles...
Because there are too many things, the technical department cannot study them at all; because the technological generation gap is too big, many things cannot be understood even after studying them.
There are still a lot of missile fragments that fell in the palace this time, and some numbers and other things can be seen on them. The radio in the Tang Dynasty called this weapon a "long sword", which sounds like it is not easy to mess with.
Binghan I walked back and forth in the slightly dark basement, and he had long lost any calmness. Even though two lights had been installed, Binghan I still felt that his bedroom was not bright.
Perhaps it was just a pure feeling, but he just didn't feel used to it. He likes places with windows and the feeling of being able to see the sun when he wakes up.
In the past, he did not cherish this kind of life, but now that he has lost it, he finds that it is an extremely precious thing.
"I want to go back to the palace to rest! I feel very uncomfortable here." He complained to the waiters and several close ministers. Everyone bowed their heads and remained silent. They did not dare to say anything at this time.
The purpose of the Tang Army's missile attack is very obvious, which is not to give the dwarf's air defense system any time to react. In a general electromagnetic interference environment, the dwarf's air defense radar is unable to detect incoming missiles.
The radar reflection surface of the opponent's missile is basically small and can easily be hidden in the clutter of electromagnetic interference. And because of the threat of anti-radiation missiles, there are very few radars that dwarves dare to turn on and scan.
There is no way to give early warning, which means there is no way to defend. The safe way is to avoid in advance: this is why Binghan I now lives in the basement.
"Your Majesty, for your safety..." Finally, after Han Bing I had complained enough, a minister had the courage to speak out and admonish him. The noise of the generator in the room not far next door mixed with his words, making his advice seem a little less convincing and making Binghan I even more irritable.
At this time, an officer sent a document. After singing the slogan "Long Live Our Emperor," he handed the news from the front line to Binghan I, who was about to continue to get angry.
The news is very simple: the headquarters of the 7th Army of the Ice Empire was raided by the Tang Army. This army has almost officially become history...
As this army group that had existed in name only officially passed into history, the dwarves' defense line shrank back by about 10 kilometers.
At present, the Tang Army's tank gun barrels are only about 70 kilometers away from Ironforge, and they may be able to hit the suburbs of the capital within a day.
"Where is Xie Ke? Where is Xie Ke?" Binghan I frowned and asked, "Why doesn't the 9th Army provide reinforcements? Aren't they just on the flanks of the 7th Army?"
"Your Majesty, the 9th Army has retreated all the way. The pressure is already very high. They cannot protect themselves and there is no way to reinforce the 7th Army." The officer lowered his head and answered Binghan I's question: "General Xie Ke is returning to Iron Furnace On the way to the fort…”
Just kidding, if the 9th Army had the ability to support the 7th Army, they would not have been pressed all the way back to their current position by the Tang Army.
“Truman…” Binghan I thought of one of his frontline generals again.
“General Truman has died in the line of duty.” The officer replied. The situation on the battlefield was actually very chaotic. He was not sure whether Truman was dead or not, but the news said that Truman was dead.
This general who gave his soldiers "poison" really deserves to die. Not only is he wanted by the Tang army, but many people on the dwarf side also criticize him.
“Where is Marshal Balov?” Binghan I asked again about the general in charge of Ironforge’s defense. This Balov can be regarded as a more capable general among the dwarves. He had been the commander of the 3rd Army before, and now he has been promoted to marshal and serves as the commander-in-chief of the defense of Ironforge.
The officer immediately said: "The marshal is inspecting the deployment of the defense line in the northern suburbs, and he may return in the evening."
"Ask him to come see me as soon as he comes back." After giving an order, Binghan I waved his hands irritably: "Let's all go! Leave me alone. Also, if General Xie Ke comes back, he will come back immediately. notice me!"
There was no other way. The senior commanders of the coalition forces had suffered too many losses, so Binghan I could only hold his nose and tolerate Xie Ke, who had suffered defeats all the way, and let him continue to hold important positions.
Even, in order to commend him for safely retreating the 9th, 10th, 14th and 15th armies to their current positions, Binghan I even gave him the title of marshal.
The worse the frontline fights, the more food will be eaten after losing the battle, and the more marshals and generals will be... All countries are actually the same. Since there is no victory to appease people's hearts, the only solace is promotion and salary increase.
Everyone retreated, but the room did not quiet down immediately... The diesel generator at the end of the corridor was still humming, making Binghan I indescribably annoyed.
