Chapter 136 136 StrategiesIn the far reaches of Higgs, in the territory occupied by the Holy Demon Emperor, an officer is reporting the latest attack Progress: "The enemy army has stubbornly blocked us here and here. We are trying to break through these lines of defense, but the casualties are too serious."
The Holy Demon Emperor wants to advance to Greece in one go Gesnar, occupy the former capital of the Higgs, in order to destroy the will of the nearby defenders to resist. This is their commonly used combat strategy, and it is also a very effective combat strategy.
However, this time the attack did not go well. The troops of the Holy Demon Emperor suffered heavy losses in the process of attacking to the east. They made more than 30 kilometers of progress to the south and more than 20 kilometers to the north. , forming a huge salient as its troops stormed east for 80 kilometers.
There are still about 97 kilometers away from Higgsnar, and the offensive power of the Holy Demon Emperor has been almost consumed. They hoped that the next attack the opponent would completely collapse, but after attack after attack, they saw the tenacious of the Alanhill Grenadiers.
These warriors soon formed new lines of defense behind the shattered lines, continuing the fight with air support. Both sides will pay a heavy price in every battle. The Holy Demon Emperor has now wiped out more than 50,000 troops from Alanhill, but there is still no sign of the war coming to an end.
In order to eliminate these 50,000 people, the Holy Demon Emperor paid the price of more than 10,000 soldiers, 2,000 magicians who were not easy to cultivate were killed, and hundreds of Dragon Knights fell. What's more terrifying is that even if they attacked so aggressively, there was still no way to form an organized mortal force to annihilate Alanhill.
The opponent has been retreating in an orderly manner, and only lost some second-line troops in the rear when covering the retreat. Even the nearby civilians were evacuated in a planned way, leaving nothing of value to the Holy Demon Emperor at all.
"It's also true that they've been pulling back, but they haven't been fatally hit, and it's also true that it's hard for me to imagine that if we keep going east, we'll encounter them at Higgsnar. What a firm counterattack." The big magician of the magician Legion who was sitting beside said worriedly.
He is not a magician in charge of wars, and magician Legion is only used in support of combat. How to fight and where to fight are all the real generals have the final say. He only has certain suggestions and rejections. power.
The commander in the lead was also in a bad mood. His attack was basically consuming each other with mortals, and he didn't make any decent progress at all. In this way, he went all the way to Higgsnar, and there was no further strength to move forward.
So he opened his mouth depressed and expressed his worries: "I'm not worried about Higsnar, I'm worried about the safety of the Dragon Knights we scattered! Is there any harassment tactics? Success, we don't have an accurate news yet, which makes it impossible for me to judge whether the enemy has been severely weakened."
A large number of Dragon Knight, or what he is holding now, the Eastern Front Half of the Dragon Knight troops were sent out to carry out this harassment tactic, but such a tactic took time to build up victories, and the results obtained by harassment in a short period of time would not be intuitively reflected in front-line operations.
Unlike in the past, however, the commander had been worried that his harassment tactics were not working. It was like the Sixth Sense of a general, he was always worried that the nearly 100 Dragon Knights he sent out would not be able to return to his hands.
Hearing this worry, magician was stunned for a moment, then looked towards the general and asked, "If the harassment tactics didn't work, why would they fall into the passive state of constant retreat?"
Glancing at magician, the general replied helplessly: "That's because we are constantly attacking! You can't feel the pressure from the front, but I can feel it! Their defense line has not become weak, and logistical supplies seem to be There are no serious problems."
"Then what do we do now? Give up the plan to continue the attack on Higgsnar?" Hearing the commander say this, magician was also a little panicked. , ignoring the differences between him and the other party in the selection of the Grand Consul, he continued to ask.
"Yes, I think it's safer for us to turn to the south to attack now and eliminate this huge protrusion." The commander thought about it and seemed to have made a major decision. He has always been worried about the safety of his flanks, and it is obviously safer to make some precautions.
magician obviously disagreed with this decision, and questioned: "Do you think the mortal empire will launch a large-scale counterattack on a strategic level against a Magic Empire?"
The Holy Demon Emperor The commander sneered and asked: "Why is it impossible? Half a month ago, you didn't believe that the mortal empire could block our attack head-on! But now, they have not only blocked it, but also made us feel tremendous pressure. ."
"Okay, I admit that the Alanhill Empire is different from other mortal empires! Do you think they are planning a counterattack?" magician also realized that it seemed that his habitual thinking was interfering with him. Thinking.
The mortal empire in front of them is obviously not an ordinary mortal empire. Whether their aircraft or those damn heavy artillery are all terrifying weapons that can bring serious losses to the Holy Demon Emperor.
And those steadfast Alanhill soldiers who were willing to fight the Holy Demon Emperor to the end were also the enemies he had to take seriously. These originally very weak mortals, after being armed with these weapons, become dangerous, even magician, a little careless will pay a heavy price.
"I'm just worried that they are preparing to counterattack, so I plan to change the direction of the attack. First solve the problem of the salient defense on my side, and then consider how to attack better." The commander said himself idea.
He pointed casually on the map with his hand, and continued to explain: "In addition, there is another advantage to mobilizing troops to go south. At least we can avoid the Higgsnar area, which is the main defense of the opponent, and turn around. And make progress in the southern region where the amount of defensive power is not so strong."
"Yes, I have no opinion, you are the commander, and it is your power to choose how to attack." Thoughtful, magician also feels that changing the direction of the offense is a good way.
Even he may not realize it, he subconsciously expects to give up the frontal attack. The commander's decision to focus his attack on the south actually made him sighed in relief.
This attitude shows that he is already afraid of attacking the Defensive Array in Alanhill head-on, because every attack he has to face the bombardment of the opponent's attack aircraft and the enemy's artillery fire-seeing a large number of The death of magician, the commander of the Magician Legion, was very anxious and helpless.
Alanhill's main force can now be avoided, which is obviously good news. If the opponent is not as tightly guarded as the front, a quick assault battle will also be very helpful for the Holy Demon Emperor to reduce consumption.
No one likes a tough battle in a stalemate, everyone is willing to fight a battle where the winner is immediately decided. The Holy Demon Emperor is like this, and so is Alanhill. Just south of the salient of the Holy Demon Emperor, a huge Alanhill Legion is advancing north.
On the road that has been overwhelmed, a tank following one is slowly advancing. Flanking the tanks were rows of Alanhill Grenadiers armed with rifles.
Trucks dragged 155mm howitzers behind the tank units, followed by 105mm howitzers pulled by warhorses, winding along the road into the distance with no end in sight.
An ME-109 fighter engine covering the unit roared low and passed overhead, under the wings were the densely packed M42 helmets marching forward.
On the front hood of the jeep, the dazzling golden eagle shone with light, and the officers sitting in the car squinted and proudly looked at the ME-109 fighter jet flying at a low altitude. Another fighter above this fighter, looking at more and more fighters in the distance...
"The 2nd Army fought quite hard. Once the counterattack on our side starts, they will You can breathe a sigh of relief!" Vagron put down the telescope in his hand and looked towards Walter, the commander of the 1st Army beside him.
He is now standing on the dirt slope beside the road, watching the endless troops pass by in front of his eyes. This troop was ordered to take the lead in counterattacking against the Holy Demon Emperor's army, which is of great significance both from a tactical and strategic point of view.
Walter stood beside Vagron, also overlooking his troops, and said: "The fuel and ammunition are fully prepared, the most conservative estimate of our attack can also hit Barro, and the other party will. Realizing that their back road will be cut off by us."
Vagron was very concerned about his first battle against the Holy Demon Emperor, and reminded Walter: "If nothing else, they will Immediately return to the army to consolidate our rear, and we will face their counterattack."
Walter nodded, there was some anxiety in his heart, but he still sorted out his emotions and said firmly: "It's a hard fight, We have never fought such a tough battle. Even so, I am confident to complete the task!"
Satisfied with Walter's answer, Vagron nodded encouraged: "As long as we persevere, this team will The army of the Holy Demon Emperor can stay in the Higgs territory...forever!"
"Yes, we will be the first mortal army to invade the Magic Empire! "Walter said proudly.
"Victory belongs to Alanhill! Long live the Emperor Your Majesty!" Vagron looked into the distance, his eyes firm.
"Victory belongs to Alanhill!" Walter also said, "It also belongs to our First Army! Long live the Emperor Your Majesty!"
