Chapter 1737: 1738 moves like thunder
Chapter 1737 1738 moves like thunder
Maybe there is a place in the world where it snows every day, but it certainly doesn’t snow every day here in the Ice Empire.
Especially in the southern region of the Ice Empire, the actual situation here is similar to that in Hebei, with obvious spring, summer, autumn and winter seasons. Otherwise, this place would not become the granary of the Ice Empire, providing a large amount of food for the entire Ice Empire.
In such an area, continuous snowfall for several days is actually a very abnormal climate. Such a thing has never happened in the past many years.
After 9 consecutive days of cloudy weather and 6 days of intermittent light snow, the sky finally started to clear up. Xie Ke also knew that their good times were almost over.
Although the weather is still cold, there is no longer a large white cloud overhead. The continuous cloudy days have ended, leaving everyone with only a cloudless blue sky.
Soon, Xie Ke discovered that the radio communication network he had set up began to experience interference, and the Tang Empire's electronic jamming aircraft began to take action again.
In desperation, he could only issue an order to shut down all radio stations and use the communication cavalry that had been arranged to contact the surrounding troops: if he did not do this, anti-radiation missiles would soon fall from the sky to teach him how to behave.
In fact, the war has been going on for several months. Everyone has understood the technological advantages of the Tang Empire. The dwarves are also deliberately building their own command system on the way to attack.
They asked the engineers to lay as many telephone lines as possible in order to contact more grassroots troops in an electromagnetic interference environment and maintain the basic dispatch and operation of the troops.
This kind of thing is actually very normal, but it is different when it comes to the Eastern Front: their advancement speed is so fast that Xieko's troops have no way to lay their own communication network at normal speed.
The original solution was to use radio, which was also the most reasonable solution. However, facing Tang Jun, there was no way to use radio...
Because the counterattack progressed too quickly, Xie Ke was unable to maintain basic communication control over the troops, so he could only rely on traditional cavalry to issue every order.
Fortunately, his troops were not comparable to the armored troops of World War II, otherwise he would not have been able to use the cavalry to find his rapidly advancing subordinates.
"It finally stopped..." Xie Ke saw the clear sky outside through the window, and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. His good luck was almost running out, and Tang Jun's counterattack would soon begin.
"Immediately send someone to contact the northernmost troops and let them be careful about the possible appearance of Tang Army armored forces..." At this point, he could only bite the bullet and continue to fight this battle.
What he is most worried about now is nothing more than two points: the first is the counterattack of the Tang Army from the front, and the second is the Tang Army from the north moving south. As long as one of these two problems arises, he may have to consider running away.
If the Eastern Front Army in the southern plains really hurt the Tang Army, then of course the other side would consider bringing back the armored forces in the north... If these armored forces gave up encircling and suppressing the 11th and 12th Group Armies and turned their spearhead towards the southern plains, it is estimated that the Eastern Front Army would The best situation is to defend Dalkas.
… In the headquarters of Tang’s 3rd Army, Strauss, who had finally waited for the sunny day, gave a serious order to counterattack: "Order the troops on both wings to advance forward as quickly as possible! I don’t care how you fight, but I have to wait until the other side reacts. Before you come here, put the Eastern Front troops in my pocket!"
"Yes!" After hearing his order, the mechanized infantry commanders with better maneuverability placed on both wings immediately agreed with their chins raised.
Immediately, Strauss looked at the Air Force liaison officer standing aside: "Inform the Air Force... Now that the sky has cleared, it is their turn to perform. Don't let His Majesty down. For the sake of the Empire, nail the enemy to the spot." !”
The air force colonel in a blue military uniform stood at attention and saluted and agreed: "Don't worry, general... We guarantee that they won't even be able to lift their heads!"
Strauss looked at the remaining infantry commanders and pressed his hand on the map: "The whole army assaulted to the west bank of the Porter River and surrounded and annihilated the Dwarf Eastern Front Army crossing the river to the west of the Porter River! No one can be allowed to escape. …The blood debt will eventually be paid with blood, and it’s time to repay the sins they committed.”
“Yes!” All the officers stood at attention and replied loudly: “Promise to complete the mission!”
Countless Tang Army soldiers wearing winter camouflage advanced along the road. Around them, wheeled armored vehicles and cars drove past one after another, filled with friendly troops holding weapons.
Behind them, self-propelled artillery and rocket launchers are also advancing rapidly. They must deploy immediately after encountering the enemy to provide sufficient fire support for the frontline troops.
Further back, in the cleared space, tactical missile launch vehicles have been prepared. The thick missiles have raised their pointed heads and pointed at the blue sky.
At the field airport on the southern plain built by the dwarves, fuel trucks were parked next to maintenance and power supply trucks in the open space next to the airport. On the runway of the airport, the propellers of armed helicopters had begun to rotate slowly.
The ground crew was waving to the pilots in the cockpit, and the hinds with rockets and anti-tank missiles mounted on their short wings were ready to take off.
Farther away, two Yinglong fighter jets have taken off from the cleared runway. Together with dozens of other fighter jets, they will protect the entire battlefield airspace and clear out all enemy aircraft entering the area.
At an altitude of 10,000 meters, two early warning aircraft were already coordinating the takeoff fighters and bombers. In the busy cabin, the screen in front of the commander was densely packed with light spots carrying own radar identification signals.
Those are the Ares bombers and the Intruder attack planes taking off from the rear... These planes loaded with bombs must be the first to greet the targets on the ground and completely paralyze them in place.
Although the number of armored troops invested in this attack was not large, Strauss did not take this combat operation lightly. If he wants to dismantle the resistance of the Ice Empire once and for all, it is unlikely that he will let go of the big fish of the Eastern Front.
In the higher communication frequency band, the command commands of the Tang Army were sent one after another. If any coalition monitors could detect these channels, they would be able to determine a terrible fact: the Tang Empire's counterattack... had begun.
