 Chapter 17851786The good luck has come to an end

The troops of the Lions Empire can be said to be the only force on the coalition side that has not officially fought against the Tang Army. They were the last to join the war. By the time their troops arrived at the northern border of the elves, the dwarf-controlled areas farther north had actually already Almost lost.

At that time, the Tang army and the dwarves were fighting the Battle of Ironforge, so the troops of the Lions Empire simply did not continue to go north and stayed in the border area. Later, they were transferred to the northwest, preparing to participate in the battle to recapture Rewind Port.

Because they have not participated in the war, the morale of the troops of the Lions Empire is still very high. It can be said that before today, they were the lucky ones in this war.

It can be said that they were really lucky. When they passed through the elf-controlled area and headed north, they took the railway and did not suffer much. Going north with them, there are countless strategic supplies ready to support the dwarves.

They lived quite well with the endless supplies they could eat along the way. However, when they arrived at the northern border of the elves, these supplies could no longer be transported north due to the passive situation.

So they were enjoying the food that was supposed to be given to the dwarves, wearing a lot of elven military coats, and not being bombed by the Tang army who were too busy... They were simply on vacation in the elven region.

Judging from the situation, they really felt that they were just on vacation: because there were really no combat missions, Lines' officers even organized a group to go to nearby towns to find elven women for entertainment.

They were quite polite and didn't dare to cause any trouble. After all, they were on the territory of the elves. But just spending money to find fun that they don't see much in daily life has already made them feel like they are in the clouds.

There is no way, the quality of the girls on the elf side is of course much higher than that on the human side. Normally, they are not willing to serve those ordinary-looking human customers. But this isn't a war period, and everyone is no longer picky. They must first save enough money to live on.

Therefore, the troops of the Lions Empire have never felt the cruelty of war. They got to where they are today by reaping the dividends of war along the way.

But this morning, they finally woke up from their sweet dream. The nightmare came suddenly, but no matter how hard they struggled, they couldn't wake themselves up.

The rocket artillery troops directly under the 10th Army of the Tang Empire had little patience. They poured their firepower directly on the Lyons forward who was deploying his troops.

More than two hundred rocket shells crossed the actual line of control between the two sides and landed on the heads of the Lions Empire troops who were still preparing to attack.

Those officers who were reprimanding the soldiers and encouraging them to enter combat status as soon as possible never thought until their death that there were actually ammunition falling from the sky like raindrops...

The latest ammunition designed and developed by the Tang Empire is no longer just steel **** and the like. These ammunition are neatly arranged with countless arrows, much like the darts used in ancient times.

The flight trajectories of these gadgets are more stable, their penetration is better, and their killing effect on soft targets is even better.

The soldiers of the Lions Empire were really facing a rain attack, and they were flying sideways, with arrows forming a violent shower.

Their flesh and blood was cut by steel, and their bodies were covered with small nails that looked extremely sharp. In an instant, blood mist flew across the sky, covering the soldiers who had just jumped out of the truck.

In less than a second, the canvas roof of the truck behind them was penetrated by steel needles, leaving dense holes. The soldiers in the truck also fell down and let out heart-rending screams. Scream.

They were not dead. The air-explosion fuse caused these arrows to scatter and fall in mid-air, covering as much area as possible. However, the steel helmets on the heads of these soldiers still played a certain protective role.

But this was of no use. Their shoulders, chests, lower bodies, and thighs were all covered with blood holes. Being unable to die for a while was even more of a cruel torture for these soldiers.

They fell to the ground and couldn't even roll over. Their uniforms were dyed red with blood, and there were heart-wrenching shouts everywhere. For those who were still alive, this was countless times more uncomfortable than dying directly.

Those soldiers who happened to escape did not even have the courage to get up. They were surrounded by their comrades who had died or were dying, but they could not do anything and did not dare to do anything.

"Ah!" The pain had made the injured people forget to call for help such as medical soldiers. They just screamed meaninglessly until they had no strength and could not make a sound.

The officer who had been so proud in front of the truck just now fell to the ground without making any sound, and his cap was stained red with blood.

The hoods of cars parked on the roadside were covered with tiny arrow clusters. Some arrow clusters directly penetrated the thin iron sheet, leaving regular triangular holes in it.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" Finally, someone remembered his identity and shouted an incomprehensible word. He didn't know where the enemy was, but the enemy did "attack" them.

But this sentence actually has no effect, because no one has the mind to care about the enemy now. Those who can get up from the ground have almost peed their pants now.

Don't overestimate your courage. Most normal people will tremble when facing a corpse. The smell of blood in the air after a car accident is enough to cause an adverse reaction and make many police officers vomit.

Now the ground is covered with all kinds of corpses, as well as a group of wounded people who are about to become corpses and are still screaming and groaning. How many people can stay calm and pick up the rifles next to them?

"Hide! Find a place to hide! Hide!" After a while, someone finally recalled his duty and shouted a guiding order: at least he reminded his comrades what they should do, instead of Shout out nonsense that I don’t know what to say.

Some soldiers finally got up on the ground. It was not that they found their courage, but that they also realized that they were not very safe lying on the ground.

These soldiers didn't even bother to pick up the weapons around them, so they jumped over their comrades who had lost more air and ran towards the woods not far away. The grove was not that big, but in the eyes of these soldiers, it was at least much safer than the open air. But in fact, if they were willing to stop and take a closer look, they would see that the thick tree trunks were also covered with steel needles with tail fins.

…

The Lions Empire headquarters, which was still some distance away from the front line, had changed at this moment. Many tents have been blown to the ground, and the various utensils and furniture placed inside are all lying around and no one cares about them.

The guard troops nearby were busy dealing with the debris left next to the huge crater. They found some missile casings left after the explosion, and also found some relics of their army chief of staff.

Less than half of the army headquarters was destroyed by the Tang Army's anti-radiation missiles. Except for the frontline commander of the Lines Empire who went to the front to supervise the battle, almost no senior generals were spared.

Compared with those coalition forces that have already suffered enough from anti-radiation missiles, the senior commanders of the Lines Empire have not yet clearly realized how important it is to turn off the radio.

They set up a large number of radio equipment and deployed these equipment closest to the headquarters for convenience.

Now that they have paid the price, they finally understand why many well-intentioned reminders from the coalition emphasize the importance of wired phones.

Of course, they also believed those exaggerated claims that the Tang Army could accurately detect the transmitting location of radio signals, that the radar was easily attacked, etc. Before, they thought it was because the friendly forces were defeated, so they exaggerated. Now they know that the other party has been quite conservative.

Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now. The entire army's command system has collapsed. Communication channels were suppressed and interfered with, and commanders were named and killed one after another. The entire army lost its ability to organize and mobilize, and was paralyzed in place and allowed to be slaughtered.

Many non-commissioned officers from the headquarters were bandaging wounds nearby. The medical conditions at the army headquarters were relatively good. At least there were military doctors on standby.

A major general with a bandage on his arm gave up the military cap that represented his noble status and put a helmet on his head. He walked up to a regimental commander of the guard force and asked about the casualties: "When can we sort this out? "

"It won't be possible within a day." Looking at his busy men, the regiment leader replied: "You'd better leave here with the others. The enemy may launch a second attack at any time. It's very dangerous here."

"Our documents, reports, records... are all here. Even if we leave, there is nothing we can do in a short time." The major general said with a wry smile: "Find a way to tell the commander the news here... He must know Everything is necessary to make a correct judgment.”

"Unable to contact us." The regimental leader shook his head: "The radio channel is full of interference noise, and it cannot be received if the distance is a little further. And... you just ordered to shut down the remaining high-power radio stations."

"Yes, close them all! If you are attacked again, it will be all over." The major general was still frightened. He was still far away from the command center just now, and then he avoided the precise missile. If it happened again, wouldn't his life be in danger?

After a pause, he continued: "Send someone to contact us! On horseback! Or a motorcycle...a car will do, anyway, anything will do. Find the commander and tell him that something has happened at the headquarters! Find someone smarter. Go! Explain the situation here clearly..."

He also felt that he might not be able to explain the situation here clearly, because he still knew almost nothing: he didn't know the damage, he didn't know how long it would take to recover, and he didn't know how to deal with the current problem.

So he added: "Make it as clear as possible...Also, arrange for people to be on standby nearby. If you meet the signal soldiers who come to contact us or send messages, bring them here. I want to know what the situation is like in the army now." ”

After all, he is still a general, so he is still somewhat competent. We know that the most fatal problem now is actually confusion, which is the lag in the transmission of intelligence information caused by the cut off of communications.

Therefore, he cannot easily move the headquarters, at least until the commander comes back, otherwise the entire army will continue to be in chaos.

But he didn't dare to wait where he was, because if there was a second attack, those of them who were lucky enough to survive would suffer. Therefore, he still had to move his command post as much as possible to make himself look safer.

What he still doesn't know is that the commander who went to the front line is actually dead. His car was pierced by countless steel needles, and all four people, including the secretary, adjutant and driver, were not spared.

The soldiers protecting them were luckier, because they were riding in armored vehicles, so only a few of them suffered minor injuries.

But they are also very distressed now because the commander-in-chief they want to protect is dead, and his death is... ugly. He did not carry a helmet in his car, but wore his own military cap. So his head was hit by a cluster of arrows, and you couldn't recognize his original appearance unless you looked carefully.

The big shot of the guard died, leaving these guards with no way to report to their superiors. So now they are all standing stupidly on the road, not knowing what to do next.

No one told them what to do, there was no message on the radio, and the soldiers had no idea what was going on. The commander of the team was also a company commander, so it was unrealistic to expect him to make any far-sighted judgments.

So the current situation is this: the attacked headquarters wants to find their dead commander-in-chief, and the troops protecting the commander-in-chief know that the commander-in-chief is dead, but they have no way to tell anyone.

You can't just look for someone and say: Our commander-in-chief is dead, why don't you think of a solution quickly? In the end, the company commander who commanded the **** force showed a little initiative and got the commander's body into an armored vehicle, and then returned to his headquarters with the body.

At the same moment, the frontline troops of the Lions Empire were in chaos. The troops who originally organized the attack were stunned by a blow to the head. Subsequent air strikes and artillery fire coverage by the Tang Army made it impossible for them to organize an attack.

Therefore, these troops could only stand in place like two idiots, and then tirelessly sent people to contact the headquarters behind them over and over again, hoping that the headquarters would change the decision and cancel the order to continue the attack.

But the people they sent out without exception could not bring back any useful information. They only knew that no one could make a decision and everyone was waiting for new orders.
