Chapter 1807 1808 The scattered army of millions

For the coalition's frontline troops, the situation now became even worse. They could not find the general headquarters, and they could not wait for orders or responses from the general headquarters.

The tanks of the Tang Army were tearing apart their defense line, and the Tang Army's air force was destroying everything they had, but they could only wait, waiting for reinforcements that might never come.

There was no way, those so-called reinforcements were likely to be defeated halfway, and they had turned into dark wreckage paralyzed on the road, with no side visible at a glance.

Countless soldiers' corpses lay on the roadside with no one to deal with them, and countless heavy weapons and equipment became debris blocking the road and no one cared about them.

On the frontal battlefield, the soldiers huddled in the trenches could only rely on the rifles in their hands to fight the Tang Army's steel behemoths to decide a life-and-death battle.

This was obviously not a fair battle. Those soldiers who had the courage to fight until the last moment died one after another, and the remaining soldiers finally had no choice but to surrender when they ran out of ammunition and food.

As the first soldier raised his hands, the second and third men followed suit. In their opinion, this should not be their burial place. After all, they and the enemy opposite are all humans. , does not necessarily need to distinguish between life and death.

Soon a large number of surrendering soldiers appeared on the position. They handed over their weapons and gave up the already dilapidated defense line they were holding on to.

After several hours of fierce attack, the soldiers of the Tang Army finally occupied this place. They took control of the trenches and entered the bunkers hidden underground with weapons in hand.

The officers of the Lines Empire were still resisting. They didn't know that the soldiers outside had already handed over their weapons and surrendered. At this moment, they were still issuing orders one after another, trying to save the situation.

"Let the armored forces organize a counterattack immediately! If they don't come over, we will be finished!" An officer from Lines pressed his hands on the map and shouted angrily.

The noncommissioned officer holding the phone called the friendly forces behind him over and over again, hoping that they could brave the artillery fire and dispatch the tank troops to the defense line areas where they were needed: "Hello? Hello! Where are the armored troops? I ask you what the tanks of the armored troops are. Where are you?"

"Let the soldiers hold on! Hold on for one more hour! No! Hold on for another half hour and the reinforcements will arrive!" Another officer felt that he should draw another pie for his men so that they could continue to resist for a while.

Although they all know that reinforcements may never arrive, they still have to persevere... After all, the death order given by the superiors is to hold the position until the last soldier.

Of course they also knew that they could not hold on to the last soldier, but they should at least hold on until tonight... Only at night would they have the opportunity to retreat, abandon their position here, and retreat to the new defense line behind them.

It's a pity that even if they had a strong defensive position, even if they thought they were very well prepared, when the Tang army's attack began, these officers of the Lions Empire still found that they could not even hold their position for several hours. arrive.

"Damn it! If that doesn't work, let the guard company go up too! You can hold on for a while, right?" The leader of the Lions Empire officer slapped the table, as if he had made a lot of determination.

But before he could give the order for the guards to take up positions, the door was kicked open from the outside. The dark muzzle was pointed at everyone in the room, and the scene suddenly became silent.

Officer Lynes, who was sitting next to the phone, slowly raised his hands. He didn't want to be misunderstood by the person opposite. After all, these Tang Army soldiers wearing camouflage uniforms and holding assault rifles in their hands didn't look easy to mess with.

"Hands up! Don't move! Turn your guns and don't kill!" Tang Jun's soldiers shouted coldly. All the officers in the underground bunker cooperated very cooperatively and gave up their resistance and threw away their weapons.

No one felt uncomfortable, and everyone disarmed obediently. They were not madmen who drew their guns to fight back. Everyone became prisoners of the Tang army.

When these officers were escorted out of the bunker, they saw a dragon flag of the Tang Empire rising slowly on a small high ground in the distance.

"Long live! Long live the Tang Empire!" The soldiers of the Tang Army who had captured the position were cheering to the flag. Their voices echoed through the sky, highlighting the embarrassed look of the Lions soldiers who were being escorted away with their heads in their hands.

After seven days of trying their best to hold on to their position, the defense line responsible for the Lines Empire began to show signs of massive collapse. A large number of soldiers surrendered, and the Tang army's attack became faster.

What makes the senior generals of the Lions Empire even more depressed is that they find it difficult to contact Flix's headquarters. The phone calls couldn't be reached at all, and the liaison personnel sent out brought back more and more depressing news.

I heard that the Thunderbolt attack aircraft of the Tang Empire attacked Flix's headquarters, blowing up many buildings and paralyzing the command network of the headquarters.

Now that it's better, the already sluggish communication has become even more sluggish, and Flix is ​​no longer able to effectively deploy his huge army.

Due to equipment damage and personnel losses, it will take some time for Flix to resume command, but what the coalition lacks now is time.

It is naturally difficult to restore the command center whose location was exposed. Flix did not dare to rebuild his command center on the same spot, so the subsequent relocation work will waste more time, and the coalition's command and dispatch problems will continue to trouble them. Senior commanders of the coalition forces.

…

"Marshal! The news just sent from the Lions Empire..." An officer found Flix, who was busy processing documents in his temporary headquarters, and then handed the letter sent by Lions' messenger to the elf Marshal: "That's bad news."

"An infantry division of Lines suffered heavy losses. About 1,000 soldiers ignored orders and chose to surrender." Seeing Flix open the letter, the officer briefly introduced the contents of the letter.

Flix smiled bitterly. He knew that such a thing would happen sooner or later, because he had no way to provide effective support to the frontline troops.

Most of the coalition's heavy artillery was destroyed halfway. The opponent had air superiority and the heavy artillery unit without maneuverability could not play any role at all. The same is true for the coalition's armored forces. Countless tanks were destroyed on the way to the assembly, and there were very few armored combat vehicles that could really play a role on the front line.

Without the support of heavy weapons, the frontline troops could only face the Tang Army's superior armor alone. This was no different from driving the soldiers to their death. Since they all died, isn't it normal for the soldiers to surrender?

Air Force... don't mention the Air Force. The Air Force claimed that a total of more than 490 aircraft were lost in the seven days after the battle began.

But all the coalition forces fighting on the front line have never seen their own aircraft: not a single coalition aircraft appeared over the war zone. This result makes it difficult to believe that coalition air power participated in this battle.

"Tell the generals of the Lions Empire that they must stick to their current positions to prevent similar things from happening again..." Flix had no choice but to say what he had said countless times in the past few days.

He had no way to mobilize ground troops for reinforcements, and he had no way to promise any air support, so he could only repeat unhelpful words over and over again.

Although the coalition forces still have nearly a million troops in the direction of Rewind Port, the Tang Army's fierce attacks these days have only destroyed less than 10% of the coalition forces.

But most of the remaining coalition forces were unable to move. They were pinned to the spot by Tang Jun's planes, as if they were fat pigs. Although they were fat and strong, they could only be slaughtered.

Flix was also helpless. He could not gather his troops densely in a line. The area required to spread out all the millions of troops was huge. In a sense, the coalition forces were still scattered in this area.

The Tang army's attack prevented these troops from looking at each other, like fish on a chopping board, being slaughtered without any power to fight back.

The news coming from other directions is that Tang Jun has produced similar effects in almost all directions. Thousands of aircraft fought efficiently, and the coalition forces were passively beaten across the board.

"But, Marshal...the other party hopes that we can provide some reinforcements. They lack a large number of artillery and corresponding artillery shells..." The officer did not leave, and carefully repeated the other party's request.

After hearing these requests, Flix snorted bitterly and said, "I have artillery for them. Do they have a way to get these artillery to the front line? Don't they know how they lost all their artillery?" of?"

Everyone who has fought against the Tang Army knows that their weapons and equipment really do not play much role: the artillery transferred to the front line will be attacked by the Tang Air Force during transportation, and only about one-third can reach the front line safely; this part The artillery will be harassed by armed helicopters and long-range rocket launchers on the position, and only half of it will be left; and the remaining artillery will definitely be at a disadvantage when firing against the Tang army's artillery, and will soon be lost.

Even if it has the advantage, the coalition's artillery force cannot be an opponent of the Tang Army's artillery, which has artillery ballistic radar. Most of them are self-propelled artillery.

The two sides are not on the same level at all. As soon as they open fire, the coalition's artillery troops will expose their positions and be engulfed by the Tang army's ultra-long-range counterattack fire.

Even so, Flix's original words could not be conveyed to the Lions Empire messenger who sent the letter. After leaving the headquarters, the elf officer returned to the tent and met the Lions messenger again who was waiting for a reply.

"How's it going?" The messenger looked anxious, because he knew very well that Lines' troops had suffered heavy losses and really needed reinforcements. ,

"The situation is not very optimistic. Although we are willing to provide reinforcements and help, it will take time for the troops to move north, and the Tang Army's bombing interference has also slowed down our mobilization speed." The Elf officer polished Marshal Flix's words, saying as much as possible Make it sound nice.

"I know, I understand...but, Lines' army suffered heavy losses, and they really need some news to boost their morale." The messenger begged. He couldn't come here in vain. You have to know that this trip has wasted a lot of time: "We need help! For the sake of the alliance..."

When he comes next time, the situation may have become worse, so he must get something substantial to go back. This is what he and his boss promised before coming.

"The marshal is thinking of a way..." The elf officer was helpless because Flix did not agree to reinforcements, so he could only delay.

In fact, he himself is very clear about the situation of the reinforcements dispatched by the elven troops to the front line these days: only one out of ten trucks can get close to the front line, and there may only be 1,000 rounds of 10,000 rounds of ammunition left in the hands of front-line soldiers. .

Looking at the wreckage of the tanks that were destroyed on the road, it is clear that any move to gather troops is in vain and the gain outweighs the loss.

Rather than gathering together and being discovered and destroyed by the Tang Army's planes, it is better to hide in the original place and let the Tang Army destroy them bit by bit... because this will consume more of the Tang Army's time, and can be said to be a more successful defensive tactic.

However, such tactics are not without flaws. As the battle continues, troops that are scattered and unable to assemble will become more and more fragile, and it will become easier and easier to be eliminated.

They will surrender and be defeated... At that time, there will be few who can really delay the Tang army. Most of these troops will become prisoners of war, and at most they will help consume some of the Tang army's food reserves.

"We are here to fight for the Yangmu Empire... If you stand idly by while we are attacked, it will cause great damage to the alliance between the two countries!" Hearing the other party's delay, the human messenger emphasized dissatisfiedly.

Just as he was speaking, the air defense siren was sounded again, and the Tang Army's air raids began again: only this time, the target of the two thunder and lightning attack aircraft was still the town where the previous coalition headquarters was located, which was far away from where they were hiding now. The place is some distance away.

Standing on the edge of the forest, watching the smoke rising from the town in the distance, and watching the two Thunder attack aircraft swooping, firing and circling over the town, the Lions Empire's courier didn't know what it was like.

"See? It's also very difficult for us here. It's not that we don't want to help, it's that we really have no way to help." Looking at the town being attacked in the distance, the elf officer explained helplessly: "I will Let me help you again... please Marshal allocate troops as much as possible to try to support you..."

"Thank you, thank you." Lines' messenger subconsciously thanked...
