After the Tang Army's troops occupied Position 4, they had almost guaranteed the absolute safety of part of the landing site. Although the dwarf troops symbolically fired some Scud missiles, the damage caused was almost negligible.
On the afternoon when the main force of the Tang Army began to land, the Tang Army had already launched a full-scale attack on Position 6.
At this time, the dwarf defenders at position 6 were in a bit of trouble: the Tang army had assembled thousands of soldiers and fought steadily under the cover of tanks. The dwarf defenders were driven out of their position without any chance.
By the evening of that day, the dwarves had been driven out of Position 6 and could only continue to reinforce the defense line near Position 7.
In the deep area, the Tang Army not only controlled the airport behind the second line of defense at Position 5, but also seized control of a highway forward.
Although the actual connection with the paratroopers has not been established as planned, the two armies are already less than 1 kilometer apart. A troop of armored vehicles and tanks crossed this stretch of road and arrived at the area controlled by the paratroopers.
The paratroopers sent some ammunition and medicine.
Everyone knows that this distance is nothing. The Tang army will successfully join forces early the next morning, and then the Tang army's occupied area will become a Z shape.
This shape is very interesting. It has a protruding part that can threaten the dwarf defense lines on both sides at any time. It also seems to be under a two-line attack by the dwarf troops.
This formation will test the strength comparison between the two sides. The dominant side will gain huge initiative in the battle. As long as you take the initiative to attack, it is possible to open up the situation and achieve amazing results.
Of course, Tiger seized this opportunity. He ordered to mobilize troops to continue fighting at night, encircling and annihilating the dwarf troops on his left flank.
He made this determination because his special forces and the troops equipped with night vision goggles had rested for a day and had recovered a lot.
With these troops, he could make the night less peaceful: when night came, the Tang army immediately launched a new round of attacks.
With the blessing of night, the speed of the Tang Army's attack continued unabated: infrared night vision devices could easily distinguish the dwarves hiding in the trenches, and attack aircraft dispatched at night could accurately drop bombs on these places where the dwarf troops were hiding.
.
Most of the bunkers carefully built by the dwarves were quickly destroyed. The remaining dwarf soldiers were surrounded and annihilated by the Tang army that rushed up before they could figure out what happened.
After the night's noise passed, the Tang army had occupied the second line of defense of the dwarves behind position 4, expanding the area under their control a lot.
The paratroopers were not idle that night. They cleared the last kilometer of the area that blocked them, and then approached an ammunition depot built by dwarves from another direction.
In the end, because the Tang army's offensive was too fierce, the dwarves had to blow up their own ammunition depot and then withdrew from the battle.
Moss waited all night in his headquarters, and then he heard the news that various positions were attacked by the Tang army to varying degrees.
Position No. 4 is almost impossible to recapture, Position No. 6 has also been lost, and the defense line deployed by the dwarves along the coast has been lost beyond recognition in a day and a night.
Binghan I called to ask him what solution he had, and Moss had no way to answer this question: He didn't have a good solution either. As of now, all his plans seem to have failed.
The paratroopers of the Tang Army were not surrounded and annihilated, and the landing troops of the Tang Army did not suffer heavy losses. The coastal defense line built by the dwarves for nearly two years did not seem to play its due role at all.
Early the next morning, the dwarf troops who had managed to stabilize their position finally breathed a sigh of relief: they were not completely driven off the coastline by the Tang army.
In fact, because of the presence of night vision goggles, the Tang Army's actions seemed to be sharper at night than during the day. The dwarf troops had to spend a lot of flares to resist at night, but they did not prepare a sufficient number of flares before.
After all, before the battle broke out, the dwarves could not have expected that the Tang Army would use its technological advantages to fight night battles on such a large scale - before, the Tang Army's night attacks were small-scale and not so deadly.
About 170 kilometers away from the beach, the dwarves' missile force is preparing for a new round of attacks. These missiles are all Scuds. The technology of this missile has been reverse engineered by the dwarves, and more than 500 of them have been produced by themselves.
However, the attack accuracy of this kind of missile has never been improved. The dwarves can only use this kind of missile as a tool for attacking cities to deter the elves in the south.
Now, the Tang Army's bombing had destroyed most of the artillery positions deployed by the dwarves near the steel barrier. The dwarves had no other choice, so they began to use their last resort, the Scud, to attack the Tang Army's landing area.
Normally, the dwarves would not be willing to squander these expensive ballistic missiles. Unfortunately, now that they have reached a critical moment, they can only use them for what they have.
Although the accuracy was not very good, due to the density of the Tang Army, this missile still achieved certain results. About 100 Tang Army soldiers died in the attack by this missile, including even a major officer.
This is almost the last chance for the Dwarf missile force. Once the Tang Army repairs the airport facilities in the landing area, the strike radius of the Tang Army's aircraft will extend to these missile launch sites, and the Dwarf missile launch vehicles will be in danger.
In fact, the missile force commanders of the Ice Empire misjudged the situation: the ballistic radar of the Tang Army that had landed had already revealed the location of the Dwarves' missile launch sites. These places were not as safe as imagined.
It was within the strike radius of the Tang Navy's carrier-based aircraft, so the Tang Army's intruders and the Flying Shark immediately launched a suppressive attack on these missile positions.
In the early morning of the second day after the Tang Army landed, the missile positions in the hinterland of the Dwarfs suffered a devastating blow. After more than 20 hours of rampage, they lost almost all their missile launchers.
If they want to continue to use Scuds to interfere with the Tang Army's landing, the dwarves can only deploy more Scud missile launchers from the south to complete subsequent attack missions.
But all this will take time. By the time these launch vehicles arrive at the Steel Barrier, the Tang Army may have almost captured the Everwinter Port... and may even have begun to use the Everwinter Port to unload cargo and attack the hinterland of the Ice Empire.
