In a hidden underground bunker, a dwarf worker was desperately tightening a screw with a wrench. He was repairing a damaged Scud missile launcher. This was one of the few they had that could hit the Tang Army's occupation.
The beach is equipped with weapons.
"How long will it take to repair it?" the officer of the Dwarf Missile Force asked impatiently as he looked at the parts and tools on the floor, as well as the seven or eight busy workers.
"About 3 hours? It will take some time for the spare parts to be delivered, but we will fix this thing as soon as possible." The veteran of the logistics force reported to his superiors.
The other side of the launch vehicle was hit by shrapnel in many places. There were some craters and some holes that were penetrated.
A bomb almost destroyed the Scud missile launcher, but luckily it only suffered some injuries and was not completely destroyed.
Another missile launch vehicle of this missile company was not so lucky. It was directly hit by the Tang Army's bomb and was completely scrapped on the launch site.
For the Ice Empire, the ballistic missile force is undoubtedly a treasure, a trump card that is easily unwilling to be used.
Therefore, these missile launch vehicles are deployed in high-standard positions with bunkers. They are usually hidden in underground garages and cannot be driven out easily.
However, due to technical limitations, the launch process of Scud missiles is actually very complicated and very demanding.
Let’s not talk about refueling and other tasks, just talk about the missile launch site, which is a big project: the missile launch vehicle needs a launch site that is nearly flat and has a tight ground. This launch site also needs to have an entry position.
roads, and dedicated areas for parking various auxiliary vehicles.
For such a large launch site, with roads, parking lots and launch sites, there is no concealment at all from the sky.
In actual combat, either this kind of missile launch site will be far away from the enemy's strike range, or we need to have enough cover to contain the enemy - unfortunately, the dwarves have neither.
The strike radius of the Tang Army's naval aviation far exceeds the actual range of the Scud missile, and the Tang Army's air-to-ground strike methods are enough to suppress the Scud missile.
"This is the only launch vehicle left in our battalion. It must be repaired as soon as possible... The front line is waiting for our support." The commander of the Dwarf Missile Force spoke anxiously again, emphasizing the importance of this launch vehicle.
.
They don't have many high-tech weapons in their hands, and the Scud is one of the more powerful ones. If the Scud missiles cannot continue to harass the Tang Army's beachhead, then more Tang troops will come ashore soon, and the situation of the dwarves will become even more passive.
"We are already doing our best, sir." The logistics veteran of the maintenance unit explained again: "Without spare parts, there is nothing we can do."
The Tang Army's bombing is still continuing, but because there are too many targets, the intensity does not seem to be exaggerated. It is precisely because of this that this underground bunker has survived and is still functioning until now.
Because there were so many targets, the Tang army did not even conduct serious air strikes on the important port of the dwarves, Yongdong Port, and the shipping business there was not greatly affected.
…
"The good news is that Dorne is willing to assist us immediately. They said that they are willing to immediately provide 400 pilots, as well as 200 Type 262 attack aircraft, and 200 Type 86 fighter jets to go north to join the war." In the main hall of Ironforge, the dwarf diplomacy
The minister reported good news to Binghan I.
Although Dorne is relatively far away, the air force's transition speed is still fast enough. It only takes two or three days at most for Dorne's air power to reach the battlefield.
Binghan I's face looked a little better. All he had heard in the past two days was bad news: The day before yesterday, the Tang Dynasty declared war on the dwarves. Yesterday, several positions of the steel barrier were lost. I just woke up this morning. There is only one bad news.
Next one.
"What did the Susas Empire say?" After being silent for about two seconds, he suddenly asked: "What did the Lions Empire say?"
"Both countries promised to secretly assist us with 100 aircraft and 100 pilots, but on the books, these pilots all belong to Dorne..." the Foreign Secretary immediately replied.
This was the result of his continuous efforts. He had been emphasizing the Tang Dynasty's ambition to attack the Eastern Continent to several countries in the south, trying to draw all these countries into the water.
Several countries were indeed afraid, so they agreed to some of the dwarves' requests. On the one hand, they condemned the Tang Kingdom diplomatically, and on the other hand, they first provided some small support to show their support for the Ice Empire.
The only one who is still waiting and watching is the Yangmu Empire. The elves still have a deep prejudice against the dwarves. In addition, they are not willing to tear up the friendly alliance with the Tang State... However, Yangmu I is also worried that the ambitions of the Tang State are not under control. He
It's already starting to waver.
These are all the results of the diplomatic efforts of the dwarves. The Eastern Continent is indeed uniting little by little in an attempt to resist the invasion of the Tang Empire.
However, compared with the attack speed of the Tang Empire, this reaction speed seemed a bit slow. In the afternoon of this day, the Tang army had swept through the sides and rear of Position 4 and occupied a large area where the dwarves had built fortifications.
The 1st Armored Division of the Tang Dynasty is advancing deep into the Dwarves, and their target is the important city "Benn" in the core area of the steel barrier.
As long as Benn is captured, in a sense, the steel barrier will be split from the middle and become two sections: one section is the large area from position 1 to position 3 and its depth, and the other section
It is from position 7 to position 10 and its depth area.
Therefore, next, whether the dwarves can defend Benn and whether they can stabilize their position before a large number of reinforcements arrive seems to determine the outcome of this battle.
"Where are the reinforcements? Can they make it in time?" Binghan I continued to ask.
"Your Majesty, the good news is that General Moss's tactics have indeed worked to a certain extent. The Tang army has too many targets to attack, and so far they have not paralyzed Everwinter Port." The prime minister of the Ice Empire stood up and replied.
"Our troops can land directly from Neverwinter Port. Such reinforcements are very fast." He paused and continued: "But I think the Tang Army may launch an air attack on Everwinter Port at any time..."
"Tell Moss to hold on until the reinforcements arrive no matter what! The mobilization order has been issued, and one million new soldiers will soon be added to the steel barrier!" He stood up from his throne as he spoke: "At any cost
