The completely unprepared Benen City defense troops were stunned by the sudden arrival of elite Tang troops. They had no idea why the Tang troops appeared in the city, and they could not organize an effective defense at all.
Street fighting also needs to be organized. If they are just running around like guerrillas, then the troops without logistical supplies can only run around for a few hours at most.
Street fighting in modern warfare requires a large amount of supplies, so urban street fighting like Stalingrad requires a stable "rear area".
In other words, street fighting can continue only when the front line can be stabilized within an acceptable range.
The dwarf officer in Benn City actually has no confidence in maintaining the battle line. He can't even find all his troops: In Benn City, the dwarves have deployed two infantry divisions, but these two infantry divisions are both light infantry divisions.
, the equipment level is average, and the combat effectiveness is not strong.
Because even the least optimistic dwarf commander did not expect that the Tang army could advance the front to the vicinity of Benn City within three days.
General Moss even believed that the two lines of defense in front of his steel barrier could take at least three to five days for the Tang army.
Unfortunately, everything was based on his estimation. The Tang army basically broke through two lines of defense on the first day, and on the second day they were completely waiting for more of their follow-up troops to come ashore.
After waiting for more follow-up troops, the Tang Army immediately launched a larger-scale attack. Such an attack disrupted the Ice Empire's pre-war combat deployment from the beginning.
Rushing all the way home from the airport, the dwarf working in Benn City felt that his breath was blowing away his beard. It is tradition for dwarves to grow beards. Ninety-nine out of a hundred dwarves have beards, and one has a beard.
Short beard.
"Hoo, ho..." He breathed heavily as he rushed into the building where his home was located. The dwarf's building had its own style. It was three to five stories high, with a pointed roof and small windows. It looked like a bunker.
House architecture in all cold regions will maintain a similar style: small windows to better retain heat, thick walls for better warmth, and spires to make it easier to clear snow.
…
Such buildings can easily become bunkers and bunkers in war. They are very strong and can easily survive artillery fire. They can even remain standing even if they are directly hit by artillery shells.
"Hurry up... pack... your things! Humans... are coming!" He stepped on the wooden stairs, making a creaking sound, and shouted loudly as he went upstairs.
Hearing his shouts, the civilians living in the building opened their doors one after another. They saw their neighbor with blood on his face, and they were shocked and at a loss.
"Where's Tommy? Buck! Where's my Tommy?" My husband went out with the neighbor, and now only the neighbor ran back. The trembling voice of the fat female dwarf living downstairs echoed in the corridor.
"I don't know! There were gunshots everywhere. I ran back desperately. I didn't know where Tommy was or what happened to him." The dwarf who called Buck shouted angrily as he went upstairs.
Of course he would not know that Tommy had been beaten to death beside the runway of the airport, and even if he knew, he would not be able to answer in this situation.
What he has to do now is to go home quickly, ask his wife to pack her luggage, and run out of Benn City in the other direction before the Tang people call.
There was a lot of excitement in the corridor, and on the road outside the building, a jeep with the Iceberg emblem of the Frozen Empire painted on the engine hood staggered past. The officer in the car was so nervous that he didn't even know what he was doing.
Is the headquarters still there now...
This officer is the commander of one of the two infantry divisions deployed by the dwarves in Benn City. He just went to a meeting and said that the Tang Army had occupied a field airport 20 kilometers away and asked them to suspend repairs in Benn City.
's airport.
After all, it is about to become a frontline city, so the airport will naturally no longer play any role. Repairing it will be in vain, so it is better to save some energy and build some defensive fortifications.
Yes, the airport construction is suspended, but more bunkers and trenches need to be repaired to prevent the Tang army from seizing Benn City.
But just after the meeting, the Tang army rushed over - who knew that the opponent was so fast? Could it be that the dwarf troops along the way were all staged?
According to past combat experience, the field troops will gradually be unable to support themselves and then be defeated and return to the city. Those troops who have been fighting for a long time in ragged clothes and with low morale will merge with the garrison troops in the city and then form a new army in the city.
line of defense.
The enemy will not attack such a city easily. They will surround the city and start shelling, prepare for several days, and then try to surround the city and destroy the city's determination to resist.
Finally, among the ruins left by the shelling, the two sides started fighting in the streets. The weaker side fought hard until they ran out of ammunition and food, and finally surrendered to win the respect of their opponents...
But what the hell is this? On a battlefield full of dwarf field troops, the Tang Army's troops advanced more than 20 kilometers a day? Isn't this a joke? Are the dwarf troops marching so fast?
Just as the jeep was swaying and running wildly on the streets full of rioters and refugees, a Black Hawk helicopter passed through the buildings and discovered the target on the ground.
It slowed down and passed the fuselage sideways. In the hidden side hatch, a Tang Army soldier holding a machine gun began to fire.
The golden bullet casings fell off the plane one by one, as if there was a golden rain, and the tracer bullets were densely packed, forming a deadly wall.
The jeep was beaten into a sieve in an instant, the glass was shattered instantly, and a row of bullet holes was left on the hood. Blood sprayed on the broken glass, and the car lost control and rushed towards the outer wall of the building nearby.
With a loud noise, the car was completely twisted and paralyzed on the side of the road. A body in the car fell from the passenger seat, holding a document bag in his hand. That was the division commander's adjutant, and of course he was also in the car.
.
The sudden appearance of a helicopter made the scene even more chaotic. The defeated soldiers on the side ran wildly into the surrounding alleys without any resistance at all. The civilians who fled in a hurry also fled with their heads in their hands, screaming and scattering like birds and beasts.
A few minutes later, the Tang Army's Type 96 main battle tank drove past the scrapped jeep. Xiang Ziyu followed the tank with his soldiers. He turned his head and saw the white sheets floating in the windows next to him.
