Eric finally got his wish and landed on the Eastern Continent. He was still middle-aged when he left, but now he is a little old man.
Based on his grade, he is not considered young among the commanders of the Tang Empire. He is even much older than Tiger and Redman, who are already marshals.
This time he landed in the Eastern Continent, or returned to the Eastern Continent, it really touched Eric a lot personally: when he was ordered to lead the troops to transport civilians out of Bunas, he was in a hurry when he left, even leaving valuables behind.
All the equipment and factories were left to those who drove them away.
Now he is back, with more than 100,000 soldiers, fighting like a tiger for thousands of miles! He is not going to leave this time, he wants to stay here until he dies and is buried in the earth.
The officer who came to greet him helped Eric open the car door. Eric discovered that the car was no longer an off-road vehicle used by field troops, but a luxury public sedan used by serious headquarters.
With the transportation capacity to deliver this kind of stuff to the front line, it seems that the logistical supply problem is about to be solved.
In fact, if you think about it, since Tiger has approved the departure of the 7th Army, it means that the maritime transport capacity is relatively abundant.
Therefore, without saying anything about such a luxurious reception car, Eric got into the car, closed his eyes and fell asleep: although the road was on a large ship, it would definitely not be comfortable after being bumpy for several days.
He wanted to take a rest, stay in good condition to meet Marshal Tiger, and then secure a good position for the 7th Army to participate in the next "Operation Stars".
Marshal Tiger and the General Staff Headquarters in Chang'an jointly drafted the next phase of the action plan. The entire plan was large in scale and was codenamed "Stars."
When the Tang Empire completes the transportation operation of the 7th Army, it will use the 4 armies as the main force to launch a full-scale attack on the Ice Empire.
The core goal of "Project Stars" is to completely annihilate the 2nd and 3rd Elf armies, and expand the results along the coastline south. The reason why the main attack target is set on the Elf side is to inflict heavy damage on the elves and inflict heavy losses on the combined forces.
Countries in mainland China create "contradictions".
Just stare at a country and beat it until it hurts or kill it! This kind of differential treatment is the easiest to sow the seeds of dissatisfaction in an alliance with an unstable foundation. You may not see anything in a short time, but over time
, the elves who are always targeted will definitely cause trouble with the dwarves.
Another reason for attacking the coast first was that the Tang Army hoped to continue to seize more ports, expand the contact area, and create favorable conditions for subsequent operations.
The Tang Army's military strength has obviously not been fully deployed. The four armies currently engaged in combat are already slightly crowded. Expanding the contact area will become the Tang Army's best choice.
Expanding the control area along the coastline is supported by maritime forces. Considering the combat effectiveness of the Tang Empire's maritime fleet, it is a better choice no matter how you look at it.
Moreover, fighting like this can bring the flames of war to the elven territory as quickly as possible, allowing the elves to enjoy the pain of skin-cutting.
The last reason: Once the Tang army goes south and threatens Rewind Port and Osa Port...it's hard to say whether the elves will still be in the mood to care about the war situation in the Ice Empire.
Compared with Yongdong Port, Rewind Port and Osa Port further south obviously have more delicious food. If the Tang army controls this place, supply transportation will become more convenient.
For the Star Project, the Tang Army is not only continuing to expand and renovate Yongdong Port, they are also building new airports, hoarding more supplies, and sending more troops to the front line.
I heard that the Tang Army will soon deploy strategic bombers on the Eastern Continent. As long as those H-6 Gods of War begin to participate in the war, the cities in the rear of the Ice Empire will suffer.
…
On the position of the 3rd Elf Army, which had always been in contact with the Tang Army, an Elf soldier looked nervously at his superior.
The officer also wore an M35 helmet. The pointed ears on both sides made this helmet look completely different from the traditional M35 helmet.
He stood in front of the soldier with his hands behind his back, and asked calmly: "Did you really see clearly?"
"Yes, sir! I have indeed seen it clearly." The elf army was built based on the Tang Empire. The two countries had the most contact with each other due to their former alliance, so the title of the elf army is very standardized within the army. There is no "Sir"
The confusion between "" and "sir".
"It is indeed a new number... '7', this is the first time it has appeared." The soldier reported what he had seen with great certainty. He was an artillery observer. When observing the Tang Army's position, he discovered that
A unique armored reconnaissance vehicle.
Those who have been fighting against the elves are the 1st Army of the Tang Empire, and the troops flanking the 1st Army are the 11th Army that was confirmed not long ago. Now that a unit with the number 7 suddenly appears, it is obviously not a good thing.
"Report the news... It seems we are in trouble." The Elf officer frowned and said in a heavy tone.
If it turns out that the Tang Army has invested a new group army, then they are in very danger now: just the 1st Army Group of the Tang Dynasty has already given the two elf generals Van Kruse and Lourdes a headache. Another group army and their elves
It's really hard to deal with.
Now it is no longer time for them to talk about how to attack. The problem now is how to withstand the attacks of the two Tang Army...
"I heard that human troops have already moved north... As long as we persist, reinforcements will arrive." Looking at his commander's sad face, the adjutant next to him comforted him.
"What's the use of talking about this? At our level, we can't help ourselves... we are all cannon fodder." The officer smiled bitterly, and then left the trench bunker reinforced with wood and said: "Build 20 more bunkers! Add more machine guns.
quantity……"
As he said, they can do nothing but follow orders and complete their missions. Whether they die in battle or survive depends entirely on luck, and personal choice is not that important at all.
"Yes!" The battalion commander and company commanders on the side agreed quickly. They had been repairing the fortifications these days, as if they had forgotten that they were attacking.
It is really shameful that this war has reached this state. The elves like them traveled thousands of miles to come here with great momentum, but in the end they attacked for ten days and only advanced a few kilometers...
