Everyone knows that the Tang Army is strengthening, but everyone is still guessing to what extent it has strengthened.
Because there were almost no reconnaissance planes that could fly over the heads of the Tang Army, most of the time the coalition commanders could only rely on speculation to estimate what the Tang Army had built that damn Everwinter Port into.
In fact, as the project continues to advance, the Tang Army can already use five large docks to unload their personnel and cargo.
With the putting of these docks into use, the Tang Empire is sending massive amounts of supplies to the Eastern Continent. They are coming so quickly and are much more ferocious than when they left.
With more transportation capacity, the Tang Army has begun to build a large airport at the same time, and dispatched more transport aircraft to the theater to perform transportation tasks.
In recent operations, the Tang Army has dispatched 130 transport aircraft to airdrop supplies near the front line to support the Tang Army's operations.
This speed of supply gave the Allies a headache. The original plan to take advantage of the Tang army's lack of troops to counterattack all came to nothing.
In fact, after holding the defensive line for 23 days, the Tang army had already received a large number of reinforcements. Many commanders were already ready to take action and were no longer willing to wait passively.
Feng Kezhi prepared to launch a counterattack and hit the 8th Army of the Ice Empire from the flank to regain the ground for the previous small failure.
Ying'an is also preparing to make contributions, and as a Qin official, he is also eager to prove himself. The newly formed 11th Army also has many Qin veterans, and they also hope to prove their loyalty to their emperor through a victory.
The progress of the Tang Army was faster than planned, because the coalition forces really couldn't put any pressure on them: since the frontline troops did not need so much supplies to hold their positions, more transportation capacity could be allocated to ensure the construction of the rear.
As a result, nearly ten days ahead of schedule, all the docks planned to be put into use were repaired. It is expected that more docks will be put into use in another ten days.
With the support of these docks, the Tang Army's supplies can be landed faster, and the Stars Project can be implemented ahead of schedule.
After all, the troops on the front line couldn't wait any longer. They were all gearing up to make great achievements, and Tiger was unwilling to give up this enthusiasm.
As a result, a comprehensive counterattack plan was put on the agenda, and the final plan selected was for the 11th Army to break through the center, split the opponent's defense line, and then circle toward the coastline to encircle it.
Once this tactical action is completed, the 1st and 11th armies will surround the 2nd and 3rd Elf armies, completely establishing the victory of the Ice Empire offensive war.
In order to support this battle, the Tang Army prepared more than 600 aircraft, including aircraft carrier-based aircraft, 250 helicopters, and assembled a total of 1,000 artillery pieces of various types.
To be honest, this force has already surpassed the alliance's frontal troops in quantity. The Tang Army has the upper hand in both quantity and quality.
More and more evidence shows that the Tang Army has begun to transport the 7th Army ashore, and the dwarves are also gathering as many troops as possible.
The intelligence everyone has received shows that the Tang Army is becoming stronger and seems to be becoming more and more restless on the defensive. In the recent exploratory attacks, the Tang Army always bites back, causing the coalition's feint attack troops to lose something.
It is not that there is no good news for the coalition forces. First of all, the belated 7th Army finally arrived at the front line. They brought at least 500 tanks. These effective forces were deployed behind the tired 8th Army of the Ice Empire.
An effective reinforcement.
In addition, the 10th Army of the Dwarves has also been in place, and they have been deployed behind the 9th Army. As a result, the coalition has 6 armies on the front line, and its strength is still strong.
In order to compete with the Tang Army, the Bingbing Empire is transporting the newly formed 11th and 12th Army Groups to the front line.
And there are also the 2nd and 3rd armies of the Susus Empire that are heading north. They have entered the territory of the Elf Poplar Empire and are moving along the railway. These two armies are mainly light infantry, and they will join the battle as reserves.
.
Although all the senior commanders of the coalition forces were worried and feared that the Tang Army would become stronger and stronger, the growing strength in their hands also made them very confident, confident that it was unlikely that such a large number of troops would be eaten by the Tang Army in one fell swoop.
…
Finally, on the day when the "Star Project" was implemented, Ying'an became excited. He patted his chest and assured Tiger that the 11th Army would definitely complete its offensive mission.
There is an advantage in entering combat later. Before being transported to the Eastern Continent to participate in the war, the 11th Group Army replenished a large number of new weapons and equipment, some of which were even experimental in nature.
With these weapons and equipment, and the recruitment of a large number of Qin veterans when the 11th Group Army was formed, the combat effectiveness of the entire group army is still very guaranteed.
This is also an important reason why Ying'an dares to guarantee Tiger: more than half of the soldiers in his unit have seen blood, and calling them recruits is only a relative term.
In addition to needing to adapt to new weapons and equipment, these troops are all veteran soldiers who have fought many battles. In order to adapt to new tactics and new weapons, they have trained hard in the Western Continent for a long time.
Even so, the backbone of this force is still composed of elites drawn from the main force of the Tang Empire. This is also the tradition of the Tang Empire in forming new group armies.
The officers are all freshmen who graduated from the military academy and are mixed with veteran officers, and the grassroots soldiers are also mixed with veterans and new recruits. This can ensure the combat effectiveness to the greatest extent and prevent the recruits from being wasted.
Grabbing the communicator, Ying'an issued an attack order to his troops, kicking off the Battle of the Stars: "Attention all troops...the attack has begun! Long live my emperor!"
"The attack begins! Long live our emperor!" Voices that had been silent for a long time sounded from various channels, and all the troops on standby took action.
In the sky, the Prowler, who had been on standby for a long time, turned on the electronic jamming equipment. One after another, the anti-radiation missiles detached from the missile pylon. The intruder attack aircraft began to drop missiles, accurately destroying those high-value targets that had been marked long ago.
.
Command and dispatch nodes were destroyed one after another, and ammunition supply bases were bombed one after another... Although the frontline battlefield was still a quiet and peaceful scene, most dwarves did not know that their enemies had already started attacking, but the battle had already begun.
