A series of rockets covered the carefully camouflaged artillery positions. The artillery deployed on small mounds had a very good range of fire and could cover a considerable area.
Just now, the dwarf artillerymen who learned that the Tang Army was attacking their own front-line defensive positions were preparing to cover their positions with artillery fire, hoping to prevent the Tang Army's attack.
But just when these artillerymen carried their ammunition out of the bunker, they saw those scary Hind helicopters.
Before they could panic, rockets flew towards them, falling from the sky and directly hitting the faces of these dwarf gunners.
Explosions came one after another, and the exploding ammunition and the rockets that landed on the ground were all powerful, directly turning the dwarf's artillery position into a sea of flames.
The firepower of the surrounding anti-aircraft guns was sparse and unable to intercept the massacre of these helicopters. In the desperate eyes of the dwarves, the second batch of Tang Army helicopters that arrived slowly descended and opened the side hatch.
The Tang Army soldiers carried in the cabin jumped out and quickly occupied the entire dwarf artillery position under the cover of helicopter fire. They moved very quickly. After occupying these small highlands, they immediately established a circular defense line.
At this moment, the dwarf troops were in chaos. Reports from the Tang Army were found everywhere. No one responded to these questions because their headquarters was still solving their own problems.
The Tang Army's anti-radiation missiles once again showed their power, greeting the dwarf headquarters at all levels who had gradually relaxed because they had not been attacked recently.
The communication equipment of some headquarters was blown up, some directly connected to the commanders were turned into bomb craters, command communications at all levels were almost paralyzed, and the rest were overwhelmed by the massive amount of news.
Electronic interference made the radio completely useless, and telephone contact became meaningless because the situation changed so quickly. In less than an hour, the Tang army broke through the defense line carefully built by the dwarves for more than 20 days.
Afterwards, these Tang troops cooperated with the airborne raiding troops and came to a mercury-filled place: they quickly penetrated and divided and surrounded the dwarf troops without any effort.
Having lost their command and not knowing what was going on, the dwarf soldiers, who were short of ammunition, surrendered to the Tang army in whole companies. Until this time, they had no idea how big the Tang army's attack was.
When they saw an almost endless line of armored vehicles and tanks rolling forward, they realized that the Tang Army was serious about their actions.
But what's the use of knowing it? Their weapons have been confiscated. Now they can only stand on the roadside, staring at the passing Tang vehicles with a pair of frightened eyes.
For the Tang army, this was a victory march: most Tang soldiers didn't even have a chance to fire a shot, and the battle had turned into a racing match.
Everyone was rushing forward, hoping to gain some useful military exploits before darkness fell. Battlefield discipline was no longer even that important, and some soldiers even did things that were expressly prohibited.
In order to run fast enough, the light vehicles rushed in front of the heavy vehicles. The veterans from Qin no longer cared about the danger. This time they finally felt the speed of Tang-style operations.
In the past, they were all chased and defeated by the Tang army. Now the roles have changed and they have become the hunters chasing others.
The killing moment has begun! In order to rush to the front quickly, some Qin soldiers were even willing to lie on the roof of the car and advance. This dangerous behavior obviously violated the battlefield discipline of the Tang army.
The tactic of flying down to the enemy's rear was also thought up by Ying'an under the inspiration of Tang Guo's chief of staff. In his opinion, such a good tactic must be used... As for the possible losses, he didn't care at all.
Just kidding, Datang... or Qin soldiers are not afraid of those casualties at all. As long as they can win, Ying'an doesn't think the loss of thousands of people is a big deal.
The Qin people were defeated by the Tang army because they could not see the hope of victory. Now it was a favorable situation. At this time, no one gave up the good opportunity to win military glory because they were afraid of death.
Why did the people of Qin rejoice when they heard about the war? Wasn't it because they won more in a fight? If they often lost, who would be so crazy and willing to fight...
The battle that was originally thought to last for a few days was immediately decided. The Tang army exceeded its opponent several times in terms of ammunition delivery alone. When the coalition forces believed that they had a numerical advantage, they were crushed by the firepower of the Tang army.
.
In just half an hour, the Tang Army fired thousands of artillery shells and rockets and launched hundreds of missiles, which directly stunned the dwarf 8th Army, which had just received reinforcements and recovered somewhat.
Hundreds of tanks that were too late to react were turned into scrap metal, hundreds of anti-aircraft guns and howitzers became trophies of the Tang army, thousands of soldiers were killed, and the remaining defeated generals either surrendered or stayed there to die.
When these things happened, Truman, the commander of the dwarf 8th Army, could not even mobilize his guard troops. He knew that the Tang Army had begun to attack, but he knew nothing about other issues.
He didn't know how many people the Tang Army had dispatched, or which of his positions they were attacking, let alone where the opponent had already attacked, or even whether his own headquarters was being targeted!
That's right, he didn't even know if his headquarters was safe! Because there was news that his headquarters had been attacked, Truman, who was inspecting outside, did not dare to go back, so he had to find a temporary headquarters to mobilize troops.
Send generals.
Unfortunately, due to the communication breakdown, he could not find his troops at all, so he could only let the troops he could contact fight on their own, barely maintaining the chaotic situation.
This is how a racing action began. On the first day of the Star Project, the 11th Army of the Tang Empire split the allied defense line from the middle. The 8th Army of the Dwarves was completely thrown into disarray and was almost split into pieces by the Tang Army's front.
Two cuts.
Truman tried his best to stabilize his position at the last moment - or in other words, the 7th Army behind him helped him stabilize his position.
Because they were worried that both wings would be threatened, and because the troops needed to stop for supplies, after storming forward for more than 70 kilometers, the Tang army switched to defense that afternoon.
Then the 11th Group Army sent its own "reconnaissance troops" to the left and right. This reconnaissance did not matter, they directly detected and eliminated the two dwarf infantry divisions... The dwarf infantry who had no time to retreat surrendered in large numbers, and about 20,000 people became the Tang Army.
Prisoners of the reconnaissance force.
Counting the resumption of battle during the morning advance, the 11th Army captured nearly 40,000 dwarf troops in one day, basically crippling the 8th Dwarf Army.
