In Benn, the area occupied by the Tang Army in the Eastern Continent, at the highest headquarters of the Tang Army's frontline air force, Xiao Yun was discussing issues with his subordinates about aerial bombs.
"We are trying our best to consume the unguided munitions we have accumulated in the past. They are used anyway. There is no problem in using those cheap bombs first." His staff explained why the Ares bombers have been performing regular bombing missions recently.
The first reason is that the God of War with a longer range is not good at throwing precision guided munitions. The second reason is that the Tang Army really has too many ordinary aerial bombs in hand.
"Will it affect the strike efficiency?" Xiao Yun doesn't mind using outdated bombs. Anyway, these bombs can explode and have a strong killing effect.
However, he was worried that such World War II-level carpet bombing would not be as efficient as precision strikes and would waste many opportunities for aircraft dispatches.
The subordinate explained: "There will definitely be some impact, but large-scale bombing is more shocking and has a greater impact on the enemy's morale."
In fact, they also want to invest more Intruder attack aircraft and drop more precision-guided munitions as soon as possible, but the problem is that the main battlefield of the Army is in the coastal Saint-Lô area, and there is nothing too big on the 11th and 9th Group Armies.
Big action.
If the battle line does not continue to push south, the airport will naturally not be closer to Ironforge. In this case, God of War and Ying Long are obviously still the best pair.
Xiao Yun, who wanted to quickly use up the outdated ammunition in his hands, asked: "How many times can the existing ammunition be enough for our bombers?"
"If the scale of shipping continues to expand, it will probably take at least dozens of times to completely consume all the aerial bombs we have stockpiled." His subordinates replied with some embarrassment.
The terrifying production capacity of Datang Group can completely support the consumption of the front line. If production is run at full capacity, it is very likely that the front line will use more and more materials.
Hearing that there were still so many ordinary aerial bombs, Xiao Yun smiled bitterly and sighed: "We really haven't lost production."
The staff officer shrugged his shoulders: "Many of them were mass-produced before the war against Qin. There was no way, the technology was not mature at that time, so the production was still based on ordinary aerial bombs."
They dispatched reconnaissance planes and satellites to confirm the results of the bombing of Ironforge these days. No matter from which direction, these bombings were very successful.
Although the bombing routine used by the Tang Army was still at the level of World War II, the accuracy has still to be improved a little after so many years of technical development.
A large number of bombs fell into the dwarf industrial area, and it was obvious that the dwarf industrial production had almost come to a standstill.
The chimneys that used to spit out black smoke day and night are now almost invisible, and many factories have been completely destroyed and lost production capacity.
Judging from various photos, the dwarves are relocating their factories. As for how effective such relocation will be, that is another question.
…
Marshal Felix looked at his damage report with a sad face, and no longer knew what to say. The Tang army's bombing also affected him, and most of the supplies promised by the dwarves were actually unable to be supplied.
The dispatch of many supplies was delayed because transportation lines were cut off by bombings, and more and more supplies were directly crossed off the supply list because they could not be produced.
Although ammunition cannot be used interchangeably between the two countries, there are still many other supplies that can be mixed and used. For example, gauze bandages, medicines, canned food, etc.
If the dwarves can provide these supplies, then the elves can concentrate on transporting ammunition from the rear, which will reduce the pressure on logistical supplies.
However, as transportation was paralyzed and production capacity dropped sharply, the dwarves were able to provide less and less supplies, and the elves had to transport more supplies from their own homes, which obviously occupied the ammunition transportation capacity.
"A lot of medicine has been consumed again, and I don't know when the supplies will come... When will this kind of thing end." He lamented and threw the documents on the table.
Dorne's first batch of reinforcements has passed by Lions and arrived in Sussus. These troops are still waiting to pass by the Poplar Empire and enter the Ice Empire to join the battle.
In addition, the Susus Empire troops that have already participated in the war also need supplies. Although the combat effectiveness of these light infantry is average, the total amount of supplies required is not large, but after all, there are still hundreds of thousands of people. Food, drink, and diarrhea are a huge expense every day.
.
Flix didn't see the role of his own strength advantage at all. He only saw the huge amount of supplies consumed by several group armies every day, which brought unprecedented pressure to the entire logistics and transportation.
Transporting troops requires capacity, as does transporting ammunition, replenishing equipment, and transporting supplies... Now that the roads are paralyzed, the troops transporting supplies are being bombed, and the hundreds of thousands of troops on the front line have simply become a joke.
Due to insufficient supplies, these troops could not even exert one-tenth of their combat effectiveness! Under the interference and attacks of the Tang army, they were no different from fools.
As the frontline commander of the coalition forces, the only thing Marshal Flix has to read every day is the loss report: thousands of casualties a day, but he can't even touch the edge of the Tang Army's position. This kind of thing has been going on for several days.
Oh my god.
"Marshal! I just received a telegram from Ironforge."
"Huh?" After taking the telegram from the other party's hand, Flix saw another piece of bad news that annoyed him: Ironforge was bombed again.
The last time Ironforge was bombed, he couldn't wait for the cement, steel bars and other materials needed to build fortifications. This time, the telegram said that he might not be able to provide even bandages and the like.
"A bunch of losers! Idiots! We actually fought with such a bunch of stupid pigs for so long!" Flix gritted his teeth in hatred and crumpled the message into a ball.
The message said that the dwarves were thinking of ways to transport equipment to the south to rebuild industrial production capacity, but this process would take a lot of time, and now the consumption on the front line could only rely on reserves.
The problem is... Flix has no so-called inventory reserves at all! His troops have just entered the vicinity of Saint Lo, where are the so-called excess supplies?
All his ammunition had to be transported from China. Those roads were in tatters due to bombing by the Tang army. Even so, there were still Susas' "friendly troops" fighting with him...
For Flix, the nearly one million troops in his hands were the guarantee for him to barely remain undefeated. It was also a pressure on him in terms of material consumption, but it was not the capital for him to win.
