Of course, it was impossible for Flix to commit suicide and apologize for losing a position. He was just squeezed into a somewhat embarrassing position along with the remnants of the 5th Army.
He was still looking for ways to block the Tang army's attack and help the Elf 7th Army stabilize its flank defenses.
However, his efforts were in vain. One day later, the Tang Army's forward armored force successfully joined forces with the Marine Corps in Rewind Port.
At this point, the Tang Army's strategic goal of burning the war along the coastline to the elves' mainland has been completed, and the entire front has been stretched to a sufficient extent for the Tang Army to spread out.
Strauss's 3rd Army launched a fierce attack, and the Dwarf troops continued to retreat. They gave up a large number of positions and retreated for more than 100 kilometers before stopping.
It was not that they stopped the Tang Army's attack, but that the Tang Army stopped on its own. At this stage of the war, the Tang Army had already taken control of the initiative on the battlefield, and it was unlikely that it would change its battle plan because of the coalition's counterattack.
The bombing from the sky continued, and the coalition forces had a huge advantage in strength but were still unable to form an effective fist to fight back. Countless supplies were paralyzed on the road and were consumed for various reasons.
The coalition forces are robbing civilians of food on the front lines, and the civilians behind who are short of medical care are naturally unlikely to abide by the law and let go of the more expensive supplies.
On more than one occasion, looting of military trains occurred: bombed train carriages and convoys that had to stop and wait because the road was destroyed may all become targets of crazy people.
These civilians couldn't afford to live anymore. Their food was taken away by the army, and the life they had managed to scrape together completely lost hope because of the war. So they became rogues, snatching all the supplies they could find in order to survive.
The entire war zone became chaotic. It seemed that fighting against the Tang army had become a distant thing. Eliminating each other was the primary task of these people.
Civilians gathered together to loot various things, and their weapons and equipment became better and better day by day. The rifles, machine guns and even rocket launchers found on the military columns gave them the same powerful force as the army.
The army, which had almost no way to obtain supplies, gradually became more crazy. They began to slaughter villages and towns, treating everyone as rebel saboteurs.
When Tang Jun came over, they couldn't believe their eyes. They saw the burned village and the corpses piled together... For a moment, they even doubted whether the other party had made a mistake.
Something.
Although in propaganda, the Tang Army was a returnee and a liberator... But this was just a propaganda statement. Now everyone seems to believe this statement, because everything they saw really proves that they are here to liberate this place.
As time went by, the Tang army's offensive seemed to be becoming easier and easier. In many places where Tang soldiers passed by in trucks, traces of the hasty retreat of the dwarf troops could still be seen.
The abandoned airport was filled with the wreckage of various aircraft. Due to the approaching Tang army, the precious parts of these aircraft had not had time to be dismantled and taken away.
In the past, dwarves would dismantle the engine and other valuable parts from the plane and transport them away. Now these things are left on the wreckage of the plane, lying so innocently in the hangar.
There are countless small holes punctured by shrapnel on the ceiling of the hangar. The sunlight shines through these small holes and shines on the crooked wings of the aircraft, making it lonely and desolate.
There are abandoned construction vehicles next to the large hole on the airport runway that has not yet been filled, and some trucks that cannot be driven away are parked in the open space.
The flagpole where the national flag should be hanging is empty, the glass on the building has been broken, the dilapidated iron door has fallen aside, and there are no weapons in the bunker surrounded by sandbags. Everything is explaining to the passing Tang soldiers.
One thing is how embarrassed the dwarf troops were when they left.
The 10th Group Army had retreated more than 110 kilometers in one month. This was the speed at which the Tang Army retreated without a strong attack.
Now, as several groups of Tang troops continue to advance, the battle line is getting closer and closer to Ironforge. Many dwarves are beginning to doubt whether the things mentioned in their broadcasts are true.
"Subjects of the Empire! We are still fighting the doomed invasion of the evil Tang people in the north! Our soldiers are very brave. They have repelled the enemy's attacks again and again and defended our sacred land!"
"His Majesty the Emperor visited a pasture on the outskirts of Ironforge this morning. The milk produced there is delicious and delicious... The enemy cannot destroy our production, and we can still drink fresh milk!"
"Last month we produced 1,000 cannons. If the enemy destroys one cannon, we will make ten! We will use steel to defeat steel! The will of the dwarves is indestructible! Under the leadership of His Majesty the Great Emperor, we will eventually move towards the final victory.
victory!"
"This morning, our air force bombed Benn...It is now a sea of fire. Air Force generals said that the enemy suffered heavy losses and the air attack achieved a great success."
"Click..." A dwarf walked up to the radio and reached out to turn off the switch on it. The room suddenly became much quieter, and the helpless sigh of the female dwarf seemed a bit abrupt in the quiet environment.
"My dear, isn't this all good news? Why turn it off..." Many civilians in Ironforge have become a little irritable recently, because no matter from every aspect, they seem to be getting closer to war.
.
But despite this, the radio still tirelessly broadcasts some lies that sound a bit unreliable. Although many people are willing to believe it, some people still sneer at these claims.
"Have you ever seen how the front line continued to win, but the capital was bombed more and more miserably?" The man snorted. He was an official, so he naturally knew some inside information.
Even if you don't know, you can clearly judge from the number of times Ironforge has been bombed that the enemy is getting closer.
"Didn't the report say that the enemy is very crazy? They are bombing our capital at all costs just to destroy our will to fight." The woman was very optimistic. Anyway, the bombings targeting industrial areas had no impact on her.
Although vegetable prices have been rising recently, for an official family like them, the slightly higher price is not unaffordable.
