In the trench full of corpses, the soldiers of the Tang Army moved cautiously. It was already a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. No one could tell whether there would be some madman lying among the corpses to sneak up on them.
The two sides have become angry here, and the dwarf soldiers seem to be holding back their anger and want to defend this place at all costs. They have invested too many troops, from several battalions to several regiments, from several
The regiment turned into several divisions.
Hundreds of people were killed here every day, and then hundreds more were filled into this big hole every day to continue fighting. Until later, even the Tang army couldn't understand why the other party would defend such a place so desperately.
If we were to talk about actual effects, this train station would have been scrapped long ago! Completely scrapped! The rails had been blown to the point of being impossible to repair, the platform had been destroyed, and the surrounding buildings were about to be razed to the ground.
Not far away was the wreckage of a Type 96 main battle tank, which was destroyed next to a building. I heard that a dwarf rushed to the tank with a pack of explosives, and all three tank crew members were killed.
The soldiers of the Tang Army carrying weapons walked around a pile of scattered sandbags and stepped on the red soil to walk around the dwarf corpse on the ground. They walked very slowly, stopping from time to time to observe the surrounding terrain and cautiously explore.
An enemy sniper may be lurking around the corner.
They had to be careful. Seven soldiers were shot by the dwarves yesterday, which was already a large number for the Tang army.
However, compared to the casualties suffered by the dwarves here, the Tang army's losses can really be said to be insignificant: they have better helmets and bulletproof inserts that the opponent does not have, and these gadgets saved the lives of many soldiers.
It had not been so quiet here for a long time. Such silence made the advancing Tang army a little nervous. When they touched a collapsed building, they finally saw the friendly troops waiting for them.
Seven or eight soldiers were standing behind a wall that had mostly collapsed. The wall was so densely covered with bullet holes that it made everyone look frightened.
"You are finally here..." The leader of the Tang Army squad leader relaxed a lot when he saw the expression on the supporter's face: "We have encountered a situation here."
"I heard." The squad leader of the Tang Army who came to support nodded his head. Their communication was very smooth. They already knew what was happening here before they came: "Can you let me take a look?"
"Follow me." The squad leader signaled, and then patted one of his subordinates on the shoulder: "Lead the way and pay attention to the surrounding situation. Although the dwarves said that their people have withdrawn, they cannot be careless."
The soldier nodded slightly and walked at the front with his weapon in hand. They bypassed the collapsed low wall and walked along a path that could not be called a road to a half-collapsed building.
A group of Tang troops walked into the building. This should be one of the waiting buildings of the train station. Ironforge's train station was not advanced. As the scale continued to expand, it was divided into several waiting buildings, so it was created for Tang Jun during the fight.
A lot of trouble.
These buildings are so strong that artillery shells cannot even completely destroy them. The collapsed buildings have formed continuous ruins, making it difficult for armored vehicles to move forward.
The scene inside the station shocked the soldiers of the Tang Army who came to support them: the place was densely packed with people. There were many dwarf civilians among them, as well as countless dwarf wounded.
The opponent left them behind when they retreated. I don't know if they stayed here to wait for death or to deliberately delay the Tang Army's advance. In short, when facing so many dwarves, the Tang Army's frontline troops were really at a loss.
"There are about 1,000 people. It's really crowded in such a poor place..." The squad leader of Tang Jun paused for a moment when he discovered this place. For a moment, he found that he couldn't think of any adjectives to describe the scene in front of him.
"A few dwarf officers were over there. They stayed and explained the situation to us. The other party had no medicine to take care of these wounded people, and at the same time they were not willing to waste food on these civilians and wounded people, so they left them all to us.
." Pointing to a few dwarf officers with bandages on their heads or arms, the squad leader said helplessly.
He knew that the Tang army did not mind taking in these wounded, nor did they mind helping these civilians, but this would take a lot of time, enough for the retreating dwarves on the opposite side to establish a strong defense line in another neighborhood.
"In other words, they retreated?" The squad leader who came to support found the point from another direction: "The battle here is over?"
"Probably, the officers said that all the dwarf soldiers who could fight did retreat this morning, taking away all the ammunition, medicine and food, and leaving them behind." The squad leader who called for support nodded.
"It's finally over." He breathed a sigh of relief, and the squad leader who came to support looked at the dwarves who were crowded together like a sardine can: "You set up a warning position on the left, I will take a few people to the right, and the remaining
I'll escort them out of here."
Seeing that this building was almost a dilapidated building, they really couldn't bear to let these dwarf civilians and wounded people sleep here like this. Maybe if they waited a few more hours, someone would die of suffocation inside.
"Don't move the wounded yet, let the civilians who can walk out on their own first. On the way I came, the company commander was building a safe passage. It is estimated that the responders will arrive soon." The squad leader who came to support said as he started.
Arrange manpower.
Soon they raised a dragon flag of the Tang Dynasty at the train station. The red dragon flag fluttered in the wind, and all the Tang troops who saw it cheered.
The dwarf civilians, who had truly seen their surroundings for the first time, turned pale. They stepped on the fragmented limbs next to the crater and followed the route prescribed by the Tang Army towards the "safe zone" prepared for them by the Tang Army in the suburbs.
At least there would not be bombarded by the Tang Army itself, and there were simple tents for living there. Although the weather was getting colder, the conditions were indeed better than those in the urban areas where the fighting was ongoing.
As long as the Tang Army is willing to provide enough fuel and cotton-padded clothes and quilts for winter, at least the dwarves in the safe zone will not have the problem of large-scale freezing to death. However, the dwarves are very uneasy, and they don’t know who is waiting for them.
The Tang Empire was still the same miserable country as before.
On this day, the Tang Army officially took control of Ironforge West Station. It was also on this day that 30,000 Dornish Empire troops arrived at Ironforge and participated in this bloody city offensive and defensive battle as a "foreign regiment".
