In the history of this world, there has never been a battle that was completely supported by air force transportation. Therefore, before the start of the new Battle of Bunas, Tiger did not have any confidence.
Moreover, the Tang Army has not fought without air support and heavy firepower for a long time. No one knows what the frontline troops can do.
Therefore, Tiger, who had just arrived at Rewind Port, was not even happy to have regained his hometown of Beiling. However, many people who had regained the Empire's Longxing Land still couldn't hide their excitement.
That was the place where His Majesty the Emperor made his fortune, that was Bunas and Beiling in the past! Now they have once again been included in the embrace of the empire. Isn't this exciting enough?
In fact, the major newspapers in the Tang Empire have begun to rush to report the good news: the Tang Empire has recaptured Bunas, and the place where His Majesty the Emperor rose has returned to control.
However, such news did not make the people on the Western Continent excited, because many people thought of a question that worried them: Your Majesty became prosperous in the Eastern Continent, and now he has recaptured Bunas. Does that mean that he will eventually be defeated?
Where will His Majesty the Emperor return one day?
Frankly speaking, for the entire Western Continent, His Majesty the Emperor's favor for the Eastern Continent is not a good thing. If His Majesty the Emperor wants to live in the Eastern Continent, it will be terrible news for the entire Western Continent.
.
Linshui, the largest port in the Tang Empire, was facing a formidable enemy. Harry, who had been the mayor of Linshui, was even more embarrassed: he had managed Bunas for Tang Mo for a long time, and at the same time he was working in Linshui.
The mayor who has been serving for so many years has feelings for both sides. Now, whichever city will receive Tang Mo's favor will make him feel uncomfortable.
The people of Chang'an were also panicked. They had always been proud of being the capital of the empire, so they held their chins high when they walked out... If the emperor had the idea of moving the capital, how would they survive?
?
Therefore, the news of the liberation of Bunas did not cause any waves, but made the battle situation on the front line a little tense.
…
Outside Bunas, the Tang Army, which had already entered the position, was thinking of ways to strengthen its defense line: they refined the trenches left by the previous city guards and performed some simple processing.
In fact, they didn't have time to make any major changes, because the Lions Empire army that occupied Jade City knew the importance of speed and strength, and had already approached Bunas, ready to solve this serious problem in one fell swoop.
The commander of the Lions Empire also knew that he could not afford to delay it. After all, if the Tang Empire was given enough time, countless troops would come to Bunas and eventually turn it into another Everwinter Port or Hot Wind.
port.
The more serious problem is that Bunas surrendered directly, so all the facilities in this port are intact: this was the largest port in the world in the past, and is now at least one of the top five... With this super port
With the support of the port, the follow-up troops of the Tang Army could easily go ashore, and logistical supplies were also flowing continuously.
Therefore, the Lions Empire must fight quickly to regain control of Bunas before the main force of the Tang Empire arrives.
The main reason that gave the Lines Empire such courage was still ignorance: they had no idea that the Tang Empire had any means to remotely increase troops to Bunas, so they believed that there were only a small number of original Lines field troops and city guards in Bunas.
military.
These troops obviously have little combat effectiveness. As soon as the army arrives, these troops will flee like the defenders of Yucheng.
Anyway, it’s not like there’s nowhere to go. At least going north from Bunas, there is a railway across the forest to North Ridge. Judging from the combat effectiveness of the local garrison troops of the Lions Empire, there is a high probability that these troops will flee north to North Ridge.
.
Lanes didn't have any big ambitions. What they wanted was to recapture Bunas and drive the rebels to North Ridge. This would be considered as completing the mission.
The Lions troops attacking Bunas had no idea that at this moment, the Tang Army had begun sending people to repair the air force base in Beiling, and at the same time sent a large transport fleet approaching Bunas.
The Tang Army assembled about three divisions of troops, departed from Linshui and other ports, gathered at Longdao, and then headed to Bunas with supplies.
Of course, waiting for them to arrive seems to be a bit slow, so Tiger is also thinking of ways to mobilize troops and generals, preparing to regroup the paratroopers previously used in the Susas Empire and send them to fight in the direction of Bunas urgently.
Once the military airport in North Ridge is repaired, Bunas' troops will be able to receive sufficient air support, so that they can temporarily withstand the pressure.
Everyone is competing for speed, but because of the distance, the Lions Empire obviously has a lot of advantages. They have already captured Jade City, and they are not too far away from Bunas.
"Report!" In Yucheng, someone knocked on the door of Paul, the commander-in-chief of the Bonas side of the Lions Empire.
"Come in!" Paul put down the document in his hand, raised his head and saw his staff officer walking in, and asked, "What's the matter? Tell me."
"General! I just received news from the forward troops that they have encountered some troubles." The staff officer worriedly reported the latest news.
Originally he shouldn't have come to this job, but he also encountered the same problem, so he came over to discuss countermeasures.
Paul had been in a good mood these past few days. He was very happy to have recovered Jade City and received praise from Lions II. He collected his emotions, frowned and asked, "What's the trouble?"
The staff officer immediately said: "About 40 kilometers away from Bunas, they encountered some sporadic counterattacks."
"Counterattack? Could it be that they were cowardly and reported some of the defeated troops they encountered as enemies?" Paul's first reaction was not to believe it, because he really couldn't imagine that those city guards of Bunas
What kind of courage do you have to take the initiative?
It is unrealistic to expect those city guards who are paid in peacetime and serve as cannon fodder in wartime to achieve any results. Even if the city guards deployed in Bunas have more funds, their combat effectiveness is only slightly better than that of city guards in other areas.
Just a child.
Taking the initiative to walk out of the fortifications and confront his main field force? Are you kidding me? If Bunas's city guards had this ability, the field forces of the Lions Empire would have been replaced by Bunas's city guards!
The staff officer's first reaction was that he didn't believe it, but the battle report in his hand was still very detailed, so he couldn't help but not believe it. So he analyzed some things along the way, and then quickly continued to explain: "According to their report, the other party seemed to suddenly
The tactics were changed. A large number of snipers appeared on the front line and harassed our offensive troops."
"Sniper? Are you kidding me? How many regiments of troops were frightened by a few snipers?" Paul frowned even more. He felt that it was impossible for his nearly ten thousand forward troops to be frightened by a few snipers.
I was scared out of my wits.
But even so, he already had doubts: obviously things were not as simple as he thought, and something had happened on the front line after all.
This is not what he wants to see: he has always been worried that his command will be disrupted by the electromagnetic interference of the Tang army, so he has always set up his headquarters in Yucheng, a place with convenient communications, and has not moved it.
It would be fine if the frontline battle went smoothly, but if there were problems with the frontline battle, his decision to set the headquarters in Yucheng would appear to outsiders as cowardice, hesitation, and cowardice...
The staff officer continued to explain the seriousness of the problem to Paul: "Not just a few, but generals... there are hundreds of them. And the other party... is very well concealed, and their marksmanship is very accurate. They harass the troops and attack the camp...at night..."
"What? How could it be?" Hearing what his staff officer said, Paul stood up from his position. He was sure that the people blocking his troops were not the rebellious city guards of the Lions Empire.
.
Even if it is the most important force, there is absolutely no unit in Lions' army that can carry out such a strange mission. It is not that there are snipers in the Lions empire, but it is impossible to use them in this way.
This method of warfare reminded him of the special forces of the Tang Dynasty. Those super soldiers who often attacked at night and never saw the dragon's tail were the existence he longed for but could not get.
"General, the staff speculated that these are Tang Army paratroopers..." The staff officer gave a possibility.
Paul waved his hand to deny this speculation: "Impossible! According to intelligence, the Tang Empire has just used a large number of paratroopers in northern Sussus! Where did they get so many paratroopers!"
There is still intelligence cooperation between them and Susas. A few days ago, the paratroopers of the Tang Empire harassed the northern border of Susas, and the news that the northern border defense line collapsed is indeed reliable, so it is impossible for the paratroopers of the Tang Empire to appear on a large scale.
In the direction of Bunas.
Subconsciously, Paul did not want to believe the fact that the Tang Empire paratroopers suddenly appeared in Bunas: If this were true, there would be no need to fight this battle...Who the hell can defeat those damn paratroopers?
The staff immediately explained their speculation: "Maybe, only a few hundred snipers came?"
Paul nodded and agreed with this statement: "Well... This is possible. It is not difficult for the other party to transport hundreds of people to Bunas... Immediately ordered the troops to speed up! Don't worry about those snipers.
Advance to the outskirts of Bunas as soon as possible, then these snipers will not be able to hide!"
In his opinion, no matter what, it was impossible for the Tang army to appear in Bunas on a large scale, and he still had time to deploy troops and generals.
As long as he can capture Bunas before the main force of the Tang Army arrives, he might even become the first world-famous general to annihilate the Tang Army on a large scale: being able to kill hundreds of Tang Empire soldiers in one breath must be a brilliant achievement.
.
The staff officer immediately went to deliver the order. Although this was not his duty, he was the only one in the office now: "Yes!"
On the position outside Bunas, a battalion commander of the Tang Army put down the telescope in his hand and walked back to his bunker worriedly. There were maps hanging on the wall, a charging light, and various radio equipment.
A row later, several non-commissioned officers were debugging the channel.
"It's really unlucky. There's not that much artillery cover, there's no air support, and there's not even a fucking helicopter gunship." The battalion commander sat on his stool depressedly and complained to his comrades around him.
"Thankfully our division commander is very capable. We gathered all the precision shooters first and spread them out to delay the enemy. Otherwise, everyone would come over and we wouldn't be able to prepare anything here." His comrade said with a smile and took a sip of tea.
Tea bags in the army are very convenient, as long as there is hot water. The city guards of the Lions Empire are definitely not good at fighting, but they can do other tasks very well-for example, boil some boiling water and send it to the position.
Compared with other places, the city of Bunas has a very good foundation. There are many large machines here. Under the operation of the Tang Army, these machines contributed a lot of energy to the construction of the defense line.
"It is estimated that tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, the enemy's vanguard troops will press here. It is estimated that we will not feel too good by then." The battalion commander was more worried that his troops would suffer too many casualties, although at least half of them were soldiers.
Veterans who have been on the battlefield, but no one can say anything about war.
"Don't worry! We are still a little sure," said a friend around him. In order to support their operations, there are some Silver Fox Action Teams in Bunas City that originally belonged to the Tang Empire's intelligence department, and now they have been strengthened.
These people may not be able to fight head-on, but they can do many things: reconnaissance or sneaking behind the enemy to carry out sneak attacks and harassment, etc., which are still very useful.
"Woo... Wu..." Suddenly, some unfamiliar alarms sounded, and the soldiers of the Tang Army who were busy on the battlefield were a little uncomfortable for a while. They rarely heard such sounds, but now that they heard them, they didn't even notice for a long time.
React to what this means.
Finally, someone realized that this was an air defense alarm: so everyone began to look for bunkers, and then waited for the enemy's attack to arrive.
There are no missiles, and the attack will not come so quickly. After all, only the Tang Army has the luxury to use jet aircraft for ground support. The air power of the Lines Empire, especially the air-to-ground attack power, is composed of B-17 bombers.
These aircraft did not dare to lower their altitude too much. After all, it was rumored that the ground air defense power of the Tang Empire was still very terrifying.
Soon a dense group of bombers appeared in the sky. For the first time, the bombers covering the sky made the ground troops of the Tang Empire feel oppressed.
Countless bombs fell from the sky and landed far, far away from the Bunas defense line. This thing had no guidance, so there was no accuracy at all.
However... after the explosion in the distance, explosions closer to the position soon followed, and the terror of carpet bombing gradually spread to the Tang Army position that was being dug.
