Chapter 1163 1164 Windfall in the West

It was very difficult for the orcs to attack the goblin's central defense line. Although the opponent's supplies were limited, they were backed by a large area of ​​land and had an advantage in military strength, so they could barely support them in a short period of time.

The 4 well-equipped orc troops are constantly attacking the [-] goblin troops, which can almost reflect the real battle situation from the side.

The orcs who wanted to fill the hole with their lives were actually suppressing the goblins with firepower in the end. On the other hand, the goblins were using real human lives to fill the big hole in the central defense line.

In the direction of Dingcheng, a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood have been beaten, and the corpses of soldiers from both sides can be seen on every position.Some trees have been bald by shells and aerial bombs, leaving only a single trunk standing on the battlefield.

In fact, the goblins have four large-scale fortifications on the island, namely the western defense line, the central defense line, the mirage defense line, and the northern defense line.

Speaking of the most attentive, it is naturally the central defense line, followed by the western defense line and mirage defense line, and the worst is the northern defense line, which has almost no risk of being landed.

The northern line of defense is mainly based on the hidden airport and some warehouse facilities, and some factories have been secretly transferred here. It is because of these small workshops that Mirage has been able to maintain the production of some important weapons and equipment until now. .

In order to maintain the operation of these factories, Mirage built a power plant in the north, but now the power plant has been exposed. It has been bombed several times by bombers, and it is almost impossible to operate: there is no way, after all, the chimney of the power plant is not camouflaged. Up, it's just too obvious.

After losing this power plant, facilities such as the factories hidden in the caves in the northern region of Mirage can only rely on their own generators to generate electricity, but the generators consume fuel, and most of Mirage's fuel is consumed by these Power generation equipment swallowed.

The good news is that the officers of the navy have been sent to the army to fight, and the navy has no warships that consume more fuel.The bad news is that the rest of the fuel is going to be used by the Army, and there isn't much left.

It's not that Mirage didn't think of a way. They once secretly sent sporadic transport ships without flying the national flag, or secretly flying the flag of the Poplar Empire, and smuggled some fuel from the port of the Ice Cold Empire.

This is indeed a good way, and it can not only transport fuel, but also raw materials such as steel, brass, etc. that are abundant in the Frost Empire.

Because they were dissatisfied with the Tang Empire secretly supporting the Yangmu Empire, the dwarves also turned a blind eye to this and provided some supplies to the goblins.

But recently, this kind of smuggling and smuggling has become impossible: the submarine base built by the Datang Empire on the South Island has been put into operation, because the expansion of the port has basically been completed, and more destroyers have been deployed on the South Island.

The Tang Empire seized the South Island originally to use it as a military base in the northern waters, so deploying a fleet here is a matter of course.

Destroyers equipped with radars and submarine forces whose range of activities and time have been greatly increased due to their close proximity to the war zone have completely cut off the sea transportation of goblins.

This time it was completely cut off: including food, fuel, minerals and other supplies, the goblins could hardly obtain them from the Eastern Continent.

What's more, because of the blockade of the Tang Empire Navy, the route from the North Island to the main island was also cut off.If you want to travel back and forth between the two islands, you can only risk taking a plane.

The Navy's suicide speedboats faced increasing losses from Otto's automatic naval guns, and the remaining speedboats were rarely dispatched due to lack of fuel.

Some warships of the Tang Dynasty Navy began to bombard Mirage's docks and ports. The settings were destroyed and raw materials were in short supply, which reduced the speed of Mirage's replenishment of suicide speedboats to an infinitely close to zero state.

Frankly speaking, since the first day of the naval battle on the island, after losing almost all of the suicide speedboats, Mirage has no hope for his navy.

Because the army's front line is tight and there is a lack of commanders, a large number of remaining officers in the navy have been transferred and sent to the front line to support the army's operations.

After all, these officers still have their military ranks, and they are literate, so they are considered half-educated people, so they are more reliable than those recruited farmers and fishermen.

Let these people act as commanders, at least dozens of people can be restrained... Now these mirage officers in navy uniforms have appeared in large numbers on the front line of the central defense line.

Although Mirage still maintains the naval headquarters, and there are still many ships under command in name, Mirageping and his commander actually don't have much work.

Those so-called ships are almost all transport ships, as well as some tankers, cruise ships, and some small boats.

As for the remaining old warships that were too late to participate in the war, they have been dismantled and used to produce other weapons and equipment.

Half a month ago, when the orcs hadn't landed on the island, the navy could still worry about the so-called smuggling operations. Now, as the Tang Empire's blockade is getting stricter, no ships can safely return to the port. .

In fact... Few ports that can unload cargo are still in operation in Mirage: the bombers that took off from Xindao and Nandao did not miss any port, and now the port throughput of Mirage has almost been bombed to close to zero status.

If the strategic bombers of the Tang Empire hadn't been busy bombing power stations, ports, and airports... the air defense pressure on Mirage's central defense line would not have been so low.

On the first day of October, the heavily armed 10th Orc Division was sent to the island, and along with it came the supplementary soldiers belonging to the 9st and 1nd Divisions and the 2st Armored Division.

这个时候兽人部队在本岛的总兵力已经接近25万人了，西面是第4师和第5师，北部是第1和第6师，东部是第3和第8师以及第1装甲师。

As the orc troops gradually landed, the 7th Infantry Division, the 9th Infantry Division, the 10th and 11th Infantry Division, and the supplementary troops of the 2nd Infantry Division were all in place, and the number of troops in Shanlu's hands increased significantly. .

Compared with the goblins, these troops are not coming with bare hands!They carry weapons and equipment, with ammunition and logistical supplies.

Even, the supplementary soldiers of the 1st Armored Division arrived with tanks and armored vehicles!They even dropped an armored vehicle into the sea when they were unloading on the floating pier because the pier was not strong.

Because no decent port was captured, the supply of orc troops has always been carried out by floating docks.This kind of temporary dock is easy to damage, so Tang Guo's engineers had to build some new floating docks nearby.

The whole project progressed very smoothly, because the engineering team of the orcs on the shore is also very experienced.

Now, the orcs have 11 infantry divisions and 1 armored division, as well as a large number of engineers and logistics support troops, which can be described as strong and strong.

山鲁把这些部队分成了三个部分，在三个方向上同时扩大战果：第4和第5师得到了第7步兵师的加强，向地精的西部防线发起进攻；第1和第6师汇合了新兵较多的第2师向北进攻；第3，第8，第9和第10步兵师与第1装甲师向地精的中部防线发起猛攻。

The 11th Division and follow-on units served as reserves, ready to engage in combat in either direction.

In terms of progress, although about half of the troops attacking north were recruits, their progress was the fastest.

Because there is not much terrain for mirage troops to rely on in this direction, and their strength is also very weak.Therefore, they advanced nearly [-] kilometers in [-] days, and almost cut off the slender main island.

The Orcs attacked eastward the most, with 5 divisions in total, including the most capable armored division...but their progress was the slowest.Goblins have a large number of fortifications in the direction they attack and have the most troops.

What no one could have imagined was that the West, which had been neglected all the time, became a breakthrough opened by the orcs.The Goblin 4th Armored Division, which had suffered heavy losses due to the counterattack, finally couldn't stand the pressure and collapsed.

The goblin infantry divisions fighting with the 4th Armored Division as a support also began to retreat. They ran out of ammunition and food, abandoned the fairly strong western defense line, and began to retreat to the northwest.

The commanders of the mirage army were worried that their flanks would be attacked by orcs, so they wanted to go around to the north. While the orc troops in the north did not completely cut off the island, they found a gap to sneak to the east to join the main force of the mirage army.

However, they underestimated the advancing speed of the orcs' northern troops. On the way to retreat, they ran into the orcs' 1st infantry division and were caught off guard.

Attacking westward, the 4th Orc Infantry Division, which captured the western defense line abandoned by the goblins, successfully took over the abandoned western airport, and finally completed part of the campaign goals.

The good news came one after another. Because of the defeat in the west, a small port on the west side of the island was also occupied by the Orc 5th Infantry Division.Although the port has been completely destroyed, the orc laborers were born in repairs...

Before the engineering troops could catch up, the soldiers of the 5th Infantry Division dispatched two battalions and began to repair the pier. The efficiency was very high, and they were much more professional in fighting.

Three days later, the last formed goblin army operating in the west of the island was surrounded and wiped out by the 1st Division, and the orc troops completely occupied the west of the island.

The situation has been reversed, and the orcs have no worries, and they have liberated four or five divisions, which can be transferred to the east to participate in the war.

After learning that the troops to the west had been wiped out, Mirage ordered Shan Haiping, the admiral, to rush to the central defense line to command the battle...not to take a step back!Mirage Wuke also dispatched troops and sent the [-] newly recruited recruits to the central defense line.
