Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 1737 1738 Moving Like Thunder

Maybe there is a place in this world where it snows every day, but it definitely doesn’t snow every day in the Ice Empire.

Especially in the southern part of the Ice Cold Empire, the actual situation here is similar to that in Hebei Province, with distinct spring, summer, autumn and winter seasons. Otherwise, this place would not have become the granary of the Ice Cold Empire, providing a large amount of food for the entire Ice Cold Empire.

In an area like this, continuous snowfall for several days is actually very abnormal climate. Such a thing has never happened in many years.

After 9 days of continuous overcast weather and 6 days of intermittent snow, the sky finally began to clear up. Xie Ke also knew that their good times were almost over.

Although the weather was still cold, there was no large white cloud overhead. The continuous cloudy days had ended, leaving everyone with only a cloudless blue sky.

Soon, Xie Ke discovered that the radio communication network he had set up began to be interfered with, and the Tang Empire's electronic jamming aircraft began to take action again.

In desperation, he could only give orders to shut down all radio stations and use the communication cavalry that had been arranged long ago to contact the surrounding troops: if he didn't do this, anti-radiation missiles would soon drop from the sky to teach him a lesson.

In fact, the war had been going on for several months, and everyone had already understood the technological advantages of the Tang Empire. The dwarves were also intentionally building their own command system on the way to the attack.

They asked the engineers to lay as many telephone lines as possible, so as to contact more grassroots troops in an environment of electromagnetic interference and maintain the basic dispatch and operation of the troops.

This kind of thing is actually very normal, but it is different for the Eastern Front: their advancement speed is so fast that Sheko's troops have no way to lay their own communication network at a normal speed.

The original solution was to use radio, which was also the most reasonable solution. However, facing the Tang army, radio could not be used at all...

Because the counterattack progressed too quickly, Xie Ke had no way to maintain basic communication and control over the troops, so he could only rely on traditional cavalry to issue every order.

Fortunately, his troops could not be compared with the armored forces during World War II, otherwise he would not be able to use cavalry to find his rapidly advancing subordinates.

"It finally stopped..." Xie Ke looked out the window at the clear sky outside, feeling indescribable emotions. His good luck was almost running out, and the Tang army's counterattack would soon begin.

"Immediately send someone to contact the northernmost troops and tell them to be careful of the possible appearance of the Tang Army armored forces..." At this point, he could only bite the bullet and continue to fight this battle.

Now he was most worried about two things: the first was the Tang army's counterattack from the front, and the second was the Tang army's southward advance from the north. If either of these two problems occurred, he might have to consider running away.

If the Eastern Front in the southern plains really hurt the Tang Army, then the other side would certainly consider transferring the armored forces in the north back... If these armored forces gave up the encirclement and suppression of the 11th and 12th Army Groups and turned their spearheads to the southern plains, it is estimated that the best situation for the Eastern Front would be to defend Dalkas to the death.

…In the headquarters of Tang’s 3rd Army, Strauss, who had finally waited for the clear sky, solemnly issued an order to counterattack: “Order the troops on both wings to advance as quickly as possible! I don’t care how you fight, but I want to put the Eastern Front into my pocket before the other side reacts!”

"Yes!" After hearing his order, the mechanized infantry commanders with better mobility who were placed on the two wings immediately raised their chins and responded.

Strauss then looked at the air force liaison officer standing nearby and said, "Notify the air force... Now that the sky has cleared, it's their turn to perform. Don't let His Majesty down. For the sake of the empire, nail the enemy firmly to the spot!"

The Air Force colonel in a blue uniform stood at attention and saluted, saying, "Don't worry, General... We guarantee that they won't even be able to raise their heads!"

Strauss looked at the remaining infantry commanders and put his hand on the map. "The entire army will charge to the west bank of the Port River and encircle and annihilate the dwarven Eastern Front that has crossed the river to the west of the Port River! We cannot let any of them escape... Blood debts must be paid with blood, and it is time for them to pay for the crimes they have committed."

"Yes!" All the officers stood at attention and answered loudly: "We will complete the mission!"

Countless Tang army soldiers wearing winter camouflage marched forward along the road. Beside them, wheeled armored vehicles and cars drove by one after another, filled with friendly troops holding weapons.

Behind them, self-propelled artillery and rocket launchers are also advancing rapidly. They will be deployed immediately after encountering the enemy to provide sufficient fire support for the troops on the front line.

Further back, in a cleared area, a number of tactical missile launchers were ready, with their sturdy missiles raising their pointed heads and pointing towards the blue sky.

At the field airport on the southern plains built by the dwarves, refueling trucks, maintenance trucks and power supply trucks were parked all over the open space next to the airport. On the runway of the airport, the propellers of armed helicopters had begun to rotate slowly.

The ground crew was waving to the pilots in the cockpit, and the Hinds, whose short wings were loaded with rockets and anti-tank missiles, were ready to take off.

Farther away, two Yinglong fighter jets had taken off from the cleared runway. Together with dozens of other fighter jets, they would protect the entire battlefield airspace and clear out all enemy aircraft that entered the area.

Ten thousand meters above the sky, two early warning aircraft were coordinating the takeoff of fighter jets and bombers. Inside the busy cabin, the screen in front of the commander was filled with densely packed light spots carrying the commander's own radar identification signals.

Those were the Ares bombers and Invader attack planes that took off from the rear... These planes loaded with bombs would be the first to greet the targets on the ground and completely paralyze them on the spot.

Although the number of armored troops deployed in this attack was small, Strauss did not underestimate this combat operation. He wanted to disintegrate the resistance of the Ice Empire once and for all, so he was unlikely to let the big fish of the Eastern Front escape.

In the higher communication frequency band, the Tang army's command commands came one after another. If the coalition's monitoring personnel could detect these channels, they would be able to confirm a terrible fact: the counterattack of the Tang Empire... had begun.
