Chapter 1804 1805 I Can't Leave the Reserve to You

In fact, the Tang army's attack speed was even faster than the elf troops judged. When the Tang army broke through the first line of defense, the Tang army's attack aircraft had already begun to clear the coalition's second line of defense.

The weather in April is not that cold, but the wind still feels cool on your face. This temperature is really suitable for fighting. You don't need to wear heavy winter clothes, and the corpses won't stink immediately.

The coalition artillerymen, who had just prepared for battle and aimed their artillery at the first-line defense positions, ready to cause some trouble for the Tang army that occupied there, immediately realized that their situation might have become very dangerous.

The anti-aircraft guns fired a series of tracer bullets into the sky, but these shells were still a long distance away from those terrible thunder attack aircraft.

The Tang army's planes did not rush to dive down, but began to use optoelectronic guided air-to-ground missiles to target the anti-aircraft artillery positions that had exposed their positions one by one.

With explosions one after another, the anti-aircraft artillery positions that had been noisy just now returned to silence one by one. The parts of the anti-aircraft artillery and the broken limbs of the gunners were scattered next to the smoking craters. The elves' artillery positions immediately lost their only defense.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Stop them!" The officer on the position pointed at the Thunder attack aircraft in the distance and shouted hysterically, but the panicked subordinates who passed by him had no way to deal with the Tang army attack aircraft that were circling over their heads like vultures.

In fact, these attacks were just appetizers. The elven officers who were familiar with the Tang Empire's attack methods knew that these lightning attack aircraft in front of them were just here to kick the door.

Once these attack aircraft destroy the anti-aircraft artillery on the ground, the more difficult Tang army armed helicopters will appear.

Those damn things are more difficult to deal with. They will hover over the battlefield, provide fire support at close range, and destroy and eliminate any living targets they find. They are more terrifying than the god of death.

In order to deal with such tactics, the air defense forces on the elves' side also have their own tragic method: they will hide some anti-aircraft guns and expose them to the enemy little by little, so as to delay the time for the Tang army to deploy armed helicopters and gain more opportunities for the ground forces.

It's a pity that such a tragic sacrifice can only delay some time. The exposed anti-aircraft artillery positions will be destroyed soon. After all, they are no different from targets. Facing the Tang army's missiles, they have no ability to fight back at all.

The elven soldier, who was out of breath due to the bullying of the planes in the sky, muttered angrily: "Damn it, where is our air force?"

"You're still thinking about this? They don't even dare to take off...that bunch of cowards can't do anything." Another elf soldier cursed loudly, scolding the friendly forces who had lost air superiority.

What these soldiers on the ground didn't know was that in order to fight for air supremacy, the Elf Air Force bravely launched 15 planes to join the battle, but these planes were shot down by the Tang Empire's Air Force as soon as they entered the war zone.

At this moment, several airports built by the elves near the war zone had been destroyed by missiles fired by the invading attack aircraft.

The runways of those airports are now full of bomb craters. Cluster bombs are really convenient for using against airports. It will take at least ten days to repair these airports.

Most of the hundreds of planes assembled on the front line were destroyed by cluster bombs. Those bombs would penetrate the roof of the hangar and leave countless bullet holes on the fuselage of the aircraft, making it impossible for these planes to take off again.

Just as the Raiden attack plane circled around and came back, a hidden anti-aircraft artillery position opened fire. Although they knew that it was impossible to shoot down the Raiden, they still bravely executed the order to fire.

A row of tracer bullets shot into the sky, and the paths they left behind effectively exposed the location of the anti-aircraft artillery position.

The Thunder attack aircraft responsible for providing cover adjusted its nose and fired several rockets at the anti-aircraft artillery position.

Four streams of white smoke rushed towards the anti-aircraft gun position that was still firing, and then four explosions engulfed the place. In an instant, the tracer bullets stopped rising, and the anti-aircraft gun that was roaring just now suddenly became silent.

As time passed, the atmosphere became more and more solemn. Everyone's nerves were stretched to the extreme, like a string that would break at any time.

The battlefield was burning and exploding everywhere, and the Tang army's ground forces were still nearly a kilometer away. The carefully arranged crossfire had turned into a ruin without any effect.

Those large and small artillery pieces were blown into a pile of scrap metal before they could cause any trouble for the Tang Empire's troops.

"Two more are coming!" At this moment, the elf lookout who had been holding the telescope suddenly shouted loudly, his tone full of fear and despair.

Everyone followed his gaze and saw two black spots in the distant sky swooping towards their position at an alarming speed. The deafening roar of the engines came from far away, like a roar from hell, making people shudder.

  "What? Four? Those damned Tang people!" An elf veteran with rich combat experience turned pale and cried out in shock. How could he deserve four thunderbolts to be dispatched?

Thunderbolt attack aircraft are well-known on Earth for their powerful firepower and solid armor, and are the nightmare of ground forces. The appearance of these two new Thunderbolt attack aircraft undoubtedly casts a thick shadow on the already precarious elf defense line.

The original two were already very difficult to deal with, and now there are two more. For the elf troops on the ground, this is nothing short of a nightmare.

"Don't just stand there! Shoot hard!" An elf commander shouted to his men at the anti-aircraft gun position, pulling down the camouflage net above his head. He was in charge of commanding a single-barreled 40mm anti-aircraft gun, which aimed at one of the Thunder attack aircraft at the fastest speed.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The anti-aircraft gun suddenly opened fire, and the dense rain of bullets intertwined into a net of death, trying to shoot down the Thunder attack aircraft it was aiming at. The anti-aircraft gun emptied its magazine at almost the fastest speed, and then the loaders rushed over, removed the empty magazine, and loaded a new one.

But before the anti-aircraft gun could fire again, a rocket hit the target accurately. The storm of shrapnel instantly penetrated everyone's body, and a blood mist rose from the entire battlefield. The loaders who were busy just now fell to the ground, and several gunners who were operating the guns also hung on the guns and were no longer moving.

Air weapons opened fire at the same time, and the dense rain of bullets intertwined into a web of death, trying to intercept the two A-10 attack aircraft outside the base.

However, the pilots of the two A-10s were obviously experienced ace pilots. Relying on their superb flying skills and familiarity with the terrain, they cleverly avoided the artillery fire from the ground, constantly changing their flying postures, looking for the best attack angle.

"Da da da da da!" The 10mm Gatling cannon under the nose of the A-30 opened fire first, spewing out angry flames. The shells poured down like raindrops, accurately hitting the fortifications outside the base.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The violent explosions of rockets sounded one after another, the fortifications were blown to pieces, flames shot up into the sky, thick smoke billowed, screams came one after another, and the originally solid defense line was instantly torn into shocking holes.

"Damn it! Their firepower is too strong! Our fortifications are totally vulnerable!" Looking at their crumbling defense line, an elf officer in the command center lamented. His voice was full of fear and powerlessness, and a breath of despair was spreading silently.

"The Tang army destroyed my artillery positions..."

"Don't panic! Reinforcements are on the way! Hasn't the Tang army attacked your position yet? Why panic? Be careful or I'll shoot you!" In the headquarters of the second line of defense, the elf's division commander roared loudly, and then hung up the phone angrily. Compared with the deafening sound of artillery and explosions in the distance, his voice seemed so insignificant.

The four lightning attack aircraft were like four birds of prey from hell, wantonly harvesting the lives of soldiers on the ground. The fortifications on the elf defense line were destroyed one after another, and the carefully built small circular fortress nearby was blown to pieces before the enemies on the ground could reach it, and fell into a sea of ​​fire and chaos.

"Hello? Hello! Division headquarters? Division headquarters! Please answer if you hear me! We...our artillery positions have suffered heavy losses! Heavy losses! Request...Request support! Request..." Not far away, the staff officer was holding another phone, and the signalman's voice came intermittently from the receiver that was never hung up, mixed with violent explosions and desperate shouts.

However, before he could finish his words, the communication suddenly stopped, leaving only a creepy busy tone. The staff officer at the division headquarters hung up the phone helplessly and shook his head at the division commander who looked livid.

Everyone knew that the artillery positions that were being taken care of were finished, and they would face a fierce attack from the Tang army's ground forces next...

Behind them, the coalition's early warning radar screen was covered with snowflakes, and the Tang Empire's electronic jamming aircraft began to move again. Both radars were new, using technology imported from Dorne and mass-produced in the Elf Empire.

However, when facing the electromagnetic interference of the Tang army, they still seemed so powerless: like the radars in the past, they could not detect anything and were just expensive decorations.

The elf troops showed bravery in the battle. Despite the pressure of being destroyed by anti-radiation missiles, they still kept several radars turned on, but they still could not provide any effective intelligence.

The radio channels were full of interference. Phone calls could be made, but because there was too much information to be communicated, many lines were simply not connected.

Felix had no idea what was happening on the front line. Although he knew the battle had begun, he knew no details.

During this more than an hour, he anxiously waited for news in his headquarters, but what he got was bad news one after another. On the one hand, all 15 planes that the coalition forces risked taking off were shot down, 12 pilots were killed, and 3 parachuted successfully.

On the other hand, the Tang army had already broken through one line of defense, and the second line of defense was in danger. Compared with the attack speed of the Tang army, the reinforcements were basically standing still.

The third problem was that Tang’s planes attacked a large number of supply stations and command nodes, paralyzing these important facilities and causing the coalition forces’ combat effectiveness to drop to a lower level. The front-line troops, without supplies, could not hold their positions at all.

The Tang army dispatched at least 150 aircraft of various models and launched a fierce attack on the coalition forces' deep areas. Now the coalition forces' western defense line is passive everywhere, and there are signs of a complete collapse.

Under such circumstances, if Felix did not do something, then everything would be over. However, under such intense interference, it was obviously not so easy to reinforce the front line.

Felix suddenly changed the direction of his pace and walked to the front of the map. He stared at the breached area in silence for a few seconds, then turned around and instructed the adjutant waiting at the door: "Make another call and ask the reinforcements to rush to the third line of defense at all costs!"

"Yes! Marshal!" The adjutant quickly stood at attention and saluted, then turned and walked out of Felix's office. Felix waited until the door closed before walking back to his desk and picking up the phone on the desk: "Hello? This is Felix, I'm answering Joslina!"

"Your Majesty? I'm Felix... My previous judgment was correct. The main attack direction of the Tang army is indeed the northwest, so I ask you... what? What did you say?" Felix frowned halfway through his words. Obviously, what the person on the other end of the phone said caught him off guard.

"I say! The Tang army has also launched a large-scale attack in the north! Marshal Felix! Now the northern defense line is also collapsing, and I can't give the reserve troops to you to command!" Yang Mu I's tone was full of worry, and Felix could hear it even from such a distance.

"But, but Your Majesty..." Felix still couldn't believe that the Tang army was launching large-scale attacks in two different directions at the same time.

"There is no but... The Tang army is attacking on all fronts! Not just in the northeast direction, but on all fronts! On all fronts!" Yangmu I interrupted Felix again, and his speech speed increased a lot.

"You must hold your ground! At all costs!" Before hanging up the phone, Yangmu I gave Felix the most severe order: "If the border defense line is lost, the Yangmu Empire will be finished!"

"I will hold my ground until the last moment, Your Majesty. I promise you." Felix glanced at the belt hanging on the hanger at the door, looked at the small automatic pistol on it, and assured the person on the other end of the phone.
