Chapter 1841 1842 Yucheng Station

The Tang army's planes would certainly not give up, and the bombing was only a matter of time. However, at this moment, dark clouds covered the sky and rain poured down, so the Tang army's planes could not continue to fight.

Leaden clouds hung low, as if to crush the war-torn city. Rain poured down, hitting the roofs, streets and soldiers' helmets, making crackling sounds.

Unfortunately, this sudden heavy rain not only prevented the Tang army's air raid, but also hindered the construction of the coalition forces' defensive fortifications.

The construction site, which was once bustling with activity, was now a muddy mess. The soldiers could only hide in simple tents, anxiously waiting for the rain to stop. The rain gathered into streams, washing away the anxiety and restlessness in the soldiers' hearts.

The half-built trenches had become puddles, and the bunkers without drainage systems were filled with laborers seeking shelter from the rain. Thunder rumbled in the sky, making everyone terrified because they had already been frightened by the roar of the Tang army's planes.

At this moment of wind and rain, more than 50,000 soldiers from the Dorne Empire arrived at Yucheng Railway Station in a series of sealed boxcars.

Most of these soldiers came from remote villages, and they had never thought that the shadow of war would reach their doorsteps. They didn't even know what kind of fierce enemy they would face.

The steam locomotive emitted white smoke in the station, but the smoke was quickly extinguished by the pouring rain.

In the heavy rain, the soldiers opened the doors and got off the train, carrying heavy weapons and bags, standing blankly on the platform, letting the rain wet their uniforms.

They looked up and saw the entire train station in chaos, with soldiers, vehicles and supplies everywhere. The air was filled with the smell of rain, mud and the stench of something unknown, mixed with a hint of tension, reminding them that war was just around the corner.

Because the Tang army's attack speed was too fast, they had no time to build enough airports, and the air force on the front line was seriously insufficient. Therefore, the Tang army was temporarily unable to bomb the railway line between Yucheng and Lions, and the coalition forces were mobilized smoothly.

There was no other way. The elves and the Susas Empire surrendered quickly, catching the coalition forces off guard. The Tang army that went south and captured Bunas was like a sharp knife, piercing the heart of the Lions Empire.

The coalition forces' logistics and defense facilities could not keep up with the speed of the Tang army's advance, which put the coalition forces in a passive position on the battlefield.

The train station was crowded with people. Dorne soldiers carrying rifles were shouted at by their superiors and walked outside the station in the rain. They had to make room as soon as possible so that the follow-up troops could get off the train smoothly.

"Hurry up! Hurry! Don't dawdle! Speed ​​up!" The Dorne officers wearing raincoats were in a better situation. They stood in the distance and yelled at the dawdling soldiers, urging them to hurry up.

Some bearded Dornish soldiers quickened their pace somewhat. Their average age was over 40 and they had all retired long ago.

Now that the Dornish Empire has called them back and sent them to the battlefield, it has actually proved many problems: the Dornish troops are becoming short of human resources, and the speed of replenishment can no longer keep up with the speed of consumption. The shouts sounded particularly harsh in the rain, and the raindrops hit the steel helmets, making a tinkling sound, as if playing a chaotic war symphony.

The artillerymen in the distance had an even harder time. They had to brave the rain to unload the artillery pieces wrapped in gun covers from the flatbed trains, then use all their strength to push these heavy guys out of the train station, and then find a way to hang them on the transport trucks.

Some of these cars were brought by Dorn's previous troops and were now being transferred here to help, while others were civilian cars requisitioned by Lions.

Due to time constraints, there was no time to prepare enough barracks, so these support troops who came from afar could only temporarily settle down in the camp built in the wilderness outside the city. Due to time constraints, these troops could only live in tents.

"The tanks haven't arrived yet?" An officer named Ryans, who was in charge of liaison, stood beside a Dorne general and asked worriedly, looking at the crowded crowd on the train platform outside the window.

"We don't have many tanks left. The factory produces one hundred tanks a month, and the workers have exhausted their energy working overtime...but the front line loses five hundred tanks a month." Dorn's generals were also worried. His troops were mostly light infantry, which was not a good sign.

"Based on the actual situation on the battlefield, we have increased the production of anti-tank rocket launchers and grenades... This is the best choice we can make." After he finished speaking, he rubbed his sore nose.

In order to deal with the iron torrent of the Tang army, Dorne urgently produced 10 anti-tank rockets to enhance the anti-armor capabilities of the infantry.

Compared to when the coalition forces first joined the war, the number of anti-tank rocket launchers equipped by the coalition forces near Yucheng has indeed increased significantly. Not only that, the density and quality of anti-aircraft guns near Yucheng have also been greatly improved.

In comparison, due to the heavy losses and the difficulty in producing them, the number of tanks and armored vehicles equipped by the coalition forces has been significantly reduced.

At the same time, the number of air forces of the Lions Empire and the Dorne Empire has also declined significantly: before the war, the total number of aircraft owned by the two countries exceeded 1, but now this number has dropped to around 5000.

There are two reasons for this situation. One is because of the losses on the front line. Lions and Dorne did invest a lot of air forces in the Ice Empire, Poplar Empire and Susas Empire, and now these forces have been lost.

Another reason is that both countries are upgrading their air force equipment: the large number of old aircraft equipped in the past, including B-17 bombers, Hampton bombers and the like, are no longer produced in both countries. They are rushing to produce Mirage 1 fighters and Sabre fighters.

These new aircraft are equipped with warning devices and ejection seats, which can protect the scarce pilots and allow them to survive as long as possible in the brutal air battle. For the coalition forces, keeping these pilots alive is a victory in itself.

In addition, both countries began to equip these fighters with the first generation of air-to-air missiles, hoping that these new copied weapons could help them reverse their disadvantage in the air.
