"Commander, the railway line has been destroyed by the Rogue Eagles for hundreds of kilometers. The railway has been basically cut into several sections. The areas about 30 kilometers away from the sea have been bombarded by the Rogue Eagle fleet. At present, we have no way to deal with the mobile combat fleet of the Rogue Eagle."

The brigade commander heard the worst news since the war began. Although he had expected it, he still issued an order according to the plan. "Order the engineering troops to repair the bridge with all their strength. Our railway transportation must be kept as smooth as possible. Order the use of the backup transportation plan. We must ensure the supply of materials to the front line, especially anti-tank weapons and ammunition. We must do our best to ensure it!"

In response to the enemy's actions, after the initial clashes, Matthew played his cards one after another.

Although no advantage was gained in the air, the bombing on the front line still destroyed the defenses of several key positions. Facing the impact of the Rogue Eagle tank troops, these positions were shaky and the losses were very heavy.

At the critical moment, the front-line command ordered the tank battalion to launch a counterattack, which curbed the one-sided situation.

Due to the bombing at the front, the anti-tank guns deployed on the positions suffered serious losses. Now they rely entirely on individual RPG rocket launchers and an insufficient number of recoilless guns to fight tanks, which are simply unable to cope with the full-scale attack of more than a thousand Rogue Eagle tanks of various types.

The first line was quickly overwhelmed by tanks, and it was not until the tank battalion counterattacked that the crazy offensive of the Rogue Eagles was temporarily curbed.

However, this was only a temporary stalemate. Following the tank charge, the Rogue Eagles and coalition soldiers formed a torrent of charges.

This forced the Volunteer Army's artillery to begin bombarding the front line with all their might. However, although this stopped the coalition's front-line offensive, it also exposed the position of our army's artillery fire and we began to face the Rogue Eagle's artillery counterattack.

The two sides began an epic artillery showdown.

In this battle, the number of artillery fire of the Volunteer Army was far less than that of the Rogue Eagle, and they had to face the tight situation on the front line and support the front line at any time. If it were not for the rapid positioning capability of the artillery radar, it would basically be the result of unilateral suppression.

However, since the Rogue Eagle artillery learned a lesson from this experience, the locations of their shelling were not only dispersed but also moving rapidly. Only the ultra-long-range large howitzers tried to avoid the range of the Volunteer Army's largest number of 107mm artillery pieces when launching attacks.

This greatly increased the difficulty for the Volunteer Army's artillery. The frontline positions were originally a one-sided artillery confrontation, but now it became tense. Relying on the tactics of rapid maneuver and dispersed artillery bombardment, the efficiency of the Volunteer Army's artillery counter-bombardment was greatly reduced. As a result, the pressure on the frontline positions was unprecedentedly huge!

. . .

"Commander, since the beginning of the war, five regiments have suffered more than half of their casualties on the frontline. The positions of the 5th, 38th and 40nd Armies have been completely attacked, and the first line of defense has been lost. After the tank battalion launched a counterattack, it has temporarily stabilized on the second line. Facing the enemy's tank attack, which has an absolute advantage, our tank casualties have increased dramatically. Each of our tanks may face attacks from three or four enemy tanks at the same time. In many cases, although there is no problem with the armor, the tracks cannot withstand the attack of the Rogue Eagle tanks that rush to a close distance of three or four hundred meters and lose power."

Although the Zhisi had made prior assessments and anticipated the situation, and had not only built complex tunnel positions on the front line but also left many anti-tank gun positions, however, with the bombing of the Rogue Eagle Air Force bombers, most of these exposed anti-tank positions at the front line were destroyed by bombing bombs.

In addition, the soldiers guarding the trenches also suffered heavy casualties, and the anti-tank forces were now simply unable to cope with the Rogue Eagles that were charging one after another.

The Rogue Eagle's Big Red 1st Division is the elite of the Rogue Eagles who are used to fighting against the wind. Although they have a bad reputation in the main force of the Rogue Eagles and are commonly known as "sons of bitches", they have been beaten for a long time, and their ability and threshold to withstand casualties are very high. Even though many tanks were killed one after another by RPG rocket launchers, the tanks behind them ignored the casualties in front and continued to rush forward!
Wave after wave attacked the Volunteer Army's lines.

The Volunteer Army never imagined that the opponent would use armored forces so crazily and use more than a thousand tanks to launch an attack on such a narrow battlefield.

For the Volunteer Army, this completely exceeded the saturation value of their anti-tank capabilities. In addition, the Rogue Eagles attacked fiercely without regard for casualties. Even though there were hundreds of tank wreckages left on the battlefield, the tanks behind them continued to charge forward, and countless Rogue Eagle soldiers followed the tanks.

On the local battlefield, Rogue Eagle has adopted a saturated force this time and must achieve key breakthroughs!

"Reserves, reserves, all of them, come on!" This scene was happening at the frontline command center and every division headquarters. Almost all the reserves at the division level were deployed in less than three hours after the battle started.

The two reserve regiments left at the army level are now beginning final preparations before combat.

The difficulties on the front line plunged the Zhisi General Command into a solemn atmosphere.

"Should our two army reserves press forward?" Seeing this situation, the command staff lost their patience. If the Rogue Eagle were to achieve a key breakthrough now and could not withstand the pressure, the front line might collapse.

Fortunately, the reserve troops of two armies were sent to this battle in advance.

Otherwise, the pressure would now be entirely on Zhisi.

"It's not time to fight to the death. Order the front line to use fuel-air explosives to counterattack! We must completely crush the momentum of the Rogue Eagle on the battlefield. The replenishment of fuel-air explosives should be obtained in the country as soon as possible and transported to the front line by air." Chief Zhisi gritted his teeth and prepared to play the last trump card in his hand.

The killing of fuel-air explosives mainly relies on powerful shock waves, especially in confined spaces. The shock waves repeatedly overlap and impact buildings, which can effectively destroy fortifications, bunkers and other buildings. Secondly, fuel-air explosives will consume a large amount of surrounding oxygen during the explosion process, causing a large area of ​​hypoxic environment.

Fuel-air bombs are mainly based on heat and shock waves, and are not very effective in open field environments. The killing range is only a small burning area of ​​tens of meters. However, traditional fragmentation ammunition can produce fragments with a flying speed of up to 1500 meters per second and can fly for thousands of meters, so fragmentation ammunition is still the best choice for dealing with non-concealed personnel in open spaces. The killing effect of fuel-air bombs in the field is far inferior to that of artillery shells.

If it is not absolutely necessary, fuel-air explosive bombs will not be used against charging Rogue Eagles, because they are not better than mortar shells and the cost-effectiveness is too low. Therefore, when defending positions, the front line is not equipped with many fuel-air explosive bombs. The small amount of fuel-air explosive bombs are prepared for counterattacks after the tunnel positions are lost.

After all, the real purpose of fuel-air bombs is to attack the enemy's enclosed bunkers or tunnels.

The brigade commander opened his mouth but said nothing. Just use whatever is available on the front line. It's already this time. Using fuel-air bombs can at least be effective against tanks.

What the front line lacks most now is the means to counter the Rogue Eagle armored cluster attack. Against the Rogue Eagle's heavy tanks, the effect of armor-piercing shells is not as fast as that of fuel-air explosive bombs.

The order from Zhisi headquarters was quickly delivered to the front line, and a wave of counterattacks blocked the Rogue Eagle's steel frenzy at the second line of defense.
