I became a witch, but I started the industrial revolution

The Allied tanks have considerable armor tonnage, but they do not have much defense against these armor-piercing weapons. Their point-to-point attack method naturally restrains things like shields.

Usually, one shaped-charge armor-piercing shell can destroy the shield, and the second one can easily take it away.

The magician is not much better. He expects his flesh to eat attacks that his body cannot withstand. This is really not treating the magician as a human being. A jet of shaped-charge armor-piercing projectile can blast a human body inside the shield into an unknown object on the ground.

Of course, the Red Army suffered heavy casualties in order to achieve such an attack effect.

They have offensive capabilities similar to those of the Allies, but their defense is much worse. They have no steel bodies, no tanks, no armor, and the only things they can rely on are the ruins.

If they make the slightest movement, they will be torn to pieces by the explosive magic and artillery fired by the Allied Forces in anger. They also have to be careful of the Allied air knights and fighter planes that fly through the sky from time to time. If they are discovered, they will be wiped out.

However, this disadvantage in the sky was offset as the Allied forces continued to advance deeper, because the two sides were completely stalemate and the Air Force was also worried about causing accidental casualties.

In the city government building, the first floor was occupied by Allied soldiers, and the second floor was occupied by Red Army soldiers. Often, just as the Allied forces had cleared an area on the first floor, Red Army soldiers would appear from somewhere and shout "Ura" and throw two Molotov cocktails, turning the hall into a sea of ​​fire.

The Red Army on the third floor uses anti-tank weapons to attack enemy tanks and aircraft, and also has to face the wrath from the gun barrels.

At the train station, the Red Army relied on the heavy firepower of the armored train donated by the Alliance and put up a desperate resistance against the Allied forces.

A group of Allied mecha soldiers rushed into the waiting hall with teams of ordinary soldiers amid the roar of their commander. They were attacked by more than a dozen shaped-charge armor-piercing shells, mixed with grenades and other items.

Many mecha soldiers stepped on anti-tank booby traps on their way to charge and were blown away on the spot. The fragments of the mecha and ground bricks caused secondary casualties to the Allied forces around them.

However, with the arrival of heavy tanks and long-range magician machines, the waiting hall was soon covered by artillery fire and magic, and many Red Army soldiers were killed on the spot.

Fortunately, Ernesto's Red Army, which had suffered losses, did not crowd together densely, so the losses from artillery fire were acceptable.

After the tanks entered the firing range, the armored train at the rear also quickly fired in the direction of the tanks to suppress the attack.

The guns on the tank barrels could not penetrate the thick and solid armor and magic shield device of the locomotive.

The 75mm field gun and four 20mm machine guns on top of the train fired crazily, turning the station into a mess. The two sides fought back and forth for more than a dozen times for the collapsed waiting hall of the train station alone.

As early as the beginning of construction, Ernesto accepted the advice of the alliance, learned from past experience, and paid special attention to the construction of the railway station, which was built according to the level of military facilities.

The station covers a large area and is responsible for transportation. It also has a storage function and is particularly suitable for storing military supplies during wartime.

Therefore, both Ernesto and the Allies were determined to capture this place, and it was also one of the few locations where Ernesto's Red Army had deployed heavy troops to guard it.

This was just a microcosm of the street fighting in Como. The Allied troops marching among the ruins became like frightened birds and were extremely cautious.

They even encountered a bloody scene where a child of a few years old crawled out of a dog hole holding a bomb with a lit fuse, rushed into their team, and died together with a dozen people.

The entire city has completely turned into a large Shura field. There is no distinction between men, women, young and old, only between friends and enemies.

This brought great psychological shock to the Allied soldiers, and even led to large-scale desertions, which greatly annoyed the battle commanders in the rear.

Five hundred thousand troops would naturally not rush into a city at once. He, his chief of staff and the Tsar formulated a detailed advancement plan.

In addition to the 200,000 troops of the four armies in Como City on the front, there were 150,000 troops on each wing who attacked and occupied other areas simultaneously.

The left wing opened up a route to contact other White Army troops in Ernesto's territory, while the 150,000-strong right wing reached Rotila State and cut off its connection with the Hinwapa Defense Line, attempting to completely encircle and blockade it.

However, in both aspects, Ernesto's army's defensive determination was no less than that of the defenders in Como, which delayed the Allied commander's plan to encircle Xinwapa from being realized.

Chapter 242 Ernesto is big, but we have no way to retreat.

The situation of Volga, the sister city behind Como, was not much better. They were responsible for providing Como with a steady supply of fresh troops and various supplies, and also assembled Ernesto's few heavy artillery.

The wide river bank where supplies were gathered naturally became the focus of the Allied Air Force. Often, hundreds of people in a battalion would board a boat, but by the time they reached the other side, only about 6% to 7% of them were left, and the river water was dyed red with blood.

As more anti-aircraft tandem machine guns were manufactured and put into use, the Allied air force began to gradually lose its advantage, and the number of Allied heavy weapons deployed on the battlefield began to decline after its peak.

The heavy armored army, which was the main force, was replaced and withdrawn to rest, while the reserve army continued to rush into the city of Como and fight to the death with Ernesto's Red Army, which gradually evolved into a fierce battle between the infantry of both sides.

The Allied commander frowned as he looked at the icons of the divisions under each army group on the battle map. The war had reached this point and it was completely a tactic of adding fuel to the fire.

But it would be wrong to say that this is not possible, because the Allied forces can still advance a certain distance every day. If they continue in this way, the established goal of completely capturing the city of Como and then occupying the entire state can be achieved.

He did not take the Volga City behind Como seriously. The Allied forces had suffered at least tens of thousands of casualties in the fighting over the past few days, and the other side definitely suffered more serious losses than them.

After they captured the city of Como, there was no counterattack force left in the city of Volga in the rear.

What he was most worried about now was the supply of ammunition and fuel. The damn Ernestos were digging holes all over the land like rats in a gutter.

From time to time, they would come out to attack and destroy their supply convoys, blow up ships and block canals, and use a series of disgusting and despicable means.

Such actions required him to carefully allocate the remaining fuel and ammunition, and to begin to draw fresh troops from both wings to the city of Como for the most decisive blow.

He completely forgot that this land originally belonged to someone else.

"Ta Ta..."

The heavy footsteps caused the ground to tremble slightly, and a small head slowly rose from the foot of the collapsed house, revealing a pair of beautiful sky-blue pupils.

Not sure if it was because of the cold or nervousness, her body was shaking slightly. Seeing the machine approaching, the female soldier subconsciously clenched the thunder gun in her hand.

When the opponent walked past her and exposed his back, she climbed up and stabbed the thigh of the machine with a gun. The pressure-activated fuse was triggered, and the female soldier only felt a great force coming from the spear in her hand, and the man was thrown back into the ruins.

The armor-piercing warhead had already completed its mission and destroyed the shield of the machine. The soldiers on the machine who reacted turned around and slashed at the ruins with their swords without thinking. The magic light blade flashed and set off a burst of explosion dust, and a trace of blood mist filled the air.

Losing the shield is fatal to the machine. In order to reduce its own weight, the material of the machine itself does not have very good defense. The noise here was quickly noticed by others. On the way of escape, the machine soldier was hit by a stinging mine and was roasted alive inside.

If this is the case for mecha soldiers, life for ordinary soldiers is even more difficult.

The ubiquitous grenades and Molotov cocktails made many squads and teams miserable, and the situation was even worse when there were too many people, because Ernesto's Red Army began to be equipped with a large number of light grenade launchers. A few more people would attract waves of bombing, and the rubble all over the ground was the most deadly killer.

Watching the war spreading in the distance and getting closer to them day by day, the Red Army soldiers stationed in the granary inevitably began to feel anxious.

You know, the granary is the lifeline of an army and it is the most strongly protected. But as time goes by, the comrades around them are constantly being transferred to support the front-line defense positions, but the enemy is getting closer and closer to them.

All of them were born as serfs, and no one understood the importance of food better than them. If the enemy could get close to the warehouse, one could imagine the fate of their comrades.

Platoon leader Lyle could feel the changes in the emotions of the soldiers around him. He saw it but said nothing. Instead, he directed everyone to continuously strengthen the defenses of the granary.

Work more and talk less. When you work, you will feel tired and know that you are still alive.

"Platoon leader, my mother asked me to join the army to drive away the enemy. The general and marshal said that we should protect our GM achievements, but I have never been to school and I don't know what GM achievements are."

As everyone sat together for dinner, a female voice sounded in the crowd, attracting Lyle's attention.

Lyle put down the bread and looked at the other person. The girl had dry short hair that didn't reach her neck, and her eyes were scary big on her cheeks. Her eyes were full of confusion, and her immaturity could be seen in her shriveled body.

Among the dozens of people in this platoon, half of them were young and middle-aged people, and the other half were Ernesto people who later participated in the defense war, including men, women, young and old.

They usually only had time to receive a certain degree of simple military training before being sent to the battlefield. They only heard slogans of defending the country without any further explanation. The girl's doubts were not uncommon. Lyle sighed and laughed:

"You can also understand the fruits of GM's victory as benefits that all of us can enjoy."

When the people around saw Lyle's answer, they also asked with interest:

"What's the benefit, Platoon Leader?"

"I know this. My family has land! Land is enough to survive."

'I'm actually more curious about the life of the platoon leader's hometown alliance.'

Lyle's eyes were deep, and his voice was filled with memories: "There are many benefits... From now on, your cows will not be taken away by others, and you will have your own fields to plant."

"There is no leader, no master." "Roads and railways extend in all directions."

"In the future, all future generations, regardless of gender, will be able to go to school and read books."

An older man laughed when he heard this and said, "If that's the case, then I'd rather die once so that my sons and grandsons can live comfortably."

"I would like to."

"Even if I die, I will chase them away even after I die!"

"If other sisters can really read in the future, then I can too! But... I hope that the mother who guards the dock can survive."

"Clap!"

The close sound of gunfire startled the people who were eating, and they hurriedly returned to their battle posts with bread in their mouths. Lyle looked through the telescope and saw a large number of Allied soldiers emerging not far away, and his heart sank.

Needless to say, he also knew that the front-line position of the granary had been completely lost.

"The enemy is coming! Quick, quick, machine gunners, get ready! Loaders, remember the location of the ammunition boxes, and assistant machine gunners, supply the ammunition belts!"

"Don't expose any part of your body easily, don't shoot at will and expose your position, remember the shooting instructions given by the instructors and shoot accurately."

"D Company and E Company defend the first floor. A Company will watch the roof. We will knock down any heavy armored units we find immediately."

“Remember, comrades, Ernesto is big, but we have no way back.”

Chapter 243 A biting dog never barks

"Ernesto's Red Army emergency mobilization order has come into effect. It is estimated that the number of soldiers called up in the first phase will be 100 million. The total number of active troops is about 120 million, and it is expanding at a very fast speed. The demand for military material assistance has increased significantly."

"We have currently deployed 50 troops in the Demetria battlefield, and there will be about 50 reinforcements later. As for the Surya battlefield, we plan to support 20 troops to assist in the defense of the Surya defense line."

"And the corps that landed on Puelente to open up the third main offensive front has not yet finalized its plan. Currently, the utilization rate of our military industrial capacity is around 36%. No matter how much more we use, we cannot effectively complete the delivery with the existing transportation capacity."

Anna read the extracted file information to Medea one by one. Medea, who was concentrating on the report, looked up and asked in confusion: "Puerente Kingdom? Hasn't the Port of Moseradeal been conquered? Why hasn't it been finalized yet?"

Anna replied: "The port of Moseradeal was lost last night, and the detailed battle report is still on the way to be compiled and sent back."

"lost?!"

Medea put down the report and looked at the large map hanging on the wall, lost in thought.

The flagship fleet consisting of two battleships could not possibly defeat the coalition's branch fleet, and the smooth naval battle reports in the early stages also proved that her idea was correct.

But the fact that Moselladale could still be lost after it was captured is very telling. You have to know that the battleship itself has twelve 305mm main guns, and two ships have twenty-four large-caliber heavy guns and 40 127mm guns. Adding the artillery of the cruiser, the fleet docked at the dock is an unsinkable artillery fortress.

Under such a high density of firepower, they were able to forcibly capture the dock and drive away the fleet. This must mean that external forces have begun to intervene in the war.

However, she currently does not have detailed information and cannot be sure who they are and how many there are.

However, Medea had a bad feeling deep in her heart, just like what she had said before, once the war started, no one would be able to control the development of the situation, including her.

Medea overlooked one point. To be honest, the Allied Powers themselves did not invest too much military force in the battlefield. The combined strength of the two-front coalition forces was just over one million, which was just a drop in the bucket for the six countries.

Moreover, as the battle line extended, more and more servants and puppet troops were organized. Judging from the war potential, they were not sure whether they could win, but they firmly believed that they would never lose!

Moreover, through the previous wars, they also felt the strong threat posed by the Alliance that could not be ignored.

five days ago

"Your Excellencies, the Demetria Church will be destroyed. There is no doubt about that."

In the secret meeting, Ardashir pointed at the large map revealed by the mapping spell and slammed the table at the representatives of more than a dozen countries with different expressions:

"To drop an elite force of 4000 mobile suit soldiers into the heart of an enemy country, ask yourself if your country can muster such a large mobile suit force! Can it accomplish such a goal by crossing km!"
