Alien Arms Empire

It's just that the order of hitting is a little different, and the intensity is completely different.

The Dwarves did not expect the use of precision-guided munitions in air strikes. So many precision-guided bombs completely rendered the Dwarves' solid defenses ineffective. The effect of ground-penetrating bombs combined with precise strikes is really shocking.

The landing force did not expect the dwarves to land ashore at night. The Tang Army, which used night vision goggles extensively, had unprecedentedly powerful night fighting capabilities. The dwarves were caught off guard and lost a large number of positions.

 The delay in the deployment of the airborne troops happened to avoid the time when the dwarves paid special attention to them. The dwarf armored units that were originally intended to be used on the airborne troops had already been deployed before the paratroopers arrived and went to participate in the counterattack near the coastline.

 Moss was completely dizzy. It was almost dawn now. Once dawn, Tang Guo's attack seemed to only become more sharp.

He was worried that more Tang soldiers would come ashore. When the Tang army's strength exceeded 20,000, Moss estimated that he would not be able to easily drive the Tang army into the sea.

The good news is not without it. A fleet deployed by the Tang Army to bombard the coast seemed to have been severely damaged by torpedo boat tactics. The returning speedboats brought back news that they had hit at least one cruiser and saw a battleship approaching. Fire burns.

The speedboat tactic is obviously not feasible during the day. The Tang Army will have more aircraft. If they continue to use speedboats for sneak attacks, the losses will skyrocket.

Furthermore, the naval liaison officer also roughly analyzed the situation and told Moss his opinion: The reason why the sneak attack was successful was largely because the Tang Army's fleet was relatively old.

According to the intelligence fed back by the speedboats, the Tang Army did not have many heavy-caliber rapid-fire guns specifically designed to deal with speedboats. The remaining artillery guns on the warships had slow firing speeds and poor accuracy, and did not pose any threat to them.

This means that the Tang Army fleet that suffered heavy losses from the attack was probably composed of some old fleets. Their mission was only to attack the ground and did not include sea combat. The sneak attack was successful entirely because the fleet was too close to the coastline, which was a bit of a unilateral act.

Under this analysis, Moss also calmed down and no longer pinned all his hopes on speedboat sneak attack tactics. Because in the eyes of professional naval commanders, there is no difference between using speedboats to sneak out to attack the Tang Army's aircraft carrier fleet during the day and risking death.

They are indeed right, because the Tang Army has stepped up patrols in the nearby waters, and several armed helicopters responsible for night operations have also taken off, focusing on the defense on the south side of the fleet.

With the participation of armed helicopters, it will no longer be possible for the dwarves to use a speedboat to make a sneak attack more than two hours ago.

However, the record is really a record. The dwarf speedboats forced back the Tang army's fire support fleet in the south, which naturally meant that it weakened the fire support of the Tang army in the south.

 Therefore, Moss also focused his attention on Position 4, which was adjacent to Position 5: This position had been frequently shelled by the Tang Army before, and the losses were considerable, but it was not fatal.

 The key is that now the forward position is safe! The dwarves can start from here and attack the flank of the Tang army.

Two battalions, with about 1,000 troops, were assembled here before and launched an attack on the flank of the Tang Army. However, they were pushed back by the Tang Army. Now, with support, they gathered another 1,500 people and launched another attack.

  Flares shot up into the sky one after another. For the dwarves, the darkness before dawn was almost their last chance. Along the trenches that had been damaged by artillery fire, these brave dwarf soldiers held bayonets, shouted slogans of Ula, stepped on the corpses of their companions, and moved forward one foot at a time.

Directly in front of them, the Tang Army's machine gunners, who were waiting in full swing, changed their ammunition chains. Using the light of the flares in the distance, they aimed at these slow targets and pulled the triggers without hesitation.

Bullets were sprayed densely at the advancing dwarf soldiers. One dwarf fell down after another, and blood splashed on the faces of the people around him. Before they could react, they themselves were pierced by the flying bullets. Body.

 The dwarf soldiers in the distance began to lie down, and then the dwarves also began to throw smoke bombs in an attempt to cover the attacking soldiers.

But the shooters of the Tang Army were very experienced. They used the projectile method to project the grenades directly into the places where the smoke was rising. Because the firepower was strong enough, they could strike so willfully. The dwarf soldiers advancing in the smoke were instantly killed, and the remaining people were so frightened that they did not dare to get up and move forward.

 In the pitch-black sky, a black shadow suddenly blocked a star. The chaotic battlefield was full of gunshots and explosions, and no one noticed that something was approaching.

The next second, the dark figure suddenly shot out a series of dazzling firelights. They were rockets, rushing toward the place where the illumination flares were raised like a gust of wind.

An armed helicopter of the Tang Army with night combat capabilities approached the battlefield and was ordered to suppress the counterattacking dwarves.

 A series of rockets directly hit the position covered with dwarves. For a moment, there was fire everywhere, and the sound of explosions covered up all the sounds of crying. Then the dwarf troops retreated like a tide.

Even if you can withstand the loss, the shock of the scene is enough to make you collapse. The horrific scene of rockets exploding in dense numbers completely shattered the dwarf's courage.

No matter how much the dwarf officer supervising the battle shouted, he could not gather his troops and continue the attack. Of the attacking force of more than 1,500 people, only more than 900 people escaped after just about half an hour of attack.

 A few minutes later, Moss got the news that the counterattack had failed again. For him, any loss is acceptable. What he cares about is time.

  No matter which direction you look at it, time is getting increasingly unfavorable to him. After dawn, the Tang army's action speed will speed up, and the dwarves will become more passive.

Now, Moss seems to have only one method left to win this battle: to hold off the Tang Army until the Tang Army's cross-sea supplies collapse!

It's a pity that this tactic is quite passive, and Moss doesn't know whether his side will collapse first, or whether the Tang army will collapse first.

What makes him regretful is that he has no way to change anything now. The moment the paratroopers of the Tang Army joined the battlefield, the dwarf troops almost lost their mobility. The only tactic of the Ice Empire was to rely on the defense line to defend. This was their battle Things I had thought about before.
