Chapter 1336 The counterattack begins

The next day, after Iron Axe returned to the Langshan command post on the Seagull, he immediately walked into the General Staff Office.

How is this trip?Itis was sitting at the mahogany table, drinking black tea leisurely.

Although everyone is very busy these days, it is common for her to work until the early morning, but she still maintains a delicate image, as if she is born with more energy and time than others. She admires this ability even with iron axes.

Morale is available.He replied briefly.

Then we can plan for the next step.Northland Pearl smiled slightly, and by the way, just last night, the defenders of Xisha City also withdrew from the defensive area.

Then there is only Shenchi Bay left... Iron Axe looks at the big map on the wall.

I suggest that they evacuate as soon as possible and send an army to respond without waiting for action when a break in the defense line appears.

Tiexao nodded, and he agreed with this judgment.

Nowadays, there are more than 50,000 devils gathering from west to east. This number will not be a problem to surround Shenchi Bay. Once the army gathers, it may be difficult for the First Army to find a suitable opportunity to retreat.

Since their strategic goals were not above a city and a land at the beginning, it was natural to give up Shenchi Bay early in order to protect the army.

Evacuation has never stopped since the enemy launched a massive attack. The residents and merchants who originally maintained the city's operation were transferred out of the city first, and then the aristocratic families and nobles who participated in Roland.

The city at this moment was just a huge empty shell. As long as the order was issued, the defenders could move immediately.

I... don't quite understand... Agesha, who was looking at the latest war report, suddenly murmured.

Is there something wrong?The iron axe walked to her.

The gap between casualties and the statistics of annihilation of the enemy... is as much as thirty times. How did this be done?Since the four cities have been in the past week and reports have been delivered in batches, they need to be summarized manually.

In order to prevent miscalculation, she repeatedly checked the arithmetic formula in her hand several times, but the answer she got still did not change.

According to statistics, the four cities have suffered more than 1,500 casualties so far, but the number of enemies destroyed is as high as 50,000, which can be described as incredible.

If it were in the Federation era, Agesha would have thought that this was intentional fraud and falsely lying to report military merits, but she had fought with the First Army many times, and it is unlikely that such problems would arise under the multi-party verification system.

Even if one or two percent of the error is thrown away, it will not change its essence.

You should know that when the First Army attacked the fertile soil plains, it only faced a devil army of only 20,000!

At that time, they built one fortress after another based on the railway that stretched for hundreds of kilometers. It took nearly a year to win the Battle of Tachila.

This time, the General Staff’s strategy was to retreat continuously, and it achieved twice the results of the fertile soil plain in eight days?

Although she was full of confidence in today's human beings, this result still shocked her.

Agesha thought that this battle would be inextricably hard to distinguish.

So that's it. After reading the statistics of the Ice Witch, Itis chuckled. To be honest, the effect of this plan was slightly beyond my expectations.However, not all this is the credit of the First Army, and the devil's cooperation is also very important. Perhaps the ambush caused Hekzod to be seriously injured, making it lack the energy to control the details of the front line.

Just this is the reason?Agesha couldn't believe it.

I know what you are wondering, Itis waved his hand. It seemed that we had just used a few retreats to get such results. The combat plan was so simple that it could be summarized in one sentence, but in fact it was not the case.You often stayed in the rear during the Federation. It is normal to put it simply. Only the current First Army can implement this tactic.

The first army during the expedition to the ruins of Taqila was not good either?

At least it won't be better than it is now.Northland Pearl explained that retreat and defeat are often only a piece of paper, and order can still be maintained under great pressure. This alone is extremely difficult, let alone orderly evacuation.If it were those noble armies, it would probably be the best performance to scatter.If the First Army had not been tested by the Tachila night attack and the execution of the orders shown by the evacuation squad, I would not have dared to risk putting this plan into practice.

In addition, the role of the new weapons is also obvious, at least in the streets of the city. Without the support of fortress cannons, they can rely on the firepower of general machine guns and field cannons to compete with the enemy.The biggest advantage of firearms is distance. Once the entire army can move and always hold the advantage in their hands, it is natural to achieve this battle result.

Speaking of this, Itis paused, but it was also true that we lost the periphery line, so the next step was the key to the entire plan.Once the devil wins the four cities, he will definitely start planning the next round of attacks. The mountain of the cage is both a barrier and a raw material for the sun's brilliance. Therefore, it is impossible to continue to use the method of replacing people with land.The enemy's power must be further reduced before they recover.

Red mist... Aegas whispered.

That's right, these four cities are already outside the Red Fog Zone, and the devil's dependence on the supply line will definitely increase significantly, and it is very likely that the blood line will reappear.The current front almost spans the entire wolf heart, and I don't think they can take into account everything.

Before the mist storage tower was established, the devil could rely on fortress-shaped beasts and human transportation equivalent to small obelisks.Iron Axe added that the previous attacks they launched from the flanks all started with the devil beasts, but according to Lightning and Maisie's observation, after losing a large number of mad demons, their protection of the devil beasts was no longer as good as before.In addition, when attacking the four cities, the supply lines of the main force on the front of the devil were all hidden in the red fog area, but next it will be exposed to the gaze of the First Army.

The problem is that it means we need to take the initiative.Agesha hesitated that the fortress-type deformed beasts could move independently and were not afraid of the strafing of the Sky Knights. If they wanted to destroy them, they could only send ground troops.But we can see the enemy, and the enemy can see us. Even if the protection of the evil beasts has decreased, they can temporarily send reinforcements to count the journey back and forth, and we are likely to lose the advantage in distance.If the devil is caught up...

In an uncovered encounter, even if the First Army can defeat the devil, it will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

So speed is everything, Itis raised the corner of his mouth, just complete the counterattack before the enemy reacted.

But how can this be done?

Aegasa turned her eyes to the map, trying to find a shortcut from Cangshan to Four Cities.

There are many roads between the two places, including the previous business roads and the hard roads built later to accelerate evacuation.

They are spread across the four cities and the cage mountains, like a spider web.

However, these roads do not have the ability to shorten the distance.

Not to mention that the First Army has no cavalry troops at all. Even if there are a large number of horses, it is still a matter of whether they can catch up with the fortress-shaped deformed beast.

What's more, the light cavalry can carry limited firepower and is not suitable for dealing with huge monsters.

Of course not now. Northern Pearl seems to see her confusion. This plan lacks a key factor. All the conditions will be considered to be met after it is in place.But as planned, you'll see it soon.
