Candace City, a medium-sized city in the southern part of the Bauhinia Province of the Silver Wolf Empire, has a population of about 400,000, of which two-thirds of the inhabitants are humans, one-third of the inhabitants are werewolves, and a small number of dog-people, fox-people, cat-people, and rabbits also live in the city.

Candace, in the orc language, means passionate, and before the orcs entered this world, the name of Candace City was Suikang City.

In the early morning of August 10, 1539, the 1st and 2nd Infantry Divisions of the Silver Wolf Column suddenly appeared outside the city of Candace and launched a fierce attack on the city.

At this time, the Silver Wolf Emperor's ** team stationed in Candace City included the Fourth Infantry Division of the Twentieth Army of the Silver Wolf Empire's Royal Army, as well as the 3 security regiments in Candace City.

According to the establishment of the Royal Army of the Silver Wolf Empire, an infantry division has 3 infantry brigades, 1 baggage regiment, 1 heavy artillery battalion, and 1 guard battalion, with a total strength of about 18,000.

However, the 4th Infantry Division stationed in Candace City had participated in several encirclement and suppression operations against the Silver Wolf Column before, and its own losses were not small, and now the entire infantry division only had about 13,000 combatable soldiers.

The 1st Infantry Division and the 2nd Infantry Division of the Silver Wolf Column have just replenished the losses of the previous battle, and the two infantry divisions together have a total of 70,000 people, and they are well-armed and equipped, and many of them officers and veterans are drawn from the Fengwu Army, the Zhenwei Army and the Jinnan Army.

This made the combat effectiveness of the First Infantry Division and the Second Infantry Division of the Silver Wolf Column no worse than the infantry divisions of the Fengwu Army, the Zhenwei Army, and the Jinnan Army.

As for the three security regiments stationed in Candace City all the year round, not only did they not help the Fourth Infantry Division of the Twentieth Army of the Royal Army of the Silver Wolf Empire, but instead sprinkled a handful of salt on the knife edge of this Fourth Infantry Division.

Under the planning of the intelligence department of the Silver Wolf Column, the human soldiers of the three security regiments in Candace City, when the soldiers of the First Infantry Division and the Second Infantry Division of the Silver Wolf Column approached the city, they killed all the wolf clan officers and dog clan officers in the three security regiments, and opened the gates of Candace City for the two infantry divisions of the Silver Wolf Column.

More than two hundred years ago, in addition to the different space-time nodes that led to the beast world, there were also other-space-time nodes that connected to the beast world.

In order to guard against fierce beasts, not only did human countries build high giant walls in one city after another, but after the orcs occupied the Western Continent, they also built giant walls for each city.

For example, the walls of Candace City are nearly 20 meters high and about 6 meters thick, and are made of long bluestones.

Without the help of the three vigilante human soldiers to open the city gates, the Silver Wolf Column would have to go through a bitter battle if they wanted to attack Candace City.

Knowing that the city wall was lost and the human soldiers of the three security regiments defected, the commander of the 4th Infantry Division of the 20th Army of the Royal Army of the Silver Wolf Empire, De Shano, gathered all the officers he could find.

"I have sent a telegram to the War Office asking for help, but the one infantry division closest to Candace will not arrive until 24 hours later.

Now I order, mobilize all the forces that can be mobilized, and start street battles with the human resistance army at all costs, as long as there is still a wolf clan alive in Candace City, Candace City will never fall! ”

Due to the mobilization of many wolf civilians to participate in the battle, the battle in Candace City became extremely fierce, and the wolf people even reached the level of defending every inch of land.

Sometimes there is a small yard, and the two sides will fight over it repeatedly.

Holding a Czech ZB-26 light machine gun in his hand, Sha Biao stood by the window on the second floor of a building, constantly strafing the werewolves who rushed over.

Sha Biao was originally an ordinary soldier in the army of the Changjia family in Danyang, the southern province of the Bajin Empire, and after the surrender of the Changjia in Danyang, Sha Biao was incorporated into the southern army of Jin as a soldier.

Later, the Southern Jin Army selected a group of officers and veterans to go to the Silver Wolf Empire, and the unconcerned Sha Biao took the initiative to sign up, and now Sha Biao is already a platoon commander of the First Infantry Division of the Silver Wolf Column.

Repelled the attack of this wave of wolf people, Deputy Platoon Commander He Junfeng limped over, "Platoon Commander, three more brothers have died, and now there are only 17 of us in the platoon who can breathe, and there are still 4 seriously injured inside."

The brothers also had not many bullets and grenades in their hands. ”

He Junfeng's thigh was pierced by a bullet.

"Have you contacted the company?" Sha Biao asked in a deep voice.

He Junfeng, the deputy platoon commander, shook his head, "The company headquarters and the other two platoons of our company seem to have retreated to the street on the left just now, but now that street has been taken back by the army of the Silver Wolf Empire."

Our two-story building is almost surrounded by wolf people. ”

Sha Biao then scolded and said: "I didn't expect that these wolf cubs in Candace City are quite kind, and they dare to fight with us with kitchen knives, it seems that our silver wolf column will have to pay a lot of price if they want to take Candace City." ”

As soon as Sha Biao's words fell, a soldier shouted: "Platoon commander, the wolf people are attacking again!" ”

Sha Biao looked out of the window, and couldn't help but curse in his heart, there were at least hundreds of wolf civilians, with all kinds of weapons in their hands, rushing towards the small building where they were.

"Lao He, tell the brothers to save bullets, and I don't know when reinforcements will come, so we have to save some money."

"Platoon commander, why don't you take a few brothers to stand out and find our troops?"

"What nonsense, when Lao Tzu brought you in, he had to take you out!

If you want to live together, if you want to die, you will die here together! ”

This time, it was Xiang Tao, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Silver Wolf Column, who was responsible for leading the two infantry divisions to attack Candace City, and after learning that a large number of wolf civilians in Candace City also participated in the battle, Xiang Tao had to send the heavy artillery units of the two infantry divisions into Candace City.

The 155mm howitzers and 105mm howitzers of the 2 infantry divisions were used as scavengers, and the buildings held by the werewolves were blown into ruins.

You must know that the humans and wolves in Candace City live together, so using heavy artillery to open the way will inevitably cause a lot of accidental injury.

In the face of the swarming enemy reinforcements around Candace City, even if Xiang Tao arranged some troops responsible for blocking and made some other arrangements, Xiang Tao knew very well that he must take Candace City as soon as possible in order to gain the initiative.

Thanks to the heavy artillery troops' artillery bombardment, Sha Biao soon waited for the arrival of reinforcements, but at this time, only 12 people were left alive in Sha Biao's platoon, and the deputy platoon commander He Junfeng was also seriously injured and fell into a coma.

After Sha Biao handed over the deputy platoon commander He Junfeng and other seriously wounded to the unit responsible for collecting the wounded, Sha Biao and the remaining four soldiers in the platoon still joined the attacking force.

The fierce battle in Candace City lasted until the evening of the next day, and the organized resistance of the werewolves was completely wiped out, but there were still many werewolf stragglers in the city, so gunshots would be heard from time to time in Candace City.

De Shanuo, the commander of the Fourth Infantry Division of the Twentieth Group Army of the Royal Army of the Silver Wolf Empire, was escorted in front of Xiang Tao by Sha Biao and two other soldiers.

"Deputy Commander of the report, this wolf cub is Deshano!" Sha Biao reported to Xiang Tao with some excitement.

Sha Biao didn't expect that he could capture alive a major general division commander of the Silver Wolf Empire, when Sha Biao rushed into a private house with two soldiers under his command, and found De Shano who had been stunned by a cannonball.

Seeing De Shano wearing the rank of major general, Sha Biao knew that he had caught a big fish, and sure enough, De Shano's identity was soon confirmed.

Xiang Tao looked at De Shano and said with a smile: "I don't know General De Shano, can you understand our Han and Tang dialects?" ”

De Shanor then said in a very lame Han and Tang dialect: "Don't be complacent, the Imperial army is coming from all directions, and soon you so-called human rebels will be wiped out by the Imperial army. ”

Xiang Tao said indifferently: "It may be necessary to disappoint General De Shano, those Silver Wolf Emperor ** teams you are looking forward to may not be able to reach Candace City." ”

In an office in the Governor's Mansion of Silver Light City of the Silver Wolf Empire, Governor Igna shouted hoarsely to Luca, the Deputy Minister of the War Department, "Why did you let several reinforcements retreat?

Are you going to watch Candace fall into the hands of the human rebels! ”

Luca, the deputy minister of the War Department, said with a wry smile: "Governor, the 4th Infantry Division of the Twentieth Army stationed in Candace City has been completely wiped out, and even if reinforcements arrive in Candace City, it will be useless.

Moreover, after those troops rushed over to reinforce them, a large number of traces of human resistance appeared around the city where those troops were stationed.

In order to prevent the human rebels from attacking these cities, they had to withdraw to their respective cities first. ”

Governor Igna gritted his teeth and said, "Then watch the city of Candace be overrun by the human rebels?" ”

Lukka hurriedly said: "Governor, rest assured, the 5 armies and 10 independent divisions of the expeditionary force will soon launch an encirclement and suppression operation against the human resistance in Bauhinia Province, Tulip Province and Phalaenopsis Province.

Three of these armies and four separate divisions will enter Bauhinia Province, and it should be easy to recapture Candace City by then.

It's just ......"

"Just what?"

"It's just that the number of civilians of our wolf clan in Candace City may reach more than 100,000, if we take some extreme measures against human civilians in the next encirclement and suppression operations, I am afraid that the human resistance army will retaliate against the civilians of our wolf clan in Candace City."

Governor Igna waved his hand and said, "If you take care of this and there, you don't need to fight."

If the human rebels dare to slaughter the civilians of our wolf clan in Candace City, I, Igna, swear that I will make the humans in the empire pay a thousand times the price! ”
