Chapter 308: Allies who do their best

The situation on the border defense line of the Silver Wolf Empire is actually much worse than what the Emperor of the Silver Wolf Empire, Joselu, knows.

Although the silver wolf army was already mentally prepared to be attacked by the Han and Tang armies, in the face of the Han and Tang army's overshadowing aircraft groups and armored troops, the silver wolf army was still blindfolded.

Moreover, the Han and Tang imperial armies carried out blitzkrieg, after breaking through the forward positions of the silver wolf army, the Han and Tang armies immediately carried out rapid interspersed maneuvers on the enemy's deep targets, and divided and surrounded many silver wolf armies on the first line of border defense.

Therefore, a part of the Silver Wolf Army on the first border defense line of the Violet Province and the Calla Lily Province of the Silver Wolf Empire, although they received the order to retreat to the second border defense line, they were still surrounded by the Han and Tang Dynasty troops.

However, the fighting will of the Silver Wolf Army, especially the Silver Wolf Imperial Army, is still very commendable.

The encircled silver wolf army either forcibly broke through, or relied on the existing fortifications to stubbornly resist the attack of the Han and Tang armies.

Between the first and second border lines of the Silver Wolf Empire's Violet Province and the Calla Lily Province, the distance between them ranged from about 10 kilometers to 40 kilometers.

The Han and Tang armies were originally ready to break through the second border defense line in one go, but when the Han and Tang armies just began to attack the second border defense line of the Silver Wolf army, the fighters of the Red Tiger Empire appeared in the sky above the battlefield, and then the fighters of the other countries of the 9-nation military alliance also appeared in the sky above the battlefield.

The other countries of the 9-nation military alliance all understood that the Silver Wolf Empire could not be defeated by the Han and Tang armies, and the Golden Lion Empire, the Black Bear Empire, and the Flying Leopard Empire hoped to limit the battlefield of land warfare to the territory of the Silver Wolf Empire.

Therefore, the Golden Lion Empire, the Black Bear Empire, and the Flying Leopard Empire immediately sent a large number of jet fighters, and after the transfer of several intermediate airfields, they flew to the front line of the Violet Province and the Calla Lily Province of the Silver Wolf Empire.

The Red Tiger Empire, the Brute Bull Empire, and the three elven nations also sent jet fighters to the Silver Wolf Empire to support them through the different time and space nodes in the Silver Wolf Empire.

The Magpie jet fighter equipped by the Royal Air Force of the Han and Tang Empires, although its comprehensive performance can still be called the world's most advanced jet fighter.

But the jet fighters of the three elven nations and the Golden Lion Empire are not inferior to the Magpie jet fighters in terms of combat effectiveness.

Even the new jet fighter developed and produced by the Red Tiger Empire only a year ago can fight with the Magpie jet fighter in the air for a long time without falling behind.

With the support of a large number of jet fighters from other countries of the 9-nation military alliance, the Silver Wolf army finally barely resisted the attack of the Han and Tang armies in the second line of border defense.

The commander in charge of commanding this blitzkrieg on the side of the Han and Tang Empires was Army General Song Shenghe, who was transferred to the Jingzhou Military Region as commander-in-chief the year before last.

In order to prevent high-level officers from privatizing the army, the high-ranking officers of the Han and Tang Empires would be rotated every few years, and Song Shenghe had been serving as the commander of the Luoshan Military Region.

After receiving the battle report from the front, Song Shenghe said to Li Guangbei, deputy commander-in-chief of the Jingzhou Military Region, in a deep voice: "I didn't expect that the other countries of the 9-nation military alliance would react so quickly.

Immediately let the air force concentrate its forces and carry out focused bombing on several points of the second border defense line of the silver wolf army.

At the same time, let the various group armies make use of these points bombed by the air force to carry out breakthroughs, and strive to destroy the second line of border defense of the silver wolf army before the arrival of the army units of the other countries of the nine military alliances. ”

Li Guangbei, deputy commander-in-chief of the Jingzhou Military Region, was previously the deputy commander-in-chief of the Qiongzhou Military Region, and before Zhou Rui took over the Zhou family, Li Guangbei was a company commander of the guard battalion of the Ganyang City Garrison Brigade.

With the rise of the Zhou family, a small company commander back then can now be called one of the military bosses of the Han and Tang Empires.

Li Guangbei hesitated for a moment and said: "Old Song, some troops on the front line have been fighting for two days and nights in a row, should you let the frontline troops rest for a day before continuing to attack the second border defense line of the Silver Wolf Army?" ”

Song Shenghe said categorically: "Now it's time to compete with the reinforcements from other countries of the 9-nation military alliance.

The troops on the front line can only hold on to it any longer, as long as the second border defense line of the silver wolf army is also taken, the next battle will be easy to fight. ”

Li Guangbei nodded, "Then do what you say, Old Song!"

However, we still have enough reserves in our hands, and I suggest that we can transfer some of them to strengthen the attack force of the front-line troops. ”

"Yes."

In a palace in the Imperial Palace in Dawning City, the capital of the Red Tiger Empire, Emperor Gruyan asked Prime Minister Kudp, "How many jet fighters has the Royal Air Force supported to the front line of the Silver Wolf Empire?" ”

Prime Minister Kudpu said: "Your Majesty, the Royal Air Force has sent more than 1,300 Tiger jets and more than 500 Tiger jets. ”

The Panhu jet fighter is the first jet fighter developed by the Red Tiger Empire, and its performance basically belongs to the first generation of fighters.

The Flying Tiger jet fighter is a new jet fighter developed and produced by the Red Tiger Empire only a year ago, which can be regarded as a second-generation fighter.

Emperor Gruyan frowned and said, "The number is too small, let the Royal Air Force send some more jet fighters to help the Silver Wolf Army hold the second line of border defense, and buy enough time for our Red Tiger Empire's expeditionary force." ”

In order to regain the approximately 13 million square kilometers of land occupied by the Han and Tang Empires, the Red Tiger Empire began a large-scale expansion of its army long before the massacre of human civilians occurred in the territory of Silver Wolf and Flying Leopard.

Today, the Red Tiger Empire, with a total population of about 210 million, has 18 million troops alone, and the Red Tiger Empire's navy and air force combined have more than 3.5 million people.

In addition to the regular army on active duty, the Red Tiger Empire also requires all Tiger men and sheep men over the age of 18 and under 50 in the country to participate in military training and be incorporated into the reserve force.

The expeditionary force in Emperor Gruyang's mouth is composed of 5 million Red Tiger Empire army troops, and these 5 million army troops are only the first batch of expeditionary force troops sent by the Red Tiger Empire to the New World.

Anyway, the top brass of the Red Tiger Empire are mentally prepared to take back the 13 million square kilometers of the New World, even if it costs a lot!

Prime Minister Kudp then explained: "Your Majesty, it's not that the Royal Air Force doesn't want to send more jet fighters to help the Silver Wolf Army fight for air supremacy.

In fact, within the Violet Province and Calla Lily Province of the Silver Wolf Empire, there are not enough airfields to accommodate more jet fighters.

After all, in addition to our Red Tiger Empire, the other countries of the 9-nation military alliance have also sent a large number of jet fighters into the Violet Province and Calla Lily Province of the Silver Wolf Empire. ”

When Emperor Gruyan heard Prime Minister Kudp say this, he didn't mention the matter of asking the Royal Air Force of the Red Tiger Empire to send more jet fighters to the Silver Wolf Empire.

The expeditionary force composed of 5 million Red Tiger Imperial Army troops is not something that can be dispatched, and a large amount of war materials need to be prepared before departure.

Emperor Gruyan could only hope that the Silver Wolf Army could hold the second line of defense before the Red Tiger Empire Expeditionary Force arrived, or until reinforcements sent by other allies arrived, so that the war in Violet Province and Calla Lily Province would not be corrupted.

Emperor Gruyan then changed the subject, "How is the Royal Navy preparing?" ”

In the decisive naval battle between the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires and the combined fleet of the navies of the nine countries, the navy of the Red Tiger Empire can be said to have suffered heavy losses.

However, after several years of frantic shipbuilding, the Red Tiger Empire's navy has recovered and become stronger.

Today, the Red Tiger Empire's navy has 120 aircraft carriers, 60 Overlord Tiger-class aircraft carriers and 60 Decepticon-class aircraft carriers.

The Tyrannosaurus Tiger-class aircraft carrier has a full load displacement of 42,000 tons, a maximum speed of 30 knots, and can carry 60 jet carrier-based aircraft.

The Decepticon-class aircraft carrier has a full load displacement of 52,800 tons, a maximum speed of 30 knots, and can carry 72 jet carrier-based aircraft.

In addition to aircraft carriers, the Navy of the Red Tiger Empire had 306 battleships and 162 battlecruisers.

This includes 60 Iron-Headed Tiger-class super battleships, 50 Spotted Tiger-class battleships, and 50 Tiger-class battlecruisers built after the war.

The Spotted Tiger-class all-main gun battleship, with a full load displacement of 57,600 tons, a maximum speed of 29 knots, is equipped with four triple 45 times caliber 420 mm main guns.

The Tiger-class battle cruiser has a full load displacement of 58,800 tons, a maximum speed of 34 knots, and is equipped with three triple 45 times caliber 420 mm guns.

The Spotted Tiger-class battleships with full main guns and the Winged Tiger-class battlecruisers were the capital ships that the Red Tiger Empire began to build during the last war with the Han and Tang Empires.

The iron-headed tiger-class super battleship was designed and built by the Red Tiger Empire under the leadership of Emperor Gruyan after learning that the Han and Tang Empires and the Golden Lion Empire had built super battleships with a full load displacement of more than 100,000 tons.

The Iron-headed Tiger-class super battleship has a full load displacement of 118,800 tons, a maximum speed of 29 knots, and is equipped with five triple 45 times caliber 480 mm main guns.

Prime Minister Kudpu said: "Your Majesty, the Royal Navy's 120 aircraft carriers, 306 battleships and more than 162 battle cruisers are ready for battle.

The Royal Navy also retrofitted 180 escort carriers with large transport ships, but these 180 escort carriers carried only a small number of jet-based carrier-based fighters, while bombers and torpedo aircraft were equipped with propeller-based carrier-based aircraft. ”

Emperor Gruyan nodded with satisfaction, "In this way, our Red Tiger Empire's Royal Navy already has 300 aircraft carriers.

If the combined naval fleet of the nine countries is formed again, let the Royal Navy send all these 300 aircraft carriers to join the joint fleet of the nine national navies.

In this war with the Han and Tang Empires, our Red Tiger Empire has no way out, and we must do our best to achieve the final victory in this war! ”

In the palace of the Emerald City, the capital of the Nature Elven Empire, the Elven Empress Brina asked Prime Minister Prono, "How is the battle situation in the Silver Wolf Empire?" ”

Prime Minister Prono immediately said: "Your Majesty, with the assistance of the air forces of our Natural Elves, Light Elves, and Dark Elves, plus the support of the air forces of the other five orc countries, the Silver Wolf Army has temporarily held the second line of border defense. ”

Elven Empress Brina's brows furrowed slightly, "Is it just temporary?" ”

Prime Minister Prono explained: "The Silver Wolf Empire is a bit cocooned this time.

After the shelling incident, the Han and Tang Empires did not wait for the Silver Wolf Empire to declare war, and directly launched an attack on the border defense line of the Silver Wolf Empire, which can be said to have caught the Silver Wolf Empire by surprise.

According to the information we have received, the army of the Silver Wolf Empire, on the first border defense line alone, the annihilated and surrounded troops combined, more than 3.5 million, of which about half were surrounded.

However, according to the current situation, it may be difficult for the remaining army units of the Silver Wolf Empire to break out of the encirclement of the Han and Tang Dynasty armies, which can be regarded as a heavy blow to the Silver Wolf Empire.

It will also have a certain impact on the silver wolf army's next defense line of the second border defense. ”

"Aren't the eight allies, including our three elven nations, all preparing to send reinforcements to the Silver Wolf Empire?"

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the silver wolf army will not be able to hold out on to the arrival of reinforcements from all countries on the second border defense line."

Elven Empress Brina's tone suddenly became a little solemn, "Prime Minister Prono, this time we natural elves, even light elves and dark elves, will make a big gamble that has never been done before.

For this big gamble, our three elf countries have done their best to expand the three armies of the sea, land and air, and no one can afford to lose this big gamble. ”

Relying on the alliance with the Golden Lion, the Black Bear, the Silver Wolf, and the Flying Leopard, the three elven countries imported a large amount of iron ore from the above four beast countries, making the three elven countries, like the Red Tiger Empire, get rid of the restrictions of lack of iron ore, and also embark on a crazy rhythm of military expansion, especially for the navy.

At present, the navy of the Nature Elf Empire has 240 aircraft carriers, which is even more than the number of aircraft carriers of the Golden Lion Empire, including 120 Fire Spirit-class aircraft carriers with a full load displacement of 45,000 tons and 120 Water Spirit-class aircraft carriers with a full load displacement of 58,000 tons.

In addition, the navy of the Nature Elf Empire also has 183 battleships and 160 battlecruisers, of which 160 battleships and 160 battlecruisers were newly built in two batches after the war.

The 160 battleships were all Jumu class, with a full load displacement of 48,000 tons, a maximum speed of 30 knots, and four twin 45-caliber 400 mm guns.

The 160 battlecruisers were all of the Purple Leaf class, with a full load displacement of 51,000 tons, a maximum speed of 35 knots, and three twin 45-caliber 400 mm guns.
