542 Maritime and onshore

On the sea, a huge fleet was moving forward, and because of the extremely fast speed, the waves in the bow were cut and stretched for a long time.

There is no end in sight to these warships, the largest of which is at the core, and the smaller ones surround the larger ones, forming a defensive momentum.

Standing on the bridge of the battleship Dreadnought, Lawrence watched as the sharp bow of the massive battleship cut through the waves. He looked at the countless warships in the distance that were turning slightly in response to the order he had just given, and he also saw two F-14 Tomcat fighters patrolling in the distance.

"General! Marshal Wagron called! After about four hours, they will arrive at the predetermined war zone. An officer stood behind Lawrence and reported the message he had just received.

Lawrence nodded, indicating that he already knew the result. What he was most worried about was the air supremacy of his fleet, and with the addition of the Sky Fleet, he was confident that he would seize air supremacy in the theater in the hands of the demons.

Once he has mastered the air supremacy in the theater, he can calmly command the fleet to launch an attack and completely annihilate the demon fleet in front of him.

"Satellite reconnaissance results show that the demon fleet is unaware of our arrival, and they are still heading south at full speed, as if they want to go to the southern region to join the demon forces there." Another officer approached and handed Lawnes a telegram from the satellite unit.

Lawrence took the message, looked at the description carefully, nodded again, and said, "Okay, I already know." ”

Because Iran Hill's reconnaissance methods are too powerful, almost every move of the demon is under Iran Hill's control.

The news of the large-scale northward movement of the Iran Hill fleet was completely unaware of the demon forces. For Lawres, this was his unintentional calculation of the other party, and the initiative of the battle was completely in his hands.

A few hours earlier, he had ordered the submarine forces to speed up and arrive in front of the fleet to launch a search formation.

Moreover, the aircraft carrier fleet behind him has also sent AWACS aircraft and is searching the entire sea surface with radar.

As soon as a submarine or an airplane discovers the target, the battle can begin.

Behind Lawrence was a fleet of aircraft carriers, with hundreds of planes ready to take off at any moment and rain massive amounts of ammunition on the enemy.

10 missile cruisers are ready for battle, and when they get the radar parameters, they can launch Tomahawk cruise missiles and beat the opposing fleet into a sieve.

As the minutes ticked by, the atmosphere inside the bridge was solemn, and everyone was waiting, waiting for the moment when the demon was discovered.

It wasn't until more than two hours later that an officer hurriedly walked in and reported: "Overlooking the 14th, the radar reflection signal has been discovered, and the movement of the Demon Air Force has been discovered!" ”

"Order the aircraft carrier fleet, take off the carrier-based aircraft to intercept the demon air force! Order the destroyers on the left and right to divide the flotilla and extend to the two wings...... Lawrence grabbed the binoculars on his chest and looked at the battleships on either side.

As the whistle of the battleship sounded, the destroyers on the flanks of the distant fleet began to turn sharply, stretching the formation of the entire Ellan Hill fleet a little longer.

At this time, the entire Iran Hill fleet was stretched like a huge rugby, gradually forming a huge one-line formation. Although the thickness of this one is still very large, it is a bit thin compared to the length of the flanks.

And the demon troops, who didn't seem to know that Iran Hill's fleet had arrived, were still heading south in a marching formation at the same time, like a giant egg.

"It's bait!" A combat staff officer stared at the various reference information sent on the screen, and said to General Lawnes: "They have a radar system, although they have been suppressed and interfered with by us, but it is impossible for them not to detect our arrival!" ”

While fighting in the Ameshir region, Iran Hill's combat forces discovered that the Demon Force had a replica of the Magic Radar System.

Similarly, on the front line of the puppet empire, the troops of Irlanhill captured similar equipment, and after testing, it was proved that the enemy army also had radar-like detection equipment.

Since the other side has been using radar-like detection devices for several months, it is impossible not to use them now.

"Now that they know that we have arrived, they have not yet responded and maintained this beaten formation...... It's almost a bait. Lawrence said with a sneer when he saw the real-time simulation of the situation.

On the computer screen, the other party was still gathered together, and it looked like they were about to be surrounded by the long snake formation of Alan Hill.

"Send a telegram to the submarine forces! Let them not attack, save ammunition, bypass these demon battleships in front, and strike at the main force of the demon fleet behind! Lawrence thought for a moment and gave his own response.

He looked at the officers beside him, and then opened his mouth to add an order: "Order the destroyer fleets on both sides to be careful, let them ensure the safety of both wings!" ”

"Overlooking the call of AWACS No. 16, in the flank and rear of the enemy's forward fleet, a much larger fleet is moving towards our right flank." The communications officer sent another new message, the latest discovery of the AWACS aircraft.

"What a big appetite! Found out that we didn't want to run away, but we were ready to eat it in one bite? Lawrence looked as usual, and continued to command calmly: "Let Prunike's 1st Cruiser go forward and attack the demon fleet directly in front of you alone!" ”

"Let Maher's 2nd Cruiser move to the right! Stop the demon fleet on the periphery! Lawrence ticked the box on the computer screen with his hand, and the two detachments became independent, moving clearly in the direction he commanded.

"General Maher is calling, his fleet is turning!"

"Admiral Plunike's fleet is on its way!"

"Who said I had to eat this bait with my entire fleet? To fight such a fleet, I will dispatch only one cruiser, and it will be enough. With the victory in his hands, Lawrence continued to order: "Order the aircraft carrier fleet to keep course, and the artillery support fleet to begin to turn!" The arrangement of demons is not so simple, on our left flank, there must be a fleet of demons! ”

"Left rudder three five!" The pilot of the battleship Dreadnought turned the steering wheel in front of him and shouted, "Battleship turn!" ”

"Three-five-point on the left side! Veer! The officer in charge of liaising with the other warships pinched the intercom and ordered loudly.

On the rough seas, the huge hull of the Ellan Hill began to turn, and one after the other the battleship departed from the original fleet's course.

"Sir! Marshal Wagron called, they still have an hour to enter the war zone! A few minutes later, an officer in charge of liaison returned to Lawrnes' side and saluted.

Lawnes's palms were clenched into a fist behind his back, and it seemed to be very forceful, and the joints of his fingers were slightly white from the force: "Let Pron Ike fire!" ”

At 9:37 a.m., the cruiser "Danos" in front of the Elanhill fleet began to launch Tomahawk cruise missiles at the demon fleet, and the naval battle between Irlanhill and the devil, known as the "Battle of the North Sea", officially began.

At the same time, on the other side of the world, on the border line of Grican, in a deep trench, the soldiers of Griken's 1st Army saw the demon legion densely pressed through the battlements on the sandbags of the position.

"Enemy attack!" He reminded his companion loudly, and then took out his matching gun, aiming the muzzle of an STG-44 assault rifle at the demon dog in the distance.

A few seconds later, the sound of fierce gunfire echoed across the wilderness, and dense tracer bullets weaved a net of fire in front of the position, and under this large net were demon dogs that were constantly running and jumping.

"Boom!" The 155 mm towed howitzers roared at the rear of the position, all of which were based on the 1st Grican Army, which was organized by the Elanhill Army, and was equipped with the same standard armament as the Elanhill.

These large-caliber howitzers may not be as good as the M109 self-propelled guns equipped with Irlanhill in terms of mobility and protection, but they are not much inferior in terms of gun power.

A cannonball flew out of the barrel and drew a beautiful arc in the sky, eventually crashing into a phalanx full of demon soldiers, and bursting into a brilliant firework in the crowd.

However, before the demon soldiers who had been beaten into a sieve by shrapnel could fall, they were overwhelmed by the phalanx formed by the surrounding demon soldiers.

This time, the number of demons is more than ever, and the types of demons are more comprehensive than ever.

In addition to the two-headed and three-headed demon dogs, there are also demons with huge statures, demons in heavy armor, countless demon warriors, and one giant demon war machine after another.

"Call for help in the rear immediately! We can't make it this time tomorrow! They must send reinforcements immediately! On the battlefield, looking at the countless demon forces in the distance, the commander of Grecon ordered anxiously.

"Send a telegram to General Saffiral! We need a lot of weapons and ammunition, and we need at least 30,000 soldiers to reinforce us! Go! Just go! Seeing that the nervous herald was still not moving, the officer spoke up again.

Just behind him, countless demon forces were already approaching the first line of defense on the Griken side, which was not the main line of defense on the Griken side, so there were no sufficient troops stationed.

Because there was not enough firepower, it looked like it was about to be covered by demons, but the stubborn machine gun on the position was still roaring in front of the demons.

"Isn't the retreat order for the first line of defense ordered?" Watching as the herald went to deliver the order, the Greccan officer turned to his own defensive positions in the distance, where there was still sporadic resistance, and asked his lieutenant standing beside him.

The deputy officer had a solemn expression and said to his superior: "The star has been conveyed, but it is still a little late...... Some of the troops were not connected, some were connected, but they had no chance of retreating. ”

"So that the artillery does not have to retain strength, it is better to use up all the reserve shells!" The commander was dressed in armor, which was more or less the difference between Grecan's modern troops, and what little was left of Iran Hill's troops.

"The order has been given, and the artillerymen are firing non-stop...... However, there are too many demons, and our frontal firepower is still inferior to that of the Elan Hill troops. The deputy officer said with a bitter face.

On the other side, the MG-42 machine gun was still roaring, tracer bullets erupted from the barrel, and after only a few dozen meters away, it flew into the galloping demon dogs.

The distance between the two sides was too close, and soon the flight path of the tracer bullet was drowned out by the demon dog, and there was no sound from the machine gun position that kept firing.

Then, in the next second, on Griken's main position, a new roar began with the crossfire of the machine guns. More machine guns joined the roar, pushing the demon dogs back to where they had set out, as they tried to break through the human defenses in one fell swoop.

"Send another telegram urging the rear to send ammunition and reinforcements as soon as possible! Damn, why are they so slow? Why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet? Less than half an hour had passed, and Officer Grecken, who had lost his guard position, felt a tremendous pressure.

He feels like he's been living like years now, and every minute and second that passes puts him under more pressure. The pressure was unprecedented, and the enemy in front of him was still advancing under the suppression of artillery fire and machine guns.

"We've got it done on our side...... Think about the other side, our magic legion...... They are the ones who need more support......" The adjutant replied at the officer's words.

Although he knew that his superiors were not really asking questions, or that he knew that what the other party was asking was not a question that he needed to answerβ€”he explained it anyway.

"yes...... Don't lose the position over there. Otherwise, our flanks will be finished. The leading officer sighed, grabbed the binoculars on his chest, and looked at the defensive position in the distance.

The high-powered telescope is very advanced, but it is a bit out of place with his armor.

In his field of vision, a volley of rockets from behind him landed in the midst of the demonic crowd. In an instant, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and there were explosions everywhere.

The demon forces were obviously hindered by these sea of fire falling from the sky, but they didn't delay long, and more demons rushed up with great momentum, once again rushing towards the position of the 1st Army of Griken.

In the sky, two MiG-21 fighters flew low above the demon's head, raining rockets under their wings into the most dense areas of the demon, and then suddenly pulled up again, avoiding the fireballs of various sizes rising from the ground.

"Knock knock knock...... To the dull sound of the demon's war drums, a column of ten-meter-tall orangutan-like beasts began to move forward slowly. There was no intention of giving Greken's troops any respite, and the second wave of demonic attacks began.
