318 duels

"I said I was going into town for dinner." On the largest demon battleship, pressing the long sword at his waist, the demon general's handsome face showed an extremely unhappy expression.

In his opinion, the human city in front of him was so close at hand, it was simply a trophy given to him for nothing. But a whole afternoon had passed, and now it was evening, and he still did not take the trophy.

This made him a little anxious, a little angry, and a little vaguely uneasy and irritable. He was worried that humanity would no longer care about the remnants of the army here, and use that terrifying weapon to destroy all the demon forces in the vicinity.

"It's so unfavorable, what's the use of keeping you?" As he spoke, the demon general turned his head sideways and swept the dark shadow at his side with a sharp eye.

The black shadow shrank into a ball and said tremblingly, "Your troops have landed, I want to ...... Soon the battle will be decided! ”

"You said that an hour ago...... The origin of magic does not need waste! The demon general's palm flicked slightly, and a scorching flame rose from the feet of the black shadow, engulfing the entire black shadow.

"Ahh The black shadow let out a hysterical scream, twisting and struggling in the flames, but it could not get rid of the flames, and finally disappeared in the flames little by little, little by little.

"I'd love to see how these poor humans are holding me back!" He pulled out the long sword in his hand, and the fleshy wings behind him suddenly unfolded, and the whole person rose into the air: "Attack with me!" ”

Behind him, there was a huge one, which had already sunk more than half of it, revealing only part of the floating castle of the tower on the sea.

After all, the water here is not that deep enough, so the castle has not completely sunk below the surface. However, the exposed part of the water has been badly damaged, and many buildings have collapsed and collapsed.

After all, under the attack of dozens of Super Hound missiles and later hit by some other bombs, this floating castle was able to remain intact, which is already a very lucky thing.

Following the demon generals took off, there were countless demon dragons, as well as strong demons riding on demon dragons.

They are the most elite demon dragon legion, and they are also the most powerful troops who follow this demon general.

These flying dragon forces skimmed across the sea, past the demon warships that were constantly firing and attacking, and then over the demon infantry who had already established a forward position on the beach.

Inside the ferry city, demon soldiers are attacking the city, some warships are docked on the docks, and some giant machines loaded with magic arrays are being unloaded.

More demons were gathering, and they didn't even clear the corpse-laden storeroom and dock area before they started to make their way to the city.

Arrayed in a phalanx, the demon troops marched along the streets and buildings with shields and weapons to attack the city. Street fighting unfolded throughout Ferry City, with the troops of Ellan Hill fighting to the death as reinforcements arrived, and the two sides fought fiercely in some neighborhoods.

Within a few hours, the casualties of the 15th Army of Iran Hill had risen to four thousand, which was a bearable figure for the defending side.

According to his long sword, the old general Madias had already felt the pressure, and the demon's attack was strong and unreasonable, which made many of the old general's tactical arrangements useless.

Although it seems that the entire campaign is still within the scope of control, there is a tendency to gradually break away from his control.

"Not yet fully mastered air supremacy?" He looked at the Air Force liaison officer on the side and asked with some dissatisfaction.

Because the air force has been unable to gain air supremacy for a long time, the demonic dragon and the demon bat have been interfering with the combat of the Iran Hill troops on the ground. These demonic forces often raid human positions, and the main enemies who cause casualties to the Elanhill forces are these flying creatures.

"I'm so sorry! The demon's flying force is crossing the mountains, and the fighter units deployed in the Hanhai and Volavo mines have to switch from offensive to defensive......" The air force officer explained, "Only our fighter units in the direction of Mayne are left, and they do not have an advantage in numbers. ”

"Fight for air supremacy as much as possible! We must cut off the attack on the beach and paralyze the enemy's landing force in order to stabilize our position and delay for more time. Madias commanded in a slightly hoarse voice.

Now there is still no problem for his troops to hold on, and if the demon forces don't have more tricks, even if he doesn't change anything, there will still be no problem holding out until the night.

And the old general Madias is worried about two other questions: the first is that these demons will really stop at night? The second question is how to fight tomorrow's battle!

The first problem is that intelligence from the 9th Army shows that demons will not take the initiative to attack and fight at night. If this is the case, then the 15th Army will be able to rest well and replenish its strength during this long night.

However, if the other side has no intention of armistice and continues to attack at night, the 15th Army, which has no time to rest, will collapse at night.

The second question is also very simple, that is, how to conduct the battle on the second day - although there are a lot of reinforcements and the material deployment is sufficient, if the demon is allowed to gain a foothold in Ferry City, then the situation will be even more passive for the 15th Army.

"The losses of the 201st Panzer Division have already exceeded a third, and quite a few units have lost contact! The commander of the 201st Panzer Division called, hoping to remove them from their positions......" At this time, an operational staff officer came over, handed the telegram to Madias, and opened his mouth to report.

The 201st Panzer Division has been fighting on the front line since the second line of defense was involved in operations. They did not rest and were not rotated, they held on to the front, hindering the demonic forces that landed in the direction of the beach and the salt pans.

Madias sent the reserve into Ferry City and threw it into the city street fighting. This was his choice, as he feared that the demon occupation of the city would cause damage, especially as the battle spread to the still-preserved industrial area of Ferry City.

If the demon destroys there, then the production capacity of Ferry City will be completely reduced to zero, even if this battle is finally won, Ferry City, which has lost its industrial base, will not be able to contribute to the Elanhill Empire in a short time.

Therefore, when Madias chose to defend Ferry City to the death, the Iran Hill field troops on the beach and salt field defense lines could only rely on themselves.

"Let him continue to hold his ground! He wants to take a break and recuperate? There are 7 divisions on the front, and they all want to withdraw and rest! Madias refused the request of the 201st Panzer Division, still ordering: "Hold every position!" Hold on until 10 o'clock today! ”

"Yes! I'm going to deliver the order! The staff officer saluted, then turned and left with Madias's orders.

"Report!" Before the staff officer had left the headquarters, a staff officer walked in quickly and reported: "The demons have joined the main force, and it seems that they don't want to wait until night......

"Is there a lot of pressure on the front-line combat troops?" The wrinkled Madias frowned and asked coldly.

"The defense line inside the city can hold out, the defense line on the beach has collapsed. Judging from the intelligence returned from the battlefield, the other side tried to encircle the 201st Armored Division and the 115th Infantry Division, which did not suffer heavy losses, near the salt field. The staff officer immediately replied.

"Order the 125th Infantry Division on the flanks to counterattack the flanks of the demonic assault troops! Can it be done? Madias asked, walking to the front of the map and gesturing to a troop on the edge of the beach line.

"I think it's a blessing that the 125th Division can hold the defensive line." The staff officer replied with some embarrassment.

"It seems that the Yanchang area will not be able to be saved......" The palm of his hand rubbed back and forth on the hilt of the sword twice, and Madias said with an ugly face: "No, we are going to lose the 201st Armored Division and the 115th Infantry Division." ”

When the staff officers who were familiar with this old general heard this, they all knew that this general, who had always been known for his steadiness, planned to sacrifice two divisions on the flank, and then buy time to arrange another line of defense in their rear.

Because it was obviously a great risk to move troops to relieve these two forces, it was not the habit of General Madias to make a temporary decision to counterattack. In this case, he would rather abandon these forces and let them buy time than risk allowing them to launch an ill-prepared local counterattack.

"The Demon Commander is a powerful guy, the timing of the entry into the reserve team is very correct, and the entry point is also very perfect. He found the weakest point in my line and cut the widest opening. Madias summed up his opponent bitterly.

Then he walked to the front of the map and said to himself firmly, "It's a pity that you met me!" Madias! ”

Suddenly, he raised his voice and ordered loudly: "Let the 201st Division hold its position!" The 115th Division retreated and broke through! You're going to cut through my defenses and eat my two divisions, I'm going to break your teeth!" ”

At the same time, in Tony's telescope, in the woods between the saltworks and the shoreline, demonic soldiers wearing glyphs and magical defense armor began to emerge. These demon soldiers are well-armed and burly, and even their shouts are a little more terrifying.

After coming out of the woodland, these demons began to send troops to form a large phalanx of infantry. Then, with a command echoing through the sky, the demons began to walk in a neat stride in the direction where Tony was.

Seeing all this, Tony put down the binoculars, pressed the throat intercom, and said to his companions with a wry smile: "Reload the high-explosive shells, the enemy is attacking!" ”
