887 Mountains
"Boom!" The heavy artillery of the Irlanhill Empire is still roaring in the Demon Realm, and even in the ice and snow, the advance of the Orchid Hill Empire is proceeding slowly.
This 155 mm self-propelled howitzer fired a powerful shot at the artillery position far from the battlefield, and a wisp of exploding black smoke immediately rose from the mountains in the distance.
The demons commanded by the demon king Aresia have been preparing to make contact with Ellan Hill, and they have already surrendered partly, and the rest, the idea of recalcitrant resistance has been shaken.
But not all demons are ready to change owners. Further north, in the mountains, the demon forces still resisted with their defensive lines.
They built several lines of defense along the forest, but because the determination of the Irlanhill troops to attack was not strong, they stabilized their defenses, and they have held out until now.
"Boom!" Iran Hill's howitzer roared again, and a plume of black smoke rose again halfway up the mountain in the distance.
The sound of cannonballs exploding echoed through the valley, and the Iran Hill Empire's offensive was proceeding in an orderly manner.
"The attacking troops have gone up?" Putting down the binoculars, a general with a star on his shoulder asked the adjutant beside him: "Is there any news from the troops of the 1st battalion?" ”
"They were held back right in front, and the demon forces dug trenches there and deployed a large number of archers......" The adjutant said, pointing halfway up the hill to his side.
The general in charge of the offensive operation nodded and ordered: "Let the heavy artillery troops suppress the other side!" Keep firing! Let the troops of the 1st Battalion break through this line as soon as possible! ”
"Yes! Checkmate! The lieutenant saluted, and then went to deliver his orders. Soon, behind this observation post, more artillery began to attack.
The sound of the cannonball, which had just stopped, intensified again. On the hillside in the distance. Wisps of black smoke gradually joined together.
"Boom!" Another cannon sound echoed in the valley, and the dense cannon sound just now seemed to have drawn a stop, and most of it suddenly dispersed.
Then, faintly, I heard a distant, very slight machine-gun fire in the middle of the dense forest in the distance: "Tutu Tu! ”
The sound of the machine gun was mixed with the sound of the rifle firing, but because of the distance, these sounds were not so obvious.
"Report! The 1st Battalion is calling! They have attacked the position where the demons are stationed...... The other side suffered heavy losses and is organizing a retreat. ”
"The 2nd Battalion of Heavy Armored Grenadier has begun to attack! The yellow smoke over there, that's what they emitted! The adjutant pointed to the other side, where the yellow signal smoke had spread halfway up the mountain.
These colorful signals are the identification signals that indicate the bombing of aircraft and the enemy, and once there is yellow smoke in the air, it proves that the nearby positions have been completely occupied by the Iran Hill Empire.
As for the red smoke, it is to tell the bombers to hit hard and not show any mercy.
The two A-10 attack planes swept over the battlefield one after the other, and this is not the main battlefield, so the intensity of the battle cannot be compared with the frontal battlefield.
Sending two battalions to attack at the same time was already a very large-scale battle, and the demon side couldn't muster many people, and a few thousand people were already a very large army.
Now, thousands of demons are stubbornly resisting on the top of the mountain, and they have no way to retreat, because after crossing this mountain, there is a plain with a wide view.
This kind of terrain is too suitable for the Irlanhill Empire, so the demon commander decided to fight for heavy losses and also intercept the attacking troops of Irlanhill on this side of the mountain.
"Bump Bump!" The Avenger cannon of the A-10 attack aircraft began to roar, muffling out the intermittent gunfire in the distance.
Halfway up the mountain, where the woods were no longer dense, the strafing fire of the A-10 attack aircraft immediately made the demonic defense line jump.
"I heard, some demons have surrendered?" Raising the binoculars again, and looking halfway up the mountain in the distance, the general opened his mouth to ask a topic that had nothing to do with the battlefield.
The adjutant was stunned for a moment, and then quickly replied, "Your Majesty has given an order that the front line will receive 20,000 demon captives. ”
"Twenty thousand...... It's not much...... the general still held the binoculars, looked at the mountains in the distance, sighed with emotion, and continued: "I heard that they were all assigned to mining? ”
"Yes, there was a coal mine before, and it was handed over to these demons to mine. They are not mined fast and are prone to landslides. "The adjutant is very aware of this matter, because as senior commanders, they just held a liaison meeting yesterday to introduce the demon's surrender.
"I think we should give it a try, arm some demon soldiers, and let them fight their own people!" The general maintained the posture of holding the binoculars and said with an absent-minded look: "Let them eat dogs, I think it will be wonderful." ”
"Marshal Vagron fears, armed with these demons, they will turn their guns and attack us." The adjutant said what had been discussed at the meeting.
"You're still too kind, and you're too young." The general finally lowered his binoculars, for he had seen that the Eagle Banner of the Irranhill Empire had been planted in that position.
The officer had a smile on his face that he didn't know whether it was cruel or lighthearted, and he continued: "We just need to do what has already appeared on the Magic Continent and do it again." ”
He pointed to the mountain in the distance and explained to his adjutant, "This kind of thing, just ask their demon leader to explain it." ”
"Tell them that if a demonic army of ours mutinies, we'll kill the same number of demonic captives! If there is a second demon army that mutinies, we will kill four times as many demons......" The general made a head-killing pose.
"This ...... Will this work? ”
"Why not? Isn't that what happened in the past? The general said lightly: "110 years ago, in my hometown, the nobles of the Arrant Empire did just that!" ”
"Goo-to-......" The adjutant swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he turned his head a little nervously and glanced at his top boss, not seeing ruthlessness and determination in the other party's eyes, but seeing a trace of sadness and unwillingness.
"Hopefully, after General Wagron sees my report, he will carefully consider the suggestion of letting the demon crusade against the demon." After he finished speaking, he pointed to the mountains in front of him: "Let's go, advance the headquarters over there!" Over these two mountains! Tomorrow, go on the offensive! ”
