Walter faced a much worse situation than before, and his 1st Army was tasked with advancing along the Westward Railroad to capture the northwestern frontier town of Caiunia of the Holy Demon Empire.

The previous key defense direction of the Holy Demon Empire was also here. After all, after the Holy Demon Empire decided to turn against Iran Hill, the focus of their attack was on the northern part of the railway line related to the west.

The puppet empire's mission to the Holy Demon Empire is also very clear, it doesn't matter if it is lost anywhere else, the important thing is to stop the Iran Hill troops who are trying to reinforce Grican and the Eternal Empire on the westward railway.

Strategically, this is the main operational direction of the puppet empire alliance. Therefore, the Holy Demon Empire invested the most elite troops and was the most well-prepared.

Compared to knowing nothing about the puppet empire, Iran Hill's infiltration into the Holy Demon Empire is relatively deep. In this case, it is not easy for the archon of the Holy Demon Empire to hide from Elanhill's spies.

Therefore, on the side of the Holy Demon Empire, their preparations for war were insufficient. If the troops are mobilized in advance, then it will definitely arouse the alarm of Alan Hill. Therefore, the Holy Demon Empire only mobilized a part of the army and drove to the defense to the west, which paralyzed the intelligence department of Iran Hill.

As a result, who would have thought that the original goal of these troops was to move westward to the railway, and they drove westward in order to occupy and control Kaunia, an important transit point of the westward railway.

It can be said that the Holy Demon Empire, which had the intention of provoking a war, was successful in the initial strategic disguise and troop mobilization.

But in terms of macro strength, the huge gap between Iran Hill and the Holy Demon Empire is no longer something that can be made up by some small means and tricks.

The 1st Army went very smoothly in the initial offensive, and the 1st Panzer Division, with the cooperation of the 11th Panzer Division, went all the way west along the railway, and the rampage was unstoppable. The troops of the Holy Demon Empire resisted hard, but they were still unable to stop the 1st Army's attack.

However, in the final stage, the 1st Army slowed down the pace of the offensive because the soldiers were exhausted from continuous combat, and they had to wait for fuel and ammunition sent from the rear, as well as the construction of field airfields by front-line attack aircraft units.

As a result, the reinforcements of the puppet empire rushed to the frontal battlefield, and Caiunia became the core theater of the two sides.

The puppets and the magicians of the Holy Demon Empire have invested a lot of troops here, and when the 1st Army attacks again, it becomes difficult to advance.

On one side is the main force of the main forces of Alan Hill, the elite 1st Army; On the other side are the main force of the puppet empire and the last elite of the Holy Demon Empire - the two sides are desperately attacking each other here. ァ新ヤ~(8)~1~Chinese 網ωωω.χ~8.~1zщ.còм

Elanhill hopes to capture Kaunia and open the westward railroad to stabilize the already strapped 9th Army.

The Puppet Empire hopes to stop Ellan Hill in Caiunia and buy them time to sweep through the Eternal Empire.

If Ellan Hill cleared the defense line in advance, then it would not be so easy for the 1st Army to enter the Eternal Empire, and the puppet empire would want to take the westward railway line.

And if the puppet empire takes the eternal empire first, then the westward railway will be almost completely cut off, the 9th Army will suffer heavy losses, and the subsequent strategic situation will change radically.

"Let the 121st Infantry Division go up! Purge the troops on the outskirts of Kaunia! Staring at the map, General Walter gave the order to once again commit new combat units. The previous two infantry divisions had lost the ability to continue the offensive because of three consecutive days of fighting.

Replacing these tired troops with new forces and maintaining the offensive intensity of the troops was what Walter had to do. It's just that his order in front of him is also very helpless.

His chief of staff stood beside him and reminded: "The 121st Infantry Division just withdrew three days ago to rest...... At this time, go up again...... I'm afraid ......"

"Let them fight for a day first! Destroy part of the fortifications on the outskirts of Caiuna! Seeing that the weather is about to change, if it drags on any longer, rainy weather, without the cover of the Air Force, how can the puppets not fight back? Walter said worriedly.

Because the battlefield is along the Westward Railway, the Elanhill side is reluctant to use nuclear bombs to clean up the battlefield, and once the nuclear bombs are used, this area will not be able to be used for a long time, which is an unwilling result for the Iran Hill side, which is eager to open up the Westward Railway and want to put the Westward Railway into use immediately.

Therefore, the death order given to Walter from above was to use all the forces at his disposal to capture Caiunia as soon as possible and open up the westward railway.

Of course, because it was the main direction of attack, the 1st Army also strengthened many infantry divisions, in order to be able to achieve the campaign objectives more quickly regardless of losses during positional warfare.

In the last two days, the periphery of Caiunia has changed hands repeatedly, and Walter has invested 7 infantry divisions here, more than 100,000 people, and still has not been able to take this transportation town from the hands of the puppet empire.

"We can't afford to delay like this indefinitely! The 9th Army is still waiting for us! Staring at the map, the chief of staff also said with a worried face.

Depending on the weather, rain is likely to fall in the coming days, so Iran Hill's tough air support will be passive. This is tantamount to enhancing the puppet empire's defenses in disguise, which makes Walter and other commanders very unhappy.

The best way to solve this problem is to seize the outlying positions as soon as possible in the last few days, and advance the offensive to the city of Caiunia.

Anyway, once in the city, the bombing would not be so important, and the street fighting would not rely too much on air support, and the strong offensive of Elanhill would not be weakened too much.

On the other hand, as long as the railway station on the edge of the city is captured, then the railway will almost be opened, and the rest of the urban area, Walter can not be too anxious, just clean up slowly.

"Let the Air Force bomb here and here! Destroy the possible puppet troop artillery positions! Let the 121st Division advance to Heights 4 as soon as possible! Destroy the puppet fire points nearby! Again, Walter emphasized his command.

The chief of staff also nodded, they didn't have many options, time was a sword hanging over their heads. In this case, it is their best option to let the infantry seize the outer line of defense as soon as possible.

……

A crack cracked in the already soft earth, and a finger carved out of wood broke free from the soft dirt.

Immediately after, a puppet's palm poked out of the dirt, revealing the smooth, slender arm behind it—judging by the style, the puppet's arm was no different from the leg of a stool cut by Ellan Hill's woodworking machinery.

With the help of Iran Hill's production technology, the puppet empire can produce puppets at an incredible rate. Many parts that were previously produced by hand can now be produced directly by machinery, which is a terrible improvement.

The puppet struggled to crawl out of the floating ground on the position that had just been shelled by Iran Hill, and pulled out his half-buried Mauser 98K rifle from the dirt next to it.

He picked up his rifle and pulled the bolt, oblivious to his legs, which had been shattered by shells in the lower half of his body. The legs had lost the ability to walk, so the puppet soldier had to crawl on the ground with his arms. New 81 Chinese network updates the fastest Mobile:://

The masked puppet soldier shook his head and saw an Iran Hill M4 tank slowly moving forward beside him. Heavy tracks ran over him not far away, and the rumble of the engine was rhythmic.

The front armor plate of this huge tank is carved with elaborate runes of the magical defense barrier, and in the center is a hollow and beautiful eagle emblem. On the side of the turret of the tank, three white numbers are placed next to each other to form a number representing the unit in which the tank is located.

The puppet saw that there were Iran Hill's soldiers following the tank, so he subconsciously picked up his weapon and wanted to fire at the soldiers.

But as he was aiming, he also saw an Elanhill grenadier aiming at him with a weapon in his black hole.

He didn't fear, he didn't hesitate, he mechanically pulled the bolt with his hand, hoping to pull the trigger before the Iran Hill soldiers could fire.

It's a pity that he was still half a beat slower, and the grenadier of Iran Hill had already loaded his bullet and pulled the trigger on the puppet.

"Phew!" With a crisp gunshot, the puppet Empire's ordinary puppet soldier was shot in the head, and the bullet shattered the mask hanging on the puppet's face, revealing the puppet's ugly head made of magic crystals and various runes.

The bullet left a hole in the magic crystal, and the scattered cracks cut through the working magic runes. The puppet was paralyzed there as if it had lost its soul, still holding the good-looking Mauser 98K rifle in his hand.

"Phew!" Next to the Iran Hill grenadier who fired, another human soldier with a weapon in his hand fired a shot into the distance. Not far away, a puppet struggling to get up fell on its back amid the gunfire.

The tank ran over the corpses of the puppets piled up, and the corpses of the soldiers of the Holy Demon Empire could be faintly visible under the corpses of these puppets, and under the corpses of the soldiers of the Holy Demon Empire, there might be the corpse of an Elanhill grenadier, and underneath the corpses, there might be many, many more corpses.

Every inch of land here has been fought over and over again, and countless people have died in every trench here, but today, Iran Hill has once again taken over the place, countless leather boots trampling on the wreckage of the puppet, taking control of a position that is no different from the surface of the moon.

At the far end of the place, a black golden eagle banner was erected by the soldiers, and a huge banner fluttered in the wind.
