In the telescope, Weiss saw a clear outline of the stadium in the north of the city. It is a huge building that can accommodate 100,000 people, surrounded by cable-stayed bridge towers and steel cables, and has a strong industrial appearance. While studying at the Barston Military Academy, he visited the stadium twice and witnessed the grand scene of federal athletics and witnessed the admiration for strength and speed of the people of Aocheng. It was an exciting scene that seemed like it was yesterday, but the scene in front of me made people feel like a world away.

On the southeast side of the stadium building, there is a gap forty or fifty feet high and more than ten feet wide, and many people in civilian attire are carrying corpses back and forth under the supervision of Norman soldiers with loaded guns, and the mottled blood stains at the gap are still shocking! When the Norman army attacked the city, the attackers and defenders fought fiercely in the vicinity, and with the size and structure of the stadium, it was inevitable that it would be attacked by artillery fire. Although there was no large-scale collapse of the stadium wall at that time, the remnants of the war were still visible. Weiss could imagine that the instinctive desire to survive prompted the detained civilians and soldiers to rush out, and that the Norman commander gave the order, and the soldiers ruthlessly pulled the trigger, and the rain of bullets rained down on the flesh and blood, resulting in a bloody tragedy......

Under the gloomy sky, black smoke drifted from time to time in the line of sight. In the direction of the central city, the sound of gunfire is still dense, and in the area in front of them, the Norman army is also in full swing to prepare for battle. Not far from the stadium, Weiss saw a Norman warship moored on the ground, which was a 30,000-ton capital ship based on its size, and judging by its silhouette, it was supposed to be a warship captured from the Kingdom of Wessex. The main warships built in the northern countries have always been heavily armored, weakly armed, and slow. The Normans deployed it here, apparently as a ground command. During the observation, Weiss carefully read the data on the combat effectiveness of this battleship, and it became clear that it had normal flight and combat capabilities, that is, it could still rise into the air if necessary. However, a single ship will not only be alone in a large-scale military operation, but will also become a target for enemy shells and bombs.

With tens of thousands of Austrian soldiers and civilians trapped in the stadium on the one hand, and Norman warships that had a major impact on the situation in Austria, Weiss seems to be at a fork in the road where a choice needs to be made. Octavier and Lune remain in the sewers in the city center, and they are about to join forces to attack the Norman army guarding August's steel building, and do everything they can to blow up the last skyscraper, whether they succeed or not, they will certainly not be able to spare any help to Weiss. Weiss pondered for a long time, and finally turned his mind to the challenge in front of him with unconventional thinking!

At dusk, there was a brief pause in the gunfire that had been going on all day in the city. Weiss wasn't sure if this was a deliberate change in the pace of the Union forces in order to gain momentum in the upcoming night battle, or if there had been a change in the factors at the campaign level, but at this point, his deployment was in full swing, and he would not and could not stop halfway unless the situation on the battlefield changed drastically.

One last glance at the blood-red sunset, he entered the sewer, from the side line that required him to turn sideways to the main road, which was taller than an adult and wide enough to pass through a car, and ran some distance back to the branch line, and then entered the drainage pipe that needed to crawl forward, and the speed slowed down, but he kept crawling forward, and in a short time he came to a damp and muddy drainage ditch with a grate on the upper part. Despite the mud stain on his uniform, he continued to crawl forward without hesitation until he came behind his companion and stopped with his head close to his hips. Looking ahead, like rats lining up to steal eggs, a long line of Union soldiers gathered, and looking back, the companions who followed were in place one after another......

The sour smell of the gutters was disgusting, but Weiss and his soldiers had to lie motionless inside, waiting for night to fall, or for the time to attack early. On a nearby hill, at a fork in the road, Norman soldiers were moving from gun emplacements, bunkers, or sentry posts, and when they spoke in slightly louder voices, Weiss and his soldiers could clearly hear the very different way of pronouncing the Ulster. A hundred feet away is the Norman battleship moored in the sports park. Except for the stadium, there are no large buildings, and there are no sewer trunks and branch roads, just capillary drains and drains. Therefore, the Normans' vigilant defense system around the battleship was mainly against threats from the ground and the air, which gave Weiss the only opportunity to take advantage of. Although it is unlikely that this battleship will have artificial star source stone manufacturing equipment on board, it is likely to be the operational command center of the Norman army in Austria, and if the command and communication facilities here can be destroyed, and the command personnel of the Norman army can be killed, wounded or captured, it will definitely be of great benefit to the counterattack of the federal army.

Will the regret of Bella Casser Pass being made up for here?

After deciding on the tactical choice of "fist out", Weiss and a few scouts conducted a risky approach reconnaissance of the sewers in the direction of the stadium, and found that the Normans were not only prepared for the underground infiltration attacks of the Union army, but also the vigilance was not leaky - they stationed soldiers at the sewer turnouts, built bunkers, and even laid machine guns, and those pipes that could crawl through were actually riveted with thumb-thick steel bars. This meant that Weiss's troops could not reach the bottom of the stadium without alerting the Norman army, which looked bad, but there were always two sides to the matter, since the Normans had deployed a vigilant defense force here, they did not need to blow up the passage brutally and directly, and the Union army only had to find a way to break through the Norman guarded defenses, and the Union army had a chance to evacuate the federal soldiers and civilians in the stadium through the sewers.

Based on the experience and lessons learned from the Battle of the Belakaser Pass, Weiss made a proper distribution of the forces in his hands: the most elite combat force was organized into two assault groups, which penetrated the ground guard line of the Norman army from two drainage ditches, and approached the Norman warships in a moored state. The weaker troops were organized into an assault group and a support group, and when Weiss personally led the elite troops to raid the Norman warships, the Norman army on this side of the stadium must send troops to reinforce them, and then the assault group attacked the underground Norman cordon from the west, and the support group followed up, blocking the redundant forks with blasting along the way, leaving only a direct main road to the bottom of the stadium. Theoretically, the passage would allow the federal forces to evacuate the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians trapped in the stadium in a matter of hours, and allow them to withdraw before dawn to the south of the central city, which is currently under the control of the federal forces. After that, what to do with these civilians and disarmed soldiers is a matter for the higher commanders to decide.

Weiss waited patiently in the stinking gutter for more than half an hour, the natural light coming through the grille above gradually diminishing, but it was still some time before it got dark. Suddenly, the sound of artillery in the direction of the central city crumbled, and there was a burst of explosions that made those closest to the ground feel a slight tremor. The artillery fire lasted for about ten minutes, and Weiss heard an exceptionally loud explosion, and the tremors that followed were more intense than ever. If 80 percent of the 3,000 pounds of explosives were used in the ultimate blast designed to bring down August's steel tower, it would be as powerful as the entire main gun salvo of the strongest battleship. Of course, if the Federation army can send a loyal-class battleship with top-level combat power to fly to Aocheng in time, there is no need for the elites of the 4th Special Service Group to blow up the towering skyscrapers that the citizens of the Federation have spent a lot of energy and material resources to build at the cost of nearly total annihilation.

"Herald...... Get ready for action! Weiss lowered his voice and commanded his companions in front of him and behind him.

The Union soldiers, who had honed their skills and sharpened their will in urban guerrilla warfare mode, obeyed Weiss's orders, like a herd of hyenas that found their prey on the snowy fields, narrowed their hungry eyes, tensed their strong legs, bared their sharp teeth, and waited for the leader to roar in attack.

Outside the gutter, some of the Normans were shouting, some were shouting, and some were talking. Weiss closed his eyes and listened...... Ha, August's Iron Mansion collapsed, yes, it fell, Octavier and Rune succeeded, how many Normans were buried without having time to escape from the mansion? Good job! Good job! This is a heavy blow to the Norman army! Since then, they have lost their important vantage points and observation posts on the battlefield of Aocheng, and, for a short time, their attention has been attracted.

This is the moment you are waiting for!

"Attack!" Weiss burst into flames. Despite the heavy grating of the gutter, he easily lifted it up and pushed it a few feet away as if he were pushing it open, and then, while holding the Clumber-Haysen rifle, he squinted at the enemy situation in front of him: from the gutter to the Norman battleship, there were 2 anti-aircraft gun emplacements, 3 machine gun positions, 4 officers, 20+ riflemen, if he could break through this area in 5 minutes, he would have the opportunity to force the ship to board before the Norman crew on the battleship closed the hatch.

Untying the strip of mud wrapped around the sniper scope with one hand, Weiss raised his gun in one second, aimed in another, and knocked down the Norman officer dozens of feet away with the first shot. Then, he stepped out of the drain, pulled the bolt and reloaded, picked up his gun, raised the muzzle, and locked his eyes on the Norman battleship a hundred feet away. On its deck and in its porta, many Norman sailors came out to see the collapse of August's Iron Tower, but what did not want to await them was the hunters who came out of the ground. Weiss's second shot killed an officer on the battleship with unmistakable accuracy, and before the shots fell, he shouted loudly: "Machine gun groups 2, 4, strafe the deck of the enemy ship!" ”

The water-cooled heavy machine gun produced at the Crumberg-Haisen plant is less than one-third of the Grumman retaining machine gun, but its range, rate of fire, and portability are more suitable for close-quarters combat. As soon as the smooth sound of machine guns rang out, a dense rain of bullets immediately poured down on the hapless ghosts on the deck of the Norman battleship. All of a sudden, the Normans on the battleship were crying wolf!
