As Zhang Shixin and most of the high-ranking leaders of the alliance between the two countries expected, the Principality Alliance was only a month or two after a month or two of recuperation, and it could not resist the large-scale attack of the Grunshire army.

After only half a month, even with the support of the Northern Legion of the Kingdom of Capani in the later period, it could only barely maintain the expected second defensive front, and the coalition forces of the principality were almost defeated in this war.

Fortunately, the remaining main force can hold out for a few days, waiting for more reinforcements to arrive.

…………………………………………………… Dividing line .........................................................

"Your Majesty, the Kapani Army has joined the fray, and we can now use this excuse to declare war on the other side. It's just that the country hasn't officially replied to us yet, and I guess the other side still wants us to completely win the Principality Alliance before declaring war on the Kapani Kingdom and the Gultoka Empire. "A minister of the Grunshire Empire told the news he had received and his own reasoning.

"Hmph, what I care about is not a single Capani Kingdom and the Duchy Alliance, if it weren't for that old guy from the Gultoka Empire actually forming an alliance with the Kapani Kingdom, then I wouldn't have to be so passive and wait for the reply of the Hilton gang." On his throne, a middle-aged man roared fiercely.

"Your Majesty, since things have come to this point, what should be the next plan of action for our troops?" Another minister asked his sovereign.

"Storm the opponent's defensive front, and before the second batch of reinforcements from the other side is likely to arrive, we must occupy those port cities and prevent the other side from carrying out sea transportation. But if our naval forces encounter the main forces of the opposing navy, let them monitor them from a distance. On land, the supporting Kapani army was not enough, and the army of the Gultoka Empire could not make a major move that could change the tide of the war in a single month. The middle-aged man thought about it and made a decision.

From his words, the ministers understood that the other side had placed the key points of the battle in several port towns in the northwest of the Principality Alliance.

For this, many of them are clear about the key points.

Just as Zhang Shixin focused on these cities, both sides were well aware of the extent to which these towns would affect the battle situation.

However, what is a little different is that Zhang Shixin and the alliance between the two countries focused on gathering a considerable number of troops in these cities to form an effective defensive line, delaying the advance of the Glenshire army and buying as much time as possible for the subsequent troop movement.

This is the classic space-for-time tactic.

However, on the contrary, the Grunshire army also hoped to use these cities to block the effective maritime assistance of the Gultoka Empire, and then further create an extremely favorable combat environment with the difficulty of mobilizing troops by land in the alliance between the two countries.

Their intention was to seize the opponent's preparation time with a fierce offensive.

Under this premise, the front-line army of the Glenshire Empire intensified its attack on the second front with the opposing city as the center.

A few days later, one port after another was engulfed in hard street fighting.

…………………………………………………… Dividing line ......................................................

"......" Zhang Shixin looked through his binoculars at the port city in front of him that was caught in the sound of cannons, and at the same time thought about the commander of the Second Transport Detachment, Kapan Wellington, a vice admiral of the Gultoka Empire, who walked to his side, and conveyed the inquiry of Vice Admiral André Yeres, commander of the Fourth Heavy Escort Formation of the Gurtoka Empire's North Sea Fleet, who was responsible for escorting them:

"Lord Duke, what can we do now?"

What can I do? Zhang Shixin didn't look at what happened in this port, and it seemed that there was no better choice......

That is, to force a landing while the port is still in the hands of friendly forces.

It's just that Zhang Shixin took a look at the bombed port area, and he could imagine that without spending some effort, his main tank force would not think about landing.

Especially the tiger style and tiger p, which are so heavy and damn things.

Rear Admiral Kapan quickly conveyed Zhang Shixin's opinion to Vice Admiral Andrei, and as a result, several large warships of the Fourth Heavy Escort Formation stayed on the sea one after another, while more than a dozen small and medium-sized warships escorted the convoy transporting members of the Elven Dragon Security Company headed by Zhang Shixin and forcibly landed.

However, the closer they got to the port, where most of the facilities were destroyed, the warships of greater tonnage had to stop, and in the end, only six destroyers of small tonnage escorted up to 30 transports into the port area.

The large boarding bridges on the sides of several transport ships were lowered, and then a large number of engineering units wearing the uniforms of the Elven Dragon Security Company carried out simple emergency repair work on several causeways that were not particularly badly damaged, under the cover of the newly established landing assault troops.

These two forces are not the armed forces summoned by Zhang Shixin, but the Gultoka Empire has found a leader and incorporated into Zhang Shixin's Immortal Dragon Security Company's marines and engineer units.

Zhang Shixin could only laugh at this......

Now it seems that these people are still very qualified.

As he watched these men work from the bridge, he glanced through his binoculars at a large elven dragon icon on their epaulettes and a small vulture mark in the upper left corner, indicating that these people were troops from the Gultoka Empire.

At the same time, he also thought that among his subordinates there were three identification epaulettes that were different from those of the summoners:

The epaulettes of the summoners are a white elven dragon mark and no other subsidiary markers, which also means that these people are Zhang Shixin's direct troops, led by officers such as Oban and others, mainly responsible for the operation of armored troops.

The mercenaries of the Kingdom of Capani have an extra unicorn symbol in the upper left corner of the epaulette, which is also the unanimous conclusion reached by the officers of the King of Capani nationality led by Fire, who are mainly responsible for the combat establishment of light armored units, such as armored vehicles and attached mechanized infantry.

It is worth mentioning that they seem to have the largest number of them among Zhang Shixin's Elven Dragon Security Company, which is also directly due to the expansion of the army of Fei Lei and others who are still in Zhang Shixin's fiefdom......

Well, Zhang Shixin should be worried about the equipment of these troops.

The insignia of King Hellington's national unit is a light green HLD letter, which is a shorthand for the three characters of Helrington.

This force is mainly derived from the troops that Leni brought with him in the first place, as well as the elite soldiers who were willing to join in the battle of Capani City.

After deliberation, several of their leaders decided to use alphabetic markings to divide the ownership of their units.

Zhang Shixin didn't have much to say, so he had to rely on their own wishes.

Again, they are mainly lightly armored mechanized units.

Unlike the troops from which Kapani originated, their equipment Zhang Shixin had already been prepared.

As for the eastern troops led by Zhao Feilin and Liu Hu, they also went through a series of fierce quarrels when they established the logo, and in the end, it was the old man named Li Fu who made the final decision - the upper left corner of the elven dragon was a malnourished four-clawed lizard...... Ahem, it's a four-clawed golden dragon.

Zhang Shixin naturally knew what the four-clawed golden dragon meant, and he was not very willing to take such a sign. It's just that he really can't resist Li Fu, who is eloquent, and finally has to let them watch it themselves......

In fact, Zhang Shixin wanted to spit out: "Don't you all know that the tree is a big wind?" ”

But he didn't say it, after all, isn't it a bit shocking to talk like this?

The Eastern Forces are also a lightly armored mechanized force, but unlike the other two units, these men are more proficient in close combat than in concert.

"If you have time, it seems that Strall will have to train them well in this area of combat demand...... These people are not so much an army, but more like a killer army......" This is Zhang Shixin's evaluation and decision of the Eastern Army.

As for the soldiers of the Gultoka Empire, as Zhang Shixin saw, they were mainly sappers and members of the Marine Corps.

It's just that, on the other hand, on the general military banner of Zhang Shixin's Elven Dragon Security Company, on the right side of the unicorn, there is an extra vulture with a sword on its feet

Corresponding to the expansion of the troops, Zhang Shixin secretly upgraded the armored vehicles of the troops.

The new SDKFZ-300M all-tracked armored vehicle has better defense than its predecessor and can be modified with more dynamic modifications.

For example, the machine gun position on the roof of the car can be equipped with a new 20mm-MK120S-L110 rotary tube aviation cannon, or it can also be replaced with M2 heavy machine guns, MG-34/MG-42 general-purpose machine guns and other weapons.

It's just that because the bomb load of the turn-tube aviation cannon is not much, and the surname of the MG-42 is not as good as the MG-34 in some aspects, Zhang Shixin adopts a small number of SDKFZ-300M full-track armored vehicles equipped with a new 20mm-MK120S-L110 turn-tube aviation cannon, and other armored vehicles use MG-34 general-purpose machine guns and M2 heavy machine guns for mix-and-match.

As for the tank, Zhang Shixin also made corresponding improvements, although only some insignificant improvements.

……

"Lord Duke, we have called the defenders many times with the public code, but we have not received a reply, what should we do now?" A naval lieutenant of Gultokati [***] reported the situation to Zhang Shixin.

"......" Zhang Shixin pondered for a moment, thinking about what was the reason for not getting a return.

He thought of two most likely scenarios:

One is that the defenders have been completely wiped out, or the defenders have reached the point where they cannot recover.

The second is that the defenders have fled, including King Capani[***]......

"That's not a good sign, it seems ......" Zhang Shixin shook his head slightly, and then shouted loudly: "When the causeway is repaired enough to land armored troops, the No. 4 'Leopard G' equipped type will build a temporary defense line on the perimeter of the port with armored vehicles and assault troops." Then ......"

Zhang Shixin didn't want to say that, he naturally knew that there was a difference between the naval shelling and the self-propelled artillery shelling.

The naval warships sent by the Gultoka Empire to support this time have two heavy naval guns with a main gun caliber of 420mm. Even if due to some factors, the lethality of 420mm caliber shells is not as powerful as the German 380mm caliber main gun in Zhang Shixin's previous life, but it is not far behind......

But he had no choice......

"Let the naval forces provide fire support to the town at any time!" Zhang Shixin finally said this sentence.

If there really needs to be a battle in the town, then ...... There's a good chance that after tomorrow, Gtorriff will be full of visible ruins.

But he knew that it was also impractical to expect his troops to hold the city, but the fleet would not stay long, and they would have to escort the transports back to the Gultoka Empire to transport a batch of troops again.

Despite this......

"......" Zhang Shixin looked at the town in front of him silently, and could only secretly say sorry.

With the No. 4 "Leopard G" equipped with armored skirts on the side and a considerable number of mechanized troops rushing from the temporarily repaired causeway to the town area, Zhang Shixin didn't know if he could hold the port.

Although the other forces of the Gultoka Empire have also reported from other places that they have held the port area and are engaged in a fierce battle with the Glen Shire army.

Zhang Shixin knew that he was also a little impulsive in his battle arrangement this time, which was also related to the fact that he did not expect the enemy to advance so quickly. But after all, he was the one who came up with this battle plan, and he also had an unshirkable responsibility in this regard.

Even the last port town lost contact with the defenders, and the situation in other areas can be imagined......

"Still negligent......" Zhang Shixin knew very well that if he wanted to get the next support, it would probably take at least three days, and perhaps some people in the Glenshire army also noticed that these seaports were important to the alliance between the two countries before stepping up the offensive.

……

In fact, Zhang Shixin's speculation was not too far from the facts, the defenders of Gtoriv, including the garrison battalion originally stationed in the port and the mechanized infantry brigade of King Capani [***] stationed here, totaling about a division, after holding out for three days, fought to the death with at least one armored corps of Grenshire's army in the outer positions of Gtoriv, and almost completely annihilated......

And just as the last Leopard G tank No. 4 appeared into the defensive position on the outskirts of the port, the last defender pulled a grenade and detonated the shell pile......

Half an hour later, when the information that a No. 4 "Leopard G" equipment on the left side of the port defense line fed back the information of the appearance of the enemy to the tactical map in Zhang Shixin's mind, he was already in a Tiger P tank......

As the No. 4 Leopard G gear began firing at a GLT-33 Viper II medium tank of the Glenshire Army;

The sound of firing from giant caliber naval guns was constantly heard in the sky......

This is accompanied by the sound of tanks or armored vehicles being hit and then exploding......

A salvo of 30 self-propelled guns (12 self-propelled guns each for the Wild Bee and Panther, and 6 self-propelled guns for the GW Tiger P/170mm) were fired......

Immediately there were trails in the sky that flew by like meteors......

Zhang Shixin sat in the captain's seat of the Tiger P tank and knew that the battle that belonged to him had begun......

ps: There's only one chapter today.,Sorry.,Maybe there's a lot more time after the 20th.。 Let's add the word count when the time comes.
