The airship bombing formation took off at dawn, and they lined up in a neat formation among the clouds, like a black cloud, casting shadows on the defense line of the Cangchao army.

The Cang Dynasty observers soon saw the traces of this fleet, and with the experience of the Cang Dynasty army, most of the personnel were soon transferred to underground fortifications and strong fortresses and fortresses.

Dark clouds descended on the sky above the Cangchao position, countless black dots poured down like rain, and explosions that soared into the sky continued to occur. Flying dirt and sandbags, crumbling stones, a scene of chaos.

The Cang Dynasty army had no choice but to huddle underground and in the fortress, praying that they would not be too unlucky.

The artillery units of the coalition also began to attack at this time, firing several volleys, throwing the smoke into the sky.

The explosions died down, and with them came a fleet of other coalition forces, carrying the Legion of the Punisher and the Airborne Force.

The soldiers of the Cang Dynasty quickly came out of their respective places to hide from the bombardment and returned to their combat posts. But they were immediately subjected to machine-gun fire from the steam airship above, and they could not raise their heads for a moment.

Smoke grenades were dropped, and in the thick white smoke, the Heavenly Punisher slowly reached the ground, and with a slight earthquake, the war behemoths immediately attacked all the enemies around them.

Under the cover of the Heavenly Punisher, the first airborne death squads composed of the Rhine Army and the Turin Restoration Army also disembarked from the airship, and after reaching the ground, they redivided into small teams and entered the trenches to fight.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Cang Dynasty troops were attracted by the airborne troops of the coalition forces, the engineer and gunboat units cooperated to build pontoon bridges, and the bridge for infantry to pass was quickly erected, and the first death squads of the coalition army launched an attack.

Light steam-armored locomotives fended off fire in front, and infantry followed behind.

The Cang Dynasty army was not vegetarian either, and their commanders quickly controlled the chaotic situation with their warlords, and then began to arrange soldiers to resist in an orderly manner.

The Cangchao artillery, who thought they would stop for a while, immediately entered their combat posts and began to shell under the strafing fire of the Heavenly Punisher.

The fortress artillery and artillery began to roar, and the river caused a huge splash, and the soldiers on the bridge could fall into the river if they were not careful, so the pontoon bridge could not be passed for the time being, and the gunboat troops had to retreat to avoid the enemy shelling.

Units that had reached the West Bank stood by to consolidate their captured positions, while airborne death squads were parachuted to the ground in the face of a hail of enemy bullets.

Many of the soldiers were killed by the Cang Dynasty soldiers in mid-air, and in a moment, the ropes were dyed blood-red. But because almost all of these airborne troops were Turin people and had a blood feud with the Cang Dynasty, they continued to parachute without fear of death.

After paying great sacrifices, the airborne death squads temporarily captured several trenches, and they began to advance towards the enemy's artillery positions.

In an instant, it turned into a bloody hell. The Airborne Forces carry a large number of weapons used in trench warfare and engage in bloody battles with their enemies. There were no surrenderers on either side, and the battle scene was unusually tragic.

With the onslaught of the Airborne Forces at all costs, the Middle-Turkish Coalition opened the way to the first artillery position with flesh and blood, which they quickly destroyed.

The troops crossing the river were able to continue to build pontoon bridges and transport troops and supplies.

Under the siege, the Heavenly Punisher had to retreat. Despite their devastating firepower and strong armor, they are few in number and are somewhat overwhelmed by attacks from all directions. Many of the Heavenly Punishers have suffered some damage.

Some of the Heavenly Punishers were even hit by fortress shells and turned into a pile of smoking ruins.

The retreat of the Heavenly Punisher made the pressure on the front-line troops increase sharply, and in an instant they changed from the attacking side to the defensive side, and they struggled to resist the decisive assault from the Cang Dynasty army.

The original white scenery has only increased the black and red of large areas.

The Middle-earth coalition forces on the west bank used explosives to blow up several trenches, temporarily disabling the enemy from continuing the offensive. The soldiers on both sides were a little tired, and once again a stalemate ensued.

The coalition forces were constantly building pontoon bridges to drop troops and supplies on the other side. The Cang Dynasty also constantly mobilized troops and supplies from the rear. Both sides are regaining strength.

The noisy battlefield was now all that remained of the crackling of fire burning on steel. The thick smoke is dissipating and being replaced by snowflakes.

。

Rear, inside Frankfork.

Felian Vinoel was urging the technicians to hurry up and debug the secret weapon of the Rothel Kingdom.

This is a weapon that uses an internal combustion engine, which is somewhat similar to the tanks of the South Loya Empire, but due to the limited technological strength, the engineers of the Rothschild Kingdom have not been able to build the kind of vehicle with a main turret. They compensated for the lack of firepower by building multiple gun emplacements.

Each vehicle had four 35 mm guns in the front, rear, left and right, and each side was also equipped with a 12.9 mm gun. At the top is an integrated conning tower with a heavy machine gun as a weapon. To strengthen the assault force, there were also two heavy machine-gun firing windows on the front.

"Your Highness Princess, the chariot unit is ready." The person in charge said to Ferlian Vinoer.

"Very good, after a while, after the large pontoon bridge is repaired, our Rothel Kingdom will be the main attacker of the second attack. I hope they don't let me down. ”

"Rest assured! They won't let you down! ”

"I hope so."

With that, Ferenvilleor walked towards the Snow Wolf Knights' station. As the White Wolf Princess, she will personally drive the Snow Wolf Knight Armor to the battlefield.

。

One after another, Rothel chariots set off from the Rothier army and headed for the pontoon, followed by the Snow Wolf Knights and a Guards force of several thousand men.

The multi-legged mechanical Leviathan I of the Holy Kingdom was too heavy to pass the pontoon. However, the airship unit in charge of the airborne has already begun to load these multi-legged machines.

Rothier's troops quickly crossed the pontoon bridge and entered the western bank positions of the Middle-Turkish coalition forces, and after communicating with the front commanders about the enemy's situation, they began to develop a battle plan.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the offensive from Rothschild began.

The chariot troops began to move forward, suppressing the Cang Dynasty army with vehicle-mounted fire, and a mixed force of snow wolf knights and infantry began to clear the interior of the trenches, then laying iron plates or filling the trenches with straw piles.

In this way, the chariot continued to pass through the gully that would otherwise be impassable. With the urge to crush all obstacles, Rothier's heavily heavy industry-style army advanced slowly but surely, leaving only a messy trench in the rear.

Seeing the opportunity, the Holy Nation forces sent a new type of troops, the Spitfire. Since the flamethrower is still in the experimental stage, it is extremely unstable, and sometimes even if it is not hit by a stray bullet, the spark from the collision can cause an explosion.

So basically, flamethrowers are used by soldiers selected from death squads.

Under the cover of Rothier's army, these people stepped into the fortifications of the fortress group of the Cang Dynasty.

Flames burst out of the firing window, and the soldiers on fire, screaming, ran out of their positions and fell to the ground.

Taking advantage of this chaos, the Middle-earth coalition launched a general attack, and at the commander's whistle, the coalition soldiers began to charge.

Infantry and steam armored knights rushed into the fortifications of the Cang Dynasty's army, while the chariot units cleared the enemy from the outside and suppressed the enemy's fortress fire.

The battle continued until the evening of the day. The Middle-Turkish coalition forces were not able to capture all their positions. But three-quarters of the place has already been occupied by them. The Cang Dynasty army could only retreat to the remaining quarter of the land.

The two sides stopped large-scale fighting, consolidated their positions, treated the wounded, buried the bodies, rested and ate.

All of a sudden, the originally bloody battlefield became quiet, and hot steam replaced the smoke and rose here.

During the night, the two sides continued to bombard and fire at each other. The veterans have become accustomed to this environment and sleep peacefully. The recruits were terrified, clutching their guns at all times.

The next day, the battle began again.

Once again, the Sino-Turkish coalition launched an airborne operation. This kind of combat is very expensive, so it can only be launched again.

The huge Leviathan 1 swarm landed on the battlefield under the cover of fire, and the rest of the troops threw all the strength they had accumulated for the night into the ensuing battle.

Once again, the battle continued for a full day. The stubborn will of the Cang Dynasty army finally allowed them to balance the scales of war, and they held on to the last position, the town of Hazel.

This was the only way to the territory occupied by the Cang Dynasty, and by this time the originally prosperous town had been razed to the ground. Steel wreckage and bloody corpses were everywhere.

The Middle-Turkish forces stopped only a hundred meters from here and built improvised positions. Once you're ready to rest for a while, launch a final assault at night and take the place.

Although the night battle would have required more sacrifices, the Turin Restoration Army had already petitioned/offered to be the vanguard, so the coalition command agreed to the plan of the night attack.

However, at this moment, a message reached the front command from the rear.

The combined patrol fleets of the Kingdom of Rothschild and the Duchy of Gaul exchanged fire with the fleets of the South Loya Empire, which were completely annihilated two days ago, and now the army of the South Loya Empire has landed on the border coast of the Rothsir Kingdom, and the kingdom's supreme lighthouse fortress may have exchanged fire with the enemy.

Faced with this situation, all countries in Middle-earth need to be cautious. After all, he had launched a western expedition before, and I don't know if this time he will have to face a full-scale attack by the Nanluoya Empire or just a temptation of the empire.

The Snow Wolf Knights must be recalled to support the High Lighthouse Fortress, and the Holy Kingdom, as the main initiator of the Western Expedition, has to take on the responsibility of supporting the Kingdom of Rothil against the Southern Loya Empire.

Therefore, after calculating, it was found that after withdrawing the Snow Wolf Knights, the night battle might not be able to achieve victory at a tolerable price, so the coalition forces stopped the winter offensive and turned to a stalemate with the Cang Dynasty.
