1139 The onslaught of the old general
"Two imperial concubines? Are you kidding? Crumpling the message into a paper ball, Madias frowned and threw the paper ball at his feet: "Didn't you roast me on the fire?" It's a lot worse than my command being hit. β
After saying that, he looked at General Heidi Kannon beside him: "This is more disgusting than sending a telegram urging us to speed up our attack." β
"What's wrong?" General Heidi Kannon hadn't seen the telegram yet, because it had turned into a ball of paper and tumbled not far away.
"Princess Andrea and Princess Vivien will personally lead their troops to attack the Temple of Wittholands!" Madias replied viciously.
"Shenma?" When Heidi Kanon asked this question, her voice changed. The word can be heard with various meanings such as disbelief and frightening just by listening to the sound.
"Let the troops at the front speed up the attack! No matter what kind of difficulties you encounter! Give me 2 hours to advance to the Witholands Temple! After thinking for a few seconds, Madias took over the command from Heidi Canon.
He had only inspected the position of the First Armored Corps of the Demon Expeditionary Force of the Ellanhill Empire today. Here, he received this telegram that gave him a headache.
So, of course, this routine inspection became the commander of the Irlanhill Imperial Expeditionary Force personally supervising the battle at the front line.
"Order the artillery of the military family, cancel the rest and immediately begin shelling all areas from H to L! Instantly! Right away! Heidi Cannon, who came back to his senses, also quickly opened his mouth and commanded loudly.
"Hey! I'm Madias! Right! Delegate artillery support to the 1st Panzer Corps at Burkelan Fortress! Yes! Yes! Madias grabbed a phone in front of him, and after he was about to get through, he directly opened his mouth and ordered.
"Hey, hey, hey! Yes, it's me! Is it Benana Louis on duty? Let him answer the phone! Yes! Things have changed! Dispatch all the tactical support aircraft you can find, no matter the cost! Attack all the ground targets that can be identified in Witholands! The Air Force liaison officer's hand holding the phone was shaking.
Previously, the Air Force, fearing losses, almost canceled the bombing of Withorans. But this time is different, even if they lose 100 planes at all, this battle must be fully supported!
Even if you fight half of the front-line air force and lose 1,000 pilots, you must end the battle of Withorance before the princess arrives at the front!
Remember that original target of the Air Force? The one who "hit Vivian...... Now it's the other way around, and "protecting Vivien" is a task that the Air Force must complete.
Calls from the front-line command here came and went, and the first artillery on that side had received the task of opening fire had already begun to attack.
The dull but not distant 155 mm self-propelled howitzer began to roar, one shell after another whistling through the sky above the command.
Then, the city of Withollands, which had just fallen silent, was boiling again. It was as if the calm water had suddenly burst into a stormy wave.
"Boom!" A cannonball landed between the ruins of a building, and the rubble tumbled into the air with the explosion, then shattered into more fine stones and sand and fell down as if it were a rain of earth.
And before the falling dirt and rubble fell back to the ground, they were thrown into the air by a new explosion.
The entire land of Wittholands trembled in the explosion, and many large-caliber shells exploded with a power that was no less powerful than an earthquake.
The demon defenders, who were struggling with the explosion of the cannonballs, had no time to breathe a sigh of relief when the dense rockets rained down again.
This time, instead of those damn cluster bombs, the stout rockets carried powerful TNT charges designed to destroy the buildings they hit in one fell swoop.
Hundreds of rockets fell almost simultaneously, which is different from the concept of artillery shells falling. Although the front-line artillery of the Irlanhill Empire has fired more shells than the instantaneous coverage of rockets.
In just an instant, hundreds of explosions erupted throughout the city, shaking the earth and destroying the earth.
Under such a terrifying covering fire, the demon minions in heavy armor swarmed up, killing the demon defenders who were holding on to the fragile defensive line.
These demonic minions were ordered to defeat all the enemies in front of them in a matter of hours, at any cost!
Yes, at any cost! They are no longer alone, behind them, human snipers, mortar units are pressing.
The sudden climax of this attack caught the demon defenders off guard, and they lost their defenses, and in some places there was even a large-scale rout.
Block after block defenders were driven away or eliminated, and the soldiers of the Ellan Hill Empire could even see through the cracks in the ruins the half-collapsed demon temple.
Next to the ruins of the Demon Factory, which has long been unrecognizable, a demon struggles out of the burial of the floating earth. He shook his head and shook the dirt off his head.
Not far away, a Type 99 main battle tank with a remote-controlled weapon station was running over the collapsed factory faΓ§ade, its turret pointing in the direction of the distance, and it was steady and not shaking as it bumped.
The next second, the tank came to a halt abruptly, and then the steady barrel erupted in a blazing flame.
The sound of the cannon shook the demon, who had just crawled out of the rubble, and he hurriedly pulled out his long sword from the dirt next to him, and then struggled to get up, fleeing in the opposite direction.
Because of the cover of the anticline, he turned a collapsed corner and saw a few companions hiding here.
"Great, my lord!" Almost crawling, he climbed in front of an old soldier and asked in a low voice.
"When the shelling started, he told us to hold our ground, and then we never saw him again." The veteran was holding a Mauser 98K rifle and a long sword at his waist, looking rather embarrassed: "I don't know if I ran away or died." β
"That'...... So what do we do? The demon, who had managed to escape, asked nervously.
"What else can I do......" The veteran leaned against the corner of the wall and poked out half of his head to look at the human tank that was showing off his might: "Withdraw!" Go that way down this road, another ruin, there should be our people over there! β
