Chapter 193: Reinforcements

There was chaos in the headquarters of the 9th Army Group, and the rain outside the window hit the bright glass, making everyone in the room restless.

A staff officer pointed at the specific location on the carefully arranged sand table and reported to Cape Luna, who was standing aside: "His Royal Highness, the defense line of the 2nd regiment of the 9th Division was breached by the devil..."

"The latest news sent just now. Within hours of the enemy's offensive, we lost almost 300 soldiers!" A communications officer handed the documents in his hand to the Chief of Staff Alfred who was on the sidelines and reported. .

"The weather has been very bad in recent days, and the air force's reconnaissance effect is very poor, so we don't have enough control over the actions of the devil..." The air force liaison officer is explaining why the air force knows nothing about the demon's upcoming attack.

Alfred also understands this situation very well: "There is nothing to say, the air force reconnaissance cannot be carried out, and the ground reconnaissance cannot be expanded...After all, when facing the demon of moving speed, approaching reconnaissance is very risky."

After all, there are not many troops that dare to go deep into the demon-controlled area for investigation, and the small units entering the demon-occupied area are basically in a state where meat buns and dogs have never returned. It has to be said that in small-scale battles, those demons who rely on their physical strength to fight have a unique and huge advantage.

They can easily bypass the human reconnaissance squad, then enclose a huge encirclement, and then attack at the same time to annihilate the human reconnaissance force.

There was an air force's reconnaissance before, and the Ailan Hill troops didn't feel that their reconnaissance was restricted, but when the rainy weather came, things became a little beyond everyone's estimate.

"So, for us, this attack was sudden." The staff officer who pointed at the position of the 2nd Regiment of the 9th Division with a pointer, watched everyone not speak, and concluded his speech.

General Alfred said anxiously to Cape Luna: "They used the weather to get close to our forward position...the number is huge, and the 9th Division's defense line may not be able to keep..."

The artillery commander of the group army on the side glanced at Luna, who had an ugly face, and added: "We are thinking of ways to reinforce...because the rocket artillery unit has been transferred away...they are now in Larmer, and they can’t quench their thirst ..."

The air force liaison officer continued with a little embarrassment: "What's even worse is the news from the weather monitoring force. They said that the last two days have been rainy and the air force has basically been unable to take off! The bomber units have no way to enter the theater, and we can't. The bombing cuts off the enemy’s subsequent reinforcements."

Cape Luna put one hand on his chest, the elbow of the other arm was placed on the arm, and he thought for a while against his chin, and gave the order: "Let the heavy artillery force reinforce the 9th Division, and the 9th Division's tank troops will be assembled. , Immediately counterattack the demons on the flanks! Compress their attack area!"

"I am a little worried. If these demons penetrate our defense line... we will lose Alan and the nearby forward supply base." Looking at Cape Luna, General Alfred reminded.

"Then it's troublesome! We are hoarding a lot of ammunition there! These supplies can't be given up! So we must have Alan in our hands!" Luna was also a little unhappy about losing her supplies.

Because the demon forces often fight back on a large scale, the supply materials of the group army are stored close to the front line. In order to prevent the frontline troops from running out of ammunition without time for replenishment, many ammunition supply bases are only about one or two kilometers away from the frontline.

But in this way, after the opponent counterattacked and broke through the line of defense, these supply depots would also be lost. This was undoubtedly a huge blow to the 9th Army, which had insufficient supplies.

You should know that most of these supplies were transported from the Veronza area to Gricken, only the capacity consumed on the road, which made these ammunition too expensive to make people want to cry.

For every bullet lost in Gricken, it is enough to produce five bullets in the hinterland of Ailan Hill. Because of this, Cape Luna couldn't bear to throw those ammunition to the devil. It was really hard to send expensive strategic materials near the front line.

At this moment, an armored officer in the corner stood up holding his helmet and asked softly: "Your Highness. Why, let's try it?"

"Can the dragon knight fight in the rain?" Cape Luna was also taken aback when seeing this officer, and asked subconsciously.

"Although we are not suitable for fighting on rainy days, we can at least take off, can't we?" The officer squeezed out a little embarrassed smile and replied.

Although their dragons are reluctant to fly in the rain, at least they can fly and reach the front line. They can also use their flying characteristics to maintain a certain combat effectiveness and support frontline operations.

This is already a very effective air support for front-line troops that are in urgent need of reinforcements.

Moreover, when he stood up at this time, it actually had a symbolic meaning. For a long time, Ailan Hill's magic forces and industrial forces have been fighting separately, and seldom cooperated in tactics.

Except for the dragon knight troops in the previous reinforcement paratrooper battles, the battle magic troops behind have always been supporting and supporting roles.

Now, there is finally such an opportunity for the magic troop to go to the battlefield as a rescue friend. This is very important to the magician class of Veronza, which means that they are willing to let go of grievances, and sincerely regard themselves as Elan Hillers and recognize their identity.

Since they are willing to throw an olive branch at this time, Cape Luna is also willing to take over this favor. She knows that Ailan Hill's national policy is leaning towards the concept of "equality of all beings", and she is willing to support this established national policy that sounds more inclusive.

A pair of beautiful eyes glanced at the Dragon Knight Commander who was holding a helmet and armor. Cape Luna nodded and agreed to the other party's request: "Yes, please participate in the battle as much as possible and block the demon ground forces as much as possible. I need time to reinforce the 9th Division, about 5 hours."

"Yes! Your Highness!" The general leaned slightly, and then resolutely walked out of the command post and walked into the rain.

Cape Luna looked away from the opponent's back, looked at the chief of staff next to General Alfred, and ordered: "In addition, send a telegram to the 9th Division to inform them that the devil has counterattacked. They prepare for battle, beware of demons!"

"Yes! Your Excellency Commander!" Alfred admired Luna's ability to bring everyone around him together to fight shoulder to shoulder. He felt that Luna seemed to have a halo of calling, which could convince everyone around him. Fight for her.

In the heavy rain, the middle-aged commander wearing a helmet climbed onto the back of the dragon. He took the slender rein and turned his head to look at his men.

"Gentlemen! Today, we are fighting for those who have been oppressed by us, who have been weak! This is the honor we deserve! This is the dignity of our strong! Bullying the weak is not what we want! Protecting the weak , Is what the real powerhouse should do! For Ailan Hill!" He pulled the reins, loudly inspiring his subordinates.

In his shout, under the dense raindrops, under the cold visor, a pair of eyes bloomed with pride.

The neatly lined soldiers turned over and stepped onto the back of the dragon, and at the same time they shouted waves from wave to wave: "For Ailan Hill! For Your Majesty!"

"Huh!" Waved away the dense rain, the huge dragon wings stretched out in the sky, and the leading dragon rose into the sky, facing the raindrops falling from the sky, and rose into the air.

Following this giant dragon into the sky, one after another giant dragons, these dragon knights fluttered in the rain, and gathered into a huge formation in the sky.

On the lawn of the field airfield, fighter planes covered with canvas were docked next to each other. The ground crew looked up at the sky on the edge of the tent, watching these huge dragon knights fly over their heads, feeling indescribable. complex.

This sky has always been ruled by Ailan Hill’s fighter forces, and in such a bad weather, the enemies who were rubbed on the ground by them have become comrades in the air to protect their airspace. It really feels like... …Unspeakable unwilling.

"This **** rain... hurry up and stop!" A ground crew member retracted his head in annoyance and looked at his colleagues: "When the weather improves, immediately let all the planes be restored. The state of being dispatched at any time!"

"Don't worry! When the weather improves, there will be no more enemies in the sky!" Another ground crew member bitterly vented his dissatisfaction.

Outside, the rain seemed to be heavier, and the battle on the front line of the 9th Division became more fierce.

After a desperate hand-to-hand battle, the Ailan Hill grenadiers finally lost their second line of defense. They left hundreds of mutilated bodies here and retreated to the third line of defense unwillingly.

The demon's attack is far from stopping. They still have an absolute advantage in numbers, braving the intensive artillery fire of Ailan Hill, and constantly impacting the already shaky human defense line.

The battlefield was full of explosions, muddy craters everywhere, wrecked tanks everywhere, and demonic corpses everywhere.

Amidst these devastating scenes, a magical tank retreated behind its own line of defense. The light on the magic inscription disappeared, and the people inside opened the hatch above their heads.

Ryan poked his head out and shouted at the logistics soldier in front of him: "Ammunition! Quickly replenish me ammunition!" —
