Chapter 980: Winter battle

"Assemble! Assemble!" A demon officer riding an earth dragon beast walked through the barracks, shouting the order of assembly.

All the soldiers have been dressed neatly, they are assembled in the barracks, arranged in a neat formation.

The dull drums of war came one after another, and all the barracks of the Demon Servants began to become noisy.

Countless soldiers gathered together with long spears and shields, the veterans calmly arranged their armor, and the recruits waited nervously for the orders of the officers.

Just now, all the front-line combat troops of the Ailan Hill Empire have received orders that they must arrive at the designated place at the designated time.

Some troops have even received the order to attack, they have begun to organize their weapons and ammunition, and begin to prepare for the upcoming battle.

"Is this going to attack again?" A demon recruit who had just found his place and was wearing armor with a suitcase and a shield and spear asked his comrades around him nervously.

"Eating so many good things every day, it is indeed time to fight." Another demon soldier said firmly.

In the eyes of these demons, their previous days were simply too easy. Apart from training every day, all that is left is to eat a variety of delicious foods and enjoy a peaceful life.

They couldn't imagine that they could eat warm food every day, as well as hot soup and various breads to choose from.

Even after training, they still have chocolate candies to enjoy this thing, something they have never seen before.

Although they didn't know that these cocoa butter substitutes mixed with various things were not really chocolate, but they were still very satisfied.

In fact, they are very satisfied if they have a fitted armor and can eat a full meal every day.

That’s why they are willing to fight for the Ailan Hill Empire, and that’s why they are willing to loyal to a human emperor...

"I heard that we are going to Waddins this time..." A demon soldier showed off his knowledge.

In fact, it can be seen from his body that these demons and humans are about the same, they are also very gossip, and they are willing to talk boringly about hearsay.

"Fight that far? How many battles are going to be fought on this road..." Hearing this Vadins, a demon soldier immediately felt a little bit lamented.

This Vadins is about 500 kilometers away from the place where they started, but because of the rugged mountain roads, it is estimated that it will take about 1,000 kilometers to travel there.

"How do I know? I guess some of them have been hit. Look at the places that humans let us attack a month ago. Which one is good?" A demon veteran complained reluctantly.

In such cold weather, marching in the wild, even with the excellent logistics support of humans, is not a comfortable thing.

If it is placed in the spring, at least during the march, it is more comfortable. The weather is more comfortable, and you won’t suffer from war.

"Let me say, they are deliberately consuming our demons..." A demon recruit followed bitterly complaining.

But his words were immediately interrupted by a demon: "So what? I didn't hear the trainer say, it is really a punishment for us, but also a test for us! Only the most loyal fighters can be saved."

After all, in the Demon Servants of the Airanhill Empire, the idea of ​​long live the Ailanhill Empire is still very popular.

Most demons are very grateful, and they dare not have any thoughts of resistance. Therefore, there is no market for this kind of complaint, but it is occasionally mentioned by recruits.

"Are you redeemed?" The recruit was still a little unwilling to constrain, and asked directly.

The surrounding demon veterans were no longer willing to talk to him. One of them was somewhat patient and asked, "Didn't you hear that someone has accumulated enough military service and got promoted?"

The recruit was still reluctant: "Have you seen it? They are all heard, everyone has heard of..."

"Shut up! The officer is here!" The veteran behind him sneered and reminded everyone.

Everyone closed their mouths with interest, but the officer who was about to come over seemed to be attracted by something. At the forefront of the team, he squinted and raised his head, looking at the distant sky.

A curious soldier turned his head, and then he was also stunned, as if he had seen something remarkable.

Then, more demon soldiers turned their heads, and more demon soldiers had forgotten their curious original intention of just looking at them.

Their eyes moved slowly following something, until almost all the demons turned their heads and moved their gazes following the things in the sky.

When the recruit who was still complaining just realized something and turned around, he knew why everyone looked like a ghost.

He saw the B-17 bombers of the Allan Hill Imperial Air Force flying past his camp, and at this time he heard the insignificant engine roar.

Ailan Hill's winter offensive kicked off its grand prelude after two days of brewing.

Originally, it took a lot of time to mobilize troops and concentrate materials, but because the Alanhill Empire prepared too much materials, they could attack any point at any time on the front of a generous offensive. Super large-scale blow.

In front of me is all the bombers in the northern part of the Ailan Hill Expeditionary Force. Before the start of the battle, they carried out their first assault bombing on all front-line targets guarded by the devil.

A total of more than 700 b-17 bombers and 200 b-52 bombers were formed together, and the engines roared and crossed the actual control line of both sides.

This spectacular scene made the soldiers of the Demon Servant Army who saw all this with their own eyes, so shocked that they couldn't even speak.

Most of them are also the first time to see the power of human beings so powerful that they tremble all their opponents. That is the power that overrides everything, just like the power of the gods.

At this moment, the demons had only one feeling left to kneel down and worship. They don't have the courage to face such power, because such a coveted power is their belief.

Yes, the previous faith. They used to believe in the origin of magic, in powerful power, in their omnipotence, and in invincibility.

But when they really faced the power, they realized how small they were in the face of absolute power.

Those demons who have seen the atomic bomb explode and survived by chance, know the horror of that kind of power even more.

For people who don’t understand science and don’t know the horror of science, that is the wrath of God, and that is the weapon that God has left in the world!

"Not convinced? Then you can try...experience for yourself..." A demon sneered and sneered at the demon recruit who was looking up at the hundreds of planes flying by with his elbow.

The demons around came back to their senses, and sneered along with it, let's try it! Faced with such power! Conquer it, and then come back to talk about other things!

Things that even the most elite demon troops have not done! Things that even a powerful source of magic can't do! You go try it! idiot!

Think about the despair of those demons who are still fighting for the origin of magic! What kind of mood should they be at this moment?

…

The heavy city walls were covered with heavy snow, and the weather was already cold. The demon soldiers stationed in this castle could only rely on burning wood for heating.

Even if you burn wood, you must be careful not to ignite too many things. Because of the smoke, it will attract fierce shelling!

The shelling of Ailan Hill! Those **** bombs that can explode and can penetrate magical defense barriers fall down like they don't need money, turning the entire castle into hell!

Look here now! Except for the demon soldiers hiding everywhere, it is no different from the ruins.

There were bullet craters everywhere, and collapsed buildings. There are corpses everywhere, and the snow covering the corpses is everywhere.

The broken and collapsed city walls, the not-so-stable wooden stakes, this is the fortification that the demon defenders can rely on! They have been here for 30 days, and the reason for them to persevere is simply that the enemy did not attack!

The humans on the opposite side and the demons who took refuge in the humans did not take the initiative to attack, so they can barely survive the winter here.

If you retreat to the wilderness, the environment will be worse and more people will freeze to death. So reluctantly persisting here is their only way to spend the winter.

Compared with the sufficient supplies of human beings, they have almost nothing, no logistical supplies, no food, no ordnance supplements... even arrows are pitiful.

A demon soldier couldn't stand the cold anymore, stood up to shake off the frost on his body, walked back and forth hoping to warm his body.

After walking two steps back and forth, he saw the western sky, which seemed to be completely covered by dark clouds.

He frowned, his ugly face covered with dry wrinkles. He carefully identified it, and then discovered that those terrifying dark clouds were not real dark clouds, but enemy aircraft!

"Enemy attack!" he shouted loudly, his voice full of fear and despair. After hearing his shouts, many demons struggled to sit up. They lay on the crevices of the broken city wall, watching the human planes approaching in the distance.

As they looked at the fleet of aircraft in the distance, the sound of a huge engine suddenly approached, and two A-10 attack aircraft skimmed over their castle at low altitude, shaking the city walls seemingly trembling.

In the next second, two black spots fell from under the wings of the a-10, and two groups of flames shot straight into the sky in the castle.
