Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 1586 Chapter 1587 The street intersection from which you can never return

Stepping on gravel, Moss walked among the ruins of the city. He could vaguely remember the original appearance of these places, but now these familiar places were completely different from what he remembered.

All the windows in the originally beautiful building seemed to have been damaged, and soldiers resting against the wall could be vaguely seen in the dark corners.

The Tang army's night attack was too sharp, so the dwarf soldiers could only sleep in batches. Enough soldiers were left to guard the position every day and fight the Tang army day and night.

Under such high-intensity fighting, the dwarf soldiers were very tired. They did not get a good rest or sufficient supplies, and their physical strength was severely exhausted.

Looking at the soldiers sleeping soundly in the corner with their arms tilted and their heads tilted, Moss felt an indescribable pain in his heart.

His carefully laid out steel fortresses did not play their intended role at all. Those coastal defense zones that cost huge sums of money to build almost fell within a few days.

Those **** Tang people didn't know what kind of magic they used to destroy the biggest barrier of the dwarves, so that now, the dwarf troops can only rely on hastily built fortifications to deal with the Tang people.

At the street entrance, a howitzer was set up in the middle of the road, with sandbags piled around it, forming a seemingly solid barricade. There were many dwarves around who were using various junks to build stronger defenses, trying to stop the Tang army's attack.

They placed a bombed car aside and piled some furniture and other debris behind the car. The dwarf company commander commanding here saw the guard troops of the High Command and looked at these "elites" curiously.

To be honest, there are not many elite dwarf troops equipped with submachine guns. Obviously, only the security troops of the headquarters can have such luxurious configurations.

As long as the Tang army came along the road, they could easily destroy the obstacles blocking the road. Then the dwarf soldiers behind these obstacles would become targets and be killed one by one by the Tang army.

“They don’t even have an anti-tank gun, just a 75mm howitzer.” After Moss walked through the position, he complained to the officer following him.

 But he knew he shouldn't say anything, because the soldiers here had done their best. This was all they could find, and the army's logistics troops couldn't even find an anti-tank gun to support these brave warriors.

 The two troops passed by each other silently, with no communication between them. It was obviously not appropriate to ask for the other party's number at this time, and the security forces guarding Moss obviously had no time for small talk.

However, Moss, who was walking in the middle of the team, still saw this half-completed position. In his opinion, it was simply an unqualified facility.

Looking at these soldiers with submachine guns, backpacks and helmets, several soldiers who were working also stopped what they were doing.

The officer sighed awkwardly and explained a few words to his general: "General, our logistics are in a mess. I heard that the anti-tank rocket launchers have been used up long ago, and the same goes for the anti-tank guns..."

He actually didn’t know the details. He just heard that the warehouse was bombed and that some of the individual anti-tank weapons such as rocket launchers that were rescued were used up within a few days.

I don’t know how the frontline troops use it. Anyway, everyone is applying for such anti-tank weapons, and the little they have in stock has been exhausted in less than two days. As for anti-tank guns... the dwarves actually have a lot of them, but most of them are used as fixed firepower points and placed in permanent defense fortifications - yes, they are all deployed inside the steel barriers.

Those artillery pieces have now become the trophies of the Tang army. Most of them have been captured, a few have been destroyed, and there are really only a few left in Yongdong Port.

Most of these artillery pieces were still deployed as firepower points in defensive positions on the outskirts, and have now been destroyed.

The few gates that were lucky enough to return to the city are treasures in the hands of various troops, and they dare not waste them easily. You know, this thing is their only cutting-edge weapon that can penetrate the Tang Army's armored vehicles.

 Moss didn't say anything. He just remained silent for a while, took one last look at the position he passed, then raised his legs and continued to move towards the destination.

He knew that if he left like this, he would probably never return to this place, but he still left without looking back or leaving any orders or anything like that.

In the position behind Moss, the dwarf soldiers saw off the senior generals and officers and the guardsmen carrying submachine guns, and then began the complicated work at hand.

 They must improve their positions as much as possible so that they can survive longer in the attack of the Tang army. Several dwarf soldiers took out the ammunition box from the nearby ruins and pried open the lid to reveal the cannonballs inside.

These small-caliber howitzer shells were neatly stacked in wooden boxes. The dwarf artillerymen checked the loading of these shells one by one, and then used tools to unscrew the safety in front of the shells.

The infantrymen on the side were also sorting out their ammunition. They distributed bullets to each soldier, followed by a grenade for each person.

These supplies have just been delivered, and they also include today’s food rations: including a piece of bread that can be used as a heart shield, some dried fish, some special sauces from the Ice Empire, and some multigrain biscuits.

This has been almost the standard food configuration for dwarf soldiers in the past two days. It is almost the same as one meal. The soldiers need to find the rest by themselves and use their imagination to fill it up in the ruins of Everwinter City. Stomach stuff.

In fact, it basically tells the soldiers that they can loot at will: rummage through the ruins, go in and look at the rooms when they come across them, and if there are civilians inside, take food from the civilians; if not, take it from the dead. Take some food out of your mouth...

Such behavior made the civilians in Yongdong City dislike their soldiers even more. On the contrary, the Tang army's attitude towards prisoners and civilians became more regal.

 They gathered civilians together and then provided fixed food in fixed areas so that these people could maintain a basic life.

Such an arrangement also allows civilians receiving food to only move around the food distribution area, which ensures that most of the Tang army can fight boldly in the operational theater.
