Alien Arms Empire

 Chapter 16221623 Central Breakthrough

 A series of rockets covered the carefully camouflaged artillery positions. The artillery deployed on small mounds had a very good range of fire and could cover a considerable area.

Just now, the dwarf artillerymen who learned that the Tang Army was attacking their own front-line defensive positions were preparing to cover their positions with artillery fire, hoping to prevent the Tang Army's attack.

But just when these artillerymen carried their ammunition out of the bunker, they saw those scary Hind helicopters.

Before they could panic, rockets flew towards them, falling from the sky and hitting the dwarf gunners directly in the face.

 Explosions came one after another, and the exploding ammunition and the rockets that landed directly turned the dwarf artillery position into a sea of ​​​​fire.

The surrounding anti-aircraft artillery firepower was sparse and unable to intercept the massacre of these helicopters. In the desperate eyes of the dwarves, the second batch of Tang Army helicopters that arrived slowly descended and opened the side hatch.

The Tang Army soldiers carried in the cabin jumped out and quickly occupied the entire dwarf artillery position under the cover of helicopter fire. They moved very quickly. After occupying these small highlands, they immediately established a circular defense line.

At this moment, the dwarf troops were in chaos, and reports from the Tang army were found everywhere. No one responded to these questions because their command headquarters was still solving their own problems.

The anti-radiation missiles of the Tang Army once again showed their power, greeting the dwarf headquarters at all levels who had gradually relaxed because they had not been attacked recently.

The communication equipment of some headquarters was blown up, and some directly connected to the commanders were turned into bomb craters. Command communications at all levels were almost paralyzed, and the rest were overwhelmed by the massive amount of news.

Electronic interference rendered radio useless, and phone calls became meaningless as the situation changed so quickly. In less than an hour, the Tang army broke through the defense line carefully built by the dwarves for more than 20 days.

Then these Tang troops cooperated with the airborne raiding troops and came to a mercury-filled field: they quickly penetrated and divided and surrounded the dwarf troops without any effort.

Having lost their command and not knowing what happened, the dwarf soldiers who were short of ammunition surrendered to the Tang army in whole companies. Until this time, they did not know the scale of the Tang army's attack.

When they saw an almost endless line of armored vehicles and tanks rolling forward, they realized that the Tang Army was serious about it.

 But what’s the use of knowing it? Their weapons have been surrendered. Now they could only stand on the roadside, staring blankly at the passing Tang vehicles with a pair of frightened eyes.

 For the Tang army, this was a victory march: most Tang soldiers did not even have a chance to fire a shot, and the battle had turned into a racing competition.

 Everyone is rushing forward, hoping to get some useful military exploits before it gets dark. Battlefield discipline is no longer even that important, and some soldiers even do things that are expressly prohibited.

 In order to run fast enough, the light vehicle rushed in front of the heavy vehicle. Those veterans from Qin no longer cared about the danger. This time they finally felt the speed of Tang-style operations.

 In the past, they were all chased and defeated by the Tang army. Now the roles have changed, and they have become the hunters who chased others.    The killing time has begun! In order to rush to the front quickly, some Qin soldiers were even willing to lie on the roof of the car and advance. This dangerous behavior obviously violated the battlefield discipline of the Tang army.

The tactic of dropping aircraft to the enemy's rear was also thought up by Ying'an under the inspiration of Tang Guo's chief of staff. In his opinion, such a good tactic must be used... As for the possible losses, he didn't care at all.

 Just kidding, Datang...or Qin soldiers are not afraid of those casualties at all. As long as they can win, Ying'an doesn't think losing thousands of people is a big deal.

The Qin people were defeated by the Tang army because they could not see the hope of victory. Now it was a favorable situation. At this time, no one gave up a good opportunity to win military glory because they were afraid of death.

 Why were the people of Qin happy when they heard about the war? Isn’t it because you win more when you fight? Who would be crazy and willing to fight if they lose often...

The battle that was originally thought to last for a few days was immediately decided. The Tang army exceeded its opponent several times in terms of ammunition delivery alone. When the coalition forces thought they had a numerical advantage, they were crushed by the Tang army's firepower.

In just half an hour, the Tang Army fired thousands of artillery shells and rockets, and launched hundreds of missiles, which directly stunned the dwarf 8th Army, which had just received reinforcements and had recovered somewhat.

Hundreds of tanks that were too late to react were turned into scrap metal. Hundreds of anti-aircraft guns and howitzers became trophies of the Tang army. Thousands of soldiers were killed. The remaining defeated soldiers either surrendered or stayed there to die.

When these things happened, Truman, the commander of the dwarf 8th Army, could not even mobilize his guard troops. He knew that the Tang army had begun to attack, but he knew nothing about other issues.

He didn’t know how many people the Tang Army had dispatched, or which of his positions they were attacking, let alone where the opponent had already attacked. He didn’t even know if his own headquarters was being targeted!

 That’s right, he doesn’t even know if his headquarters is safe! Because there was news that his headquarters had been attacked, Truman, who was inspecting outside, did not dare to go back, so he had to find a temporary headquarters to dispatch troops.

 Unfortunately, due to the communication breakdown, he could not find his troops at all, so he could only let the troops he could contact fight on their own, barely maintaining the chaotic situation.

This is how a racing action began. On the first day of the Star Project, the 11th Army of the Tang Empire split the coalition's defense line from the middle. The 8th Dwarf Army was completely in disarray and was almost split in two by the Tang Army's front.

 Truman tried his best to stabilize his position at the last moment—or rather, the 7th Army behind him helped him stabilize his position.

Because they were worried about being threatened on both flanks and because the troops needed to stop for supplies, after storming forward for more than 70 kilometers, the Tang army switched to defense in the afternoon.

Then the 11th Army sent its own "reconnaissance troops" to the left and right. This reconnaissance did not matter. They directly detected two dwarf infantry divisions... The dwarf infantry who had no time to retreat surrendered in large numbers. About 20,000 people became Tang Army reconnaissance troops. Prisoners of the troops.

　　Including the battle resumption during the morning advance, the 11th Army captured nearly 40,000 dwarf troops in one day, basically crippling the dwarf 8th Army.
