Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 16541655 Increasing supply pressure

In Benn, the Tang Army-occupied area in the Eastern Continent, Xiao Yun was chatting with his subordinates about aerial bombs in the high command of the Tang Army’s frontline air force.

"We are trying our best to use up the unguided munitions we have accumulated in the past. They are used anyway. There is no problem in using those cheap bombs first." His staff explained why Ares bombers have always carried out conventional bombing missions recently.

The first reason is that the God of War, which has a longer range, is not good at throwing precision-guided munitions. The second reason is that the Tang Army really has too many ordinary aerial bombs in its hands.

"Will it affect the strike efficiency?" Xiao Yun didn't mind using outdated bombs. Anyway, these bombs can explode and have a strong killing effect.

However, he is worried that such World War II-level carpet bombing will not be as efficient as precision strikes and will waste many opportunities for aircraft dispatches.

The subordinate explained: "There will definitely be some impact, but large-scale bombing is more shocking and has a greater impact on the enemy's morale."

In fact, they also want to invest more Intruder attack aircraft and drop more precision-guided munitions as soon as possible, but the problem is that the main battlefield of the Army is in the coastal Saint-Lô area, and there is nothing too big on the 11th and 9th Group Armies. Big moves.

If the battle line does not continue to push south, the airport cannot be closer to Ironforge. In this case, God of War and Ying Long are obviously still the best pair.

Xiao Yun, who wanted to quickly use up all the outdated ammunition in his hands, asked: "How many times can the existing ammunition be enough for our bombers?"

“If the scale of sea transportation continues to expand, it will probably take at least dozens of times to consume all the aerial bombs we have accumulated.” The subordinate replied a little embarrassed.

 The terrifying production capacity of Datang Group can fully support the consumption on the front line. If production is run at full capacity, it is very likely that more and more materials will be used on the front line.

Hearing that there were still so many ordinary aerial bombs, Xiao Yun smiled bitterly and sighed: "We really haven't lost production."

The staff officer shrugged his shoulders: "Many of them were mass-produced before the war against Qin. There was no way, the technology was not mature at that time, so the production was still based on ordinary aerial bombs."

 They dispatched reconnaissance planes and satellites to confirm the results of the bombing of Ironforge these days. No matter from which direction, these bombings were very successful.

Although the bombing routine used by the Tang Army is still at the level of World War II, the accuracy has still to be improved a little after so many years of technical development.

 A large number of bombs have fallen into the dwarven industrial area, and it is obvious that the dwarven industrial production has almost come to a standstill.

The chimneys that used to emit black smoke day and night are now almost invisible, and many factories have been completely destroyed and have lost their production capacity.

Judging from various photos, the dwarves are relocating their factories. As for how effective such relocation will be, that is another question.

 …

Marshal Flix looked at his loss report with a sad face, and no longer knew what to say. The Tang Army's bombing also affected him, and most of the supplies promised by the dwarves were actually unable to be supplied. The dispatch of many supplies was delayed because transportation lines were cut off by bombings, and more and more supplies were directly crossed off the supply list because they could not be produced.

 Although ammunition cannot be used interchangeably between the two countries, there are still many other materials that can be mixed and used. For example, gauze bandages, medicines, canned food, etc.

If the dwarves can provide these supplies, then the elves can concentrate on transporting ammunition from the rear, which will reduce the pressure on logistical supplies.

 However, with transportation paralyzed and production capacity reduced sharply, the dwarves were able to provide less and less supplies, and the elves had to transport more supplies from their own homes, which obviously occupied the ammunition transportation capacity.

“A lot of medicine has been consumed again, and I don’t know when the supplies will come... When will this kind of thing end.” He sighed and threw the document on the table.

The first batch of Dornish reinforcements have passed by Lions and arrived in Sussus. These troops are still waiting to pass by the Yangmu Empire and enter the Ice Empire to join the war.

In addition, the Susus Empire troops that have already participated in the war also need supplies. Although these light infantry have average combat effectiveness and the total amount of supplies they require is not large, they are still hundreds of thousands of people after all. Food, drink, and diarrhea are a huge expense every day. .

Flix didn't see the role of his own strength advantage at all. He only saw the huge amount of supplies consumed by several group armies every day, which brought unprecedented pressure to the entire logistics and transportation.

Transporting troops requires capacity, as does transporting ammunition, replenishing equipment, and transporting supplies... Now the roads are paralyzed, the troops transporting supplies are being bombed, and the hundreds of thousands of troops on the front line have simply become a joke.

Due to insufficient supplies, these troops cannot even exert one-tenth of their combat effectiveness! Under the interference and attack of the Tang army, they were no different from fools.

As the frontline commander of the coalition forces, the only thing Marshal Flix has to read every day is the loss report: thousands of casualties a day, but he can't even touch the edge of the Tang Army's position. This kind of thing has been going on for several days. Oh my god.

“Marshal! I just received a telegram from Ironforge.”

　　"Huh?" Taking the telegram from the other party's hand, Flix saw another piece of bad news that annoyed him: Ironforge was bombed again.

The last time Ironforge was bombed, he couldn't wait for the cement, steel bars and other materials needed to build fortifications. This time, the telegram said that they might not even be able to provide bandages or the like.

“What a bunch of losers! Idiots! We actually fought with such a bunch of stupid pigs for so long!” Felix gritted his teeth in hatred and crumpled the message into a ball.

  The message said that the dwarves are looking for ways to transport equipment to the south to rebuild industrial production capacity, but this process takes a lot of time. Now the consumption on the front line can only rely on reserves.

 The problem is...Flix has no so-called inventory reserves at all! His troops have just entered the vicinity of Saint Lo. Where are the so-called extra things?

 All his ammunition had to be transported from China. Those roads were in tatters due to bombardment by the Tang army. Even so, there were still Susas's "friendly troops" competing with him...

For Flix, the nearly one million troops in his hands were the guarantee for him to barely remain undefeated. It was also a pressure on him in terms of material consumption, but it was not the capital for his victory.
