Chapter 237 237 Caunia

Walter faced a much worse situation than before, with his 1st Army in charge Advance along the westward railway to capture Kaunia, the important northwestern border town of the Holy Demon Emperor.

The key defense direction of the Holy Demon Emperor before is also here. After all, after the Holy Demon Emperor decided to turn against Alanhill, the focus of their attack was on the north-westward railway line.

The puppet empire's mission to the Holy Demon Emperor is also very clear. It doesn't matter if it is lost anywhere else. The important thing is to stop Alanhill who is trying to reinforce Greken and the Eternal Empire on the westward railway. force.

Strategically, this is the most important operational direction of the puppet empire alliance. Therefore, the troops invested by the Holy Demon Emperor are the most elite and the most well-prepared.

Compared with his ignorance of the puppet empire, Alanhill's infiltration of the Holy Demon Emperor's country was relatively in-depth. Under such circumstances, it was not an easy task for the grand consul of the Holy Demon Emperor to hide from Alanhill's spies.

So on the side of the Holy Demon Emperor, their preparations for the battle were insufficient. If the mobilization of troops is prepared in advance, it will definitely cause Alanhill's alert. Therefore, the Holy Demon Emperor only mobilized a part of the army and drove to the west defense. This mobilization paralyzed the Alanhill Intelligence Section.

As a result, who could have imagined that the original goal of these troops was the westward railway, and they drove westward to occupy and control the important transit station of the westward railway, Kaunia.

It can be said that the Holy Demon Emperor who had the intention to provoke war was successful in the strategic cover-up and the mobilization of troops in Early-Stage.

But in terms of macroscopic strength, the huge gap between Alanhill and the Holy Demon Emperor can no longer be made up by some small tricks.

The 1st Army's attack on Early-Stage was very successful. The 1st Armored Division, with the cooperation of the 11th Armored Division, ran westward along the railroad, and the rampage was unstoppable. The Saint Demon Emperor's troops fought hard to stop them, but they were still unable to stop the 1st Army's offensive footsteps.

However, in the final stage, the 1st Army Group slowed down its offensive due to the soldiers' exhaustion from the continuous fighting, and waiting for fuel and ammunition from the rear, as well as the construction of field airfields by the front-line attack aircraft. .

As a result, the reinforcements of the puppet empire rushed to the frontal battlefield, and Kaunia became the core War Zone that the two sides fought for.

The puppets and magicians of the Holy Demon Emperor put a lot of troops here, and when the 1st Army attacked again, it became difficult to advance.

On one side is the main force of Alanhill's main force, the elite 1st Army; the other side is the main force of the puppet empire and the last elite of the Holy Demon Emperor - both sides are desperately attacking each other here.

Alanhill hopes to capture Caunia, open up the westward railway, and stabilize the already tight 9th Army.

The puppet empire hopes to stop Alanhill in Kaunia, buying time for them to sweep the Eternal Empire.

If Alanhill gets through the line of defense ahead of time, then the 1st Army will enter the Eternal Empire, and it will not be so easy for the puppet empire to take the westward railway line.

And if the puppet empire takes the Eternal Empire first, then the westward railway will be almost completely cut off, the 9th Army will suffer heavy losses, and the subsequent strategic situation will undergo fundamental changes.

"Let the 121st Infantry Division go up! Clear out the troops on the outskirts of Kaunia!" Staring at the map, General Walter gave the order to put in the new Combat Unit again. The previous two infantry divisions had lost the ability to continue their offensive because of three consecutive days of fighting.

It is what Walter must do to replace these tired troops with new forces and maintain the offensive intensity of the troops. However, the order in front of him is also very helpless.

His chief of staff stood by his side and reminded him: "The 121st Infantry Division was just withdrawn to rest three days ago... Now it's up again... I'm afraid..."

>

"Let them fight for the first day! Destroy some of the fortifications on the outskirts of Kaunia! Seeing that the weather is about to change, and then drag it down, rainy weather, without air force cover, how could the puppet not fight back?" Walter said worriedly.

Because the battlefield is along the westward railway line, Alanhill is reluctant to use nuclear bombs to clear the battlefield. Once nuclear bombs are used, this area will not be used for a long time. For Alanhill, which wanted to put the westward railway into service immediately, it was a reluctance to accept.

Therefore, the death order given to Walter above is to use all available power to capture Caunia as soon as possible and get through the westward railway.

Of course, because it is the main attack direction, the 1st Army has also strengthened many infantry divisions, in order to be able to achieve the campaign goals faster regardless of losses during positional warfare.

In the past two days, the periphery of Caunia has repeatedly changed hands. Walter invested 7 infantry divisions and more than 100,000 people here, but still has not been able to seize the puppet empire. This traffic hub.

"We can't delay like this indefinitely! The 9th Army is still waiting for us!" Staring at the map, the chief of staff said with a worried look on his face.

Depending on the weather, there may be rain in the next few days, making Alanhill's strong air support passive. This means that the defense of the puppet empire has been strengthened in disguise, which made Walter and other commanders very unhappy.

The best way to solve this trouble is to seize the outer positions as soon as possible in the past few days, and advance the fortified battle to the urban area of Kaunia.

Anyway, in the urban area, bombing is not so important, street fighting will not rely too much on air support, and Alanhill's powerful offensive will not be weakened too much.

On the other hand, as long as the railway station on the edge of the urban area is captured, the railway will almost be opened, and in the remaining part of the urban area, Walter can not worry too much, slowly. Just tidy up.

"Let the Air Force bomb here and here! Destroy the possible artillery positions of the puppet troops! Let the 121st Division advance to Hill 4 as soon as possible! Destroy the puppet firepower nearby!" Walter emphasized again own command.

The chief of staff is also nodded, they don't have many choices, and time is a sharp sword hanging over their heads. In this case, it is their best choice to let the infantry seize the outer defense line as soon as possible.

......

The already soft soil cracked a gap, and then a finger made of wood carvings broke free from the soft soil.

Immediately afterwards, the palm of a puppet protruded out of the soil, revealing the smooth and slender arms behind it - looking at the style, the puppet's arms were no different from the stool legs cut by Alanhill woodworking machinery.

With the help of Alanhill's production technology, the puppet empire's production speed has been increased to an unimaginable level. Many parts that could only be produced by hand can now be produced directly by machinery, which is a terrifying improvement.

This puppet struggled to climb out of the floating soil on the position that had just been shelled by Alanhill, and then pulled out his Mauser 98K rifle, which was mostly buried, from the surrounding soil.

He picked up the rifle and pulled the bolt, ignoring his legs that had been smashed by the shells. The legs have lost the ability to walk, so the puppet soldier can only rely on his arms to crawl on the ground.

The masked puppet soldier shook his head and saw an Alanhill M4 tank beside him slowly driving forward. The heavy tracks ran over not far from him, and the rumble of the engine was rhythmic.

This huge tank up ahead has a beautifully engraved magic defense barrier rune on its armored steel plate, with a hollow, good-looking eagle emblem in the middle. On the side of the tank's turret, the three numbers of white are placed next to each other to form a number representing the unit the tank is in.

The puppet saw Alanhill's soldiers following behind the tank, so he subconsciously picked up his weapon and wanted to fire on those soldiers.

But while he was aiming, he also saw an Alanhill grenadier with a weapon aimed at him with a dark muzzle.

He had no fear or hesitation, just mechanically pulling the bolt with his hand, hoping to pull the trigger before the Alanhill soldiers could fire.

It's a pity that he was still half a beat too late, that Alanhill's grenadier had already loaded and pulled the trigger on the puppet.

"Bah!" With a crisp gunshot, the ordinary puppet soldier of the puppet empire was shot in the head, and the bullet shattered the mask hanging on the puppet's face, allowing the puppet to reveal a magic crystal. Ugly head made of stone and various rune combinations.

The bullet left a hole in the magic spar, and scattered cracks cut through the working Magic Talisman text. The puppet was paralyzed there as if he had lost his soul, still holding the Mauser 98K rifle that looked good quality.

"Bah!" Beside the Alanhill Grenadier who shot, another human soldier held a weapon and shot into the distance. Not far away, a puppet struggling to stand up fell on its back amid the sound of gunfire.

The tank ran over the piled up puppet corpses. Below these puppet corpses, the corpses of the soldiers of the Holy Demon Emperor could be seen vaguely. Under the corpses of the soldiers of the Holy Demon Emperor, there might be an Alanhill The corpse of the grenadier, and under the corpse, there may be many, many corpses.

Every inch of land here has been fought over and over again, and every trench here has had countless sacrifices, but today, Alanhill has once again occupied this place, and countless leather boots are trampling on the puppet's The wreckage controlled this position that was no different from the lunar surface.

At the far end of this place, a black golden eagle battle flag was erected by the soldiers, and the huge banner fluttered in the wind. –
