Ti is fair to everyone; Tang Country’s series of victories on the Eastern Continent have granted them more ti to handle their own issues.
They not only optimized their mariti transport, but also gradually reclaid their dividends from this war: The mountains in the Dwarf Northern Region are truly a treasure trove, full of precious and rare tals, packed with valuable resources.
There’s not only tungsten, but also molybdenum, and of course, plenty of silver and gold... In short, this is indeed a very important tal production base, where any random mine is worth a fortune.
In the past, the Dwarves relied on these ores to manufacture world-renowned weapons, and later, the products here beca a basis for purchasing weapons and equipnt from the Shireck Consortium.
Then the Great Tang Group rose to prominence, and the Dwarves utilized these mineral resources to achieve their own industrialization. Although this industrialization was not complete, they indeed beca one of the few industrial powerhouses.
The train cars were filled with pitch-black coal. These freshly mined coal deposits must be screened, processed, and then consud on the spot.
The Great Tang Empire constructed three large thermal power stations on the Eastern Continent, with equipnt directly transported from the Western Continent, resulting in fast construction speeds. These power stations can obtain coal resources locally, and the electricity generated can be fed back to nearby mining areas.
Engineers from Tang Country took only two months to restore the occupied area’s power output to pre-war levels, which, no doubt, is a miracle.
Although nearly all weapons and equipnt need to be transported from the distant Western Continent, Tang Country’s technicians can ensure that over 90% of the weapons can be repaired in the Eastern Continent. If using components from the Western Continent, all weapons and equipnt can be repaired and returned to the battlefield.
This logistical supply capability has almost ended the disadvantages brought by overseas combat for the Tang Army. Without the constraints of sea transport, the Tang Army’s attack has beco sharper.
Now, both sides have focused their attention on the border line previously disputed between Elves and Dwarves. If the Tang Army breaks through here, they will truly have entered the Poplar Empire’s territory, and the Poplar Empire will have no choice but to begin fighting on their own soil.
Even though the Poplar Empire has frantically mobilized 300,000 new troops, the speed of forming units still can’t keep up with the rate of consumption at the front lines.
Although the frontline units haven’t been obliterated, they are constantly being routed, with various problems appearing frequently.
On the 9th of this month, Felix finally arrived at the designated area of decisive battle, at the border between Elves and Dwarves. Both sides have built nurous trench defenses here, with barbed wire and anti-tank obstacles visible everywhere.
Gazing at the craters left by shells in the distance, Felix felt quite sentintal: It was here that he commanded his troops to repel the Dwarves’ attack and was eventually promoted to Marshal.
For him, this place is a blessed land. Now that he’s returned here, he really hopes this blessed land can grant him a second victory in the war.
"Marshal! The Tang Army’s vanguard has appeared 30 kiloters away, they’ll soon be approaching here..." An officer walked over sowhat worryingly, reporting the latest situation to Felix, who stood by a jeep.
Indeed, the 4th Corps has been desperately sniping the 1st Armored Division of Tang Country, but the opponent’s attack power was just too strong. Felix knew the 4th Corps fought very determinedly because they certainly didn’t want the enemy to enter their country.
But despite the 4th Corps’ best efforts, their gap in hard power left them with no ans against the Tang Army’s armored corps.
The Tang Army’s Type 96 main battle tanks are far superior to the tanks equipped by the Elves in every aspect; the two simply aren’t in the sa dinsion.
With a 125mm caliber tank gun, advanced ballistic computers, and precise modern observation and aiming systems... It’s simply giving no chances for the elves’ armored troops.
Whether it’s hidden ambush or frontal assault, no matter how the Elves arrange their tactics, they are always the ones routed at the first touch. Sotis, just two ard helicopters from the Tang Army can chase and attack an entire regint’s troops...
This one-sided thrashing completely destroyed the morale of the Elf Troops. The routed troops were scattered everywhere, and the Tang Army captured over ten thousand stragglers from the 4th Corps, which speaks volus.
"I understand." Felix looked back at the 5th Corps soldiers behind him, who were busy repairing the pre-existing trenches, and said confidently.
After all, he arrived here ahead of everyone else, and the troops of the 5th Corps have finally shown up where they should be.
As long as they can hold out here for 15 days, the Elf reinforcent troops gathering behind them should be able to stabilize the battle situation and reclaim Hotwind Port.
Reclaiming Hotwind Port will be a turning point in the entire war; it’s the first ti the Allied Forces would retake a city lost to the Tang Army, decisively marking the Allied Forces regaining battlefield initiative.
Of course, they haven’t taken back Hotwind Port yet; all of this is Felix’s imagination. Therefore, he refocused from the busy soldiers and ordered, "Fortify the defenses as much as possible; we must hold our positions here! Not a single step back! For the Empire! For His Majesty The Emperor! And for the honor of the Elf Race!"
"Yes!" The officer stood at attention, saluting before turning away with the orders. The captain of Felix’s personal guard ca over and said, "Marshal! We’re a bit too conspicuous here, for your safety, let’s find a more sheltered location."
Felix nodded, without getting into the car, he walked down the small hill with his hands behind his back, heading towards a distant woodland.
About 30 kiloters away, Liu Guozhu had already gotten out of the tank, enjoying his first brief respite of the day.
His troops had been attacking continuously for a whole day, and throughout it, he lost track of how many enemy lines he’d broken through. The opponent seed to be fighting to the death; even a company of troops would try to delay the Tang Army’s advance for as long as possible.
It’s not that Liu Guozhu really needed rest; his tank was already far more comfortable than the Elves’ scrap tal. However, his tank was low on ammunition and fuel.
Therefore, he had to stop, waiting for the following supply convoy to arrive. After checking the tank’s condition and resupplying ammunition and fuel, he could then continue the assault.
