Chapter 318： Duel

"I said I would enter the city for dinner." On the largest demon warship, pressing the long sword around his waist, the demon general's handsome face showed an extremely unhappy expression.

In his opinion, the human city in front of him is close at hand, and it is simply a trophy given to him for nothing. But a whole afternoon passed, and now it was evening, and he still hadn't won the trophy.

This made him a little anxious, a little angry, and a little faintly uneasy and irritable. He was worried that mankind would no longer take care of the remnants and defeated generals on this side, and use that terrifying weapon to destroy all the demon troops nearby.

"It's so unfavorable, what's the use of keeping you?" While speaking, the demon general turned his head and swept the dark shadow beside him with a sharp eye.

The black shadow shrank into a ball, and said tremblingly: "Your troops have landed, I think... this battle will soon be the winner!"

"You said that an hour ago... The source of magic does not require waste!" The demon leader flipped his palm gently, and a hot flame rose from the shadow of the shadow and swallowed the whole Shadow.

"Ah!" The black shadow screamed hysterically, twisted and struggled in the flame, but could not get rid of the flame, and finally disappeared in the flame little by little.

"I really want to see how these poor humans are blocking my attack!" He drew out the long sword in his hand, the fleshy wings behind him suddenly spread out, and the whole person rose into the sky: "Follow me to attack! "

Behind him is huge, it has sunk more than half, only revealing part of the floating castle with high towers on the sea.

After all, the seawater here is not so deep enough, so the castle has not completely sunk below the surface. However, the parts exposed on the water have been severely damaged, and many buildings have collapsed.

After all, under the attack of dozens of Super Hound missiles, and later hit by some other bombs, this floating castle can still remain intact, which is already very lucky.

Following the demon generals to take off, there were countless dragons and strong demons riding on them.

They are the demon's most elite dragon army, and they are also the most powerful force following this demon general.

These flying dragon troops skimmed over the sea, passed the demon warships that were constantly attacking fire, and then passed the demon infantry that had already established advance positions on the beach.

In Ferry City, the demon soldiers are launching a fierce attack into the city. Some warships are docked on the dock, and some giant machinery loaded with magic circles are being unloaded.

More demons are gathering. They didn't even clean up the treasury area and the dock area full of corpses, and they began to move toward the city.

The demon troops lined up in a phalanx, holding shields and carrying weapons, attacked the city along the streets and buildings. Street fighting was unfolding throughout Dukou City, and the Ailan Hill troops who came for reinforcements did not retreat, and the two sides fought fiercely in some blocks.

Within a few hours, the casualties of Ailan Hill's 15th Army rose to 4,000, which is still a tolerable figure for the defending side.

With his long sword, the old general Medias had already felt the pressure, and the devil's attack was unreasonable and powerful, which made many of the old general's tactical arrangements useless.

Although it now appears that the entire battle is still within the controllable range, there is already a tendency to gradually get out of his control.

"Isn't completely in control of the air?" He looked at the Air Force liaison officer on the side, and asked with some dissatisfaction.

Because the Air Force has been unable to gain air supremacy for a long time, the demon dragons and demon bats have been interfering with the Ailan Hill troops on the ground. These demon forces often raid human positions, and the main enemy that causes casualties to Ailan Hill forces is these guys flying in the sky.

"I'm really sorry! The devil's flying units are crossing the mountains, and the fighter units deployed in the Hanhai and Volavo mines have to switch from offensive to defensive..." The Air Force officer explained, "Only I am in the direction of Mayne. The military fighter force does not have an advantage in number."

"Strive for air supremacy as much as possible! We must block the attack on the beach and paralyze the enemy's landing troops, in order to stabilize our position and delay more time." Medias commanded in a slightly hoarse voice.

Now his troops are still okay. If the demon troops don’t have more tricks, even if he doesn’t change anything, there’s still no problem in sticking to the night.

The old general Medias was worried about two other questions: First, would these demons really stop at night? The second question is how to fight tomorrow's battle!

The first question is that the information from the 9th Army shows that the devil will not take the initiative to attack and fight at night. If this is the case, then the 15th Army can take a good rest and replenish stamina during this long night.

However, if the opponent does not intend to cease the war and continues to attack at night, the 15th Army, which has no time to rest, might collapse at night.

The second question is also very simple. Although there are a lot of reinforcements in the battle on the second day, the deployment of materials is also considered sufficient, but if the devil is allowed to gain a foothold in Dukou City, then for the 15th Army, the situation will be better. More passive.

"The loss of the 201st Armored Division has exceeded one-third, and many units have lost contact! The commander of the 201st Armored Division has called, hoping to withdraw them from the position..." At this time, a combat staff officer walked over. , Handed the message to Midas, and reported.

The 201st Armored Division has been fighting on the front line since the second line of defense participated in operations. They have not rested or been rotated, and have been sticking to the front, obstructing the demon forces landing in the direction of the beach and the salt field.

Medias sent the reserve team to Ferry City and plunged into the city street fighting. This is his choice, because he fears that the devil's occupation of the city will cause damage, especially if the battle spreads to the well-preserved Dukoucheng industrial area.

If the devil destroys it, the production capacity of Ferry City will be completely zero. Even if the battle is finally won, Ferry City, which has lost its industrial foundation, will not be able to contribute to the Ailan Hill Empire in a short time.

Therefore, when Medias chose to save the Ferry City to death, the Ailan Hill field troops on the beach and the salt field defense line could only rely on themselves.

"Let him continue to hold his position! He wants to withdraw and rest? There are 7 divisions on the front line, and they all want to withdraw and rest!" Medias refused the request of the 201 Armored Division and still ordered: "Deadly defend every position! It's very night today!"

"Yes! I'm going to deliver the order!" The staff officer stood up and saluted, and then turned and left with the order of Midas.

"Report!" Before this staff member walked out of the headquarters, one of the staff members quickly walked in and reported: "The devil has entered the main force. They don't seem to want to wait until night..."

"Are the front-line combat troops under pressure?" The wrinkled Mideas frowned and asked coldly.

"The line of defense in the city can still be maintained. The line of defense on the beach has collapsed. According to the information returned from the battlefield, the opponent tried to encircle the 201st Armored Division near the salt field and the 115th Infantry Division, which was not a big loss." The staff officer immediately replied. Tao.

"Order the 125th Infantry Division on the flank to counterattack against the flank of the demon advance force! Can it be done?" Medias asked as he walked to the front of the map and pointed to a force on the edge of the beach defense line.

"The 125th Division can hold the line of defense, I think it is already lucky." The staff replied somewhat embarrassed.

"It seems that the salt field area cannot be kept..." After rubbing the palm of his hand on the hilt twice, Medias said with an ugly face: "Maybe, we are going to lose 201 Armored Division and 115 Infantry Division. ."

The staff officers who were familiar with the old general heard these words and knew that the general, who had always been known for his steadiness, planned to sacrifice the two divisions on the flanks, and then buy time to lay out another line of defense behind them.

Because mobilizing troops to rescue these two troops obviously takes a lot of risk, it is not the habit of General Medias to temporarily decide to fight back. In this case, he would rather give up these troops and let them buy time, rather than risk letting the troops launch an inadequately prepared partial counterattack.

"The devil's commander is a powerful guy. The timing of the entry into the reserve team is right, and the entry point is perfect. He found the weakest point of my defense, and then cut the widest hole." McGrady Yas summed up his opponent bitterly.

Then he walked to the front of the map and said firmly to himself: "It's a pity that you met me! Midas!"

Suddenly, he raised his voice and said loudly, "Let the 201st division stand on the ground! The 115th division retreat and break through! You have to cut my defenses and eat my two divisions, and I just want to break yours. tooth!"

At the same time, in Tony's telescope, in the woods between the salt field and the coastline, demon soldiers wearing glyphs and magic defense armors began to come out. The weapons of these demon soldiers are sophisticated, and they are burly, and even their shouts are even more terrifying.

After these demons walked out of the woodland, they began to dispatch troops and soon formed a huge infantry phalanx. Then, with a command echoing in the sky, the demons began to take neat steps towards Tony's direction.

Seeing all this, Tony put down the binoculars, held down the throat communicator, smiled bitterly and said to his companions: "Loading high-explosive bombs, the enemy is attacking!"
