Chapter 343： Left uppercut

In the capital of the Puppet Empire, the big centipede city Burklan, a magician hurriedly pushed open the door of the Grand Magister Travis, and reported loudly in horror: "It's not good! It's not good! The front line just happened." With the news, Ailan Hill has attacked!"

When he shouted the news loudly, the southern area of ​​the Holy Demon Empire, the defense line controlled by the Puppet Empire, was full of thick smoke from explosions.

More than 400 B-17 bombers visited the defense lines of the Puppet Empire together, dropping bombs covering all areas near the border.

Immediately afterwards, more than 270 Il-2 attack aircraft and more than 110 b-52 bombers began subsequent attacks. The b-52 was responsible for bombing important points in the rear, while the Il-2 attack aircraft swept the puppet troops on the front line.

In a sea of ​​flames, Ailan Hill's 1st, 3rd, 7th, 19th, and 20th Army Groups simultaneously began to attack on the wide front.

Under the cover of more than 6,000 large-caliber artillery pieces, more than 2 million soldiers directly smashed the defense lines of the puppet empire.

What is this number? The density of this artillery is about 10 times that of the Puppet Empire, the caliber is twice that of the Puppet Empire, and the number of shells is thirty times that of the Puppet Empire!

Originally, the puppet empire also hoped that their defense line could last a few days, so as to obtain some opportunities for the surrounding troops to mobilize reinforcements.

After all, they invested a lot of manpower and material resources to build defenses that they believed to be very strong, and even used cement in some places to build complete defenses. There are countless bunkers on the three lines of defense, as well as some hidden artillery positions,

But who would have thought that Ailan Hill, who hadn't made any big moves on the frontal battlefield against the Puppet Empire for two months, would have made such a big movement this time.

Napalm bombs and white phosphorous bombs, ordinary incendiary bombs and cheap bombs, fell from the sky like no money, and enveloped the defense of the entire puppet empire. Mobile terminal::

There were three lines of defense, two of which were in ruins without even having a chance to fire. Nine out of ten puppet soldiers stationed in the defense line were razed to the ground along with the position. Computer::/

The anti-aircraft guns arranged in the position did nothing to fight back in the face of the bombing. These anti-aircraft guns had not fired a few rounds before they were flooded by the explosion and turned into a huge crater.

If the shells fired by the 203mm caliber cannon directly hit the concrete bunker, it would immediately penetrate the top of the bunker and then explode inside to completely destroy the target. Even if there is no direct hit, the puppet soldiers inside the bunker can be collapsed.

There were bomb craters everywhere, and unrecognizable defensive positions filled with smoke everywhere. The trenches had long been destroyed by artillery shells, and even the heavily reinforced bunkers were completely destroyed by the large-scale shelling of Ailan Hill.

Between broken trees and collapsed houses, there were wreckage of puppet soldiers and broken puppet chariots everywhere.

These puppet chariots were hit by shells or bombs, some completely exploded into parts, and some were crookedly paralyzed by the crater, and could no longer move.

On the puppet position full of gunpowder smoke, only half of the puppet soldiers were left crawling backwards with difficulty, and then, behind it, an m4 tank smashed up, and the only half of the puppet was rolled under the track.

The remaining arms of the puppet were still struggling on both sides of the track, and when the entire head was crushed into the soil, its arms exposed on both sides of the tank's track fell weakly and stopped moving.

The priest's self-propelled artillery followed the tank one after another, surrounded by armored vehicles and countless Ailan Hill soldiers.

The sound of guns in the distance is still dull, and the attack range of the long-range artillery has exceeded 30 kilometers, and these bombarded places not close to the front line are still under the control of the puppet.

Some gunshots could be faintly heard on the third line of defense, but everyone knew clearly that the organized resistance on the front battlefield of the Puppet Empire had all collapsed.

The rest are just some remnants of defeated generals, who can only stand on the fragmented line of defense, waiting for Ailan Hill's soldiers to strangle.

In a town 79 kilometers away from the front line, the collapsed houses were still burning. A gray-faced senior wizard of the puppet empire had just struggled out of the collapsed ruins when he heard the desperate report from his men.

He just used the magical defense barrier in time and was not killed by that powerful cloud bomb. Even so, he was still shaken to the ground, and the decent magician robe was covered with dust, and the whole person looked very desperate and embarrassed.

"Mr... the first line of defense has lost contact, the legion commander Hill Gai is missing, and there are not many 400,000 puppets left!" With a crying face, every word the other party said was like a sharp sword, pierced here. The heart of a senior magician.

The magician pushed away the entourage who wiped his wounds, stared at the generals in front of him and the magician asked: "Where is the second line of defense? Let me hold the second line of defense! Hold it!"

Everyone was silent, because a few minutes ago, the second line of defense had also lost contact. No one dare to say this thing, after all, if this thing is said, it will be a morale worse thing.

The defensive positions garrisoned by the millions of puppet troops are 70 kilometers in depth. Who would have thought that the battle had just begun, and it had become the depressing appearance it is now?

"Let the reserve team quickly reinforce the second line of defense!" Regardless of his embarrassment, the senior magician quickly opened his mouth and ordered.

After hearing his order, everyone around him looked embarrassed. Now they don't know whether there is a second line of defense and they need their support.

Just now, the news from the troops stationed on the third line of defense was that they had been attacked by Ailan Hill's ground troops. Therefore, at this moment, even if the second line of defense still exists, it has been penetrated by the enemy.

Because contact has been lost, these senior commanders are more willing to believe that their second line of defense no longer exists.

"The reserve team has been paralyzed, they have been taken care of by the bombers..." Without explaining the second line of defense, an officer began to talk about the reserve team.

The reserve team of the Puppet Empire stationed behind the three lines of defense was not so good at this time. They were paralyzed by the bombing and basically lost their ability to reinforce the front line.

"What does it mean to be taken care of? Huh?" The senior magician frowned and asked harshly.

"The barracks were bombed, and the places where the puppets assembled were covered by bombs. The enemy had planned to destroy our vital forces, and our army suffered heavy losses..." The general replied bitterly.

He had tried to mobilize troops to quickly reinforce his defenses, but the assembled troops were battered by the Il-2 attack aircraft. The opponent also dispatched some b-25 bombers to perform ground attack missions, which caused him. A lot of trouble.

He had sent out hundreds of thousands of reinforcements a long time ago, but this kind of scattered reinforcements is tantamount to refueling tactics, and sending them to the front line won't solve any problems at all.

And the troops of tens of thousands of people, before they get to the front line, will be paralyzed by the enemy's air attack, and they will also have no effect.

Ailan Hill's attack began abruptly in this way, and their attack speed was much faster than previously estimated by the Puppet Empire.

At the beginning of the attack, Ailan Hill assembled 5 armies, more than 4000 m4 tanks, these tanks as pioneers, have crushed all the armored forces of the Puppet Empire.

In the past, the Puppet Empire deployed more than 800 puppet tanks on the long line of defense. Now, most of these puppet tanks have become history.

The line of defense that was originally expected to last a few days or even dozens of days was broken within an hour, and the rest of the matter can be imagined without guessing that the mechanized forces of Ailan Hill will drive straight in under the cover of the air force, and the puppet empire’s Reinforced troops are not firmly established and will melt like snowflakes in the sun.

"Let the Serpent Troops and the Dragon Troops fight back as soon as possible! This is our last chance!" The senior magician who knows that something is bad has not many cards to put on the battlefield. He can only use the main force of the counterattack force. , Put into battle on the battlefield in advance.

The few remaining high-level magician legions in the Puppet Empire, including the dragon and serpent troops, are the few cards in his hand...

"Yes! I will order the Serpent Troops to rush to the third line of defense and participate in the counterattack!" The general nodded and said after hearing the order.

At this time, another general next to the senior magician suddenly suggested: "Sir... we... can we dispatch **** puppets to stabilize the line of defense?"

"Yes! Yes, yes! We still have **** puppets! And **** puppets!" The senior magician remembered that his other trump card was the five **** puppets who had just arrived on the front line earlier!

With these **** puppets, he can counterattack and stabilize his line of defense, even if there are more enemies, these **** puppets can deal with it.

Moreover, dispatching **** puppets on the frontal battlefield is not threatened by nuclear deterrence, or in other words, they can't care about nuclear deterrence anymore.

"Yes! Send out the **** puppets immediately! I want to show the **** of Ailan Hill, our puppet empire is powerful!" The desperate senior magician gritted his teeth and roared.

Amid the rumbling of Ailan Hill's artillery fire, and under the noise of countless bomber engines in the sky, five **** puppets jumped up from the base where they were stationed and rushed in the direction of Ailan Hill's attack.

On the other side, Ailan Hill's army has penetrated the third line of defense of the puppet empire, and the forward force has begun to develop in depth. Countless soldiers carrying weapons, following behind tanks, armored vehicles and self-propelled artillery, stepped neatly towards their pre-selected target.
