Chapter 1561 Chapter 1562 The Collapse of the Dwarf

A ground-penetrating bomb penetrated the ceiling, penetrated into the underground fortifications, and exploded beside the dwarf soldiers.

The huge impact crushed all the surrounding dwarf soldiers, and then the entire tunnel collapsed, burying everything here.

In the face of the weapons of the Tang army, the underground bunker built by the dwarves was not as strong as imagined. Even those places reinforced with cement cannot actually withstand a fatal blow.

The Tang army was advancing steadily on the position, and the dwarves' defense line was being compressed bit by bit. No one knows where the Tang Army's limit is, and no one knows when the Tang Army will run out of supplies.

But the dwarves know where their limits are. Their positions are being lost bit by bit, their defenses are collapsing, and they are heading towards destruction.

"General Harv! We received another message from Everwinter Port. General Moss ordered us to hold on until the last moment and not allow surrender." Amid the constant shaking, an officer pushed open the door of the underground bunker. , walked up to Harf and handed a telegram to him.

The Tang Army's suppression was intermittent. Because defensive positions No. 1 and 2 were no longer so important, the focus of the suppression was no longer on their side.

In fact, everyone can see that the dwarf's 2nd Army is at the end of its rope. In this case, they can't make any waves at all.

"I know..." Harv sat in the underground bunker for a long time. He felt a little regretful, but more of a despair. His troops were basically on the verge of collapse, but he was not qualified to issue an order to surrender.

It was impossible to break out of the encirclement, and his troops could not even assemble: most of the troops had lost their organizational structure, the officers had suffered heavy losses, and the troops were severely understaffed. It was a miracle that they had been able to support it until now.

It has to be said that General Moss's response was not bad. At least because there were bunkers and sufficiently dispersed supplies, the troops could persist alone without command, which greatly slowed down the collapse of the dwarf troops.

However, delay cannot completely prevent collapse. The 2nd Army is now on the verge of collapse. It would not be surprising to completely collapse at any time.

There was ammunition and plenty of food, but morale had collapsed, and the important fortifications originally designed as support points had been destroyed in large numbers, so the 2nd Army's resistance had lost its structure.

If they were not afraid of losing too much, the Tang army could even drive straight in and crush the dwarf troops in positions 1 and 2. It's just that the commanders of the Tang Army were worried that the dwarf troops hidden in small fortifications would take the opportunity to make a sneak attack and cause considerable casualties to the Tang Army.

So the Tang Army was clearing away the dwarf soldiers in these small fortifications little by little. They were advancing cautiously, not giving the dwarf troops any chance.

"The flank of Position 1 about 2 km away from us... No. 206 lost contact. They asked for reinforcements before, but we were unable to provide reinforcements, and then the communication was interrupted." A staff officer reported bad news.

Judging from the number, this position is very close to the core area of ​​Position 2. If it is lost here, it basically means that Position 2 is about to be penetrated.

"News came from the troops holding position 204. They saw a white flag raised on position 205. They were worried that the 229th Division had surrendered..." Without waiting for Harv to say anything, the staff officer continued to speak. Xia said.

"Nothing surprising, our troops no longer have the courage to fight." Harv said with a wry smile. He knew very well that in the face of those terrifying thermobaric bombs and earth-penetrating bombs, the fighting will of the dwarf troops had actually completely collapsed. Their courage had been exhausted, and all that was left was the fear of death.

"The weapons of the Tang people are really terrible, and their tactics are advanced. It's a miracle that we can persist until now." He stood up and walked towards the map hanging on the wall.

Half of the large and small highlands have been marked with the flag of the Tang Army, and the troops in his hands are basically in a state of fragmentation.

"The opponent will definitely use those night combat equipment to launch an attack tonight... Our losses will definitely be greater than yesterday... We have no troops to defend the Snow Fortress." Looking at the map, he helplessly told everyone present. Everyone knows the ending.

Snow Castle is a small city in the northwest of the Ice Empire, about one-third the size of Benn. Originally, its status was not high and it was not important geographically, but it is the northernmost material base of Steel Barrier.

Starting from Benn, there is a railway that can reach Snow Castle directly, but after the war broke out, this railway was paralyzed.

Now, the Snow Fortress has no value at all in holding on. The dwarf troops around it have begun to fall apart, and its road to Benn has no meaning.

"Let the engineers prepare explosive devices to blow up all the materials in the snow fort." Harv expressionlessly arranged the funeral arrangements for him and his 2nd Army.

"General! The matter is not serious enough yet, is it?" A dwarf officer wanted to dissuade him anxiously. In his opinion, blowing up the snow fort was the last option. They seemed to be not at the end of the road yet.

"It will be too late if we don't take action! Now our defense line... may collapse at any time." Harv was not going to take risks, because even he didn't know how long his troops could last.

Just when he ordered to blow up the snow fort's reserves, a huge white flag was erected on the defensive position outside the snow fort.

This is a white sheet, and then the Tang army's troops entered these positions. The dwarf soldiers on the position raised their hands and surrendered, handing their weapons to the Tang soldiers.

Immediately afterwards, the Tang Army's armored vehicles and tanks entered the snow fort under the cover of helicopters. They took control of the field airport outside the paralyzed snow fort, and at the same time wiped out the dwarf troops who were unwilling to surrender outside the snow fort.

By the time Harv knew the news, the snow fort had been occupied by the Tang army for several hours. On the 6th day after the Tang army landed on the steel barrier, the Snow Fortress was liberated.

Immediately afterwards, the main positions 2 and 205 of Position 204 surrendered, and Harf had to move his headquarters and hide in Position 1.

As a result, as soon as he left Position 2, the remaining dwarf soldiers in Position 2 surrendered one after another.
