Chapter 416 New Port Elegy

The defense of the 304th Armored Division is so tenacious that this tenacity and courage even won the respect of their enemies, the army of the Orc Empire. A strange scene appeared on the battlefield in this desert. For the first time, the Orc Empire did not ** the bodies of human soldiers, but covered them with the bodies of the orcs. Bury.

When the orc troops poured into the destroyed human positions, these numb sword imperial soldiers who had been tortured by the war were still resisting. Amazing scenes began to appear on the battlefield for the first time. The army of the Orc Empire began to persuade human troops and claimed to treat it with the most decent surrender ceremony. Some heroic human beings.

The Orc Empire's attempt to encircle Newport near the beach was finally shattered, but they concentrated their superior forces to take down all the walls. Now human beings are completely compressed in the port area, relying on several high sea defense forts there to organize the final defense.

The survivors are very tired. Most of the defenders of Newport have fallen into a terrible despair. The 5142 soldiers left in the 304th Division have reached the limit. They don't even have the usual strength to chat. They just silently jumped from this trench into another trench and shot out all the crossbows they could find. Under the command of Colonel Meyer, they contracted some defense lines and retreated to the vicinity of the port, where they rearranged the last defense of the new port to meet the most difficult times.

The Battle of Xingang has lasted for nearly two weeks. The forces of the Orc Empire still failed to occupy the Newport. Although the royal flag of the orc empire has been flying on the municipal building in Newport, the magic cannonballs roaring from the sea and the fighting from time to time from the port prove that human resistance is still continuing. After a fierce battle, the attack launched by the Orc Empire was once again repelled by the 304th Armored Division.

For the soldiers of the young 304 Division of the Holy Sword Empire, this was a day worth celebrating. They stayed on this ruin for 11 days and nights.

But the unfortunate news came that Colonel Myer, who had been commanding the 304th Armored Division, was killed in the battle just now. The news plunged all the officers and soldiers of the 304 Armored Division into shock, panic and sadness.

That morning, Colonel Meyer and his only staff officer deployed troops in the headquarters to block the battered defense line, and they suddenly heard the sound of a boulder flying overhead.

Maier has always disdained the orc's limited trebub, just grinning and continued his words, but his luck was really bad. A boulder accurately hit his headquarters, and both he and the staff officer were hit.

After the soldiers around saw such a scene, they hurried to the collapsed command post to save them. But when they were found, they had no body temperature.

Myer was hit in the head and died on the spot, while his staff officer was buried alive under the ruins and suffocated. The two Newport heroes left their beloved soldiers in a humble way "no different from other soldiers killed in battle".

Everyone felt that Meyer's death was so ominous, and an uncontrollable fear permeated the air, destroying everyone's heart.

On the afternoon of the same day, the last tank of the 304 Division guarding Newport was overturned and turned into a pile of scrap iron. The whole 304 Armored Division is now more like a depressed infantry force, covered with mud, gray and messy armor.

In the early morning of the next day, the army of the Orc Empire finally gave up its intention to capture or encircle human beings and launched another round of fierce attack on Xingang. Accompanied by the huge stones thrown by dense catapults, more than 40,000 orc infantry rushed to the port area of the new port. These orc troops are accompanied by a large number of Bemon beasts and war beasts, and even 10 flying dragon air forces.

In the face of the superior strength and fierce attack of the Orc Empire Army, the defenders of the Holy Sword Empire that lost the commander Mayer still adhered to the core of the defense and continued to fight tenaciously in the ruins around the port area.

With the continuation of the battle, the defensive positions of the Sword Empire have been gradually divided, the battle has gradually lost its organization, and the magic cannon has become scrap iron because of the exhaustion of ammunition. But the soldiers still continue to fight in accordance with the instinct of survival.

The nearly self-destructive combat of the 304th Armored Division once again dragged down the fierce offensive momentum of the Orc Empire army. The Orc Empire lost nearly 10,000 infantry in the day-long arduous battle, but all the fighting around the Newport port area continued.

The fire spread everywhere, and the sound of weapons bumping together can be heard everywhere on the battlefield. The soldiers fought ruthlessly in the ruins. The battle turned into a bloody and cruel war of attrition, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.

However, at this time, the human defenders in Newport received an order to retreat. The last civilian had just boarded the transport ship, more than 710,000 civilians suffered only 14,759 casualties, and all the rest were safely returned to Rome Island and other areas.

The order was issued in a very timely manner, and the 304th Division would soon be annihilated if it did not retreat. There is no reserve in the division, the ammunition has been exhausted, and any reinforcements and any package of supplies have become an inaccessible luxury.

With the help of naval sailors, these soldiers boarded the retreating warship with fatigue and scars. These warriors gave up the Newport City, which they held for 12 days. Covering their retreat was 65 large-caliber magic cannons on 13 destroyers of the navy.

Acudo personally received these soldiers on Rome Island and awarded each of them a Newport Battle Medal. These blood-stained soldiers shook hands with their emperor indifferently, and some could only stretch out their bare wrists wrapped in gauze. In the end, only 3114 Newport defenders returned to Rome Island, and the Holy Sword Empire paid the tragic price of more than 13,800 people killed in Newport.

The 304th Division was rebuilt, and this ace force embarked on a journey again. After replenishing tanks and armored vehicles, the 304th Division was transferred to General Gurian and became a main force on the eastern battlefield.

After more than 40,000 people were killed, the Orc Empire cleaned up its backyard and drove the human troops out of the rear of the Orc Empire. Xingang, once an important city of the Romai forces, completely became a ruin and completely disappeared into the long river of history.

And Arcado is not a king who does not avenge, so under his order, the war machine of the Sword Empire began to operate rapidly, and a revenge war with the Orc Empire has become a hot topic for the senior officials of the Sword Empire these days.
