Chapter 626 East Line Winning Score
The river flows endlessly and flows into the distance. The lush vegetation on the river bank is dense and beautiful, and everything is bathed in the freshness and nature of the morning.
Suddenly, a branch was broken, and the roar covered by the river became clearer and clearer. The branches of the tree were broken and fell to both sides, and a tank rushed out of the jungle.
Half of the car body poked out of the bushes, and the tank cautiously stopped moving forward. The hatch was pushed away from the inside. An officer wearing a cloth military cap came out. He focused on the other side of the river with his telescope.
"Notice to the battalion department! We have arrived at the Midock River! No puppet army was found. Half of the car leaned out of the tank hatch and shouted in the car, "Cfirm with the No. 4 car! Let's keep our current position! The infantry covering the 3rd regiment built a line of defense here.
While talking, another long tank barrel protruded out of the bushes not far away. Several soldiers ran to the river with a round shield and set up a water pumping equipment there. Although the river water had not been tested and could not be used for drinking, it was still possible to take a bath, not to mention cleaning clothes and brushing the car needed water.
In the distance, in the mobile command vehicle of the 2nd Army, the door of General Gavin's command car was knocked. There are three radio stations in the command car, including an officer, two guards, and five liaison officers.
"Report!" An officer entered the door and received a document: "The 1st Armored Division 1st Regiment has arrived at the east bank of the Midock River without resistance. They are consolidating their defensive positions. The 18th Army called. They annihilated about 40,000 puppet soldiers near the Qianxing Mountains, and never encountered decent resistance again.
"What's wrong with civilians?" Gavin frowned and looked at the map and asked.
General, the 28th Division found 3,000 survivors in a mountain pass, and many scattered troops are being collected. Marshal McVallon has personally allocated supplies. Although it has slowed the advance of the troops, the plan drawn by the military department is mainly to ensure the rescue of civilians."
"I heard that this is also the case with Marshal Yue Linger on the Western Front?" Gavin's handsome face was a little sad: "How can these puppets be so cruel?"
After a pause, Gavin looked at the officer and asked slowly, "Is General Edward's matter confirmed?" At least I personally think that even if he receives the telegram from General Edward, he may not..." Along the way from Rome, Gavin still can't believe that Edward will leave like this.
"The obi of the military has been issued, and the newspapers are now mourning the great imperial marshal. It seems that this matter is indeed true." The officer whispered that although he had never met, he could become an imperial marshal and die on the battlefield for His Majesty the Emperor, which itself deserves everyone's respect.
"Contact the air force, apply for a reconnaissance plane, confirm the movement of the puppet troops, and also confirm the large-scale concentration of refugees." Gavin said helplessly, "Send a telegram to the military department for me to mourn Marshal Edward."
"Yes!" The officer saluted a military salute and turned around and walked out of the command room.
In the next few days, the troops of the Sword Empire completely controlled the province of Mdoq, sporadically annihilated 70,000 scattered troops of the puppets and occupied the east bank of the Mdoq River.
And the main force of the eastern cluster personally commanded by McVlon attacked all the way, took the empty Dos City, and captured the whole territory of North Carto Province on July 27, 7 of the Gregorian calendar, and pointed straight to the Thor Fortress.
The action of using reconnaissance planes to find survivors is not very effective, because puppets have also used airships to find human beings for slaughter, so the lives of the surviving local civilians are quite hidden. They drilled into the mountains and forests and live in caves to avoid pursuit, but most of them are just waiting to die at home. After all, there are many people. The efficiency of the puppet slaughter is not high.
Even if it was disturbed by the action to save the locals, the troops under McVallon's advance were still very fast. Because the puppet troops did not fight back along the way, the large cities were liberated by the Holy Sword Empire army one after another.
On July 29 of the 7th Gregorian calendar, the army of the Holy Sword Empire began to cross the northern border of North Kato Province and enter the Thor Fortress area. Although they encountered the sporadic resistance of the puppet soldiers, the human troops still advanced towards the Thor Fortress.
The last day of July 7 of the Gregorian calendar, the morning of 31st. After a fierce attack, the 7th Army's armored force as the striker of McVlon is only 110 kilometers away from Thor Fortress.
On August 3, 7 of the Gregorian calendar, the 2nd and 18th armies of the Holy Sword Empire began to cross the Midock River under the cover of artillery fire, annihilating 90,000 troops of the puppet defenders on the opposite bank.
The next day, on the afternoon of August 4, the Vulture Division of the 2nd Armored Division of the Empire entered the largest city on the west bank of the Midok River, liberating the ghost city with only more than 70,000 people left.
In the headquarters of Thor Fortress, Brown has been in a mess with his staff. McVlon's army has approached, but Sophia's reinforcements have disappeared. Relying on more than 700,000 puppet troops to resist the 900,000 elites of the Sword Empire, Brown will not be optimistic that he can win even if he is conceited. Victory.
"Marshal! Let's give up the Thor Fortress and retreat to Leonard. A general suggested, "Justice the Thor Fortress. If His Majesty Sophia's reinforcements don't reach us, we will be finished!"
"Regress to Leonard? It's good that we can leave 500,000 troops there! What should I do if His Majesty Sophia is blamed? Brown glanced at the persuasive officer and said harshly, "The last time I defeated Xia Changkong in Thor Fortress!" This time I can defeat McVlon in Thor Fortress! His Majesty Sophia promised that I would give me 1 million reinforcements! As long as the reinforcements come! I can make Thor Fortress reproduce miracles again! At that time, if you attack inside and outside, you will definitely defeat the Holy Sword Empire!"
"But adults! The reinforcements promised by Your Majesty should have arrived 20 days ago! We have been waiting for more than half a month!" A general said with a bitter face, "These days, we have sent 200 messengers, but we haven't even brought back any news."
Before Brown could speak, a voice sounded: "Bullshit reinforcements! We were all fooled by Sophia! How long has it been since we heard from Leonard? I haven't received any letters from home for more than a month. She just let us die! We should have reversed a long time ago. Because of this Brown, we are now discredited! Let him go to hell with all kinds of war!"
