Alien Arms Empire

 Chapter 1568 1569 A huge port

 Fried felt alive after eating his breakfast. He was a former air force pilot, so his treatment in Dorne was also very good, but it was obvious that the prisoner of war meals in the Tang Empire were better.

He was able to move around freely yesterday, but his mood couldn't get better after reading the contents in the newspaper: The Tang Empire had expanded the landing site and captured a large area of ​​​​the south of the dwarves.

It was once the station of the 1st Army of the Ice Empire, and solid fortifications were built. However, the 1st Army, which suffered heavy losses, was not able to hold on there.

The solid defensive positions were surrendered, and now only one-third of the Dwarf's 1st Army was still holding on to its southeastern defense line, and the remaining area had been occupied by the Tang Army.

If the Tang army attacks further, it may threaten the crucial Yongdong Port from the flanks. As long as the Tang army captures Yongdong Port, the Tang army with a large port can easily obtain supplies. If the Ice Empire wants to catch up, When the Tang army went to sea, it was more than ten times more difficult.

Everyone is making decisions around this goal. The Tang Army is trying to go south to seize Everwinter Harbor, while the Ice Empire is reinforcing the defense of Everwinter Harbor.

From Moss's point of view, as long as he holds on to Everwinter Harbor, there is still hope and room for change.

Fried had also heard this statement before taking off to join the war. His commanders told him that as long as the dwarves held the port, the Tang people's supplies would not be able to land on a large scale, and the Tang army's offensive would definitely be contained. .

In fact, the Tang Army's landing force has indeed weakened its offensive in the past few days. From all aspects, it seems that the Tang Army's logistical supplies did have some problems.

Of course, Fried didn't know these things. He was shot down two days ago. Of course, he couldn't know that the Tang army's offensive had also slowed down in the past two days.

But he got a notice today that he might no longer be able to hang out in the field hospital on the front line. As a prisoner of war, he was to be sent to the rear and leave his homeland of the Eastern Continent.

This is the first time Fried has left the Eastern Continent, but his destination is not the Western Continent, but the northern islands, the northern islands of the Tang Empire... It once had another name, Mirage.

 So after breakfast, Fried stretched his body at the tent door and looked at everything around him carefully again.

There are more tents outside his ward. The field hospital where the pilots are located belongs to the Tang Army's own field hospital: ordinary Tang Army infantrymen will be sent here after being injured and enjoy the same treatment as prisoner-of-war pilots.

 As for the dwarf infantry captured by the Tang army, their detention conditions were not so good. Most infantry prisoners of war in the Ice Empire could only rely on themselves. They could only build their own shacks and wait for their own prisoner-of-war doctors to treat their wounded.

 The only good thing is that their medicines are relatively sufficient. The Tang army seized a large number of medicines for the dwarves in the occupied area, and basically there is no shortage of anything.

Even a large amount of weapons and ammunition were left in the occupied areas. The Tang army could not use them themselves, so they could only be piled up in warehouses and no one cared about them.

"It looks like you are recovering well." Dwarf Fok walked behind Fried, said something, and also made a stretching action.

 Because of his good performance, he was left to continue to maintain such a small prisoner of war camp for pilots. Some people used it smoothly, and Tang Jun was too lazy to replace it. Seeing that these pilots were about to be sent to the rear, Fokker was actually a little reluctant, because with the changes in the war situation, it was obviously unlikely that so many pilots would be captured again.

In the tense air battle that day, the Ice Empire suffered too many losses, and the frontline air force was completely useless. Under such circumstances, it was obviously unrealistic to expect the Ice Empire to gather its troops to launch an air counterattack.

 If planes are not dispatched, then naturally there will not be a large number of pilots captured. Even if you come to this small field hospital, it will not restore the bustle of the past few days.

"Yeah, it's a pity... When I think about it again, I don't know what year it was." Fried was a little sad, and sighed before slowly speaking.

 He was not particularly nostalgic for the Ice Empire. He just remembered that it would be a long, long time before he could return to his hometown of Dorne, so he expressed such emotion.

"Although it's very regrettable, I still wish you a smooth journey." The dwarf Fokker comforted him, and then he saw the Tang Army car that came to pick up the pilots.

Today’s coastline is still a busy scene, full of busy soldiers, countless tent construction sites and areas where materials are piled.

While passing through these places, Fried was completely frightened by the scale of the Tang Army's landing. He really didn't realize that the Tang people had filled this place with strategic materials.

He saw various building materials placed in the open air, patches of barracks, and various ammunition depots converted from the fortifications left by the dwarves.

Helicopters passed overhead from time to time. After Fried saw a huge concrete bunker that had been destroyed by artillery fire through the canvas gap of the truck bed, he vaguely heard the sound of the whistle.

The slightly bumpy car passed the checkpoint and then stopped at the dock area. When Freed opened the curtain and saw what he saw, he almost fell back into the car.

It was a whole bustling port, with more than a dozen piers that were built somehow arranged in front of him, like giant arms stretching into the sea.

There are also temporary cranes built on one side of the pier. Large cranes are unloading goods from ships and placing them next to transport vehicles waiting to be loaded.

Countless soldiers were disembarking on the gangway extending from the ship. They were carrying their luggage and lined up in an orderly manner.

Fried didn't know how many soldiers he saw, but he was very sure that the Tang army did not lack offensive troops or supplies at all! There were more than 2,000 soldiers who landed on the dock alone. They were well-equipped and had high morale. There was an area on the dock filled with hundreds of tanks and artillery, like a large armed parking lot.

He could see all kinds of transport ships lying on the sea, almost covering the entire horizon. There were so many ships going back and forth that Fried had never seen them in his life. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something. Voice, but was so surprised that he couldn't say a word.
