Alien Arms Empire

 Chapter 1697 1698 stayed

In the trench full of corpses, the soldiers of the Tang Army moved cautiously. There was already a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. No one could tell whether there would be some madman lying among the corpses to sneak up on them.

The two sides have been fighting here, and the dwarf soldiers seem to be holding back their anger and want to defend this place at all costs. They invested too many troops, from a few battalions to several regiments, and from a few regiments to several divisions.

Hundreds of people were killed here every day, and then hundreds more were filled into this big hole every day to continue fighting. Until later, even the Tang army couldn't understand why the other party would defend such a place so desperately.

If we talk about its practical effect, this train station would have been scrapped long ago! Completely scrapped! The railway tracks have been blown to the point where it is impossible to repair, the platform has been destroyed, and the surrounding buildings are about to be razed to the ground.

Not far away is the wreckage of a Type 96 main battle tank. It was destroyed next to a building. I heard that a dwarf rushed to the tank with a pack of explosives. All three tank crew members were killed.

The Tang Army soldiers carrying weapons walked around a pile of scattered sandbags, and walked around the dwarf corpse on the ground while stepping on the red soil. They walked very slowly, stopping from time to time to observe the surrounding terrain and cautiously testing for enemy snipers who might be lurking in the corners.

They had to be careful. Seven soldiers were shot by the dwarves yesterday, which was already a large number for the Tang army.

However, compared to the casualties suffered by the dwarves here, the losses of the Tang army can really be said to be insignificant: they have better helmets and bulletproof inserts that the opponent does not have. These gadgets saved the lives of many soldiers.

It has not been so quiet here for a long time. Such silence made the advancing Tang army a little nervous. When they touched a collapsed building, they finally saw the friendly troops waiting for them.

 Seven or eight soldiers were behind a wall that had mostly collapsed. The walls were so densely covered with bullet holes that it made everyone look frightened.

"You are finally here..." The Tang Army squad leader led by the leader relaxed significantly when he saw the expression on the supporter's face: "We have encountered a situation here."

"I heard." The squad leader of the Tang Army who came to support nodded his head. Their communication was very smooth. They already knew what was happening here before they came: "Can you let me take a look?"

"Follow me." The squad leader signaled, and then patted one of his men on the shoulder: "Lead the way and pay attention to the surrounding situation. Although the dwarves said that their people have withdrawn, they cannot be careless."

The soldier nodded slightly and walked at the front with his weapon in hand. They bypassed the collapsed low wall and walked along a path that could not be called a road to a half-collapsed building.

A group of Tang troops walked into the building. This should be one of the waiting buildings of the train station. Ironforge's train station was not advanced. As the scale continued to expand, it was divided into several waiting buildings, so it was created for Tang Jun during the fight. Lots of trouble.

These buildings are very strong, and artillery shells cannot even completely destroy them. The collapsed buildings have formed continuous ruins, making it difficult for armored vehicles to advance. The scene inside the station startled the soldiers of the Tang Army who came to support them: the place was densely packed with people. There were many dwarf civilians among them, as well as countless dwarf wounded.

 The enemy left them behind when they retreated. It is unclear whether they stayed here to wait for death or to deliberately delay the Tang army's advance. In short, when facing so many dwarves, the Tang Army's frontline troops were indeed at a loss.

"There are about 1,000 people. It's really crowded in such a poor place..." The squad leader of Tang Jun paused for a moment when he discovered this place. For a moment, he found that he couldn't think of any adjectives to describe the scene in front of him.

"A few dwarf officers were over there. They stayed and explained the situation to us. The other party had no medicine to take care of these wounded people, and at the same time they were not willing to waste food on these civilians and wounded people, so they left them all to us. ." Pointing to a few dwarf officers with bandages on their heads or arms, the squad leader said helplessly.

He knew that the Tang Army did not mind taking in these wounded, nor did they mind helping these civilians, but this would take a lot of time, enough for the retreating dwarves on the opposite side to establish a strong defense line in another neighborhood.

"In other words, they retreated?" The squad leader who came to support found the point from another direction: "The battle here is over?"

"Probably, the officers said that all the dwarf soldiers who could fight did retreat this morning, taking away all the ammunition, medicine and food, and leaving them behind." The squad leader who called for support nodded.

"It's finally over." He breathed a sigh of relief, and the squad leader who came to support looked at the dwarves who were crowded together like a sardine can: "You set up a warning position on the left, I will take a few people to the right, and the remaining Please **** them out of here."

Looking at this building, which was almost a dilapidated building, they really couldn't bear to let these dwarf civilians and the wounded stay here like this. Maybe if we wait a few more hours, someone will suffocate inside.

"Don't move the wounded yet, let the civilians who can walk out on their own first. On the way I came, the company commander was building a safe passage. It is estimated that the responders will arrive soon." The squad leader who came to support said as he started Arrange manpower.

Soon they raised a dragon flag of the Tang Dynasty at the train station. The red dragon flag fluttered in the wind, and all the Tang troops who saw it cheered.

The dwarf civilians who had truly seen their surroundings for the first time were pale. They stepped on the fragmented limbs next to the crater and followed the route prescribed by the Tang Army towards the "safe zone" prepared for them by the Tang Army in the suburbs.

At least there will not be bombarded by the Tang army itself, and there are simple tents to live in. Although the weather is getting colder, the conditions are indeed better than those in the urban area where the war is ongoing.

As long as the Tang Army is willing to provide enough fuel and cotton-padded clothes and quilts for winter, at least the dwarves in the safe zone will not have the problem of large areas freezing to death. However, the dwarves were very uneasy. They didn't know whether what was waiting for them was the responsible Tang Empire or the same lousy country as in the past.

On this day, the Tang Army officially took control of Ironforge West Station. It was also on this day that 30,000 Dornish Empire troops arrived at Ironforge and participated in this **** city offensive and defensive battle as a "foreign regiment".
