Chapter 1117 The Ups and Downs of Bachmut
These three days should have been the happiest three days for Bachmut.
Because he heard the news of Leon's death, this was great news for Bachmut.
After hearing the news, Bachmut almost jumped up with excitement.
All that’s left is to pop the champagne and celebrate at halftime.
But along with the news of Leon's death came a fierce attack from the Wehrmacht...
The National Defense Army turned their grief and anger into strength, and 50 troops launched a fierce attack directly. For three consecutive days, they launched 12 rounds of fierce attacks on Beiyuan City.
The orc army, which was already unable to hold on, was directly defeated.
The orcs were forced to tighten their defenses and concentrate their troops in the center of the city, and even stopped encircling the airborne regiment in the north.
Gather the main force and protect Bachmut tightly.
Just one day before Yun Li’s inauguration ceremony, the National Defense Forces completely took over 80% of Beiyuan City.
The only thing still in Bachmut's hands was the Bachmutden headquarters and the surrounding areas.
Bachmut did not choose to launch a counterattack, but instead gathered the remaining 50,000 troops and guarded around his own headquarters.
Two days...
In just two days, the Wehrmacht wiped out 100,000 orc troops.
And these are the elite!
Some orcs wanted to surrender, but were ruthlessly shot by the Wehrmacht.
Because Lyon has already issued orders for this military operation.
No orc army in Beiyuan City will be left alive!
That's why there was a record of annihilating 100,000 enemies. Otherwise, if we exclude the surrenders, it is very likely that there would only be a record of annihilating 60,000 to 70,000 enemies.
There was no way out. The morale of the orcs was directly crushed. If they could surrender, the remaining 50,000 orc soldiers would have surrendered long ago.
The orcs' bloodiness was completely aroused by their inability to surrender.
But this bloodiness is only momentary...
Because under the continuous attacks of artillery shells and rockets, their bloodiness had long been cooled...
The remaining 50,000 people huddled around Bahmut's headquarters and relied on local buildings to fight the Wehrmacht.
On the second night, as a first step, the commander of the corps group made a decision.
Just feed these orcs with artillery shells.
Didn’t they say there were 50,000 people?
It just so happened that there were still a large number of old-style artillery shells in the armory.
Most of the front's artillery were from the end of World War II.
Just pull out all these shells and smash the orcs' spines hard!
Fifty thousand people. The commander of the First Infantry Army prepared 50,000 tons of artillery shells for these 50,000 orcs.
Early in the morning of the third day, before the orc soldiers had time to have breakfast, the commander treated them to a "breakfast" sent to them by the Wehrmacht.
It took a whole morning to unleash 50,000 tons of artillery shells.
These 50,000 tons of artillery shells are all inventory. Even if the Wehrmacht does not use them, they will be sent to the Succubus Kingdom.
It’s better to use it for your own use first!
The 50,000-ton artillery shells directly shattered the orcs' spines, leaving them unable to eat anymore...
They finally remembered the fear of being dominated by the Holy Empire in the past. That feeling of powerlessness reminded them of the historical Western Expedition.
Of the fifty thousand orcs, thirty thousand were killed directly in the explosion.
After all, a 50,000-ton artillery shell hit an area the size of fifteen or sixteen football fields.
The firepower alone can wash this area several times...
Bachmut hid in the basement and asked the magician to protect the basement, so he barely avoided being buried by the artillery fire.
But it was not so good for others. Some high-ranking officials could come to Bachmut for refuge, but those low-ranking officers and ordinary soldiers could only be blown to death by artillery.
As soon as the shelling ended, the Wehrmacht launched a fierce attack with the front.
The commander of the front personally went to the front line, led his soldiers in the charge and took the lead.
At the same time, he ordered the supervisory team to kill anyone who tried to escape on the spot!
Nonsense, the Wehrmacht has already charged. If he doesn’t launch a charge at this time, he will probably be recorded in the notebook by the commander of the First Infantry Army.
By then, not only would he lose his position as commander, but his rank would most likely be revoked...
The commander of the front knew that this was not just a fight for his own job.
It even affects the happiness of the rest of your life...
With the commander in chief at the lead, 30 front troops followed by 20 Wehrmacht troops launched a fierce attack.
onslaught!
The Wehrmacht strictly adheres to the principles of firepower superiority.
If you can use cannons, use them. If you can’t, use infantry.
The main focus is fire suppression.
Two Guards Divisions upgraded from mountain assault divisions also completed their reorganization and were put into battle.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the general attack on Bakhmut was launched.
At first, the commander of the infantry army believed that they would have to fight until evening before they could capture Beiyuan City.
But the truth surprised the commander...
Because in just one morning, Bachmut's 20,000 troops were gone.
These 20,000 troops had no fighting spirit at all.
They almost collapsed at the first touch and were simply not as strong as the elite orcs.
It's no different from paper mache...
At noon, the Wehrmacht successfully captured Bachmut's headquarters.
Bachmut's death squad fought to the last moment.
Most of them accepted favors from Bachmut, and they got what they paid for.
Bachmut directly gave them money to buy their lives, so naturally they had to fight for Bachmut to the end.
Not only that, in addition to the Death Battalion, Bachmut's fanatical followers also died outside the headquarters along with the Death Battalion.
However, what is funny is that Bachmut and his senior officials hid in the basement.
Thousands of his followers died in the headquarters, but Bachmut was having his last carnival.
As a prince, Bachmut was a successful prince.
But as an emperor, Bachmut only knew how to enjoy himself, and his few talents were worn away by the pleasures of the world.
At this moment, as if knowing that he was about to die, Bahemut stayed in his basement and was enjoying his final carnival with a group of senior officials beside him.
I don't know where he got a large amount of wine from, but he just called the generals around him to drink as if this was just an ordinary banquet.
Looking at the joyful scene before him, Bachmut thought in a trance that he had returned to the Orc Empire and was enjoying himself in his own palace.
But the sound of artillery fire outside and the vibration of the table told everyone that this was still a battlefield...
The generals were silent, but Bachmut spoke loudly like a madman.
"Death is not the end, it only proves that we are inferior to others...
I believe that the gods will not let our souls be scattered, maybe we will be reborn!
Don't be sad, no matter what we do, failure is inevitable! "
Bachmut smiled self-deprecatingly.
Lyon had clearly died a few days ago, but at the moment when the Wehrmacht broke through the headquarters, Bachmut received news from the Papal States.
That means Leon is still alive!
The ups and downs of life made Bachmut dumbfounded...
(Good night?????><)? )
