Chapter 1840 Focus on the heart
A horrific explosion completely shattered the morale of the resistance.
Although the Ibelin already knew the ending, they all wanted to struggle.
After all, they firmly believe that the outcome is still uncertain, and that we could all be dark horses.
But in reality, they weren't dark horses, they were just ordinary mediocre performers...
After establishing the connection between the surface and underground rivers, the naval fleet immediately began to surface.
These naval soldiers, who had spent two or three days in the underground river, now looked as if they wanted to devour someone.
Nonsense, anyone could stand being in that dark, sunless place for two or three days.
This is equivalent to locking you in a dark room for three days straight.
They're not dedicated submariners.
Submarine sailors spend one or two months underwater, and when they come back up, they're so hungry they want to eat grass by the roadside.
They don't want to become that kind of terrifying creature.
Ibelin and his team rushed to the center of the explosion as quickly as possible.
But what came into view was not a deep pit.
It's actually a huge lake!
The water from the underground river has overflowed, filling the entire pit.
Meanwhile, the naval vessels have completed their ascent.
Furthermore, the 800 Marines on board the ship have begun establishing an outpost port on the shore of the lake.
Looking at the naval vessels, Ibelin immediately realized that the explosion was caused by the National Defense Forces, and that their aim was to open a new battlefield.
Ibelin did not order his men to storm the military camp under construction.
Because he knew that against these steel behemoths, the resistance would only be easy prey.
Without turning his head, Ibelin ordered his soldiers to prepare for retreat.
And this time he didn't simply return to the camp, but ordered everyone to immediately evacuate from the camp.
Try to find a way to escape to a farther place.
But Ibelin overlooked one thing.
That means they were in the deepest part of the desert.
Guderian, in a very uncivilized manner, directly opened up a new passage deep in the desert.
With this passage...
The National Defense Forces can use the center of the desert as an anchor point.
They began to launch attacks in all directions.
Meanwhile, the National Defense Forces, which had long been assembled on the edge of the desert, also received orders to engage in combat.
They will cross the desert at top speed.
They met with the navy in the center of the desert.
In order to complete the tactical infiltration.
Guderian concentrated all of the armored forces of the frontline defense forces.
100多辆99A，200辆T80，60辆04A，500多辆BMP2。
This time, Gudri did not use wheeled infantry fighting vehicles.
For quickly traversing desert terrain, tracked vehicles are definitely the preferred choice.
Therefore, it essentially brought together all the tracked armored forces on the front line.
The remaining wheeled infantry fighting vehicles were responsible for escorting follow-up troops.
The massive armored force, like a sharp blade, plunged fiercely into the desert.
The dwarven resistance forces responsible for guarding the edge of the desert were terrified.
All they saw was the mighty steel torrent of the National Defense Army rushing into the vast desert.
They didn't even have the slightest thought of resistance.
Because they knew the National Defense Force would crush them.
They immediately sent a message to Ibelin.
Then Ibelin was completely dumbfounded.
The purpose of the National Defense Forces is obvious.
That is to rendezvous with the navy deep in the desert.
Ibelin must prevent the two sides from meeting.
Because only by preventing the two sides from meeting can we have that one and only chance to win.
With this in mind, Ibelin prepared to take stock of his men and find a way to stop the National Defense Forces.
After Ibelin finished counting his men, he remained expressionless, sitting in his chair without saying a word.
Because at present, the entire dwarven resistance army has absolutely no ability to stop the steel torrent of the National Defense Army.
After learning that the Wehrmacht had deployed at least 800 armored vehicles, Ibelin took stock of the forces at his disposal.
Finally, a conclusion was reached.
That means they simply couldn't stop the National Defense Forces' offensive...
Those 300 tanks alone would completely break them down.
What's more, there were more than 500 infantry fighting vehicles following behind them.
That's a real armored vehicle, not some so-called civilian modified version!
Ibelin glanced at the dwarven resistance's anti-tank soldiers.
These dwarven anti-tank soldiers only have a small number of RPGs; a significant portion of them still use Panzerfausts, and some are even worse off.
They used armor-piercing rifle grenades.
It's like a World War II rifle grenade.
The only difference was that the grenades were replaced with armor-piercing shells.
It is less lethal to vehicles.
This weapon can only pose a threat to some trucks and military Humvees at best.
For infantry fighting vehicles, this level of threat is nothing more than a tickle.
The only thing that could make an infantry fighting vehicle feel fear is probably the small number of RPGs.
Moreover, these RPGs all use ordinary armor-piercing projectiles, and do not use special tandem armor-piercing projectiles.
Modern tanks, on the surface, do not appear to differ much in weight from the heavy tanks of World War II.
However, the two differ greatly in size.
Modern tanks are much larger than those from World War II.
However, their weights are not significantly different.
This is because most modern tanks use composite armor.
This armor is lighter.
A larger tank means it can carry more equipment.
Previously, shooting systems relied solely on manpower; now, they have been transformed into integrated fire control systems.
Moreover, the armor protection level is much stronger than before.
Tandem armor-piercing projectiles were designed to counter the increasingly robust protection of tanks.
Tandem armor-piercing projectiles are similar to cluster munitions.
The first explosion is armor-piercing, but the second explosion is the real killing blow.
The steel torrent of the National Defense Forces marched into the vast desert.
This is not just a war.
It was also a revenge by the National Defense Force.
The National Defense Force intends to show all its enemies reality that there will only be one outcome if they provoke them.
That would mean being wiped out by the National Defense Forces!
The National Defense Forces charged directly into the vast desert.
Newspapers began vying to report on the military operations of the National Defense Forces.
The dwarves throughout the dwarven empire reacted differently to this.
Some dwarves are staunch supporters of the Great Fire.
They believed that these rebels were against the dwarves.
Although the Great Yan is a country of humans.
But they have now become part of the Great Yan.
Moreover, the Great Yan Dynasty had never treated them badly.
They are allowed to preserve their own folk culture.
But the premise is that it can only be folklore, not populism.
The National Defence Force respects the cultures of all countries.
But this is not a reason for countries to resist.
What does it mean to fight for national independence?
They eat our food, use our products, and then they smash the pot.
Why are your faces so big?
Ibelin decisively issued an order of non-resistance to the rebels in the border region of the Great Desert.
Because these dwarven resistance fighters in the peripheral areas are essentially cannon fodder.
Faced with the overwhelming force of the National Defense Army, they had absolutely no ability to resist.
So Ibelin made them surrender.
Ibelin was indeed a dwarf nationalist.
But he is not the kind of extreme nationalist.
He always put his fellow dwarfs first.
In such extreme circumstances, Ibelin would never allow the dwarves to make unnecessary sacrifices.
