Chapter 2498: War Begins

There are no traditional magicians in the empire, because the gods have withdrawn their favor and will no longer give them power. However, because of the "principle of magic retracing", the empire has opened up a new technology tree to mine magic from time.

According to the theory of relativity, there is no overall unified cosmic time in the world. Everyone's time is independent and is relative to their own reference system. Because of this, the time of magic is also independent and can be reversed individually.

Then, using the mysterious time mining machine, you can dig out the magic contained in history for your own use. To be honest, according to the law of conservation of energy, the energy consumed by mining magic is greater than the magic itself. It can be said that the time mining machine itself is more advanced and more powerful than magic.

But Duran doesn't care about these.

Because of the principle of magic retracing, more powerful flying skeletons can also be launched.

However, such weapons are only used by elementary school girls. Real soldiers have no magic. They must train in formations, infantry-tank coordination, crossfire and other combat actions.

Tanya proposed that the three-three system of skirmishers is the most advanced infantry system in the world, and it was also learned on another timeline.

You need to maneuver and intersperse, learn to cut off the head and tail, and attack the weak.

In this era when artillery bombards and infantry rushes, these excellent infantry tactics can be said to be unique. Even if they are not magicians, every soldier must actively use his brain to defeat the invaders.

The Three Kingdoms Alliance spent half a year to re-arrange, and launched the "meat grinder" offensive at the beginning of winter. The three armies set out at the same time, and they wanted to kill the empire with absolute national strength.

After landing, the main force of the southern army quickly assembled and headed towards the border of the empire with tanks as cover. This winter will be particularly cold.

However, the cold has its advantages, because the cold ground freezes, and tanks can run rampant.

There are not so many infrastructure roads outside the empire, so tanks must walk in the fields. If the temperature is high and the ground is muddy, the tank troops will fall into a nightmare. But in winter, they are not afraid.

Another advantage of winter is that you don’t have to worry about the invasion of the Federation, because in winter, the Federation will fall into a situation of wind and snow, and it will inevitably cost a lot to send troops.

Because of the weather, the Empire can put more soldiers on the three battlefields instead of defending the Federation.

The battle must be resolved in winter. This is the determination of the Empire and the result of reality. The Empire does not have enough resources. If the war is prolonged, it will definitely be exhausted, so the victory can only be decided as soon as possible.

In the south, the main force of the enemy is sniped by conventional troops. They have to face enemies five times their own and the enemy's heavy artillery firepower. Their task is to stop the enemy outside the border and delay until the Strike Girls defeat the northern enemy and go south to support.

At least five days, maybe seven days.

"This will be a very difficult week." Thomas whispered as he looked at the icy rain in the sky. He knew that this battle would be cruel, but as a soldier of Lehi, he would definitely fight to the end.

Thomas was only a second lieutenant with six soldiers under him. The seven of them formed a firepower team and were now passing through the Empire's highway to the southern front.

"This is the southern front." The bulldozers, excavators, and mixers in front roared and clamored, forming a bustling construction site.

"The infrastructure troops across the country are all here to build a strong position. Our mission is to hold on, hold on, hold on, and never let an enemy soldier or an enemy tank pass through here, understand?" The captain said to several subordinates: "Next, I will assign tasks. Thomas, you are responsible for position No. 7 from here to here. Lewis, you are responsible for position No. 9, from here to here..."

Several pairs of eyes stared at the map of the front line. A winding concrete position was rising from the ground. Fortresses, bunkers, and fortresses formed a solid defense system.

But this is not enough, Thomas thought, the enemy will definitely use artillery and airplanes to transport shells crazily, the fortress will be blown up, and the bunker will be blown down. They are facing a brutal war.

"Commander, there is a high ground here. Although it is outside the border, I think we must occupy it, otherwise the enemy will vent shells from the high ground to our side, and we will suffer a lot." Thomas looked at the map for a long time and suddenly found that there was a hillside that was neither high nor low outside the border. This is not a good thing. This height is really good for overlooking the position.

Although the mission is to hold on, if the enemy relies on the high ground, it will be an advantage.

The commander nodded: "Yes, you are good, this high ground has been sent to the C company to defend, and our B company's combat mission is to hold the position."

"Yes."

"Okay, adjourn the meeting, everyone go back and prepare, we must teach those hateful invaders a hard lesson, let us know that we Lexi are not easy to bully."

Enter the position.

The drizzle has not stopped, and the workers are still adding bricks and tiles to the position. Thomas' nose is frozen red, and the other soldiers are similar. They have frostbite on their ears and fingers, but the war is about to begin, and they can't care so much.

The scout has brought back the news that the enemy's soldiers have almost assembled and will launch the first wave of offensive at any time, so everyone on the Empire side is waiting seriously. Once they hear the bombardment, they must prepare to hide. Now they eat, drink, defecate and urinate in the position.

Rain is better than artillery fire, Thomas thought optimistically. He was about to find a sheltered place to smoke when he heard a whistle in the air, and then the air defense alarm sounded, and then the anti-aircraft guns began to vent gunpowder into the sky.

The southern front was the most tragic, and there was no air superiority, because the Imperial Air Force was pinning down the fleet on the western sea. So in this week, they had to face bombardment, and they could only rely on anti-aircraft firepower.

Without the slightest sign, the battle began.

The first wave of planes was just bait, to observe the defense of the front and find the position of the anti-aircraft guns. The next bombardment was the highlight.

The long-range artillery vented without cost, and the shells rained down, and the positions blossomed.

The previously exposed anti-aircraft guns became the focus of greeting. Tons of shells fell on the reinforced concrete front, and the ground turned into scorched earth. The fortress was pitted by shells, and many anti-aircraft guns were destroyed.

The bombing lasted for several hours. Thomas had to admit that the Three Kingdoms Alliance was really too rich. Without Strike Girls Lexi, it would have been impossible to win. He might not be able to return alive, but Martha would definitely take good care of their son.

After the bombing, the sound of tanks approached.

Then it was the turn of the Empire's artillery positions behind the front line to start bombing. In order to leave the enemy's artillery range, the Empire's artillery was in the rear and could only provide a little fire support to the front line, and could not hit the enemy's artillery. Because the range of the artillery of both sides is similar, if the Empire can hit the coalition, then the coalition will definitely hit the Empire.

However, even if the Empire's artillery cannot be hit now, the coalition still has planes. Sooner or later, all the heavy firepower of the Empire will be eliminated, and then tanks and infantry will go forward to tear up the front line and destroy this pathetic country without any faith.
