Chapter 126 Reconnaissance by Firepower in the Imperial Capital

"Keys! Keys!"

"What's wrong, Best?"

"How many do you see? The lieutenant is walking towards us!"

"Alright, stop yelling. I see it. A hidden magic artillery position, and quite a few magic infantry. I see the glow of magic crystals."

Case climbed down from the tree. The defensive positions set up around the capital had long since destroyed the peaceful and tranquil scene of the past. He landed on the ground and had just clapped his hands when he saw the lieutenant wearing a red beret.

"Lieutenant, I see the concealed magic artillery positions across the way. There are at least three magic artillery pieces, two machine gun positions, and at least a battalion of men."

"Get ready, we're about to launch an attack."

The number of artillery positions around the capital was unusually large. The Southern Army had deployed artillery or artillery positions at every node. With the help of magic machine guns, they were able to build machine gun positions. Although the power and accuracy were not satisfactory, they were still a significant threat.

Several divisions that had assembled on the outskirts of the capital began to conduct fire reconnaissance of their respective attack directions, and the small outposts on the outskirts alone had been contested several times.

Several 75mm infantry guns were pushed onto a high ground. Case looked at Best. The entire platoon lay prone in the crisscrossing trenches under the cover of night. In front of them, the majestic figure of the capital city, which had stood for nearly a thousand years, was close at hand. Behind them were artillery, tanks, and airplanes. Under their feet was ashes and mud.

"The artillery will fire two rounds in a bit. After that, there won't be a whistle. You guys follow me and charge! Best, set up your damn M1919 and provide cover for our entire platoon! Laka! Get that 60mm mortar ready. As soon as you see any firing positions, damn it, take them all out! A friendly tank platoon will provide cover for us! Got it?"

"Yes!"

The roar of cannons shattered the brief silence. Everyone knew that even a feint or a small breakthrough would often result in casualties. The 38T would be destroyed when faced with a fully prepared magic cannon, let alone the recently appeared, rare close-range magic launcher that could fire lightning without charging.

"Quickly! Follow me!"

Two flares pierced the night sky, bringing light to the dark earth. Ekevich stood in the palace, looking at the distant light. How did things turn out this way? First muskets, then black ships, then artillery, machine guns, and tanks.

A perfectly good adventure world is being turned into a modern war by that damned princess! She's already destroyed his otherworld, and now she's going to destroy him too!

"Your Majesty, the northern troops have reached the outskirts of the city..."

Ekevich knew that he couldn't win this war with his incompetent subordinates. Don't be fooled by the powerful firepower of his magic legion; it's all an illusion. All their supplies come from the Desert Empire and the Balkan Empire, and their supply lines are being cut off by the Eastern Theater Command!

The elite troops of the desert empire and the Balkan empire had long been sharpening their swords, but he was not unaware of this, so he continued to withstand the pressure. However, the troops in the south that were resisting the church refused to obey the order to move north!

"Sir, you see, I told you long ago that your troops couldn't win, but our massive army can. They've been tempered in war and have ample weaponry..."

Ekevich looked at the Balkan man and finally agreed to their terms. He would get the Balkans and the desert people to send troops!

In the outskirts of the capital, Case was following a 38T tank. It has to be said that having tank support and not having tank support are two different things. He could have the tank destroy the enemy's firing points at any time without sacrificing his brothers or taking any risks. He only needed to pick up the communicator at the rear of the tank.

"Alright! Follow me, everyone!"

The lieutenant, holding an M3A1 submachine gun, gestured for the entire platoon to follow him. Case jumped into the enemy trench. After being tempered by war, the Confederates had finally learned how to dig trenches, but their magic rifles were heavy and long. The lieutenant's small submachine gun only needed to pull the trigger to clear out the remaining enemies in the trench.

The reconnaissance fire in the outskirts of the capital continued amidst the tug-of-war. Alice looked at the sand table in the Le Mans command post. The capital was almost the size of a small administrative province. This ancient city could only be described as enormous.

Tens of millions of residents meant tens of millions of laborers. Ekevich transformed it into an earthen fortress, with numerous bunkers, trenches, and hidden troop shelters in the suburbs alone. In the most densely defended area, a regiment of people was crammed into one square kilometer.

Such battles can only be fought in joint operations. After the Northern Theater Command and the Western Theater Command merged, they had the resources to do so. Two tactical air wings and one strategic air wing were ready. The former was equipped with a large number of I-153 fighters and Hs.123 attack aircraft, all of which were biplane configurations.

The latter, the Strategic Air Wing, was equipped with 10 KI-21 Type 97 bombers. These bombers did not prioritize payload capacity but rather speed. In the current civil war among the demon race, the infrastructure in the south was generally poor, so pursuing payload capacity was not very meaningful. The Amelansi Aircraft Design Bureau turned its attention to speed, and the KI-21 Type 97 light bomber came into view.

In addition, the Amerlane West Aerospace Force has also deployed a reconnaissance regiment in the direction of the capital, with four Hs.123 reconnaissance aircraft joining ground troops to conduct reconnaissance over the capital.

The sun slowly rose from the horizon, and the first rays of sunlight shone on the earth. Case knew that he had survived another night. He lowered his rifle. In front of him was a southern magic soldier whom he had killed with a single shot. The soldier was clutching a magic rifle tightly in his hand.

"Hey, Case, go get some rest, our allies have arrived."

Launching reconnaissance or attacks in the early morning, followed by rotation of second-line troops to consolidate positions, this step-by-step approach made things very difficult for the southern army. Even if the remnants of the defeated army, driven out of their positions, launched a counterattack, they faced a well-prepared and energetic new force, while they were exhausted.

Case looked up at the sky, where the roar of fighter jets and bombers served as the alarm clock for the day. Ekevich gritted his teeth as he looked at those flying knights, a testament to the power of Northern Industries once again.

These aerial knights made their battlefield debut, and aerial warfare will revolutionize ground warfare.
