"Report! Tianyan radar detects signs of enemy large-scale operation..."
As the Black and White Eagle Village's ground forces were just beginning to move, the staff at the Camel Combined Command Center, who were always responsible for monitoring, promptly reported the message to the commanding officers at the Combined Command Center, including Modalarhan.
Black and White Eagle Village is not a Dragon Village, it does not have the "Imposter" type of interference device like Long Village. Therefore, under the surveillance of Tianzhu Satellite System, also known as "Tianyan" which is the joint command center's so-called "Eye," every move of Black and White Eagle Village is almost completely under the watch of Camels!
"Your Royal Highness, their target is likely our first and second lines of defense. What should we do now?"
Looking at the information displayed on the screen in front of Modalarhan, a commanding officer dressed in the uniform of Xidiao Camels, showed a poor expression.
In the face of questioning, Modalarhan did not respond immediately, after much thinking, he finally said:
"How many people are left on your first and second defense lines now?"
Upon hearing this, the Xidiao Camel commanding officer who had just asked did not hesitate and replied promptly:
"Following the instructions of the Prince, to prevent massive air strikes from causing massive casualties, the main force of the first and second defense lines has been largely evacuated. Inside the first and second defense lines, there are only two brigades, totaling 15,000 personnel. Excluding the casualties caused by yesterday's bombing, only 13,750 combat forces remain now..."
After hearing the Xidiao Camel commanding officer's report, Modalarhan again fell silent.
13,750 people, sounds a lot.
But remember, this is the defensive force spread across two defense lines!
Average allocation, the power for each defense line is less than 7,000 people!
And now, according to the information observed by the "Eye in the Sky", the enemy that the first and second defense lines are about to face, with their number already close to 100,000!
That's just the number of personnel; it doesn't include all sorts of light and heavy equipment...
Even if the terrain of these two directions is relatively complex and the enemy cannot possibly deploy all of their forces, this does not change the fact that they are about to face an enemy force of 100,000 people!
But even in this situation, the next fight for these two lines will at least face the impact of tens of thousands of people!
And besides the ground forces, there's also the aerial force!
Unlike the scarce Camel Air Force of the Black and White Eagle Alliance, the aerial force of the combined forces of Black and White Eagle Village can be described as terrifying!
In contrast, the total number of Camel's fighters is only a few hundred, most of which are the Yinglong and Tianlong fighters purchased from Long Village, as well as some M and S series fighters purchased by Xidiao Camel from Polar Bear in the past.
While the Black and White Eagle Allied Forces have fighter jets numbering in the thousands now!
Moreover, the Black and White Eagle Village is rapidly restoring its industrial strength. Although the Black and White Eagle Industry has been abandoned to some extent, it has not yet reached the point of complete abandonment.
After entering the state of war, all industries in Black and White Eagle Village are now rapidly reviving.
Fighters, missiles, and other equipment are also being produced in increasing numbers from the factories.
New planes are leaving the production line every day and being sent to the desert.
In addition to fighter jets, pilots are also being trained in such large numbers. Black and White Eagle Village has the largest number of flight clubs in the world, possessing the world's largest air force.
Similarly, they also have the most comprehensive and numerous pilot and pilot training systems.
Furthermore, they also have the countless followers and sycophants of Black and White Eagle Village.
In terms of sheer numbers, ten deserts couldn't match the Black and White Eagle Village!
Let alone the falcons that the Black and White Eagle Village now has!
With the usual combat style of Black and White Eagle Village, it is inevitable that the first and second lines will be cleaned up by air!
After a long silence, Modalarhan turned his gaze to a commanding officer next to him, and spoke in a deep voice:
"How many of our Judges and Falcon drones are left?"
Upon being asked, the camel commanding officer replied promptly:
"As of an hour ago, we now have only 835 Falcon attack drones left, 21 Falcon reconnaissance machines, and 5466 Judges…"
"Where are our anti-aircraft missiles?" The moment the camel commanding officer finished speaking, Modalarhan's voice echoed again.
"The H10B anti-aircraft missiles are down to 87, and all other anti-aircraft missiles have been used up..." The camel commanding officer responded promptly.
Upon hearing this, the faces of the Xidiao Camel commanding officers present were all a bit unpleasant.
Even though they had already known that their situation was not optimistic.
Nevertheless, hearing it again, they still found it hard to accept.
87 H10B anti-aircraft missiles sound like a lot, but how much can so few anti-aircraft missiles do?
It wouldn't be enough to defend even one important location.
The same applies to those drones. Even with hundreds of them, so few of them would be enough for the enemy to destroy them in just a few battles on the battlefield!
The only consolation is the 5,400 plus Judges.
Although there was a significant loss in previous confrontations with the Black and White Eagle Village, several months ago, the Desert Camel purchased over 100,000 Judge drone components and materials from Long Village. As of today, the underground warehouses of the Desert Camel still contain tens of thousands of Judge drone raw materials.
Therefore, the Judge drones are almost constantly in production, even every minute and second.
Even when the power station was attacked, it did not interrupt, and the Desert Camel directly used high-power diesel or gasoline generators to maintain the production of the Judge drones when the power station had problems.
Even so, with over 5,000 Judges, they may seem like a lot. But in a large-scale engagement like this, they would be used up very quickly...
After a while of closed-minded meditation, Modalarhan opened his mouth again:
"Order! All Judges drones are to prepare, and a saturation attack on the outer perimeter of the enemy forces of the Black and White Eagle Alliance at the first and second command posts of Xidiao Camel will be launched in ten minutes!"
Hearing this, the remaining camel commanding officers were all taken by surprise, except for the one who had just been asked.
According to the previous plan, these Judges should have been used during the subsequent counterattack.
If the Black and White Eagle Alliance has just started a large-scale operation, what will they use for the counterattack now?
Thinking of these things, one of the camel commanding officers couldn't help but speak up, "Your Royal Highness, in my opinion, we should just abandon the first and second lines of defense and let the Black and White Eagle Village come in..."
"Teachers have said: 'Use space to buy time', we lack time now, as long as our J-20 pilots rest, we will be able to launch a counterattack officially, and it's unnecessary for us to directly confront them now..."
Just as the voice fell, another voice also chimed in: "That's correct, Your Royal Highness. While I was studying abroad at the teacher's place, he told me one thing: 'Save people and lose land, people and land are still there; save land and lose people, people and land are gone!'"
"Now that our aerial forces are completely suppressed, there is no benefit to us going up and confronting the Black and White Eagle Village head-on at this time..."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in silence, then fell into deep thought.
Even the camel commanding officer who was initially excited by Modalarhan's order was silent now.
When Modalarhan's order was first heard, no one was more excited than the Xidiao Camel commanding officer, after all, Modalarhan's order was to support them.
The first and second lines are their own homes for the Xidiao Camel commanding officer, and if they lose these lines, their homes will be inevitably exposed to the torment of the Black and White Eagle Alliance's coalition.
And Modalarhan's support may not be able to stop the enemy completely, but at least it can slow down the enemy's advance.
But then again, what good would delaying the enemy do?
They need to completely defeat the enemy, not engage in a tactics of delaying and consuming the enemy.
In terms of sheer numbers, they would definitely lose to the enemy.
After all, their enemies are the strongest village on Blue Star, there is no exception!
To fight a long-term war against enemies who have stronger capabilities, that is the most foolish behavior!
"Are all of you of the same opinion?"
In the midst of the silence, Modalarhan's voice resounded once more.
"……" Upon hearing this, everyone remained silent.
Seeing the situation, Modalarhan scanned the surroundings and fixed his gaze on the commander who had just spoken. "Sandorland commander is right. Teacher has taught us these military strategies, but teacher has also told us that no matter whether it's military strategy or something else, we must choose the right timing, adapt to local conditions and apply them flexibly."
"We indeed need to use space to buy time, but this does not mean we can do nothing but retreat again and again. The enemy is complacent and gathered in large numbers. This is a challenge for us, but it is also an opportunity!"
"We can absolutely take advantage of this opportunity, and then use the first and second lines of defense to heavily damage the enemy!"
"If they want to eat our defense lines, then let's see if they have the bite! Let's see if their stomachs can digest us!"
"As for the issue of our Judge drone consumption, there's no need to worry. In a matter of days, our Sky Eagles will once again soar across the desert skies, and then we will never have to worry about enemy aerial threats again. Similarly, we won't have to worry about a shortage of Judges!"
"I can reveal some information to you all. A few months ago, I purchased a total of ten million raw materials for Judge drones from Long Village. As long as we stabilize the situation on the battlefield, our Judges will never lack!"
Ten thousand Judge drones?
Upon hearing the number Modalarhan mentioned, the pupils of the present camel commanding officers involuntarily shrunk.
Even many people couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
They were all shocked by the number Modalarhan gave.
Ten thousand Judges is what concept?
During the "April Fool's Night", the Desert Camel only used 2,000 Judges drones, causing heavy losses to the Black and White Eagle Village!
Although that time it wasn't just the Judges drones' merit, apart from the Judges drones, there were also Falcon drones and anti-ship missiles.
But regardless, the deterrent power of the Judges drones is undeniable. These one-time, seemingly low-tech drones, even though they have been in existence for several months, are still a nightmare for villages like the Black and White Eagle.
And now, Modalarhan opens his mouth with ten million, so many Judges drones if they are all released together will cover the sky!
Even if they don't explode, they could still kill a lot of people by dropping down!
At the thought of this, many people shivered. However, after a brief shock, everyone became excited.
Ten million Judges drones!
Before they were worried about losing to the enemy in a war of attrition, but now with these ten million Judges drones as a bottom line, what are they afraid of?
With the J-20s and Tianlong Yinglong in the sky, and the Judges covering the ground, not to mention one Black and White Eagle village, even ten of them wouldn't scare them!
…………
Swoosh swoosh swoosh!!!
Bang bang bang!!!
At the first line of defense for Xidiao Camel, a series of piercing shrieks and deafening explosions were constantly sounding off in the defense lines.
After each shriek and explosion, there would be a series of large craters appearing on the ground.
Countless sand, stones, and concrete turned into powder under the enormous power of the air strikes.
Occasionally, splashes of crimson color would appear amidst the sand and stones.
That was the blood of the defense line guards who were unfortunately hit by the air strikes, even their body parts!
Although these guards had been ordered to take cover, it was clear that even the most fortified shelters could not completely withstand the relentless bombings.
Amidst the deafening explosion sounds, a series of piercing cries of agony were also echoing continuously.
"Commander, have we established contact with the command center? What did the command center say?"
At the heart of the defense line, a Xidiao Camel commander was anxiously asking the officer in front of him. The commander was inside a bunker buried several meters underground.
"The command center hasn't responded yet..."
In response to the question, the Xidiao Camel commander who was leading the way said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, the Xidiao Camel commander who had just asked was even more anxious: "Commander, the enemy has deployed a large number of aerial forces, including bombers that have been bombing us. Our defensive works have been severely damaged!"
"Their ground artillery has also joined the bombing campaign. Just now, we received news from the first line of defense that their defenses have been destroyed. The second line of defense has also been severely damaged. Our casualties are approaching a thousand, and if we continue like this, we cannot hold back the enemy's offensive! We need support!"
Air bombing, ground bombing!
This tactic has been used by the Black and White Eagle Village for decades.
The saying goes that a unique skill can make one a master. Even after decades, this tactic remains a formidable weapon on the battlefield.
Upon hearing the urgent voice of his subordinate commander, the Xidiao Camel commander also furrowed his brow with worry.
At this moment: "Report! Message from the command center!"
A voice erupted suddenly amidst the continuously trembling command center.
Upon hearing this, all the Xidiao Camel commanders present had a simultaneous change in expression.
The leading figure immediately asked: "What news?"
"The command center orders us to hold the line. Reinforcement forces will arrive in half an hour!"
The messenger responded immediately.
"Good!"
Upon hearing the messenger's voice, the leading commander's face immediately showed a look of excitement.
Other Xidiao Camel commanders around him also had the same expression.
"Pass my order! After the bombing ends, the enemy will definitely launch an offensive. Once the bombing is over, all units under the first line of defense must take up their battle positions. Our backs are our homes! Before reinforcements arrive, even if we are down to the last man, we must not allow an enemy step over our defenses!"
After a brief moment of excitement, the Xidiao Camel commander who was leading the way immediately issued a death order.
"Yes!"
Upon hearing the commander's order, everyone present immediately took it to heart, and then quickly turned around and left.
