Chapter 1819 The Orc's Desperate Gamble
The dwarven resistance in the south is being attacked, and the orc resistance in the north is also being attacked.
The National Defense Forces stand in the middle and draw troops from both sides.
On one hand, they dispatched troops to wreak havoc on the orc resistance forces within the orc empire.
On one hand, they dispatched troops to ravage the dwarven resistance forces within the territory of the dwarven empire.
Despite being rebel groups, the National Defense Army did not discriminate between them based on their geographical location; on the contrary, it treated all rebel groups equally.
They will not discriminate against you or treat you differently just because you are a dwarf or of another race.
The national defense forces are always treated equally.
They won't target you just because they particularly dislike you.
The orcs in the north are under immense pressure right now.
The demonic resistance in the south can at least put up a fight.
The orc resistance forces in the north were now like dead fish.
The combined attack by the National Defense Forces made them unable to hold out.
Moreover, the National Defense Force's objective was to completely eradicate the orc resistance.
In order to completely wipe out the orc rebels, the National Defense Forces prepared more than 90 troops.
The purpose is to give these orcs a good workout and let them understand what the consequences of opposing the Great Yan are!
Immediately after the battle began, Guderian mobilized the troops at the front to complete the encirclement and division, while personally going down to command the soldiers.
After giving orders to the troops at the front, Guderian went directly to the front line in person.
He began directing the 1st Armored Division to advance rapidly.
The 1st Armored Division launched a lightning strike on the Orcish Empire's capital, attempting to forcibly rescue their trapped paratrooper comrades, but in the end, they only managed to recover their comrades' corpses.
At this moment, the First Armored Division's anger reached its peak.
Their anger stemmed not only from the enemy but also from the high-ranking military command.
However, the military headquarters has already been dealt with by Lyon.
For these soldiers of the National Defense Forces, all they can do now is vent their anger on these enemies.
The orc soldiers never imagined that they would be hated by the National Defense Force.
The First Armored Division did not choose to defend the Orcish Empire's capital.
Because they knew that the so-called capital of the Orcish Empire was nothing more than a giant living coffin.
After rebuilding the capital of the Orcish Empire, the provisional Orcish government did not place much importance on it.
To be precise, the entire capital of the Orcish Empire was flat and indefensible.
The capital of the Orcish Empire was originally protected by city walls, and in the era of cold weapons, it was qualified as the capital of the Orcish Empire.
However, in the context of modern warfare, such flat cities have become a major burden.
Cities like these, with no natural defenses, are very easy to crush by armored forces.
When the Orc Empire established this capital, it never imagined that the enemy would attack it.
Or perhaps they never imagined that the capital would be breached by a massive steel onslaught.
Their biggest fear was being driven to the capital by the Holy Empire's army.
But the Holy Empire's army also needed to besiege the city. They believed that with the orcs' overwhelming strength, they could defend it completely.
It is precisely because of this kind of thinking, coupled with the fact that the older generation has not all died out.
Most of the orc officials believed that the capital could continue to be the capital.
In fact, the only advantage of the Orc Empire's capital is that it has no shortage of water and food.
However, the nearest natural barrier to them is at least 6 kilometers away.
The nearest mountain range is more than 10 kilometers away from them.
Given this environment, no normal person would consider this place the capital.
However, the orcs insisted on making this their capital and repeatedly built upon it.
I never thought of giving up this region.
The National Defense Forces expressed respect for these orcs.
But respect is one thing.
After capturing the capital of the Orcish Empire, the National Defense Forces decisively chose to abandon it.
Staying here will only result in being blocked by the orcish resistance army.
Moreover, the orc resistance itself is not lacking in heavy firepower weapons.
They are not without long-range attack capabilities.
If the orcs were truly willing to lay bare their entire fortune.
They are capable of posing a certain threat to the National Defense Forces.
Over the years, Urus and the Orc Empire have not been without research into technology.
However, their technological advancements cannot compare to those of the National Defense Force.
The speed of technological advancement of the National Defense Forces is something the Orcs can never catch up with.
But the orcs did indeed try.
They tried every means to advance their technology.
Although we can't confront the National Defense Force head-on, as the saying goes, even a rabbit will bite when cornered.
The strength of the National Defense Forces exceeded their expectations.
However, they also possessed a certain amount of counter-attack capability.
At least they can fight back against the National Defense Force.
Unlike the dwarven rebels to the south.
After inheriting the legacy left by the Dwarven Empire, they made no effort whatsoever.
Their technology development has stagnated.
Due to their lack of ambition, their technology even began to regress, and many of the advanced technologies from the Dwarf Empire era were not passed down.
The dwarven resistance does have some armored units.
However, without exception, these armored units are becoming increasingly rare, with each one used being one less available. Otherwise, Ibelin would have already used them to fight the Wehrmacht.
Moreover, the main problem is that these weapons and equipment are not up to standard.
Or rather, compared to the tanks of the National Defense Force, these dwarf war chariots were utterly tiny.
The National Defense Forces don't even need steel needles, or even armor-piercing bullets; a single high-explosive shell can shatter all these little peas.
The tiny tank couldn't escape being crushed by the National Defense Force.
Therefore, Ibelin never placed his hopes on the tanks left by his ancestors.
Compared to these useless tanks, the camel riders played a certain role.
But it only had a slight effect.
When facing the National Defense Forces, Ibelin and his men often suffered more casualties than they could inflict damage on them.
Ibelin's original idea was to use these camel riders to try and reduce the casualty ratio with the Wehrmacht to 1:1.
But now the casualty ratio is as high as 4:1.
Even though there were more than 5000 camel riders in total.
However, their national defense forces total more than 5 people.
Moreover, the National Defense Forces are rapidly increasing their troop numbers.
The growth rate of camel riders could not keep up with the recruitment rate of the National Defense Force.
The military headquarters of the National Defense Forces only needs one order.
They could easily mobilize 100,000 to 200,000 troops to reach the Dwarven Empire.
50,000 National Defense Army soldiers were enough to overwhelm 200,000 to 300,000 rebels.
The National Defense Forces currently have at least 300,000 to 400,000 troops available.
If the military is determined to transfer all three or four hundred thousand troops to participate in the war.
At that time, the entire resistance will completely collapse.
Therefore, Ibelin was trying to find ways to narrow the gap in troop strength between the two sides.
However, Ibelin alone could not have accomplished all of this.
Ibelin is not a god; he cannot change everything.
He could not change the reality of the dwarven resistance's backwardness, nor could he change the reality of the National Defense Force's strength.
The only thing he can do now is to use his command skills to narrow the gap between the dwarven resistance and the National Defense Force.
Man proposes, God disposes.
All Ibelin could do was try his best and leave the rest to fate.
He was willing to give his all to command.
I only ask that we fight for the dwarves' last chance to survive!
