In September 856, the covenant signed by Annkin and the Republic of Negro did not cause too much reaction as Gastens speculated. The Third Republic of Vern and the Arund Empire seemed to have lost interest in this matter. The Republic of Negro relaxed restrictions on Annkin's steam equipment, began to import steam equipment, and exported light industrial products to Annkin. For a moment, the whole world seemed to be farther away from the clouds of war. However, no matter which country, it was known that Annkin's communist alliance and the capitalism and feudal imperialism of this world would inevitably not coexist. And the only reason why it can coexist now is that the three major countries have not yet found a good way to deal with Annkin's.

The iron front of the steel, wearing a lieutenant general's uniform and majestic weapon, General Gukohein Foster pushed open the door of the conference room and saw the twinkling stars of the generals in the room. He nodded slightly at the eyes that looked at him and walked to the middle of the conference room. Behind him, the military flag and national flag of the Alang Empire hung cross-hanging, making the entire conference room solemn and solemn.

"Everyone, I am very happy that everyone can come and I am very happy to lead this battle. It is no exaggeration to say that this battle, we bet on the reputation of the Alangte Empire and the fate of the entire world capitalism. Everyone knows that two months ago, Ankenry defeated the army of the Niglu Republic and won over the seven small principalities on their borders to establish the Ankenry Communist League. This is a very dangerous signal, a signal of Ankenry's expansion of the outside world due to communism. And our allies, whether it is the Niglu Republic or the Third Republic of Vern, are very dissatisfied with our attitude towards watching the show later.

.So, we must show our strength through this military operation, defeat the enemy's armored troops, so that people in this world can see that Ankenryin's army is not invincible. Only in this way can we put continuous pressure on Ankenryin in military affairs and make this restless communist country settle. So, although it is only a small-scale battle, we have concentrated the most elite troops in the country and prepared more than 200 hunter tanks and slaughter chariots. Our purpose is to prove that our Aronte Empire is still the strongest country in the world!"

"oh!"

The generals present all knocked on their chests and shouted. Gucohein Foster looked at the officers in front of him and smiled with relief. He turned around and asked the soldiers to move the latest map and start explaining.

"This time we gathered three armies of the Imperial 9th ​​Army, the 10th Army and the 11th Army, with a total of 60,000 people, which is equivalent to one of the enemy's corps. The armored combat forces are independently organized into the 117th Armored Warring States, which is also the most powerful armor force we can take now. According to our intelligence, the enemy's army responsible for the ice defense line is the Fourth Corps of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army. The backbone of this legion is the Second Corps of the Military Reclamation Army during the Elena Base period, not the most powerful Corps of the enemy. The commander of this legion, Domnar Byrne, is not the most famous generals of Elena. And there is only one giant beast warship group, about fifty giant beast tanks. These are the greatest support our front-line intelligence department can give us."

Gukohein stood in front of the generals from the three armies and the 117th Armored War Group and talked happily. Since his conversation with His Majesty the Emperor two months ago, he has gained the trust and support of His Majesty and was able to prepare for such a war. Everyone present was his Majesty's carefully selected pro-war faction, and he was very eager to defeat Ankenrien.

"So, in terms of force, our infantry number is almost the same, the number of armored war teams is four times that of the enemy, and they still have a greater advantage. The reason why we do not invest more troops is that we do not want to turn this war into a full-scale war, but that if we lose, the enemy has an excuse to counterattack the land of the Arand Empire. So, I hope you all understand that we have received the greatest support we can get when launching this battle, and what remains is our personal efforts."

"General Gukohein", commander of the 117th Armored Corin Ridley, smiled, "Sir, you have given us such excellent conditions. If we can't win, it's really our own reasons."

Gukohein nodded at Colin Ridley, "That's the reason, so I hope you can come on. Now, I will start to arrange the details of this glacier defense line battle. I hope you will understand carefully and welcome you to ask questions at any time."

Speaking of this, the generals knew that they had finally reached the meat show, one by one, and one by one was more serious. Gucohein Foster smiled and turned around and began to explain his ideas on the map. He knew that under the current situation, this local war with Ankenrien would be his last chance to show himself.

——————————

November is winter for Ankenrien, and on the east side of Ankenrien, this season will become colder. The Fourth Corps of the Workers and Peasants Revolutionary Army, which is responsible for guarding the glacier defense line, stationed the military headquarters and main troops on the south side of Onbor Province, about twenty kilometers away from the glacier. This position is convenient for support and can leave some strategic buffer for itself. At the same time, according to the instructions of Gastens and the Communist Party's Council, the Fourth Corps tried many new methods and new measures on the defense of the glacier defense line. However, the enemy on the opposite side also seemed to know that the glacier defense line was not easy to fight. After the signing of the August Covenant, he did not even fart on the border, which disappointed the Fourth Corps, who was eager to fight.

When Gukohein Foster launched the attack, it happened to be the commander of the Fourth Legion, Domnar Byrne, returned to the capital of Onborg Province for vacation. The entire glacier defense line was temporarily under the responsibility of Chief of Staff Gleason Warren. When the news of the enemy's attack reached the command center, it was already half an hour after the battle began.

"The First Division, the Second Division quickly reinforced, the Third Division, and the Fourth Division were preparing for combat, notified the Third Behemoth Group and the Legion Commander Domnar Byrne to send a letter to Roswell, a military emergency!"

Both Domnar Byrne and Gleason Warren are mentally prepared for their opponents, Gucohein Foster, both Domnar Byrne and Gleason Warren. This person is not a person who speculates with common sense. He has a radical personality and likes to take risks. Although it is a very dangerous time to start the war in November, Ankenriin did not relax his vigilance. Sure enough, Gucohein took action.

After giving the order, Gleason Warren began to march with the First Division and the Second Division and quickly marched towards the enemy's landing site. Judging from the current intelligence, the enemy chose two landing sites, and the number of troops invested may exceed 40,000. This put great pressure on the Fifth Division and the Sixth Division, which are responsible for border defense. At these two ferries that are most suitable for crossing the river, the two troops have to face twice their enemies, and the situation is not easy.

When Gleason Warren and the First Division and the Second Division arrived at the front line position that had been prepared, they encountered the Fifth Division that had retreated from the edge of the glacier. Gleason called Taren Warren, the commander of the Fifth Division, and asked about the situation.

"The enemy launched an attack at dawn. At that time, it was the time when everyone was most trapped. Most of the soldiers were resting, and only the two regiments on the rotating were awake. Fortunately, the alarm device we set up on the river surface played a role, giving us the initial reaction time. The head's steam machine gun, anti-landing pile forest and barbed wire fence prevented the enemy's advancement well, and we caused great damage to the enemy by the river. Afterwards, an enemy unit landed from the thorny river beach and went around us. It was not suitable for landing, so it was not prepared enough. In order to prevent being surrounded, we retreated to the Yonggu Defense Line and planned to establish a sniper position here."

"The enemy landed from the Thorny River Beach?"

Gleason Warren was a little surprised. He knew about the place called Thorn River Beach. He had almost no landing conditions and did not know how the enemy did it. However, since he had done it, he had to find a way to deal with it. In his opinion, Taren Warren's command was a bit conservative. The river beach position was the first line of defense to prevent the enemy from landing. He gave up so easily, allowing the enemy to gather on the north bank of the ice river and prepare for war. The subsequent battles would be difficult to fight.

"You did a good job, but retreated a little faster. In fact, if you can work with the Sixth Division, you may be able to give the enemy a bigger sniper on the river bank. However, it doesn't matter. The Fifth Division, which is fully reserved, can also play a role. In this way, the permanent defense line will be left to you and Chelding Warren. Make a good defense and don't let the enemy break through our defense line. I have notified the Behemoth War Group that according to the combat readiness regulations, they will arrive in the afternoon, so hold on!"

The combat readiness regulations were well aware of Gleason Warren, Taren Warren and the commander of the 1st Division, Chelding Warren. The two simply formulated a defensive plan and put into work. Gleason Warren, chief of staff of the Fourth Corps, led the guards of the military headquarters to the defense line of the 6th Division. According to intelligence, the 6th Division was still sticking to it.

Although the glacier defense line is called a glacier, it never freezes. The river water is biting cold for three quarters of the year. If you accidentally fall into the water when crossing the river, you will lose your life due to low temperatures soon. Therefore, in this battle between the river, the defense is not easy to fight, and the offensive is also not easy to fight.

When Gleason and his guard entered the guard position of the Sixth Division, the position was already surrounded. He and his guard used the short-term large firepower of the Leiming and Luoshan Types to open up a path. The 6th Division, who had already prepared, fought and retreated through this path, left the river beach position, and returned to the Yonggu defense line with Greenson.

"How is it, isn't it okay?"

On the way to retreat, Gleason couldn't wait to start asking the commander of the 6th Division, Dilakki Warren, about the combat situation. The enemy's attack came suddenly, and a lot of information had not yet been able to fight. Gleason needed to have as comprehensive understanding of the battle situation as possible.

"The enemy is the 9th Army, the ace force of the Alangte Empire. This time the opponent spent a lot of money, and the Gukohein Foster was back. The captive we caught told us that he was now commanding the entire battle. According to him, the number of people crossing the river has exceeded one hundred thousand, and their military goal is to split the province of Onborg."

"Hundreds of thousands?"

Gleason felt pressure. If it was 100,000, he might have to ask Roswell for help. Although the 60,000 revolutionary soldiers in his hands were OK, he did not have rich combat experience. Facing the enemy's limited combat goals, it might be a great price to delay or stop them.

"If the prisoners are given a discount, but even if the discount is given, it is estimated that there will be 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers this time. This is not a small number. Considering that there are less than two months before the deep winter, they definitely hope to end the battle and consolidate the territory before this. So our goal is to prevent them from achieving their goals."

In less than a minute, Gleason calmed down. It was common for both sides to brag about their troops during the war. He was not unfamiliar with him and quickly found a countermeasure strategy. "We will rely on the Yonggu Defense Line to fight with them to see their fighting will and equipment. If the loss is large, open a hole to put them in, and then use the Giant Beast Warrior Group to encircle and annihilate them. With the Giant Beast Warrior Group, we have to cooperate well and not make mistakes, there will be no problem."

"Yes, Chief of Staff, I think so too," said Dinlaki Warren, commander of the 6th Division, nodded, "Our Sixth Division has not suffered much loss. We can continue to fight. Please let us continue to fight!"

"Okay, you are responsible for the position east of Yonggu Defense Line. Be careful not to let the enemy go around. Although the mountains and forests on both sides of Yonggu Defense Line are dense and not suitable for passing, there are risks if the enemy forces it to go around."

"I understand, the commander of the Legion, there are people on those two mountains. They have signal measures themselves, and we also have a reconnaissance team there, so we won't let the enemy be too relaxed."

"This cannot be entirely dependent on the masses. The impact of war on them is too great. In the war zone, they must be careful about safety." Gleason reminded him a few words and asked about the details of the battle. Dilaki called several company commanders who participated in the direct confrontation, and walked and chatted with Gleason, gradually gained some understanding of the enemy this time. After that, Dilaki and Gleason said goodbye to manage their own troops. Gleason immediately thought about the war, and after a while, they returned to the Yonggu Defense Line.

I hope that this time, I can maintain Ankenry's usual unbeaten image and make the enemy unable to bear it.
Chapter completed!
