After the troops returned to the town of Wick, they felt temporarily at peace.
Although battles still broke out from time to time in the town of Wick, they were all small-scale infantry battles.
Sometimes the infantry can simply call for support from the artillery behind them and the battle will be almost resolved.
The mecha troops were temporarily idle.
Other locations in the Dan'an area were also gradually captured, and the enemy's main force had already fled. Although some of them did not escape successfully, they were attacked by Li Xin and his men.
Currently, only the 122nd Brigade and a small part of the 214th Brigade are still in the Dan'an area, with a total of no more than two thousand light infantry.
These soldiers don't even have armored vehicles, and their only means of transportation may be military jeeps and trucks.
Even many soldiers use civilian pickup trucks for transportation.
Their heavy firepower currently only consists of anti-tank guns used by infantry, anti-tank missiles, and a small number of howitzers.
In contrast, the attacking Heng'an Defense still has two infantry brigades and two armored regiments, totaling more than 10,000 troops.
As for the other infantry brigade, since the roads had been opened, they set out directly from the roads to support the defensive positions in the town of Wick.
This also gave the 69th Mechanized Brigade, which had been defending the town of Wick, a sigh of relief, and allowed them to arrange for the soldiers to begin rotating rest.
The attacking force directly used mechas to clear the way, and the enemy's defensive positions could be described as collapsing at the first touch under the attack of the mechas.
The morale of these remaining troops was not very high to begin with, and they were waiting to be able to withdraw.
Now the first batch of evacuated troops have turned into ketchup, and more than half of the armored vehicles have been destroyed. There is no chance of evacuation this time.
Many soldiers began to surrender in large numbers, sometimes even killing the supervisory teams and officers behind them, and then surrendered in large numbers.
It didn't take too long before there was almost no enemy resistance in the Dan'an area, and the only unit still resisting fled into the city of Dan'an.
This force may want to engage in street fighting or carry out underground resistance in Dan'an City.
But their idea was wrong. The entire essence of Dan'an area was in this city.
In order to get this piece of cake, the soldiers from Heng'an Defense and Blueprint had no intention of letting them go, and directly sent an entire infantry brigade into the area.
For the people of Dan'an City, this battle was fought too quickly. In less than two weeks, several brigades of troops were wiped out.
It’s not that no one wants to escape from the city, but sometimes you have to have the opportunity to escape.
In a normal war situation, fighting should start on the front line, then the people in the city begin to evacuate, and the population slowly begins to move to the rear, that is, the Kavamo area.
In the end, the entire Dan'an city turned into a huge battlefield, a complete street fighting battlefield.
Every town, every village, every settlement, and even every high ground in the Dan'an area will become a key point of contention between the two sides.
But this time it was not normal, because Blueprint and Heng'an Defense directly attacked the town of Vick and took over this logistics hub.
This logistics hub is not only used by the military. The railways and highways in the Dan'an area all pass through the town of Vick.
Now the town of Vick has directly become a war zone, and the people in the Dan'an area have no chance to escape from the war zone and flee to the rear.
Most people were trapped inside the city, while a small number fled outside the city and temporarily settled outside the settlements.
Because they were worried that the final battle would turn into street fighting and turn Dan'an City into a battlefield.
As a result, the changes in the battle once again exceeded everyone's expectations. The defenders in the Dan'an area were directly defeated. The battle lasted no more than two weeks from the beginning to the end.
The duration of this resistance was shorter than that of the previous Behemoth Steel Plant.
The main defending forces either fled or were annihilated.
Large-scale street fighting can no longer be carried out, and there is no chance of small-scale street fighting.
In Dan'an City, the real upper class people who were able to escape had already fled in air vehicles.
The rest are middle and lower class residents. They have nowhere to escape. If street fighting breaks out at this time, they will lose the houses and jobs they bought with great effort.
Therefore, when the retreating remnants of the army entered Dan'an City, the imagined scene of the residents being easily mobilized did not occur.
On the contrary, after the attacking Heng'an Defense 76th Brigade entered the city, someone quickly came up and reported the location of the retreating remnants.
As for the fate of these soldiers, it goes without saying that a few hundred remnants with poor morale could not make any waves when facing a battle against an entire infantry brigade.
After completely annihilating this force, the combat objectives of the Blueprint Dispatch Force and Heng'an Defense were completely achieved.
Not only did they kill the enemy's defensive forces, but they also captured the Dan'an area with a population of over one million.
In many cases, population is a burden, but at the same time, it is also an important asset.
However, these things have nothing to do with Li Xin for the time being. He is just an ordinary soldier now.
Just a large mecha cannon fodder.
The fighting in the Dan'an area has temporarily come to a halt. An entire engineering unit has already marched from the railway and highway to the town of Vick.
Their mission is to continue expanding and repairing the fortifications here, turning it into a well-defended stronghold-type town.
The second mecha squadron where Li Xin was located also had the opportunity to change guard.
Because of the series of fierce combat missions, they suffered heavy losses in manpower, and the mecha division also needed rest, so they were transferred back to the rear for rest.
The third squadron was also transferred back with them, and this squadron also suffered heavy casualties.
As for the one who took over their garrison mission, it was the 5th Squadron. After all, garrison is not an attack.
There is no need for so many mecha troops.
Among the dispatched troops, there are a total of five squadrons of mechas, and now three squadrons are arranged to take a temporary rotation to rest and replenish troops.
After packing up his equipment, Li Xin drove the mecha to the train station at the foot of the mountain in Vick Town.
This railway station hub is relatively well preserved.
During the attack, the mechas directly stormed and captured the place, and when they were defending, the Milda Knights still wanted to continue using the railway after capturing the town of Vic.
Therefore, the train station was not bombed by air raids or artillery fire, and it can almost be regarded as the only clean land around the town of Wick.
