Duque persuaded Old Chen and Shaohao to let Shenzhen take the risk to participate in the first wave of attack, provided that the Alliance successfully controlled the beachhead.
The pandaren didn't want his old friend to take the risk, but this was a war involving all the creatures in Azeroth. Even the always-kind turtle couldn't stay out of it.
Therefore, Shenzhen's huge turtle back was full of the Alliance's mechanized troops. Two full assault tank divisions were the Alliance's killing machine to attack the Burning Legion's position.
Almost as soon as Shenzhen approached the Broken Beach and sent out a signal that he couldn't get any closer, the Alliance's engineers quickly put down the trestle that had been prepared in advance and put it on Shenzhen's back all the way to the beach.
Tens of thousands of mechanized troops marched on the Broken Beach.
Their participation directly suppressed the Burning Legion's counterattack. A large number of armored troops, under the cover of the flying fleet in front, occupied the entire Broken Beach in just twelve hours.
This laid a firm foundation for the arrival of the second 'island'.
It was a mobile fortress fixed on more than eleven thousand pontoons and floating cabins, covering an area of more than one square kilometer. Its shape was an octagonal fort up to nine stories high, and now only had a reinforced concrete foundation structure.
Even if the unnecessary structure was repeatedly cut, the total weight still exceeded thirty-six thousand tons.
Yes, the Alliance did have flying fortresses like Naxxramas and the Dalajan. But in a super-modern war, the importance of strongholds was self-evident.
Naxxramas, which didn't land, was like the sword of Damocles, hanging high above the heads of the demons. Moreover, the flying fortresses also undertook the task of mobile support, so it was best not to use the two ready-made flying fortresses as the military fulcrum of the Broken Islands.
In history, after the third Dark Portal, the courageous Dalaran had acted as the forward base in every war, from the world of ice and snow in Northrend to the Broken Archipelago.
In this life, Du Bois had changed history significantly, so the Dalajan had to bear much less pressure.
After the Dalajan moved to the west side of the Broken Beach to act as a barrier, blocking the counterattack of the flying Apocalypse Guard army, Naxxramas began to help transport the mobile fortress to the Broken Beach.
More than 18,000 steel cables hung from the square Naxxramas, and after fixing the cables, they almost hoisted the entire mobile stronghold.
It was said to be 'almost' because among the four major elemental realms, the Earth Elemental Realm, the only one that did not undertake the task of outer atmosphere defense, had undertaken this advancement.
The children and servants of the Stonemother, Therazane, commanded over ten thousand Earth Elementals. They used their sturdy and powerful arms to carry the entire mobile fortress from the shallow waters to the shore.
The Earth Elemental Army cast their unique earth magic and flattened the uneven ground on the broken beach in just an hour.
The huge fortress came crashing down.
Place the prefabricated steel column in the reserved cavity and pour cement over it to seal it. Like a swarm of ants, a large number of carriers on the sea and in the air swarmed to the fortress and covered the fortress with a metal deck and magic protection.
Normally speaking, it wouldn't be strange for such a massive fort to take ten years to build in the olden era.
But with the help of Duque's modern management methods, black technology, and the extremely magical Earth Elemental Army, the fortress was formed in just three days.
The Alliance officially named this forward operating base as [Fort Courage]!
That's right! It really took courage to fight against the endless demons of the Burning Legion with a mortal body.
Now it seemed that the entire Alliance did a better job than everyone thought.
Sal stood on the side of a 230-meter-long flying battleship and looked at the majestic city two kilometers away that seemed to be changing every moment. He felt a lot of emotions.
"Did you see that? Old friend, I have imagined countless times – if I had suppressed the opposition in the tribe and did not hand over the authority to Garrus, would the tribe still exist … Obviously, the answer is no. "
Wo Jin came over and glanced at the [Frost Wolf] flying ship that the Alliance had specially built for Sal, and he also felt emotional.
The incomparably majestic flying battleship was equipped with the Alliance's ultimate 460mm cannon, as well as the latest [Eagle Strike] missiles.
Unfortunately, the Orcs had a natural weakness when it came to operating high-tech weapons. Sal had put in a lot of effort to force this group of guys who would rather charge at the demons with axes and die to receive new knowledge and new weapons.
Wo Jin secretly sighed and said, "The era of the Horde ended six years ago. As long as we survive this battle, Azeroth will usher in the era of the Grand Alliance. If we don't want to be destroyed, we should take advantage of the other side's goodwill and become a part of them … I never thought that our decision to join the Alliance was a mistake. "
"Yes!" Sal had infinite emotions.
The battle between the Alliance and the Burning Legion continued.
The Broken Islands in the middle of the Endless Sea of Azeroth had several huge areas. The Alliance was able to obtain a strategic fulcrum on the Broken Beach, which was the lowest altitude and the most convenient to occupy. This was undoubtedly a very gratifying step.
With this Courage Fortress that originally did not exist in history, the Alliance could unscrupulously set up artillery positions in the Broken Beach area. Because of the increasing terrain restrictions of the Broken Islands, the artillery range of the ships on the sea would be greatly affected.
This kind of fixed artillery position that could use 800mm railway guns was the favorite of artillerymen.
With the initial success of the war, there was also a voice within the Alliance.
"Hahahaha! The demons of the Burning Legion are nothing more than this! "
"Counterattack! The Alliance should counterattack into the Twisted Nether and hit the legion's nest. "
Most of the people who said this were low-level staff officers who had a good background or family education, had just graduated from military academies, and had a higher starting point than ordinary soldiers. Of course, there were also a few soldiers who took the lead.
For this kind of brainless idiot who fooled their own people and encouraged more people to follow them to die, there were too many of them.
For example, in World War I, when the British army first saw machine guns, the brainless British commander felt that he did not send enough soldiers. As a result, he sent more soldiers to die in an attempt to use up the enemy's machine gun bullets with their flesh and blood.
For this kind of idiot, Duque directly transferred all the guys who talked nonsense to the Broken Beach front line. Within three days, more than half of these idiots died, and then they fell silent.
The defending side would always be on the passive side.
When the Burning Legion found that the hard bone of Azeroth was as difficult to bite as ever, the entire legion began to adjust.
