Only two battalions were left of the defenders of the 1st Division, and the defense area was expanded by 60 miles, so it was no wonder that the city could not be defended
In the years of beacon fire, Iron Wall City, as a strategic location, has always been the focus of contention between the two sides. The city was unusually strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the unity of the army and civilians in the city made the enemy's repeated attacks unsuccessful. Originally, it was a well-equipped and well-trained 1st Division defender who defended Iron Wall, but under the brutal attrition of the war, the situation gradually changed.
As the battle dragged on, the higher authorities made a surprising decision: to send most of the defenders from Ironwall to other battlefields to support. General Lee, as the commander of the Iron Wall City, was full of struggle in the face of this order. He knew that this meant that the garrison of the Ironwall City would be greatly weakened, and the enemy might use this opportunity to launch a more violent attack.
However, the military order was like a mountain, and General Lee had to carry it out. He personally selected two of the most elite battalions to stay, hoping that they would hold on to the city. But what he didn't expect was that a more severe test was yet to come. While the higher-level departments were deploying troops, they also demanded that the defense area of Tiebi City be expanded by 60 miles. This meant that the already stretched defenders would need to spread out over a wider area, and the defenses would become weaker.
General Lee was well aware of the gravity of the situation, but he had no choice. He immediately summoned the remaining soldiers and conveyed the news to them. Although the soldiers were full of worries, they all understood that this was the duty of a soldier. They quickly adjusted their defensive strategies, strengthened the repair of the city walls and the setting of traps, and strengthened patrols and vigilance in the city.
However, the cruelty of the war was far beyond their imagination. Taking advantage of the lack of strength of the defenders and the excessively large defensive area, the enemy launched an even more fierce attack. Using advanced weaponry and tactical means, they launched a series of attacks on the Iron Wall City. Each attack cost the defenders dearly, but they held their ground and did not allow the enemy to move forward.
In a fierce battle, General Lee personally led a death squad to storm the city walls. They fought to the death against the enemy, building a line of defense with their own flesh and blood. However, under heavy enemy fire, General Lee and many of his soldiers fell in a pool of blood. Although they resisted hard, they eventually got bogged down due to insufficient troops and an oversized defense area.
As the battle continued, the walls of the city were gradually breached by the enemy. The defenders engaged in street fighting in the city, but due to the disparity in strength, they soon fell into the encirclement of the enemy. In the end, under a fierce charge from the enemy, the city was completely lost.
This battle has left a profound warning to the world: in war, the importance of troop deployment and strategic decision-making is self-evident. If the defenders expand their defensive area despite insufficient troops, it will be difficult to withstand enemy attacks, which will eventually lead to the loss of the city. At the same time, it also reminds us that in the face of difficulties and challenges, we should make wise decisions and actions based on the actual situation, rather than blindly pursuing expansion and risk-taking.
Although the loss of the Iron Wall City is a tragedy, it also shows us the cruelty and ruthlessness of war. We should cherish peace, stay away from war, and resolve disputes and conflicts through peaceful means. Only in this way can we create a better future together.
Now, when we look back at that period of history, we can't help but ask: if the defenders had not been so badly drawn in the first place, and if the defense area had not been expanded so much, would the Iron Wall City have been able to hold it? We may not be able to give a definite answer, but this question is worth pondering and exploring. It reminds us that we need to keep a clear head and make wise decisions at all times in order to deal with complex and volatile situations.
