As the saying goes, Lesser Cold is not as cold as Greater Cold, and the weather gradually becomes warmer after Greater Cold.

It is still unknown whether the weather will be warm after the Great Cold, but Heinrichsburg had several consecutive snowfalls during the Lesser Cold ten days ago. Since then, the weather has been mostly cloudy, and the snow has not completely melted to this day.

Today, January 19, the Great Cold, has arrived and although there has been no snow, it is extremely cold.

Whether it is Heinrichburg, Sunham Province or even the entire Delta Federation, today, they have all entered the coldest time of the year.

As a cold front passed by, the chill wind bit the skin, and even the brave and agile Gothic eagle temporarily stayed in its nest and no longer went out hunting. However, under the dark clouds and with the biting north wind, the Yan Army, which had come across thousands of miles of sea, set out at first light.

The artillery vehicles rolled over the frozen hard ground, the ice in the water pits creaked under the iron hooves, and ten infantry and armored divisions, carrying a thousand heavy mountain artillery, were divided into five groups and marched towards the 17-kilometer-long Heinrich Defense Line.

On this 17-kilometer-long defense line, there are many large fortresses and artillery towers. This is only the front-end of the defense line. Qin Ze, who is in the camp, has no idea how deep it is.

He did not send out the infantry and armored division on the march, but stayed in the base camp. He had no intention of going out until the entire Heinrich Defense Line was completely destroyed. In the camp, he only needed the signalmen to keep sending back messages, and then decide on additional troops and reinforcements depending on the battle situation.

Soon, it was eleven o'clock in the morning.

In the Heinrich military base occupying a high ground, most of the officers have been arranged to corresponding positions by Brewster, while Carter and Zoye, who had returned to the base just a few days ago, are still by Brewster's side. Brewster did not mobilize their troops, but kept them inside the base as a reserve force.

"Sir, the enemy is approaching us. They are divided into several groups. I think they will launch an attack soon." After receiving the news brought by the signalman, Staff Officer Jacob conveyed to Brewster.

Brewster stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the defense map hanging on the wall. After hearing Jacob's report, he turned around and said grimly:

"The artillery range of the Yan people is higher than ours. They will definitely attack from a long distance and attack in several groups. This is to test the weak points of our defense line."

After the words fell, Jacob nodded and said, "Yes."

"But there are no weak points in our defense. No matter where they launch probing attacks from along the front line, they cannot break through our barriers."

Major General Carter followed up by saying, “I wonder how many shells they will use to attack.”

Hearing this, Brewster snorted coldly and said, "It doesn't matter. If they have enough shells, just shoot at us."

"The more we use, the better. The more shells we consume, the smoother our subsequent counterattack will be."

"Wait until they......"

Just here, bang bang bang!

A burst of artillery fire sounded outside, and everyone in the combat command room looked solemn, but the sound of the artillery fire was still very far away from here. As long as the three lines of defense were not breached, there was no way the enemy's artillery shells could reach here.

Brewster, who heard the bombardment, remained calm and continued, "It came pretty fast."

"Pay attention to the defense between the fortresses. Have the people on the front line pay attention at all times and be alert to the enemy's attacks under the cover of long-range firepower."

"Once their troops charge and approach our artillery range, we will strike them immediately and never let them rush under the fortress."

"The explosion of explosives at the Macedonian military factory must not happen again here."

After Tachino returned to Heinrich with Zoye, Tachino told Brewster everything about the military factory being blown up by the Yan Army, which made Brewster cautious.

And at this moment, as his words came out, Jacob immediately agreed.

"Yes, sir! I have already given instructions in advance!"

Brewster's face was grim, and he continued, "Well, now we just have to wait and see how long their attack will last."

As he spoke, Brewster walked out of the combat command room, which was on the fourth floor of the fortress, with an extremely broad view. Brewster came to the balcony, took the telescope handed to him by Jacob, and looked towards the battlefield.

The sky, which was howling with gloomy winds just a moment ago, was now covered with a thin layer of smoke. The smoke did not come from one place, but began to spread upwards from the entire battle line.

In addition, although there is still a long distance from the front line, the sound of artillery fire heard here is still as dense as a summer thunderstorm.

"It's called a tentative attack, but isn't the noise a little too loud?" Zoya, who followed to the balcony, said with a frown.

"Don't they care about their ammunition reserves?"

Brewster said expressionlessly: "It's impossible not to care. I think they want to intimidate us from the beginning, and want to cause chaos within us, so as to make misjudgments."

Zoya followed up by saying, “They will definitely take one of the positions as the main attack direction in the end.”

"The bombardment shouldn't last too long, right? ...The amount of shells consumed is a bit scary. There must be seven or eight hundred artillery pieces? Or even more?"

Brewster did not answer Zoye's question. He was still looking at the front line. Amid the bombardment of countless artillery shells, the smoke spread faster and faster, which even made his vision gradually become blurred.

Even here, he could already smell the pungent smell of gunpowder.

"Such a large-scale bombardment should not last too long. Let's wait and see." Finally, Brewster put down the telescope and said firmly.

-

In the Enzo Mountains.

"Damn, those bastards acted so fast."

On a high point on a hill, soldiers were busy prying stones to build stone houses, while Harris was standing on a stone watching the movements below the mountain.

"Cough cough cough."

Dingle, wrapped in a large cotton coat, was beside Harris. However, he was coughing so hard that his face turned red and he couldn't even straighten his back. Even so, he still said breathlessly:

"The military base is... undergoing a test. I hope General Brewster and his men can stop the Yan people there..."

After the words fell, Harris turned his head to look at Dingle, and said expressionlessly: "But I don't think you have ever thought about it."

"As soon as we entered the Enzo Mountains, you asked us to keep looking for high points to build fortifications, but there are already six or seven basic fortifications here."

Hearing this, Dingle, with his hands on his knees, gasped and said, "Those fortifications are too old. They were built a few years ago and are almost useless. There are not enough of them. We need to use all the terrain that can be used for ambush to build fortifications."

Harris followed up with a cold voice: "You think the military base will be breached, right?"

Dingle shook his head, and just as he was about to speak, he felt like there were bugs crawling in his throat, and the itching made him cough uncontrollably.

Chilly wind blew across the mountain peaks, and Dingle's cough became more intense. Harris looked at him, sighed softly, then stepped forward and patted him on the back and said:

"Forget it, you should go back to the stone house first. It's too cold here."
