"The front has been broken through, detonate the dynamics!"

Just a few hours after the assault had launched, the order to detonate the dynamite had been sent. 

A huge explosion created the hole as how it was expected.

However, it lost its function as it should, except that it still delayed the attack for a while, as it only works when the first line is still operational.

Huge holes that were formed by the explosion were quickly crossed by the chaos creature, not filling with body, but forming one bridge after another with the stream of chaos.

 "Tell me something good!"

At the moment, Akhromeyev is frustrated, looking at the map.

No one can give him an answer.

They have known that the north and centre part has been broken through the second line due to the sudden attack, as the line is also on the verge of breaking.

What is even worse is that they have lost contact with the southern group; they have no idea what is happening there.

Another few hours later, Chief of Staff Varennikov came to him with the latest report.

"Comrade Marshal, I have some bad news and only one good news."

"The 2nd line in the north can't hold anymore, it will be lost in another couple of hours. The defenders in the 3rd line are preparing, but I worry time may not be enough."

"In the centre, the situation there is the most stable among the three lines, it is a meat grinder there, pure blood and iron. Another two reserve armies have been sent there two hours ago."

"Things in the south are the most complicated ones. Our fighters and reconnaissance planes have gone there to observe, and our men are fighting against us. According to a few commissar who survives, we believe it might be some kind of mind or illusion creation magic affecting us."

"Good things about the south are that it is the progress of getting broken through by the chaos is the slowest, but they are stable, and we are still unable to find a way to counter it."

"The other good news from the other two lines, despite our ground forces suffering heavy losses, our air force has already gained the air superiority, they are providing air support in full force, mopping out the enemy like it's target practice."

Listened to Varennikov's words, Akhromeyev remained frowning, despite there is strong air support, but if the ground forces could not gain the advantage with it, in the end, nothing would be different.

"Report to Moscow, we need more reinforcement."

"How many? "

"Ask for 5 million personnel."

Varennikov remained silent for a while, but still followed Akhromeyev's orders.

"We also need reinforcement from Plainspire. I believe some of them that remain here have gone to the south for inspection, but they are not enough, ask more of them to come over."

"Yes, Marshal."

They are still using conventional weapons now, but if things go bad, then they will only be used back the nuclear and vacuum imploder. But before that, they will have to figure out the situation on each frontline. 

Experience against the undead already shows that these strategic weapons are mainly used as a weapon to delay the assault; most of the job will still need to be done by conventional or chemical weapons by the ground forces.

After giving the order, Akhrmoyev asked for another thing.

"How about the king? They still claimed that they had known nothing about this?"

"Yes, General Chernov is in charge of the interrogation himself. Most probably, they know nothing about the changes."

24 hours after the assault, the 2nd line of defence has all lost. The chaos has pushed through to the 3rd line. The 3rd line was the first line that was built around cities.

The main function of the line is to make sure that all the cities are not surrounded by enemies and are able to support each other.

These cities also act as the logistics and army assembly location, in some points it may be more convenient for the Red Army to conduct their defence.

When it comes to cities, the way that the chaos fight has also changed; they have changed their strategy and tactics before. Instead of fighting themselves, they start to launch their attack in coordination. 

After the first few waves of unsuccessful attack in front of the cities, where, after breaking through 2 lines, the density of chaos has slightly decreased. The superior firepower of the Red Army blocks the chaos' full-range assault all over the front line.

The chaos now started to assemble and assault the gap between the cities. First, Tzeentch will launch the Hallucinogenic Attack on the Red Army, causing them to fight against each other. 

Then, the Khorn army, which mainly uses fire, will join the battle. They produce smoke to block the sight from the air, blocking the Soviet aircraft from providing air support.

Under coordination, it means that at least part of the original Red Army will be fighting alongside the chaos creature against their comrades.

A similar situation also happens in the gap between the north and the centre.

Unfortunately, this is just the beginning; an even worse situation happens in the south at the dwarfs' land.

Most of the dwarf land was not too much affected by the chaos during these hours, even in the first few months of the chaos invasion in history. However, things have changed. Thus, there are not many Red Army garrisons and fortifications to be built here.

The originally calm sea suddenly split in half. The first to rush out of the sea was the Lord of Chaos in the form of a dragon, whose huge body blocked the sunlight and cast a shadow over the earth.

Following him is his immortal army, and Slaanesh with his army. Compare his immortal army at the beginning, they have already built up their skeleton, and meat is also growing, once it is complete, they will have their reborn.

They reached the shore without encountering any resistance. And they started their march towards the Eldario, the heart of the elf kingdom, and also the command post of the whole Red Army.
