Warlords: Rise of the System

Chapter 218: Counterattack 2

There are only a few enemies left, but this does not mean that the attack will be easy. On the contrary, because they are few in number and scattered, the difficulty of the attack is greatly increased.

At this time, if we continue to use vehicle-mounted multiple rocket launchers to bomb it.

Not only will it fail to achieve the expected results, it may also cause waste of resources and unnecessary losses, which is really not worth the cost.

With the help of the blazing fire, Lu Tianhao quickly deployed his operations. He placed many 150mm caliber howitzers and ordered his soldiers to launch fierce artillery bombardment on the remaining enemies.

With loud bangs, artillery shells rained down on the enemy positions.

However, despite the continuous falling of shells, the remaining enemy soldiers were not easily eliminated.

Most of the enemy soldiers managed to avoid the bombardment with their agility and excellent tactical skills.

Faced with this situation, Lu Tianhao did not rashly send troops to launch a charge, but chose to wait patiently for the dawn.

During this period, he had successfully established close contact with his own troops hiding in the cave.

Once dawn breaks, the two teams will cooperate tacitly and attack from two directions at the same time, encircling the remaining enemies in front and giving them a fatal blow.

The sudden attack launched by Lu Tianhao under the cover of night was like a blockbuster bomb, and the news was quickly transmitted back to the command center in Kyoto Prefecture.

This sudden change instantly broke the seemingly impregnable defense system.

At the same time, it also completely disrupted the strategic layout carefully planned by the bandits and the commanders of the multinational coalition forces.

The Kyoto Prefecture conference room was shrouded in darkness, the lights were on, and the atmosphere was tense and solemn.

Everyone sat together with gloomy faces, their hearts filled with anxiety and uneasiness.

At this moment, Brady, who had been silent all the time, suddenly raised his head, his sharp eyes swept over everyone present, and he was the first to break the deadlock.

"Where on earth did this surprise force come from?

It's so easy to disrupt our entire plan!

No matter what, we must not let this mysterious force successfully rescue the National Salvation Army trapped in the cave!

You know, a crucial person is hidden in that cave—the commander-in-chief of the National Salvation Army!

If we let it escape, all our efforts will be in vain!"

His words were like a heavy hammer striking everyone's heartstrings, making the atmosphere in the room even more depressing.

Everyone knew that if the enemy's actions were not stopped in time, the consequences would be disastrous.

However, faced with the complex situation before them, everyone was at a loss for a moment and didn't know how to deal with it.

Kitahara Xiu frowned and spoke with a worried look on his face.

"The current situation has changed dramatically. It is no longer just a question of whether the National Salvation Army in the cave can be rescued!

More importantly, whether our troops responsible for besieging the cave can evacuate the battlefield safely!

According to the battle reports sent back from the front, our main force that encircled the cave from the front was almost wiped out, and only a few thousand brave men were still fighting desperately.

The enemy's fierce bombardment on them never stopped. Judging from this situation, when dawn came, the thousands of remaining people would probably not be able to escape the disaster.

As for the friendly forces responsible for the encirclement in the other three directions, they were also trapped and surrounded by a group of unidentified armed forces.

Although these mysterious troops are keeping their positions still for now, they are probably waiting for the arrival of dawn.

Once the sky brightens, our army will face a fierce all-round offensive from the enemy.

Without delay, we must act decisively and quickly dispatch a large number of reinforcements to the scene.

Not only must we do our best to rescue the trapped soldiers, but we must also implement counter-encirclement tactics against the invading enemy and resolutely curb their attempts to rescue the commander-in-chief of the National Salvation Army.

Only in this way can we turn the tide of the war and avert danger!"

Zuochuan Xiutian sighed deeply and said in a heavy tone, "The current situation is extremely difficult, and we have no soldiers to send!

In the north, we have done our best to send out more than 100,000 troops to resist the aggressive and fierce attack of the National Salvation Army.

Even so, facing the enemy's fierce attack, our army could only retreat step by step and suffered extremely heavy losses.

The troops from the northern defense line kept calling and begging for reinforcements, but due to the extreme shortage of manpower, we were unable to send any support.

As for the team responsible for encircling and suppressing the National Salvation Army in the cave, the hundreds of thousands of troops we deployed successively suffered heavy losses, with 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers killed.

Today, the more than 60,000 troops besieging the enemy suffered another major setback.

If we want to rescue the besieged army and implement the counter-encirclement strategy, we need to mobilize at least 100,000 troops.

However, at this moment, where can we mobilize these 100,000 troops? " He frowned, his face full of worry and helplessness.

At this moment, Miller, who had been silent all the time, finally broke the silence. He cleared his throat and spoke solemnly.

"Please listen to me! As far as I know, the Kyoto City garrison plus the auxiliary troops must have at least 50,000 to 60,000 people.

Looking at the mountain range where the battlefield is currently located, it is not far from Haicheng.

As for Haicheng, there are not only local garrisons, but also your country's powerful naval force stationed here.

Just these two places combined require at least tens of thousands of brave men.

In addition, I believe you can also draw tens of thousands of troops from your attacking army in the south.

Calculating this way, if all these troops were integrated together, there would definitely be more than 100,000 troops!

As long as we act decisively and quickly send this huge reinforcement to the battlefield, wouldn't it be easy to resolve this imminent crisis?"

Sakawa Hideta shook his head and said coldly, “The regular troops of our army left in Kyoto Prefecture to defend the city are only more than 20,000 people.

Although there were more than 30,000 auxiliary troops, the combat effectiveness of these troops was simply not good enough.

Once these soldiers are recruited to the battlefield and are turned against us by the National Salvation Army, they will pose a fatal threat to us.

Even if they were not instigated to rebel, we would not dare to send out all the troops stationed in Kyoto Prefecture.

There should be a large number of intelligence operatives from the National Salvation Army lurking in Kyoto Prefecture now.

Once our garrison troops are depleted, they are likely to assassinate our high-ranking generals.

Once we are assassinated, the command system will be paralyzed. The consequences can be imagined. Our southern theater will fall into chaos.

In addition, the defenders and navy of Haicheng would not be able to participate in the battle as reinforcements.

As for our troops fighting other warlords in the south, even if we could withdraw tens of thousands of them, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst.

It would take at least seven or eight days for them to reach the mountains where the National Salvation Army was located.

Do you think our troops can hold out for seven or eight days?"

Everyone was silent, not knowing how to deal with the next battle.

Dawn came quietly, and the troops led by Lu Tianhao launched a major counterattack.
