Warlords: Rise of the System
Chapter 138 Heavy Casualties
The National Salvation Army's bomber fleet left without a single one being shot down.
Hua Jianguo's joint fleet paid a heavy price.
More than a dozen small warships were sunk, and five or six medium-sized warships were broken into pieces.
The two aircraft carriers were seriously damaged and dozens of their carrier-based aircraft were lost.
What made the senior commanders of the Huajian United Fleet most angry was that five troop transport ships were sunk.
Of the more than 1000 soldiers transported, only more than were rescued.
Including the warships that were sunk and the sailors who died on other seriously damaged warships, Hua Jianguo's joint fleet lost more than 40,000 people this time.
At the National Salvation Army’s air force base in Dawn City, countless lights were already welcoming the victorious return of the bombers.
When all the bombers returned safely, the system's voice also rang in Lu Tianhao's mind.
"Ding! Eliminate the multinational coalition soldiers, blow up 56 small warships, 120 medium warships, and aircraft, and earn a total of million points."
A bright smile appeared on Lu Tianhao's face. He didn't expect that the night bombing would yield such great results.
The points finally broke through the 200 million mark again.
With so many points, the combat troops can train all the untrained soldiers into elite soldiers.
After training 10,000 soldiers, he would have nearly a million points left.
This was a perfect bombing, and everyone in the National Salvation Army was cheering for the victory.
The bandits and the multinational coalition forces were now feeling sad over the heavy casualties.
After the bombing by the National Salvation Army's air force, the high-ranking bandits and Brady and his group also rushed to the port in person.
When they arrived at the port, there was still a raging fire on the sea. This was all fuel leaked from the destroyed ships, burning on the sea.
Under the light of the fire, the tragic scene was clearly visible.
Corpses floated on the sea, blood dyed the water red, and the wreckage of destroyed warships was scattered everywhere, emitting thick smoke and a burning smell.
The entire port was in a mess, as if it had experienced an apocalyptic disaster.
Everyone looked at the tragic scene before them with solemn expressions, their hearts filled with anger and unwillingness.
They once thought they were invincible, but now they have suffered such a heavy blow.
Brady and others couldn't help but gasp. This scene made them realize that the strength of the National Salvation Army was far beyond their imagination.
Several commanders of the Hua Jianyuan Joint Fleet came over.
After a brief introduction and a few words, both sides looked at everything in front of them with heavy heart.
Brady asked softly, "General Miller, how many casualties did the National Salvation Army's bombing cause us?"
Miller, the commander of the combined fleet, said with some sadness, "I didn't expect that we would suffer such heavy casualties before we even started a formal battle with the National Salvation Army.
The sinking of our five troop transports alone resulted in the loss of more than 20,000 of our soldiers.
In addition, there were more than a dozen small warships that were sunk and the naval losses on six medium-sized warships.
This time, we probably lost more than 40,000 soldiers, and there were many seriously injured.
This time our total casualties should be more than 50,000.
The National Salvation Army's air force has the ability to fight at night, which is definitely a huge threat to us.
We must also be equipped with aircraft capable of night combat.
Otherwise, if they launch an air raid at night, we will just be passive and take the beating."
"Not only that, we also need to strengthen our defensive measures," said another commander.
"The attacks by the National Salvation Army are clearly organized and planned. We must find their weaknesses and exploit them."
"At the same time, we have to speed up the pace of offense," Brady interjected.
"We can't let the National Salvation Army have a chance to catch their breath. They have taught us a hard lesson this time, and we must pay them back double!"
General Miller nodded in agreement.
He turned around and gave orders to the generals around him, "Speed up the rescue work immediately, save the wounded, and clean up the battlefield.
At the same time, strengthen vigilance in surrounding areas to prevent the Salvation Army's air force from attacking again.
In addition, mobilize more resources to develop night combat weapons!"
Amid the busyness, Hua Jianguo’s joint fleet increased its rescue efforts.
And quickly let the troop transport ship dock and let the soldiers on the troop transport ship land quickly.
The fleet commanders were worried that the National Salvation Army's air force would launch another air raid.
After a busy night, the rescue work and the landing of troops from the troop transport ship were not completed until daybreak.
The top leaders of the bandits and the coalition forces did not sleep all night and only breathed a sigh of relief after all the troops had landed.
They were really afraid that the National Salvation Army's air force would come to bomb again.
All warships, large and small, are equipped with anti-aircraft weapons, but these troop transports do not.
Once bombed by the air force, you can only leave it to fate.
The most important thing is that the troop transport ship is packed with soldiers. If it is sunk, a brigade of soldiers will basically be wiped out.
More than 40 troops had all landed, which made the top leaders of the bandits and the coalition forces feel relieved.
After everything was arranged, the group returned to the command center in Kyoto Prefecture and held another emergency meeting.
After several hours of discussion, a battle plan was worked out.
The reinforcement planes of the multinational coalition forces and the bandits will arrive in two or three days.
The coalition landing troops were rushing to various combat areas and could take a short rest.
Once the reinforcement planes arrive, with the cover of the air force, we will be able to launch a full-scale counterattack against the National Salvation Army's defensive positions.
At the same time, a military meeting was being held at the headquarters of the National Salvation Army.
Lu Tianhao stood in front of the map, discussing the next strategy with the generals.
“This night attack was a great success, but the enemy will certainly not give up.
We must be fully prepared to meet their counterattack." Lu Tianhao said seriously.
"Marshal, we can use the cover of night to continue harassing the enemy," Du Xiaowei suggested.
Lu Tianhao nodded, "Yes, but you also need to pay attention to your own protection.
In addition, we dispatched reconnaissance aircraft to closely monitor the enemy's movements and obtain their intelligence in a timely manner."
As soon as he finished speaking, a signalman hurried in and handed over a piece of urgent information.
"Report to the commander-in-chief, the enemy is stepping up its mobilization of troops and it looks like they are about to launch a large-scale attack."
Lu Tianhao's eyes narrowed, "It's just as I expected.
Inform all departments to strengthen their defenses and be ready for battle at any time!"
Jin Zhichao said, "I want to see how strong the multinational coalition forces are."
An unprecedented battle is about to begin.
