Warlords: Rise of the System

After Lu Tianhao deployed the troops, he and Wang Hao and other generals gathered in a temporary command center.

Wang Hui said worriedly, "Marshal! I feel like we are digging our own graves by occupying this bandit air base."

Li Guangjie said puzzledly, "Chief of Staff Wang, it's not as serious as you say, right?

The Marshal has deployed so much heavy firepower around us. It would be so easy for the enemy to besiege us.

The enemy can't even get in, so how can we dig our own graves?"

Wang Hui sighed and said, "With the heavy firepower around us, I'm not worried at all that the bandits' troops will attack us.

What I am worried about now is that the enemy will dispatch a large number of heavy artillery to carry out a devastating bombing on the air base we are now occupying.

After all, the air force base we occupied originally belonged to the bandits, and they have a detailed understanding of this place and accurate coordinate information.

This meant that they could quickly adjust their firing parameters and attack us directly without having to conduct additional reconnaissance.

The air force base we are at is relatively small and has limited defense capabilities.

If we are bombarded by the enemy's heavy artillery, we will face a huge threat, which may result in serious casualties or even annihilation of the entire army."

After hearing this, all the generals looked solemn and felt a sense of urgency in their hearts.

Indeed, if the enemy launched a devastating bombing campaign, the bandit air base they occupied would undoubtedly be in danger of being razed to the ground.

Lu Tianhao smiled slightly and said firmly, "In fact, I had already expected this."

He went on to explain, “The vehicle-mounted multiple rocket launchers and howitzers I sent out were all deployed five or six kilometers away from us.

The purpose of doing this is to prevent the enemy from sending heavy artillery to bomb our air base.

Once our scouts discover the enemy's artillery positions, the key firepower around us will quickly launch a counterattack and attack them first.

The enemy's heavy artillery currently has a maximum firing range of only about 15 kilometers.

The maximum range of our vehicle-mounted multiple rocket launcher can reach about ten kilometers.

That’s why I decided to place them five or six kilometers away from us.

As long as the enemy's heavy artillery cannot get within 15 kilometers of us, they will not be able to bomb the air base we occupy.

In addition, I also specially equipped each direction with a total of 50 150mm howitzers.

The range of this howitzer is quite amazing, and it can easily hit targets 17 or 18 kilometers away.

Therefore, as long as these howitzers are there, the enemy's heavy artillery will be useless.

Not only that, I also sent a large number of scouts in every direction with the aim of discovering the location of the enemy's heavy artillery in advance.

No matter which direction, once the enemy's heavy artillery is discovered, they will definitely be defeated without return.

At this moment, there are only four or five hours left until dawn, and if the enemy wants to mobilize a large number of heavy artillery, it will also take time.

The question is, how much heavy artillery can they mobilize in just four or five hours? "

Lu Tianhao's words were like a spring breeze blowing through everyone's hearts, relaxing their originally tense nerves.

Hearing his firm and confident tone, all the generals breathed a sigh of relief, as if the burden on their hearts was instantly lightened.

The tense expressions on their faces gradually disappeared, replaced by relaxed smiles.

Lu Tianhao continued, "There is one more thing, didn't you notice it?"

Wang Hui asked in confusion, "What happened? How come we don't know about it?"

Lu Tianhao smiled lightly, his mouth corners raised, revealing a confident smile, "We have successfully captured the bandit's air force base.

Why did I withdraw all the troops? Don't you find it strange? "

Wang Hui suddenly realized, and a trace of admiration flashed in his eyes. He exclaimed, "Marshal! It seems that you really have been prepared for this!"

Lu Tianhao's expression was solemn and he spoke in a firm tone.

“Although we have heavy firepower protection in all four directions, we are in the bandits’ homeland after all and are not familiar with the terrain here.

Also, our scouts cannot monitor all areas.

Once a bandit pulls heavy artillery, evades our scouts, enters the attack range, and bombs our air force base.

If we were still at the air force base, wouldn't that be an unfair death?

Therefore, I decided to evacuate everyone from the air force base to ensure safety."

After hearing this, Wang Hui couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

He knew very well that Lu Tianhao's decision was wise and decisive, which would not only protect the lives of the soldiers, but also ensure that the army's combat effectiveness would not be lost.

At this moment, he deeply admired Lu Tianhao's wisdom and foresight, but he also realized that he needed to continue learning in order to better follow the Marshal's pace.

Lu Tianhao looked at the generals in front of him with a serious expression, his voice low and firm.

“If the bandits want to mobilize a large number of heavy artillery, then even if they are fast, it will take a long time to deploy and prepare.

Based on my assessment of the situation, it will take at least three hours before they can attack us."

He paused, then continued, “Later, you will pass this message to the front line and let the soldiers take turns to rest.

After all, they have been fighting for more than a day. If they don't rest, it will probably affect their combat effectiveness in the future.

We still have a tough battle to fight in three hours!"

He turned to look at the officer in charge of intelligence and continued to give instructions.

“As for the scouts we sent out, let them work hard for a while, and then arrange for them to have enough rest time after we return to the navy fleet.

We can't just wait here. We need to find a safe place to rest for a while and prepare for the next battle.

After all, the next battle still requires our overall command."

The meeting ended quickly and orders were passed down swiftly.

When the soldiers learned that they had three hours to rest, they began to take turns to rest in order to restore their physical strength and mental state.

They knew that this short break was crucial for the fierce battle to come.

While waiting, the entire army remained on high alert, ready to respond to possible emergencies at any time.

The scouts continued to stick to their posts, closely monitoring the enemy's movements to ensure that any abnormalities were discovered in a timely manner.

Three hours passed quickly, and as time went by, a tense atmosphere gradually spread.

Every soldier knew that the next battle would determine the outcome of the war.
