Warlords: Rise of the System
Chapter 280 The Battle is About to Begin
The bandits and multinational coalition forces on Ming Island had long learned that the National Salvation Army was about to attack Ming Island, but the fleet that sent them here had already left.
As there were no ships to pick them up and they were surrounded by the sea, they had no way to escape.
In desperation, they could only bite the bullet and wait quietly for the National Salvation Army to launch an attack.
However, the bandits and the multinational coalition forces will not sit idly by and wait for death.
They made full use of the island's rugged terrain and built a large number of indestructible fortifications.
In the headquarters of the bandits and the multinational coalition forces, the atmosphere was solemn and tense.
The top leaders of the bandits and the multinational coalition forces were sitting together, holding an important meeting.
The commander-in-chief of the multinational coalition, Emmett Taylor from Huajian Country, broke the silence first.
"What do you think about the National Salvation Army's attack on Ming Island this time?" He glanced at everyone present, expecting everyone to express their opinions.
At this time, a high-ranking general of the bandits spoke up, "Actually, this matter is easy to understand.
We have ceded several provinces in the southern part of the Tianlong Kingdom to other warlords, and the National Salvation Army may have seen through our intentions.
The National Salvation Army must have given up the idea of fighting a civil war, so they sent troops to attack Ming Island."
Another high-ranking bandit went on to say, “After we evacuate to Ming Island, these warlords in the south will not be able to attack us at all.
Because apart from some small-scale patrol coastal defense forces on the coastline, they have almost no other naval forces.
As a result, the National Salvation Army also saw the situation clearly and realized that these warlords had no ability to recapture Ming Island.
In order to avoid fighting with these warlords, the National Salvation Army sent troops to attack us."
Everyone nodded in agreement, believing that this analysis was very reasonable.
The bandit general who had spoken before spoke again.
"Another important reason is that we gave up several provinces in the south, which undoubtedly angered the National Salvation Army.
It is for this reason that the National Salvation Army sent troops to attack Ming Island.
If we had chosen to withdraw directly instead of handing it over to other warlords.
Then perhaps the National Salvation Army is currently busy controlling these provinces and has no time to launch an attack on Ming Island.
In other words, the National Salvation Army’s attack today was actually caused by us.”
The commander-in-chief of the bandit army, Ikeda Hisanobu, also expressed his opinion, "Yes, the National Salvation Army's attack on Ming Island is actually an act of revenge.
According to the intelligence we have gathered, the National Salvation Army's offensive this time is extremely fierce.
They actually dispatched six divisions of army troops to attack our Ming Island.
If we don't respond with all our might, we may be in danger of being wiped out before reinforcements arrive."
A general of the multinational coalition said with a look of disdain on his face and a tone full of sarcasm.
"General Ikeda, are you being too cautious?
The total number of troops from various countries and your country stationed on Ming Island now exceeds 400,000.
Even if the six divisions of the National Salvation Army are so powerful, it would be a pipe dream to easily destroy our huge army, right? "
Ikeda Hisanobu shook his head helplessly, sighed lightly, and explained with a serious expression.
“I am not exaggerating, nor am I overestimating the division-level forces of the National Salvation Army.
In fact, the division-level organization of the National Salvation Army was very different from that of other warlords.
Each division-level unit of the National Salvation Army has a strength of up to 25,000 people, which is only slightly less than our Class A division by 2,000 to 3,000 people.
However, this is just their regular troop deployment.
According to the intelligence brought back by our internal spies.
Today, each division-level unit of the National Salvation Army has undergone a large-scale expansion.
The smallest division had more than 40,000 people, while the ordinary division had as many as 50,000 to 60,000 people.
What's more, it is rumored that a very small number of divisions have a strength of up to 70,000 or 80,000 troops!
I heard that these divisions have not yet been reorganized because the commander-in-chief of the National Salvation Army was delayed due to some matters.
Then, here are the six division-level units of the National Salvation Army that came to attack us.
We cannot calculate based on the minimum of more than 40,000 people, nor can we calculate based on the maximum of 70,000 or 80,000 people. Let's just assume it is 50,000 or 60,000.
In this way, the total strength of these six army divisions alone exceeds 300,000!
Moreover, they have a powerful naval fleet to back them up.
We faced a powerful offensive from the National Salvation Army without naval and air force support.
Can our more than 400,000 troops really resist?
When many commanders of the multinational coalition heard this astonishing number, they could not help but gasp, with expressions of astonishment and disbelief on their faces.
A division-level unit actually has 50,000 to 60,000 people, which is far beyond the scale of the traditional division-level organization.
Such a huge number of troops has exceeded the organization of an army, and can even be said to be the scale of a small army group.
Whether it is the commander of the bandit side or the generals of the multinational coalition forces, they all have a deep understanding and personal experience of the powerful combat effectiveness of the National Salvation Army.
They were well aware of the bravery and excellent tactical qualities of these National Salvation Army soldiers in battle.
Today, facing such a large force, coupled with their sophisticated weapons and equipment, the commanders of the multinational coalition forces feel even more pressured.
The actual combat effectiveness of the more than 30 National Salvation Army troops is fully capable of matching the combat effectiveness of their millions of troops.
This huge gap caused the commanders of the multinational coalition forces to fall into deep anxiety, and they began to worry about the outcome of the war.
Emmett Taylor's face turned gloomy, and he said solemnly, "I believe you all have deeply realized the seriousness of this war.
We are seriously lacking in air and naval support, and if we want to resist the offensive of the National Salvation Army, we can almost only rely on our existing army.
It can be said that this battle is a test of life and death for us.
If we can hold out until reinforcements arrive, we will have won the battle.
However, it will take at least a month to hold out until our reinforcements arrive."
Emmett Taylor then turned to Ikeda Hisanobu, his eyes full of expectation and pleading.
“General Ikeda, if your country can send a large number of reinforcements to support us, then I firmly believe that they will arrive at the battlefield in just three to five days.
Therefore, I hope that General Ikeda can report the actual situation here truthfully to your country's military headquarters and request them to send reinforcements as soon as possible.
Because the life and death of our more than 400,000 soldiers depends entirely on the decision of your military headquarters! "
With the arrival of dawn, the National Salvation Army's naval fleet has surrounded the entire Ming Island, and the battle is about to begin.
