Warlords: Rise of the System

The National Salvation Army's air force, like a bird of prey, carried out carpet bombing on the enemy's defensive positions on Ming Island.

Bombs fell like raindrops, leaving the enemy's defense line riddled with holes, with thick smoke billowing and flames shooting into the sky.

In this fierce battle, the pilots of the National Salvation Army demonstrated superb flying skills and fearless spirit.

They flew their planes through the enemy's anti-aircraft firepower network, dropped each bomb accurately, and destroyed the enemy's fortifications one by one.

On the ground, the landing troops of the National Salvation Army had rested for several days and were fully rested.

Their morale was high and they couldn't wait to fight the enemy.

At the commander's command, six elite troops launched a full-scale attack on Ming Island from six different directions like arrows shot from a bow.

They were so powerful and unstoppable that they seemed to be determined to completely conquer this land.

The enemy defensive positions bombed by the National Salvation Army Air Force belonged to the outer line of defense.

These fortifications were originally impregnable, but under the fierce attack of the National Salvation Army, they were reduced to ruins one after another.

Faced with this situation, the bandits and the multinational coalition forces did not choose to repair these defensive positions.

Instead, they withdrew all the surviving soldiers to defensive positions in the city to strengthen the city's defenses.

The commanders of the bandits and the multinational coalition forces came to a profound understanding of one fact through the bombing by the National Salvation Army Air Force.

No matter how solidly the outer positions were constructed, they could not withstand the bombardment of heavy bombs.

Therefore, they decided to abandon the outer positions and concentrate their forces on defending the interior of the city.

After all, there are a large number of Tianlong people in the city, and the National Salvation Army’s air force does not dare to bombard it easily.

Despite the lack of strong fortresses in the city, the Salvation Army's heavy weapons were still difficult to use.

In addition, the military strength of both sides is almost the same. If effective defense is to be carried out, then the city's offensive and defensive battle is the best option.

This was a problem that the commanders of the bandits and the multinational coalition forces realized only after suffering heavy casualties.

They found that only through the city’s fortifications could they effectively resist the enemy’s attacks and reduce their own losses.

Therefore, they began to adjust their strategy, focusing on the attack and defense of the city, hoping to achieve better combat results.

The six offensive forces of the National Salvation Army, totaling more than 300,000 people, broke through the enemy's periphery defense lines like a steel torrent.

These once impregnable defenses have now become ruins.

The defensive positions of the bandits and the multinational coalition forces were bombed beyond recognition by the carpet bombing of the National Salvation Army Air Force.

Although these defensive positions have become ruins, the enemy's limbs and arms can still be seen scattered everywhere.

Many virtual soils were also stained with blood, appearing dark red.

Thick smoke still billowed out from some of the ruins' defensive positions from time to time.

The air was filled with a pungent, burnt smell that was nauseating.

The attacking forces of the National Salvation Army originally thought that even if these positions were destroyed, they might still encounter stubborn resistance from the bandits and the multinational coalition forces.

However, they had a smooth journey and did not encounter any enemy obstruction.

Each attacking force easily crossed these lines and arrived in front of the first city.

The scouts sent out had already quietly sneaked into various cities. They used their keen observation and wit to carefully monitor the enemy's every move.

After some hard reconnaissance work, they finally grasped the detailed deployment of the enemy in these cities.

Afterwards, these brave scouts quickly returned to the troops and reported the intelligence they obtained accurately to the commander of the troops.

The commander listened carefully to every detail, his brows sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed, as he quickly analyzed in his mind the impact of this information on the battle plan.

Li Haijiang, the commander of the 11th Division, personally came to the forefront of the battlefield. He held a telescope and carefully observed the terrain and enemy deployment of the city that was about to be attacked.

In the temporary command center built on the front line, Li Haijiang and a group of senior generals sat around a simple table and began a tense meeting.

Li Haijiang said solemnly, "Comrades, after observation and analysis, we found that the enemy is becoming more and more cunning.

They focused their defense on urban attack and defense, using the city's complex environment and buildings to resist our attack."

He went on to say, “Moreover, since there are a large number of our Tianlong country’s citizens in these cities, our air force cannot exert its greatest advantage.

Because we cannot risk harming innocent civilians by bombing.

Therefore, the next battle can only be completed by our army."

According to the situation reported by the scouts, Li Haijiang continued, "Although the enemy did not directly use the people of our Tianlong Country as a shield.

But their defensive tactics are just as insidious.

They set up many defensive positions near where people lived, and some even used civilian houses as military defense bases.

This makes our attack much more difficult.

The enemy's insidious setup made our cannons ineffective.

The next battle will depend entirely on our armored forces and our soldiers themselves."

Hearing this news, everyone's heart sank.

This means they have to face more difficulties and challenges.

However, they did not back down, but instead aroused greater fighting spirit.

"No matter what, we can't let the enemy succeed!" Li Haijiang said firmly, "We must protect the people, and at the same time we must resolutely strike the enemy.

Our soldiers are brave and fearless, and I believe they will be able to overcome these difficulties."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

They must go all out and defeat the enemy at all costs.

"We will strengthen communication and contact with the people to ensure their safety," someone suggested.

"Yes, we also need to do a good job of publicity so that the people can understand the intentions of our actions and avoid unnecessary accidental injuries," someone else added.

The Chief of Staff took a deep breath and spoke slowly, "The enemy is now preparing to launch a battle of attack and defense of the city with us.

There is no doubt that they were deliberately delaying time in an attempt to wait for the arrival of their reinforcements.

However, due to the large number of our people in the cities, it is not easy to quickly capture every city.

Since the enemy wants to wait for their reinforcements, why don't we go with the flow and act according to their plan, implementing a siege and attack strategy?"

Li Haijiang became excited when he heard this, "That's right, why should we start a fierce battle against them to capture the city?

Just slowly surround the enemy, destroy their reinforcements, and then spread the news.

Once the enemy realizes they can no longer expect reinforcements, they will collapse.

Especially the multinational coalition forces, in the event of collapse, they are likely to leave the city and surrender.

The strategy of besieging the city and attacking the reinforcements is good. Let's report it to the commander-in-chief and see what arrangements he will make. "
