Warlords: Rise of the System

After all the Ma family army’s troops gathered in the west.

Lu Yunjiao, Lu Yunfeng, Ma Po and other generals gathered together without hesitation and held a tense and serious military meeting.

After intense discussion and weighing the pros and cons, we finally reached a consensus.

The National Salvation Army responded decisively, and its troops gathered together to launch an all-out counterattack against the Ma family army in the west.

The National Salvation Army's air force did not drop powerful heavy artillery this time, but instead chose light and flexible mortars.

Despite this, the firepower of these mortars still far exceeded the equipment level of the Ma family army.

This time, the Ma family army's troop gathering action seemed a bit hasty.

Not only did they not carry heavy artillery, a powerful weapon for siege, but they were also equipped with only a few mortars, which made them no match for the National Salvation Army.

Faced with the Ma family's carefully constructed defensive positions, the National Salvation Army did not hesitate to put all available mortars into battle.

They concentrated their firepower and launched round after round of fierce bombardment on it.

For a moment, cannons roared, smoke filled the air, and the entire battlefield seemed to have turned into a sea of ​​fire.

The deafening sound of artillery fire continued to echo, as if it was going to tear the entire earth apart.

Mortar shells streaked across the sky like meteors, pouring down with the power to destroy everything. The fierce bombardment did not stop until the last shell was used up.

The tanks and armored vehicles on standby did not launch a rash charge this time.

They waited quietly until the smoke in the air gradually dissipated and the vision became clear again.

Only then did he slowly start the engine, emitting a low roar, and drove firmly towards the target ahead.

This was a carefully planned infantry-tank coordinated operation.

The soldiers closely coordinated with the advance of tanks and armored vehicles to form an indestructible line of defense.

After losing twenty or thirty tanks and armored vehicles, this armored regiment of the airborne brigade had only sixty or seventy left that could continue fighting.

It is well known that if the coordinated cover of the infantry is lost, these isolated tanks and armored vehicles will be in extremely dangerous situation.

Because the enemy often uses suicide bombings, if they succeed, these powerful war machines may instantly turn into a pile of scrap metal.

Unfortunately, although the tanks and armored vehicles of the National Salvation Army advanced bravely, they encountered a fierce counterattack from the Ma family army before they reached the enemy's position.

Due to the lack of effective anti-tank weapons, the Ma family army came up with an incredible idea.

They used the mortars in their hands to try to stop the advance of the National Salvation Army.

Although from the actual effect, the damage caused by these mortars to sturdy tanks and armored vehicles is negligible.

But they posed a huge threat to the infantry following behind tanks and armored vehicles.

After every cannon shot, a brave soldier would fall in a pool of blood. The battle was so brutal that it was unbearable to watch.

The attacking vanguard troops fought bravely on the battlefield.

They did not flinch in the face of the enemy's powerful fire suppression, but as the battle continued, the situation became increasingly unfavorable.

Therefore, the commander of the vanguard acted decisively and quickly contacted the National Salvation Army troops in the rear via radio, urgently requesting artillery support to turn the tide of the battle.

However, what shocked and disappointed everyone was.

The reply from the rear was, "We have used up all the mortar shells!"

This means that the artillery support that was originally expected will not be realized.

To make matters worse, at this moment, alarms came from the tanks and armored vehicles fighting on the front line - their ammunition was about to run out.

Lu Yunjiao, Lu Yunfeng and Zhang Po, the core leaders of the team, looked solemn when they heard the news.

They knew very well that lack of ammunition was like a soldier losing his sword, and continuing the attack would only lead to more unnecessary casualties.

Therefore, despite their reluctance, they immediately issued the order to retreat without hesitation.

The team had gone through several thrilling and fierce battles, and the airdropped ammunition was running out, so the entire team was facing a serious ammunition shortage.

The remaining ammunition is simply not enough to support a powerful offensive.

It seemed that only one last effort was needed to successfully break through the enemy's strong position.

But at this critical moment, due to the shortage of ammunition, all hopes were dashed and the huge efforts made previously were about to fail.

They quickly sent an urgent request for airdropped ammunition to the headquarters of the National Salvation Army.

Unfortunately, there were only two or three hours left until dark, and today's ammunition airdrop would not be able to reach the battlefield in time.

Although this fierce battle ultimately ended in failure, it is gratifying that an exciting piece of good news pierced through the haze like a ray of light.

It turned out that the field airport project, to which Lu Yunjiao, Lu Yunfeng, Zhang Po and others had previously dispatched a large amount of manpower and material resources for emergency repairs, was progressing smoothly.

After hard work day and night, this field airport is expected to be able to temporarily accommodate dozens of advanced fighter jets for takeoff and landing at noon tomorrow.

Lu Yunjiao, Lu Yunfeng and Zhang Po did not dare to delay and reported the good news to the Marshal's Mansion as soon as possible.

When Lu Yunhao learned the news, his originally heavy mood was instantly ignited, and a series of completely different strategic ideas emerged in his mind.

At this moment, the solemn and dignified conference room in the Marshal's Mansion was filled with a tense and heavy atmosphere.

Chief of Staff Wang Hui sat upright, with several battle-hardened generals beside him. They all listened attentively to Lu Yunhao's explanation.

Lu Yunhao straightened his body, looked at everyone with a firm gaze and said, "Chief of Staff Wang, please believe me!

This time I decided to go to the front line in person, in fact, it was a well-thought-out comprehensive plan.

Don't worry, I will never rashly throw myself into the war this time.

My purpose of going there was only to replenish ammunition and weapons and equipment for the front-line troops."

Chief of Staff Wang Hui frowned, with obvious suspicion on his face, and retorted bluntly.

"Marshal, I'm afraid your words are hard to convince people, right?

Now you are a 'habitual offender'. You have said every time in the past that you would not personally participate in the war, but what was the result? When did you really stand by and watch? "

Lu Tianhao showed an embarrassed look on his face, and forced a smile, saying, "This time it is absolutely true!

Please think about it, my two sisters are right there, how could they allow me to go to the battle in person?"

Hearing this, Wang Hui's originally tense expression eased a little, but he still looked worried.

He hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "Marshal, it's not that we don't want you to go this time.

But the field airport they built was very limited in scale and could only accommodate dozens of fighter jets at most.

Those large bombers cannot land here, let alone huge transport planes.

In this way, even if you want to go, you can only bring a few dozen members of the guard regiment.

However, how can we let you pass with peace of mind if there are not enough security personnel to protect your safety closely?

If there is a mistake, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Hearing this, Lu Tianhao smiled and said, "Chief of Staff Wang, if I solve the problem of the guard regiment, will you stop stopping me?"
