Warlords: Rise of the System

Lu Tianhao and Commander Ding came to their defense zone together.

They were defending the outer defense line outside the south gate of Kyoto Prefecture, which was the main battlefield.

The defense line assigned to Lu Tianhao was much smaller than that of Commander Ding. After all, the troops led by Lu Tianhao had only more than 1000 people.

Lu Tianhao has now reached an agreement with Inspector Ding to form a coalition force. The defense lines are divided as they should, but the command centers are placed together.

Lu Tianhao didn't care about these things. The officers under him were all military masters and had the ability to command.

As long as the tasks are distributed, the team leader Lu Tianhao can just be a spectator.

In the temporary command center, Adjutant Sun complained, "This Jiang Guangshi is too unkind.

He placed all his troops in the city, and placed us, the reinforcements, on the outer defense line. Doesn't this mean that he is using us as cannon fodder?"

Commander Ding said, "This is not Jiang Guangshi's fault. After all, more than half of his troops were killed in the battle of Haicheng.

When the defense of Kyoto Prefecture just started, he was prepared to take it on alone. But now that electricity has been connected to the whole country, do we have reinforcements?

He had already deployed the defense of Kyoto City a long time ago, and if he continued to defend back and forth, he would not be able to keep up with the time.

We, the reinforcements, can only defend the periphery."

Lu Tianhao didn't say anything. He knew very well in his mind that once the war started, both inside and outside the city would first be bombed by the bandits' air strikes.

The most important task now is to dig the air-raid shelters and cat-ear holes firmly. Only in this way can we withstand the first round of attacks from the bandits.

If they can’t even survive the first round of attacks, how can they stop the enemy’s ground forces from attacking?

There is no need to explain Lu Tianhao's army, several battalion commanders must have already explained that the air-raid shelter will definitely be built very solidly.

The temporary command center, under the command of Wu Qiuyue and Du Xiaowei, is also being continuously reinforced.

A large group of bandits also camped not far from Kyoto Prefecture, waiting to launch a full-scale attack.

Lu Tianhao, Commander Ding and his party came to a high ground, holding up binoculars to observe the movements of the bandit troops on the opposite side, secretly calculating the strength comparison between the enemy and us.

He turned to Commander Ding and said, "Commander Ding, the enemy has not made any major moves at the moment, but we cannot let our guard down.

I suggest sending more scouts to closely monitor the enemy's every move."

Commander Ding nodded and agreed, "You are right, Brother Lu."

At this moment, a soldier came running and reported, "Report to the division commander, an enemy reconnaissance plane has been spotted ahead!"

Lu Tianhao's heart tightened, and he quickly asked, "How many are there?"

"Only one has been spotted so far," the soldier replied.

Commander Ding was a little flustered. "Brother Lu, I don't have any air defense forces. Do you have any?"

Lu Tianhao did not set up an air defense force. However, since there were enemy reconnaissance planes conducting reconnaissance, it was very likely that the enemy's bomber fleet would take action in the next two days.

Lu Tianhao planned to wait until dark, train another group of soldiers, and then set up an air defense force.

Lu Tianhao shook his head. "I haven't set up an air defense force either, but a batch of air defense weapons will arrive tonight, and I will set up my own air defense force tomorrow."

Commander Ding was a little embarrassed, "Brother Lu, I want to ask you a favor, can you give me some anti-aircraft weapons?

I will give you the money when I have more money.”

Lu Tianhao thought about it and said, "Okay, I can give you 100 anti-aircraft machine guns for free. If you want more, you have to pay for them."

Commander Ding said happily, "100 anti-aircraft machine guns are enough. Thank you for your generosity, brother. I will accept it shamelessly."

Lu Tianhao said, "Brother, you are too arrogant. We are now a coalition force, just accept it.

But there are only 100 anti-aircraft machine guns. Brother, I still have the financial resources for it.

When the weapons arrive in the evening, I will send someone to deliver them to you."

Commander Ding's face was full of smiles. With these 100 anti-aircraft machine guns, the enemy planes would not dare to be so arrogant over their defense line.

Lu Tianhao could give me 100 anti-aircraft rifles at will, so could his own troops equip themselves with less?

The bandits' reconnaissance planes kept circling in the air, observing the defense deployment of Kyoto Prefecture.

When the bandits' reconnaissance plane entered Kyoto City, it was attacked by Jiang Guangshi's air defense forces.

The bandits' reconnaissance plane dodged left and right, facing danger all around, and finally had to fly away from the inner city, circling around the periphery for a few more times before flying away.

All the generals have already guessed that the Haisang bandits' full-scale attack will take place within the next three or two days.

Lu Tianhao followed Commander Ding to inspect his defense area and pointed out the shortcomings of the trenches and air-raid shelters one by one.

The temporary command post jointly established by Lu Tianhao and Commander Ding was set up behind the defense line, at least five or six miles away from the first line of defense.

Lu Tianhao and Commander Ding's troops set up three lines of defense in their respective defense areas.

As long as the enemy breaks through these three lines of defense, they can reach the temporary joint command center directly.

The entire temporary joint command center includes Lu Tianhao’s guard company, personnel directly under the regiment headquarters, and two female directors of the intelligence department.

Wei Wuwei's sniper platoon has been dispersed into three battalions. When the war starts, they will mainly carry out sniping against the bandits' officers.

Dunzi and Gousheng's reconnaissance companies had all been sent out long ago, and they were closely watching the bandits' every move.

On the Division Commander Ding's side, he also left a guard company and some direct officials of the division headquarters at the joint command center.

As long as the first three lines of defense are broken, only the soldiers of these two guard companies will be left to resist.

Lunch for the joint command was arranged by Lu Tianhao.

There wasn't much variety for lunch, just rice, braised pork and shredded pork with fish flavor.

Lu Tianhao and his men had gotten used to it and didn't think it tasted that good.

But Commander Ding and his men were enjoying the meal to their heart's content, enjoying it even more than the banquet they had yesterday.

While chewing the braised pork, Commander Ding said to Lu Tianhao in a vague voice, "Brother, don't blame me for being thick-skinned. From now on, the food of our joint command center will be handed over to you.

When I have more money in the future, I will make up for your food expenses."

Lu Tianhao smiled and agreed readily. It was just some food, and he had plenty of it in his system space.

Lu Tianhao didn't want Commander Ding to arrange meals.

The food his soldiers ate was just for filling their stomachs. It had no taste at all and had little nutritional value.

Night slowly fell, and Lu Tianhao's operation to train the air defense forces began.
