Doomsday Commander - Chapter 332

Chapter 332 The Battle of Zhongtian Gate Begins

 Following the assassination of Li Zaixing, the forward battalion of the Tiger Empire suddenly fell into chaos.

 When a unit does not have an absolute leader, the officers below will fight on their own.

 The explosion just caused chaos. The assassins were all wearing the military uniforms of the Tiger Empire, and they were nowhere to be found at this moment.

While the brigade commanders were still directing their troops to guard and look for assassins, the attack of the Light Chasing Army arrived.

The most suitable weapon for this situation is the rocket launcher.

The Light Chasing Army had already deployed rocket launchers on the hilltop position in the distance and immediately launched an attack on the Tiger Empire’s camp.

An artillery battalion of the Light Chasing Army was stuck at the most suitable distance. This distance could just hit the Tiger Empire’s camp, but Dayan and Orochi could not hit them due to the distance.

 When the overwhelming rockets poured down, the Tiger Empire’s camp was immediately shattered.

The reason why Tang Zheng kept stalling for time was to build a solid and powerful position. These days, the arsenal was at full capacity, and countless amounts of ammunition were delivered.

 With the arsenal, the cost is greatly reduced, and artillery can be fired without restraint.

 In an instant, the Tiger Empire’s camp turned into a sea of ​​fire.

 The rocket fell not just in one shot, but in a large area.

Continuous explosions sounded one after another, and overwhelming flames enveloped the entire military camp.

This kind of artillery plows the ground, and the damage to infantry and chariots is extremely huge.

Neither combat vehicles nor tanks can withstand this intensive bombing.

 Compared to the air defense forces of Dayan and Orochi, the Tiger Empire’s air defense is the weakest.

 Because they had not experienced the air raid on the Triton naval port and had no personal pain, they did not pay enough attention to this aspect.

Dayan and Orochi have spent a lot of effort to prevent air raids.

 Not only does it have surface-to-air missile vehicles to protect against aircraft, it also imported a large number of “Sky Dome” missile vehicle-mounted missile defense systems.

This kind of short-range ground-to-air defense system is also very effective in intercepting rockets.

 But the Tiger Empire did not have much such equipment. Some anti-aircraft weapons did intercept some rockets in the early stage, but the firepower of the Light Chasing Army was too strong.

Their interception was short-lived, and was then overwhelmed by the overwhelming incoming rockets.

 It’s a drop in the bucket and it won’t help.

The Light Chasing Army’s rocket launchers fired five rounds. Thousands of rockets poured down and the camp was riddled with holes.

Tang Zheng has already issued an order for this attack, and the focus is to pursue a speedy one.

 Assassinating Li Zaixing is the first task. The second task is to achieve the greatest results in the shortest time without giving Dayan and Orochi people a chance to support them.

In fact, Dayan and Orochi did not dare to provide too much support. After learning that the Tigers were attacked, they were also a little bit overwhelmed. No one could have thought beforehand that the Light Chasing Army would actually set up an ambush here. They were not the first to panic. Instead of going to the rescue, he immediately prepared a defense to prevent his headquarters from being attacked by the Light Chasing Army.

This is the disadvantage of the joint force. When the wind is going smoothly, everyone can rush up to join the battle, lest they fall behind.

 When encountering an attack, when you are passive, the first thing that comes to mind is self-protection.

As a result, the golden time for rescue will be missed.

 After the artillery plowed the ground, the Light Chaser Army launched a general attack.

On the mountains at night, the bugler picked up the bugle and blew it fiercely.

“Didi, di, di, da, di, di, di, di, di, di, di, di, di, di, di, di, di, di, di, di, di, di, di, di, di, di, di, di, di, di, da, di, ~~~!”

ˆBang bang~~~!

 Several flares were launched into the sky, lighting up the Tiger Empire’s camp.

The field troops of the Light Chaser Army, which had already arrived near the camp, began to charge toward the enemy’s camp like tigers descending from the mountain.

They are not a mindless charge. The large force is responsible for the charge, and the heavy machine guns and Gatling behind are responsible for covering and shooting all visible enemies in the camp.

The soldiers of the Tiger Empire, who had suffered heavy casualties from rocket launchers, just wanted to resist, but were fired upon violently by machine guns, and could hardly raise their heads.

Faced with the charge of the Light Chasing Army, they became powerless.

 The large forces of the Light Chasing Army rushed into the camp, and a fierce battle broke out.

More than half of the 50,000 people in the Tiger Empire had been lost at this moment, and many of them were injured. They could not stop the new force of the Light Chasing Army. After a brief exchange of fire, the two sides quickly entered the rhythm of hand-to-hand combat.

 The Tiger Empire soldiers, suppressed by firepower, attempted to fight back with bayonets and other weapons when the enemy approached.

 But they soon learned what a martial arts shooting team was.

The quality of the individual soldiers of the Light Chasing Army is simply frightening. Every single soldier can easily defeat three or five of the opponent’s soldiers.

 This kind of hand-to-hand combat in short-hand encounters best reflects this.

 A soldier from the Tiger Empire had just come out from behind the tent and met a soldier from the Light Chaser Army head on.

He stabbed out with the knife, but before the blade could get closer, the opponent’s blade had already penetrated his throat.

One of his comrades in the back wanted to shoot three meters away. The soldier of the Light Chasing Army rolled on the spot and was in front of him in the blink of an eye. He raised his hand and looked back at the moon. In a martial arts performance, he stabbed him with a knife. heart! The other side is even more exciting. Two people besiege one at the same time. The other party jumps up with a somersault, swings the bayonet in the air, kills two people with two knives, and only falls to the ground after killing them.

 When he landed on the ground, he raised his hand and fired another shot, killing a Tiger Empire soldier who was trying to pick up the missing piece not far away.

 Use a knife when you should use a knife, and use a gun when you should use a gun. A soldier is almost like a combat team. This huge gap in combat effectiveness makes it impossible for the soldiers of the Tiger Empire to resist.

 The battlefield was full of shouts of killing, and fighting soldiers could be seen everywhere.

This is like a battle between black and white chess pieces on a chessboard. If the light-chasing army represents white, then there are fewer and fewer black chess pieces now, and it is obvious that there is no way to make a comeback.

 The fierce battle lasted for half an hour, and reinforcements from Dayan and Orochi were finally dispatched.

They drove bulky anti-aircraft vehicles, soldiers held anti-aircraft rocket launchers, and anti-aircraft guns also lined up to move forward, fearing they would be attacked along the way.

Such an action cannot be done quickly, of course, which gives the Light Chaser Army time to retreat calmly.

 As another bugle sounded, the soldiers of the Light Chaser Army retreated.

 They detonated some of the remaining vehicles of the Tiger Empire, then easily escaped into the mountains and disappeared.

 When Dayan Serpent’s reinforcements arrived, only the smoke and countless corpses were left.

A raid by the Light Chasing Army almost completely wiped out the frontline troops of the Tiger Empire, a force of 50,000, more than 30,000 soldiers, and more than 10,000 wounded. When the final reinforcements arrived, those who could still stand had already It was less than two thousand, and almost all of them escaped by lying on the ground and pretending to be dead.

 The news spread back to the rear army. Jin Junxian, who had gauze tied on his nose, yelled that Li Zaixing was a waste and that he had rich combat experience. It was **** and insulted the reputation of the Tiger Empire.

 But no matter how much he scolded, things had happened. Jin Junxian could only bite the bullet and move forward, leading a large army to rescue their wounded, sort out the remaining troops, and prepare for the next battle.

 This surprise battle also made Song Yinghao, Akita and others vigilant.

The Chasing Light Army has set up an ambush here, and the mountain pass of Zhongtian Gate may not be easy to pass.

 But think about it from another angle. They are too tired from marching. Since the Light Chasing Army is waiting here, let’s solve the problem here.

 The large troops of the Three Kingdoms Alliance changed from rapid march mode to positional warfare mode.

 Large troops came from all over the mountains and plains, and attack arrows began to form one after another.

The layout of the Light Chasing Army on the opposite side is almost clear. They have occupied all the highlands near the Zhongtianmen Pass. If they want to pass through the Zhongtianmen, they can only fight to the death here.

 At this time, Akita is still full of confidence.

 Because the Light Chasing Army is also the subject of their research, although the opponent’s combat power is strong, their number does not seem to be too large, and the total number should not exceed 200,000.

Moreover, they still have to stay in the northern region, and they have to remove part of the navy. The number of troops that can be sent here is almost a limit of 100,000.

Although the Tigers suffered a blow and lost 50,000 troops, their total strength was still 700,000, with a ratio of 7 to 1. It is hard to believe that they would not be able to kill the Light Chaser Army.

As long as this part of the light-chasing army is eliminated, I believe that the road to Didicui Island will be smooth, and the final battle to seize the island will be extremely easy.

 The noisy second half of the night has passed, and when dawn breaks, it is time to start the war.

 Before the battle started, Akita called Tian Mingfei again.

“Brother Tian, ​​we encountered the main force of the Light Chasing Army in the Yunling Mountains. There are about 100,000 Light Chasing Army here. Although they used despicable means to sneak attack the Tigers’ military camp, we still have a lot to compare with them. An overwhelming advantage.”

“So on your side, you can move forward boldly with confidence. The Light Chasing Army cannot have too much strength to stay on Didui Island.”

“Just go ahead and do it. I believe it won’t be long before the two of us can meet up victoriously on Didui Island, and then we can have a drink and talk together.”

After hanging up the phone, Akita felt that the highlight of his life was about to come.

 He first confirmed his logistics situation.

The convoy of logistics supplies has now entered the Yunling Mountains. Because they are all heavy-duty trucks, it is not very convenient to climb the mountain. They can only wait for the large troops to make a breakthrough before coming here.

 During this period, some vehicles were delivering goods into the mountains every day to ensure the supply of the troops.

 In a battle like this, logistics must be ensured.

 Originally, the Tiger Empire was responsible for the logistics, but now Akita did not trust the Tigers very much, and specially sent one of his ace regiments to defend the foot of the mountain.

In this way, Akita felt relieved. After all, the Light Chasing Army was currently located in the southern half of Yunling Mountains and was unlikely to threaten the logistics warehouse camp in the north.

Its daybreak.

Today is the fifth day of May, the traditional Dragon Boat Festival of the Han lunar month.

 At the beginning, Akita once boasted that the battle would end before the Dragon Boat Festival, but now it seems that this cannot be achieved.

But Akita doesn’t care anymore. If he can inflict heavy damage to the Light Chasing Army today, then it can be regarded as fulfilling his promise.

The integrated Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms gathered 300,000 troops, supported by thousands of cannons, and began to storm Zhongtianmen!

In his opinion, although the Light Chasing Army built a lot of defenses, they could not hold out for long.

Because Tian Mingfei’s side will soon reach Didicui Island, the Light Chasing Army cannot ignore its home base and keep fighting here.

So as long as the battle on Tian Mingfei’s side begins, his side will definitely be unstoppable and defeat the returning light-chasing army.

But he never expected that Tian Mingfei’s 300,000-strong army would not go out immediately as he expected.
