Chapter 109 A Difficult Battle
Chapter 109 A Difficult Battle
The night is deep, and the moonlight shines on the earth like water.
In the darkness, a night attack team consisting of one hundred elite soldiers moved quietly.
They were divided into ten groups, each with a specific mission. Like ghosts in the night, they moved silently towards their predetermined goals.
These soldiers are all battle-hardened warriors, possessing the strength of a military king and superb tactical skills.
Not only are they highly skilled in martial arts, they are also proficient in the language of Haisang Kingdom. It can be said that they are invincible.
When they approached the bandits' watchtower, they easily knocked on the door of the watchtower with their skilled techniques and understanding of the enemy.
Relying on their extraordinary strength, they eliminated the bandits in the guardhouse silently.
Then, the soldiers quietly climbed up the city wall.
They shuttled across the city walls like ghosts, killing the patrolling bandit soldiers one by one.
The whole process is like a thrilling hunting game, and they are the masters of this game.
After successfully eliminating the enemies on the city wall, members of the night attack team quickly opened the city gate to welcome the large force of the National Salvation Army into the city.
As the city gates slowly opened, the National Salvation Army poured into the city like a tide, preparing for the final battle with the bandits.
The streets in the city were narrow and winding, but the soldiers of the National Salvation Army were not afraid. They moved forward with firm steps and fearless courage.
Danger may be hidden in every street corner and every alley, but they always remain vigilant and do not miss any trace of the enemy.
The battle in the outer city started off smoothly, and many bandits and allied troops were killed in their sleep by the soldiers of the National Salvation Army.
However, the bandit troops had also made careful arrangements, and the attack by the National Salvation Army was quickly discovered.
In the silent night, fierce gunfire rang out.
The gunshots awakened the commander of the bandits stationed in the city center.
Based on the intelligence feedback, the commander knew that the National Salvation Army troops had entered the city and were attacking the outer city.
Based on the sound of gunfire, the commanders roughly knew the area of the fighting.
The commander of the bandits immediately gave the order to bombard the area where the two sides were fighting, carrying out indiscriminate bombing.
After receiving the order, the bandits' artillery unit launched indiscriminate bombardment at the battle area without any hesitation.
Shells rained down and explosions echoed through the night sky.
The outer city instantly turned into a sea of fire, buildings collapsed, and smoke and dust filled the air.
The soldiers of the National Salvation Army were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties.
They struggled for cover under the gunfire, trying to avoid the devastating blow.
However, the bandits' bombardment did not stop.
Round after round of bombardment put the National Salvation Army into a desperate situation. Their offensive rhythm was disrupted and their morale was seriously affected.
Also in dire straits were the bandit soldiers and their allied troops in the bombing area.
They never dreamed that their own artillery units would not spare their own people.
The commanders of the National Salvation Army quickly commanded the soldiers to hide in the bombed craters.
During a cannon bombardment, the chance of shells falling into the same crater is very small.
Under the baptism of artillery fire, the battle situation in the outer city became increasingly difficult.
The soldiers of the National Salvation Army were in trouble, but they did not give up resistance.
They used the ruins and bomb craters as cover and fought a desperate battle with the bandits.
At the same time, the commanders of the National Salvation Army were also urgently adjusting their strategies.
The troops that did not enter the city were forced to stop their advance and retreat to a safe area to temporarily avoid the bandits' bombardment.
In addition, the 100 night attack teams that were sent out earlier were asked to urgently search for the bandits' artillery positions and find ways to destroy their cannons.
The bandits' madness made the commanders of the National Salvation Army realize the seriousness of the matter.
In the temporary command center, Jiao Yajun and Ding Xuguang both had worried looks on their faces.
Jiao Yajun said angrily, “These bandits are so cruel that they even bombed their own people.
Not to mention how many civilians will be affected this time, even our troops will suffer heavy casualties this time."
Ding Xuguang's face was also full of resentment, "I didn't expect the bandit commander to be so cruel.
If the commanders of the bandits in other cities are also so cruel, then the number of casualties in our attack this time will definitely exceed our imagination."
Jiao Yajun continued, "The battle has reached this point, and it is already too late for our troops who have entered the city to withdraw.
I hope the special forces we sent out can find the location of the bandits' artillery unit.
As long as we destroy the bandits' cannons, we will be able to continue the next battle.
Otherwise, we will have to retreat outside the city and continue to siege it."
Just then, a communications soldier came in and handed some intelligence to Ding Xuguang.
After reading it, Ding Xuguang handed it to Jiao Yajun.
Ding Xuguang said, “Our special forces are quite efficient.
Unfortunately, the bandits' artillery units had tight defenses, and our special forces had no way of getting close to them.
They have already sent the coordinates, let our artillery carry out the bombing.
Are we going to bomb?"
Jiao Yajun's face was also a little heavy, "They said in the intelligence that there is a high possibility that our people are on the bandits' artillery positions.
Although it is not confirmed, but since they said it, the possibility is very high.
If we bomb the bandits' artillery units, there will be no way to guarantee the safety of these civilians.
If we don't bomb the enemy's artillery units, there is no way to destroy them.
Their current indiscriminate bombing has caused heavy casualties to our troops.
The most important thing is that if we don’t destroy the bandits’ artillery units, it will affect our subsequent offensive.”
An adjutant spoke up, "Since our special forces have not confirmed that there are any of our civilians on the bandits' artillery positions, we can pretend that there are none.
For the sake of our next battle and to reduce the casualties of our soldiers, please order our artillery to counterattack. "
Another adjutant also spoke up, “Our special forces are not sure yet, so at least we will feel better when we bomb.
Once that is confirmed, can we really give this order?
Commander Ding, let our heavy artillery battalion launch a counterattack. The sooner we can deal with the bandits' artillery, the fewer casualties our soldiers on the front line will suffer. We can't wait any longer."
Jiao Yajun also nodded to Ding Xuguang, "Give the order, that's how war works.
If there are civilians who are really affected by our actions and their sacrifices save the lives of our soldiers, they will not blame us. "
Ding Xuguang didn't say anything more, but gave the order to the heavy artillery battalion to counterattack.
