Warlords: Rise of the System

Chapter 107: Countermeasures for Bandits

"Ding! Destroyed six reorganized squadrons of the bandit army and earned 60 points.

Eliminate 3117 auxiliary troops and gain points. "

In this battle against the enemy, the casualties of the National Salvation Army were several times that of the previous time, but the points they gained were not much more.

There was a trace of solemnity on Lu Tianhao's face. It seemed that the future battles would be more difficult.

The two night raids by the National Salvation Army caused panic among the top brass of the bandit army.

In just two night attacks, their troops suffered more than 40,000 casualties, equivalent to the annihilation of two Type B divisions.

The losses of the supporting troops were even greater, at least 70,000 to 80,000 people.

The bandit leaders didn't care much about the losses of the allied troops, but they couldn't help but feel panicked when more than 40,000 of their troops were wiped out.

In the joint command center, Zuochuan Hideta's face looked very unhappy.

"If we continue to fight like this, how many of our troops can withstand such attrition?

Lu Tianhao's troops only launched two attacks on us, but we lost so many troops.

We must not let Lu Tianhao be so arrogant again, we must find a way to stop their attack."

Beiyuan Xiu spoke up, "Commander, we have already investigated the situation of Lu Tianhao's army.

His army is no longer the several thousand men we knew before.

Lu Tianhao's troops now have about 60,000 to 70,000 people.

Moreover, every time he occupied a county, he would recruit a large number of soldiers, recruiting one or two thousand people for each county.

We have now lost more than 20 counties, and Lu Tianhao has recruited at least another to troops.

Together with his original troops, Lu Tianhao now has an army of more than 100,000 people.

The combat effectiveness of Lu Tianhao's army is obvious to all.

His six or seven thousand men were able to withstand the attack of one or two hundred thousand of us.

His troops have now increased more than ten times, although he is attacking and we are defending now.

However, there is still a big gap in the weapons and equipment between our two sides.

We used the people of Tianlong Kingdom as shields and forced them to stop using heavy weapons.

Even so, Lu Tianhao's army easily captured the city we occupied.

Even if Lu Tianhao's army does not use heavy weapons, its combat effectiveness is not comparable to that of our army.

Did you notice something? In both battles, Lu Tianhao's troops conducted night raids.

From this we can see that Lu Tianhao’s troops must have unknown advantages in fighting at night.

Immediately increase the intensity of our scouts to see if Lu Tianhao's troops have any special equipment for use at night."

Kazuo Oshima also spoke up, "Lu Tianhao has the support of a mysterious force, they must have the equipment for night operations.

We are now using the city and the people of Tianlong Kingdom as shields, but we have not been able to stop the attack of Lu Tianhao's troops.

My personal opinion is to abandon those small counties and build our defensive fortresses in the big cities to prevent sneak attacks by Lu Tianhao’s army.

Let our artillery units be prepared and mark the routes that need to be bombed early.

In addition, more visible and hidden sentries were set up on the necessary routes, and if they discovered that Lu Tianhao's troops were launching a night attack, they would immediately report to the artillery unit.

Once our artillery units have received accurate information, they can carry out indiscriminate bombing of the areas that Lu Tianhao's troops have passed through."

An adjutant said, "In this case, wouldn't our sentries be bombed as well?"

Kazuo Oshima said grimly, "In order to destroy Lu Tianhao's troops, we are willing to sacrifice some of our own people."

Zuo Chuan Xiutian also said grimly, "If we send troops to garrison in a small city, it would be like sending heads to Lu Tianhao's troops.

Just as Mr. Oshima said, we should concentrate all our forces in the big cities.

We also built our own strong fortress, and imprisoned some people from the Tianlong Kingdom in the fortress.

In this way, Lu Tianhao's troops will not be able to use heavy weapons to destroy our fortress.

Lay mines on most of the area outside the city, leaving only a few roads for traffic.

If Lu Tianhao's troops want to attack these big cities, they must pass through roads without mines.

Let our artillery lock onto these roads, and as soon as we find Lu Tianhao's troops passing through, we will immediately carry out indiscriminate and full-coverage bombing.

As long as we can stop Lu Tianhao's troops from attacking, the reinforcements and advanced aircraft sent from our country will arrive in a few months.

By then, we can engage in a full-scale battle against Lu Tianhao's troops head-on."

Beiyuan Xiu nodded and said, “We need to report the situation of Lu Tianhao’s troops to the Military Affairs Department as soon as possible.

Lu Tianhao's troops have become a strong enemy of our Haisang country.

Even if we, Haisang Nation, mobilize the entire country, we must first destroy Lu Tianhao's troops.

Otherwise, if we want to occupy the entire Tianlong Kingdom, I am afraid that by then we will become a mirage."

Kazuo Oshima said, "I admit that Lu Tianhao's troops are relatively strong, but it is not necessary for our Haisang country to mobilize the entire country to deal with him."

Kitahara Osamu continued, “We have all witnessed how fast Lu Tianhao has developed.

According to the information we have gathered, the army that Lu Tianhao just formed consists of only about 1000 people.

In less than two months, the number grew to six or seven thousand.

Now, only two or three months have passed, and his number has grown to over 100,000.

If he were given another half a year, would his army reach millions of people?

The total number of troops we have deployed to Tianlong Kingdom is only over two million.

There is no need for me to tell you how sophisticated the weapons and equipment of Lu Tianhao’s troops are.

The combat effectiveness of his troops was such that they could fight one against three or four, but they could fight one against two without any problem.

Once he develops an army of more than 100 million, even if we have more than 200 million troops in Tianlong Kingdom, I am afraid we will not be able to defeat him.

By that time, needless to say, all our previous efforts will be wasted.

Not to mention that we will be driven out of Tianlong Country by Lu Tianhao, to be frank, I am also worried that Lu Tianhao will lead his troops to attack our Haisang Country’s homeland.”

The faces of the people in the command center turned very ugly.

Zuochuan Hideta also felt a sense of crisis, and he reported the entire situation of Lu Tianhao's troops to the Military Affairs Department.

He also reported the situation that Kitahara Osamu was worried about.

After discussion and consultation, the people in the bandit command center began to withdraw all the troops to the big cities according to the formulated plan.

They also captured a large number of civilians and began to build a strong fortress to resist the attack of Lu Tianhao's troops.
