Chapter 339: Chapter 238: Results of the Battle (First Update)
Jiwei City, Lingyuan Building.
When Valenkin received the ssage and ca over with his subordinates to take over, what he saw was a scene akin to purgatory.
In this area of the building complex, there were destroyed and twisted helicopters and armored vehicles everywhere.
So tanks had overturned, so had exploded with their hatches open, and rolling flas were still not extinguished.
In front of the open square of Lingyuan Building, the bodies of over a thousand Japanese Soldiers were piled up, forming a small mountain of corpses.
The fire spread over the mountain of bodies, gradually burning these corpses to ash.
...
At so places the fire had not yet reached, Valenkin saw with his own eyes that so bodies had limbs broken, so heads had flown off, and so were completely chopped up, with not a single intact body part to be found; the pungent stench of blood was nauseating.
It could be seen that the faces of many Japanese Soldiers as they died were filled with bulging eyes and terror, and it was unknown what they had seen before their deaths.
“Mr. Su, the entire First Airborne Regint of the Japan Army… all dead?”
Valenkin felt his voice trembling slightly as he spoke because such a military achievent was too astonishing.
He had not been without attempts to dispatch forces to retake Lingyuan Building, but after trying twice he had been repelled. This paratrooper unit was indeed elite.
Su Jie stood shoulder to shoulder with Han Ruyan at this mont and smiled upon hearing this, “Your eyes do not deceive you. I’ve said before that the night operations were to be left to Miss Han. She would be responsible for dealing with the enemy forces.”
Swallowing hard, Valenkin was inwardly shocked.
“Miss Han, I hope we can cooperate more in the future.”
Valenkin glanced at Han Ruyan, who still had the sa icy deanor, but thinking of her mysterious unit that had easily eliminated more than a thousand Japanese paratroopers, he felt a genuine awe for such combat power.
Although she was secretive, for the heavy combined brigade stationed here, it was undoubtedly great news.
“Alright, take your n to handle those equipnt and ammunition; there is still a lot of usable equipnt, don’t waste it.”
Su Jie dismissed Valenkin and said to Han Ruyan, “How about it? Isn’t this battlefield quite suitable for you?”
Han Ruyan nodded slightly, “Killing provides more Fear Energy than scaring people. I hope it can continue like this.”
“It’s only during wars that there are so many opportunities, not on ordinary days.”
Su Jie reached out and held Han Ruyan’s hand. Because he was bound to Han Ruyan through the Nine Nether Ghost Cultivation Technique, Su Jie could sense her condition.
At this ti, Han Ruyan, having absorbed a large amount of Fear Energy, was like a kettle about to be filled to the brim, on the verge of completing her promotion to a Sixth-grade Fierce Ghost.
Han Ruyan withdrew her hand and said indifferently, “It will take so more ti.”
A smile appeared on Su Jie’s face, “I’m about to break through as well. Let’s see who advances first.”
…………
Yang City Command Center, the highest officer of the Chan Country Sakura Army, Major General Yoshimura Yuichi, was trembling as he held the telegram.
Looking at the report about the First Airborne Regint going missing, his eyes were bloodshot as if he were about to devour soone.
“What do you an ‘missing’? More than fifteen hundred mbers of the First Airborne Regint, so many soldiers, and it’s not just one or two. You’re trying to fob off with ‘missing’?”
Slamming the report onto the table, Yoshimura Yuichi’s voice almost seethed through clenched teeth, scarily cold.
Now, the only Japan Army troops left in Chan Country were the First Airborne Regint, and then they mysteriously went ‘missing’. How could he accept this? They were not ordinary troops but elite paratroopers, whose combat strength was top-notch even in Japan.
Facing Yoshimura Yuichi’s anger, the staff officers and intelligence personnel exchanged looks, their faces filled with bitter smiles.
“General Yoshimura, this incident might be inseparable from Chan Country’s involvent. Our Airborne Regint went to help them capture the city, but they didn’t fulfill their responsibility, leading to the disappearance of our First Airborne Regint.”
Soone quickly had the idea to first shift the bla to the Chan Country Governnt.
“Yes, yes! If it weren’t for the incorrect command of the Chan Country Governnt, how could our First Airborne Regint face mishap?”
“We should never have sent our troops to Jiwei City. Those Chan Country Governnt definitely used the Airborne Regint as cannon fodder. They handed over the most dangerous Lingyuan Building to our Airborne Regint to defend, leading to this failure.”
“We demand an explanation from the Chan Country Governnt; our soldiers can’t just disappear without a trace.”
The other staff officers in the command room lit up and began to echo the sentint.
After a defeat in the last battle, many at the command had been demoted and dismissed.
If this ti the disappearance of the First Airborne Regint was blad on them, who knew how many would be held accountable?
Yoshimura Yuichi’s expression softened slightly, but he was still furious, “How is the investigation into the First Airborne Regint going, how could they suddenly go missing without any ssage getting out?”
“General, according to our investigation, our First Airborne Regint is not the only unit that suffered mishap. Last night, a total of four stationed units in Jiwei City mysteriously vanished. Indeed, nearby Chan Country Soldiers heard gunfire, but no communication ca out. The soldiers sent to investigate also disappeared. In just one night, as many as two thousand five hundred soldiers went missing. We suspect that Jieke Group used electronic warfare suppression and most likely mobilized Steel Camp to attack. There might be so new technology we are unaware of. Those missing soldiers have likely died heroically, and the areas they belonged to have been recaptured by Jieke Group.”
“Three thousand n, gone overnight without any news getting out.”
Yoshimura Yuichi inhaled sharply, the casualty figures were staggering.
“Can that Steel Camp really accomplish this? I recall the Chan Country Governnt has quite a few new armored units, can those First-class Super Soldiers hold up?”
Yoshimura Yuichi was sowhat skeptical. After all, they’re but flesh and blood; they surely can’t withstand machine gun fire.
“We’re still investigating. The movents of the Steel Camp are very secretive, and we haven’t obtained precise information yet.”
“Figure out what’s going on as soon as possible. If we can’t determine how the enemy managed to do this, I’m afraid we won’t be able to capture Jiwei City according to the planned schedule.”
Yoshimura Yuichi ordered, then sighed as he looked at the eager staff officers below him.
“I’ll explain the situation back ho. The disappearance of the 1st Airborne Regint this ti is not our responsibility, but the result of the Chan Country Governnt’s irresponsibility.”
Upon hearing this, many military staff officers breathed a sigh of relief.
“Additionally, the 9th Division, 7th Division, and Aviation Mixed Group newly dispatched from ho, totaling twenty-two thousand soldiers, will arrive in Chan Country in the next ten days.
I reckon we won’t be able to take Jiwei City, and Ji State will most likely fall into the hands of the Jieke Group. We cannot accept this outco, so we must be prepared for the upcoming battle. This Jieke Group is even more troubleso and fearso than we expected.”
Yoshimura Yuichi shifted to another concern. As the Chan Country Governnt Army was blocked from aiding Jiwei City and Ji State faced imminent danger, the Eight Nation Group beca anxious.
The countries coordinated with each other to assist Japan in transporting soldiers and equipnt.
Otherwise, transporting a twenty-thousand-strong military force from thousands of kiloters away by sea would not be possible in such a short period of ti, given the troubles and preparations involved.
“Excellent, with these twenty thousand troops, especially once the fighters reach Chan Country and we regain air superiority, the advantage in this war will return to us,” said the officers below, their spirits uplifted. The extre difficulty of this war so far was 90% due to losing air superiority at the outset.
If we had air control, that heavy combined brigade of the Jieke Group, traveling across the plains toward Jiwei City, would have been bombed to ruin first, instead of being like it is now – a nail in our side that has led to the encirclent of fifty thousand Chan Country Soldiers.
“With the arrival of twenty thousand elite troops, we will make sure the Jieke Group is wiped out. Gentlen, may you have the fortunes of war.” Yoshimura Yuichi stood up, his expression serious.
“Yes, long live the Emperor!” the group of staff officers stood up, their faces fervent.
……
The struggle for Jiwei City continued, and since the turn of the new century, this siege has been one of the most brutal urban battles.
Countless countries are watching intensely, looking to learn from the experiences and lessons, to refine and specially train their own armies.
On the internet, both the Chan Country Governnt and the Jieke Group upload videos of the ongoing battle daily, drawing the attention of the onlookers.
“Is Jieke Group’s electronic warfare systems really that powerful? Not even a drone can get close to Jiwei City.”
“Have you seen the sniper Tipasang from the Jieke Group, his first-person sniper perspective? His accuracy is unreal! Shot after shot, headshots, I’ve heard his kill count has surpassed two hundred, almost rivaling those legendary snipers from World War II.”
“The Chan Country Governnt is bogged down in urban warfare; their indiscriminate bombing of military and civilian targets isn’t achieving much. Large areas of the city are still in Jieke Group’s hands.”
“Look at the news, Japan’s 1st Airborne Regint has been wiped out, haha, delightful to hear.”
While everyone discussed enthusiastically, half a month passed in a flash.
The Chan Country Governnt continued to deploy troops to contest Jiwei City, but the effects were negligible at best.
Especially during the last half-month’s offensive, nightti beca a nightmare for those Chan Country Soldiers.
It was not just the transition from day to night; the enemies they faced shifted from human to the inhuman Fierce Ghosts.
At first, the Chan Country Soldiers were bewildered; but gradually, they ca to their senses.
Although they did not know how the Jieke Group managed to annihilate reginted defense forces without leaking a whisper of news, those Chan Country Soldiers no longer wished to stay in Jiwei City at night.
The Chan Country Army indeed made efforts, such as establishing a relief system and sending telegrams every ten minutes, but this still failed to prevent the wholesale disappearance of entire units.
When one unit lost contact and the relief forces arrived at the location, they only found a scene strewn with corpses, or even the relief forces themselves would go missing.
In the end, even the Chan Country Governnt could not sustain such losses. Having the stationed forces suffer casualties ranging from a few hundred to over a thousand nightly was unsustainable, no matter how resourceful one might be.
Eventually, the Chan Country Governnt had to relinquish parts of Jiwei City they had occupied, and these areas were retaken by the Jieke Group. The offensive beca increasingly feeble.
In face of the trendous losses, the morale of the entire encircling Chan Country Army around Jiwei City crumbled, and they could no longer pose a credible threat.
When the Chan Country Governnt abandoned the attempt to capture Jiwei City, the fifty thousand elite Chan Country Soldiers besieged in Jinlao Mountain t their doom.
