It's dawn.
The battle was over, but sporadic gunshots could be heard from time to time in various places.
The morale of the Sox soldiers plummeted, and after the attack failed, they immediately retreated their defense line. The Huacang Allied Forces immediately advanced several kilometers from various points.
It occupies almost two-thirds of Gustavo's area.
But what troubled them was that the Sox soldiers seemed to be planning to hide in one place and fight stubbornly.
A forced attack might allow them to completely capture the city, but the losses would definitely be huge, which was not what they wanted to see.
The best way at the moment is.
Surround it and bomb it.
Before the enemy loses air superiority and has mature air defense weapons, this is the best way to deal a heavy blow to them.
…
Casto, only tens of kilometers away from Gustavo.
They had received Gustavo's request for help a long time ago, but they were now uniting with other cities, and most of the troops were being mobilized to Toente, the largest city in Wuxi State.
Sox's senior generals would never allow the army to give up attacking the largest city in Wuxi Kingdom in order to support Gustavo.
Even if the position is lost, we can still fight it back. Huacang and Wuxi Kingdom are also mobilizing their forces. If we miss the best opportunity to attack...
Apart from airdropping some supplies using large transport planes... they didn't say anything else.
The meaning couldn't be more obvious.
Hold on a little longer, I'm counting on you.
…
Those supplies are really a drop in the bucket in comparison. They can only alleviate the immediate needs. When will the next supply come?
Some of them couldn't help but waver in their hearts... their once firm faith was gradually collapsing, to the point where they were looting supplies...
…
In half a month, they launched the War of Toent, and nearly 200,000 troops from both sides were involved in the battlefield.
Nearly a thousand fighter planes took off in turns to bomb Tonte. On the first day alone, hundreds of Sox's planes were shot down.
But the results they achieved were undoubtedly significant. Not only did they seize some air superiority, but they also greatly destroyed some important facilities of the enemy.
The fighting lasted for several days.
The Huacang Allied Forces were completely at a disadvantage.
There were a total of 40,000 Wuxi State soldiers and 20,000 Huacang soldiers in this city, but the other side had a force of over 100,000.
The problem faced by the Huacang Alliance Army is that it does not have an advantage in numbers and its quality is also worrying.
So they had no choice but to defend. They were not out of ammunition and food yet. Moreover, even if all the troops from all over Wuxi State were transferred here, they would not be able to resist the enemy's army.
After reporting the situation to the higher-ups, they only responded with eight words.
"Defend yourself with all your might, and if you fail, attack from behind."
The general meaning is to defend what you can, and abandon those important strongholds that you cannot defend, disperse your forces to establish small strongholds, and use the complex terrain of the city to carry out roundabout and interspersed attacks.
The latter is the worst case scenario.
…
The eastern waters of Wuxi State.
It is still firmly in Sox's hands.
…
A transport ship traveling along a supply route, escorted by several warships.
"What's going on? I think I saw the radar detect something just now."
"Are you dazzled? Why didn't the radar detect an alarm?"
“Who knows…”
Before he could finish his words, a warship ahead was suddenly hit violently by something that looked like a big one.
"What is this?"
"It's an unknown giant... Weren't all the sirens in this area driven away by the repelling missiles?"
"have no idea……"
Bang!
There was another collision. The other party was obviously awakened or its territory was invaded. It was extremely angry and kept pestering them.
"Bomb locked!"
"Beat him, you fool!" John Ross was also a little angry and gave the order directly.
boom!
The underwater missile was launched directly the next second and accurately hit the giant monster.
"The other party has no signs of life."
"snort."
Jon Ross snorted coldly, but at this moment his eyes suddenly looked somewhere.
"Radar detected dozens of fighter jets flying towards us."
"Confirm their identities."
…
The other party did not slow down, and no matter how they shouted, there was no response.
John Ross acted decisively and ordered the use of the few anti-aircraft guns on the ship.
At the same time, notify the near-shore troops and launch fighter jets to intercept.
Hopefully they can hold on.
…
"Have the coordinates been determined?"
"Confirmed."
"Prepare to drop the bomb."
…
Dozens of minutes later, fighter jets appeared in their sight, approaching at an extremely fast speed.
"Loaded."
"emission!"
Tuying and Changkong took off at the same time to avoid the enemy's artillery shells, opened the bomb bays, and the artillery shells accurately hit the warship below.
After emptying the bomb bay, the flight formation quickly flew away and returned home. During this period, they only shot down one Tuhawk.
They already had three warships that were seriously damaged and were emitting billowing black smoke.
"Report, radar detected nearly fifty fighter planes flying towards us."
Jon Ross's face twitched.
A flight formation of thirty planes... is enough to blow them to pieces.
"Full speed ahead... all weapons ready for action..."
"Report, radar detected another group of fighter planes..."
Jon Ross almost burst out cursing.
"How did those damn scouts do their reconnaissance mission? The enemy built a naval base right under our noses. Are they all blind?"
He subconsciously thought that the other party had unknowingly built a temporary naval base... because only in this way could the fighter planes' fuel be guaranteed to return safely.
But when he saw two huge monsters slowly emerging from the distant horizon, he suddenly remembered why the Luca Kingdom had withdrawn its troops...
"Is this going to be a war?"
It’s a pity that they were the ones who became cannon fodder.
…
"Is this the legendary behemoth? Displacement of over 50,000 tons... How did they do it?"
When Hua Cang's fleet appeared, the nearshore headquarters on land had already received the news.
In the huge conference room, they looked solemn.
"This thing's greatest use is as a mobile sea base, but its own defenses are low, which is why there are so many warships escorting it... If we send fighter jets to bomb it... it might not be impossible to succeed."
"This will affect the war between Wuxi and Aris. We've finally gained air superiority in some areas, so it's only a matter of time before we capture them!"
"Mr. Lord, please understand that the enemy's goal is clearly to target the waters near Wuxi Nation... If we don't destroy that giant, then everyone should pack up and go home!"
Everyone was silent.
Being able to fight to this point would be a fatal problem if there were no logistical supply, and what they rely on now is this sea supply line.
If it is gone, the consequences can be imagined.
Success or failure will determine the direction of the entire battlefield!
