Chapter 401 Battle of Tieyang

Ichiro Aso's eyes reflected the sky full of gunfire, and his heart seemed to be burning with fire, and his blood was boiling.

After the outbreak of the Black Tide War, in order to deal with the comprehensive threat brought by the Wolf Attack, the giant companies spent a lot of money to mix their various elite troops with the original army of the World Government to form a powerful group army.

Ichiro Aso is the joint commander-in-chief of the Third, Fifth, Ninth, Eleventh and Twelfth Group Armies of the World Government. He currently leads 800,000 troops including the group army headquarters, local mobilized troops, and the Wolf Attack surrender army, and is conducting the "Iron Sun Campaign".

Iron Sun City is one of the five major metropolises in the World Government's territory, the "Industrial City", covering an area as large as three Crescent Cities, with extremely rich industrial reserves and a complete military industry system. In addition, there are mineral veins and mining chains required for military raw materials in the surrounding areas and underground, and they do not rely on external transportation.

Iron Sun is an out-and-out manufacturing city. Everything in the city is born for industry. It is also the logistics heart of the entire World Government's territory.

As long as Tieyang is still there, no matter how the front line is, no matter how much equipment is damaged, this logistics heart can run at full industrial horsepower and continuously supply various weapons.

From cutting-edge prostheses to the most basic rifles, there is nothing that Tieyang can't make, and he can arm one army after another at any time.

For this reason, Tieyang has always been one of the main offensive targets of the Wolf Raid Rebellion.

The base of the Wolf Raid Rebellion is in the no-man's land. Although they have mastered many technical relics through the relics of the old era, they have not built a complete military industry chain due to the limitations of hard conditions.

The military equipment of the Wolf Raid Rebellion mainly comes from the warlords it annexed and the spoils after winning the battle. It is very miscellaneous and unsystematic.

This is why the Wolf Raid was fierce in the early stage of the war and penetrated the border patrol stations across the board, but the subsequent offensive stagnated.

Because their war potential is limited by industry, it can only be exerted to that extent.

Wolf Raid targeted Tieyang, on the one hand to cut off the logistical supply of the World Government Army, and on the other hand to turn this industrial heart into their own use.

A month ago, the Wolf Raid rebels launched another large-scale offensive. Wolf King Fenrir personally led the army from the north to advance, bringing the war to the vicinity of the capital, and tying down a large number of World Government troops.

At the same time, she sent her trusted Red Wolf Xibel to lead another main force to attack Tieyang, intending to occupy this logistics center.

Xibel's attack was very smooth. Through several siege and annihilation battles, he swallowed up the defense strongholds around Tieyang, surrounded this industrial capital into an iron barrel, and trapped the defenders inside.

However, since Tieyang was designed to cope with high-intensity wars, it had very complete fortress fortifications and sufficient supplies. Without any external assistance, the defenders could support it for up to five years.

For Wolf Raid, who was fighting outside his homeland, this was obviously unacceptable.

If they cannot take down Tieyang quickly, they will face the same situation as they did several times in the past year - they can win the battle but cannot defend it. They will have to spit out as much as they swallowed before facing the counterattack.

Therefore, the Wolf Attack was determined to win the siege of Tieyang this time, intending to take it down completely.

As for the Wolf Attack, Commander Xibel and his staff team conducted a comprehensive analysis of the battlefield and decided to use the troops of the headquarters to attack, and ordered other Wolf Attack troops in the surrounding areas to temporarily cancel their tasks and cover the rear wing for the main force of the Tieyang battlefield.

The front of the army and the rear wing are firmly defended. This is a very standard set of offensive tactics.

But Xibel didn't know that the "friendly troops" she transferred from the surrounding areas had actually been bought by the World Government and became surrendered troops.

When Xibel led the main force to launch a full-scale attack on Tieyang, the surrendered troops in the rear immediately cooperated with the Tieyang defenders to surround it, sandwiching it like a hamburger.

The original encirclement became encirclement. The troops led by Sibel could neither advance nor retreat, and immediately fell into the meat grinder called Tieyang.

And the planner of all these tactics was Ichiro Aso.

Among the many generals of the World Government, Ichiro Aso is a legend. He is not the stereotyped image of a fat-bellied general in the eyes of outsiders. He is not only tall and strong, but also a powerful prosthetic implanter.

Ichiro Aso has replaced his whole body with a "high-risk level 1" prosthetic, and can skillfully control the "fourth gear overload". Even if he looks at the world, he is a top-notch strongman.

At the same time, Ichiro Aso is also a top student of the military academy. He has been in the military for decades and has rich experience in commanding large-scale operations. From the layout of the Tieyang Campaign, it can be seen that his command art is no less than any top commander.

It can be said that.

Among the soldiers, he has the highest official position.

Among the generals, he has the strongest combat power.

It is such a general who perfectly combines combat strength and command art who dominates the entire Tieyang battlefield.

At this time, Ichiro Aso was standing on a high place, overlooking the entire battlefield.

The sky was shrouded in endless haze, showing a nearly pitch-black color. They were not dark clouds, but the smoke that pierced the sky and gathered together, pressing down on the ground like a black mountain.

The air was filled with the smell of various things burning, and everywhere you looked, there were dense gunfire, rising pillars of fire, and piles of corpses.

A month has passed since the Battle of Tieyang. In front of the Wolf Raiders is the iron barrier of the city, with the strongest fortifications and the well-rested defenders. Behind them is the 800,000-strong army led by Ichiro Aso, which is pressing forward fiercely.

Dilemma, this word is the most appropriate to describe the Wolf Raiders at this time.

In this month, the original 600,000 main force of the Wolf Raiders has been worn down by one-third. Some were killed by artillery fire, some died in close combat, and some died of exhaustion in the dark battle.

The Wolf Raiders' front line is almost unstable. The elite led by Xibel are restrained by the extraordinary people of the same level, and they are too busy to take care of other places.

The remaining Wolf Raiders are also facing pressure from the front and back. There is a shortage of supplies, the wounded cannot be treated, and their companions fall one after another. They can only hold on in despair.

They were exhausted, covered with wounds, blood accumulated several inches thick on their bodies, and many of them even had incomplete limbs.

Breaking out from the center and from the inside was a pipe dream.

Relying on friendly rescue was impossible.

The world government's army was all around Tieyang, and the only main force of the Wolf King that could reverse the situation was also trapped in the northern battlefield. There were several seventh-stage strongmen of the same level as Fenrir, and she couldn't get out at all.

There was no hope.

The troops led by Xibel were no longer hopeful.

Aso Ichiro looked at the battlefield with satisfaction and smiled: "800,000 against 600,000, the advantage is mine."

"This kind of battle is easy to win even if a pig is commanding it, hahaha!"

The officers were all amused by the general's humor.

After laughing, Aso Ichiro gestured to the adjutant.

The adjutant turned on the communicator and sneered: "Prepare for the 117th attack. As usual, let those surrendered soldiers take the lead."

As the order was passed down to the grassroots, the sharp charge whistles tore through the sky, and the combat units of the World Government Army rushed into the battlefield from all directions.

No matter where you are, loyalty is relative.

The Wolf King can unite people with his iron fist and a set of passionate and magnificent ideals.

The World Government can also use money, women, and status to disintegrate the hearts of those who have united.

These Wolf Raiders who surrendered to the World Government, no matter what the reason for their rebellion, are willing to rush to the front, eager to make military achievements in front of their new masters, and mercilessly slaughter their former brothers.

Gun flames lit up everywhere, and the wind was full of gunpowder and shouts of killing. From where Aso Ichiro was, those soldiers had become extremely small. They bumped into each other, actually engaged in a cruel close-range meat-crushing war, but it looked like ants biting each other.

Seeing this, Ichiro Aso laughed and stroked his moustache.

His favorite tactic recently is to send these defectors to the front line to watch them bite each other with their former comrades.

No matter which side the dead are, it is so pleasing to the eye.

Just as Ichiro Aso was overlooking the new round of offensive, his adjutant suddenly received intelligence from the front line. He reported: "Sir, the news just came back that the Great Eagle Special Forces who carried out the decapitation operation were completely wiped out and no one survived."

Ichiro Aso snorted coldly after hearing this and cursed him as a waste.

No matter what era, the form of war will continue to change with the update of military equipment and tactical thinking.

For example, in the early days, feudal humans deployed troops.

Later, when firearms just came out, the line tactics at the junction of the cold weapon and hot weapon era.

Then to the trench warfare of the artillery infantry era, the steel torrent of the tank and airplane era, and the non-contact warfare of the information age.

In this era, due to the maturity of extraordinary technology, there are extraordinary people on the battlefield, and the form of war has also changed accordingly, and it has changed to a very ancient form - soldiers against soldiers, kings against kings.

For those top extraordinary people, it is too easy to enter and exit the battlefield.

Bombers will be shot down and missiles will be intercepted, but as a single unit, extraordinary people can easily cross the line of fire and attack the command center.

If there are no extraordinary people of the same level on one side, the other side will be like entering a no-man's land.

It is no exaggeration to say that which side has more powerful extraordinary people will have greater initiative on the battlefield.

So in this day and age, although technology is extremely advanced, there are many retro wonders in war.

Mortal soldiers shoot at each other in trenches.

Drones and Titan mechas and other weapons bombard each other back and forth.

The extraordinary people staged duels that only existed in ancient wars in front of the battle.

Each unit fights its own, affects each other, and finally decides the victory or defeat.

Previously, in order to further accelerate the defeat of the Wolf Raid Force, Aso Ichiro sent several special forces to cross the battlefield, hoping to directly behead Xibel.

These special forces were composed of elites with strength reaching the fifth stage of the extraordinary power system, but in the end, none of them returned.

If Xibel had not died, the backbone of the Wolf Raid Force would still be there, and it is very likely that they would have fought to the death here.

Although the defeat of the Wolf Raid was inevitable, it was only a matter of time.

But the pressure faced by Aso Ichiro was not as small as imagined.

Because the battlefield on the northern front was very tight.

Several orders had been received from the capital, asking him to annihilate the Wolf Raid Force as soon as possible to end the Tieyang Campaign, and then go north to encircle the main force led by Fenrir.

The superiors were anxious, and Aso Ichiro also fought anxiously. In just one month, he launched hundreds of general attacks, and the casualties were also not small.

Aso Ichiro asked with a straight face: "The reinforcements from Xinyue City will arrive today, right?"

The adjutant nodded: "Yes, they have already set out. There are 250,000 people in total, and they are not pure cannon fodder soldiers. Half of them are elite mercenaries from Edge and Moxue, and they are elite troops."

Ichiro Aso showed a satisfied look: "Yoshi, very good, with this support army, we will gain an overwhelming force advantage."

"In the next battle, you will command for me, and I will personally lead the team to find Xibel."

The adjutant hesitated for a moment and said with some concern: "Sir, should we be more cautious? We still have several special forces, and you don't have to go on the field yourself."

Ichiro Aso snorted coldly: "Facts have proved that the Red Wolf is not so easy to deal with. If you want to end the Tieyang Campaign in the near future, that red-haired kid must die."

The adjutant didn't say much. He really didn't have the qualifications to worry about the top powerhouse like the general who had reached the sixth stage of the extraordinary system.

On the devastated battlefield, the bloody wind raged and the smoke filled the air. The earth collapsed and sank under the continuous bombardment. Countless rubble was lifted into the sky by the airflow, and then fell back to the ground with burning embers, like a vast meteor shower.

Xibel stood in the center of the battlefield. Her body was highly wolf-like, with red mane covering her whole body, as if a blazing flame was burning. The sharp claws like blades constantly reflected the cold light, which was daunting.

However, her body was full of hideous wounds, like a cracked mouth, with black and red blood gushing out from it, which was extremely terrifying.

After a full month of high-intensity combat, Xibel could no longer count how many enemies she had killed. Many bones in her body were broken and her organs were seriously damaged.

The reason why she could still stand here and continue to fight, and even her strength was stronger and more domineering than at the beginning, was nothing more than the influence of the wolf blood code. This blood code destined that the more injured the host was, the stronger the power stimulated.

But even if it is a high-level God-Blessed Canglang Blood Code, it has a limit and cannot hold on forever.

As the battle progressed, Xibel's injuries were getting closer and closer to the limit of collapse. The god of death had been watching her not far away, but there was still no hope in this war.

Xibel looked at the people fighting in the distance, her eyes full of sadness.

Those traitors who surrendered to the enemy were sent out to rush to the front. Looking around, they were all fighting "themselves".

Brothers and friends who had drunk together a few months ago are now fighting with weapons, roaring and screaming with bloodshot eyes, trying to take each other's lives.

Fratricide, how sad it is. (End of this chapter)
