Warlords: Rising from the Northwest Border and Sweeping Across the Powers

Chapter 1211 Hit the snake 7 inches

On the outskirts of Nev Town, an assault platoon under Feng Jian's command had quietly approached. They advanced quickly in the snow, with their Iron Fist rocket launchers and light mortars ready.

"Attention, all platoon members," the platoon leader whispered, "Target Nev Town, launch the assault."

Following the order, the assault platoon's armored vehicles started their engines and quickly advanced towards the town of Nev. Rocket launchers and machine gunners were on the vehicles, ready to suppress the defenders' positions.

"The enemy is coming!" In the town of Nev, Battalion Commander Korzakov shouted, "Everyone prepare for battle!"

The defenders quickly took up their combat positions, and machine guns and anti-tank guns began firing at the assault platoon, with bullets forming a web in the air, trying to stop the enemy's attack.

But Feng Jian's assault platoon was well-trained, and they used the terrain to cover and quickly launched an attack. The tail flame of the rocket launcher drew a bright trajectory in the wind and snow, accurately hitting the firepower point of the defenders.

"We can't hold on!" a soldier shouted in horror. "Their firepower is too strong!"

Korzakov gritted his teeth and said, "Hold on! We must defend the town of Nev. Reinforcements will arrive soon!"

But as the assault platoons approached, the defenders' defenses began to retreat. Armored vehicles fired machine guns at the streets, mortars exploded one after another, and the buildings in Nev Town were crumbling in the artillery fire.

"Retreat!" Korzakov finally gave the order, "We must reorganize our defense line!"

The defenders were forced to retreat under the fierce attack of the enemy and tried to engage in street fighting in the narrow streets of the town, but Feng Jian's assault platoon pressed forward step by step, leaving them no chance to breathe.

In this sudden assault, the defenders of Nev Town were in a desperate situation. Although they fought back, facing Feng Jian's elite troops, their defense line was gradually collapsing.

In the streets of Nev Town, the fighting became increasingly fierce.

"Keep cover!" Korzakov hid behind a brick building and shouted, "Don't fight too long, fight and retreat at the same time!"

The assault platoon's armored vehicles advanced through the streets, and machine gunners continued to fire at suspicious buildings. The defenders were forced to hide behind ruins and houses, fighting back with rifles and light machine guns.

"Boom!" A rocket hit the commanding height of the street corner, and gravel and dust flew everywhere. Two machine gunners jumped down from the burning building, but one of them was hit by shrapnel and fell in a pool of blood.

"Medic! Help!" his comrades shouted.

But under the dense firepower, the medical soldiers could not get close at all. The machine guns of the armored vehicles covered the entire street with firepower, and any moving target would be hit immediately.

"Sir!" the messenger ran to Korzakov, "The eastern defense line has been breached! The enemy is outflanking our flank!"

Korzakov gritted his teeth. They were now at a crossroads, and could be attacked from all directions. But if they continued to retreat, it would mean giving up the last advantageous terrain.

"Concentrate all the anti-tank rocket launchers here!" he ordered. "We must stop their armored vehicles here!"

Several soldiers moved quickly with rocket launchers, but the sniper of the assault platoon had already aimed at this position. A gunshot rang out, and a rocket launcher fell to the ground.

"Cover!" Korzakov raised his submachine gun and fired in the direction of the enemy, "Get into the bunker quickly!"

At this moment, two armored vehicles suddenly rushed out from the side street, and machine guns fired wildly. The defenders had to retreat again and shrink the battle line to the square near the center of the town.

"They are surrounding us," the deputy battalion commander said palely, "We are trapped!"

Korzakov looked around. The streets he once knew were now a death trap, with enemy ambushes hiding around every corner. Thick smoke filled the air between the buildings, and explosions and gunfire could be heard one after another.

"Bring all the ammunition to the square," he said solemnly, "we will organize the last line of defense here."

But the assault platoon's attack became more and more fierce. Armored vehicles shuttled back and forth on the streets, and rocket launchers continued to attack buildings. The defenders' positions collapsed little by little in the artillery fire.

&34;Report to the battalion commander! &34;A soldier ran over, &34;The ammunition depot is on fire! We must move immediately! &34;

Korzakov looked at the burning ammunition depot, his heart aching. This was their last resort, and now they were going to lose it.

In this fierce street battle, the defenders of Nev Town were losing their positions step by step. The tactics of the assault platoon were extremely sophisticated. They used the firepower advantage of armored vehicles and the flexible mobility of infantry to suppress the defenders in an increasingly smaller area.

&34；继续坚持！&34；科尔扎科夫对着无线电大喊，&34；64装甲师很快就会到达！我们一定要守住！&34；

But he knew in his heart that if the reinforcements did not arrive, Nev Town would become their burial place. In this brutal street battle, the assault platoon of the Northern Division was eating away at their defense line inch by inch.

"General Kulikov!" Korzakov's voice trembled in the communicator. "Where are the reinforcements? We are almost unable to hold on!"

Explosions and gunfire echoed in the background.

&34；科尔扎科夫，冷静！&34；库里科夫急切地说，&34；64装甲师正在赶来...&34；

"General, my wife is in town too!" Korzakov almost shouted, "If reinforcements don't arrive, we will all die here! You know, Masha is pregnant... Our child hasn't been born yet..."

Kulikov's heart suddenly tightened. Korzakov's wife Masha, the daughter of his old friend, insisted on staying in Nev Town to accompany her husband, but now she was also in danger.

&34；坚持住，我这就联系彼得罗夫！&34；库里科夫立即切换频道，&34；64装甲师！彼得罗夫！立即回话！&34；

&34；报告将军，&34；彼得罗夫的声音充满疲惫，&34；我们被北地师第一装甲营死死咬住，211团和215团都已经陷入苦战...&34；

"I don't care what you do," Kulikov snapped. "Nevsk must be rescued! Korzakov and his wife are there!"

"General," Petrov's voice suddenly became firm, "I can't let the entire division fall into the trap of the Northern Division just to save one person! This is exactly what Otto wants!"

&34;What did you say?&34;

&34；您看不出来吗？&34；彼得罗夫继续说，&34；奥托就是要用涅夫镇引诱我们分兵增援！现在我的两个主力团都已经陷入重围，如果213机械团再贸然突击...&34；

&34;But Korzakov...&34;

"General," Petrov interrupted, "I sympathize with Captain Korzakov, but this is war! I can't let the entire 34th Armored Division die for one person! The Northern Division has set up a dragnet, and we have fallen into their trap!"

Kulikov was silent. As a general, he knew that Petrov was right. But as a person...

"General!" Korzakov's voice came again, "The enemy has broken through to the square! Masha... Masha she..."

Communications were suddenly interrupted.

Standing in the command center, Kulikov felt so powerless for the first time. He knew that Petrov's decision was correct militarily, but this decision might make him feel guilty towards his old friend forever.

"Otto..." he whispered, "You made a brilliant move..."
