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

Chapter 1098 Two-sided attack

Northern defense line.

"Report! A large-scale armored force appeared in the north!" The scouts of the Kuisang Division reported in horror.

But before Division Commander Wei Sang could react, deafening artillery fire resounded through the sky.

"Begin the attack!" Li Feier stood on the command vehicle and said in a cold voice, "The first wave of firepower coverage!"

振兴师的炮兵团瞬间展开。24门105毫米榴弹炮，12门150毫米重炮，4门100毫米加农炮同时开火。密集的炮弹如雨点般落在北面防线上。

&34;Boom! Boom! Boom!&34;

The rocket artillery company's salvo followed closely, and dozens of rockets cut through the sky with a whistling sound.

"What kind of troops are these?" Division Commander Wei Sang's face turned pale. He had never seen such a dense firepower network.

"Armored Regiment, prepare to attack!" Li Feier continued to order, "GD Grenadiers will deploy from the left wing, and Fusiliers will outflank from the right wing!"

The steel torrent began to move. Dozens of Tiger tanks were in the front, followed by medium tanks, and armored vehicles carrying fully armed grenadiers advanced rapidly under the cover of the tanks.

"Defend...Defend! Defend quickly!" Division Commander Wei Sang shouted at the top of his lungs.

But how can the equipment and training level of the Class B Division compete with this elite division?

&34;Da da da!&34;

Hundreds of MG42 general-purpose machine guns opened fire at the same time, forming an impenetrable fire network. Before the soldiers of the Kuisang Division had time to set up fortifications, they were beaten to pieces.

"Assault artillery battalion, provide cover!" Li Feier's eyes were sharp, "Scouting battalion, cut off their retreat!"

The assault guns roared forward, destroying the enemy's firing points one by one. The armored vehicles of the reconnaissance battalion outflanked the enemy at high speed, cutting off the retreat of the defending troops.

&34;It&34;s over...it&;s all over...&;

Division Commander Wei Sang watched his troops being defeated by the enemy's firepower. The reserve regiment was even more vulnerable, and many soldiers simply threw away their weapons and fled.

"Assault!" Li Feier gave the order.

The GD Grenadiers and Fusiliers launched a charge under the cover of the armored forces. Each Grenadiers company was equipped with 18 MG34 light machine guns and 10 MG42 general-purpose machine guns, with a firepower density that was suffocating.

&34;Boom!&34;

A 150mm heavy artillery shell hit the command post of the Weisang Division, blowing the division commander and his staff to pieces.

The northern defense line, without a commander, was in chaos. Although the Yuan'an Division was a Class C division, it was still fighting hard. However, in front of the Zhenxing Division's terrifying firepower, their resistance seemed so pale and powerless.

"Report to the division commander!" The communications battalion sent a good news: "The northern defense line has been breached! The enemy is in complete disarray!"

Li Feier stood in the command vehicle, watching all this coldly: "Order the armored regiment to continue the pursuit! Don't give them a chance to regroup!"

The 18,000-man Zhenxing Division tore through the northern defense line in just half an hour. Their well-trained tactical movements, dense firepower configuration, and powerful armored forces all frightened the enemy.

At this moment, the Skeleton Division in the east had also broken through the inner city wall. Kyoto was gradually falling under the attack of two steel torrents.

Western defense line.

"Panzer Artillery Regiment, get ready!" Otto ordered calmly, "All artillery in place!"

120门105毫米榴弹炮，40门150毫米重炮，180门75毫米山炮迅速展开阵地。而在最后方，12门203毫米口径的&34；雷神之锤&34；重炮缓缓调转炮口。

This terrifying heavy artillery, with each shell weighing hundreds of kilograms, is enough to raze any fortification to the ground.

"Start bombarding!" Otto ordered.

&34;Boom!&34;

Twelve "Thor's Hammers" fired at the same time, and the deafening sound of the guns made the earth tremble. Every 12mm caliber heavy artillery shell that fell created a huge crater with a diameter of tens of meters on the defense line.

"Oh my God...Oh my God..." The Fuso officer on the western defense line looked at the horrific power of the explosion with a pale face.

Soon after, other artillery pieces also began firing in unison. The firepower network formed by 188 artillery pieces of various types completely covered the entire defense line.

&34；第5装甲团，第6装甲团，准备突击！&34；奥托继续下令，&34；装甲掷弹兵团掩护！&34；

720 armored vehicles roared forward. Under the bombardment of "Thor's Hammer", the defense line had been shattered and it was impossible to organize an effective defense.

&34;Assault!&34;

9000 armored grenadiers charged under the cover of armored vehicles. Each platoon was equipped with four MG4 machine guns, and the dense firepower completely suppressed the remaining resistance.

&34;Boom!&34;

Another round of "Thor's Hammer" salvos. The 34mm caliber heavy artillery shells completely destroyed a bunker and the defenders inside, leaving only a huge crater in its place.

"This... is this still a human weapon?" The Fuso officer looked at the steel behemoths in despair.

At this time, the Totenkopf Division in the east and the Revitalization Division in the north were also advancing. The three armored divisions were gradually eroding the city's defense line.

Watanabe Motoyasu slumped in the chair in the command center, listening to the explosions coming from three directions, and had completely lost the courage to resist.

Under the devastating bombardment of "Thor's Hammer" and the impenetrable attack of three armored divisions, the fall of Kyoto has become inevitable.

Just when Kyoto was in a desperate situation of being attacked from three sides, a deafening roar suddenly came from the south.

Just when Kyoto was in a desperate situation of being attacked from three sides, a deafening roar suddenly came from the south.

&34;Report! A large-scale armored force has also appeared in the south... in the south! &34;

Watanabe Motoyasu's legs went limp and he collapsed to the ground.

The four ace divisions launched a general attack at the same time!

Southern defense line.

"Imperial Division, start the attack!" Klinge stood on the command vehicle and said in a cold voice, "Three grenadier regiments are deployed, and the assault regiment is ready!"

Two heavy artillery battalions quickly took up their positions, with dense artillery fire covering the southern defense line. Rockets from the rocket regiment blasted huge craters on the defense line.

At this moment, Kyoto was in a desperate situation of being besieged from all sides:

To the east is Ike's Skeleton Division.

To the north is Li Feier's revitalization division,

To the west is Otto's Northern Division,

To the south was the Imperial Division led by Klinge.

A steel torrent of nearly 100,000 people is attacking Kyoto from four directions at the same time.

"Hosen!" Klinghe ordered the deputy division commander, "Order the two armored battalions to prepare for the assault! The reconnaissance battalion is responsible for cutting off their retreat!"

The four armored divisions coordinated closely via radio:

&34;Ike, breached the inner wall to the east.&34;

"Lee Feil, the northern defense line has collapsed."

&34;Otto, Thor's hammer is destroying the western defenses.&34;

"Very good," Klingher sneered, "let's give Kyoto a final blow!"

The steel torrent was advancing unstoppably towards Kyoto. The tacit tactical coordination of the four armored divisions was pushing the city step by step into the abyss of destruction.

Watanabe Motoyasu slumped in the headquarters, his face ashen: "It's over... Everything is over..."
