Chapter 132 Heaven and Earth Unite as One

At this time, at the southern checkpoint.

Even Lyman himself has left, so it's easy to imagine how low the morale of the remaining border control officers stationed here is.

After being ravaged by a volley of rockets, some fled and others surrendered.

[The host has militarily taken control of the southern checkpoint, enabling monitoring of all smuggled goods entering and leaving the checkpoint, further expanding their influence.]

Civilian goods (food, fertilizer, etc.) have been unlocked and can be purchased with regular points. They can only appear in the rear areas completely under the host's control and cannot be directly deployed to the front lines. Note that these items are currently quite expensive; their price will decrease as more territory is controlled.

[Unlock basic medical supplies, including blood and various basic medical devices (can only be found in rear hospitals, currently unavailable in field hospitals)]

[New Basic Abilities: In addition to the existing five basic abilities, "Fire Control" and "Driving (Land Vehicles Only)" have been unlocked, bringing the total to seven basic abilities.]

[The host has failed to take control of the town near the checkpoint, and new features are temporarily unavailable.]

[No host was found to own an airport; related functions cannot be unlocked]

Milton glanced at the panel and nodded slightly.

Then he looked down at the somewhat excited soldiers below.

"Gentlemen, victory is not yet complete, and now is not the time to celebrate," Milton said loudly. "The scouts have reported that Lyman has completely surrendered the checkpoint and is prepared to fight us to the bitter end in the streets."

"I believe everyone knows what he's up to."

"He's stalling for time, trying to hold out until reinforcements arrive."

"This time, the enemy possesses anti-aircraft missiles, absolute superiority in terrain information, and a variety of anti-armor weapons..."

Milton paused for a moment before continuing, “The battle that follows will be difficult and brutal. But my friends, we have no way out. We must win, or the good life you have just begun will vanish, and the wealth you have worked so hard to accumulate will be taken away… No, it will be worse than that.”

"Think back to the time of the old stationmaster Varta, what kind of life did you live!"

"Our fight today is so that our children will never have to fight again. Otherwise, if we don't fight, they will be the ones to fight!"

“If someone sacrifices their life, I guarantee that their sacrifice will not be in vain. Their children and wife will receive a very generous compensation and will be given a decent and well-paying job unconditionally.”

"I am with you, charge with me."

The soldiers were filled with fervor, and they raised their hands and shouted, "For our children! For the right to live!"

"Long live Milton!"

"Come on!"

"..."

Since the enemy was prepared to fight to the bitter end, Milton had no choice but to fight back.

He spent over two million red points to raise his "strength, stamina, marksmanship, speed, and reaction" to 75 points on the panel, and also raised the newly added "artillery control" and "land vehicle driving" to 75 points.

We'll give it our all, we'll fight!
Soon, Milton left some defenders behind and led his convoy toward the town of Akoch.

But Milton wasn't stupid; he wouldn't just charge straight through.

First, the armored vehicles will not travel on roads; they will try to penetrate quickly from unexpected angles, and they will be divided into four groups to infiltrate from multiple directions.

The Ishimaya sniper team is on standby, and self-propelled mortars and anti-aircraft guns are also on standby in the distance. As soon as the enemy is spotted, they will be sniped and bombarded.

Of course, Milton was also prepared for the loss of armored vehicles, or even a large number of them.

Anyway, I still have 1000 million points on hand. If I lose them, I'll just exchange them and keep pushing forward!
In urban warfare, armored vehicles are expendable.

As he got closer to his target, Milton felt a growing sense of tension.

However, at that moment, he suddenly saw several bursts of fire from violent explosions on the street not far away, which could be considered the entrance to the town.

Several police officers, armed with automatic rifles and submachine guns, split into two teams and appeared to be shouting something as they threw a large number of grenades into two buildings on either side of the street.

An M2 Browning heavy machine gun and a body dressed in a border control officer's uniform flew out of the building and crashed heavily to the ground.

Moreover, smoke from gunfire could be seen rising and falling in other parts of the town...

Milton looked a little bewildered and picked up the walkie-talkie: "Call 'Bottle'."

Flora's voice came through: "'Bottle' received."

"Why is there fighting on enemy territory? Do you have any relevant intelligence?"

"The investigation team has not received any relevant intelligence yet; this must have just happened."

"Notify me immediately of any relevant information." Milton nodded. "In any case, problems within the enemy ranks are a good thing for us."

“Okay… uh, I got a message.” Flora was about to end the call when she suddenly changed her mind. “It really just happened—the scouts said that Lyman’s team is fighting amongst themselves. No, not fighting amongst themselves, it should be an uprising. The scouts saw a civilian using very poor weapons ambushing Lyman’s combat personnel in a room.”

An uprising?!

Milton paused for a moment, even in the most optimistic plan he had never considered the possibility of an uprising within the enemy ranks.

The plan was that all the armored vehicles under his command would be destroyed, and more than half of the infantry casualties would be considered normal losses.

This is urban warfare, it's a meat grinder.

It turns out that it wasn't them fighting in the urban warfare, but Lyman?

What do you mean by a reversal of polarity?
"We can't miss this opportunity!" Milton keenly sensed the chance. "Quick! Charge! That street is crucial, charge! Hold it!"

"Scouts, infiltrate in! The townspeople don't mind us; they're helping us! Quick, infiltrate! Charge in!"

"If we can find the air defense positions and the air defense missiles, our chances of winning will increase and our casualties will be greatly reduced!"

After Milton finished shouting, he climbed onto the gun emplacement and aimed the cannon at the building to the right of the street where the fierce battle was taking place. A surviving inspector crawled out from a machine gun emplacement on the second floor and tried to operate the machine gun to fire at the street.

The police officers on the first floor, perhaps because their hearing was impaired by the grenade explosion, did not notice anything amiss and were instead gathering to begin their assault on the building from left to right.

With a heavy machine gun mounted on the right, it could inflict massive casualties on the police officers storming the building on the left.

dong dong dong...

Milton didn't hesitate and fired a short shot in that direction.

The man, along with his gun and machine gun, flew into the sky.

……

Boom boom boom!
Balam, who was organizing the assault on the building, was startled when he heard several loud explosions from his right. He quickly lay down and looked to his right.

All that could be seen were pieces of the body and a pile of gun parts falling down together.

Balam paused for a moment, then turned around and saw an armored vehicle with smoke billowing from its cannon rushing toward them at high speed.

"They have cannons, but they didn't indiscriminately bomb the whole town!" Balram exclaimed excitedly. "I told you, overthrowing Lyman and welcoming Milton is absolutely no problem!"

"on!"

Soon, Balam killed the two remaining inspectors on the second floor and took over the house at the street corner.

The other floor was quickly occupied by Milton Group combat personnel who arrived at the scene.

The rear door of the infantry fighting vehicle opened, and several soldiers jumped out, quickly asking, "Where are the enemies?"

Balam quickly walked to the police car, took out a map from the trunk, and said, "I'll circle it for you, but this is just the general information I have. They must have set up ambushes in other places as well."

"I saw some landmines at the police station earlier. They may have planted landmines. You must be careful..."

"Oh, the police station has already revolted, it's safe over there, but you still need to attack." "No problem..."

As they spoke, several armored vehicles rushed in from the positions where sporadic gunfire had broken out—first seizing the positions where Lyman was resisting.

You should know that it's Lyman who's engaged in street fighting right now!
By seizing this opportunity, we can minimize the loss of armored vehicles.

On a street, several of Lyman's men tried to storm a town resident's house, but were driven out by continuous gunfire from inside.

As soon as I turned around, I saw a fully armed soldier holding an MGL Y2 grenade launcher, pulling the trigger in our direction.

Boom boom boom!
The M381 high-explosive grenade flew out and landed right at the feet of the group.

That small area instantly turned into a sea of ​​fire, and several of Lyman's men were blasted into the air.

Fearing he wasn't completely dead, the soldier fired a few more shots.

Given the opportunity, Milton would never mind trying out the "Van Fleet ammunition load".

"Everyone, get down! Don't get hurt by stray bullets and shrapnel!" a young soldier shouted. "The battle will be over soon!"

A shout came from inside the house: "Watch out, there's a landmine around that corner. I saw Lyman put it there with my own eyes."

"grateful."

"That room, Lyman's men went into that room!"

"grateful."

"Be careful when the armored vehicle passes by. I saw someone take an RPG upstairs."

"We'll keep an eye out."

"Sir, would you like something to eat?"

"No."

The soldiers charged forward, receiving help from the townspeople almost every step of the way.

Not for any other reason than that the town had previously suffered a large-scale gang raid, and Lyman's approach was to find the approximate location and then start indiscriminately bombing that area!
Milton clearly possessed incendiary weapons that were impossible to extinguish, and he had so many cannons, yet he was so restrained and even held the advantage. Naturally, the townspeople chose to help them.

"Quick, push forward! There's gunfire ahead!"

"That's fake!" a townsman shouted. "I saw Lyman's men go in and kill poor John's whole family. They lured you there by firing their own guns! Be careful! They're devils from hell!"

"Roger that!"

Upon hearing this, a soldier immediately took out a recoilless rifle from the vehicle, loaded it with a thermobaric round, and then darted out and fired at the house that was still staging its own drama.

Phew~boom!
The flames instantly engulfed the entire house, burning all the wooden structures to ashes, leaving only the tattered sheet metal structures standing.

A demon from hell?
Are you there? Can you withstand a thermobaric bomb?
If you can't take it anymore, just say something.

The sounds of gunfire, explosions, and bullets were also heard elsewhere... Before long, Milton had basically taken control of the outer areas of the town.

The young warriors took the lead and rushed to the next street—where they were very close to the center of the town, Lyman's most likely hiding place.

If you push forward two or three more streets, you'll reach the core area.

However, at that moment, a commotion suddenly came from a nearby house. The young soldier had just turned his gun around when he saw a woman walking out of the house with her hands raised, her face streaked with tears and despair.

A man's furious shouts could be heard coming from inside.

"You damn bitch, get out of here right now! Take these grenades and blow that guy outside to bits!"

"Or I'll kill your husband, no, before I kill him I'll rape you in front of him! Just like I just did!"

The young soldier pointed his gun at the woman covered in grenades, his gaze freezing completely.

He knew he should shoot immediately, but he couldn't pull the trigger no matter what he did.

The next moment, the young soldier realized he was going to die.

I'm sorry, Dad. I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry, Commander Milton.

However, the woman seemed to see the hesitation in the young soldier's eyes, and she paused for a moment—this soldier was fighting for them.

Immediately afterwards, she let out a shrill scream, turned around abruptly, and rushed into the house.

"Fuck, you fucking bitch..."

Bang bang bang!
Several gunshots and the sound of bodies falling to the ground came from inside.

Immediately following was a loud explosion.

boom!
The room fell completely silent.

A LAV-25 armored vehicle sped past the soldier, and an instructor jumped out and angrily kicked the young soldier.

Having fought in the resistance for nearly 10 years, he had seen this situation countless times and had specifically taught how to deal with it before the battle.

"She'll die even if you don't shoot. Have you forgotten what I taught you?"

Tears welled in the young soldier's eyes: "But..."

"To avenge the dead, not to be blackmailed by the enemy!"

"Sorry……"

The instructor sighed and patted him hard on the shoulder: "You'll get used to it. Get moving and don't waste any more time."

"The final battle is about to begin. Lyman is just ahead, and victory is just around the corner."

"..."

With the help of the townspeople, results came one after another in just a few hours—the sun hadn't even completely set yet!
"Hill Street has been occupied by our side."

"Liusha Street has been successfully captured by our forces!!!"

"Casualties...ambulances have arrived."

"The core area occupied by Lehman has been initially surrounded."

After a while, the voice of Ishia, the leader of the sniper team, came through everyone's channels.

"Four enemies armed with anti-aircraft missiles have been killed. It is currently unclear whether there are any other anti-aircraft missiles."

“No need to confirm anymore, Air Force prepare to enter.” Milton fired another shot, destroying the last enemy machine gun position in a block, and then said, “Prepare for the general offensive… We absolutely cannot let that rat Lyman get away.”

It wasn't that Milton was being reckless; rather, he was surprised to find that the panel had already determined that Milton had completed the administrative occupation of Akoch Town!

The urban warfare, which was originally planned to last more than 7 days and result in incalculable losses, was surprisingly fought with very low casualties and in a very short time, and the enemy's core area was already penetrated!
This is when the time is right and heaven and earth lend their strength...

Lyman's ravaging of the townspeople only lasted for a few hours, but those few hours were enough to drive him to despair.

[The host has completed the administrative occupation and most of the military occupation of Akochi Town. Calculating the total occupied area... Malakan Town + Akochi Town, area reached, counter-espionage system unlocked]

Counter-espionage system activated.

[Number of people belonging to the hostile faction in Malacan Town: 0]

[Number of people currently belonging to the hostile faction in Akochi Town: 42 (location shown)]
