Doctor, I'm really strong!

Since the enemy had prepared such a large vulnerability for us, it would be a shame not to take advantage of it. So that night, W ordered the Kazdel air force to take off. 85 Il-2 bombers dropped a massive amount of incendiary bombs to cover the battlefield while bombing. Then 38 land-based ships went out to attack.

Wait a minute, where did this land-based warship come from?

In reality, it was junk salvaged from the Far East region of Ursus, along with spoils of war from the Fourth Army captured during the Red Guard era.

Kazdel is a flat area, which is very suitable for land-based naval operations. Therefore, Liu Jiuli placed these modified spoils of war in Kazdel, which can provide some fire support or launch a defensive counterattack when necessary.

Now this is coming in handy!

To be fair, even if these old relics have undergone modifications, compared to the cutting-edge land-based warships that Rembiton has purchased, they are still like an old man going into battle—it's just wishful thinking. Any demands that exceed this level are excessive.

But what if the enemy is in complete disarray?

Air strikes are a relatively new and underdeveloped form of warfare on Terra. A sudden attack could easily overwhelm the enemy, causing chaos for a while.

Even seasoned elite soldiers would need to reorganize their troops at this point, while company security guards like Rembiton, who have basically never fought in a national-level war, would become a complete mess if things got chaotic.

The darkness itself is the best cover. Although the land-based ships have various detection systems, we can interfere with them. By attacking from both the sea and land, the enemy will be caught off guard. We can take as many enemies as we can while they are busy. Every single one is pure profit, so what is there to be afraid of?

As for Rembiton's infantry.

Immediately after the start of the war, they reported that they had been subjected to devastating bombing by the enemy and then fled.

You can't believe he ran away.

That's true. It's not impossible for flesh and blood to fight against a land-based warship, but how could the second-class members of Rembiton have such courage? Considering the ridiculous things they've experienced before, do you think they would willingly sacrifice themselves?

Goodbye, brothers, let's move in! We're attacking from the rear!

However, these second-rate people clearly knew what the consequences of fleeing without a fight were, so they put on a very convincing performance. Before leaving, they fired a barrage of gunfire, threw away a batch of equipment, and detonated a lot of explosives, leaving their camp riddled with craters. Then they disappeared in a flash and were not contacted again until the next morning.

"You ask where I am? I can't find you. The troops have all been scattered. I have to go now. I need to regroup the troops. You can contact me later. The Red bandits are about to attack."

What Red Bandits? The Terra Red Army didn't even chase after us.

In fact, the Red Army, which was attacking, also felt strange. Why did the enemy's position suddenly start exploding? Could it be that we had unknown friendly forces going to launch a surprise attack?

Thus, the attacking Red Army troops, believing that the enemy's rear had been defeated by "friendly forces," focused their main attention on Rembiton's land-based naval forces, only to find out the next morning that they had not attacked there at all.

What's going on? Where are the enemy infantry?

This incident was not truly uncovered until ten years later. It turned out that Rembiton's infantry had slipped away first, feigned an attack, and staged a good show, without any so-called friendly forces at all.

For the Rembitox land-based naval forces at the time, this was no big deal.

What? Infantry can challenge land-based ships? You think you're so tough? It's dark at night and we can't see clearly, but that doesn't mean we're stupid. We have so many land-based ships here. Are you afraid of defying the heavens? We'll fight back!

The idea was excellent, but they made one mistake: the Terra Red Army was not an army in the traditional sense.

This army not only possesses advanced weaponry and a resolute fighting spirit, but each soldier also demonstrates initiative. Given the necessary equipment, even infantry that are considered ants by the enemy dares to challenge elephants (land-based warships).

In the darkness, a helicopter squadron was approaching a land-based warship. Frostleaf, wearing night vision goggles, observed the situation below.

Her company decided to launch a daring boarding operation, parachuting over the enemy by helicopter.

This tactic is extremely dangerous, but it's nighttime and the battlefield is filled with the roar of artillery fire. The enemy's attention is obviously not focused on this area. If we seize the opportunity, the success rate of the airborne boarding maneuver is still quite high.

Since they've already boarded, the only options are to destroy or seize it. Given the size of the land-based ship, it's obviously quite difficult for a hundred or so people to destroy or occupy it.

But there is another operation – a decapitation strike.

The most valuable target on a land-based warship is undoubtedly its command system; targeting that is the right move.

After a search, Shuangye's company found a land-based ship that was relatively far back and somewhat isolated. This was a good opportunity to strike, so they airdropped it directly.

Everything happened too suddenly, and with the darkness of night (land ships definitely need to implement blackout regulations, otherwise at normal combat distances, what's the difference between you and a torch in the dark), all these light special operations drones are inscribed with Originium Arts for sound silencing to improve stealth. With the addition of other Originium Arts for stealth effects, they are as easy as a mosquito flying into an apartment building.

Unless it deliberately flies to someone's ear, the probability of an ordinary person discovering it is very low.

After the helicopter hovered, Shuangye took the lead and jumped out. After landing lightly and nimbly, two throwing knives pierced the necks of two enemies not far away. The sound of the two falling down was not important. The outside was filled with the rumble of cannons and was very noisy. Unless you were very close, you could not hear it at all.

The comrades who landed quickly cleared the surrounding area and then made their way to the location of the landship's command tower, as smoothly as if they were strolling around their own home. The enemy's vigilance was barely noticeable.

After all, this tactic is indeed rare and uncommon. Even the armies of major powers might fall for it, let alone the Rembitox army.

You can't expect too much from a group of company security guards who bully ordinary people.

After confirming that the surrounding area was safe, the breaching bomb was affixed to the door.

Just then, the hatch to the command room suddenly opened, and a Carter's man in a crisp military uniform stepped out.

The two stared at each other.

Section 211: The Battle of Kanan

(One more chapter to come (～￣▽￣)～)

Although an awkward situation arose where they stared at each other for ten seconds, for this Rembitox officer, "You can't just make me feel awkward; first, I need to go through the proper procedures, just in case..."

Frostleaf reacted swiftly, firing a shot with a 30mm caliber. This close-combat shotgun was designed to blast opponents in the face at close range. With the two less than a meter apart, the power was maximized. The Rembitt officer immediately opened his heart and embraced the vast world.

The moment the man flew out, Shuangye and the others filed in. A gunshot rang out, and what followed was only slaughter.

In fact, the people in the command room were still in a daze. This was the first time they had ever encountered such a thing. Who would have thought that the enemy would be fully armed and sneak up to their command room door, especially on a land-based warship? This was just as absurd as Bismarck being captured by the British Royal Marines after he went to sea.

By the time these people realized something was wrong, the five men, with their five guns, had completely destroyed the command center.

At this moment, no one outside knows what's happening here. Most people's attention is drawn to the artillery fire outside, and the command center is a relatively independent area. Whatever is happening here is usually not noticed unless someone outside can see it or someone comes in to report the situation.

At that moment, a Red Army soldier suddenly shouted, "Captain, there's a high-ranking officer here!"

Shuangye immediately went over and saw the lieutenant general rank on the corpse.

In Rembitt, the captain of a land-based warship is typically a brigadier general or senior colonel (this is also true in other countries). A vice admiral is already a fleet commander, in other words...

"We've taken the enemy's head!"

Shuangye immediately realized the importance of the matter, so she instructed the communications officer to contact the rear immediately, while she herself went to the control panel. After seeing the command interface for issuing orders, she had a flash of inspiration and wrote down an order.

"A defensive breach has appeared on the enemy's left flank. The entire fleet shall immediately move toward the enemy's left flank!"

Then Shuangye took out the lieutenant general's ID card, had the order communicated to the entire army, and then ordered the entire land-based ship to enter radio silence so that the enemy would not notice anything unusual for a short time.

The group then immediately evacuated, leaving behind a pile of booby traps before they left, hoping that when the enemy came to investigate, they could grab a late-night snack and destroy the command center as well.

As for the attack hints Frostleaf gave them, that area was the coverage zone of the No. 7 heavy artillery position on the southern defense line of Kazdel.

Kazdel deployed five heavy artillery groups on each defensive line, with the No. 7 group having the most powerful guns. This was because it contained many experimental artillery pieces, essentially a testing ground for new weapons. Although these new weapons might have one problem or another, their power would definitely not disappoint. All the shells that could be fired were at least 280mm in caliber.

Furthermore, the front line there is heavily fortified with landmines and explosive zones, specifically designed for land-based ships that wish to take a detour.

The Rembiton fleet, having received the order, saw nothing wrong with it. From the authorization to the signature, everything was in order. Although they didn't know how the enemy's defensive loophole appeared, since it had appeared, it was an opportunity to make a name for themselves. "Brothers, charge!"

Rembiton's land-based naval fleet surged into the minefield of Kazdel's southern defense line.

Those anti-personnel mines don't really do much damage to land-based ships, but what about high-yield explosives, and even super-heavy mines specifically prepared for them? These mines, about the size of gasoline drums, are a bit difficult to deploy outside, but they are more than enough for defense. The iron feet of a land-based ship can't withstand these things with a charge of nearly half a ton. It's unlikely to destroy the land-based ship, but it's no problem to blow off its chains on the spot.

A land-based ship breaking down is just as bad as a tank breaking down, or even worse. It is much heavier than a tank, and without tracks, it can hardly move an inch.

At this moment, the Red Army's heavy artillery delivered a warm greeting.

The land-based ships, which had been bombed and were in a daze, were now sitting ducks. However, even under such unfavorable circumstances, Rembiton still had a chance of winning.

The method was very simple: concentrate all the landships and charge in one direction. The width of the minefield was limited and could not extend indefinitely like the road where the commander had fallen. As long as they did not stop, the more than one hundred landships that had gathered at this time could crush them. At this point, the Terra Red Army really did not have a good way to stop them.

But this is on the premise that all land-based ships charge forward fearlessly, never stopping midway, even if there are cliffs ahead, they will jump down to pave the way for their comrades behind them.

The question is, do Rembitox's security guards have this level of awareness?

There must be people with this kind of awareness, but a few people alone can't accomplish anything. Someone who can reach the level of a land-based ship captain must be calm enough to weigh the pros and cons and know exactly what kind of people they have. When the battle has come to this point, they certainly don't have the awareness to band together and launch a full-scale attack.

Since there was no other option, they decided to play it safe. Some of the land-based ships began to slow down and gradually break away from the formation, making the entire attack formation more sparse. Originally, the effective range of the main guns of these land-based ships was only about ten kilometers, and the furthest was no more than fifteen kilometers. After widening the formation slightly, the main guns of some land-based ships could not even reach the enemy's positions.

It's not impossible to fire barrages at a high angle, but it's uncertain where the shells will end up after they've been fired.

This is the difference between effective range and maximum range. With the former, you know where it will land, but with the latter, it's all up to God. A 400-meter moving-to-moving sniper kill with a Yamaguchi KV2 is all about luck.

When an attack fails, you need to find the commander, but the problem is that the flagship's radio is silent right now.

So other nearby warships sailed over and signaled, "Boss, what's going on here?"

The flagship spotted the signal light and immediately tried to contact the commander, but the line was busy.

Even though the phone line was busy, they still had to go down and check. So the communications officer on the flagship immediately went to the command center, only to be blown to pieces by a booby trap, which also detonated the explosives inside the command center.

With a loud bang, the flagship's command center was enraged.

Everyone panicked. In this situation, their flagship had been taken over their base. When did the enemy start this base swap? Wait a minute, we haven't even reached their base yet.

At this time, the others did not know that this was the result of a secret infiltration operation. They all thought that their flagship had been hit in the command compartment by enemy fire. How could it be so accurate, or was it just that they were unlucky?

With the flagship gone, a secondary flagship is needed to take over its duties. But the problem is, Rembitox's land-based fleet doesn't have a secondary flagship! How bizarre.

The main reason is that Rembiton felt that the battle would end quickly, and they couldn't find a reason to lose. They thought, "I've already deployed land-based ships, so the enemy will surrender in no time. It doesn't matter whether we have a secondary flagship or not."

This is a typical case of underestimating the enemy, with absolutely no awareness of taking precautions.

As a result, the various fleets began to operate freely. Some continued their attacks, some began to retreat, and some stayed in place waiting for orders. The scene was so chaotic that it looked as if Chiang Kai-shek had personally micromanaged the operation.

At this moment, the Red Army land-based naval fleet, which was picking off enemy soldiers in the distance, spotted an opportunity. The enemy was collapsing, and this was a good chance to defeat them one by one. It would be a disservice to their expectations if they didn't take action. Comrades, hurrah!

Without command and morale, Rembiton's army suffered a crushing defeat.

On October 4, 1100, the Rembito army and the Terra Red Army fought a fierce battle in southern Kazdel. The Terra Red Army won a great victory, killing, wounding and capturing more than 10 enemy soldiers. This battle is known as the "Battle of Southern Kazdel" or simply the "Battle of Kazdel".

Section 212: Yan Kingdom Enters the Scene

(Second update, (～￣▽￣)～)

The crushing defeat of Rembitox's army shocked the entire coalition.

They didn't know the details, but they knew about the massive land-based fleet Rembitox had deployed. Such a huge fleet could easily crush them and win; how could they have failed so easily? There must be something wrong with the script. Impossible, absolutely impossible! Rembitox's land-based fleet was invincible!

But the reality is there: Rembiton lost half of its land-based ships, and the large number of Rembiton land-based shipwrecks on the battlefield are evidence of this; these things cannot be faked.

Inside the Allied Command Headquarters, the Seventh Prince Nicholas and Prince Eugen looked at each other, neither of them able to accept the outcome immediately.

In the end, I accepted it.

What can we do? They've already shown us their results: captured soldiers and seized land-based ships. Moreover, the Allied forces have just received news from Rembito that their offensive has stalled and they need to regroup their troops.

Bah! If you've been beaten to a pulp, just say so. Do you really think we don't know?

Of course, we still have to save face and not let those who have contributed feel disheartened. But no matter how much the staff belittled the performance of the Rembitox army, we must admit that the Red Army of the Terra People's Community is very capable.
