309: Chapter 309: Counterattack (Second Update) 309: Chapter 309: Counterattack (Second Update) Upon hearing Su Mo’s words, Zhu Xiong was immediately thrilled, thinking it was Xiao Wen who had sent the support.
He immediately asked, “Brother, how many people have you brought?”
Su Mo earnestly held up two fingers and honestly stated that they were the first to come for reconnaissance and support.
Upon hearing Su Mo’s words, Li Sheng looked increasingly embarrassed, as if it was almost the same situation for them.
When Zhu Xiong heard Su Mo’s words, the joyful expression on his face immediately stiffened, and he was at a loss for words for a long time, then showed a bitter expression.
“Two, it looks like Wushi Fortress City won’t hold.”
Hearing Chu Xiong’s words, Qian Chengxue quickly realized that Deputy Legion Commander Zhu Xiong had misunderstood something.
She hurriedly explained, “Deputy Legion Commander Zhu Xiong, it’s just the two of us for the initial reconnaissance and support because our mobility is stronger.
Commander Xiao Wen’s and my troops together number over 230,000, and they are currently rushing here from the rear area.”
“You mean Xiao Wen’s troops are fine!”
Zhu Xiong asked ecstatically, his heart like a roller coaster, plummeting one moment and soaring to heaven the next.
“Of course they’re fine.”
Su Mo replied succinctly.
“That’s great, then there’s hope for Wushi.
No, wait, you must immediately notify Commander Xiao Wen, tell him not to bring all his troops over.
Right now, both Wushi City and the Skyline Canal are fully within the enemy’s saturation attack range.
If his troops rashly enter, they will definitely undergo a new round of baptism, and then it’ll all be over.”
Zhu Xiong’s mind raced!
“What’s the situation on the Skyline Canal side?”
Qian Chengxue immediately asked.
“I don’t know, but it’s probably doomed, the enemy troops have likely already landed.”
“Then how many people do you still have to defend Wushi City?”
“Not many, the resistance is all just scattered survivors now, the command system has already collapsed, it won’t be long before this place is completely overrun.”
“Since this place can’t be held, and Xiao Wen’s troops can’t move in, shall we retreat?”
Su Mo asked with a furrowed brow, trying the idea out.
“No, Wushi Fortress City can’t be lost, absolutely not.
If we lose here, they can use this as a strategic position to launch attacks on nearby fortress cities, then we’ll truly be completely routed!”
Zhu Xiong responded very strongly.
Qian Chengxue took a deep breath and said, “Alright, I’ll pass all this information back to Commander Xiao Wen, let him make the decision, we’ll hold our ground in Wushi City for now!”
Zhu Xiong nodded in response.
Behind Wushi City, inside an emergency command vehicle, Lin Yue reported to Xiao Wen.
“Received the encrypted communication sent by Qian Chengxue.”
Xiao Wen came over, looking at the information sent back by Qian Chengxue, with a deep frown.
“What’s going on, don’t stay silent.” This text is hosted at novel⸺fire.net
Chen Shan, somewhat impatient, asked from the side.
“The Skyline Canal defense line is probably lost, and now Wushi Fortress is also about to be lost.
The enemy’s saturation strike is extremely fierce, and the surviving Deputy Legion Commander Zhu Xiong has advised us not to rashly move in.”
Xiao Wen briefly explained the situation.
Chen Shan became anxious immediately, “What a joke, Wushi Fortress absolutely cannot be lost!”
“You don’t need to tell me that.”
“Then what are we waiting for, quickly rally the troops and move up.”
“To go there and die?”
“So you want to give up on Wushi Fortress?”
Xiao Wen also felt overwhelmed.
He paced back and forth within the command vehicle, his hands behind his back.
“Old Xiao, the situation is extremely urgent now, don’t be indecisive.
What of the danger, when have we ever been afraid?”
Chen Shan was almost frantic with urgency.
Lin Yue tried to calm him, “Chen Shan, don’t panic.
Let Commander Xiao Wen think it through.”
Five minutes later, a determined look flashed in Xiao Wen’s eyes.
He slammed his fist on the table and said in a deep voice, “Since the enemy likes to play, then we’ll play along.”
Chen Shan asked joyfully.
“Chen Shan, you take some Mecha squads and special infantry to Wushi Fortress City and wear them down in the city, ensuring that Wushi Fortress City doesn’t fall,” Xiao Wen instructed.
“Won’t the main forces go up?”
“Sending them up will only get them purified.
If you keep their troops bogged down in the city, they won’t be able to conduct a full saturation purification on Wushi City.”
“What if their forces massively pour into Wushi City?”
“Then it’s our turn to give Wushi Fortress a saturation purification!”
No one is going to take Wushi Fortress City easily, but this is only a temporary solution, not a cure,” Chen Shan pointed out.
“Don’t worry, I will also perform a saturation purification on the Skyline Canal defense line.
We’ll treat them with their own medicine, and they won’t be able to cross,” Xiao Wen assured.
Xiao Wen’s gaze became sharp and dangerous.
He wouldn’t let them off easily after being hit so hard, as if they were made of clay.
Let’s do it and see who breaks first!
I’m going to lead the support team right away!”
Chen Shan immediately opened the command vehicle door and jumped out.
Lin Yue then said to Xiao Wen, “I will go set up the firepower launch positions right away!”
At the Skyline Canal defense area, throngs of Freedom Victory Guild players disembarked.
Kanris stepped off the ship onto the scorched earth, took a puff from his pipe, blew a smoke ring, and said cheerfully.
“Nearly a month has passed, and we’ve finally set foot on this land!
The troops from the Sky Dragon Guild are as tenacious as ever!”
“Report, sir, the remaining enemies in the canal defense area have been completely eliminated.
We also found the body of Liu Chenggao, commander of the 18th Legion of the Sky Dragon Guild; he’s been blasted beyond recognition,” a soldier reported.
“Bury him with respect.
To have held us off single-handedly for so long is quite remarkable,” Kanris said solemnly.
The soldier immediately replied.
At that moment, an orderly officer rushed over.
“The leader of the Poison Tooth Formation aerial assault on Wushi City, Katu, has sent back up-to-date information.
Two third-generation Mechas broke into the city, killing a large number of team members from the Poison Tooth Formation.
One of the Mechas was the missing Slaughter Blade, and the other was an unidentified Mecha that killed General Kevin.
The enemy’s reinforcements are likely to arrive soon.”
As long as they dare to come, I dare to send them down,” Kanris said with utter confidence.
Just then, countless lights shot into the sky in the distance, and missiles streaked across the sky toward the Skyline Canal.
His subordinates hurriedly threw themselves on top of Kanris.
Then one missile after another fell, covering the Skyline Canal area indiscriminately.
The tanks and Mechas that had been painstakingly transported up, along with a large number of combat personnel, were suddenly blown into disarray.
