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

Chapter 1100 Fire Suppression

"We can't give them time!" Ike's eyes turned cold, "Li Kai'er, order the Rocket Battalion to take up their positions immediately!"

Soon, 42 Nebelwerfer rocket launchers were pushed to the front line. This multiple rocket launcher had terrifying destructive power, and a single salvo could raze an entire city block to the ground.

&34；火箭营准备！&34；李凯尔下令，&34；目标区域，方位187！&34；

The rocket gunners quickly adjusted the firing parameters. The barrels of 42 Nebelwerfers were simultaneously pointed at the area where the Changyu Division might build a new defense line.

&34;Launch!&34;

&34;Huh! Huh! Huh!&34;

Hundreds of rockets soared into the sky with whistling sounds, dragging long trails of fire. This scene made the Fuso soldiers hiding in the ruins pale.

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

Intensive explosions sounded one after another. Rockets rained down like raindrops, engulfing the entire block in flames.

Buildings collapsed in the explosion, huge craters were blown out of the streets, and the soldiers who were building fortifications were blown away by the shock wave of the explosion before they could react.

"Damn it! Retreat!" Matsushita Yusuke shouted at the top of his lungs, looking at the rockets flying all over the sky.

But the Rocket Battalion's second salvo had already begun.

&34;Huh! Huh! Huh!&34;

Hundreds of rockets were launched again. This time, the target was a farther block. Ike wanted to use this crazy firepower to cover and destroy all possible enemy defenses.

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

There were continuous explosions, thick smoke and flames rising into the sky. The entire block was shaking under this terrifying firepower.

"Report to the division commander!" the signalman shouted in horror, "The three lines of defense we are building have all been destroyed! There are heavy casualties!"

Matsushita Yusuke clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white. He didn't expect the enemy to respond with such crazy firepower coverage.

At the front line, Ike watched all this coldly: "Keep bombarding! Don't give them any chance to breathe! Engineer Battalion, prepare to clear the passage!"

The rocket battalion's bombardment continued. In just ten minutes, 42 Nemesis missiles turned an area of ​​several kilometers into scorched earth. Any possible defensive positions were reduced to ashes under this intensive firepower.

The Changyu Division's resistance plan was completely shattered by the horrific firepower of the Skeleton Division.

"The first phase is complete." Ike stood in front of the command vehicle, looking at the map, "The second phase of the attack begins."

He quickly issued a series of orders:

"Rickell, ordered the Panzergrenadiers to be divided into three battle groups:

The first battle group advanced along Dongyang Avenue towards the city center.

The second battle group cleared out the remaining forces in the industrial zone.

The 34rd Battle Group served as the reserve. &;

"Armored Regiment!" Ike continued, "The Tiger tank squadron will cover the engineers in clearing obstacles, and the rest of the armored forces will prepare for the second wave of assault. The target is the Town Hall Square!"

&34;The rocket battalion continues to suppress! The armored artillery regiment prepares for mobile support! &34;

He pointed to a few key points on the map:

"Here, here, and here are all commanding heights. Order the heavy machine gun company to take control of these positions first."

"Reconnaissance Battalion!" Ike's eyes were sharp. "I want you to infiltrate the city center and gather intelligence on the enemy's deployment. Especially the location of their command post."

"In addition to clearing obstacles, the engineering battalion is also responsible for clearing mines. Be careful of the booby traps buried by the enemy in the ruins."

&34;Communications Battalion, ensure that the various battle groups maintain contact. Once the main force of the enemy is discovered, report it immediately. &34;

Li Kaier quickly recorded the order: "Understood! What about the medical team and logistical supplies?"

"The medical team followed the Third Battle Group. The logistics supply line was laid along Dongyang Avenue, with a supply point set up every kilometer."

Ike finally emphasized: "Remember, our target is the city center. Once we control the municipal square, Kyoto will be paralyzed."

"But..." He sneered, "Before that, let these diehards see what real armored warfare is!"

Soon, the SS Division began to act according to plan.

Under the cover of tanks, the armored grenadiers began to clear every street.

The Rocket Battalion continuously moved its positions to provide fire coverage to suspicious areas.

Under the protection of Tiger tanks, the engineers quickly cleared the road obstacles.

The steel torrent is swallowing up the city bit by bit.

In the command vehicle, Ike was already planning his next move: "Once we control the city center, we will join forces with the other three divisions. Then..."

He set his sights on the last heartland of Kyoto: "Give this city a final blow!"

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

Another round of rockets was fired. Matsushita Yusuke hid in a half-collapsed building, looking at the sea of ​​fire outside, his face livid.

"Report to the division commander!" the signalman's voice trembled, "The engineering team was hit by a rocket while arranging explosives, and the whole army was wiped out!"

&34;The 34rd Squadron attempted to fortify the intersection, but just as they began...&;

&34;The 34th Squadron was preparing to set up a roadblock in the commercial district, but...&;

As bad news came one after another, Matsushita Yusuke realized the terrible truth: the enemy's rocket battalion seemed to have mastered their every move.

&34;Huh! Huh! Huh!&34;

The sky was filled with shrieks again. Forty-two Nebelwerfer rocket launchers fired at the same time for the umpteenth time, blasting their pre-set defensive positions to the ground.

"This is impossible!" Yamada Takeo said in horror, "Do they have endless ammunition?!"

Indeed, the rocket battalion of the SS Division was like a perpetual motion machine, launching a round of salvos every few minutes. Their firepower coverage was so precise, as if they had already calculated every possible defensive position.

&34;Boom!&34;

There was another loud bang. A team of engineers who were constructing a bunker was directly hit by a rocket, and the explosives they were about to lay were blown into the sky.

"Division Commander!" The signalman came to report, "The enemy's armored forces have repaired the road and are continuing to advance! We...we didn't even have time to build a decent line of defense!"

Matsushita Yusuke clenched his fists. His plan was completely suppressed by the enemy's firepower. Every time they tried to build a defense line at a certain location, the enemy's rockets would arrive as expected.

&34;Here we go again!&34;

The shrieking sound was heard again in the sky. This time, the target was the position where they were preparing to set up the anti-tank gun.

&34;Retreat! Retreat quickly!&34;

But it was too late. The dense rockets flattened the entire block. The anti-tank guns were shattered by the explosion before they could get into position.

"Division Commander..." Yamada Takeo's voice trembled, "If this continues, we won't even have a place to stand..."

Matsushita Yusuke looked at the map and found that they had lost a large area of ​​​​their positions in just one hour. What was desperate was that they could not even build any decent fortifications in the new positions.

In the distance, the armored forces of the Totenkopf Division were advancing with a roar. The firepower coverage of the Rocket Battalion had cleared all obstacles for them.

"This is modern armored warfare..." Matsushita Yusuke muttered to himself, watching those steel behemoths rolling over the ruins, "We... deserved to lose..."
