Chapter 183: The Great Battle (End)
At this moment, the soldiers in the warehouse suddenly discovered that the soldiers from Dongyang State had quietly climbed up from the back of the warehouse!
The leader made a prompt decision and shouted, "Quick, quick, quick, we must stop them!"
Soon, more than 600 soldiers took quick action.
But at this time, the soldiers of Dongyang State had already entered the warehouse and formed a two-pronged attack.
In the narrow space, soldiers from both countries engaged in fierce firefight and bullets flew everywhere.
Some Dongyang soldiers even sneaked directly into the sewers and launched a sneak attack on the soldiers in the warehouse.
After half an hour of fierce fighting, the soldiers in the warehouse finally succeeded in resolving the crisis.
But it also cost hundreds of casualties.
At noon the next day, the sun was shining brightly. The regiment commander stood on the roof of the warehouse and raised the national flag high.
The soldiers lined up neatly in front of the building and saluted the national flag solemnly.
At this critical moment, two carrier-based aircraft from Dongyang State suddenly attacked. They fired at the national flag at an extremely fast speed, knocking it to the ground in an instant.
However, the soldiers in the warehouse were not intimidated. They quickly ran over to pick up the national flag and raised it high again.
Seeing this, Dongyang's carrier-based aircraft continued to attack, trying to destroy the flag that symbolized national dignity.
But no matter what, the soldiers in the warehouse always firmly guarded the national flag and never backed down.
At this moment, an anti-aircraft machine gun appeared on the roof of the warehouse, aiming at the Dongyang carrier-based aircraft in the air, trying to intercept it.
However, due to the maneuverability and altitude advantages of carrier-based aircraft in the air, this attack did not achieve much effect.
The pilots of the two carrier-based aircraft couldn't help but become angry when they saw the soldiers in the warehouse putting up such a tenacious resistance.
They decided to ruthlessly shoot the soldiers on the roof.
During the fierce exchange of fire, one of the carrier-based aircraft was unfortunately hit by an anti-aircraft machine gun. Black smoke billowed from the tail of the aircraft. The aircraft quickly lost control and eventually withdrew from the battle.
The other carrier-based aircraft chose to withdraw from the battlefield after running out of ammunition.
With the departure of the carrier-based aircraft, Dongyang's ground forces officially launched the attack.
They prepared several vehicles similar to excavators in an attempt to destroy the warehouse.
At the same time, some Dongyang soldiers installed explosives on the surrounding walls in preparation for the blast.
Faced with the enemy's powerful offensive, the soldiers in the warehouse did not retreat and tried their best to stop the attack of the Dongyang army.
They used various weapons and fortifications to fight a desperate battle with the enemy.
The soldiers in the warehouse looked at the enemies outside with despair.
I saw that the soldiers from Dongyang State actually used iron plates to block their grenade attacks.
This rendered their grenades completely ineffective.
At this time, a brave soldier tied grenades all over his body and rushed to a hole in the warehouse wall.
He murmured to himself, "Mother, I am an unfilial child!"
Then he jumped down, hit the iron plate heavily, and fell down.
The soldiers of Dongyang State were stunned by this sudden scene and were at a loss for a moment.
However, the next moment, a shocking explosion sounded - "Boom~"
All the Dongyang soldiers were killed in the explosion.
Soon after, more soldiers followed suit, tying grenades around themselves and jumping down one after another.
Every explosion caused heavy damage to the Dongyang troops, and they were unable to continue the bombing operations.
This fierce battle lasted for three days and three nights. In the end, all the soldiers in the warehouse were wiped out, but Dongyang State also paid a huge price for it.
A week later, the army of Dazhou Kingdom had basically withdrawn from Shencheng, but there were still small forces resisting in the city.
The Dongyang army began to clean up the city, encircle and suppress the remaining enemy forces, and massacre civilians from time to time.
In the end, this great battle ended with the victory of Dongyang State and the defeat of Dazhou State.
The Dazhou Kingdom's air force suffered heavy losses, its navy was almost wiped out, and its army suffered about 500,000 casualties.
The Dongyang army suffered about 300,000 casualties, lost more than 700 fighter planes of various types, and some destroyers and frigates.
The Dazhou State moved its capital to a major city in Shuchuan Province, which was equivalent to giving up the city of Jinling, and at the same time moved important industrial facilities there.
The above casualty data does not include the situation in the Northern War, but the disadvantages in the Northern War were smaller and the casualties were relatively small.
Of course, it is not just that. The Great State has basically abandoned all of its coastal cities.
Some important industries have moved inland, and the people have also moved with them.
Under such circumstances, the only transportation line left for the Dazhou Kingdom is the South Seas.
"Extra, Extra, the war in the north was lost, the Dongyang Kingdom occupied Shencheng and is marching towards Jinling City."
"Impossible, I don't believe this result."
"Damn Dongyang devils, I'm going to sign up for the army and kill them."
The Dongyang Kingdom originally thought that this would greatly undermine the Dazhou Kingdom's confidence in resistance, but unexpectedly it backfired.
However, this is only superficial.
In fact, the large states were well prepared to evacuate coastal cities.
They not only moved important industrial facilities and resources inland.
At the same time, they also arranged a large number of troops and intelligence personnel to stay in these coastal cities to carry out guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines, preventing Dongyang State from succeeding easily.
In addition, the Dazhou Kingdom also organized civilian armed forces to create a situation of nationwide resistance.
In this war, the Great State showed its tenacious fighting spirit and indomitable spirit.
Although they lost part of their territory, they were not intimidated by the invasion of Dongyang State.
On the contrary, they devoted themselves more firmly to the fight against the invaders.
The Dongyang Kingdom's aggressive behavior also attracted the attention and condemnation of the international community.
After the Dongyang Kingdom’s headquarters learned of such a huge victory.
They began to become arrogant and thought they were invincible.
Originally they planned to take over the entire Dazhou Kingdom in a year, but now they feel that it will only take half a year to do so.
This extremely confident attitude made them forget the cruelty and variability of war, and also made them look down on other countries.
At the same time, Dongyang Kingdom's attention is no longer limited to Dazhou Kingdom, but has turned to Annan Kingdom and Yu Kingdom.
If they can be successfully occupied, Dongyang State will become a truly great power.
However, they did not realize the difficulty and complexity of this goal.
Instead, I feel that it can be easily achieved as long as there are enough troops and resources.
They don't care at all whether Lanxi and Geely will fight with them.
