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

Nev Town stronghold, inside the barracks.

The sound of gunfire exploded like thunder in the night sky, shaking the entire town of Nev. Battalion Commander Korzakov woke up from his bed and almost fell to the ground from his sleep.

"What's going on?" he roared, grabbing his uniform and pulling it on. "Who's firing?"

The explosions and gunshots outside became more and more frequent, and the entire stronghold seemed to be engulfed in flames. Korzakov rushed out of the barracks and saw soldiers rushing out of the barracks in panic.

"Quick, gather!" he shouted angrily, "Everyone get into fighting position!"

But the chaotic situation made his orders seem ineffective. Many soldiers were knocked to the ground by oncoming bullets just as they walked out of the barracks before they could figure out the situation.

"Enemy attack! It's an enemy attack!" someone shouted, but the voice was quickly drowned out by the sound of gunfire.

Korzakov desperately commanded the remaining troops and tried to organize an effective defense, but the attack of the Northern Division was like a violent storm, which did not give them a chance to breathe.

"Heavy machine guns, set up quickly!" Korzakov shouted to a group of soldiers, "Cover the others to retreat!"

However, before he could finish his words, a shell exploded not far away, and the huge shock wave knocked him to the ground. The world around him became blurry, with only the flames dancing in front of his eyes.

In this sudden attack, the defense system of the Nev town stronghold was quickly collapsed. Korzakov realized that he was facing a well-trained and well-equipped force, and this battle was destined to be an irreparable defeat.

Nev town stronghold, the center of the battle.

Korzakov got up from the ground, wiped the blood off his face, and forced himself to calm down. He knew that he had to quickly organize a counterattack, otherwise the entire stronghold would cease to exist.

"Attention everyone," he yelled at the top of his lungs, "Get into fighting position now and prepare to strike back!"

Under his command, the remaining soldiers began to set up machine guns in the ruins and look for cover to try to stop the enemy's advance. Despite the chaotic situation, they still tried their best to execute the battalion commander's orders.

"Quick, identify the enemy!" Korzakov ordered his adjutant, "We need to know who our opponent is!"

The adjutant quickly mobilized observers, using binoculars and night vision equipment, to try to make out enemy markings amid the chaos.

"It's the Northern Division!" the observer shouted, "Their armored forces are attacking!"

"Damn it," Korzakov gritted his teeth, "Notify the communication unit immediately and contact the base camp to request support!"

In the chaos, the signalmen set up radio equipment, trying to penetrate the enemy's electronic interference and get in touch with the base camp.

"This is Nev Town. We are under attack from the Northern Division. Requesting support, requesting support!" The signalman kept repeating the distress message, trying to get the signal across.

Korzakov knew that time was running out. He had to stabilize his position as soon as possible and wait for reinforcements. However, the offensive of the Northern Division was like a violent storm, leaving them no chance to breathe.

In this life-and-death battle, Korzakov commanded his troops with all his might, trying to find a glimmer of hope in the desperate situation.

In the Nev town stronghold, the battle became fierce.

The tanks of the 1st Armored Battalion of the Northern Division were deployed in the snow, forming a fan-shaped array, and their artillery fire continued to bombard the fortifications of the stronghold. Each shell was precisely calculated to hit the enemy's firepower point and command center.

"Attention, Second Company," Feng Jian commanded via radio, "Advance to the left and suppress the enemy's heavy machine gun positions!"

At the same time, Korzakov was commanding his troops to put up a stubborn resistance. "Anti-tank guns, aim at their armored forces!" He shouted, "Don't let them get close to the stronghold!"

An anti-tank shell whizzed out and hit the side of an armored vehicle, but the solid armor was only slightly dented. The armored forces of the Northern Division continued to advance, and heavy machine guns swept the enemy positions.

"Grenadiers, get ready!" Feng Jian continued to command, "Once the armored forces have suppressed the enemy's firepower, immediately charge!"

Korzakov's troops fought hard in their strongholds. They used buildings and fortifications to defend and tried to stop the advance of the Northern Division. But in the face of excellent equipment and tactical coordination, their resistance seemed increasingly powerless.

"Communications have not been restored yet!" the signalman reported anxiously, "The enemy's electronic interference is too strong!"

The electronic warfare team of the Northern Division continued to send out jamming signals, cutting off the base's connection with the outside world. Korzakov's signal for help was drowned in the electromagnetic waves and could not be transmitted.

"Third Company, outflanking to the right!" Feng Jian seized the opportunity and said, "Cut off their retreat!"

The armored forces' pincer attack became tighter and tighter, and the resistance in the stronghold was gradually disintegrated. Korzakov watched his troops being reduced in number under the enemy's attack, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted.

"Hold on, you must hold on!" He shouted to the remaining soldiers, "Reinforcements will arrive soon!"

However, the attack of the Northern Division showed no sign of stopping. The roar of tank guns, the strafing of machine guns, the explosion of grenades, all the firepower was destroying the defense of the stronghold.

This battle is no longer a contest of equal strength, but a carefully planned encirclement and suppression.

In the Nev town stronghold, the battle is coming to an end.

Under the fierce attack of the Northern Division, the defenders of Nev Town were defeated. Korzakov felt powerless as he watched his troops continue to disintegrate under the enemy's firepower.

"Damn the communication!" He angrily kicked over the sandbag beside him, "Why hasn't it been restored yet?"

The signalman was operating the equipment with sweat all over his forehead, but the enemy's electronic interference was still so strong that the distress signal could not be transmitted at all.

"If this continues, we will be trapped here alive!" Korzakov was extremely anxious, "We must find a way to break out!"

However, at this moment, the offensive of the Beidi Division suddenly slowed down. After observing the enemy's rout, Feng Jian decisively issued a new order.

"Attention, all troops," Feng Jian commanded via radio, "Stop the attack, evacuate the perimeter of the stronghold, surround but do not attack."

The armored forces quickly adjusted their positions, withdrew from the direct firing range of the stronghold, and formed an encirclement. At the same time, the electronic warfare team received an order to gradually reduce the intensity of interference to allow the enemy's communications to be restored.

"Let them restore communications," Feng Jian said to the staff officer, "We need to let them send out a distress signal."

Korzakov noticed that the signal light of the communication equipment suddenly flashed, and the signalman shouted in surprise: "Sir, the signal is restored! We can contact the base camp!"

"Hurry, send out a distress signal!" Korzakov ordered hastily, "Tell them we need reinforcements!"

However, he did not know that this was exactly the strategy of the Beidi Division. Feng Jian hoped to lure the enemy's reinforcements into the encirclement by restoring communications, and thus destroy them in one fell swoop.
