The Republic of China: A Letter of Appointment Creates the Most Powerful Warlord

"Woo~~~"

The night was like a huge and thick black curtain covering the earth. In the dead silence, a low and long whistling sound suddenly came.

Immediately afterwards, people saw a brightly shining light with a long tail flame streaking across the night sky, rushing towards them like a burning meteor.

This mysterious light spot carried a chilling, dull sound of breaking through the air, as if it was a messenger from the abyss of hell, ruthlessly approaching the blockade line of the Independence Army.

The Independence Army blockade, which had already been caught in a fierce battle, suddenly became silent.

Everyone stopped what they were doing at the same time, looked up in horror, and their eyes were fixed on the shell that was getting closer and closer.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, everyone's heartbeat accelerated sharply, and their breathing became rapid.

Seeing the shell about to fall, at this critical moment, the regimental commander was the first to recover from his shock. His eyes widened, his face flushed red, and he roared at the soldiers and civilians who were still standing there, at a loss, "Get out of the way! Get down! Everyone, get down!!"

His voice exploded in the air like thunder, deafening.

However, faced with such sudden danger, many people were still frightened and stunned, completely losing their ability to move.

The leader was extremely anxious and continued to shout at the top of his lungs, "Bombs! If you don't want to die, get down right now!"

boom!

The next second, the shell fell straight down like a ferocious beast, and as if it had eyes, it hit the center of the blocked passage exactly.

Bang!

The dazzling flames suddenly erupted like a volcanic eruption. In an instant, the raging flames swept across an area of ​​100 meters at an astonishing speed.

Those innocent civilians who had no time to dodge were ruthlessly swallowed by the surging flames without any defense. They didn't even have the chance to scream before they disappeared in the sea of ​​fire in an instant.

Not only that, even those independence army soldiers who were too close to the explosion point were not spared.

Their frail bodies appeared extremely fragile in the face of the powerful shock wave. Each figure seemed to be lifted up by an invisible force, floating lightly into the air. In the blink of an eye, they flew dozens of meters away, and then fell heavily to the ground. Their life force quietly disappeared, and the whole scene was horrific.

"Charge, brothers! Charge forward together and kill all these bastards from the Independence Army! Take down Yudu in one fell swoop and capture Zhang Ye alive!"

Outside the barbed wire, coalition soldiers surged in like a tide, taking advantage of the cover of night to rush out continuously.

They did not choose to cross the checkpoint and leave directly. Instead, they cleverly took advantage of the chaotic situation caused by the explosion and pounced on the surrounding independent army soldiers like hungry wolves, launching an extremely bloody massacre.

At this time, the regiment commander lying on the ground watched his subordinates being slaughtered wantonly by the enemy. The veins on his forehead bulged as if they would burst at any time.

In this situation, he could only struggle hard again and again, but the injuries on his body made him helpless. After several attempts, he still couldn't get up successfully.

He could only use up the last bit of his strength, turn over with difficulty, lie on the ground with his back to the sky, cover his chest which was in constant pain, and let out a deafening roar that resounded through the sky.

"Open fire! Hit hard! Don't let any enemy step into our defense zone!"

Da da da da da…

The sound of gunfire that came one after another was even louder and more frequent than the firecrackers set off during the New Year.

Although there was a whole regiment of troops stationed here, they still seemed a little overwhelmed when faced with the Allied soldiers who were pouring in like a flood.

In this short period of time, no matter how hard they fought, they still found it difficult to quickly fill the huge gap in the defense line before them.

……

An hour later, at the Rangzhou Allied Forces Headquarters.

Wu Zhongwen hugged his shoulders and stared at the map in front of him, motionless like an emotionless war machine.

At this moment, the front-line positions have entered a fierce battle. The defense lines in various regions have all been subjected to fierce attacks by the Independence Army. Some places have even become difficult to resist.

However, for him now, there is no need to pay attention to these things.

Let them lose the position. Anyway, there is more than 100 kilometers of terrain behind them. It is impossible for the Independence Army to squeeze the coalition forces out of the Central Plains in a short time.

Right now, his focus has shifted to the Pingxian area. As long as the vanguard can successfully break through the Independence Army's defense line, tonight will be interesting.

dong dong dong...

Heavy footsteps were heard from outside the house, and then Wu Zhongwen's adjutant came running in hurriedly, clutching a telegram. As soon as he entered the house, this guy could no longer contain his excitement and hurriedly reported.

"General Wu, great news! The Pingxian defense line has been breached. Our vanguard has successfully advanced five kilometers. Although we encountered resistance from a small group of independent troops along the way, their limited numbers made it difficult for them to form an effective combat force."

"good very good!"

Wu Zhongwen, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly had a gleam in his red eyes, and his stiff and gloomy expression disappeared in an instant. He took the telegram, glanced at it roughly, and couldn't help laughing.

"Hahaha, this Zhang Ye, I really predicted it right. All the troops and artillery fire are deployed on the front battlefield. Only a dozen kilometers away, there is a huge gap in their troop deployment."

"Notify the 3rd Division to launch a blitzkrieg immediately. This breach must be widened within an hour!"

Wu Zhongwen did not hesitate at all and took out the ace troops that had been prepared for a long time.

The 3rd Division was the founding team of the Feng faction. Over the years, they have had the most comprehensive and advanced equipment, just to be able to tackle tough problems at critical moments.

Now, a gap has been opened in the northeast direction of Ping County. If we cannot expand the victory and advance before the enemy support arrives, all our efforts tonight will be in vain.

"Mr. Wu, one hour is a bit tight. I'm afraid it will be difficult to complete the task."

Sun Chuanfang, who had been holding back for a long time, hurried to the map and pointed to the position where fierce fighting was taking place on the east side of Ping County and gave a reminder.

"The enemy's 9th Division is currently conducting an offensive fifteen miles east of Ping County. If we send reinforcements from there, they will surely reach our current position in an hour at most."

"By then, the 3rd Division will most likely face being attacked from both front and back."

"No!" Wu Zhongwen shook his head firmly, his eyes fixed on the road between the two positions. He sneered, "I've laid a three-kilometer minefield along the way. If the Independent Army wants to provide quick support, they'll have to mobilize the artillery regiment to clear the obstacles."

"Without artillery suppression, the enemy's 9th Division will have no advantage at all. At that time, will they dare to turn around in front of us?"

"Choose the lesser of two evils!" Wu Zhongwen smiled confidently, looking at everyone with a smug look on his face. "Zhang Ye should know what to do. If the northeastern direction is lost, they still have a chance to make amends. But if they lose the 9th Division's position, the pressure on the front will be enormous!"
