Imperial warlords: Cannons are the only truth

After gaining air superiority, they bombed continuously for nine hours.

A total of 1 tons of fuel-air explosives were dumped across the entire Dagasa fortress defense line.

This was also a death order issued by the Supreme Command to the attacking forces, requiring them to drop all 1 tons of fuel-air explosives on the Dagasa fortress within ten hours!

If the desired effect is not achieved, the second round of fuel-air explosives will continue!

In short—don't worry about consumption, there's plenty...

The result was that the attacking force successfully completed the mission of dropping 1 tons of fuel-air explosives in just nine hours.

After the white fog that had permeated the entire Dagasa fortress defense line dissipated.

What came into view was endless ruins...

The entire defensive line was eerily silent, without a single sound.

The ruins stretched as far as the eye could see, and a deathly silence hung in the air.

At that moment, it seemed as if everything in the world had stood still.

After the bombing ended, Cao Hanfei did not immediately order ground troops to enter the Dagasa fortress.

It wasn't until the next morning that the Daqian Zhenguo Army's ground forces received the order to advance.

As far as the eye could see, all the defensive structures were in ruins, and no survivors were found at the scene.

The defenders of the Dagasa fortress were either vaporized by the continuous bombardment of high-intensity fuel-air explosives, scorched by the high temperature, or suffocated to death.

Those soldiers who were vaporized were undoubtedly lucky; at least they vanished with almost no pain.

Those who hid inside the fortified positions undoubtedly became the unluckiest group in this battle...

Inside the fortifications, there were almost no signs of shrapnel wounds, and the bodies of the soldiers lying inside were all intact.

The scene was extremely tragic...

Many soldiers scratched their own throats before they died, and corpses with their mouths agape were everywhere.

Besides the soldiers who suffocated to death, many others had their internal organs shattered by the powerful shockwave...

Although Cao Hanfei specifically assigned the vanguard troops who were the first to enter the Dagasa Fortress to be troops who had experienced the battles of Luyang and Fulong.

However, faced with such a horrific scene, many Qian soldiers couldn't help but feel a surge of nausea and turmoil...

The destructive power and horrific scenes caused by fuel-air explosives are thus evident.

Just as Cao Hanfei and others had predicted, the first battle at Dagasa saw the Daqian Zhenguo Army once again break the records they had set in the Battle of Luyang, the Battle of Fulong, and the Battle of Liaofu.

In less than a day, the Daqian Zhenguo army captured the Dagasa Fortress, which was considered "absolutely impossible to breach head-on"...

Moreover, the battle to capture the Dagasa Fortress should be considered the easiest breakthrough battle ever fought by the Daqian Zhenguo Army.

At least for the ground forces responsible for the “offensive,” it was actually a “peaceful” takeover.

The ground troops that entered the Dagasa fortress basically completed their mission without firing a single shot or even seeing any living enemies.

In the words of the Daqian Air Force, the Army's mission this time was purely to "pick up the scraps"...

-------------------------------------

"Haven't you made contact with Fort Dagasa yet?"

"Even if we lose, I want Sylvester to tell me himself!"

"How could there be absolutely no response?"

The conference room was filled with the furious roar of Salo's president, Kolcliff Gran.

"Has the entire army in Dagasa been wiped out?!"

When was the last time you were contacted?

"Sixteen hours ago, the last telegram sent by the Dagasa Fortress Command said that the Qian people had used poison gas on a large scale against the Dagasa Fortress."

"Since then, we have lost all communications with Fort Dagasa........................"

"Sixteen hours ago?" Kolcliffe Glen's face was extremely gloomy. "Where are those shameless Gan people! What on earth did they do to Dagasa!"

"President..." Looking at the furious Kolcliffe Glen, Sharo Defense Minister Bernard Levay still forced a smile and said, "This is information just released by the Qian Kingdom."

"The Daqian Zhenguo Army has announced the completion of its full capture of the Dagasa Fortress defense line..."

As he spoke, Bernard Levi carefully pushed the stack of the latest intelligence reports in his hand in front of Salo President Kolcraw Grant.

Kolcraw Grant flipped through the summary with a dark expression.

This includes several photos of the Dagaza fortress shrouded in white fog.....................

“Not even a day…not even a day…” Kolcliffe Glen felt his heart clenching.

next second.

Kolcraw Glenn vented his anger on the documents and files on the table.

The swept-away documents and materials were immediately scattered all over the floor.

Defense Minister Bernard Lewai gestured to others to quickly gather the documents on the floor back together, while simultaneously ordering someone to fetch Kolcraw Grant's personal physician...

After a while, he received a shot of adrenaline.

Kolcliffe Glenn recovered.

With no word from the million-strong army, the Dagasa fortress was completely breached in less than a day.

Most people would probably find it hard to accept such a hellish piece of bad news all at once....................

Not to mention Kolcliffe Glen, who already had a heart condition.

"The people of Qianguo are a bunch of shameless demons! They actually dared to openly violate international conventions and use poison gas against us!"

"Heinous! Inhuman!"

"We must retaliate!"

"We must expose the evil deeds of the Qian people in front of the whole world!"

"President, the most urgent task is to issue an order to withdraw troops outside the Dagasa fortress from the Dagasa region as soon as possible," Defense Minister Bernard Liwai said.

"The garrison at the Dagasa fortress accounts for 80 percent of our total forces deployed in the Dagasa region."

"Now these 800,000 troops have completely lost contact with us."

"Their situation is chilling to think about."

"Until we figure out exactly what kind of poison gas the Qian people used on the Dagasa fortress, we absolutely cannot continue fighting the Qian people in the Dagasa region."

"Otherwise, the remaining 20 troops would most likely be annihilated by the Daqian Zhenguo Army on the Dagasa battlefield!"

"Withdraw! Let them withdraw first! Quickly! Issue the withdrawal order immediately..." Upon hearing this, Kolcliffe Glen immediately agreed to Bernard Levi's suggestion and issued the withdrawal order directly.

"There is a traitor within our ranks!"

After calming down, Kolcliffe Glen gritted his teeth and said, "There must be generals at Dagasa Fortress who have been bribed by the Qian people!"

"Otherwise, even if the people of Qian Kingdom used new poison gas weapons, they would never have been able to occupy the entire Dagasa Fortress so quickly."

"The strongest fortresses are often breached from within!"

"There must be a traitor within Fort Dagasa!" Kolclaff Glenn's expression grew increasingly agitated. "Traitor! Shameless traitor..."

"Now it seems—there is indeed such a possibility, and the possibility is very high!"

Defense Secretary Bernard Levay had already considered this statement by Kolcliffe Glenn.

"The Dagasa fortress has a very complete ventilation and filtration system, so even if our soldiers are attacked by a large-scale poison gas attack, they can take shelter in the fortress."

"Moreover, our soldiers are all equipped with gas protective gear..."

"After much thought, only an internal rebellion could have caused the current situation."

"However, Marshal Temple Silvers, commander of the Dagasa Fortress, is certainly not the one who betrayed Sharo!"

"I can guarantee this with my life!"

"Marshal Sylvester's loyalty to Salo is beyond question."

"This is one of the reasons why I recommended Marshal Sylvester to be the commander of the Dagasa Fortress!"

“I don’t want it to be our fortress commander who has run into trouble.” Kolclaff Glen looked weak and exhausted. “We need to find out the inside story of why the Dagasa Fortress was breached so quickly by the Qian people as soon as possible!”

"We must find out exactly what the Qian Kingdom people did to the Dagasa Fortress!"

"If the problem lies within Dagasa Fortress, then who exactly is this traitor who betrayed Sharo..."

"What weapon produced those white mists over Dagasa Fortress?!"

Kolcraw Grant gave a death order to the head of Sharo's intelligence department: "I don't care what methods or channels you use!"

"I want a detailed report on these issues on my desk within 24 hours..."

"You must find out the truth about the fall of Dagasa within 24 hours!"

“Yes! We’re already in action!” Sharo Intelligence Minister Trevicon Ifry wiped the cold sweat from his brow and assured Kolklav Glenn, “We’ll get to the bottom of this within 24 hours!”

After receiving assurances from Trevicon Ifley, Kolcraw Grant then turned his attention to Elliott Joshua, the Minister of the Interior of Sharo, who was present.

"The Ministry of the Interior shall immediately begin an investigation of all officers of colonel rank and above at the Dagasa Fortress!"

“And another thing!” Kolcliffe Glenn added, “In addition to that, the Ministry of the Interior will also conduct a nationwide internal investigation.”

"Not only military personnel, but also local government officials must go through this process!"

"Any traitor discovered will be executed by firing squad without trial..."

"We must let everyone know—Shaluo has zero tolerance for traitors!"

“Understood!” Elliott Joshua, the Minister of the Interior of Sharo, nodded and asked, “President, are members of the General Staff also included in this internal transfer?”

"Of course! And we need to focus on key personnel! The more important the position, the more we need to intensify our investigations."

Kolcraw Grant glanced around at the high-ranking officials present and said coldly, "If we can't even guarantee the loyalty and reliability of the top leadership, how can we possibly fight against the Qian people!"

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs should conduct a thorough investigation, especially of the people around me."

Kolclough Glenn added, "Including my family!"
