Imperial warlords: Cannons are the only truth

"What? The 11th Division lost the Qingjiang Bridge?"

Yamanaka Ino glanced at Kitashiro Ken, who was equally surprised, with a look of horror on his face.

As he spoke, Yamanaka looked at the wall clock and slammed his fist on the table: "How could this happen!"

"Was the 11th Division wiped out in just 5 hours?"

"Send a telegram to Maeda Ken immediately—the 21st Independent Army Division, which is reinforcing them, will arrive in less than half an hour!"

"Tell him not to attack yet! Wait for the 21st Division reinforcements to arrive, then he can lead the bridge-seizing offensive!"

Yamanaka immediately ordered someone to send a telegram to Maeda Kenji, who was determined to fight to the death...

"report!"

Just as Yamanaka's order was issued, another battle report came in: "Road 103 in Luyang has fallen."

"The division commander, Takekawa, was wounded by an enemy sniper while personally leading the front-line positions. Now, the division's chief of staff, Tomotani, who has taken over command, is leading the 11th Independent Army Division, which is providing reinforcements, to launch a counterattack!"

"Chief of Staff Tomoya requests that headquarters send more aircraft to support their counter-offensive..."

After the battles broke out on Qingjiang Bridge, Luyang Highway 103, and Lujia Railway, the foreign air force personnel within Luyang became the busiest group of people.

Yamanaka-i mobilized all available aircraft within Luyang to provide full air support to his troops on the Qingjiang Bridge, Luyang Highway 103, and the Lujia Railway.

However, due to the time constraints, the Yi people in Luyang had very limited aircraft, and most of them were fighter jets.

In addition, the Flugfaust Ausf.B20mm 9-tube shoulder-fired anti-aircraft rocket launchers equipped by the 96th Airborne Division and the 99th Airborne Division can effectively threaten foreign aircraft.

Therefore, although the Yi people's planes in Luyang were running around almost non-stop on various battlefields, they did not play a significant role.

Furthermore, to date, more than ten fighter jets have been shot down while conducting low-altitude strafing missions...

"Tell Yuya Tai—there are no more planes to support them!"

"The 11th Division is in dire need of support right now!!!"

Yamanakai roared hysterically, "What I want to know most right now is—how many Qian Kingdom troops have entered Luyang!"

"If the Qingjiang Bridge fell because reinforcements had not yet arrived, what was the reason for the fall of Highway 103?"

"The reinforcements on Highway 103 have been in place for a while!"

"The 16th Division and an infantry division of the Independent Army fought like this?"

"Even the division commander has been wounded! Could it be that the Qian Kingdom's forces attacking Highway 103 are far superior to the defending forces?"

As he spoke, Yamanakai looked at Kitashiro Ken, who was equally shocked.

It is obvious that neither Yamanakai nor Kitajo Ken were psychologically prepared for the battle of Royang to turn out this way...

This outcome is unacceptable even to all the people of the Yi Kingdom!

In fact, the Yi Kingdom's headquarters had been preparing for its invasion of the Great Qian Empire for ten years.

They had finally waited for the perfect moment to strike, and it seemed like everything was under their control.

Who knew that—having just occupied a province and not even encountered the main force of the Qian Kingdom's army, the ambitious and confident Yi Kingdom's army was repeatedly humiliated!

If the Qian Kingdom's dispatched army can't even execute the Black Mountain blocking plan formulated by the Yi Kingdom's headquarters, then they'll truly lose face big time...

"Report................"

"What is it now!" Yamanakai felt a chill run down his spine and his anger surged uncontrollably whenever he heard the word "report."

Looking at Yamanaka's bloodshot eyes and extremely ferocious facial expression, the communications officer hesitated for a moment, but still gritted his teeth and reported to Yamanaka the news that would only make him angrier.

"We've also lost control of the Lujia Railway..."

"Commander, I think I need to go to the front lines myself and see for myself this Qian Kingdom army that has entered Luyang!"

"The assessment of Qian Guo and the annual assessment of Shen Moshen and his Zhenguo Army need to be redone."

"I must go to the front lines myself!"

Bei Chengxian frowned with a serious expression and said, "I want to see with my own eyes what kind of army the Qian Kingdom army, which is currently fighting against the Imperial army, really is!"

"Order all troops within the territory of Luyang to rush to the nearest Luyang No. 103 kilometer marker, Lujia Railway, and Qingjiang Bridge to provide immediate support." Yamanakai issued the latest order, barely suppressing the urge to go crazy.

"Issue a telegram to the entire army—to annihilate the Qian Kingdom's army within the territory of Luyang at all costs!"

As she spoke, Yamanakai turned her gaze to Kitajo Ken: "I'll go with you!"

"I also want to see with my own eyes what kind of army the Qian Kingdom is capable of unleashing such astonishing combat power!"

"Based on the information gathered from the front lines, the Qian Kingdom army that fought alone in Luyang achieved such incredible results not only because of its weaponry and equipment."

"It would be impossible to do this without a tenacious fighting spirit, fighting style, and excellent tactical coordination!"

"The facts are already laid bare before us."

Yamanaka's face had turned extremely grim: "We have every reason to believe that this is absolutely a world-class elite force!"

After saying that, Yamanaka looked around at the officers present with a complicated expression: "Gentlemen, we must re-evaluate our enemy."

"Shen Moshen's troops will become the biggest obstacle to our Qian Kingdom's plan to occupy Qian!"
