Imperial warlords: Cannons are the only truth

Qingjiang Bridge.

The sounds of gunfire never ceased.

Due to a lack of sufficient bombers within the territory of Luyang.

Eager to regain control of the Qingjiang Bridge, the Yi people have even begun to drive fighter jets with all their ammunition spent into suicide crashes against the Qian troops on the ground.

They were trying to create a breakthrough opportunity for their ground forces by resorting to such a suicidal method!

After more than five hours of fierce fighting, the 99th Airborne Division miraculously seized control of the Qingjiang Bridge from the 11th Division of the Republic of Korea.

This outcome was unexpected even by the Imperial Supreme Command, far away in the capital city...

Upon receiving this news, the Imperial Supreme Command's conference room, after a brief moment of stunned silence, immediately erupted into a scene of jubilation.

The 99th Airborne Division proved with their actions that they are no less capable than systematically trained elite troops!

Shen Moshen was deeply moved by the formidable combat capabilities demonstrated by the 99th Airborne Division in actual combat.

This fully demonstrates that the experience of building a strong military based on the Youzhou model is entirely feasible!

At this time, the 99th Airborne Division, which had successfully captured the Qingjiang Bridge, was using the bridgehead built by the foreigners to hold the line.

Faced with the 99th Airborne Division's steadfast defense, the foreigners' counterattacks ended in failure time and time again.

Feeling deeply humiliated, the commander of the 11th Division of the foreign country, Ken Maeda, personally took off his shirt and led all the officers of the 11th Division in a desperate charge, carrying a light machine gun.

Under the leadership of Ken Maeda and a group of division officers, the 11th Division, whose morale had been severely dampened, was revitalized and unleashed its formidable fighting power!

However, they underestimated the 99th Airborne Division's determination to defend the collective honor of its soldiers.

Fierce enemies will only inspire greater courage, potential, and fighting power in the soldiers of the Great Qian Dynasty.

You're fierce! I'm fiercer than you! You're brave! I'm braver than you! You're tough! I'm tougher than you!

Ultimately, Kenjiro Maeda, the commander of the 11th Division who led the charge, was killed by a company commander from the 99th Airborne Division.

It is said that after the friendly unit was wiped out, the company was ordered to fill the gap and launch a counterattack against the fierce suicide squads of the 11th Division.

The two sides clashed and immediately engaged in hand-to-hand combat.

Ken Maeda, who was wielding a command sword, was stabbed through the neck by a bayonet thrust during a one-on-one fight with the company commander!

Maeda Kenya thus became the first division-level senior officer on the Yi side to die in the Battle of Royang......................

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Ken Maeda, who died in the Battle of Aoe Bridge, will surely become a "celebrity" throughout the entire country.

After all, despite having a defensive advantage and receiving air support, they lost the Qingjiang Bridge in just over five hours.

Such an "amazing" record is right there in front of us.

Ken Maeda can't even keep a low profile if he wants to!

Even after his death, the name Maeda Ken will live on in the barbarian army for generations to come.

Unfortunately, the company commander of the 99th Airborne Division who killed the enemy division commander did not make it off the battlefield.

Their unit was wiped out in less than half an hour...

Faced with the enemy's relentless and frenzied counterattack, the 99th Airborne Division also experienced a major surge in performance.

After the death of Ken Maeda, commander of the Japanese 11th Division, Isamu Mimori, commander of the 6th Brigade of the Japanese 3rd Division, who took over command, organized an even more ferocious counterattack.

"They've gone mad! The other team has completely lost their minds!"

The commander of the 21st Division of the Independent Army, who was coordinating the operations, felt his hand holding the binoculars tremble slightly..................

I thought the barbarian people were already quite fierce when they fought!

As long as the commander gives the order, the vast majority of the barbarian soldiers will throw themselves into battle with a fearless spirit.

But now it seems that these people in the Daqian Zhenguo Army are the real ruthless ones!

They're not just good at weaponry, they're awesome in every way...

I've seen people fight without regard for their lives, but I've never seen anyone fight with such ferocity and courage!

No matter how fierce the offensive, the 99th Airborne Division's defensive forces remained steadfast, like a steel nail firmly driven into place.

Unmoved by raging winds and torrential rain!

The 99th Airborne Division even seized the opportunity to launch several mini-offensives, driving the attacking forces into a sorry state...

"brothers!"

"good news!"

Li Jizhou, commander of the 99th Airborne Division, waved the telegram in his hand and excitedly shouted to the officers in the division headquarters present: "Our reinforcements are coming soon!"

"I mean the heavens!"

"Our air force is about to enter the field!!!"

"The Imperial High Command just called to tell us that we will receive air support and airdropped supplies in 48 hours at most, which is two days!"

Li Jizhou suppressed his excitement, his voice trembling.

This news couldn't have come at the perfect time!

"Our plane is already on its way."

"In order to support the battle in Luyang, the Air Force is urgently deploying aircraft by train."

"Within 40 hours at most, the train transporting the plane will enter the territory of Jia'an Province, which borders Luyang."

"As early as three days ago, a mechanized infantry regiment dispatched by the Anti-Rebel Legion had already entered Jia'an Province."

"They have already set up field airfields and constructed secure defense zones, and are just waiting for the air force planes to arrive!"

"After the Air Force planes enter Jia'an Province, they will be assembled on the spot and can immediately take off from Jia'an to provide air support to us."

At this point, Li Jizhou abruptly changed the subject: "Two days! Just two days!!!"

Li Jizhou held up two fingers and gestured to the crowd, saying, "As long as we get through these two days, all the problems will be solved!"

After the initial joy of the early arrival of support, the 99th Airborne Division still faced an incredibly harsh reality...

In order to quickly seize control of the Qingjiang Bridge, the 99th Airborne Division suffered enormous losses in both personnel and ammunition.

Without receiving news that air support would arrive ahead of schedule, Li Jizhou and his men were really not confident that they could hold out until the arrival of the anti-rebel army.

The sheer consumption of ammunition alone would be enough to cripple the 99th Airborne Division....................

Therefore, this news undoubtedly gave the 99th Airborne Division, which was already in dire straits, a shot in the arm!

Although they didn't know whether the 99th Airborne Division could hold out for the next 48 hours against an ever-growing enemy.

However, this hopeful situation also unleashed even greater potential in the soldiers of the 99th Airborne Division........................

Hearing the sound of the foreign planes approaching again, Li Jizhou spat on the ground angrily: "The foreign planes are having a great time!"

"Let them make a fuss for a couple more days."

"Once our planes arrive, they'll know what the true kings of the skies are!"
