Fifty-two - siege on three sides
"Even if you ask me what it's all about...... How do you want me to answer you?"
Faced with this situation that was completely out of budget, both Tachibana Yukino and Ji Yuehua fell into a slight wavering. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the conference room of the Central Mountain Command, Ji Yuehua, along with Yukino Tachibana, Kenneth, and the two adjutants looked at each other silently. After a while, Ji Yuehua said with some difficulty, "I don't know much more than Sister Xue Nai, the only thing I know for sure is ...... This time, I'm afraid that the Calamity Beast really wants to take this island back. ”
At the same time, there were attacks from three sides, and the scale of each side could not be ignored by Ji Yuehua and others.
I thought that the additional manpower would be enough to deal with a considerable number of enemies, but I didn't expect that the other party would suddenly double the number.
Whether the harassment in advance was coincidental or intentional is probably not possible to determine this point. The question is, what to do.
"Border defense of the coast...... If our 13th Division doesn't support it, how long do you think it will be able to hold on?"
"Ten minutes, it can't be longer. And it's a river of blood. ”
In the past, the scale of the Calambulation Beast invasion was generally only about 100 to 300. Now, although the frequency and scale have increased at the same time, there are probably only 400 to 500 of them, and they are often committed collectively at once.
This time, although the scale of the Calamity Beast invasion reached a thousand, which was quite an astonishing number in the past, in principle, Ji Yuehua and the others were by no means powerless to fight back.
If the thousand calamities attacked in one spot as usual...... Then, the three divisions, plus the two Yakumo Zi who have the strength of the division commander, depending on the situation, plus Ji Yuehua, whose strength is between the division commander and the adjutant, it is not impossible to overthrow the opponent.
However, this time, the calamity beasts were scattered in three directions on the island and attacked at the same time...... This made Ji Yuehua and the others fall into a rather passive situation.
Regardless of whether there will be further reinforcements from the Calamity Beasts, in the absence of their Thirteenth Division, in the face of two or three hundred Calamity Beasts, the island's defense line will fall in less than a moment.
Although the last time he evacuated this island, Zuo Youxin did transfer a group of traditional soldiers from the mainland who did not belong to the 13th Division, and the number was really quite ...... After all, the island's fortifications are not as good as the mainland mainland.
Even in the home continent, which is well-equipped, has an advantageous area, and has high and thick walls, the traditional military still has a great disadvantage to the Calamity.
Modern scholars' research speculates that when the mystma had not yet appeared, the overall level of human science and technology was quite backward...... The human race was not completely annihilated by the calamity beasts, it was entirely because the other party went back satisfied when they were full, and found that the base of the calamity beasts in this human continent was small, so it only caused limited damage every time.
The invention of artillery allowed humans to begin to experiment with these alien creatures instead of being slaughtered unilaterally, even though the cost on the human side far outweighed the casualties on the side of the Illamers.
The appearance of the Myriad Stigmata began to bring humanity to the same level as the Calamity, truly allowing humanity to reclaim a city. Since then, as the number of calamity beasts that have crossed the sea has increased, the two sides have been engaged in a state of see-saw that continues to this day. That being said, the traditional military man's disadvantage to the Calamity Beast has not changed until now.
The passivity of Ji Yuehua and the others was that the two or three hundred calamity beasts were far beyond the level that traditional soldiers could handle, and their defense line was like a void.
The south coast, which is guarded by the Eleventh Division and Yakumo Zi, is okay, and when the calamity beast officially comes ashore, the fall of the other two sides may only be a matter of ten minutes.
However, if Tachibana Yukino and Kenneth had led the 5th and 8th Divisions against the enemy to the north and west, respectively...... Even if it were assumed that Hua Xue Nai and the two of them would be able to wipe out the enemy in just ten minutes, it would be a big question whether they would be able to maintain the same speed to rush to the south coast for reinforcements if they were wounded.
It takes about twenty-five to thirty minutes to get to the shore on either side from here in the Central Mountains, which is theoretically the time it takes for the illamber to reach the shore from the location where the alarm was triggered. Then, it would take about twice as long to get from the two coasts to the south coast, and it would most likely take an hour to get reinforcements to the south coast to meet the enemy on the north coast...... Even if you think about it with your toes, you will know that by then the flowers will be gone.
Although the 11th Division had about the strength of two divisions after counting the two of Yakumo, it was impossible for a lone army to face 600 calamity beasts.
The reason why Ji Yuehua and the others were able to fight against a thousand calamity beasts with thirty people last time was entirely because Zuo Youxin was there.
Zuo Youxin, the general staff officer of the military department, in addition to his own monster-level strength, more importantly, he represents the two pillars of the 13th division of the military department.
In terms of strength alone, his very existence was equivalent to a collection of six or seven hundred Calamity Beasts. Regardless of personal strength or weakness, fighting side by side with him has given everyone in the military department great confidence and glory, although the spiritual will to fight to the death cannot be presented in numerical form, but its influence is definitely a lot, especially for the encouragement of a strong person of Lorette Lloyd's level, how much role behind it can not be calculated.
Xiao Bieli is the division commander in the second column, and his strength is inferior to Hua Yizui. Then, even if Hua Yiyi is drunk and Xue Hongchen joins hands, he can't beat today's mythical Zuo Youxin.
In this way, the difference between the two battles is obvious.
is also outnumbered, and the commanders on the scene have a very obvious gap in strength and charm. Not to mention, the Second Division itself is an elite group selected from the 13th Division, even if Zuo Youxin's personality charm is ignored, their combat effectiveness is by no means comparable to Xiao Beili's 11th Division.
Therefore, although the size of the enemy has dropped from 1,000 last time to 600 this time...... Whether Xiao Bieli and the others can cope with it is a question that even Ji Yuehua is not sure about.
"All in all, sitting here is a waste of time. Sister Yukino, let's go first, it is imperative to support the defenders on the north and west coasts. If the lines on both sides are lost, our island will be finished. ”
After quickly sorting out the situation in his mind, Ji Yuehua groaned slightly, tried to calm down his feelings, and then made a suggestion to Tachibana Yukino and the others.
"But...... Adjutant Yakumo's side. ”
"Sister Zi, I'll figure it out."
In a tone that could not be refused, Ji Yuehua stood up from the chair and said categorically, "You are the commander-in-chief of this island, and you must take the whole island as a starting point. The rescue situation is most critical, and that is what you need to do now. The rest of the ...... Let me contact the headquarters. ”
