Just Waiting for the Rabbit to Hit the Stump!
"All troops, listen up! Attack the Dragon Country's army!"
"This is our glorious battle!"
At this moment, Dai Le stood on the roof of his own tank, issuing his final command to all Challengers!
This is his last World War I!
Even if defeat is inevitable, one must uphold the dignity of Challengers.
In truth, the outcome of the Instance run was no longer important to him, a young man just starting out.
He couldn't learn Lin Ye's military technology and weapons principles.
He couldn't even fathom Lin Ye's Instance design techniques.
However, the way this Combined Arms Brigade attacks and operates is something he can imitate and learn from.
Because this is a tactic, the most basic and fundamental skill for Challengers.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step; he was determined to start by imitating Lin Ye in these minute details.
From now on, we will use the Dragon Country's Combined Arms Brigade combat method to command Instance.
Lin Ye is not meant to be surpassed, but rather to be imitated!
Once he understood this, he felt much better.
Boom!
The Challengers Faction fired the first shot.
Then the war began.
A single Combined Arms Brigade is enough to destroy a country; Six Combined Brigades deployed simultaneously constitute blatant slaughter.
The combat capabilities have undergone another qualitative change.
The remaining 60,000 Challengers were annihilated with overwhelming force.
The defeat happened much faster than they had imagined.
Meanwhile, Dai Le, who had been standing atop the tank observing the battle, watched intently as his team was utterly humiliated.
They didn't even want to blink.
Until the gunfire of the Dragon Country Type 99A Main Battle Tank slammed into his face, burning his mangled body...
[Firmament Notification: The system has detected that you have been killed in the explosion. Your Instance mission has failed. You will now continue to watch the Instance a spectator's perspective until the final Instance settlement!]
[Firmament Notification: The Challengers forces from the India Country have been completely wiped out by the Dragon Country!]
[The Dragon Country has located the remaining forces of the India Country and will launch a large-scale encirclement and suppression operation!]
[Meanwhile, the Dragon Country will send troops to Counterattack the Big Macaque Country forces that initiated the attack on the Dragon Country's electronic reconnaissance ship.]
At the same time, the number of players in the Instance Backend was also finalized.
[Number of Instance: 3,200,000]
[India Country: 1,500,000.]
[Big Macaque Country: 1,700,000.]
Meanwhile, on the other side...
Queen's Fleet Katerina's fleet has arrived at the border of the Dragon Country's territorial waters.
This place is very close to Hainan Qiong Island in Dragon Country.
If she wanted to attack, she could launch an attack on Qiong Island from this distance.
At the same time, she also received a notification from the Firmament.
The Challengers from India Country have been completely wiped out. Next, the Air Force and navy of the Dragon Country, which are stationed in India, will rush to provide support!
"What a pity..." Katerina frowned.
She originally intended to relieve the pressure on India Country by besieging the enemy's stronghold and attacking their reinforcements, but it seems that Dragon Country is not buying into her plan at all.
Moreover, the fall of India Country was much faster than he had imagined.
If we don't seize the opportunity to take Qiong Island with full force, we will face a pincer attack from the Dragon Country.
However, danger and opportunity coexist.
At this very moment, the Dragon Country's Nanming Fleet is at its most vulnerable. It would take at least an hour for the fleet and Air Force from India to arrive.
If we make good use of this one-hour window, we will have a chance to take over Qiong Island.
"It seems that this time, I, the young lady, am the key to victory in this contest!"
"All aircraft, take off and begin bombing Qiong Island, the Dragon Country!"
Under Katerina's command, all carrier-based aircraft took off, a total of two thousand aircraft soaring into the sky.
The target was clear: Dragon Country Qiong Island, the southernmost point of China.
As long as Dragon Country is undefended, these carrier-based aircraft could bomb the entire island of Qiong Island within ten minutes.
After that, Katerina and her Challengers would be considered to have occupied Qiong Island as long as they could land on Qiong Island.
This is a battle where every second counts!
"Commander Carter, as expected, we haven't found any trace of the Dragon Country fleet yet."
"Us..."
The carrier-based aircraft's flight commander was about to report the good news to Katerina when he suddenly stopped.
Then the communication equipment was filled with the sounds of intense artillery bombardment.
"What happened?!"
Katerina was initially pleased to hear the good news, but before she could finish her sentence, her emotions immediately took a rollercoaster ride.
"Not good! Commander Carter, a large fleet from the Dragon Country is anchored here, and there are also numerous anti-aircraft gun emplacements along the coast of Qiong Island..."
"This... this is a total of five aircraft carriers and dozens of destroyers!"
"Our aircraft are surrounded by fire!"
"We... Ahh!"
This caught Katerina completely off guard.
"Retreat! Retreat!"
Sizzle sizzle.
Her instructions had barely been given when the communication was cut off again.
"What exactly is going on? Why does the Dragon Country still have such a large fleet here? Didn't the Nanming Fleet all go to India?"
Katerina immediately activated the Light Screen.
They were stunned by what they saw.
In the scene, the mighty aircraft carrier fleet of the Dragon Country, like an iron wall, surrounds the entire Qiong Island.
The Qiong Island, Fujian, Southern Yue, Gui Sea, and Treasure Island.
Five aircraft carriers, accompanied by a massive destroyer fleet, are launching a fierce bombardment against the Challengers's aircraft.
Meanwhile, the coastline of Qiong Island has been filled with a dense array of anti-aircraft missile vehicles.
From a high vantage point, Qiong Island appears as if it's framed by a black border.
The dense barrage of artillery fire and missiles filled the sky, creating an impenetrable atmosphere.
Katerina looked up at the northern sky.
At this moment, the blue sky above Qiong Island was completely covered by thick smoke.
Whether it's aircraft carriers, destroyers, or frigates, the Dragon Country possesses extremely strong air defense capabilities.
Add to that the anti-aircraft missiles along the shore, and it becomes an impenetrable network of firepower.
Once a tiny fly flies in, it has absolutely no chance of escaping.
In fact, the other half of the Nanming Fleet had been waiting in the vicinity of the sea for quite some time.
At the same time that Type 815A Electronic Reconnaissance Ship was destroyed, all information about the Katerina Fleet was fully known to the Dragon Country.
The Dragon Country had completely anticipated Katerina's plans.
The reason they didn't launch a preemptive attack on Katerina's fleet was simply to wait and see, like waiting for an opportunity to strike...
In the Instance Backend, the number of Challengers is also decreasing rapidly.
In no time, the two thousand Challengers piloting carrier-based aircraft completely disappeared from this Instance.
"You bastard!"
Katerina slapped the aircraft carrier's railing.
One of the key advantages of an aircraft carrier is the maneuverability and attack range of its carrier-based aircraft.
Now that the carrier-based aircraft are gone, the aircraft carrier is no different from an ordinary ship.
It's not even as good as a typical destroyer.
She never expected that, with the Nanming Fleet of the Dragon Country dispatching three aircraft carriers and three amphibious assault fleets, there would still be five even larger aircraft carrier groups remaining near Qiong Island.
From this perspective, the troops that Dragon Country sent to India were really just a drop in the ocean.
What you thought was a diversionary tactic was actually just them playing along with your act.
If I had known this would happen, what would have been the point of my uncle's so-called strategy of dividing his forces?
