Chapter 1464 Three Hundred Thousand Soldiers at the City Gates
"This way! Head this way!"
"Move aside, don't block the road!"
Amidst the flurry of commands, large towing vehicles commissioned by the Santos government arrived at the coastal defense base. Simultaneously, with the joint assistance of numerous stevedores and soldiers, the heavy firepower and military equipment from the ships were quickly loaded.
Soon, these fully loaded towing vehicles departed in an orderly fashion, transporting their cargo to the front lines of the Old Mo Allied Forces!
During this process, Su Tianyu watched the thirty-odd massive freighters, pondered for a long while, and couldn't help but turn his head and ask, "You guys are pretty bold, bringing over thirty freighters at once. Aren't you afraid of being discovered and attacked by the First Zone fleet at sea?"
Hearing this, Jiang Zhou smiled, pointed at the ships, and said, "Take a good look. These ships are flying the flags of the Southern Alliance. I would love for them to send a fleet to mess with us. That way, the Southern Alliance would have an excuse to simultaneously increase troops to the Old Mo region along with us."
Su Tianyu asked with some curiosity, "Is the Southern Alliance also interested in this matter?"
"Of course!" Wu Han grinned and chimed in from the side, "We're always surrounded by a bunch of poor brothers. They're not afraid of fighting! Now that the big brother is reimbursing their military expenses, they can't wait to come!"
"True."
Su Tianyu nodded and took out a cigarette from his pocket. The three of them stood against the sea breeze, lit their cigarettes, and began to chat.
Jiang Zhou thought for a moment and said to him, "I definitely don't need to worry about my side, but you need to pay more attention to your side. So much military equipment is being transported from here to Desola. The journey is long, so don't let the enemy steal it."
Su Tianyu smoked his cigarette, and upon hearing this, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, that's not a problem. The Old Mo inland is very stable now, and there are no more battles. Anti-aircraft firepower has been redeployed along the way. It's impossible for the First Zone's planes to fly around over our heads as they used to. If they dare to come, they can forget about leaving."
"That's good." Jiang Zhou nodded and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "You've worked hard on this trip."
Su Tianyu smiled, "Everyone has worked hard. It'll be good when we win."
"Mm."
The three of them smoked their cigarettes and continued chatting.
At the pier, a large number of people continued to work busily, making the final preparations for the war.
Five hours later, all the military equipment had been unloaded from the ships and sent to the Desola region.
Su Tianyu prepared to return. Before getting into the car, he looked at Jiang Zhou and Wu Han for a long time, and then said to them, "If we win, let's have a meeting together in the Hua district."
Jiang Zhou nodded slowly and replied softly, "If we win, go home early."
"Okay!"
The two sides waved goodbye, the convoy left, and the ships sounded their horns and left the port one by one.
Riding in the military vehicle, Su Tianyu resolutely returned to the battlefield. Now, with the support of this batch of military equipment from the Hua district, he had the confidence to break through the Desola defense line.
...
At three o'clock in the morning, Su Tianyu returned to the forward command post on the outskirts of Desola.
At this time, the Allied Forces' large-scale troops had completed their assembly. A full 280,000 troops were amassed at the front line, deployed and arranged in their respective formations.
Looking out, the mountains and plains were covered with heads, a menacing and extremely intimidating sight.
After Su Tianyu returned, he immediately convened a military command meeting.
Soon, the generals of each unit gathered in the camp, smoking cigarettes and discussing with great enthusiasm.
At the meeting, Su Tianyu learned from intelligence sources that while he was receiving this support from the Hua district, the First Zone was also making moves.
Kang Dinghuang had ultimately mobilized about 70,000 mercenary armed forces from the surrounding area, plus the 20,000-strong foreign legion sent by the Northern Alliance Six Regions, and Bahia Qiao's own 50,000 troops, forming a defensive force of over 100,000 men.
So far, this force had completed its assembly, allocated defensive zones, and taken up positions in their respective locations.
Su Tianyu wasn't too worried about the enemy's total strength. His only concern at this time was how the First Zone would enter the fray and whether the Hua district's response would be quick enough!
After the military meeting, Su Tianyu sat in the command room, smoking a cigarette, and after thinking for a long time, he called Tan Mingchao.
Soon, the other party answered the phone and asked urgently, "Xiao Yu, when are you going to start fighting?"
"Tonight!" Su Tianyu said to him with a firm voice, "Mingchao, I only have one request for your side!"
Tan Mingchao paused and asked, "What request?"
Su Tianyu told him, "Just in case, if The Dragon City feels unprecedented pressure tonight, you can withdraw from the main battlefield, preserve your existing combat power, and don't fight them head-on."
"Okay!" Tan Mingchao nodded, and the two hung up the phone.
Su Tianyu sat in his chair, lost in thought again.
...
At around 9:30 in the evening, Su Tianyu led the guard regiment and other commanders from the command post to the forward battlefield.
A large number of soldiers had completed their deployment, lined up in long marching lines, stretching as far as the eye could see, like a tide, with no end in sight.
In a trench, Su Tianyu looked through binoculars at the small, brightly lit city in the distance—Desola—and after a long silence, couldn't help but sigh, "Looking at human history, we might be the only Chinese army to have fought our way here, right?"
Zhao Weihu next to him said to him, "All the combat troops are ready, and Wang Dingyuan has also taken his troops to the front line."
Su Tianyu nodded and put down the binoculars.
Zhao Weihu picked up the communicator for speaking to the entire army and handed it to Su Tianyu very solemnly.
Su Tianyu thought for a moment, picked up the communicator, and said with a measured tone, "This battle has been going on long enough, and now victory is within reach! Dongxi Pao troops, listen to the order! Open fire, blanket the building complexes on both wings of Desola! Let the sound of artillery ring out for half an hour! After half an hour, all 300,000 troops will launch a full-scale attack!!"
"Bang, bang, bang!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a series of violent explosions rang out!
The earth shook violently, and from the east and west sides, rows of dense artillery fire formed a thick barrage, soaring directly into the sky.
The decisive battle to attack Desola had begun!
...
At the same time, behind the forward position, in the Quan Tong Bureau's temporary office area.
Inside a tent, a large number of military intelligence personnel were sitting in front of computers, busily engaged in intelligence work.
Gu Baishun sat in his chair, smoking a cigarette, with a somewhat anxious expression. He looked at the people around him and urged again, "Everyone, put aside everything else and find Kang Dinghuang for me!"
