Chapter 270: Attacking Imjin City
The captain of the action team was also very surprised, but he scolded the person who spoke, "Shut up."
"Have you forgotten the special warfare regulations? The operation has not yet been completed. We should be careful and cautious and not be careless."
"Yes, captain, I was wrong." The man who had just spoken immediately lowered his head and admitted his mistake.
Although the special forces are elite and have spent a lot of time in training over the past three years, they do not have many actual combat encounters and spend more time training in the field.
The team leader took out his pocket watch and saw that the time was five fifty-six.
He immediately ordered: "All teams, pay attention. Move in four minutes. Team one will first eliminate the guards at the foot of the city wall. Team two will open the city gate. Team three and four will go up the city wall."
"Yes, Captain." Several team leaders responded immediately.
After the tasks are assigned, everyone is ready and starts to act when the time comes.
As the time came to six o'clock, the captain immediately whispered: "Action."
The five teams immediately took action, four teams headed towards their targets, and the fifth team, led by the captain, was on guard at the periphery.
The special forces members acted very quickly, using only daggers to kill the guards at the foot of the city. The second team quickly opened the city gate, and the third and fourth teams climbed up the city wall to kill the guards on the top of the city.
Because there was a large army stationed outside the city, the defense inside the city was very lax, and there were not many guards on the top of the city, and they were quickly eliminated by the special forces.
As the city gates opened, soldiers outside the city quickly entered the city and took control of the city walls.
The 151st and 152nd Regiments of the th Division entered the city from the west. The two regiment commanders immediately found the intelligence agents and led them to the Northern Army Headquarters marked on the map.
Not only the west gate was successfully captured, but also the north gate, east gate, and south gate were successfully opened. The 15th and 16th divisions entered the city of Imjin.
The target of the 15th Division was the Northern Army Headquarters, and the target of the 16th Division was the base of the Small Locust Kingdom in Imjin City and its headquarters.
At the same time, the two divisions sent out their direct troops to control the four city gates and began to deploy defenses in the city, closing the gates and beating the dogs to prevent the enemies in the city from escaping.
The operation in the city went smoothly, and the eight divisions and the armored division were also deployed outside the city.
It is winter now and the dawn comes late. Even at six in the morning, the sky is still pitch dark.
The artillery positions of each division had already been arranged, the intelligence office of the coordinates of the Northern Army’s base had already marked them, and the Nanshan Army’s artillery quickly debugged all parameters.
At half past six, the artillery launched an artillery attack on six military bases outside the city.
The sound of cannonballs broke the silence of the early morning. As shells fell, bursts of fire flickered in the Union Army's camp.
Under the bombardment of 120 artillery pieces in a division, the power displayed by the army's 1200 artillery pieces can be imagined. In addition, the bombardment came suddenly, and many soldiers were killed in their sleep.
Even the soldiers who survived seemed very panicked during the bombardment and fled everywhere to avoid the bombardment.
Before the artillery bombardment outside the city, the two divisions inside the city also moved to the designated positions. Without hesitation, the two divisions launched attacks on the Northern Army and the Dwarf Locust Army respectively.
The Northern Army's 1st Guard Regiment was stationed at the headquarters. Because Wu Peisheng was wary of the dwarf locusts, the Guard Regiment was on high alert.
The 15th Division's surprise attack did not gain much advantage, and the two sides fell into a stalemate. However, the 15th Division had four regiments, which had a troop advantage and had already surrounded the headquarters.
Hearing the gunshots outside, Wu Peisheng hurriedly dressed and came out and asked, "What happened? Are the dwarf locusts attacking us?"
"Report to the commander, I don't know the specific situation, but there are a lot of enemy troops around." A staff officer replied in panic.
Wu Peisheng's heart skipped a beat. He wondered if the dwarfs were angry and humiliated because they had come to their door so frequently in the past few days. But after thinking about it, he felt that it was impossible, as they had 180,000 troops outside the city.
Yang Fu also ran out in a hurry at this time. When he saw Wu Peisheng, he asked anxiously: "Commander Wu, what happened?"
"It's not clear yet. I'm just about to send someone to find out the situation..."
"boom……"
Before Wu Peisheng finished speaking, the sound of cannon fire rang out outside the city. He immediately reacted and his scalp went numb.
Yang Fuze didn't know what was going on. Seeing that Wu Peisheng looked unhappy, he asked again, "Commander Wu, what's wrong?"
"Deputy Minister Yang, I'm afraid the Nanshan Army has launched an attack on us." Wu Peisheng smiled bitterly.
Yang Fu was surprised: "How is it possible? How many troops can there be in Nanshan? We have more than one million allied forces. How dare they take the initiative to attack?"
"You don't understand. I have fought with the Nanshan Army twice. As long as the enemy showed a flaw, the Nanshan Army would pounce on it without hesitation and attack fiercely when the flaw occurred." Wu Peisheng shook his head.
"Although the coalition forces are powerful, we assembled too slowly and marched too slowly, which gave them the opportunity to defeat us one by one."
What Wu Peisheng didn't say was that the reason why the Nanshan Army waited until now to send out troops was probably because they were waiting for the arrival of the various coalition forces.
If the other coalition forces were far away, the other troops would probably run away after the Northern Army was defeated.
Now, the troops of Zhang Futing and Ma Yunshan are probably neither too close nor too far from Linjin, which is why the Nanshan Army chose to attack at this time.
After defeating the Northern Army, he quickly went north to eliminate Ma Yunshan, and then had a decisive battle with Zhang Futing.
Wu Peisheng felt dejected and powerless. Even if he thought of these things, he was powerless to change them. Now that the battle had begun and the Nanshan Army had been deployed, it was a luxury to change the situation.
Even if he wanted to make changes, now that the Nanshan Army had entered the city, they were trapped and could do nothing even if they wanted to.
At this moment, Duan Chengrui ran out in a panic. When he saw the two of them, he asked them bluntly, "Is it the dwarf locust army venting their dissatisfaction outside?"
"I told you not to go to Cuichu Locust Army. They have their own plans, but you didn't believe me. Now, how can we extinguish the anger of Locust Army?"
Seeing Duan Chengrui chattering non-stop, Yang Fu couldn't help but curse, "Traitor."
"What did you say?" Duan Chengrui's fur instantly stood up, like a cat whose tail was stepped on.
"Yang Fu, although you were promoted by the president, you are only the deputy minister of foreign affairs. Believe it or not, I will report you and remove you from the position."
"You can join in." Yang Fu said indifferently. If it was really as Wu Peisheng predicted, their fate could be imagined.
The Nanshan Army had entered the city and the headquarters was surrounded, so they had nowhere to escape.
While the two were arguing, explosions were heard in front of them. Within ten minutes, a hundred soldiers retreated, including the captain of the guard.
Seeing the three men, the head of the guard stepped forward and said, "Commander, our brothers can't hold on any longer."
After saying this, the regiment commander lowered his head and left. He did not ask Wu Peisheng and others to leave first. Now that the headquarters was surrounded, where could they go?
"What?" Duan Chengrui was very dissatisfied.
They had only been holding out for a short time when the enemy broke through. He wanted them to hold out for a while longer so that he could have a talk with the dwarf locust people.
Before he could react, a large number of Nanshan troops rushed in, and someone shouted, "Drop your weapons and surrender, and you won't be killed."
Some of those who resisted were beaten to death, and the remaining soldiers chose to lay down their weapons.
