Chapter 339: Chapter 238: Results of the Battle (First Update)

Jiwei City, Lingyuan Building.

When Valenkin received the message and came over with his subordinates to take over, what he saw was a scene akin to purgatory.

In this area of the building complex, there were destroyed and twisted helicopters and armored vehicles everywhere.

Some tanks had overturned, some had exploded with their hatches open, and rolling flames were still not extinguished.

In front of the open square of Lingyuan Building, the bodies of over a thousand Japanese Soldiers were piled up, forming a small mountain of corpses.

The fire spread over the mountain of bodies, gradually burning these corpses to ash.

...

At some places the fire had not yet reached, Valenkin saw with his own eyes that some bodies had limbs broken, some heads had flown off, and some were completely chopped up, with not a single intact body part to be found; the pungent stench of blood was nauseating.

It could be seen that the faces of many Japanese Soldiers as they died were filled with bulging eyes and terror, and it was unknown what they had seen before their deaths.

“Mr. Su, the entire First Airborne Regiment of the Japan Army… all dead?”

Valenkin felt his voice trembling slightly as he spoke because such a military achievement was too astonishing.

He had not been without attempts to dispatch forces to retake Lingyuan Building, but after trying twice he had been repelled. This paratrooper unit was indeed elite.

Su Jie stood shoulder to shoulder with Han Ruyan at this moment and smiled upon hearing this, “Your eyes do not deceive you. I’ve said before that the night operations were to be left to Miss Han. She would be responsible for dealing with the enemy forces.”

Swallowing hard, Valenkin was inwardly shocked.

“Miss Han, I hope we can cooperate more in the future.”

Valenkin glanced at Han Ruyan, who still had the same icy demeanor, but thinking of her mysterious unit that had easily eliminated more than a thousand Japanese paratroopers, he felt a genuine awe for such combat power.

Although she was secretive, for the heavy combined brigade stationed here, it was undoubtedly great news.

“Alright, take your men to handle those equipment and ammunition; there is still a lot of usable equipment, don’t waste it.”

Su Jie dismissed Valenkin and said to Han Ruyan, “How about it? Isn’t this battlefield quite suitable for you?”

Han Ruyan nodded slightly, “Killing provides more Fear Energy than scaring people. I hope it can continue like this.”

“It’s only during wars that there are so many opportunities, not on ordinary days.”

Su Jie reached out and held Han Ruyan’s hand. Because he was bound to Han Ruyan through the Nine Nether Ghost Cultivation Technique, Su Jie could sense her condition.

At this time, Han Ruyan, having absorbed a large amount of Fear Energy, was like a kettle about to be filled to the brim, on the verge of completing her promotion to a Sixth-grade Fierce Ghost.

Han Ruyan withdrew her hand and said indifferently, “It will take some more time.”

A smile appeared on Su Jie’s face, “I’m about to break through as well. Let’s see who advances first.”

…………

Yang City Command Center, the highest officer of the Chan Country Sakura Army, Major General Yoshimura Yuichi, was trembling as he held the telegram.

Looking at the report about the First Airborne Regiment going missing, his eyes were bloodshot as if he were about to devour someone.

“What do you mean ‘missing’? More than fifteen hundred members of the First Airborne Regiment, so many soldiers, and it’s not just one or two. You’re trying to fob me off with ‘missing’?”

Slamming the report onto the table, Yoshimura Yuichi’s voice almost seethed through clenched teeth, scarily cold.

Now, the only Japan Army troops left in Chan Country were the First Airborne Regiment, and then they mysteriously went ‘missing’. How could he accept this? They were not ordinary troops but elite paratroopers, whose combat strength was top-notch even in Japan.

Facing Yoshimura Yuichi’s anger, the staff officers and intelligence personnel exchanged looks, their faces filled with bitter smiles.

“General Yoshimura, this incident might be inseparable from Chan Country’s involvement. Our Airborne Regiment went to help them capture the city, but they didn’t fulfill their responsibility, leading to the disappearance of our First Airborne Regiment.”

Someone quickly had the idea to first shift the blame to the Chan Country Government.

“Yes, yes! If it weren’t for the incorrect command of the Chan Country Government, how could our First Airborne Regiment face mishap?”

“We should never have sent our troops to Jiwei City. Those Chan Country Government definitely used the Airborne Regiment as cannon fodder. They handed over the most dangerous Lingyuan Building to our Airborne Regiment to defend, leading to this failure.”

“We demand an explanation from the Chan Country Government; our soldiers can’t just disappear without a trace.”

The other staff officers in the command room lit up and began to echo the sentiment.

After a defeat in the last battle, many at the command had been demoted and dismissed.

If this time the disappearance of the First Airborne Regiment was blamed on them, who knew how many would be held accountable?

Yoshimura Yuichi’s expression softened slightly, but he was still furious, “How is the investigation into the First Airborne Regiment going, how could they suddenly go missing without any message getting out?”

“General, according to our investigation, our First Airborne Regiment is not the only unit that suffered mishap. Last night, a total of four stationed units in Jiwei City mysteriously vanished. Indeed, nearby Chan Country Soldiers heard gunfire, but no communication came out. The soldiers sent to investigate also disappeared. In just one night, as many as two thousand five hundred soldiers went missing. We suspect that Jieke Group used electronic warfare suppression and most likely mobilized Steel Camp to attack. There might be some new technology we are unaware of. Those missing soldiers have likely died heroically, and the areas they belonged to have been recaptured by Jieke Group.”

“Three thousand men, gone overnight without any news getting out.”

Yoshimura Yuichi inhaled sharply, the casualty figures were staggering.

“Can that Steel Camp really accomplish this? I recall the Chan Country Government has quite a few new armored units, can those First-class Super Soldiers hold up?”

Yoshimura Yuichi was somewhat skeptical. After all, they’re but flesh and blood; they surely can’t withstand machine gun fire.

“We’re still investigating. The movements of the Steel Camp are very secretive, and we haven’t obtained precise information yet.”

“Figure out what’s going on as soon as possible. If we can’t determine how the enemy managed to do this, I’m afraid we won’t be able to capture Jiwei City according to the planned schedule.”

Yoshimura Yuichi ordered, then sighed as he looked at the eager staff officers below him.

“I’ll explain the situation back home. The disappearance of the 1st Airborne Regiment this time is not our responsibility, but the result of the Chan Country Government’s irresponsibility.”

Upon hearing this, many military staff officers breathed a sigh of relief.

“Additionally, the 9th Division, 7th Division, and Aviation Mixed Group newly dispatched from home, totaling twenty-two thousand soldiers, will arrive in Chan Country in the next ten days.

I reckon we won’t be able to take Jiwei City, and Ji State will most likely fall into the hands of the Jieke Group. We cannot accept this outcome, so we must be prepared for the upcoming battle. This Jieke Group is even more troublesome and fearsome than we expected.”

Yoshimura Yuichi shifted to another concern. As the Chan Country Government Army was blocked from aiding Jiwei City and Ji State faced imminent danger, the Eight Nation Group became anxious.

The countries coordinated with each other to assist Japan in transporting soldiers and equipment.

Otherwise, transporting a twenty-thousand-strong military force from thousands of kilometers away by sea would not be possible in such a short period of time, given the troubles and preparations involved.

“Excellent, with these twenty thousand troops, especially once the fighters reach Chan Country and we regain air superiority, the advantage in this war will return to us,” said the officers below, their spirits uplifted. The extreme difficulty of this war so far was 90% due to losing air superiority at the outset.

If we had air control, that heavy combined brigade of the Jieke Group, traveling across the plains toward Jiwei City, would have been bombed to ruin first, instead of being like it is now – a nail in our side that has led to the encirclement of fifty thousand Chan Country Soldiers.

“With the arrival of twenty thousand elite troops, we will make sure the Jieke Group is wiped out. Gentlemen, may you have the fortunes of war.” Yoshimura Yuichi stood up, his expression serious.

“Yes, long live the Emperor!” the group of staff officers stood up, their faces fervent.

……

The struggle for Jiwei City continued, and since the turn of the new century, this siege has been one of the most brutal urban battles.

Countless countries are watching intensely, looking to learn from the experiences and lessons, to refine and specially train their own armies.

On the internet, both the Chan Country Government and the Jieke Group upload videos of the ongoing battle daily, drawing the attention of the onlookers.

“Is Jieke Group’s electronic warfare systems really that powerful? Not even a drone can get close to Jiwei City.”

“Have you seen the sniper Tipasang from the Jieke Group, his first-person sniper perspective? His accuracy is unreal! Shot after shot, headshots, I’ve heard his kill count has surpassed two hundred, almost rivaling those legendary snipers from World War II.”

“The Chan Country Government is bogged down in urban warfare; their indiscriminate bombing of military and civilian targets isn’t achieving much. Large areas of the city are still in Jieke Group’s hands.”

“Look at the news, Japan’s 1st Airborne Regiment has been wiped out, haha, delightful to hear.”

While everyone discussed enthusiastically, half a month passed in a flash.

The Chan Country Government continued to deploy troops to contest Jiwei City, but the effects were negligible at best.

Especially during the last half-month’s offensive, nighttime became a nightmare for those Chan Country Soldiers.

It was not just the transition from day to night; the enemies they faced shifted from human to the inhuman Fierce Ghosts.

At first, the Chan Country Soldiers were bewildered; but gradually, they came to their senses.

Although they did not know how the Jieke Group managed to annihilate regimented defense forces without leaking a whisper of news, those Chan Country Soldiers no longer wished to stay in Jiwei City at night.

The Chan Country Army indeed made efforts, such as establishing a relief system and sending telegrams every ten minutes, but this still failed to prevent the wholesale disappearance of entire units.

When one unit lost contact and the relief forces arrived at the location, they only found a scene strewn with corpses, or even the relief forces themselves would go missing.

In the end, even the Chan Country Government could not sustain such losses. Having the stationed forces suffer casualties ranging from a few hundred to over a thousand nightly was unsustainable, no matter how resourceful one might be.

Eventually, the Chan Country Government had to relinquish parts of Jiwei City they had occupied, and these areas were retaken by the Jieke Group. The offensive became increasingly feeble.

In face of the tremendous losses, the morale of the entire encircling Chan Country Army around Jiwei City crumbled, and they could no longer pose a credible threat.

When the Chan Country Government abandoned the attempt to capture Jiwei City, the fifty thousand elite Chan Country Soldiers besieged in Jinlao Mountain met their doom.
