Chapter 1816 The Revenge of the National Defense Force
This infantry company of the National Defense Army suffered a devastating blow, with only about 40 men surviving.
And more than 20 of them were completely disabled.
These people, including the company commander, will find it difficult to live a normal life in the future.
Upon learning this news, the commander of the National Defense Forces infantry division was extremely somber.
Only about 20 men from the entire infantry company were able to return to the battlefield, which was a great disgrace to the national defense force.
Of a company, less than 1 out of 10 people are capable of fighting.
And this was done by enemies they could easily crush.
At that moment, the division commander was furious.
After a brief moment of anger, without any hesitation, the division commander immediately began to mobilize troops to encircle and suppress the resistance army.
Do you all think you're some kind of super strong desert camel?
Since that's the case, don't blame us for going all out!
The Army, Air Force, and Navy are all activated!
The division commander left the field hospital at noon, and before he had even finished lunch, the Air Force received an order from the National Defense Forces headquarters.
"Fully cooperate with the infantry division to launch a large-scale operation, regardless of any losses, with the primary objective of annihilating the enemy!"
Upon seeing this order, the air force pilots couldn't help but feel that the National Defense Force was serious this time.
Because the military issued this order, it means that the fighter jets of the National Defense Force will be taking off 24 hours a day without stopping.
There are approximately 300 fighter jets of various types throughout the entire Dwarf Empire.
Once the military issued this order, it meant that at any given moment, there were at least 100 fighter jets in the skies above the Dwarven Empire.
The dwarven rebels have no idea what they are about to face...
Upon receiving the order, the Navy immediately dispatched over 3000 Marines to land.
The two aircraft carriers together have more than 80 fighter jets of various types.
Carrier-based aircraft are also on standby to launch attacks.
The amphibious assault ship directly landed the marines in the northeastern part of the Dwarven Empire.
The Marines will lead the Elven Empire's army from the southern region of the Elven Empire toward the Dwarven Empire.
The Marines were originally supposed to land directly in the Dwarven Empire's capital and join forces with the National Defense Force to encircle and annihilate the Great Desert.
The problem is that without the cooperation of the national defense forces, the Elven Empire's army is likely to suffer a major defeat.
The Elven Empire's army, almost entirely, was utterly incompetent.
It's better to expect the National Defense Forces to advance slowly on their own than to expect them to launch an offensive.
The National Defense Forces have issued the latest combat orders.
The army, navy, and air force worked closely together to form an integrated strike force.
Air Force fighter jets were constantly roaring over the Dwarven Empire.
Ibelin was carried back from the front lines by his own men.
Ibelin's own camel was blown to pieces by the Su-27's machine gun.
If it weren't for his men's quick reaction in protecting Ibelin, he might have been reduced to pieces like the camel.
One of his men had his leg broken while covering for Ibelin.
Ibelin showed no joy upon his return.
Although they won the battle, the casualty ratio on both sides was not equal.
On average, it takes four people to replace one member of the National Defense Force.
For the National Army, this casualty ratio was unacceptable, but for the dwarves, it was a tremendous victory.
Everyone cheered, but only Ibelin looked serious.
Ibelin didn't care about the large number of casualties in this war.
Rather, they were worried about retaliation from the National Defense Force.
During the final charge, Ibelin was deeply shocked as he watched the Wehrmacht soldiers about to be routed.
Because Ibelin saw no fear or apprehension in the eyes of these Iberian soldiers.
Instead, Ibelin saw determination and resolve in the eyes of these soldiers.
From that moment on, Ibelin knew that the National Defense Forces would not be defeated by a surprise attack.
On the contrary, their sneak attack tactics will only provoke the National Defense Force to use more resources to encircle and annihilate them.
The current national defense forces have no shortage of time.
The gods were unable to launch an invasion of the planet in the short term.
The Space Force has taken on the heavy responsibility of protecting the satellite planet.
The National Defense Forces only need to slowly eliminate these resistance forces.
Despite their inferior equipment, the National Defense Forces did not underestimate the resistance forces.
On the contrary, the National Defense Forces attach great importance to these rebel groups because they know that it takes no less time to suppress them than to conquer the country.
If it took the National Defense Force five years to unify the world, it may take another five years to eradicate all the rebel forces in all regions.
That's right. Even with the current national defense forces, it would still take them five years to completely wipe out the rebels.
Counterinsurgency warfare is different from other types of warfare.
It is easy to conquer the world, but difficult to defend it.
If it weren't for the fact that Lyon has now recruited a large number of lower-level officials.
Many areas are probably still in a state of chaos.
Ibelin knew that the National Defense Forces had long been determined to wipe out these resistance forces.
But he had no choice.
He would either become a martyr for the resistance and the aristocracy.
Either abandon everything, including your family, and live a life of hiding and incognito.
But Ibelin could not abandon his family.
He had no choice but to become a martyr for the feudal system.
Even if the Dwarven Empire's resistance has no future, even if this resistance was wrong from the start.
Even when it's wrong, many people will still board this ship that's destined to sink.
Because they didn't board the ship for the sake of boarding; they boarded it to sink.
The rebels were celebrating their victory, and some of them turned their attention to Ibelin, noticing that he was sullen and seemed lost in thought.
In that instant, everyone seemed to realize something, and the rebel leader took the initiative to find Ibelin and ask him a question.
"What happened? Isn't this a victory?"
Ibelin looked at the frail old man before him and nodded silently.
"It is a victory, but not entirely a victory."
We did achieve a partial victory, repelling the National Defense Forces and nearly annihilating a company of their infantry.
But that's not enough. The National Defense Forces are known for their vengeful nature, and they are already gathering resources to launch a retaliatory operation.
Upon hearing Ibelin's words, the rebel leaders who were celebrating were instantly stunned.
"You clearly said we would win!"
"Yes, Ibelin, are you lying to us?"
Some high-ranking rebels started shouting, and Ibelin retorted immediately after hearing it.
"I talk about past victories, but have you ever considered that the National Defense Force might retaliate?"
Do we really have the strength to annihilate the National Defense Force? Even if you wipe out this entire infantry division of the National Defense Force, the National Defense Force will send more infantry divisions, or even an army group!
The resistance has no future; only death awaits us. But we are the last hope of the Dwarven Empire, the last inheritors of the Dwarven Empire. Our fate is sealed: either we die singing in triumph, or we rot in complacency!
If you want to live your lives in a daze, then you can escape into the depths of the desert now, or even escape to the goblins in the south!
But I don't want to run anymore. I'd rather die singing than flee!
Ibelin's words silenced everyone.
The dwarf leader who was retorted was speechless for a long time.
Because from the very beginning, before the war even started in Ibelin, all he could think about was how to escape.
Now that Ibelin has made these points clear, the entire dwarven resistance leadership erupted instantly.
