Chapter 201: Battle of Annan
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is already the end of October.
At this turbulent moment, the Kingdom of Dongyang launched a direct attack on the Kingdom of Annan!
At this time, the Lanxi fleet stationed here was simply vulnerable compared to the extremely powerful joint fleet of Dongyang.
This fierce naval battle lasted less than a week, but the result was shocking - the Lanxi fleet suffered a crushing defeat and was completely wiped out!
However, faced with such a war situation, Jili State did not easily make the decision to confront Dongyang State head-on.
The reason is very simple. At present, Dongyang State is only targeting Annan State.
Moreover, the Kingdom of Jili was well aware that its Far East Fleet was no match for the Kingdom of Dongyang and was unable to compete with it, so it naturally did not dare to rashly start a war.
Therefore, what Jili can do now is to continue to issue stern warnings to Dongyang State.
If Dongyang State insists on invading their colonies, they will mobilize more fleets from their homeland to reinforce.
Unfortunately, the Dongyang Kingdom apparently turned a blind eye to these warnings and did not take them seriously at all.
In this extremely tense situation, one morning, the sun had just risen and the morning light was shining on the sea.
The Dongyang State's combined fleet resolutely launched an island landing operation...
This time, Dongyang State sent out three full divisions, which attacked Annan State like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey.
Their purpose is obvious - to completely incorporate this land into their territory.
The commander of Dongyang State was even more ambitious and issued an order directly: "We must capture that crucial beachhead as quickly as possible!"
"Then, we will wipe out the Lanxi army and the Annan armed forces in one fell swoop!"
The generals shouted in unison: "Hi!"
However, things did not develop as smoothly as Dongyang State expected.
Because of Annan's unique geographical environment, it became an insurmountable obstacle - the complex and changeable terrain here was not suitable for large-scale battles.
Despite this, Dongyang State still achieved remarkable and brilliant results in the head-on confrontation with its strong military strength and well-trained soldiers.
But at this moment, the situation changed unexpectedly.
The Kingdom of Lanxi actually chose to retreat quickly and left the troubled Kingdom of Annan.
Perhaps they realized that staying here would only lead to a deeper quagmire; or perhaps it was due to other strategic considerations.
At the same time, Annan also had its own plans.
They were eager to break free from the long-standing rule of Lanxi State, but at the same time they were unwilling to be replaced by Dongyang State.
As a result, the people of Annam made full use of their country's dense jungle resources and adopted an extremely cunning and tenacious tactic - launching a thrilling jungle guerrilla war with the Dongyang Kingdom.
Faced with the almost cheating style of play of Annan, the three divisions of Dongyang Kingdom were really suffering.
They are often caught off guard by enemies hiding in the dark and appearing at random, and they will suffer a fatal blow if they are not careful.
Moreover, under such harsh combat conditions, supply lines were often disrupted or even interrupted, causing soldiers to face many difficulties such as shortage of supplies.
It can be said that this war that originally seemed to be won has now become extremely difficult...
After witnessing Annan's unyielding will to resist, Yan State extended a helping hand to it.
The Yan State allocated as many as 100,000 Yan-1 rifles at one time, as well as 500 small artillery pieces of various types and 1,000 light and heavy machine guns and other sophisticated armaments.
Yan Country also specially provided a batch of powerful Yan-1 rocket launchers!
The real intention behind all these actions is nothing more than to create endless troubles and troubles for the arrogant Dongyang Kingdom.
After all, Yan State really didn't want to watch Dongyang State easily and smoothly capture the land of Annan.
The Kingdom of Annan was naturally grateful and expressed many thanks for the generous gift and great help given by the Kingdom of Yan.
However, in sharp contrast to this was the Dongyang State, which was completely enraged.
They were extremely furious at Yan State's blatant provocation and opposition to them!
Originally, the Dongyang army had been exhausted and frustrated by the endless and elusive jungle tactics of the Annan Kingdom.
But now, Yan State has intervened again and played the role of the so-called "spoiler".
This undoubtedly made the Dongyang State, which was already mired in a quagmire, even worse and miserable.
In the dense and deep jungle, a group of soldiers from Dongyang State were groping forward cautiously.
Among them, there were one or two soldiers who were more vigilant and kept looking around, trying to detect any possible dangers lurking around them.
At this moment, who could have expected that there was a secret cave entrance hidden under their feet?
Even more unexpected was that a cunning Annan soldier quietly and silently removed the camouflage covering the cave entrance.
It happened in a flash, taking advantage of the moment when an unsuspecting Dongyang soldier was not paying attention.
The Annan soldier suddenly rushed out like a ghost, and with a sharp blade, he stabbed the poor soldier's vital part...
The soldier from Dongyang State suddenly trembled and then fell straight to the ground as if his spine had been pulled out.
Another soldier saw this and was startled. He was about to raise his gun and shoot.
The Annan soldiers who were originally exposed moved extremely quickly and hid back in the cave like cunning rabbits in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this, the extremely angry Dongyang soldiers threw several grenades into the cave.
Disappointingly, however, these grenades did not achieve significant results.
The reason is simple: these cave entrances are everywhere, and their interiors are intricate and interconnected, like a maze.
Even if powerful poison gas bombs were used, it would probably not be effective.
After all, the Annan soldiers can completely block the passage and prevent the poison gas from spreading.
Faced with such a situation, the Dongyang army was so furious that it seemed as if their chests were about to explode with anger.
Some of the impatient Dongyang soldiers simply followed behind and struggled to climb into the caves of Annan.
But unfortunately, they died one after another not long after they infiltrated, without any chance to fight back.
Although Dongyang State was deeply disgusted with Annan State's strange and difficult fighting style, it relied on its own strong strength and tenacious fighting spirit.
They eventually succeeded in capturing some key cities.
At this moment, the Dongyang Kingdom came up with a plan: to use local resources, recruit and arm local people, and use their strength to fight against the cunning regular army of Annan.
At the headquarters of Dongyang State, a group of senior generals sat together, staring at the huge strategic map.
They were concentrating on discussing the battle plan against Yan State.
Every decision and every deployment concerns the fate and future of the country.
However, all of this must wait until Dongyang State's latest model of Zero fighter is officially put into use.
Because they know very well that the performance of existing fighter jets is far inferior to that of Yan Country's advanced air force. If they act rashly, it would be tantamount to hitting a rock with an egg.
Only when this batch of powerful Zero fighters soar into the sky can they compete with Yan Country.
In the territory of Yan State, an equally fierce brainstorming session is unfolding.
The military strategists of Yan State are making careful plans.
They carefully studied the tactical characteristics and weapons and equipment of Dongyang State, striving to know both themselves and the enemy, so as to win every battle.
