Kivotos Warlord Development Manual

"Wait a moment, I will notify Xiaocha to help you move backwards. When you retreat, pay attention to your speed and don't move too fast to alert the other party."

"Also, the enemy doesn't seem to have any intention of dispersing their chariots for the time being, so the threat to us is not that great. You can try to slow down your movements. Iroha is driving the Marder III towards us, and my sister is launching a counterattack from outside the battle line. The longer we delay, the better it will be for us."

"Ah? Has the Minister arrived? The enemies from the East District battlefield should have blocked our rear space, right? Should we transfer Xiaocha back to support the Minister?"

"After you transfer Xiaocha over there, you will definitely not be able to hold on. Don't worry, my sister just asked me to arrange for the troops in the rear to gather in the direction of her attack. Once she breaks through the front line, we can directly counterattack and eliminate the enemies who have detoured to our rear."

"Compared to the rear area that my sister and I are handling, you guys who are holding off those five tanks in the front are the most stressed out unit on the entire battlefield."

"Of course, if you can't hold on any longer, just retreat. My sister said she is confident that she can use that StuG III to eliminate all the enemy tanks, so you should try to save your energy for the remaining enemy operations later."

"If we show that we no longer have the energy to continue fighting, then I will definitely launch a decapitation mission against the enemy headquarters myself."

"Okay, I understand. Leave the front line to us!"

After confirming the new tactical adjustment, the front line of the "coalition" began to slowly shrink back, retreating to the ruins in the rear about ten meters away to continue fighting back.

Seeing that the "coalition forces" began to show signs of retreat, the opposing tanks slowly advanced forward, and the infantry group hiding behind the tanks also surrounded them, and quickly extended to the left and right sides with the cover of their own tanks' firepower, and began to exert more intense firepower suppression on the retreating security tactical team.

As the battle line moved back, the security tactical team had less space to deploy horizontally, but an L-shaped fire line gradually formed on the opposite side.

As the two sides gained strength while the other lost, the "coalition" side quickly fell into a state of suppression.

Da da da--

The hot bullets hit the broken concrete wreckage, splashing pieces of debris and sparks filled with the smell of gunpowder. The intensive firepower from the opposite side even made Xiaocha and the others unable to raise their heads.

"Xiaohong...I think your idea is not a good one..."

"We need to let them go a little deeper. The terrain here doesn't support them using multiple tanks to advance at the same time. As long as we retreat a certain distance, the tanks will be separated from the infantry!"

"Okey!~"

"Everyone, step back a little and take turns to cover each other!~"

As Xiaocha's energetic command spread in all directions, the nearby "coalition" girls immediately threw a bunch of grenades at the surrounding enemies. Then, amid a series of intensive shootings for active cover, some people retreated again and built a third line of fire about ten meters away.

While the "coalition forces" were gradually moving back in turns, the combined mercenaries who had just been briefly suppressed also began to charge under the cover of the tank's firepower. It seemed that their tactical intention was to cut off Xiaocha and her team's line in the middle.

Seeing these well-trained enemy troops gradually approaching their own line, Xiaocha, who was not very good at this kind of defensive positional warfare, could only withstand the enemy's fire suppression and grit his teeth to cover his companions who were moving backwards.

Da da da--

Boom boom—boom—

The security tactical team that successfully retreated to the rear quickly entered combat status, and their large number of submachine guns and shotguns formed a very dense firepower network in the close-range exchange of fire, quickly knocking down a large number of infantry chasing them, and forcing the other side to once again deploy more people to attack the front line.

However, this rigid shooting tactic hiding behind the defense line lasted less than ten minutes, and Xiaocha, who was extremely uncomfortable, started to yell.

"Xiao Hong! I think we should engage them in a mobile war around here! Hiding here and passively defending is really too disadvantageous!"

"Then you should pay attention to limiting the casualties. We still have to wait until we meet up with the minister before launching the final offensive!"

"Don't worry. Forget about the wide terrain ahead. We are good at the infiltration tactics in the complex terrain behind!"

"But you have to be careful to hide well. Once our front line is dispersed, the surrounding area will be taken away by them!"

"Understood. I will move further back to ambush their chariots!"

After confirming that Xiaohong already knew her tactical intentions, Xiaocha immediately waved her arms and made a series of tactical gestures. The "coalition" girls hiding in the nearby ruins quickly moved to the left and right and disappeared from the sight of the attacking troops on the opposite side.

As the firepower of the counterattack line gradually weakened, the attacking troops that rushed up finally succeeded in breaking through the "coalition" defense line.

However, before they could be happy for long, a burst of rapid gunfire was heard from almost all directions at the same time, and the hot steel rain of bullets instantly knocked down the enemies who rushed to the "coalition" position.

Seeing that their offensive was thwarted again, the tanks that had been stationed in the rear to provide fire support finally began to change their formation.

Two tanks quickly moved forward and penetrated the ruined position, trying to provide more intense fire suppression for the attacking forces, while the other three tanks slowly moved to the south, apparently intending to find a gap that could cut off the "coalition" position.

After seeing that the opposing chariot had opened up a distance as she had guessed, Xiaohong, who had already moved to the front of the chariot's route, smiled happily and quietly hung up the phone with the riding minister.

This box of explosives can blow up a tank. Next, it depends on whether the Crusader tank of the "Cavalry Department" can destroy another one.

If this round of cooperation can cause the opponent to lose two tanks at once, then the remaining three tanks will not be able to constitute an overwhelming advantage.

Then Xiao Hong hid in the ruins on the side of the road, waiting for the three slowly approaching chariots to fall into the trap.

I have to say, those guys in the "Mechanical Development Department" actually have some taste...

Although the turrets and gun barrels of those tanks look hideously ugly from a distance, you can indeed see some of the heavy atmosphere of industrial aesthetics when you get closer.

Of course, I hope the armor of this tank is not as thick as that of the Type 6 tank...

Otherwise, I might not be able to handle it...

After a while.

The first tank caught up with Xiaohong's preset explosion point, but she did not rush to detonate the explosives. Instead, she waited until the second tank drove into the explosion point before pressing the detonation button.

Bang——Boom——

The 6-pound gun of the Crusader tank in the distance and the explosive box buried under the road exploded almost at the same time. Dense sparks like a swarm of fireflies flew around accompanied by blazing flames, and thick black smoke instantly enveloped the tank team.

Xiaohong, who was worried that the ruins would be collapsed, jumped up, raised her rifle and rushed towards the enemy next to her.

According to her idea, there would be two tanks outside that were unable to fire because of the attack, and the only remaining tank would fall into chaos due to the explosion. She could take this opportunity to beat up the infantry following behind.

But when she jumped out of the ruins, she found that among the gradually dissipating smoke and dust, only the tank in the middle was blown into a pile of burning wreckage, and the two tanks in the front and back were almost not damaged except that they were splashed with mud.

Before Xiaohong could react, the machine guns and short-barreled howitzers on the opposite tank quickly aimed at her.

Da da da--

The hot rain of bullets came at her rapidly, and the concrete fragments hit her body, causing her to feel a pain as if a blade had scraped across her body. With tears in her eyes, Xiaohong quickly shrank back into the ruins, and then ran towards the inside of the position as if escaping for her life.

It was only then that she remembered that it was no wonder that she had subconsciously let the first car go. The tactical course at Gehenna Academy was to prioritize attacking the tank in the middle when facing an armored column...

There are friendly troops in front and behind, and there is no way to escape when attacked...

She and the people from the "Riding Club" had the same idea...

Chapter 134 Broken Blade

boom--

As Xiaohong was fleeing the scene, the Crusader tank on the other side opened fire again, and one shot penetrated the side and rear armor of the tank at the end of the queue. However, judging from the opponent's rapid turning of the vehicle, it seemed to have no effect.

At this time, the tank team also realized that the "coalition" tanks were firing at them, and the coordinating infantry near the tanks immediately threw three or four smoke bombs to the side, quickly obscuring the vision of the "coalition" tanks.

However, they did not notice the drone that had been hovering in the sky.

boom--

There was another cannon shot in the distance, and a dazzling spark exploded from the machine gun turret of the rear tank. The crew members inside the tank were knocked unconscious by the armor-piercing bullet.

At this moment, they thought that the Allied tank had hit their own crew by accident and did not take it seriously. They just adjusted the position of the tank slightly and continued to search for Xiaohong attentively. However, not long after, another cannon shot was heard.

An armor-piercing bullet with an orange-red streak penetrated the side and rear armor of the tank again, and this time it seemed to hit the engine of their tank. The fierce flames quickly engulfed the rear half of the car body.

After finally realizing that the vision of the "Allied" tanks could penetrate the smoke barrier, the first tank, which was obviously panicked, quickly changed direction, stepped on the accelerator and rushed into the position on the east side which was full of ruins.

The opponent's change quickly attracted the members of the security tactical team who were active nearby. Then the girls quickly called on their companions to kill the infantrymen who had lost the protection of their tanks.

At this time, Xiaohong, who was wandering nearby, also found that there was only one tank left behind her...

Although the Crusader tank's QF 6-pound gun had a good armor-piercing effect, the fact that it could penetrate the armor at a long distance was enough to prove that the armor thickness of the opponent's multi-turret tanks was definitely not as thick as that of the Type 6 tank.

In that case, don't blame yourself for bullying it at its turtle-like pace.

Thinking of this, Xiaohong turned back towards the chariot.

However, she did not notice that, probably because they received the news that their own tanks were destroyed one after another, the two tanks on the north side and the nearby joint mercenaries also began to move south, apparently wanting to support the lone tank.

The Crusader tank, which was the first to discover the situation from the sky, immediately called Xiaohong. Unfortunately, Xiaohong was running because there were sounds of gunfire and explosions all around her and she didn't notice the ringing of the phone at all.

In desperation, the Minister of Cavalry had to report the news to Chiba, who was commanding in the center, and then stepped on the accelerator and detoured from the northwest, intending to use this lightly armored tank to help the nearby "coalition forces" attract as much firepower as possible.

While friendly forces were rushing over, Xiaohong, who had already arrived near the target, focused all her attention on the tank in front of her.

This strange-looking tank turret is distributed along a diagonal line from the right front to the left rear. In addition to the 75mm + 37mm dual-barrel turret in the middle of the vehicle body, there is a machine gun turret each at the right front and left rear.

What's more troublesome is that almost all of these turrets have observation windows, so it's probably impossible to sneak past them through the blind spots...

My thoughts just now were still a bit optimistic. The other party looked like a fire-breathing hedgehog that was impossible to defeat...

She still had a few pieces of plastic explosives on her body, but with her current physical condition, it was not realistic to throw them across dozens of meters...

However, after hesitating for a long time, Xiaohong still did not give up the idea of ​​destroying the tank.

Even if there is no way to take advantage of the tank's speed disadvantage, you can continue to use the previous method and use the blind spots in the ruins on the tank's route to carry out another targeted blast.

Even if the remaining explosives cannot destroy the tank, they should be able to blow off one of its tracks.

The danger of a tank that has lost its mobility will be greatly reduced. At that time, whether it is hiding nearby and sniping the crew members who get off the vehicle for repairs, or waiting for other companions carrying anti-armor weapons to come and destroy the vehicle, the initiative will fall into the hands of the "Coalition Forces".

Thinking of this, Xiaohong continued to lower her body and quietly touched the front of the chariot under the cover of the ruins.

After a while.

The tank that was searching for enemies ran over the plastic bomb that Xiaohong had thrown on the roadside without noticing. Seeing that the other party was cooperating so well, she unceremoniously reached out of the ruins with her left hand holding the detonator and gently pressed the safety button.

boom--

Just as she was about to press the detonator, a stream of light purple light came from behind her and hit the back of Xiaohong's hand accurately. The detonator that she was holding tightly slipped out of her hand and fell into the gap between the ruins, and could no longer be seen in a hurry.

Xiaohong, covering her left hand, turned around quickly, and saw that the two chariots that were just in the north were now about a hundred meters behind her.

The sudden appearance of the enemy immediately scared Xiaohong so much that she broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, she had just stretched her arm out of the cover, otherwise even the worst gunner could have hit her accurately at this distance.

Seeing the nearby accompanying infantrymen surrounding his position, Xiaohong quickly rolled out from behind the cover, lowered his body and ran towards the friendly forces.

However, the man behind her, the current commander of the "Mechanical Development Department" and Captain B of the "General Affairs Team" who was standing on the tank, did not seem to intend to let her go so easily. He immediately raised the bolt-action rifle with a long bayonet and fired a series of bullets at Xiaohong's back.

bang bang bang-

The bullets with light purple streamers almost formed a dense barrage, and the dense 7.7mm full-power bullets directly smashed her behind the nearby ruins.

The little red boy's eyes were almost popping out of his head after being shot twice in the back.

Are you kidding me? !

The other party is using a bolt-action rifle, right? !

Even if you modify the bolt to increase the manual reset speed, there is no way to maintain this level of accuracy, right? !

However, before she could calm her rapid breathing, a cold light struck her head.

Zheng——

The sharp sword-shaped bayonet cut a spark on the barrel of the MSG90 and cut off the optical sight on the gun.

Xiaohong, who barely managed to hold off the opponent, quickly turned the muzzle of her gun and repeatedly pulled the trigger at the smiling Captain B.

Da da--

Two hot bullets pierced through the other person's loose skirt and sleeves. Then the girl with her skirt flying kicked away the sniper rifle in Xiaohong's hand and stabbed the sharp tip of the knife into her head again.

At the critical moment, Xiaohong dropped the gun and kicked back, kicking the wrist of the opponent holding the gun. The tip of the knife immediately brushed her forehead and moved up, and the hair that touched the blade was quickly cut into two pieces.

Seeing that his counterattack was successful, Xiaohong quickly took out his MK23 from the quick-draw holster and pointed the muzzle at the opponent's chest and abdomen area exposed to him.

Before she could pull the trigger, the butt of the gun in the opponent's hand suddenly turned around and hit her pistol. Her right hand, which had no strength to begin with, directly threw the heavy MK23 out.

Without having time to complain about her Gun of Freedom in her heart, Xiaohong quickly raised her left hand, grabbed the butt of the gun that was falling down, and then subconsciously flew up and raised her leg to twist the opponent's slender neck.

However, before she could use the signature move she learned from Xiaocha, the opponent suddenly let go of the rifle, and Xiaohong, who was using the momentum to kick, fell directly onto the pile of rubble below her.

Before she could get up again, the other party rushed at her again with the bayonet removed from the muzzle of the gun.

Xiaohong subconsciously wanted to raise the snatched rifle to block the bayonet, but she felt her hands go limp and the smooth and heavy gun body slipped from her fingertips. She could only watch as the opponent's knife tip poked towards her head.

Da da da--

Just when the opponent was about to succeed, a series of dense 9mm steel core bullets knocked down the bayonet of Company Captain B. Then Xiaocha, who ran over quickly, raised his round-toed leather shoes and kicked the opponent's face.

Unfortunately, the captain of Company B, whose attack was interrupted, seemed to have noticed Xiaocha rushing over. As she flew over and kicked, he pressed down the muzzle of the Lee-Enfield rifle on Xiaohong's body with his left hand. As the more than one-meter-long rifle flipped quickly, the heavy wooden buttstock hit Xiaocha's stomach straight away.

Xiaocha, who was only about 1.5 meters tall, obviously did not have legs as long as his minister. In addition, due to the long battle, his concentration was not as sharp as usual. As a result, before he could kick the opponent in the face, he was hit in the stomach by the butt of the gun that suddenly appeared.

The huge impact force seemed to cause muscle spasm. Xiaocha felt his abdomen twitching and his knees went weak, and he collapsed beside Xiaohong.

Seeing her comrades being hit hard, the quick-eyed and quick-handed commander on the front line quickly grabbed the MP5K submachine gun at her waist and emptied the seven or eight remaining bullets in the magazine towards the company commander B on the opposite side.

Captain B, who had never expected the opponent to have such a trick, was instantly hit by the hot steel core bullet and cried out in pain. Then she quickly twisted her waist and turned around, and the red hem of her lower body fluttered like a bindweed. While hiding her figure, she picked up her rifle and retreated, quickly hiding behind the tank whose tracks were almost blown off by Xiaohong.

At this moment, the tank seemed to be seeking revenge for its own tank that was blown up by Xiaohong. It had no intention of firing and just kept rolling towards her and Xiaocha.
