Kivotos Warlord Development Manual

Under the standing artillery, a group of students wearing various Gehenna uniforms gathered together, gnawing on biscuit sticks like squirrels at a dinner party, making a series of fine crunching sounds.

At this time, Li, who was sitting between Xingjiang and Xuefeng, took out a list from her pocket and reported quickly.

"All coalition forces on the eastern battlefield have assembled, with a total of 96 people in place, including 38 from the "Fishing Department", 32 from the "Folklore Investigation Department", and 26 from the "War Research Department". All members are present."

"The artillery positions and field hospitals have also been deployed. All members of the eastern coalition have entered standby mode. Command will now be handed over to Commander-in-Chief Jiang Shangxukaze."

After hearing Li's report, the leader of the "Folk Customs Research Department", who was scraping cookie crumbs into the lunch box between his knees with a knife, also joined in the conversation.

"Our Minister and Deputy Minister have already driven the suicide ship to the designated position upstream, but they can only go out after we occupy the bunker on the east bank. Otherwise, it will be easily destroyed in the canal by the riverside troops of the "Mechanical Development Department."

After nodding slightly, Xuefeng looked at Naoko who was silently chewing on a biscuit stick, and finally helplessly pushed the fisherman's hat that Xingjiang gave her to protect her from insects and dew.

Naoko, a straightforward girl, is really shy...

I am a very enthusiastic chatterbox when I am with my own people, but I don't want to say a word when there are strangers around...

never mind...

There is nothing you can do about personality, as long as she is happy...

After sighing a few words in his heart, Xuefeng's face straightened and he began to assign the next combat tasks.

"Well, I already know everything."

"Then let the students from the 'Fishing Club' lead the anti-tank guns and mortar teams in the back to provide support fire."

"By the way, you will also be responsible for assisting and protecting the field hospital set up by the folklore research department students."

"Well... leave it to us!"

Xingjiang, who was sipping milk, saluted cutely and accepted the task of standing behind as punishment without hesitation.

"Well, Li, you should stay and organize the students of the "Fishing Club" to protect the rear positions, but when the front line needs you, you will also join the battle as a reserve team."

"No problem, leave the Minister's safety to me!"

Li nodded firmly, and Xuefeng glanced at her with disgust.

"The key is to protect the artillery positions and the field hospital. If these two important places are lost, I will kidnap Xingjiang to the "War Research Department". Don't even ask her to take you fishing in the future. I won't even let you look at it again."

"No problem. I will protect you all even if it costs my life!"

After hearing Xuefeng's threat, Li's eyes suddenly lit up with the determination to be ready to die at any time.

"You don't have to go to that extent. Just do your best..."

After explaining the affairs of the rear position, Xuefeng turned to look at the leader of the "Folk Customs Investigation Department" on the other side.

"Except for the students in charge of rescue work in the Folklore Research Department, the rest of the team will form an offensive force together with the War Research Department to launch a direct assault on the position of the Mechanical Development Department."

Xuefeng paused slightly here, and continued to make arrangements after seeing the other party nodded in agreement without hesitation.

"Well, later Naoko will divide all the students participating in the attack into two mixed combat teams, A/B."

"I will lead Team A to launch a frontal attack and be responsible for attracting the enemy's firepower, while Naoko will lead Team B to provide supporting firepower from the side."

"After Group A reaches their position, Group B will launch a breakthrough attack on the side position. Group A will then provide supporting firepower. Then we will continue to advance in this state, supporting each other."

"How about it, do you understand this tactic?"

Seeing the inquiring look from the commander-in-chief, the leader of the folklore department opposite him, who had dressed himself like a jungle warrior, nodded with an expression of admiration on his face.

"As expected of the head of the War Research Department, who is known as a master of tactics, we are also familiar with the leap tactics of Trinity Academy. There will be no problem at all!"

Xuefeng couldn't help scratching her head at this unprovoked compliment. She just subconsciously thought of this tactic when she saw that there were not many people on her side. How did it become the characteristic playing style of Holy Trinity Academy...

According to her habit, the trident-style push and crush tactics of attacking from both sides and breaking through the middle is the best choice.

It’s a pity that the “Coalition” does not have a mature tactical command system like the “Paradise”, and there are not as many combatants on the eastern battlefield as on other battlefields. There is absolutely no room for Miss Commander-in-Chief, the master of micro-control in RTS games, to show off her skills.

Rumbling--

Just as she was secretly regretting, a series of explosions suddenly rose from the southwest.

Click——

Miss Xuefeng, who was sitting in the middle of the crowd, stretched out two fingers to hook the bolt handle and gently loaded the gun, then nodded slightly to the other girls around her.

"The main battlefield in the south has already launched an attack. Let's get ready. We will also launch an attack in 15 minutes!"

"Yes!"

……

The view first turns to the south side of the refinery.

Compared with the narrow battlefields on the northeast side, the wide southern battlefield can deploy and deploy almost more troops than the other two battlefields combined.

At this moment, the positions and bunkers built by the "Hot Spring Development Department" have been stuck in the attack route of the coalition forces on the south side, and on the fortress-like high wall behind the positions, many windows have been piled with sandbag bunkers and shooting holes.

Under this carefully designed firepower deployment, the towering walls and the blocking positions in the front rely on each other, covering the entire battlefield in a three-dimensional firepower projection range.

However, the "coalition" was not without countermeasures. The girls of the "Riding Department" who had long guessed that they would defend the refinery spent a large amount of club funds and gritted their teeth to introduce a batch of six-barreled rocket launchers that had just been retired from the "Palace of Demons".

At this time, these honeycomb-shaped towed rocket launchers were madly spewing flames and thick smoke behind the "coalition"'s ground positions, and smashed 150mm rockets with white smoke trails onto the opposite positions.

The dense artillery shells and wide defense area compensated for the poor accuracy of rocket launchers to a certain extent. Almost all the shells were concentrated on the positions and the fortress-like walls behind them.

The moment those high-speed shells hit the trenches and bunkers, violent explosions raised large clouds of black smoke and mud. Some black market thugs who had never seen large-scale artillery tactics were still marveling at the spectacular sight of a meteor shower across the sky, and the next second they were sent into the sky by the fierce flames and air waves.

After they had been bombarding for about ten minutes, all the rocket launchers fired a round of smoke bombs at the same time, and the thick white smoke immediately obscured a large area of ​​the battlefield and positions.

Upon seeing this, the girls from the "Mechanical Development Department" on the opposite side immediately launched more than a dozen unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, seemingly intending to use this method to closely observe the attacking force's route and position. However, they were quickly shot down one by one by the well-prepared Allied snipers.

As for the importance of seizing air supremacy, the gray-haired girl, who witnessed with her own eyes how her elder sister attacked the Millennium Academy, has a deep understanding of this.

When the artillery support stopped, Iroha, who was sitting in Marder III, tugged at her maid skirt with a sad face, and then ordered all the six-barreled rocket launchers that were already mounted on tractors to move to the next artillery position, and then drove the Marder III slowly to follow.

After getting used to driving a 70 km/h high-speed vehicle, it's a bit hard to adapt to driving a slow-moving vehicle at 20-30 km/h...

Sigh... It's been N days since Usagi was away... I miss her...

At this time, the gray-haired boy standing on the hillside at the back gently covered his ears, and after hearing the shrill wails and shouts coming from the black market thugs in the distant positions, he smiled with satisfaction and gave a thumbs up to the girls from the "Riding Department" around him.

Then Qianjiang took out the grenade launcher that Xuefeng gave her from the holster on her waist, and fired a red flare into the sky without hesitation.

As the red flare trailing a smoke trail quickly streaked across the sky, the southern coalition forces, having confirmed the attack signal, also slowly moved.

At the foot of the hill, more than a dozen armed vehicles equipped with heavy armor plates moved forward in unison, and the attackers assembled behind the vehicles quickly put on gas masks and followed closely behind the vehicles as they rushed into the smoke area of ​​the battlefield.

Whoosh——

At the same time as the "coalition forces" began their attack, a series of mortars and howitzers with sharp whistles also landed accurately on the rocket launcher position where they had just been. Qianjiang, who had now moved to the command vehicle, felt the constant vibration coming from behind her, and a disdainful expression appeared on her little face.

The "Mechanical Development Department" used a textbook artillery counterattack tactic.

But that's all.

The gray-haired boy turned his head proudly and looked at the liaison officer beside him, with a cruel smile on his lips.

"Have our observers on the top of the mountain confirmed the artillery positions of the Mechanical Development Department?"

"Observers have confirmed the three indirect fire artillery positions deployed by the enemy inside the refinery. The specific coordinates are being recorded!"

"Humph, I knew that those guys whose brains are full of gears and engine oil are not so honest. Since they dare to pull out the goods of "Paradise" to fight, don't blame us for destroying the assets of the school!"

"Notify the self-destruct drones to prepare for entry. We'll take out those howitzer groups first!"

"Oh, remember to mark it down in the post-battle summary. This is the consequence of setting up an artillery position in a narrow area with exposed vision. Let those guys in our society who are eager to push the artillery to the front of the line learn a lesson from this."

"Yes!"

The excited liaison officer immediately took out his cell phone to notify his companions operating the drone to prepare for action. However, when he saw his own members issuing orders in such a cheap way in the command vehicle filled with technological equipment, Qianjiang, who had just been so arrogant that he put his hands on his hips, suddenly lost interest.

It is really troublesome to not have an efficient command center in modern warfare. Although this kind of club war within the academy has no impact, if we encounter an enemy like the Millennium Academy who is good at using high-tech means, once the signal interference is turned on, we can't even guarantee communication...

Perhaps we should find time to discuss with Millennium Academy and purchase a useful command system for the "War Research Department"...

Otherwise, the "Riding Department" uses such high-end equipment to broadcast the competition, and it would be too embarrassing for us to have to make a phone call when we are a little far away...

But the people in the "Riding Club" are really rich. I really envy these guys who like to raise horses...

Just when Qianjiang was lost in thought, the prodigal... no... the head of the "Riding Club" next to her looked at her with a puzzled look on his face.

"Um, are we going to use the important trump card specially prepared by the War Research Department now?"

The gray-haired boy, whose thoughts were interrupted, nodded and a wicked smile appeared on his face.

"That's right. Since the other party has exposed his trump card, we must eliminate this serious threat as soon as possible."

"They are too impatient. If it were me, I would wait until the positional battle outside was at a disadvantage, and then use the howitzers to directly send those failed black market thugs and the attacking "coalition forces" into the sky."

Seeing the gray-haired boy in such a scary look, the riding minister shuddered subconsciously and asked back with a confused look on his face.

"Is there such a cruel trick in our academy's defensive tactics..."

"Ah... I learned this from my elder sister..."

"You should be thankful that you didn't meet her on the battlefield. If it was my sister, we would probably have directly fired artillery at each other's heads at the first moment of the melee."

When Xuefeng was mentioned, Qianjiang immediately puffed out his weak chest with pride.

At this time, a member of the "Riding Club" nearby came over and whispered in their leader's ear.

"Commander Chiba is right. Minister Xuefeng really used this trick in the recent suppression operation..."

"According to the news spread by those suppressed problem students afterwards, Minister Xuefeng, as the commander, seemed to have installed an artillery locator on herself, so wherever she ran, the artillery would cover her, directly causing extremely terrifying killing effects on those troubled problem students..."

"Isn't this reckless? Isn't she afraid of hurting herself or accidentally hurting other friendly soldiers?!"

"It is said that no friendly force could catch up with her breakthrough speed, so the artillery kept hitting the enemy's head. I heard that in that battle, the friendly forces behind Minister Xuefeng even had their gun barrels red..."

"Uh... what does the red barrel mean..."

"It means that the enemy can no longer launch an effective counterattack, so they just need to rush forward and shoot wildly at the fleeing enemies."

"Yes, this is the infantry and artillery rapid attack tactic that our "War Research Department" is best at! ~"

"Ahem... Although we still often fire shells at our own attacking troops, and we are not as good at hiding and moving quickly as my sister's private artillery unit, it definitely does not mean that this super powerful tactic cannot be replicated!"

"Ah... I just feel so lucky to have the artillery unit under the command of the Pandemonium..."

"Haha, Iroha is one of ours, and she's the war maniac that my sister and I are looking forward to the most. Speaking of which, the "War Research Department" is completely inseparable from her help to achieve what it is today! ~"

"what?!"

While they were happily conversing, a series of red streams of light slid down from the sky, followed by a series of rumbling artillery sounds coming from the battlefield on the east.

"See? My sister has also started to attack. We can't fall too far behind."

"Liaison officer, urge the rocket artillery unit to complete the next round of artillery support as soon as possible. When the "Mechanical Development Department" launches retaliatory shooting again, it will be time for them to say goodbye to those howitzer groups! ~"

"Yes!"

Chapter 106 Lightning Counterattack

East side of Tiehuishan battlefield.

The "coalition" offensive front.

At the same time that the eastern position of the "Mechanical Development Department" was covered by 105mm howitzers, Xuefeng, who was waiting behind the bushes, took the lead and rushed out with an automatic rifle, and the girls of the "Coalition" behind her also hurriedly chased after her back and launched a charge.

The gunners on the battlefield who had been hit by a round of artillery fire hurriedly adjusted their guns after seeing the target suddenly appear. However, the commander-in-chief, who had activated the "focus moment" while running, had already pulled the trigger.

bang bang bang-

A series of burning bullets escaped from the narrow birdcage-shaped flash suppressor, and the machine gun positions on the opposite side that had just spewed out a flash of flame instantly fell silent.

After quickly killing the first wave of enemies who reacted, Xuefeng successfully closed the distance between them and displayed fierce offensiveness and shooting accuracy.

With the help of "optical vision", she could hit the coins falling from the sky within a hundred meters without aiming, so the black market thugs who hid behind the cover and tried to fight back were like encountering a forced whack-a-mole game.

Every time the muzzle of the blonde girl's gun flashed, one of our comrades would be shot in the head and fall to the ground. Moreover, the opponent's damage ability was terribly high. All those who were shot and fell to the ground fainted without a sound, without even a chance to scream.

After Xuefeng emptied two 2-round magazines and fired several rounds of 20mm howitzers, the black market thugs stationed in the front position were almost defeated.

Seeing that their commander-in-chief had demonstrated such a powerful suppressive ability, the girls of the nearby coalition forces simply gave up firing, and while the enemy's firepower was suppressed, they chased Xuefeng at full speed and quickly rushed to the edge of the opposite position.
