Speaking of which, Jorgensen followed the illumination flares and vaguely saw a few tall figures standing at the edge of the forest. He didn't know who they were, but at that moment, his heart turned cold...

Unstoppable!

Originally, Jorgensen thought that with these trenches and over six hundred soldiers, no matter how fierce the enemy's firepower was, they could at least hold out for 8 to 12 hours...

But the sudden storm deprived him of satellite reconnaissance information and also made him miss the opportunity to push the defensive line outward.

Just as the machine gunners within the village opened fire, those deadly whistling sounds appeared once again...

"Boom, boom, boom, boom..."

Twenty mortar vehicles unleashed another wave of three consecutive shots, with 60 shells bombarding the surroundings of the trenches in waves...

The high-explosive shells emitted massive shockwaves, and the substandard trenches dug by the Island Nation couldn't provide complete protection. As the explosions rang out, those Island Nation soldiers who could still hold on in the trenches cried out in agony as they leapt out, trying to retreat to the village...

But what greeted them was a wave of airburst shells...

The explosions of shells in mid-air were like reaping wheat, blasting a dozen soldiers to the ground silently, followed by another wave of high-explosive shells...

"Boom, boom, boom, boom..."

As the mortar attacks continued, the anteaters on the grassland began to accelerate...

With the enemy in the village firing, a barrage of bullets crossed about 500 meters to rain down on the anteaters on the grassland...

At the same time, the heavy machine guns and gun grenade launchers on the Talus transport vehicles opened fire...

Clearly, the enemies' night vision equipment was insufficient, so their bullets were not very accurate. However, the sheer volume compensated for the lack of precision, and the dense rain of bullets still caused the anteaters some trouble...

A machine gun bullet hit the edge of the front protective armor of a transport vehicle, unexpectedly ricocheting...

The ricochet grazed a young anteater's cheek, tearing away a significant piece of flesh, revealing a terrifying dental bed.

The young anteater grunted but continued to follow the vehicle's cover forward as if unfazed...

His captain noticed the situation and loudly roared for him to retreat and tend to his wound...

Amidst the fierce firefight, the young anteater turned his head with a frightening grin, then pulled the trigger of the RPK-16 in his hands... 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

The captain lowered his head into the medical bag, pulled out some clotting spray and a large band-aid, crudely treated the subordinate's injury, then forcefully pounded on the transport vehicle...

"Spearhead missile, fire..."

The moment the anteaters suppressed the firepower points in the village, dozens of Spearhead missiles launched from the vehicle towards the firepower points in the village...

With a series of explosions, the firepower in the village was significantly weakened...

Just as the anteaters prepared to accelerate, the characteristic whistling sound of mortars appeared from the east sky...

"Attention, 60mm mortars..."

On the frontline, the radar in the woods detected the trajectory of the mortars, then a series of Spearhead missiles shot up into the sky, exploding along the descending path of the shells...

Two 60mm mortar rounds made it through the interception net of the Spearhead missiles and fell to the ground, with one creating a shallow pit, and fragments from this explosion just happened to jam the tracks of a transport vehicle...

As an anteater bent over to carry out repairs, an RPG fired by an Island Nation soldier in the trenches struck the frontal armor of the transport vehicle...

The blast shock knocked several soldiers behind the armor to the ground, dizzy and unable to stand...

Just as a soldier carrying a Javelin stood up from the trench, a large-caliber bullet struck his shoulder...

The Javelin fell into the trench along with the slumped shoulder...

As another Island Nation soldier ran over to pick up the Javelin and continue the attack, another large-caliber bullet flew in...

This time the bullet hit the Island Nation soldier's head...

The bullet entered through the soldier's cheekbone, its massive kinetic energy blowing away half of the soldier's skull.

The soldier carrying the Javelin, with a remaining eye nervously twitching, then launched the Javelin missile into the sky...

Bullhorn observed the combat situation near the trench, pressed the communicator, and shouted, "Well done, Water Ghost, at two o'clock, another one..."

As Bullhorn confirmed that Water Ghost had succeeded again, he loudly ordered his teammates to reposition while shouting into the communicator, "Find a way to destroy the mortar positions over at the chemical plant..."

During the intense battle, several flashes appeared in the sky...

Eight Blue Sword Missiles headed towards the chemical plant, resulting in a series of explosions.

Subsequently, another anteater company appeared on the outskirts of the chemical plant, launching a synchronized attack...

Meanwhile, the Long Arrow Camp company in the distance opened fire once again. After three rounds of covering airburst shells, they extended the bombardment into the village, initiating ceaseless explosions...

This level of attack intensity was something the Island Nation soldiers had never experienced...

Since the battle began, their casualties hadn't exceeded 150, but these Island Nation soldiers were utterly stunned.

Primal fear swept over their souls; their fervor for their leader kept them from retreating, but their actions were erratic, and command was utterly chaotic.

Jorgensen tried several times to organize these people, but quickly realized these Island Nation soldiers were utterly unresponsive at this point...

"Calu, these Island Nation soldiers can't hold out at all. Establish echelon cover, deploy Broad Sword mines, notify our forces to retreat north..."

In the village, Calu heard the order and shouted to his mates to charge out of the building, using the village's structures for cover as they sprinted north...

As he reached the northernmost building on the outskirts of the village, a flash of lightning suddenly appeared in the sky...

The flash illuminated a slope of grassland to the north, and then he saw a scene he would never forget...

Nearly 200 soldiers, like ghosts, charged down the slope in skirmish formation...

Those Island Nation soldiers who were supposed to hold the trenches were distracted by the fight to the south, and by the time they realized what was happening, two ghost-like big cats reached the forefront, launching 12 white phosphorus smoke bombs, each the size of a soda can...

"Boom, boom, boom..."

After several bangs, a thick and pungent smoke engulfed the trenches...

Calu watched those gas mask-wearing soldiers silently jump into the trench, which was quickly followed by terrifying screams. He hastily pressed the radio, yelling, "Boss, there are enemies to the north as well..."

Joe Ga looked at the fierce battles ahead, his expression cold as he pressed the communicator and said, "We are on the clock. Kill them all, leave no one alive!"

As Joe Ga spoke, the Winged Dragon drone patrolling in the sky was shot down...

...

Southeast of Gotland, the Night Tiger Squad used massive reefs for cover, watching the distant, pitch-black surface of the sea...

Grasshopper stared at the drone feed, yelling, "The enemy fleet has entered the combat zone...

Two Littoral Combat Ships, one Amphibious Assault Ship, and many landing crafts...

Activate anti-ship missiles, activate anti-ship missiles...

Lion Camp, Long Arrow Camp, prepare your artillery, prepare..."
