Chapter 1 Late Night Attack

It was 9:47 PM. The Blackwater infiltration force, disguised as the War Hammer First Army, engaged in a frontal firefight with the enemy forces entrenched at the Taguo harbor entrance.

The troop strength comparison at this moment was: 3000:600.

On the War Hammer Mercenary Group side, including the logistics support units, there were about three thousand people who could fight with guns, and they occupied a defensive position with terrain advantages. The Blackwater raiding force that had infiltrated numbered only six hundred!

Why so few? Was it impossible to infiltrate more?

Not entirely. The main reason Taguo only sent six hundred people to raid Taguo was fear of exposure. Both sides had already lined up their forces, and with modern military reconnaissance equipment, the possibility of mobilizing a large number of troops without being detected was too low.

So the number of people had to be small, with strong mobility and easy concealment.

Considering the above reasons, Taguo only mobilized six hundred people to raid Taguo, and only arranged helicopter groups and speedboat teams for assistance on the periphery.

This was why the commander of the War Hammer Mercenary Group did not notice any unusual movements from the Blackwater Legion and even suspected that these people were sent by the Chi Army. From their perspective, Taguo had no one available, and the main force had not moved at all.

If five thousand troops were suddenly moved from a force of eighteen thousand, even an idiot would realize something was wrong. But secretly gathering units of less than a hundred people from each regiment in the mountains significantly reduced the possibility of exposure.

No matter how advanced your reconnaissance equipment is, you can't fly into someone's tent and observe them face-to-face, right?

…

The battle began.

The six hundred members of the Blackwater Legion quickly eliminated the enemy forces entrenched at the entrance of Taguo and directly raided the enemy's rear logistics camp.

In Panama City, inside Bernardo Castle, Taguo watched the battle map with his hands behind his back, his expression calm.

"Legion Commander, the assault battalion has taken out the first sentry post and is currently approaching the southern side of Taguo, less than three kilometers from the logistics camp," a staff officer reported.

Taguo slowly picked up his coffee cup, staring at the electronic map and said, "They're moving too fast. If the War Hammer's pig commanders realize that Taguo is beyond saving, there will be no point in rapid support. Divide the forces. Tell our warriors, three hundred to attack, three hundred to stay in place, make it look like it's difficult to break through, and quickly turn Taguo into a red danger zone."

"Yes, Legion Commander!"

"...!" Taguo took a sip of coffee, reached for the command microphone, and softly called out, "Kopson."

"Reporting, Legion Commander, my helicopter group has already taken off!"

"Kopson, don't be so stingy. Any expensive military equipment is for war and for people. If the helicopter group is gone, we can build another one. Our military treasury is very rich. You don't need to be thrifty, and you don't need to have your planes fly at ten thousand meters before firing. We need overwhelming aerial firepower."

"Of course, Legion Commander!"

"I'll buy you the best coffee when you get back." Taguo put down his headset, frowning as he continued to stare at the electronic map.

Along the inner side of the canal, the commander of the Grizzly Corps gnashed his teeth and roared, "Low-altitude attack! Warriors, rush into the enemy's air defense zone like locusts! Every warplane should exert its due power! Even if it explodes, it should be within the enemy's defense zone!"

The iron order was given.

The helicopter group began to fly at extremely low altitudes, the huge propellers spinning in unison, stirring up the surface of the sea into rippling waves.

In just over thirty seconds, the helicopter group skimmed across the water and reached the Taguo harbor entrance.

More than forty armed helicopters were equipped with hundreds of rotary machine guns and three hundred and twenty airborne rocket launchers.

What kind of concentrated firepower was this?!

More than three hundred and twenty rocket launchers were enough to level a small hillside.

"Da da…!"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh…!"

One air-to-ground missile after another, dragging a dense network of fire, indiscriminately covered the Taguo landing base. The tens of thousands of square meters of the camp below instantly turned into a sea of fire.

As the helicopter group swept across the sky, rocket artillery groups hidden in the surrounding dense forests, with a range of up to thirty kilometers, also began to pour shells in this direction.

In less than five minutes of engagement, the logistics base at the Taguo harbor entrance had been riddled with holes.

From a practical point of view, Taguo's troops had a much higher level of execution than the War Hammer Mercenary Group and had an absolute advantage in weapons and equipment.

Panama City was too rich! The income from a canal line had already exceeded the total income of many European quasi-regions, and their military units also followed an absolute elite route. With high military spending spread over eighteen thousand people, what kind of equipment would they buy?!

The Chi Army might have one dollar to be split among five people, but they were giving one person the military expenses of five people. How could they compare???

…

Inside the War Hammer Mercenary Group's forward command center, the white commander, Rumeini, stared at the real-time battlefield feedback images in disbelief, witnessing the Taguo area turn from a green label to a red code.

Red zone!

This feedback signal indicated that the command center in the Taguo area had been destroyed and was currently on the verge of falling.

"Worthless!"

Rumeini, wearing a white military uniform shirt, roared with his hands on his hips, "Heavens! A logistics base with more than three thousand people, the command center was destroyed in less than five minutes of engagement. This is a flock of sheep! The military commander should go to Australia to develop animal husbandry, not join the army!"

"General…!"

"Order the Second Army's entrenched units along the way to immediately reinforce the Taguo area." Rumeini's blue eyes turned red with anger, "Gentlemen, that's our dining table. If we lose Taguo, we'll only be eating shit tomorrow!"

The order was given, and the War Hammer troops outside Panama City began to reinforce Taguo in an orderly manner, with various mechanized battalions and tank regiments mobilized.

…

Half an hour later, at the Sri Lanka Chi Army base.

Su Tianyu and a large group of people sat in the conference room, drinking tea and enjoying the air conditioning, watching a grand war drama.

"Latest battle situation, Taguo is red!" Xin Xiaodong put down the phone and said, "The War Hammer's Second Army, with three combat regiments, has already rushed to the harbor entrance for reinforcement."

"How many people are in their three regiments?" Su Tianyu turned his head and asked.

"About four to five thousand people."

"How many people did Blackwater send to raid Taguo?" Su Tianyu asked again.

Xin Xiaodong paused for a moment and replied, "We don't know the exact number, but it shouldn't be too many, maybe a little over a thousand troops?"

"A little over a thousand mobilized more than five thousand people?!" Su Tianyu frowned, a bad feeling rising in his heart.

"Hehe!"

Chief of Staff Wu sat on the sofa, looking at Su Tianyu with a slightly mocking smile.
