Chapter 1349: Bloody Battle with Sumoer
On the eastern border of the Western French Empire, there is a mountain city called Sumer.
The city is the only high ground nearby.
It is also a choke point.
And Giovanni seemed to realize that the three kingdoms in the east were not peaceful, so he personally set up his command post in the mountain city of Sumer.
However, it turned out that Giovadini's instinct was right.
The three kingdoms really took action...
That night, the border post was attacked.
More than 100 mercenary soldiers died on the border defense line.
But their sacrifice succeeded in sounding the alarm.
This allowed Giovadini to mobilize his troops in time.
There are only more than 4 mercenaries still remaining in the Western French Empire.
Giovanni sent 5 soldiers north to suppress Amaral's rebellion.
And more than 3 of them are currently scattered in various important cities within the Western French Empire.
The total number of troops defending Sumer was less than 8000.
Soon, Giovadini figured out the enemy's number through the Air Force's unmanned reconnaissance aircraft.
A conservative estimate is that there are more than 4 people, and they have a large number of armored vehicles. From the appearance, these vehicles appear to be weapons and equipment of the Papal States.
When Giovadini learned the news, he became extremely solemn.
Forty or fifty thousand people do not have much impact, but what really makes it difficult for you, Jowardi, is that they actually have weapons and equipment from the Papal States.
How can this be?
If this army is combat-ready, they have been training for at least more than three months.
But the problem is that three months ago, the Papal States was still stepping up preparations for war, and their domestic weapons and equipment were not enough to supply the country's elite troops. How could they appear here?
And it was given to the three major kingdoms, not the Western French Empire.
Now it was Giovadinimon's turn.
But despite being shocked, Giovadini did not hesitate at all and immediately called the North Wind Port Military Base as the legion commander.
Request the military base commander to send fighter jets for support.
At first, the commander planned to stay in the base and wait for the rebellion to end.
But Giovadini's call broke the silence, and the commander knew he could no longer sit idly by.
Maybe he can keep his position with this military achievement, or at worst, his merits and demerits can offset each other and he can stay in the army.
The commander immediately dispatched all the fighter jets in the military base to provide air support.
And this time, Giovadini wasn't even asked for royalties.
Fighter jets take off as if they are free.
In just 10 minutes, more than 6 fighter jets took off from the six runways of the North Wind Port military aircraft carrier.
On average, one plane takes off every little over one minute.
Amaral, who was hiding in the Governor's Palace in North Wind Port, heard the sound of fighter jets taking off and thought they were coming to destroy him.
But soon he discovered that these fighter planes were all flying south.
This made Amaralus feel relieved.
It seems that he is not here to find me...
Leopold naturally knew that the Wehrmacht had strong air support.
So he ordered to capture Sumer as quickly as possible and capture Giovadini alive.
As long as they captured Giovadini alive, they would have the capital to negotiate with Dayan.
The air force is on the way, and now Giovadini only needs to withstand the attack of 5 people and defend Sumer.
But it is not an easy task to stop 8000 people with only 5 soldiers.
What's more, the mercenaries don't have enough heavy firepower...
Due to the special terrain of Sumer, Giovadini did not move a large number of heavy weapons to Sumer.
Because it is difficult to get heavy vehicles onto this high ground.
The same question troubled Leopold.
The M1 Abrams did not succeed in climbing up, but some infantry fighting vehicles and armored vehicles successfully reached the halfway point of the mountain.
Some companies chose flatter terrain and drove their infantry fighting vehicles and armored vehicles directly up.
But the heavy Abrams could only wait quietly below the plateau.
Although there was no support from heavy tanks, the coalition forces of the three major kingdoms did not have enough infantry fighting vehicles.
They soon approached Sumer, who was within their grasp.
In their eyes, mercenaries without heavy weapons are just a piece of fat meat.
After nearly three months of training, the soldiers of this coalition force now understand how to fight the war.
Although they lacked the baptism of real war, they already knew how to fight.
What is missing is the real baptism of war...
Although Leopold learned advanced knowledge, there were some habits he could not change.
In the East Continent, where generals were lined up for execution 10 years ago, there are very few generals like Leopold who can change their minds quickly.
Even such a general could not change his past thoughts.
I still believe that cannons are the truth.
So in the battle to attack Sumer, Leopold concentrated a large number of artillery for long-range attacks.
Trying to blow open the city gate of Sumer with artillery.
But the problem was that Giovadini had long guessed that Leopold would use his firepower advantage to attack.
So he evacuated all the people in the city early on.
At the same time, the troops were deployed to the nearby mountains, most likely to delay time.
He led an elite force of 1000 men to guard the center of Sumur city.
Used as bait to attract the coalition forces of the three countries to enter.
Once you enter the city, it's like throwing meat buns at a dog, there's no way back.
What really made the mercenaries famous was not their recklessness, but their classic infantry battles and street fights.
The mercenaries knew they had no heavy firepower, so they began to work hard on their light infantry skills.
Even the most elite guards were unable to gain an advantage in fierce battles and street fights.
The Ao Zhan and street fighting skills of both sides are not much different.
Leopold looked at the small town in front of him and was determined to take it.
And those soldiers initially thought that this small town was vulnerable...
But soon, they regretted it...
After 15 minutes of shelling, Leopold suddenly remembered that the mercenaries seemed to have air force reinforcements.
Without any hesitation, he then ordered his men to immediately enter Sumer and prepare for a fierce battle.
After receiving the order, the soldiers of the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces rushed forward screaming.
Because Leopold promised them at the beginning of the war that if they could kill a mercenary soldier, they would receive a reward of one gold coin.
This is a gold coin! The salary of the soldiers of the Three Kingdoms Alliance is the best in their country's army.
The monthly military salary was as high as 6 silver coins.
And it also includes food and housing.
He is the most unrivaled one in the entire Eastern Continent.
The high military pay naturally made the soldiers work very hard, and the bounty of one gold coin had already made them lose their ability to think.
But when they rushed into Sumer, they finally understood who the real king was...
