Chapter 155: Guerrilla Warfare

~7 min read 1,355 words

Facing the Shawute Stan government army with numerical superiority, the Ankra resistance organization naturally adopted guerrilla tactics as usual.

Large-scale battles on the border were on the verge of breaking out, and both sides basically put all their family property on the line.

After all, Shawute Stan is eager to recover the lost territory, coupled with the support of the Eagle behind it, naturally it looks like it is not afraid of losing.

And the Ankra resistance organization has seen the hope of regional independence, so naturally it will not be captured without a fight.

As a front-line commander, in order to better command the troops, Li Boyong simply upgraded his commander skill.

His previous commander skill was at the second lieutenant level, and later, due to various reasons, he had not carried out subsequent upgrades.

And his highest historical military rank was captain, so he used the points remaining from the Gundam 00 world plus the points credited from previous tasks to upgrade the commander skill to the corresponding level of captain.

In an instant, his tactical application of various scales and branches became handy, and this large-scale regional conflict became his stage.

He personally led the militia main force equipped with the AS team to contain the Shawute Stan army that was advancing.

In two small-scale battles, the AS team concentratedly used by the resistance organization caused some casualties to the Shawute army, and Shihe piloted the M6 with the blessing of the SEED ability to destroy three enemy M6s alone, greatly boosting morale.

This forced the Shawute army to also adopt the tactic of concentrated use of AS to counter, barely curbing the decline of the central troops.

At this time, the remaining guerrilla teams began to harass the two wings of the Shawute army; these guerrilla teams were veterans who survived years of disputes and basically met the tactical requirements of hitting and running under the advantage of the home field.

The two-wing troops that had their AS transferred away were miserable; in order to deal with the annoying harassment, they had to move forward carefully, although they reduced the probability of being successfully ambushed, they also brought some casualties to the guerrilla teams, but they gradually became disconnected from the central troops.

This gave Li Boyong an excellent opportunity. One night, Shihe listened to Li Boyong's command and led an AS squad to launch a night raid on the Shawute army's right wing, successfully destroying an artillery position and burning quite a bit of Shawute army supplies.

When the Shawute army reacted and sent an AS team to reinforce, because the distance of the troop disconnection became farther, they could not capture the traces of the Shihe team and could only scold or sigh at the supply wreckage.

The next day, the Shawute army's central troops waited for the AS team to return and intended to take advantage of the dispersion of Li Boyong's AS team to actively look for combat opportunities.

But Li Boyong had expected this long ago and avoided the Shawute army's main force from afar.

According to his understanding, the essence of guerrilla warfare is to exchange space for an advantageous damage ratio when at a disadvantage, and then launch a decisive annihilation battle when the balance of power changes.

Now it is still necessary to endure.

But the Shawute army couldn't endure it; as a reprisal, a village was ruthlessly burned.

That night, Shihe, who learned the news, appeared a bit depressed.

After all, the massacre of the village was the Shawute army's reprisal for last night's night raid, and Shihe herself was the executor of the night raid, so she inevitably had some psychological burden.

"Don't think too much, this is a helpless thing."

Li Boyong comforted her when he saw this; he knew Shihe's thoughts.

She had always been fighting to protect some things, before it was Coordinator compatriots, and now it was Li Boyong and Wang Liumei.

For her, she always hoped to avoid meaningless battles.

Regarding this, Li Boyong would not feel that Shihe was too naive.

He and Wang Liumei, although they each have their own bottom lines, sometimes have quite dark means, and even look down on human life.

The current Li Boyong, although he has not forgotten his father's teachings, it is hard to say whether he has carried out unnecessary killings against his will under the system's rewards.

In this case, Shihe is the last piece of clean holy soil in the hearts of the two, so that the three of them will not be too lost.

"Accompany me tonight, okay?"

"Of course."

That night, Shihe slept in Li Boyong's arms for a night.

Looking at her pure sleeping face, Li Boyong didn't mess around this time.

But the cruel battle still had to continue; the resistance organization would not lose its mind because of this and abandon the guerrilla warfare method, so the Shawute army's reprisal would naturally not stop.

Wang Liumei once sent people to persuade the Ankra people on the Shawute army's marching route to evacuate, but this ethnic group is a nation that attaches great importance to land, and has always been proud of possessing more fertile land than surrounding areas, and the persuasion work made no progress.

It's no wonder, if not so, how could they carry out a nine-year struggle.

As the campaign progressed, the Shawute army approached a town in the Ankra region after paying quite a few casualties.

The long-term harassment suffered during the march made the Shawute army exhausted, and the Shawute army commander had to let the troops rest briefly to prepare for a better state to besiege the town in front of them, thereby forcing the resistance organization to engage in a head-on battle with the Shawute army.

And Li Boyong naturally couldn't watch this town fall; otherwise, if the Shawute army captured the town, regardless of whether they massacred the town or not, the resistance organization would be passive.

After all, the functions of towns and villages are incomparable; if they fall, they will also affect the resistance organization's supplies in terms of geographical location.

"Retreating to here is about enough; it's time to give those despicable invaders some lessons."

Facing the agitated subordinates, Li Boyong made the decision to defend the town to the death.

To be honest, if the Shawute army would not massacre the town, he wanted to wait a bit longer; now to engage in a decisive battle, although he also has a chance of winning, the casualties of the troops will not be small.

But now it seems it won't work; if he watches the Shawute army massacre the town at this time, it will be a huge blow to morale.

Li Boyong divided the AS team into two, part of which was led by Shihe, continuing to maintain pressure on the Shawute army in other directions with the remaining guerrilla teams.

The remaining AS team and the militia entered the town together, preparing to resist the Shawute army's attack.

A few days later, the Shawute army rested, built an artillery position, and shelled the town.

Fortunately, because Shihe destroyed an artillery position of the Shawute army, the Shawute army's artillery fire appeared a bit formal and did not cause too much damage to Li Boyong's team in the town.

The shelling lasted for half a day, and the Shawute army AS team that guarded the artillery position and set up an ambush did not wait for the resistance organization AS team's surprise attack.

Then the Shawute army officially began to attack the town, and the mixed troops composed of infantry, armored vehicles, main battle tanks, and AS teams began to invest in the battle.

"Next, it is a battle where life and death depend on fate."

The cruel street fighting was about to begin, and Li Boyong, who was on standby in the M6, also prepared to go all out. ===== CHAPTER 156 =====

The cruel urban warfare was about to begin, and Li Boyong, standing by inside his M6, had also prepared himself to give it his all.
