Douluo: I founded the mecha tribe and I am the king of mecha battles!

Chapter 242 Suicide Charge

"Report! Enemy fire is becoming increasingly concentrated, and our defensive array is beginning to collapse!"

"The fleet has suffered losses."

The adjutant's voice trembled, his heart filled with anxiety.

"The entire fleet must retreat to the southeast and immediately block enemy fire!"

Dong Zian quickly made a decision, knowing in his heart that if things continued like this, the entire legion would face annihilation.

With the order given, the ships of the Sun and Moon Federation began to move until they formed a defensive line in an attempt to make up for the impending huge losses.

However, the firepower did not diminish as they fled. The combined attack of the Star Luo and Dou Ling fleets intensified, and the enemy fleet, like a cunning hunter, ruthlessly extended its claws toward the gradually collapsing Western Legion.

"Boom boom boom!"

The deafening roar of cannons continued, the air thick with the stench of gunpowder and blood. The waves on the sea churned violently from the aftershocks of the explosions; those once tranquil waters were now a deathly, bloody battlefield.

After Dong Zian and Yin Moshang returned to the Western Legion's coastal command post, the two men, looking disheveled, had their brows furrowed.

The supplies sent by the Northwest Army Corps to provide support were completely destroyed;
The mech force lost 80% of its mech divisions;
The Soul Master unit lost 40% of its combat personnel;

The mortality rate for ordinary soldiers reached 57%.
We haven't seen the real enemy yet.
More than half of the Northwest Army's support troops have already been destroyed!

The entire Western Legion's command headquarters was plunged into unprecedented chaos.

Both Dong Zian and Yin Moshang wore solemn expressions, as the battle was gradually developing in an irreversible direction.

When will the support from Federal Headquarters arrive?

Dong Zian asked the adjutant.

"Report: Federal Headquarters has ordered the remaining personnel of the Northwest Legion and the entire fleet to set off, and they are expected to arrive at the front line in an hour."

"The Central Army's mobile forces are on their way and are expected to arrive in one hour and thirty minutes."

"In addition, Chen Xinjie is leading half of the War Gods of the War God Temple on their way, and they are expected to arrive in twenty minutes."

Dong Zi'an's mood eased slightly, but he was still uneasy. He knew that the battle situation could change in an instant, and even with reinforcements on the horizon, they could not let their guard down. At this moment, his task was to stabilize the situation, maintain the morale of the soldiers in the Western and Northwest Legions, and adjust strategies in a timely manner to cope with the greater pressure that might come at any time.

"Order all fleets to maintain communication. Once the enemy fleet enters the attack range of our battleships, they are free to retaliate without regard to the load of their aircraft carriers!"

"The enemy's fleet size and the soul-guided cannons they are equipped with far exceed our capacity to withstand them. Our defensive soul-guided arrays won't hold out for long. We must retaliate to offset the corresponding losses!"

Dong Zi'an's eyes flashed with crimson hatred. He understood, of course, that issuing such an order was tantamount to telling the naval fleet defending the sea: "You will die, but please die meaningfully!"

But what could he do?
That damned Federal Conference, for the sake of its so-called interests, refused and blocked the Beast Merchant Guild, resulting in the Star Luo Empire and the Dou Ling Empire having a military soul guidance technology that is now a level ahead of ours.

“But…” “Sufficient counter-firepower could give us a chance to survive in this area.”

Dong Zi'an interrupted his adjutant without hesitation, his gaze resolute, like a star shining in the abyss, "We cannot die! The Western Legion must hold on, understand?!"

"Mingdu is right behind us. Should we retreat? Are we just going to let them occupy the entire west coast and safely send troops over continuously?!"

The crowd nodded silently. Though their hearts were still filled with fear, they had no other choice in the face of the impending, greater threat. To protect their homeland, to defend the land they had fought for, everyone was willing to give their all, even if it was a hopeless battle.

"Ready! All soul-guided rocket launchers on the coast, preheat! Once ready, no reporting is required, launch immediately!"

Dong Zi'an gave a loud command, his voice booming like a bell. Following his instructions, all the fleet soldiers began to bustle about, taking charge of their respective posts, their last fighting spirit ignited in the face of the approaching enemy.

Faced with such utterly incompetent tactical command, Tiger Demon didn't need to employ any so-called tactics; he had technological superiority, numerical superiority, and superior fighter jets.
If he can still lose under these circumstances, then Tiger Demon might as well just smash his head against a block of tofu and die.

Ignoring the excited look on Enci's face, Hu Shatian continued to give orders: "Fire at full capacity, lock onto the target, I want to see all of the enemy's fleet disappear within ten minutes."

Seeing that the enemy battleships could not reach their fleet at all and could only passively take hits or fire shells randomly in a fit of pique, Tiger Demon Heaven grinned maliciously.

Given our overwhelming military and technological superiority, why should I use my weaknesses to attack their strengths?
It's all about overwhelming technological superiority!
As for logistics and fleet losses?
That's something the logistics department should be concerned with!

Anyway, it's not like it's the army of my Beast Merchant Guild, so Hu Shatian isn't bothered at all.

With Hu Shatian's order, the fleets of the Star Luo Empire and the Douling Empire unleashed their full firepower. Soul-guided rockets, pulse laser cannons, Vulcan cannons, and other heavy weapons rained down like a storm, instantly engulfing the Sun Moon Federation's fleet in a sea of ​​fire. On the sea, flames soared into the sky, thick smoke billowed, and explosions rose and fell, as if the entire sea was trembling.

"Report! Enemy firepower is too intense; our defensive array can only withstand it for a maximum of six minutes!"

"The enemy fleet deliberately lingered at our fleet's maximum firing range, making it impossible to hit them!"

The adjutant's voice was filled with despair, and Dong Zi'an's face grew increasingly grim. He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug deep into his palms, and blood dripped from between his fingers, but he was oblivious to it. At this moment, only one thought occupied his mind: no matter what, he had to hold this sea area and never let the enemy break through the defenses!

"Order! All fleets shall immediately launch a suicide charge to bring the enemy within attack range, and then launch all available soul-guided shells!"

Dong Zian's voice was cold and resolute, as if announcing an inevitable death. Upon hearing this, the adjutant's face turned deathly pale, but he did not hesitate and immediately relayed the order.

"A suicide attack?!"

Everyone in the command center was deeply shocked upon hearing this order. It meant that the fleet would dedicate all its energy to overloaded defensive soul-guided arrays and increased speed, charging headlong into the enemy's firepower, risking their lives for a chance to counterattack.

This was a battle with no chance of survival; they abandoned the last remaining glimmer of hope.
But at this moment, they had no other choice.

"Excuting an order!"

Dong Zian's voice was like thunder, making everyone's hearts tremble.

"Yes!" the adjutant replied through gritted teeth, and then quickly relayed the order to every warship.
