153: Lee Tae-yong's determination! Fight with dignity!

In the plans of Choi Tae-won, Lee Tae-yong, and others, the Mao Xiong forces were supposed to attack Ma Country directly along the line from Darkhan to Ulaanbaatar.

But now it seems Mao Xiong Country is launching an all-out offensive!

Choi Tae-won slapped his forehead, immediately realizing their mistake.

They had completely underestimated the situation.

Lee Tae-yong's previous idea was too naive; in other words, he was still thinking about problems in the context of the previous single-mode land battle of the instance.

But at this moment, Winter is Coming is a comprehensive warfare mode encompassing sea, land, and air.

Given that Ma Country directly borders Mao Xiong Country with a large boundary line, Mao Xiong Country would naturally choose a full-scale counterattack.

Therefore, they launched attacks on several areas directly bordering Mao Xiong, such as Ulan Gom, Khuvsgul, Darkhan, and Khentii!

It makes sense when you think about it; Mao Xiong Country, as an instance force, isn't stupid. Since it's a full-scale war instance, it will naturally launch a full-scale offensive and won't follow the Challenger's strategy.

The premise for Lee Tae-yong's tactics to work was that Mao Xiong would choose a single route of attack, which would make an ambush valuable.

Now that Mao Xiong has launched a direct, full-scale offensive, it will inevitably quickly devour other areas of Ma Country that have no combat power, and then encircle and attack the Challengers.

Moreover, there's also the coordinated attack of the Mao Xiong Air Force and Navy.

How can they possibly win this?

Currently, Ma Country only has the land forces of the Korean, and while they do have some air defense capabilities, can they truly counter Mao Xiong's Air Force?

A moment's thought reveals it's impossible; Mao Xiong's Air Force completely overwhelms the Korean Air Force.

Air Force against Army, without top-tier air defense readiness, is purely like being beaten like a sack...

"Lee Tae-yong, that idiot!"

"He's completely led us astray! His analysis is utter garbage!"

Choi Tae-won had now realized why Park Chengwan and others had previously decided that Ma Country's forces should conduct localized harassment.

That's because Ma Country is closest to Mao Xiong Country, and it's actually the most dangerous spawn point. Additionally, among the four spawn points, Ma Country was allocated the smallest force.

Once they rashly initiated war with Mao Xiong, it would inevitably invite Mao Xiong's attack.

All these conditions dictated that Ma Country could only serve as a harassing force and could not be the main force.

They should only let Choi Tae-won lead a few thousand men to harass, lure Mao Xiong's combat power into Ma Country, and then use Ma Country's vast territory and complex terrain to trap the Mao Xiong Army.

This group of people must never stop; they must constantly move, making the Mao Xiong Army constantly pursue them.

That was the correct approach.

But now... Lee Tae-yong has deployed all his forces in fixed positions, completely losing the characteristic of this harassment tactic.

Just as Choi Tae-won had his epiphany, a vast, dark mass of tanks was already speeding towards his direction from within Mao Xiong Country's territory beyond the distant border.

They were like a surging torrent, crossing the snowy expanse and breaking the silent winter.

The dark steel intertwined with the swirling blizzard, resembling monstrous beasts on the move, appearing extremely terrifying.

[Alert: Mao Xiong Southern Military Region's First Tank Division and Third Armored Division have entered Ma Country's territory!]

"All Choi Family personnel, listen up!"

"All of you, retreat towards Ulaanbaatar!"

"Don't look back, just keep running south!"

"Try your best to preserve your lives. If the people in front die, then the people behind will fill in, just make sure you can keep drawing Mao Xiong's firepower!"

At this moment, he couldn't care about too much. Since things had come to this, even though he knew they had taken the wrong path, he still had to follow Lee Tae-yong's instructions.

This would at least ensure that he, Choi Tae-won, and the Challengers from the Cui Family consortium wouldn't have to take the blame.

Choi Tae-won's motorcycle corps used their speed advantage to quickly flee south along the road, while Mao Xiong's tank group also directly crossed the border, advancing mightily.

He reported this to Lee Tae-yong immediately.

"Mr. Li, Mao Xiong's Army has been lured into Ma Country's territory by me!"

"Excellent! Lead the Mao Xiong Army to Strategic Point 1!" Lee Tae-yong said excitedly.

"But... Mr. Li, you should have also received the Sky Curtain's alert. Mao Xiong's attack this time is a full-scale offensive, and the Air Force will soon arrive on Ma Country's battlefield. We are no match..."

"I suggest we execute the strategy previously designated by Park Jung-young, conducting mobile guerrilla warfare within Ma Country's territory to tie down Mao Xiong Country."

"Nonsense!" Lee Tae-yong's roar came through the communication device.

"Even if we can't defeat the entire Mao Xiong Country, we must eliminate this first wave of Mao Xiong troops that have entered Ma Country!"

"Kill as many as we can! We must restore our Korean might!"

"Even if we all die, we will die standing! Much better than that useless Kim Geun-seok!"

Choi Tae-won sighed and could only continue heading south.

Regardless, as long as he didn't take the blame, it was fine.

-------------------------------------

At this time, Lee Tae-yong and Park Jung-young had already retreated to the main command ger in Ulaanbaatar, observing the situation at various strategic points on the light screen.

Thanks to his identity as the Commander, Lee Tae-yong could now see all real-time footage.

At this moment, the footage from a thousand strategic points was displayed before him, a truly magnificent sight.

Lee Tae-yong's gaze fell on the broadcast image of the first strategic point.

"Hmph, Choi Tae-won, that fence-sitter."

"I'll show you whether my, Lee Tae-yong's, tactics are right or wrong!"

Mao Xiong's First Tank Division was very fast. Less than five minutes after crossing the border, they had already reached the position of the first strategic point.

And they had already reached the mine-laying area.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

With a series of loud explosions, the leading Armata T-14 tanks directly triggered the landmines buried underground.

This time, Lee Tae-yong had buried a massive amount of explosives at each mine point, and the explosion effect was indeed completely different from the previous time at Lake Uvs.

The previous landmines had only left shallow scratches on the Armata Tank's sturdy armor, unable to cause substantial damage. It was precisely for this reason that they had suffered a major setback.

But this time, because the explosive force was sufficient, several Armata Tanks were actually overturned. Although not completely destroyed, they temporarily lost their combat capability.

Immediately following, various Korean armaments ambushed on both sides began to bombard furiously, firing with full force at the Mao Xiong tank formation.

Using the advantageous elevated geographical position, they indeed held the upper hand.

Due to the angle of elevation, the T-14 Tank's artillery fire could not accurately lock onto the enemies ambushing in the strategic strongholds.

This allowed the Korean Army to seize the opportunity, launching a fierce attack and achieving a one-sided offensive.

Several Armata T-14 Tanks were instantly hit by dense artillery fire. They lay paralyzed on the ground, emitting sizzling electrical sounds, accompanied by flickering flames, appearing particularly dazzling and tragic.
