#593 - Chapter 593: Encirclement

January 31, 2027.

6:00 AM.

The Ok-Hung Alliance launched their attack on schedule.

The Northern Route Army encountered resistance immediately after landing on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean.

Nearly a hundred anti-aircraft guns on the ground continuously bombarded the sky, erupting in frequent and violent explosions.

This wasn't their first attack on Modo, so they were very familiar with this scene. As long as they raised their warships a little higher, their anti-aircraft guns were just decorations, completely useless.

Modo seemed oblivious to this, continuing to fire incessantly.

The Ok-Hung Alliance was very clear that the people in front of them were all stragglers and did not represent Modo's true strength. They had suffered a great loss before because they were deceived by this illusion.

Therefore, they were much more cautious this time, advancing very slowly.

The situation was different for the Southern Route Army, which landed on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean.

This was because Greater Dayr had warships stationed in Damascus.

Sayoko Kamata was putting up a good fight. The Ok-Hung warships were met with fierce attacks as soon as they landed.

Moreover, the Greater Dayr warships had energy shields, making their defense extremely abnormal.

Within half an hour of the start of the battle, the Ok-Hung Alliance had lost three warships, which made Will very unhappy.

Weren't these Greater Dayr warships supposed to be under Dongfang Chen's command? Why were they really attacking?

So he immediately contacted Dongfang Chen.

"Mr. Will, they are still nominally under Modo's command. They can't just let you pass by, can they? I think as long as you detour slightly, they won't make things difficult for you," Dongfang Chen replied.

Will thought this made sense, so he immediately ordered the warships to withdraw to the Mediterranean and land again 300 kilometers north of Damascus. This time, they were not blocked by Greater Dayr and began to advance rapidly eastward.

At the same time, the joint fleet composed of Egula and the Mayans had already set off, heading north across the Mediterranean Sea to land at the coastal city of Annaliyah.

Perhaps because the Ok-Hung Alliance had attracted the firepower, their landing was not hindered in any way.

At 7:00 AM, the joint fleet successfully arrived at the important western city of Ankara.

At the same time, Dongfang Chen's two northern fleets had arrived at the northern towns of Almaty and Tashkent, respectively. The Western Route Army, crossing the Caspian Sea southward, had reached the central city of Tehran.

At this point, the plan formulated by the Ok-Hung Alliance had been fully completed.

The subsequent battles were all up to individual initiative.

Why wasn't there a plan for what followed?

Because their warships would lose contact after penetrating deep into Modo, making planning meaningless, so they simply let each fleet act according to the circumstances.

If Dongfang Chen followed their plan, he would definitely be screwed over.

Now that the Ok-Hung Alliance had lost contact with its warships, it was completely under his control. But Dongfang Chen could rely on the underground communication tunnels to understand the real-time battle situation.

After the Ok-Hung Southern Route Army advanced 500 kilometers eastward, its rear route was completely cut off.

The Northern Route Army was still relatively safe because it could escape towards the Caspian Sea at any time. However, warships were already gathering to its west, ready to attack at any moment.

From the current situation, Modo was planning to lure the enemy deep and then wipe them all out in one fell swoop.

And in order to prevent the Northern Route Army from escaping, Dongfang Chen speculated that Modo was likely to launch an attack on the Southern Route Army first. At this time, they might adopt a strategy of encircling without attacking, luring the Northern Route Army to come to their aid.

Once they went to help, they would be immediately surrounded, unable to escape.

Although the Ok-Hung Alliance was reckless, it was indeed the vanguard attracting firepower, and they couldn't be easily wiped out.

If they were wiped out, the Egula and Mayan joint fleet would be under great pressure.

So how to deal with the upcoming crisis?

That was to destroy their encirclement.

It had now been determined that a large enemy force existed to the east of the Egula joint fleet in western Modo. Part of it had already moved in a southeasterly direction, and its purpose must be to cut off the Southern Route Army's rear.

Then the remaining warships were waiting for the arrival of the Northern Route Army.

As long as the Egula joint fleet held this force, their pocket formation would be difficult to form.

On the other hand, there was also a small enemy force near Dongfang Chen's Western Route Army, south of the Caspian Sea. They ignored Dongfang Chen, and were definitely planning to wait for an opportunity to cut off the Ok-Hung Northern Route Army's rear.

"Mr. Techas, the communication channel has now been shared with you. Next, you need to set off immediately, heading east from Ankara, and hold the Modo fleet ambushing in the west. Otherwise, the two Ok-Hung fleets are likely to be surrounded and annihilated within two hours," Dongfang Chen said.

Their connection was kept open at all times to facilitate real-time sharing of information.

Techas was deeply impressed when he saw that Dongfang Chen had achieved complete monitoring of Modo.

If they had forcibly attacked Modo in complete ignorance, they probably wouldn't have had the slightest chance of winning.
