The quiet dawn dyes the dividing line between the earth and the sky white.

At six o'clock in the morning, the air troops of the Kingdom of Ghosts once again attacked Windmill Town from the air.

Various buildings in the town have been turned into uninhabitable ruins after repeated bombings in the past few days.

However, the Sand Ninja still stood tenaciously on the ruins of the town.

"Come again?"

Marky looked at the sky with a headache.

The air force of the Kingdom of Ghosts will launch attacks here every time at night and in the morning on time.

And each time the size is a standard fifty-man troop.

After these days of intense consumption, the bows, arrows and detonating talismans in the Suna Ninja troops are almost at their lowest point.

If the Kingdom of Ghosts launches another air strike tonight, then tomorrow morning, they will not have enough bows and arrows and detonators to deal with the air forces of the Kingdom of Ghosts.

By that time, the Sand Ninja troops who have lost their anti-aircraft capabilities will definitely become a living target for the Air Force of the Kingdom of Demons.

Compared to the so-called air strikes, the Air Force of the Kingdom of Ghosts is more like using a thousand sand ninjas as wooden stakes for their actual combat training.

Their air strike capabilities are increasing day by day, and they have become more skillful in operation.

In yesterday's air raid, the Kingdom of Demons only lost six aircraft, but the Suna Ninja sacrificed the precious lives of dozens of ninjas.

So far, less than half of the Suna Ninja have survived, and half of these Suna Ninjas are wounded. There are very few Suna Ninjas who can retain their full combat effectiveness.

The buzzing roar of aircraft resounded in the sky, and they began a new round of high-altitude bomb drops.

"Don't relax, as long as we resist the morning attack, reinforcements will arrive in the afternoon! Then is the best time for us to fight back!"

Magee shouted to the Suna Ninja around him. This sentence greatly boosted the morale of the Suna Ninja.

After several days of repeated bombings, they already had a huge psychological shadow on the Country of Ghosts.

Now that they heard Markey say that reinforcements would arrive in the afternoon, hope was rekindled in their hearts.

As long as we survive this round of bombings in the morning, the days of humiliation and confinement will be over.

When the time comes, they, the Sand Ninjas, will march all the way to the capital of the Demon Country with unstoppable momentum, feeling proud and proud.

Ma Ji saw that everyone's morale had been mobilized by him, so he nodded, picked up the radio communicator, and began to direct the battle.

Soon, Markey discovered something was wrong.

A hoarse, sharp sound suddenly came from the communicator. This sound was like the sound of pebbles scratching against glass, and it was exactly the same as that sound.

"Team 3, how is the situation over there? Can you hear me? If you hear me, please answer!"

Marky asked quickly.

The hoarse and sharp sound became louder, but no report came, being covered by the ferocious sound of artillery fire.

Markie stared blankly to the southeast, where the three teams were located. They were covered by endless flames, sand and soil were flying, and they fell into a dead silence.

The radio...is out of order?

Markey had to accept this fact that made him feel desperate.

Why do radios malfunction?

He quickly picked up the spare radio device, but still only hoarse noise came. His own voice and that of the rest of the team were completely blocked by something, making it impossible to convey information, let alone direct operations.

"What, what's going on?"

Markey couldn't figure out why the radio failed at such a critical moment, and why the backup radio also failed.

This kind of thing is definitely not a coincidence.

But it wasn't a coincidence. He didn't know what the ninjas of the Ghost Country had done to cause their radios to malfunction at the same moment.

Without his unified command, Ma Ji shuddered just thinking about what would happen to the Sand Ninjas in the ruins of Windmill Town.

His eyes glowed red, and he looked at the Demon Country's air troops who were still projecting explosive kunai in the sky. He had strong anger in his heart but could not vent it.

Because the detonating arrows on the ground were shot into the sky without any order, the Suna Ninja's anti-air capabilities were greatly weakened against the Demon Country's air forces, and they were unable to form effective anti-air combat effectiveness.

"Lord Markey, be careful!"

A kunai wrapped with a detonating talisman suddenly fell to the ground, very close to Ma Ji's body.

In an extremely frightened and angry state, Ma Ji lost consciousness for a moment and could not accept such a result.

A sand ninja quickly knocked down Maki to prevent him from causing an accident.

boom!

The two of them were swept away by the impact of the detonating talisman, and were left disgraced and embarrassed.

Ma Ji coughed, blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and he gritted his teeth and stared at the Ghost Country troops in the sky, his heart filled with unwillingness and bitterness.

Reason told him that if the Suna ninja troops could not unite, they would only be defeated individually in the next air raid.

The overall situation has been decided.

He had imagined many times that the defeat of the Sand Ninja troops here would be due to lack of food and water, or the bows and arrows and detonating charms were consumed too quickly, resulting in the loss of combat capability.

But he never imagined that the root cause of his failure would be that the radio device could not communicate properly.

The Sand Ninja troops were perfectly cut up on the battlefield by the Oni Country Ninjas. They fought independently in front of the unified Oni Country air force offensive. There was no other result except being defeated individually.

In war, if a team loses its cohesion and unity, it will fail very quickly.

Whether it is to integrate the queue or disperse the enemy, it is necessary to make reasonable arrangements as soon as possible. An extra minute of delay may cause the situation to change suddenly. The Kingdom of Ghosts has fundamentally cut off the tactical configuration of the Sand Ninja.

The most desperate place.

Even if the Sand Ninja are allowed to disperse now, so that the firepower of the Demon Country is dispersed to a certain extent, it seems a little late to make arrangements at this time.

Magee looked at the air forces of the Kingdom of Demons, bombing from the outside with explosive kunai inward with ease, and constantly narrowing the scope of the Suna Ninja's activities, just to prevent the Suna Ninja from being scattered, intending to gather them together and end the battle in one breath.

Being able to cut off communication equipment, how could the Kingdom of Ghosts not think of this step?

They have already prepared a foolproof plan and will not give the Sand Ninja any chance to counterattack.

…

Nowhere in Windmill Town, which was trapped in artillery fire and dust, was intact.

In order to end the battle this morning, high-intensity fire suppression was adopted this time. The attack would not be stopped until the Sand Ninja completely lost their ability to resist, instead of being a time-limited training activity like the previous times.

Ayane looked at the smoking windmill town from a distance with white eyes. The town's original appearance had long been changed beyond recognition.

On the charred ruins, countless bodies of Sand Ninja fell. Some were not dead yet, writhing and struggling in pain on the ruins, dying.

"Come on, we can carry out the final closing of the net. There is no need to attack those who are not dead yet. Bring them all back to Ziyuan City and put them back in prison for custody. Dead people are worthless."

"yes."

After hearing this, the Jonin squadron leader disappeared from Ayane and led people to Windmill Town to close the net.

◎

When we returned to Ziyuan City, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

In less than a week, Ayane's troops killed a total of 731 enemies, captured 269 people, and some supplies. We lost 47 aircraft and suffered 31 minor injuries.

people, three were seriously injured, and the sacrifice rate was zero.

Although it took a long time, 731 enemies were killed on the basis of zero sacrifice, which is a proud achievement.

This can also prove that the containment and air attack capabilities of the air force are outstanding.

The high mobility also makes people have unlimited beautiful thoughts about the future of this army.

After reading Ayane's report, Shiraishi nodded slightly. Basically, he did not deviate from his expectations. The time consumption and results were very close to his predictions.

The only regret is that the formal personnel of the air force is only 300.

Not only is the cost of the latest combat aircraft a problem, there are also technical limitations.

After all, unlike low-tech light weapons like kunai guns, military combat aircraft are very expensive to build.

The subsequent training of flight personnel is also a considerable investment in time and cost.

Before more powerful bomb-dropping weapons are developed, such a unit can bring many unexpected results when used as a surprise attack.

Once the enemy becomes familiar with the mechanism, the threat will be greatly reduced.

"Overall, this is a beautiful victory, thank you for your hard work. By the way, there is nothing wrong with the prisoners, right?"

Shiraishi mentioned this matter.

"Don't worry, there are medical ninjas following us on the way back, and the seriously injured prisoners' injuries have been stabilized. Now I have sent people to put them in prison. After the war is over, let Sunagakure come over and get money to ransom them."

Ayane has already thought about how to kill Sunagakure happily when the time comes.

In particular, Sunagakure's Jonin Maki was once again captured alive this time by their Demon Kingdom.

This popular person next to the Fourth Kazekage will surely be able to sell for a lot of money by then.

"There is no need to worry about this kind of thing. With these captives in hand, the advantage will be on our side. Even if we negotiate at the negotiating table, we will be in the dominant position."
