"But those rebels, as well as the newly added Elijah Third Division, may have tens of thousands of them." An officer said worriedly.

"Even if they have tens of thousands, they will not be able to put all their troops into Paramore. They now control the Redmai and Murono lines, and they have to guard the entire Route 4.

It can be said that their forces will be quite dispersed. No more than tens of thousands of people can really be used to attack Paramore. For defensive operations, the number required is lower than that of the offensive side. So Isaiah the Goat has more than 6,000 troops, plus our heavy weapon cover. It should be enough. "Minister Lester replied.

In the early morning of the 7th, a group of hundreds of insurgent officers and soldiers marched along the No. 4 road towards Paramore. Apart from the sound of cars on the highway, there are the neat footsteps of soldiers. Various commands came and went one after another, occasionally the sound of the weapon on the shoulder colliding with the magazine in the waist.

These soldiers are Elijah's men. They are still wearing federal uniforms, but they all wear the hammer organization's uprising symbol, a purple armband dyed with local plants.

At this time, the city of Paramore exuded the smell of anxiety and gunpowder. The citizens who had taken refuge watched in horror that the city had become a military camp almost overnight. Soldiers were everywhere, and the sound of guns in the distance was endless. Is this really going to be a battlefield? All ordinary citizens are worried.

In the Olumi Federal Garrison Headquarters, the hurriedly rushing capital garrison commander Isaiah, known as the goat, and a group of Olumi Federal Army officers gathered in the command post. The busy figures of the staff officers swayed under the dim light, and the reports of the troops' presence kept coming.

"The enemy forces are moving very fast, our defense line is slow to build, and progress is very unsatisfactory." A major pointed at the map, frowning: "Those enemies must be immediately pushed out of our defense line. At the same time, no troops are strictly prohibited. Retreat without authorization. When necessary, you can order the 12th Regiment to take the initiative to block the route along Route 4 and kill those who step back. At least two or three days must be bought for us."

Even though the major said so, Isaiah himself knew that using a regiment to attack proactively might not be able to gain more time. So he shook his head, rejected this risky proposal, and changed the original active defense expansion to contraction defense.

As the artillery of the insurgents once again carried out fierce fire bombardment on the entire Orumi Federation garrison position south of Paramore, Elijah's Free Federation Division also began to attack frenzy.

Batches of artillery shells screamed and fell, blasting into the front line of defense and the depths of the Orumi Federation garrison. The infantry of the rebel army rushed straight to the suburbs of Paramore from the west side of Highway 4. The air was filled with the choking smell of gunpowder and the slightly rotten smell of the fried soil.

The panicked soldiers of the Orumi Federation found that as the gun smoke faded, countless rebel soldiers appeared on the opposite side. Amid the scolding of the officers, the messy Union soldiers flocked to their combat positions to resist the invading rebels.

Elijah’s troops were the first to attack by the entire insurgent. Many soldiers took advantage of the cover of artillery fire to charge forcibly, using machine guns and artillery to suppress them in turn, rushing to the edge of the suburbs in one fell swoop. After several rounds of fire coverage, the blocking position has almost been blown into craters like the surface of the moon, with crater-like craters everywhere.

However, the well-trained Orumi Federal Forces, relying on the cover of bunkers and some craters, under the command of the officers, are still regularly conducting defensive back attacks. Elijah's soldiers were unable to break through the enemy's defenses for a while, and were blocked by the enemy's fire at the front of the position.

The soldiers are calling for support. Several light armors of the rebels served as fire cover. Continuously passing through a chain of fire, it is the machine gun fire cover from these vehicles.

Under the violent bombardment of Xu Jin's barrage, the Orumi Federal Defenders, who slumped their heads to avoid the shelling, did not expect the rebels' offensive to be so organized. He actually used Xu Jin's barrage to cover the infantry charge. As the shelling barrage slowly advanced, groups of insurgents followed and rushed up.

When the artillery fire stretched over, the Orumi Federation soldiers who had just prepared to counterattack found that the enemy on the flanks had also reached the edge of the position. "Hit, everyone pick up a weapon for me and shoot, shoot!" the officer yelled rudely.

The torrential bullets drove many insurgent soldiers to the front. The grenades fell one after another and exploded among the Orumi Federal troops. Although there were many casualties, the hordes of Orumi Federal Forces still defended firmly.

The rebels opened their way with grenades and vehicle-mounted machine guns, forcibly rammed the enemy's positions, and advanced along the gap between the defenders' fortifications. Grenades, rockets, and machine guns forcibly smashed a gap in the defensive position of the Orumi Federal Army, and the soldiers of the rebel army bent forward and charged forward.

The previous battle of Route 4, the battle of Redmey City, and the battle of Paramore, which started now, caused heavy casualties and severe injuries to the troops of the insurgents. But it also made these surviving soldiers begin to learn how to fight.

These insurgents lack experience, and their combat command is naturally chaotic. In the face of stubborn resistance, these rebel soldiers began to fall into chaos. Due to the individual combat capability of the Orumi Federal Army, it is far stronger than the civilian rebel soldiers.

Therefore, the responsibility for the tough fight is still on Elijah's people. These soldiers under Elijah knew that they had already taken on the reputation of the rebels and it was impossible to look back. In the hands of the Federal Army, only to be shot. Taking Paramore, in order to survive, has become the only thought of these soldiers.

Therefore, their frenzied offensive ignoring casualties at this time also surprised the Orumi Federation defenders.

The officers urged the soldiers to keep fighting while directing the fire. In fact, sometimes they don't need their supervision. The blood and the smell of gunpowder on the battlefield can most arouse the violence and potential in people's hearts. Even some timid insurgent soldiers will kill the red eye.

Many insurgents rushed forward with the coordination of the friendly flanks. They rushed up with bazookas and explosive kits, trying to blow up the fortifications of the defenders. Some people were able to succeed, while others were torn to pieces by the heavy firepower of the enemy.

The front of the defender led by Isaiah the Goat and the former Third Division led by Elijah, now the Free Federation Division, fought fierce battles at close range and headed for each other. The small rebel forces that flanked frantically invaded, struggling to move forward under the resistance of the federal forces.
