On the streets of Portland, metal tracks clattered along with the sound of bones being crushed, echoing on the battlefield.
On a snowy street, a tank continued to advance along the street under the cover of dozens of infantry. Although there were resistor barricades on the street, it was almost worth mentioning in front of the tank. Originally, it was not worth mentioning.
It can block infantry attacks and barricades, and can be easily knocked over by tanks. Resisting soldiers are turned into dead souls under machine gun fire.
The tank drove over the corpse and crushed the intact corpse into minced meat. The tank's tracks were covered with minced meat. As it moved, it even made two red tracks in the snow.
"See? This is a tank!"
Remy, who was staying in the ruins on the roadside, said to Gary Bull.
"As long as they walk back and forth twice, they will turn all the corpses into minced meat..."
In the past few days, in Portland, there have been rumors everywhere about the power of the tank, that it can destroy everything, not to mention that bullets cannot penetrate its steel armor, and even cannons cannot destroy it.
Licking his dry lips and taking a breath, Remy touched the "Thor's Hammer" on the side. This thing was sold to the south by the empire's arms smugglers as early as the Civil War. It contained 2 kilograms of silica explosive.
"Thor's Hammer" was well received by soldiers from both the North and the South as soon as it was put into the battlefield. In the past, "Thor's Hammer" was used to destroy fortifications, but now?
"It should be able to blow up tanks!"
Holding it hard, Remy thought silently, Remy was not sure whether "Thor's Hammer" could blow up tanks, but this guy could even blow up a house, so he should be able to blow up tanks!
Remy glanced at Gary Bull aside.
"God bless, I hope I can blow it up!"
"Remy!"
Gary Bull looked at his friend nervously.
"Galibull, after a while you fight the infantry, and after separating the infantry, I will blow them up! Just like when we fought with the Indians in the past, you attract the attention of the infantry, and I will deal with the tanks!"
Maybe Remi was not a soldier, but they had fought many battles with the Indians as militiamen. But at that time, Gary Bull and the others were responsible for attracting the attention of the Indians, while he led others to attack the Indian camps.
Kill the women and children in the camp.
"Remy, this is too dangerous!"
"If we don't blow up the tank, all of us will die here! And..."
Looking at his friend, Remy said.
"We need to know how to destroy it!"
After saying that, he ran towards the bombed and destroyed houses ahead with the "Thor's Hammer" in hand, and then made a gesture to Galibull and his friends.
They pulled the triggers one after another and shot at the infantry. Faced with the fierce counterattack, the infantry accompanying the tank attack and retreated to the ruins on both sides of the road. When they fired at the enemy, the tanks continued to move forward. At this time, the tanks'
The pilots did not realize that they were separated from the covering infantry.
"That's it now!"
Without any hesitation, Remi kept moving from the ruins with his waist bent. He kept crawling among the craters and ruins. He carefully crossed the craters and ruins, and finally he came to a place only more than ten meters away from the tank.
Among the ruins of a broken wall, he lay down in the ruins and waited for the tanks to approach.
"A little closer, a little closer..."
When the tank was only a few meters away from him, Remi hunched over as much as possible and huddled up completely. The ground was shaking as the tank passed by, and the dust between the broken bricks kept sliding down, and he could see through the gaps.
When the tank passes by.
It was too late, but soon, he suddenly jumped up. He raised his hand and threw the "Thor's Hammer" directly towards the roaring tank.
With a "bang" sound, the heavy "Thor's Hammer" landed on the tank body.
Success!
Even before Remy could cheer for his success, the infantrymen at the rear spotted him and immediately shot at him. Before he could reach him, he had to dodge. His body staggered after being shot, and then he fell heavily on the ground.
On the ground.
"boom!"
Accompanied by a violent explosion, a violent explosion of flames exploded from behind the tank that was running rampant on the street. The tank was destroyed in the explosion of flames.
When the tank was destroyed, everyone was stunned. Who could believe the scene in front of them?
The seemingly invincible tank was destroyed like this!
Taking advantage of the Ming army's confusion, Gary Bull led the militiamen to launch a counterattack. I don't know if it was because they were too shocked, but the Ming army only resisted briefly and then retreated.
After repelling the Ming army, Gary Bull came to the ruins and saw the dying Remy.
"Remy, Remy..."
Listening to his friend's shouts, Remy smiled and murmured.
"I, I destroyed it, destroyed the tank..."
"I know, I know, you must survive..."
Remy died amidst Gary Bull's shouts.
Half an hour later, under the counterattack of the Ming army, Garibull and others abandoned dozens of corpses and fled their defense line. Occasional brave actions on the battlefield could not change the general trend on the battlefield.
On January 23, Portland, a city of 100,000 people, finally surrendered after resisting for a month and paying the price of tens of thousands of deaths.
When surrendering under the command, not everyone chose to surrender. At least Gary Bull did not surrender. He led more than a hundred militiamen to withdraw from Portland before surrendering, and stood on the edge of the forest covered with heavy snow.
, he turned his head and glanced at the city behind him. This beautiful city has now been turned into ruins. Many houses were burned in the gunfire, and more houses only had black beams left.
Post-war Portland was completely destroyed!
This is their city, a completely destroyed city.
"Captain, we have to leave."
Under the urging of his comrades, Galibull pursed his lips, stared at the city in the distance, and then said to himself.
“We will definitely come back!”
Whether this oath can be fulfilled is still unknown, but one thing that is certain is that Portland, the largest city in the north on the west coast, was finally captured after holding on for 35 days. Nearly half of the 40,000 defenders suffered casualties.
Less than 5,000 people broke through and fled into the forest, fleeing from the forest to the south, which had not yet fallen.
But the fall of the South is only a matter of time, and the fall of Portland will have an unprecedented impact on Americans in the west. After all, Portland is a big city in the eyes of many northerners...
