The only new weapon equipped in the entire Marine Corps battalion, or in other words, there are not many new weapons equipped in the Airan Hill troops now, slowly flew up under the control of a soldier.
This is a small drone with a very sophisticated camera installed on it, which can transmit battlefield information in real time and provide soldiers with accurate and detailed battlefield reconnaissance intelligence.
It can provide early warning, and can also patrol or conduct reconnaissance in dangerous areas. Anyway, this is a very advanced "remotely controlled aircraft" that can effectively reduce the combat casualties of Airan Hill soldiers.
Under the control of the soldier, the small rotorcraft flew along the street towards the alley it needed to investigate. Then, on the monitor in the hands of the soldier and the camera on the drone, it saw those who were giving up on killing humans.
The demonic troops gradually retreated.
"It looks like they are retreating." The soldier controlling the drone looked down at the screen of his console, looking at the demonic troops leaving in the distance, and said to the company commander beside him.
"Maybe they are gathering and preparing to attack." The company commander frowned and gave another possibility.
"Combined with the real-time footage from the carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft, the demons on the city wall are also retreating. They are really retreating." The soldier switched on the system, put another real-time pattern on the screen, and said.
"That is definitely good news for us." The company commander felt that if the enemy retreated, it would be good news for them.
After all, if the demons continue to massacre in the city and continue to fight with the soldiers of Elanthir, there may be casualties, and it will also make Elanthir's operation to save civilians very difficult.
Now that the demons themselves have retreated, as long as they leave the city wall, the large-caliber artillery and other support weapons of Airan Hill will play a greater role, and the opponent will not be much of a threat.
In fact, within almost an hour, the bombardment by Eiland Hill's naval warships had destroyed many buildings in the city. In a sense, were these bombardments blocking the demons or bombing civilians?
, is not easy to distinguish.
Even according to the most optimistic estimates, there were many civilian casualties in the shelling just now. It's just that Ailan Hill did not care about these casualties, or selectively ignored these casualties.
They only save those who can be saved, and those who cannot be saved or cannot be saved are given up.
At this moment, the demons have begun to retreat, so the rescue work will become easier. As long as they reoccupy the destroyed city walls and isolate the demon attacks, they can easily save the civilians.
"The order came from above! Let's expand the safe zone! It seems that the devil is retreating. The higher-up has confirmed it." After pressing the earphone for a while, the company commander looked at the surrounding terrain and ordered.
.
From the beginning of the landing battle until now, the number of civilians saved by Airan Hill's Marines is actually not that many.
It is true that there are corpses everywhere, but there are very few living people. At the beginning, near the dock, because the demon attack had just started, there were still some living civilians and soldiers here.
After all these people have boarded the boat and left, if the safe zone is expanded, very few living people will be seen.
Most of the living people in the city center have been killed, there are scenes of rivers of blood everywhere, and the air is filled with the disgusting smell of blood.
Most of the corpses on the ground were mutilated, and some were obviously half-eaten. Such disgusting sights filled the streets and alleys, shocking every Elanthir person who saw the tragic scene in front of them.
"They should have retreated, but those near the port are still resisting!" Controlling his drone and looking at the burning and crumbling streets, the drone operator saw the message from the amphibious landing ship.
.
On the large fixed-wing reconnaissance aircraft, the reconnaissance equipment is more complete and the flight time is longer. Because of the larger flight radius, the Airanhill fleet has seen that a large number of demons are retreating from the vicinity of the city.
The retreat method of these demons is not the same as that of the regular army. They are used to retreating directly instead of gathering troops first and retreating according to the organization. This is easy to judge: the opponent's peripheral troops have left, and there is no sign of gathering for counterattack.
.
At the same time, the demon troops scattered near Shakeburn Pier were completely abandoned. Because they could not withdraw even if they wanted to, and because most of them belonged to the navy of the demon troops and now no longer had effective organizational capabilities.
.
These demonic troops scattered near the port have been sandwiched between Company A and Company B of the Airanhir Marine Corps. It is very difficult to escape.
At this moment, the person responsible for the attack was the armored reconnaissance platoon of Company B. They were covered by light armored vehicles and were better at attacking tough battles.
The company was mainly responsible for reconnaissance and the expansion of the safety zone. After the fleet confirmed that the demon navy had been cleared away, it also sent some auxiliary personnel ashore. They were only responsible for helping evacuate civilians and did not participate in the real battle.
…
On the other side, Eilanhir's B Company was storming a neighborhood where demons were entrenched. Here were some buildings in the port area. Most of the remaining demon troops in the city had gathered here to resist.
The wall was not very thick, but a huge hole was blown out by Airancier's rocket launcher. The collapsed bricks made the demon inside miserable.
However, they did not dare to go out and engage in a head-on battle with Eiland Hill's troops, because the 20 mm caliber cannons equipped on those armored vehicles were not easy to mess with.
After improvement and innovation, the increasingly powerful 20mm caliber cannon has significantly improved both its penetration and damage capabilities. Now this weapon can even pose a threat to high-level magicians and deal with some not-so-powerful demons.
It’s even more comfortable.
These demons are no longer the elite demons who can land in the ferry city of Elanthir. They are not equipped with the magic defense barriers used by the difficult infantry phalanx, only shields and armors.
In other words, to a certain extent, they were just strengthened human infantry with a little bit of magic, and were not much stronger than the Shaker City guards they slaughtered.
At least, these demons are not very formidable opponents in front of Elanthir's troops.
"Let the mortars cover this place! I don't have time to fight them over this building." The commander of Company B put down the precise telescope hanging on his chest, turned sideways and pointed at the devil-inhabited place in the distance.
Building, loudly ordered: "Fire when ready!"
On the street, next to the tires of the Eiland Hill wheeled armored vehicle parked there to protect the infantry, there were also bows and arrows shot by some demons. The opponent did not give up easily. They tried several times with bows and arrows, but they still could not penetrate the armored vehicle.
It's not considered a thick armor plate.
Although it is only a light armored vehicle, and although it is only equipped with a layer of ordinary armor on the side, and is only covered by a layer of skirts on the outside, it is still an armored vehicle, and it is not a target that ordinary bows and arrows can deal with.
"Boom!" On the other side, a rifleman was holding an M4 assault rifle in his hand, shooting at the demon who was reinforcing the building.
The ruthless bullets knocked down the demon navy soldiers, and corpses fell on the open ground, next to the human skeletons they had eaten.
Those demon soldiers carrying weapons and wearing heavy armor were hit in the arms or legs by bullets, staggered and fell, screaming and being beaten into sieves by the bullets that followed, and black blood flowed on the bright red streets.
As more and more corpses of these demonic soldiers lay there, the bombardment of Airan Hill also began. The shells fired by the company's large-caliber mortars fell one after another, quickly and promptly destroying the building in front of them.
The building, which was not very sturdy, collapsed.
Before the thick smoke had time to dissipate, two wheeled armored vehicles with excellent off-road performance began to move forward over the rubble. The huge tires with grooves easily crushed the arrows next to them, and the tail sprayed out due to the power of the engine.
A faint puff of smoke.
Following these two armored vehicles were Airan Hill Marines carrying weapons, night vision goggles and gas masks.
Now there is a stench of blood and minced meat here, and there is thick smoke everywhere. Wearing a gas mask seems to be a must if you want to fight.
In the smoke of gunfire, the new low-light night vision device can also allow them to maintain the visual range advantage over the demons, discover the target in advance, and open fire to attack.
"Boom!" Stepping on the head of a demon who was still breathing, a soldier lowered his head and poured bullets on the demon soldier's body.
The bullets left a row of black holes in the armor, and black blood spattered, some falling on the feet of the Marines, but they didn't care about this at all.
It is a satisfying thing to be able to kill these enemies at such a close range. The current Airan Hill soldiers have decided to avenge the massacre in front of them. So they don't mind, using their hands
The weapons inside express their anger.
"You... will definitely be wiped out by the origin of magic..." A demon lying on the ruins, half buried by the rubble, struggled and cursed loudly: "Wait to die! You damn humans!"
"What did you say?" the human soldier standing in front of him asked angrily through the gas mask: "I can't hear you clearly! Bastard! Make it clearer!"
However, before the devil could say it again, he pulled the trigger and shot a row of bullets into the other person's face. Apparently he heard what the other person said clearly and was just expressing his disdain.
