Feng Tao looked at the mechanical watch on his arm and asked, "Has there been any reply from Hammer Town?"
"No reply, Major."
"Haha..." Feng Tao sneered, "There are still about two hours left, and I am too lazy to wait. Immediately send an order for the artillery to continue bombing! Don't stop! Let them see how powerful we are!!"
The five attack motorcycles drove quickly towards the five artillery positions. Soon, the Arty self-propelled artillery opened fire again, and the huge roar resounded through the sky, almost comparable to the thunder that came from time to time in the sky.
The thunder and gunfire formed a symphony of destruction.
Boom! Boom! Boom!! Cannonballs kept falling over the deserted Hammer Town, blowing the buildings to pieces.
…
Looking at Hammer Town, which was almost completely engulfed by flames and explosions, Chun Yuyan put down the telescope in his hand and handed it back to Lin Huo, "They won't bomb for too long. The only reason I can think of for them to attack you is to annex you."
.Since we want to annex it, we won’t completely destroy this place.”
Lin Huo raised his binoculars and looked at the flames of Hammer Town, his face turned livid, "Even if this is the case, it is too much! You must know that this is a settlement!! And according to common sense, they should know that I am not
There is a place to evacuate people! I have no place to go to the ruined city before!"
"In other words, they don't care at all how many civilians die?" Chunyu Yan said in a deep voice.
"At least that's what Feng Tao thinks now."
"The commander of the Baiyin Regiment in Torch City, that Lu Weiwei, what is his military organization like?" Chunyu Yan asked.
"He has about 8,000 troops directly under him, stationed next to Torch City. There are about a dozen towns around Torch City, seven of which have garrisons. Depending on the size of the town, the number of garrisons ranges from 500 to 1,000, but not too many.
It is mainly infantry.
There are also peripheral mobile troops. They are highly mechanized, but all supplies are provided by Torch City and do not rely on other towns. There are three such troops, all of which are organized at the regiment level. Feng Tao
It's one of them." Lin Huo said.
"And his main enemy is Tie Long?" Chunyu Yan asked.
"That's right, the great warlord of the Forsaken. If we include him, then we are being targeted by the two largest forces in this area at the same time." Lin Huo said.
"If you let the Junkrat Gang keep harassing you from behind, you won't be able to accomplish much in your lifetime. If you want to develop, offending Iron Dragon is inevitable. If they are coming, we will just fight them." Chunyu Yan said calmly.
"Hmph!! I endured the humiliation and kept a low profile, just hoping to fish in troubled waters after Tielong and Lu Weiwei went to war, but in the end, you ruined everything!" Lin Huo said angrily.
"It's like they stopped fighting each other after they set their sights on us. As far as Ruined City is concerned, it's not enough." A smile appeared on the corner of Chun Yuyan's mouth, "On the contrary, now Lu Weiwei takes the initiative to invade, saying
It might even become a trigger!"
"You're saying that beating Feng Tao painfully might make Tielong think there is an opportunity for Lu Weiwei to take advantage of?" Lin Huo understood.
"It's not a pain, it's total annihilation!" Chunyu Yan smiled coldly and said.
"Where do you get your confidence?" Lin Huo glanced at him.
Chunyu Yan didn't answer, just looked into the distance.
…
"Major Feng! There is still no response from Hammer Town! We sent scouts to check and found that the town was empty. They seemed to have abandoned the town." A soldier came to Feng Tao and said.
"They are not giving up, they are trying to fight us in the streets." Feng Tao said calmly.
Lu Shan was horrified at the side, "But if there is a street fight, the losses will be huge!!"
Feng Tao sneered and said: "That's not necessarily true! The Tick Tank was designed with street fighting in mind. The thick top armor, when it is not in turret mode, can just withstand anti-tanks with cold guns in the buildings.
Rocket grenades. Besides, how could those frightened guys fight such a hand-to-hand battle with us?"
"But..." Lu Shan wanted to say something else, but Feng Tao stopped him with a wave of his hand.
"I am more concerned now, where did they evacuate those people..." Feng Tao said, "There are several small settlements in the ruined city, which should not be able to accommodate so many people. And if they really evacuate people
Even if they are evacuated, there is no way the Junkrat Gang could let go of so many fat sheep!"
He touched his chin, "Is that rumor true? Is the Junkrat gang really wiped out?"
"This is impossible! Although the Junkrat Gang is small in number, they are extremely fierce and can move unimpeded in the ruins south of the city. It is impossible to defeat them without the encirclement and suppression of thousands of people!" Lu Shan said.
"Don't worry about this. How long will it take for this ion storm to end?" Feng Tao turned to ask the staff officers.
One of the staff officers with eyes looked at the calculation data on the computer and said: "Although I can't access the main database online, I still built a simple model to calculate. This ion storm should be 12 to 18 hours away.
It will end in a while."
"In that case, let's seize this time to occupy Hammer Town! After the ion storm dissipates, our artillery units can more conveniently support the front line! Order the 2nd Infantry Company to enter Hammer Town immediately! 1st Armored Company, 2nd Armored Company
, 1st Reconnaissance Company, 3rd Infantry Company, be ready!" Feng Tao said decisively, "I hope that after the communication is restored, the first message we send to General Lu will be the message of the successful capture of Hammer Town!"
"yes!"
"Move the command post forward, the tick tanks advance one by one, and press the defense line to the 1 kilometer area outside Hammer Town!" Feng Tao continued to order.
"yes!"
…
The army immediately took action. In the defense line outside the city, the tracks of the tick tanks began to reverse, one after another got up from the half-buried state, resumed marching mode, and then pushed forward.
More than 100 people from the 2nd Infantry Company, led by three armored vehicles and three attack motorcycles, rode 20 pickup trucks toward Hammer Town. One kilometer away from Hammer Town, the infantry got off their vehicles one after another and formed a 10-man tactical line.
The group entered the town from several directions simultaneously.
There was total silence in Hammer Town. Apart from the thunder that had begun to gradually become sparse, there were only the sounds of some windows that were not tightly closed and the collision of the windows in the strong wind.
"Report! The 2nd Infantry Company has occupied several buildings on the outskirts of Hammer Town without encountering any resistance, not even a single person!!" A soldier came to Feng Tao and reported.
Feng Tao thought for a moment and then ordered: "Let the 2nd Armored Company and the 3rd Infantry Company enter the city and use tick tanks to occupy the main roads! The 2nd Infantry Company advances to the Hammer Town Industrial Zone and captures the factory area!"
"yes!"
"Report! The 2nd Armored Company has set up defenses on the main road without any resistance! The 2nd Infantry Company has occupied the factory area with no resistance either!" Half an hour later, the orderer reported again.
"Expand the defense area! Let the follow-up troops enter one after another! Move the command center to the barracks in Hammer Town!" Feng Tao said.
"Report! We have basically controlled the entire territory of Hammer Town!" More than half an hour later, the messenger came to report again.
"Search the entire town to make sure there are no traps left! Then set up defenses on the east side of Hammer Town to prevent the enemy from counterattack! It becomes more critical at this time! Report to me every 10 minutes!" Feng Tao's face was still solemn, and he kept talking.
Give instructions.
"yes!"
He raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was now around 6 pm. Under the influence of the low-pressure clouds brought by the ion storm, the whole place was as dark as night. Feng Tao's troops had set up high-power searchlights in various places.
But it still can't light up the whole town.
"What on earth are they thinking? Under such a situation, it is impossible to launch a counterattack..." Feng Tao touched his chin, puzzled, "Have they really given up? But with more than 5,000 civilians, and
Where can they go? Also, the granaries in the city are full, so what will they eat?"
He then looked at the lightning that was constantly striking in the sky, "Even if we can go to those small villages to stay temporarily, how long can we stay there? I'm afraid there will be famine in less than three days!"
Seeing his appearance, Lu Shan came over and said flatteringly: "But we have occupied Hammer Town. This is a fact! Can they still fight back? They even gave up the only street fighting that had any hope.
What else can be done?”
"Has the power supply in the city been restored?" Feng Tao ignored him and just asked the soldier next to him.
"No, the power supply facilities have been damaged and the power supply cannot be restored within a short period of time," the soldier replied.
"Nothing was destroyed, only the power supply facilities? They wanted to attack at night? But... why?" Feng Tao became more and more strange.
At this moment, a messenger suddenly ran in and shouted: "Report! We found a family of three in a basement! They were hiding inside and did not escape!!"
Feng Tao's eyes lit up, he stood up suddenly and said loudly: "Bring them here immediately!"
"Yes!" the messenger agreed and left.
"Wait a minute!" Feng Tao stopped him again, "Remember to tell our people to treat them well and don't use force! Give them some chocolate to comfort them!"
