Boom! Boom! Boom!! The artillery bombardment was almost non-stop. Countless artillery shells had already devastated the Hammer Fortress. The remains of concrete fortifications could be seen everywhere, and the flames of incendiary bombs were also burning in some places.
extinguished.
And those near the Plz-45 self-propelled artillery fortifications were hit and bombed by ghost artillery and almost completely flattened. The wreckage of the Plz-45 self-propelled artillery was billowing with smoke, and the body of the gunner next to it was also in pieces.
Scattered everywhere. Fortunately, the underground ammunition depot was not damaged, otherwise the result would have been even more fatal if the shells had exploded.
A total of more than 20 Plz-45 self-propelled artillery were destroyed in the artillery battle, but these artillery at least stopped the Torch City Legion 10 kilometers outside the Hammer Fortress and did not continue to advance.
However, even though the surface of the Hammer Fortress has been riddled with holes, the Torch City Legion's bombardment still has no intention of stopping, but the density has been reduced a lot. In contrast, the Ruins Legion has not made any more movements.
Apart from……
Bombing! Non-stop bombing!
Torch City officially dispatched troops for 25 hours...
The number of AV-49 Wasp fighters has increased to 20, and these fighters are divided into two waves to continuously bomb the Torch City.
Chun Yuyan mobilized the Crab Spider engineering robot to carry out a simple modification for the Wasp fighter aircraft, adding a bomb rack on the belly of the aircraft. Thanks to the good engine, the Wasp aircraft can carry a 400kg aerial bomb. In order not to affect the Wasp
Due to the overall stealth layout of the fighter aircraft, this pylon is designed so that the pilot only needs to dive and then pull up quickly, and then it can fall off directly under the action of inertia.
In fact, this was the technology used by dive bombers during World War II, and it was very simple. However, Chunyu Yan's purpose was to harass, so he didn't have much hope for this kind of bomb. He didn't even bother to add terminal guidance, and it was just a simple trigger bomb.
At the same time, a small number of Mi-24 Hind armed helicopters were also modified, and the cabins were filled with bombs to bomb in the direction of the Torch City Legion.
The main bombing target of the Wasp fighter planes was still the artillery positions in Torch City. During the non-stop bombing, they destroyed more than 10 ghost artillery positions. During this period, the Torch City Legion mobilized Harpy helicopters to conduct several raids in an attempt to recapture the
Air supremacy, but then they were all beaten to pieces by Hornet fighters, and they were not even able to shoot down a Hornet fighter.
After losing more than 30 Harpy helicopters, the Torch City Legion had to rely on ground anti-aircraft firepower to stop the bombing in the end.
However, Nod's army has been fighting under GDI's superior air power for a long time. They are already familiar with this situation and have a complete set of response methods.
After discovering that they could not stop the Hornet fighters, the Torch City Legion, especially their artillery positions, strengthened their ground anti-aircraft firepower, forcing the Hornet fighters to high altitudes, leaving them with no choice but to carry out unaccurate high-altitude bombings. After that, all the legion's troops dispersed
Come and reduce the damage of bombing.
And even if their troops are dispersed, because whether it is armed off-road vehicles, attack motorcycles, or even armored regiments including tick tanks, they have super mobility, they don't care whether the Ruin Legion will take the opportunity to counterattack. If
If the Ruin Legion launches a counterattack, the surrounding armored forces will regroup with unimaginable mobility and inflict heavy damage on them!
However, there was still no movement from the ruined army, just waiting.
At this time, the First Infantry Division of the Torch City Legion was also slowly expanding southward. They relied on Bailong Town as a logistics base to expand their front line and surround the ruined city.
Torch City officially dispatched troops for 28 hours, and the temporary combat command center was established in Redwood Town.
"General Lu, the First Infantry Division has arrived at the predetermined position and begun to deploy the battle line." After receiving the communication, the combat staff raised his head and said.
Lu Weiwei nodded, "Is there any news from the Sixth Armored Regiment?"
The combat staff immediately replied: "Although there is great communication interference in the red zone, we have contacted them 17 minutes ago and reported the current situation. The Sixth Armored Regiment has successfully detoured back to the northwest of the ruined city, about 100 meters away from the ruined city.
5 kilometers away. And according to the prior plan, the Sixth Armored Regiment will launch a frontal attack after 166 minutes."
Lu Weiwei stood up and looked in the direction of the ruined city. It was almost evening now, and in the misty night, the ruined city with lights out was like a huge thing shrouded in darkness, lying in front of it, standing motionless.
Until now, the ruined city has only done three things in total - ambushing B.O.Ws for sneak attacks, ambushing terrorist robots, and bombing with Wasp fighter planes. However, these three things were resolved by them and could not cause more damage.
But even so, Lu Weiwei was still unsure.
Because...it's too quiet. It's so quiet that it's scary.
According to previous intelligence information, the power armor troops and tank troops in the ruined city did not appear, and some intelligence also indicated that they also had robots, but these combat robots still did not appear.
Could it be that the Ruins Army really wanted to fight them in the streets as previously expected? But it didn't seem that simple.
Lu Weiwei shook his head, throwing away the uneasiness in his heart, and his eyes gradually became firmer. If an army of three divisions and 40,000 people is still timid in the face of a small town with a population of less than 10,000, then he shouldn't mess around.
!
"Act according to the original plan! After preparations are complete, launch a full-scale attack and completely destroy the ruined city in one fell swoop!" Lu Weiwei said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" All the combat staff present stood up, raised their hands high, and performed the Nod military salute.
Ni Dong and Ma Luowei stood behind Lu Weiwei, their eyes burning. However, only Duan Heshan just stood there, his eyes flickering, thoughtfully.
…
At 10 p.m., 27 hours after Torch City officially dispatched troops.
The already sparse gunfire sounded again! The ghost self-propelled artillery position deployed 30 kilometers west of the ruined city once again fired continuously at the maximum rate of fire!
And this time, a large number of towed artillery also joined the bombing!
The tick tank troops of the 3rd Armored Regiment began to press forward, rushed directly to the Hammer Fortress 5 kilometers away to re-establish a defense line, and covered and towed the artillery into the battlefield.
Most of the towed artillery equipped in Torch City are 105mm caliber and have a relatively short range. This time, the towed artillery is also put into the battlefield, which directly demonstrates the determination to completely plow the Hammer Fortress to the ground!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!! After more than 100 105mm caliber towed artillery joined the battle, the explosion of artillery shells almost never stopped for a moment, and even the earth was shaking!
The armored troops of the 3rd Armored Regiment are also ready and will attack the ruined city as soon as the time comes!
At the same time, in Bailong Town, a special force is making final preparations!
20 huge Devil's Tongue tanks are already ready in the square, along with 30 conical armored vehicles. In front of these armored vehicles is a huge drill.
At this moment, the rear hatch of the armored vehicle opened, and a heavily armed Nod soldier was entering. Each armored vehicle can carry 8 soldiers, wearing black combat uniforms and full-coverage helmets, holding M-16 MK.II pulses.
Rifles and rocket launchers can be said to be armed to the teeth.
After all the soldiers boarded the armored vehicles, they only saw the drill bits in front of the Devil's Tongue tanks and conical armored vehicles starting to spin rapidly! Then the suspension devices of these tanks and armored vehicles began to operate, tilting the bodies up, and pointing their heads towards the ground. Suddenly there was dust
Flying, the soil on the ground was dug up quickly by them, and then these tanks and armored vehicles actually drilled directly into the ground!
At the same time, near the mining area northwest of the ruined city, the Sixth Armored Regiment also started taking action! 20 strange-looking tanks drove out. This kind of tank has a flat body, with four solid tires supporting the body, and it looks like a flattened tank.
Like a frog. And on the back of the tank, a set of retractable missile launchers are installed.
These tanks are very quiet when moving, and you can hardly hear any engine sound. Moreover, the tires drive very smoothly, and the suspension device is excellent. Even if it encounters bumps, the vehicle body is very stable, just like a ghost passing by silently.
After advancing for a certain distance, electric currents flashed through, and these 20 tanks disappeared directly from the air! Only the vague tire marks on the ground showed their existence! And these marks pointed directly to the ruins
