Chapter 501: Capture Hovington Alive
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Explosions rang out one after another two kilometers away from the dark town, and the loud noise and dazzling fire light were so loud that even the people of the dark town could see it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
The original neat military formation of the US troops has been scattered into a mess, everyone wants to avoid the wreckage of the helicopter falling from the sky, but the random escape regardless of direction can only cause more serious chaos, some to the east, some to the west, some to the north, some to the south, countless American troops did not have a unified direction, and suddenly collided together in the dense military formation, they instinctively pushed each other, so that the crowd did not disperse, but became denser.
The wreckage of the helicopter that fell from the sky did not give the US military time to adjust to each other at all, and it burned with a fire, with a rapid whistling sound and a rolling heat wave, and fell with a bang in the desperate wails of the US troops.
In a very short period of time, a total of four helicopters were destroyed, and there were four wreckage falling from the air, and people still fell in different positions, almost in the blink of an eye, thousands of American troops were swallowed up by four fireballs falling from the sky, and the fire burned on the body, even the most elite American troops could not bear it, not to mention these ordinary soldiers of the second-line conventional troops, each of the American troops who had a fire on their bodies struggled frantically, under the fear, they had no reason, but instinctively rushed towards the crowded place, the fire burned more and more vigorously under the effect of helicopter fuel, and it could not be extinguished for a while and a half, so the disaster of the American army officially cameγ
Thousands of U.S. troops who were engulfed by the fire rushed out frantically and scurried in the crowd, countless scattered sparks and flames splashed on other U.S. troops, under the mixture of helicopter fuel, the ferocious flames simply had a posture of devouring everything, and the flames splashing on other U.S. troops suddenly expanded, so there were new U.S. troops who began to struggle, if they couldn't curb the spread of the fire, even more than 30,000 U.S. troops would be burned alive by the spreading fire without going to the dark town.
In desperation, after a brief hesitation, the officers of the U.S. military finally made a decision to shoot all the U.S. soldiers on fire on the spot, and never allow them to come near anyone.
The order was cold-blooded but extremely realistic.
The U.S. troops who received the order instinctively froze for a moment, and then before they could shoot, a dense explosion like rolling thunder sounded again.
The U.S. troops who were originally on fire screamed and rushed left and right, and the flames directly detonated the grenades and portable bombs on their bodies, and in an instant, the entire U.S. military phalanx was full of flesh and blood, and there were broken corpses and pieces of flesh everywhere.
First the wreckage of the helicopter, and then the thousands of human bombs, for the US military, this is absolutely a disaster from the sky, and before the war began, it has already suffered extremely heavy losses.
Finished.
On the helicopter, Hovinton, who had not yet recovered from his shock, saw the situation below, his eyes were dark, his body shook a little, and he almost fell.
This time, the attrition of the US military is not the main thing, the most important thing is to deal a blow to morale, which is simply fatal.
There are traps on the periphery of the dark town, it's already obvious, Hovington has even seen all the main battle tanks fall into one big pit after another in a weird shape, but Hovington is strange, even if the pit is dug and the tank falls in, the gun muzzle should be tilted towards the ground, how the is it all turned over now, and it happened to hit the helicopter.
How could it be so unlucky?
"Mr. Governor..."
An officer on the plane looked at the swaying Hovinton, rushed over with some concern, and helped him up.
"I'm fine. β
Hovinton shook his head, his face was as pale as a dead man, but he tried to stand up straight, his hands trembled and lit a cigar, he almost desperately smoked the cigar to suppress the evil fire in his heart: "Go, count the casualties, order the whole army to repair in place, oh no, go and get the main battle tank out first, what's going on, is the power of our main battle tank so rubbish?"
"This... The enemy is cunning, they are covered with countless smooth gravel and solid wood in deep pits, the ground is smooth, and the tracks of the tank are also stuck, so..."
The officer who held Hovington said with an embarrassed face, he was Brigadier General Solo, the commander of the Texas War Tiger Armored Legion, one of the military figures cultivated by the Hovington group, and served as the commander of the adjutant in this war, and the first 20,000 American reinforcements to reach the periphery of the dark town were Brigadier General Solo's army.
"So, we're going to have to use human power to get these precious things out, right?"
Hovinton gasped a few times and asked through gritted teeth.
"This... I'll let them give it a try, the solid wood stuck in the tracks is not too hard, maybe they can rush up, but in this case, our main battle tanks will have to carry out temporary maintenance on the tracks, this damn dense forest, completely unsuitable for main battle tank combat. β
Brigadier General Solo smiled bitterly and said.
"I see what you mean. β
Hovinton took a deep breath and said in a calm tone, "You're saying that we have to fix where we are now, and we can't even wage war against the dark town for a short time, right?"
"Yes. β
Brigadier General Solo gritted his teeth and said: "Mr. Governor, suspend our attack, this is the only option, this disaster is too sudden, and the losses are also very heavy, the mentality of the fighters is already very bad, the combat effectiveness of the fighters is our only advantage, if their fighting spirit is insufficient, our chances of victory are really not big." β
"But do you know that if I can't get back to Dark Town in twenty-four hours, neither Ulysses nor Dabinite will let me go, they will immediately let me go, twenty-four hours, how long has it been now, and how much time do I have left? β
Hovington turned abruptly, looked at Brigadier General Solo, gritted his teeth, and roared in a low voice, word by word.
"What?!"
Brigadier General Solo's expression changed dramatically.
Take the dark town in twenty-four hours, or you will step down?
The brigadier general suddenly blushed, gritted his teeth, and said: "Bastards! What a vicious plan, at such a time, they still want to fight? They are simply a disgrace to the United States!"
Hovington looked at Solo quietly, not saying a word.
He said everything that should be said, I believe that Solo will understand what to do, Hovington will step down, the Hovington Group will definitely not be happy, it will inevitably be broken up by Ulysses and Dabinit, some special positions within the group may still have the value of being co-opted, but most of the senior officials of the Hovington Group will not end well, especially the officers in Texas, they will definitely not be let go, Hovington has been removed because of the war in the dark town, how can they, the officers in Texas, survive?
"Five hours, I need three hours, Mr. Governor. β
Brigadier General Solo said suddenly: "I will urge Colonel Yurida to let his infantry division speed up the march, march at full speed, and abandon some unnecessary equipment, they should be here in four hours, and then there is another hour of rest and recuperation, and after an hour, we will go straight to the dark town and launch a general attack!"
Colonel Yurida's mighty infantry division also belongs to the Flying Tiger Armored Legion, but it is a little farther away from here, so it is slower than the Flying Tiger Armored Legion, but no matter how slow it is, they can reach here within four hours, which is nearly 10,000 combat strength, with the addition of this group of people, they are also a little more confident.
More than 40,000 people, this is already the limit of Hovington's short time in Texas, if you want to increase to about 80,000 people, twenty-four hours, no matter what, is not enough.
"Okay, just five hours. β
Hovinton took a deep breath, clenched his fists and said, "Let everyone rest in place." β
His eyes swept down, and on the ground, the main battle tank was still stuck in the pit and moving with difficulty, looking like an iron-clad turtle, clumsy and weak.
"Let people get this waste out, are those people on the ground watching the fun?"
Ulysses frowned and said impatiently.
At the same time, the US troops on the ground, who had already extinguished the fire, did not need to give orders at all, and had spontaneously assembled towards the main battle tanks.
And the driver of the main battle tank was even more humiliated, trapped here and unable to move, this depression almost made all the drivers vomit blood, especially the commander of the tank company, looking at the comrades who were getting closer and closer, he gritted his teeth, violently drove the horsepower to the maximum, held the joystick and twisted wildly, wanting to rush out of the pit independently.
The main battle tank roared fiercely, the huge body of the tank rushed forward two or three meters away, the solid wood in the track was directly snapped, and the company commander's eyes were red, and he continued to work hard.
Four meters.
Five meters.
The company commander's eyes lit up, and before he could continue to do something, the tank, which had climbed five meters forward, suddenly slid down, and the entire tank fell backwards at an unprecedented speed.
At the same time, the company commander in the main battle tank suddenly found that a large number of American troops who had originally gathered on his side were fleeing rapidly, and it could almost be said that they were on the run.
"What's going on?"
The company commander muttered to himself, and through the heavy deck, he only heard a noise outside, as if someone was faintly shouting some bomb...
Run.
All those who are close to the main battle tank are running.
Because just a few meters after the company commander rushed the tank out, everyone saw what was at the bottom of the crater.
Bomb!
Dense bombs and grenades, a large crater, and even dozens of portable bombs and hundreds of grenades, if all of them exploded, the firepower of this pit would be enough to bury a tank company that was very close to each other.
And these bombs are only a few tens of centimeters away from the bottom of the tank.
Now that the tank is retreating to the bottom of the pit at an even more ferocious speed than just now, no one has to guess what the result will be.
"Boom!"
As the U.S. troops scattered and fled, an explosion that was louder than just now rang out.
The tank of the commander of the tank company was instantly blown into countless pieces, and the earth-shattering explosion continued to spread, sweeping the outermost US troops and the surrounding tanks into it, and the bombs in several other large pits were detonated at the same time, in the dense forest, countless trees were pierced into pieces and flew into the sky, the fallen leaves flew wildly, and the dense forest of nearly 200 meters nearby was directly razed to the ground, and the scene was spectacular and shocking.
On the rooftop of the dark town two kilometers away, General Wu listened to the continuous loud noise, and said with a smile: "Our gift to the US army has been delivered, and the effect looks good, haha, the effect is unexpectedly good, military advisor, work hard, if possible, capture Hovington alive." β
