Chapter 582: Battle of Cagayan City

Volume 1, Pot 1, Gold Chapter 582, Battle of Cagayan City

Next chapter

On the outskirts of the city of Cagayan, 3 km from the front line.

Obviously in the present world, the cold north wind is infected with a bit of the depression of the last days. Scattered on street corners and alleys

It hasn't snowed in Cagayan, and it's never been so cold.

In shady corners, homeless people can occasionally be seen living with stray dogs. The supermarkets on the streets have long since closed, and hungry people are searching for food to eat. Guilty people may leave money at the cash register when no one is around, but most people choose to leave the flashlight off as if nothing happened.

It doesn't matter anymore, anyway, the Philippine peso has become waste paper, and the rich and poor are starving alike. Foreign currencies such as the dollar and the RMB still have some purchasing power, but no one wants to sell food and precious medicines.

Yesterday the Moro guerrillas had re-advanced here, and this time they were coming more aggressively than ever. But whether they come or not, there will be no trucks carrying food and merchandise coming here. After all, just a few kilometers away, a terrifying Resident Evil is erupting.

The civilians have long since abandoned their original political position, and whoever it is, hurry up and end this stupid war.

Neither the 14th Division of the Philippine Army, which blockaded the city of Cagayan, nor the Moro guerrillas, were not good in the eyes of the locals. As for the Star Ring Trade, they are rarely seen in the eyes of ordinary people, so the locals don't have any intuitive sense of these mercenaries who are equipped to rival the regular army.

Invaders? maybe.

But who cares?

In order to stop the advance of the Moro guerrillas, the 14th Division sent a large number of snipers to the city, while planting anti-personnel mines at some key locations.

This did cause a lot of trouble for the advance of the 5th Division of the Moro Country, after all, the Moro State lacked tanks and armored vehicles, and the composition of the force was almost all riflemen and machine gunners. Sniper rifles, such a precious thing, they only recently captured a batch from the hands of the 21st Division.

But it was not only guerrilla soldiers who died under mines and sniper guns, but also civilians with no combat experience.

This is the blind spot of humanism.

To deal with these troublesome snipers, Warring Trade's choice is airstrikes.

The stealthy ghost agent aimed the laser locator at the target, and then the Aurora-20 flew over with a shuttle cannon, smashing the sniper into a sieve along with the building he was crouching in. In order to avoid civilian casualties. Jiang Chen ordered Energizer to refrain from using aerial bombs in the city.

Not because of kindness, but because of the international community, not to fall into the international community, which is not conducive to the trade of the warp.

Even so, the snipers were still delayed for two days.

But this will soon be over.

On the evening of December 31.

The Warp Trade Operations Command issued an operational order for a general assault and launched an attack on the city of Cagayan on New Year's Eve. Annihilate the 14th Modern Division of the Philippine Army, as well as the tank brigade that rushed to reinforce it, and strive to seize control of Cagayan City before 0:00 on January 2!

The attack was spearheaded by the Ring Trade's rocket artillery.

The EMP rocket exploded over the western district of Cagayan City, completely destroying the electronic equipment of the 14th Division.

However, the 14th Division is the elite of the Philippine Army after all. As soon as the rocket launches into the air, a counter-artillery attack was launched on the artillery positions of Star Ring Trade. Eight 155-mm guns almost destroyed a hill, but before they could fire two shots, they were blasted into scrap metal by Aurora-20 missiles.

In order to avoid the air raids of Star Ring Trade, the Philippine army racked their brains to come up with some ideas. For example, the infantry artillery was wrapped in gray cloth strips into seeds, and the tanks were broken into pieces and hidden in the building complex, waiting for the Moro guerrillas to approach before attacking......

However, when the EMP rockets arrived on the battlefield, this qiē trick was useless.

Having lost the observer's reporting point, the artillery had to rely on range-finding smoke and intuition to open fire.

The tank brigade is in good condition. Thanks to those backward weapons and equipment, the "Scorpion" reconnaissance tank, as the main force, was originally a thing of the previous era. Although it is not designed with anti-radiation and anti-EMP functions like modern tanks, it is still as if nothing is wrong after taking an EMP. After all, there are no advanced electronic products on this tank that can be destroyed except for a communication device.

The 14th Division faced the same situation as the defeated 21st Division, with all electronic equipment collapsing and the command system completely paralyzed.

At the same time, flares rose into the air, igniting the dark night sky southwest of the city. With the cooperation of the vehicle-mounted machine guns, the infantry of the 5th Division of the Moro Country, whose morale was high, began to attack, and punched the elite of the 14th Division in the face like a straight fist.

The other side. The southeast side of the city is supported by the southwest side, but it is as dark as death.

500 Star Ring Marines, airlifted by more than a dozen heavy transport planes, landed on the edge of the zombie-occupied zone.

Because he has been injected with Class E genetic drugs. These soldiers are completely immune to the zombie virus, so they don't need to worry about infection even if they don't wear protective clothing.

With the help of night vision devices, these 500 soldiers and thousands of hummingbird drones were like a sharp blade in the dark, fiercely stabbing into the hinterland of the 14th Division's defense area. Under the guidance of Sky Eye X1, the artillery and empty machine guns scattered throughout the city were eliminated at designated points.

This night. The soldiers of the 14th Division deeply felt the fear of asymmetric warfare.

The F-5A and Mustang attack planes on standby at Manila Air Force Base refused to take off, and the FA-50 fighters could not defeat the fighters, and everyone knew that this would be a flight to the death with no return.

Santos also has some regrets about this, he has seen the terrifying harvesting ability of the Aurora-20. In addition to the fifth-generation aircraft such as the F35 on the USS Stennis aircraft carrier, which can still pose a limited threat to it, even if there are more paper planes in the Philippines, they will be shipped.

At six o'clock in the morning, before dawn, the fighting in Cagayan City was almost over.

The defeat of the 14th Division was a foregone conclusion, the tank brigade and the mechanized brigade both surrendered to the Moro side, and only a dozen snipers in the city were still resisting.

Leaving behind the 11th Infantry Brigade, which was resisting near the security zone, Elibeli boarded the transport freighter docked in the port.

Because of the blockade of the city of Cagayan, the ships were detained in the port and banned from going to sea until the blockade order ended.

The order was signed by Aquino himself, but at the moment the flames of war were burning to his eyebrows, and Eribelli couldn't care so much.

Led more than 30 soldiers of the Guards and several officers close to him, he woke up the crew detained in the harbor and urged them to board the freighter and sail the ship.

The flames of war quickly found a place near the safety zone, driving on the surface of the Bohol Sea, looking at the city of Cagayan, which had turned into a black spot on the horizon, and Eribeli slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the accountability from the presidential palace and the media may make it difficult for him to have a hard time in the next six months, at least he does not have to be a prisoner of the guerrillas, which still gives him some relief in his heart.

"How long will it take to get to Cebu?"

"There's about an hour left...... Hell, I kind of understand why the 21st Division lost contact. Standing beside him, the frightened Sergeant Kaweiler swallowed and foamed.

"That weird rocket. ”

Elibery's face was clouded.

Filipino soldiers lost not in tactics and will, but in weapons technology. However, the gap between the latter is the most powerless, the former can be solved by guò training and ideological work, while the latter cannot be solved at all in a short period of time.

Unless the United States risks provoking China by deploying Patriot-3 anti-aircraft missiles in the Philippines and selling F35 fighter jets to the Philippines, they have no chance of winning at all.

But then again, even if the United States is willing to sell, they may not be able to afford that money. One F35 will cost more than 100 million, and the Philippines can buy two F35s with all its annual military spending, which is an economy supported by the export of bananas.

As Eribelli pondered how to deal with Aquino's rebuke, he didn't realize how conspicuous the ship he was on was from the SkyEye X1 observation satellite. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please visit wènhttp://mnet
