Chapter 1049: Battle of the Dnieper

While Jiang Chen and Efrin were worried about Germany's future, it was late at night in Ukraine, far away on the other side of the world. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was already late May, and the air on the outskirts of Dnipropetrovsk was already a little hot.

The old church stood alone in the middle of the ruins, perhaps because both warring sides had deliberately avoided firing at it, and it had survived. In the cemetery behind the church, dark smoke slowly drifts up. In order to prevent the plague, the citizens of the suburbs cooperated with the government army very tacitly, dragging the corpses that could be seen everywhere on the battlefield here, dousing gasoline and burning them in a centralized manner.

Two blocks away from the church is the front line.

The old mother, dressed in rags, walked tremblingly, wandering the banks of the Dnieper River where corpses were piled up, numb to the sound of cannons piercing the night sky from time to time in the distance, mechanically touching the soaked faces with her hands, muttering trivial words such as "God", "Jesus", and "not".

The mother river, which gave birth to the Ukrainian people, is now sinking countless floating corpses.

Zhang Feng sighed, raised his hand and pressed it on the outside of the helmet.

"In Area A05, a civilian was found...... Who's going to pull her back. ”

After finishing the communication, he glanced at the time on his watch, saw that it was time for a shift change, and switched the communication to the team channel.

"Alright, guys, pack your things and get ready for a change. ”

"Roger. ”

Soon, a squad sent by the civilian armed forces took over the defense area from Zhang Feng, and several militiamen in workers' uniforms set up machine guns behind the bunkers, seemingly guarding their posts very professionally. However, Zhang Feng knew very well that except for the captain who led the team, these people had probably just joined the army and had not even received serious training.

Yet despite knowing this, he didn't say anything.

What does it matter? It's a similar situation on the other side anyway. When the veterans' luck runs out, it's time for the recruits to get their eggs. At least the morale of the civilian forces is high, they are fighting for freedom.

At least that's what they think.

Out of kindness, Zhang Feng patted the Ukrainian on the shoulder and pointed to the ruins on the other side of the river as he left.

"Three o'clock direction, the point of fire of government troops. ”

The captain in the beige sweatshirt glanced across the river and grinned.

"Thank you. ”

"Good luck—"

"Boom!"

Before Zhang Feng could finish speaking, the roar of artillery salvos interrupted his blessing.

The two subconsciously bent down to protect their eyes, blocking the rubble that shook off the ceiling, and the glass on the window was shattered, causing the Heavy to curse in horror as he shrank into the corner.

"Damn, ahem, what are they doing?"

Choking on the ashes, the captain straightened up, shook off the dirt chips on his arm, walked quickly to the window, aimed at the shallow ...... of the river, and suddenly widened his eyes, and subconsciously burst into a foul mouth, "Grass "

Tanks and armored vehicles formed a torrent of steel, and to the accompaniment of artillery fire, they launched an assault from the shallows to the defense line on the other side of the river. The soldier roared "Ula", clutched his rifle to his chest, and followed the roaring torrent of steel, leaping across the burning ruins and charging towards the smoke-filled position.

The machine gunners on both sides unleashed their fire on each other, and orange-yellow ballistics flew indiscriminately above the Dnieper, tearing the quiet night sky to shreds. And on the other side of the river, more than a dozen transport helicopters, escorted by helicopter gunships, have broken through the flank of the Ukrainian government army.

Leaning against the other side of the window, Zhang Feng looked at the street in the distance in a daze.

"Sir?" Sergei walked up to Zhang Feng and asked him with his eyes.

Just as Zhang Feng was about to answer "I don't know", the signal light in his field of vision flickered slightly, and the commander's hologram appeared on the left side of his field of vision. Raising his hand to stop Sergei's words, Zhang Feng walked to the side, listened to the commander's order in silence, stood up and saluted, and shouted: "Yes, sir!"

Sergei and Hans looked at each other and looked straight at the captain who was walking towards them.

Taking a deep look at the members of his team, Zhang Feng took a deep breath and spoke.

"Sorry guys, the event was cancelled for a while. ”

"Ten minutes ago, the Star Ring Trade General Command issued a supreme combat order, ordering the front-line troops to cooperate with the civilian forces, take the Dnipropetrovsk airport before dawn, and advance our defensive line to the city center. ”

"It's time to end this war, let's cross the river and clean up those idiots. ”

"The terminal is the airport, you have a minute to check your equipment! Now follow me to the first checkpoint, and it's all moving! Hurry! Hurry!"

The smell of gunpowder came to the air, blowing away the remaining drowsiness of everyone. Following behind the charging first echelon, the Ring Trade Soldier clad in a mechanical exoskeleton burst out of cover and advanced at unusual speed through the shallow area strewn with track indentations.

The sky flickered with fire, and the Aurora-20 and F18 twinked together above the clouds, and after a while, the rain of death that belonged to the F18 fighter fell in a short time.

The anti-aircraft firepower deployed by the Ukrainian army in the eastern part of the city has long been marked by the Star Ring special forces wearing K2 exoskeletons, and has been smashed into broken copper and iron by tungsten balls falling from the sky. Under the cover of optical invisibility, they wander on the battlefield like ghosts, even if the Ukrainian army deploys a large number of infrared sensors on the front line, they are still dodged by these veterans with their rich experience.

In just ten minutes, five Aurora-20s have snatched air supremacy from the Ukrainian army, and the aerial bombs falling from the sky have kicked up bursts of explosive dust in the city, clearing the way for the 1st Armored Brigade of the civilian armed forces to charge recklessly.

The fierce battle seemed to shake the clouds in the sky, and a light rain fell on the originally clear night sky.

Arrowhead helicopter gunships appeared in the north of the city, trying to outflank the civilian armed armored forces, but they lost air supremacy, as weak as chickens under the claws of eagles. Without even using missiles, a shuttle cannon of the Aurora-20 hit it, and the helicopter gunship, which was exposed on the radar, tilted its head and smashed into the high-rise building on the side.

"Damn! Did they hoist all the tanks? these madmen!" prostrate behind the line, their rifles in their hands venting their fragile firepower, the Ukrainian soldiers shouted in horror, "What about our anti-aircraft guns? who cares about those planes-"

Before the words could be spoken, a bomb landed on the head of their defensive line. When the smoke cleared, his unrecognizable body had already flown to hang on a billboard ten meters away.

It is not only the Ukrainian army that is the main force of the operation that is uncomfortable, but also the mercenaries of the arrow company who support the operation.

Unlike the refugees and European volunteers who fought on the northern front, out of their importance to the city, they were all veterans of the Iran-Iraq war. Having fought two asymmetrical wars, it was the first time that they had tasted what it was like to be on the disadvantaged side.

The strong still resist in vain, and the nervous weak cry out the name of God and even forget to resist.

In half an hour, the Ukrainian army was disabled by two armored brigades, while the civilian armed forces advanced the front two kilometers at the cost of less than 20 tanks.

The flames spread all over the city, and the Ukrainian army, which had understood that nothing could be done, began to appear deserters. The first to start fleeing were the mercenaries of the Arrow Company, who had no sense of honor for this war that belonged to someone else, and naturally they would not have any guilt when they ran.

Soon after, the government soldiers also began to flee, many of them were forcibly conscripted, and when they saw the commander killed, almost all of them chose to take off their military uniforms and hide in nearby houses.

Looking at this battlefield with binoculars, a smile of joy has appeared on the faces of the civilian armed commanders.

Anyone can see that there is no suspense in this war.

Victory, it's only a matter of time. (To be continued.) )
