Chapter 158: Ambush Circle
The president's avatar on the big screen in the command center of the Special Investigation Bureau was unusually serious, "David, the devil has begun to invade in a big way, there are now 3 small towns and 1 small town in Maine, and we must respond immediately." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
"Yes, Mr. President, I have informed Bishop Louis that they are ready, and I have also mobilized most of the Einsatzgruppen and are working on a strategic plan to go to the front right away."
The president nodded, "I will also mobilize an armored brigade and air force on the east coast to cooperate with your operations, and we must boost the morale of the United States." β
Portland, Maine, the economic center of Maine and northern New England, where one-third of Maineans live in Greater Portland.
But now the residents are so frightened that they are packing up and preparing to leave. A large number of armored troops and warriors are massed in the city and deployed in the northwest direction, and the demons mentioned in the news are already approaching here, and no one wants to wait for the final result to come out so close to the front line.
In the temporary command headquarters at the front, David, Louis, and representatives of the military gathered here to study the battle in front of the operational map.
A staff officer pointed to the map and reported to the three of them: "The information we got from our reconnaissance and the fleeing crowd shows that the demons have completely occupied the city of Augusta, and we sent two reconnaissance teams, but they have not returned, it should have encountered an accident, so the number of enemies is not clear, but it will not be less than a thousand." β
The military representative in camouflage shook his head and said, "We have to pull them out and fight, so that we can give full play to our armor and air superiority, and street fighting is simply suicidal." "The two scout teams he lost were the best two teams he commanded, so there was a bit of resentment in his words.
David looked at Louis, this work can only be done by the Holy See and the Special Investigation Bureau.
Louis crossed his arms and looked at the map and said, "I don't mind this, in fact, many of our skills can also be used to exert maximum power in open areas, so you might as well see how it goes." β
He pointed to the location of a valley south of the city of Augusta, "We hide here, and then bring the demon army from the city here, and then the heavy firepower of the military will work with us to surround them and fight a war of annihilation. β
David looked at the map and said, "I only have one question, who will draw out the demons?" β
Louis said naturally: "The individual combat ability of ordinary soldiers is too weak, and the papal knights are too small, and they have to prepare large-scale magic, so let's send the witcher to complete this task, and the special combat team of the Investigation Bureau assists, how about it?" β
David thought about it, and indeed as he said, this task can only be done by a special combat team with a level of ability between the Holy See and ordinary soldiers, and Louis also promised to send witchers to lead the operation, but the casualties of the feint attack should still be acceptable, so he nodded and agreed to this operation.
The next morning, facing the early morning mist, Hansel, as the commander of the operation, quietly infiltrated the outskirts of Augusta with his men and special combat personnel.
Looking at the deserted streets and the buildings with smoke from the distance, he whispered an order in his headset, "Our mission this time is a feint, so don't enter the building unless necessary, and shoot with long-range weapons, as well as all kinds of explosives, just make a noise, remember not to fight." β
"Understood!"
"Okay, action."
Each witcher burst into the city with a small group, and soon explosions and gunfire rang out throughout the city.
At the same time, the Holy See and the Panzer Brigade also entered their respective positions, and all the knights spread out on both flanks with Louis as the center, forming an encirclement.
And in the woods behind the knights, the latest M1A2 main station tanks are also ready, ready to rush out of the woods at any time to cooperate with the knights' attack.
A few kilometers away, a single M109 self-propelled gun was also set to shell Zhuyuan, and the artillery had all the shells in order, ready to accept orders to shell the intended target.
Half an hour later, Hansel's rapid breathing came from the headphones of David and the other commanders, "Here, get ready, there are still two kilometers to enter the predetermined area." β
David hurriedly grabbed the binoculars and looked north, a large number of wheeled infantry fighting vehicles were speeding wildly along the highway into the ambush circle, and the few vehicles dragged behind were still firing frantically at the rear to block the demon's pursuit.
Looking further away, the Horned Demon, the Flame Demon, the Sheep's Head Monster, and the Cerberus are constantly chasing on the ground, and there are locust monsters in the sky that David has seen, David's face is a little pale, what is the situation, why are the types of enemies so mixed this time, didn't Roland say that they all belong to different demon kings, is it possible that all the forces of hell are united?
Before he could figure out what was going on, the unusually fast demon army chased the feint's ass into the encirclement.
"Holy Light Realm!" With a loud roar from Louis, all the knights stood up, stuck their swords on the ground and bowed their heads in prayer, while Louis, who was standing in the middle of the road with his hands outstretched, released a white light, like a human-shaped cross, and the white light changed its usual warm appearance, piercing the demons in the eyes, forcing them to stop.
Immediately afterwards, the kind of white pillar of light that David had seen in the suburbs of Washington that went straight to the sky continued to shine down from the sky as if he didn't want money, and smashed on the demon's body, and some weaker demons like the fire demon and the locust monster were directly wiped out with one blow.
An unusually tall horned demon in the demon group roared angrily, as if giving an order, and the other demons hurriedly scattered in search of concealment.
It's a pity that since this was chosen as an ambush point, how could it leave too much terrain for the enemy to hide, and when the holy light in the sky gradually weakened, the commander from the army also immediately gave an order: "Self-propelled guns, fire!" β
The god of war developed by mankind finally made the demons feel fearful, 155 mm caliber howitzer shells covered the entire valley, each shell can generate a huge crater on the ground, the energy generated by the explosion acted on the cracked shrapnel, directly cut off the head of a horned demon, 15 meters of killing radius so that the demons who had no concealment had nowhere to hide, and the valley immediately became a hell of blood and fire, and even the surrounding knights hid behind the mountain as fast as possible, dodging the splashing shrapnel.
Seeing the stump in the valley with mud flying through the binoculars, the commander of the armored brigade nodded with satisfaction and said to David on the side: "It seems that there is no need to send tanks and air forces." β
