PS: Thanks to Liangshan Lao Wu for a monthly pass.

About two and a half hours later, after the coalition forces came up with a plan to annihilate the remnants of the Thunder Army hiding in the jungle, the clock arrived at about 8 p.m. Cape Town time on November 28, 2007.

By this time, it was completely dark, and the scorching surface, which had been baked by the sun all day, began to slowly recede and become cooler, and the animals in the jungle were also waking up from their sleep. The combined forces, which had just seized the time to repair, were once again assembled and fully armed for the final general attack.

The helicopter gunship, which had been well maintained by the technicians, also turned its propellers and soared into the sky with countless explosives, and at the same time turned on the on-board infrared detector, preparing to pull out all the thunder remnants in the jungle and wipe them out.

The smoke of war filled the jungle and beyond, and many animals that had just fallen asleep felt the danger coming, and they opened their eyes and began to flee from the jungle to take refuge.

Even the animals know the danger, and the remnants of the thunder hiding in the jungle are not idiots, and when they see the posture of the combined forces outside, they know that the combined forces are about to launch a general attack. And after a little analysis, they knew that the reason why the combined forces waited until the evening to attack was definitely to use the power of the infrared detector to pull out the remnants of the thunder army that borrowed the jungle as a cover.

So, after some urgent consultation at the top of the Thunder Remnant Army, the Thunder Remnant Army, which had been divided into several waves of hiding, was once again grouped into a large number of groups, and dispersed into twenty squads ranging from seven or eight people to more than a dozen people.

This response of the remnants of the Thunder Army was immediately discovered by the helicopter gunship that had already flown over the jungle and reported to the command of the joint forces with a field walkie-talkie.

After receiving the report from the helicopter gunship, the senior commanders of the joint forces concentrated in the armored command vehicle turned their eyes to Chen Tianyi, who was sitting in the main seat.

Now that the bombardment on the side of the combined forces has not yet begun, the remnants of the Thunder Army sensed the danger. And decisively disperse the personnel to evade, then the next option for the combined forces becomes two. One is to immediately send ground troops into the jungle to eliminate the remnants of the thunder army hiding in the jungle as soon as possible, and the other is to reduce human losses according to the predetermined plan. The air-land joint bombardment will first take a few rounds, and then send ground troops to encircle and suppress them, and then destroy some of the remnants of the Thunder Army.

In the case that the remnants of the Thunder Army have strong reinforcements, and when this reinforcement will come, the joint forces do not know at all, and the two choices of which one to implement will definitely require Chen Tianyi, the real boss of the joint forces, to take the idea.

Facing everyone's gaze, Chen Tianyi pondered for a while, slapped the table and said, "Order all troops." The bombing began according to the original plan, and the helicopter gunships brought out all the people in the thunder for me, and then destroyed them together with the mortars on the position. ”

"Yes." Hearing Chen Tianyi's order, the senior commanders of the joint forces immediately got up to answer the order, and then turned around and left the armored command vehicle, leaving Chen Tianyi and Zhou Qing and the swarthy middle-aged man.

Waiting for everyone's footsteps to leave completely disappeared, Zhou Qing glanced at the swarthy middle-aged man, and then asked Chen Tianyi with some doubts: "Lord of Masks." Why don't you choose to send someone into the jungle immediately, we don't want to destroy the remnants of thunder in the jungle as soon as possible. Are you ready to go to war with the Knights of Michael? Don't you want the casualties to be too high, or do you already know that the Knights of Michael will be here? ”

Shaking his head slightly, Chen Tianyi first denied Zhou Qing's last conjecture: "I don't know, between the remnants of the Thunder Army and the Knights of Michael, communication is maintained by a certain secret satellite route of the US imperialists. I tried my best, but I already noticed that the GPS global positioning system was hacked by the US imperialists. I was wary of my hacker attacks, and I mobilized a large number of electronic troops to protect my network, even with the assistance of No. 1 artificial intelligence and a large amount of computing resources provided by China, I still had no way to hack in and steal information. Angela, on the other hand, was blocked by the US imperialist intelligence network. Even if they joined forces with China's intelligence network, they did not get accurate information. So, when the Knights of Michael will come, I don't know at all. ”

"That ......" Chen Tianyi denied Zhou Qing's conjecture, making Zhou Qing more and more confused.

Seeing this, Chen Tianyi sighed, and then said: "Hey, just because I don't have a bottom, I chose this way, I'd rather be conservative than take risks." I don't know when the Knights of Michael will come, if I order the warriors to go into the jungle to encircle and suppress the remnants of the Thunder, and the Knights of Michael arrive halfway through the encirclement, then in the complex environment of the jungle, the warriors who are not the opponents of the Knights of Michael are even less opponents. Therefore, instead of taking the risk that it may lead to the total annihilation of the coalition forces, it is better to be conservative and kill as many people as possible by bombing. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Qing frowned, and said with some worry: "Then we won't enter the jungle?" However, with the elite level of the remnants of the Thunder Army, it is difficult to completely annihilate the people hiding in the jungle with this kind of bombing with limited accuracy. In addition, what if the Thunder higher-ups saw that the situation was not good, and felt that they could not wait for the Knights of Michael to come to their rescue, and ordered the remnants of the army to protect them and the spies to scatter and break out? With our manpower, we can't lock down the entire jungle, and it will be a problem to let the spy escape. ”

"Of course we'll go into the jungle, but at least we'll have to wait until the number of the remnants of Thunder is reduced to less than a hundred. As for the problem of the remnants of the Thunder breaking through, you don't have to worry about it at all, if you want to break through them, they will break through early. Think about it, what happens to a few people who are left in the wilderness of Africa without a vehicle? Besides, how far can a few people without a car run, how can they hide from us with helicopter gunships? Even if they succeed in escaping, with the current overwhelming net of the China Intelligence Network, as long as the spy arrives in a town with a large number of people, he will be discovered immediately, and without the protection of a large army, the spy will not know how to die. Regarding Zhou Qing's worries, Chen Tianyi waved his hand indifferently.

After listening to Chen Tianyi's explanation, Zhou Qing thought about it for a while, and felt that what Chen Tianyi said made sense, so he closed his mouth and didn't say much, and concentrated on looking at the battle situation outside displayed on the electronic sand table and projection cloth.

A few minutes ago, the senior commanders of the joint forces, with Chen Tianyi's decision, left the armored command vehicle, so the three helicopter gunships hovering over the jungle reported the detected large heat source to the mortar position a few kilometers away, and at the same time selected a target and began to drop bombs downward.

As the first bomb landed and exploded, the original silence in the jungle was broken by the way, and the explosions rang out one after another, smoke and fire rose into the sky, and the three thunder squads of different numbers who were selected as targets dodged the shrapnel attack together with the frightened animals running wildly.

Fortunately, the accuracy of the bombs dropped from a height of thousands of meters was really speechless, and there were very few that could explode ten meters around them. So in this round of bombing, there were nearly 30 people in the three Thunder Squads, and only two unlucky ones were grazed by shrapnel and suffered some skin trauma. Unfortunately, there was not just one round of bombing, but one after another, because the cabin was strapped with heavy objects, about five kilograms and two hundred bags of explosives.

Surrounded by 600 explosives, the three Thunder Squads could only jump up and down in the jungle like monkeys, praying for God's blessing while dodging deadly shrapnel. The so-called line between life and death is to describe this situation.

However, the three Thunder Squads are not lonely, because in addition to the various animals running around the jungle, they are accompanied by their other comrades.

Receiving the coordinates of a large heat source from a helicopter gunship, the ten medium-sized mortars that had just been set up an hour ago couldn't wait to start spewing out hot death invitations.

The mortar shells fired from the joint forces camp were not as powerful and accurate as the three helicopter gunships, and the explosives packs dropped from the air were overwhelming.

As a result, the Thunder Squad, which was within their range, was in bad luck, and almost every mortar salvo resulted in casualties. And when everyone is running for their lives, unless it is just a few minor injuries that do not hinder the movement, there is not much difference between injuries and deaths. Rather, it is more desperate to be injured than to die and not know anything.

Because, the wounded have to watch their comrades abandon themselves and flee for their lives, and they have to watch themselves die of excessive blood loss. The double pain and torture of psychology and body made some warriors who could still move their arms choose to pull out the pistol at their waist and end their lives.

This is the hellish battlefield on earth, shouting that I like war, you can go to any war-torn area, feel this heartfelt fear and despair, and when the time comes, there will be a few people who can shout: "I like war, I love war, war will come soon." ”

The combined air-ground bombardment lasted more than half an hour, and it was not until the explosive packs on the helicopter gunships were lost and the mortars needed to dissipate heat from the barrels.

It is not an easy task for a helicopter gunship that has no explosives bag to quickly fall to the ground to replenish a new explosive package, and at the same time replace a group of people who throw explosive bags, and carry the one-ton explosive bag onto the plane and drop it off the plane.

On the side of the ten mortars, the artillerymen used various methods to reduce the temperature of the barrels, and at the same time let the people who had stuffed the shells for a long time to rest, and at the same time instructed the idle people around them to move the shells from the cars to the designated positions of the artillery positions and put them away.

Even the remnants of the thunder army, where more than 30 people died, stopped running, gulped water and ate compressed biscuits, and quietly recovered their strength.

They knew very well that there could not be only one bombardment, and then they still had to run for their lives, waiting for the reinforcements from the top to arrive. (To be continued.) )
