[[[CP|W:847|H:447|A:L|U:http://file2.biquge.info/chapters/20147/15/3072028635410253508426250347978.jpg

"Boom! ”

The scorching flames burned all the rebels in the buildings in front of the soldiers, and after clearing one house of enemies, the soldiers of the 2nd Sector continued to advance towards the core line of the rebels in Ishbal in the Central District.

"Dada-da-da!!"

"Smack-boom!"

No enemy firing point or fortress could stop the soldiers' attack, and no enemy defense line made of flesh and blood could resist the attack of the army of Amestores.

"The Alchemist of Flame is here! All retreat to find cover! ”

"Bang-boom!"

Because they had learned to fight after more than two months of fierce fighting, they had learned to fight in this kind of urban terrain, and of course because they had a human weapon - Lieutenant Colonel Mastan, the alchemist of flames.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Each squadron on the front line is equipped with a direct-fire cannon to destroy the enemy's positions, and each squad can call in long-range artillery to destroy the enemy's fortifications.

Although the fortifications built by the Ishbals in the central area were very strong, they were only relative, and under the careful arrangement of the fortifications arranged by Estes, under the crushing of dense artillery fire and alchemy in all directions, the central area was like a mulberry leaf that was quickly eaten by the hungry silkworms crawling from the south.

Patches of fortifications were set on fire and destroyed by artillery fire.

The rebels were killed, burned and buried in the rubble.

Under the blows of the attacking troops armed with heavy fire to the teeth, the defensive line of the fanatics of Ishbal was quickly washed away by the waves like a sandcastle on the beach.

The soldiers of the 2nd district continued to advance after clearing the frontal enemy.

The same thing is happening not only in the 2nd sector, but also on the entire southern front.

After three days of preparation and planning. On the third day of arrival in the 2nd zone in Mastan.

After being fully resupplied and rested, supplemented by a full fourteen battalions and supported by a large number of artillery units, the troops of the 11th, 12th, 13th, 1st, and 2nd Annihilation Zones under the command of the new commander of the Southern Raiders Army, Colonel Estes, were fully equipped with morale. A general assault was launched on the core of Ishbal in front of the southern sector.

The long-range artillery subordinate to the entire Southern Sector Unit used the accurate firing coordinate map made by Estes to carry out concentrated and focused strikes on enemy strongholds in the city.

The offensive strength of each squadron was the same as in the previous Sector 1, with one or two large-caliber direct-fire cannons. Equipped with individual radio stations to the squad, play the role of the squad group and the role of snipers to launch annihilation operations in the central area.

Using enhanced artillery firepower and the strength of three powerful alchemists, the Central District was annihilated, modeled after the 1st and 13th Districts.

"Da Da Da!!"

"Enemy fire points! Sniper kill him! Heavy presses! Call in artillery to destroy it! ”

After the long-range artillery had almost wiped out the enemy's surface positions, the cannon of the direct-fire artillery was pushed up and the entire structure was completely destroyed.

During this period, snipers and infantry had to keep an eye out for enemy skirmishers and cover the destruction of artillery units.

Wait until you have completely destroyed the building in front of you before moving on.

Destroying a house requires a lot of artillery shells, but at this time, the last thing that the Amestories army south of Ishbal lacked was artillery and shells.

Of course......

"Bang---!"

There were also the small mushroom clouds that were deafening but represented the light of victory and the gale from the bitter explosion.

"Commander Estes is here! Brothers, look for cover! ”

The cannon was the companion of the soldiers, and the aqua blue hair, the deafening mushroom cloud that accompanied her through the battlefield was the beacon of the goddess of victory and the heart that led all the soldiers of the Southern Front to victory and triumph.

"Commander! Enemy large bunker fortifications have been spotted ahead! At least 100 men were stationed inside, armed with at least eight machine guns and snipers......"

"Bang-bang-bang!"

With a flick of his finger, a shocking explosion passed, and the bunker fortifications in front of him were a pile of collapsed ruins, except for the rubble, the human body and flesh were blown to the point that even the scum was gone.

"What do you say? I didn't hear clearly~"

With an innocent and happy face, he unplugged the wooden earplugs, and Estes asked the captain beside him with a smile.

“………… No, it's okay already. ”

That's it, any fortifications become meaningless under the extermination of Estes's extermination of a qiē terrorist explosion.

Wooden, stone, or paper, are just as weak, under the urging of the dual energy sources of Eastern Alchemy and Western Alchemy and the three hybrid alchemy arrays.

A general fortification is meaningless, if you want to stop her Cangyan Explosion Technique, at least you need a solid reinforced concrete fortification, and in a place like Ishbal that can't even produce cement, there is nothing that can stop her progress.

"Rush! Soldiers! The glory and exploits of the battlefield are just around the corner! Under the leadership of my generation! Attack the enemy! ”

And on the left flank, the soldiers of the 11th district also launched a fierce attack on the enemy under the leadership of Colonel Gran.

Dense firepower and powerful alchemy, you sing and I will appear.

The speed was no slower than that of the second sector that Mastan was in charge of supporting.

Old man Glen is not only an alchemist, but also an excellent soldier and commander, and he has a very good command ability.

Coupled with his cannon alchemy that is suitable for urban siege, it simply strengthens the entire army.

The all-out offensive on the entire southern front was huge and earth-shattering, and the routine was fixed and unremarkable, but it was so effective.

Under Estes' idea of 'city annihilation', all buildings and fortifications that would allow the rebels to hide were completely razed.

The living space of street warfare, which the Ishbals excelled at, was completely razed by artillery.

It became a battlefield of ruins.

It became the home of the regular army.

"There are so many ruins! Need to be cleared! ”

"Sting! All right! ”

And those stone buildings that have fallen have alchemists refining them into the ground, restoring them to the ground, becoming part of the earth.

The alchemists of the five districts were used by Estes as a logistics cleaning force, and the imperfect buildings were completely flattened.

Regularizing the land and the road became the task of the alchemists under Estes.

Compared to combat, most alchemists are good at this kind of earthwork.

Sure enough, under this arrangement of Estes, the occupied area in the south of the city was quickly filled in and turned into a large flat road without obstacles.

The cars and cannons of the Amestorius Army can be pulled directly to the front line along the road driven by these alchemists.

Wounded soldiers on the front line can also be quickly withdrawn from the front line to the rear, returned by truck, and treated. And the ammunition needed at the front line can be driven directly to the front line and distributed to soldiers.

The alleys of the city on which the Ishbals depended were destroyed by cannons, filled in by alchemy, and turned into large roads and peaceful places.

It became the world of the regular army.

Under the idea of artillery heavy firepower, human weapons open the way, infantry presses in, and alchemists build roads to level the land.

The army of Amestories south of the city marched northward.

In less than a week, more than half of the central district was annihilated.

The entire south of the city has been turned into flat land, flat land in the true sense of the word.

The entire Ishbal ring of defense was completely broken, and the rebel forces in the east and west of the city were about to be completely divided, and the rebels' defense system began to crumble.

Under such an offensive, it is believed that in less than a week, the complete general resistance of the Ishbals will collapse.

And what Estes had feared from the beginning finally didn't happen.

Looking at the big map, the vanguard of his own troops was only two days away from the Saida district.

It only takes two days for Estes' troops to get through the central district and reach the Saida district.

You can rescue teachers and students.

At the current pace of advancement, the troops in the sixth district should still have four days before they reach the Saida district where the teacher is located.

Victory is in sight, and now it really is in sight.
