Chapter 490: The Last Resistance
The battle of Chiyan against the last resistance force of the African land began on time at eight o'clock in the morning.
The base of the Python Forest is only five kilometers away from the rainforest hidden by the Iron Legion.
The scorching sun was shining, and several sentries of the Ironclad Legion were still patrolling the perimeter.
They have been wandering around the area for more than three months, and their food reserves have been depleted, and they live by hunting antelopes and wild deer from the nearby grasslands.
But with a team of more than 1,400 people, the consumption of food is enormous, and the food ecological chain on the edge of the rainforest has been severely damaged, and species have migrated in large numbers, and there is very little food to be found.
"If this continues, we will not be killed by the enemy, but we will be starved to death!"
"Alas, this is war, who made Red Flame's strength so strong, I think, why don't you surrender?"
A sentry whispered, and the brothers beside him lowered their heads in silence when they heard this.
They had seen the atrocities of Red Flame, where villages were burned and looted, and children and women were used as slaves.
Men either die at gunpoint, are forcibly conscripted into the army, or become slaves, and their lives are like struggling in hell.
Surrender and rebellion are their only two choices, and at the moment, they prefer the former.
At this moment, boom, the ground seemed to tremble slightly, and several sentries looked up vigilantly, and their jaws almost dropped.
"It's an enemy attack, and the army of the python forest has launched a big attack!"
"Oh my God, this huge team, there are as many as 5,000 people, it's more terrifying than any before, hurry, report to the leader!"
The sentinels panicked and ran into the rainforest.
Within 500 meters of the edge of the rainforest, the Ironclad Legion has built three defenses.
Trenches, earthen walls, minefields.
With the help of Tarzan and the monkeys, they defused the enemy's offensive many times, but they could not run.
The rainforest behind them was the only natural danger they could survive, and once they left here, Red Flame's artillery fire would completely crush them.
At this time, the situation, in the eyes of everyone, is only a stalemate that has been prolonged, and death is only a matter of time.
However, last night, a Nighthawk Legion suddenly appeared, and with its strong combat effectiveness, it actually repelled all two rounds of enemy attacks, so that the soldiers of the Iron Armor Legion suddenly saw the hope of victory.
But early this morning, all the brothers in the rainforest, seeing the mighty army coming, knew that this would be the last battle.
If you win, you live, and if you lose, you die, and there is a line between life and death.
"This should be the full strength of the Python Forest, and it has mobilized people from other bases, and Red Flame is really coming!"
"Hehe, it is estimated that the boss smashed the Sun God Gold Mine that angered Chiyan, and he couldn't sit still!"
"I don't know how the boss is now, copy the guy, get ready to fight!"
The Baron, Ghost Hand, Tarzan, and Monkey are all in one, including the leader of the Iron Legion, Connor and the blonde Izawa, forming the core leadership team.
The enemy's attack was rapid, and the vanguard of more than a dozen armored vehicles had reached the edge of the rainforest, and the dense minions in the rear were relying on armored cover, eyeing the tiger.
The battle line was lined up for more than 500 meters, and the rumbling sound of mortars exploded in an instant.
The weapons and equipment brought by the Nighthawk Legion were very sufficient, even if they fought for three days and three nights, it was more than enough.
The two armies are separated by a bubbling inland river, and you come and go to engage in fierce confrontations.
"Hey, do you see, they don't dare to take a step forward at all, our trenches are solid, even if there are many people in this group of scum, they can only sigh with hope!"
The blonde Izawa manipulated the machine gun, fought with pride, and even used a very knowledgeable and upper-class language.
The addition of the Nighthawks gave the Ironclad Legion great motivation, and their artillery response was quite ferocious, and they did not fear the battle at all.
"Kill this group of enemies, the python forest is nothing, and it will soon become our camp!"
Blonde Izawa has a very rich imagination, and with everyone thinking about survival, he has already imagined the beauty of victory.
However, Red Flame's strength was far beyond his imagination after all.
"Look, it's a helicopter gunship, there are more than a dozen of them, just a test just now, and the enemy is only launching a formal attack now!"
A sentry pointed to the sky and exclaimed in despair.
Under the current combat level, the addition of air firepower is undoubtedly fatal bad news for the officers and men of the legion.
"This is an Apache AH-69 gunship, known as a tank hunter, is the masterpiece of Midi, it seems that Chiyan must have the support of Midi, otherwise, how can this top-level equipment be obtained?"
The baron said.
No one expected that Chiyan would have this kind of top-level armed helicopter, which belongs to the private goods of various countries and is not sold to the outside world.
The Apache Baron knows very well that he is not only a tank hunter, but also an armored vehicle with ease, known as the air supremacy, and this thing bombs repeatedly, and it will soon be able to disintegrate the minefields they have planted and the two defense systems in an instant.
The air and land attacked, and the enemy's chariots had crossed the river beach and attacked the rainforest strongly.
Da-da-da, whoosh-whoosh.
Ten Apache helicopters, painted with majestic machine guns, each with six air-to-land missiles, methodically bombarded the Legion's defensive lines.
"The trenches at ten o'clock were blown up by the enemy!"
"At three o'clock, a big hole was also blown up."
"Damn, Brother No. 100 of our company, more than half of them are killed and wounded!"
One bad news after another came, and the suddenly difficult legions of air and land were caught off guard, and the iron armor almost killed nearly two companies and more than 100 lives in five minutes.
"Retreat, move closer to the depths of the rainforest, the enemy's armored vehicles cannot drive into the rainforest, we can only start a jungle field battle!"
Tarzan shouted loudly, armed with heavy machine guns, and covered with fire, so that the brothers in front of him quickly withdrew.
Jungle field warfare is what they are best at, but hiding in the dense forest, although the armored car can't drive in, the helicopter gunship can still come in handy.
Their situation is clearly passive, and the scales of victory and defeat are tilting at an unbearable speed.
"Behold, this is the scum of the Iron Armor and the Nighthawk Legion, completely vulnerable!"
"Haha, you don't have to wait until sunset at all, within four hours, the battle will be over, and I want them all to kneel at my feet."
"They may understand today why Lord Chiyan is the overlord of the Non-Land and crushed this group of wastes so easily!"
"Devils, rush, stab men to death, play with women, and enjoy the beauty of strength!"
Four people stood proudly on the armored car and shouted.
They are the leaders of this attack, the absolute henchmen of Gangshi, and the high-level core figures of the Red Flame Legion, known as ghosts, crying, wolves, and howling.
The four of them are quite cruel, and they have always crushed everything and showed no mercy in carrying out their tasks, and today's situation is what they expected.
The alliance between the Iron Armor and the Nighthawk quickly retreated deep into the rainforest.
The bullets of the enemy in the rear gradually followed, and rockets and mortars were fired incessantly.
The Apache helicopter above always flies at an altitude of 50 meters, uses machine guns to open the way, transmits real-time intelligence, and the combat system is quite perfect.
"Brothers, this is the last battle, although the situation is not good, we may not lose, we know the terrain in this area, let's split the five strands and fight against that group of devils!"
Tarzan said loudly, ordering the four brothers of the dark night and the blonde Ize to each bring a group of men and horses to start a jungle counterattack.
Hearing this, everyone looked up at the ten helicopters in the sky, worried and hurried.
They are not afraid of field battles, but there are those nasty guys who have been hovering above their heads, and they can't exert their full strength at all.
Heaven and earth must be guarded, and the situation is extremely passive.
"I have developed a new set of surface-to-air anti-aircraft guns, which should be perfect for fighting helicopters, but those things need time to be adjusted, and we simply don't have time!" Ghost Hand said in annoyance.
As soon as the words fell, another round of machine-gun fire came.
The enemy pursued them so fiercely that they didn't give them the slightest respite.
Although the terrain in the rainforest is not familiar to them, they have helicopters to transmit information in real time, and in addition, they are more than twice as numerous as their own.
The four brothers in the dark night turned their heads to look around, and the soldiers of the Ironclad Legion were discouraged and their morale was extremely low.
The two armies fought, and then they fell into decline and exhaustion.
If you can't even raise your morale, how can you fight down?
