Chapter 103: The Roar of Hellfire
The emergence of the Mi-24 helicopter gunship has brought great changes to the entire battle situation.
Before the Mi-24 helicopter gunship appeared, although the two divisions relied on superior forces and weapons to suppress the rebels and monsters, the battle between the two sides was extremely fierce, and even when the rebels were suppressed the most, they did not back down by the impact of the monsters.
But the moment the Mi-24 gunship appeared over the town, the whole situation sided with government forces.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! Sixteen Mi-24 helicopter gunships fired Hellfire missiles at the monsters on the ground, and the missiles hit their respective targets with a loud screech and exploded.
The Hellfire Missile is indeed worthy of being the king of killing, with powerful explosive power and penetrating power, allowing monsters to inflict heavy damage even if they don't hit the vital point of the head.
What's even more terrifying is that after the missile explodes, a small armor-piercing bullet will burrow into the monster's body for a secondary explosion, shattering all the organs in the monster's body and incinerating it, so the monster hit by the hellfire will never be spared.
In less than a quarter of an hour of the Mi-24 gunship, nearly thirty monsters died in the Hellfire.
At this moment, four or five lizard-type monsters capable of breathing fireballs suddenly raised their heads and spat out attack fireballs at the Mi-24 gunship.
A Mi-24 helicopter gunship could not dodge, but was instantly hit and exploded, and the entire helicopter fell to the ground obliquely in smoke.
"Boom", the Mi-24 helicopter gunship that fell to the ground exploded again, killing and injuring the government troops on the ground, and the helicopter itself became a pile of wreckage.
"Attention! Note! The wingmen listened to my orders, paid attention to the lizard-type monsters that spit fireballs, increased the flight altitude, and first concentrated on destroying the lizard-type monsters with long-range attack capabilities. Seeing the enemy's monster with long-range attacks, Colonel Pulkhazi, the leader of the helicopter gunship squadron, chose to eliminate the long-range attack force that threatened the Mi-24 gunship first.
After receiving the order, the remaining fifteen Mi-24 helicopter gunships quickly raised their flight altitude to about one kilometer above the air, and at the same time each looked for lizard-type monsters with long-range attack capabilities to shoot.
After adjusting its combat methods, the Mi-24 helicopter gunship squadron once again gained a suppressive advantage, and after eliminating the lizard-type monsters, it continued to attack the monsters.
As the Mi-24 helicopter gunship continued to strike in the air, the monsters without long-range attack power could only be beaten passively, and the ordinary personnel of the rebel army were even more chaotic under the strong suppression of the government army.
There was another barrage of bombardment, and the number of monsters was reduced to less than forty.
At that moment, all the monsters suddenly began to turn around without warning, and fled towards the rebel defenses, fleeing so fast that they disappeared into the end of the street in the blink of an eye.
"What, you said the monster retreated?" In the military tent, the first person to shout after hearing the news was not Beckzad, but Major General Rezain, who had always been calm and calm.
"Yes, General Rezain!" The signal soldier of the division headquarters who reported said loudly.
"Are you sure?" Rezain was extremely cautious about the report, reaffirming.
"Yes general, Brigadier General Belevand, deputy commander of the Sixth Division on the front line, confirmed that all the monsters have been defeated, and there are less than forty monsters left." The communications soldier straightened his chest and said loudly.
"Okay, you go down." After repatriating the communications corps, Rezain let out a sigh of relief, a slightly excited look on his face.
The rest of the generals in the tent were also overjoyed at this time, and Bekzad couldn't help laughing.
"Rezain, as you expected, the rebel monsters didn't exceed the limit of one hundred and fifty." Beckzad laughed out loud.
"The battle reached a critical point, and the enemy was inexplicably defeated and retreated, indicating that the rebels were weak in follow-up." Major General Farozan's face was also quite relaxed.
"There are less than forty monsters, the general trend has been decided, and the rebels can't turn the tables anymore!" Major General Temurian also breathed a sigh of relief, and the perennial stubborn northern rebels might be able to be completely eliminated in this battle.
"Don't relax easily, I think let the two divisions press again, and see if the rebels still have tricks." Rezain was much more relaxed, but still cautious.
"Well, Major General Rezain is right, we can't be blindly optimistic now, and we must not let our guard down until the rebels are eliminated." Major General Nekonan nodded.
After saying that, he handed down an order to let the 5th and 6th Divisions advance oppressively, and it was necessary to completely annihilate the rebels in Dama Town.
"By the way, how are the rest of the ministries doing now?" After Neiko finished his order, he asked Rezain.
"The three regiments of the Eighth and Fourth Divisions are already outside the town of Dama, the seventh division of the reserve division has also assembled three kilometers away, and the three regiments that raided the area east of Lamander have also moved closer to the town of Dama." Rezain replied.
"Well, I was going to block the south gate of Dama town and drive the rebels to the north, so that the rebels could join up with the rebels in another town, and annihilate them all within the northern defense line of Kamande. Now it seems that all the enemy's main forces are in Dama Town, and the other town is only a sporadic force, so I am ready to change my strategy and besiege Dama Town and destroy the rebels in Dama Town. "Nekonan made his suggestion.
"That's what I mean." Rezain, who was on the side, also made his point clear.
Nekonan looked at the rest of the generals and nodded in agreement.
"Okay, quickly transfer the 8th Division and the 4th Division to the north of Dama Town, block the route of the rebels in Dama Town to flee north, and let the three regiments that raided immediately join the division headquarters to jointly defend the north gate."
Over time, the situation continued to develop in favor of government forces. The 5th and 6th Divisions of the government army did not have the attack of monsters, and the resistance to advance was much smaller, and the counterattack of the rebel ordinary armed forces alone could not stop the attack of the government army at all.
Despite the fierce fighting between the two sides, the rebels' control in the town of Dama continued to shrink. It took only two hours for government forces to reduce the area controlled by the rebels in the town of Dama to a third.
However, even though the rebel situation became more and more passive, the forty monsters that escaped never reappeared, and it seemed that the rebels had given up the strategy of using the monsters to charge into battle.
At the same time, the north gate of Dama Town had also been completely blocked by the 8th Division and the 4th Division, which had joined the three regiments of the raid.
......
In a basement in the area controlled by the rebels in the third north of Dama, a slender man in a gray robe was sitting quietly in a chair, and next to him was also a lean-looking man in gray. The two of them didn't look anything special, except for a bronze six-pointed star mark on their chests.
"Qi Yu Imperial Beast Envoy, the government army in the town has advanced to less than five hundred meters away from here, and the north gate has also been blocked by two divisions of the government army, and now the situation is urgent, please ask the Imperial Beast Envoy to make a decision as soon as possible." A rebel officer suddenly walked into the basement and bowed down to report.
"Oh, then let your men open the north gate, lead 3,000 troops to break through to the north, and then bring the government troops from the north into the town, and let them flank the front and rear." The lean-looking gray-clothed man commanded with an expressionless face.
"Yes, in accordance with the decree of the Honorable Envoy." The rebel officer didn't even have the slightest intention of refuting the Grey Man's suicidal order, and left the basement after receiving the order.
"Looks like the fish is about to take the bait." Looking at the rebel officer who went out, the slender man in gray sneered.
"Hehe, the situation under Dazun is seamless, but it's really overkill to be used in such a third-rate small country." The lean-looking man in gray also sneered.
"Otherwise, this time Dazun's layout in such a small country is just to use this as a testing ground for the use of beast soldiers*. The Sect Master and the Great Venerables have a long-term vision! The slender gray-clothed man showed a look of adoration in his eyes at the mention of the sect master and the great venerable.
"Well, then we have to behave well, don't let the sect master and the great venerable ones down." The lean-looking man in gray chimed in.
"It's like this, it's just that those stupid pigs of the government army don't know that they are in a desperate situation, haha." After saying that, the two gray-clothed men burst out laughing.
......
"There are rebels breaking through at the North Gate? How many people are there? Hearing the news of the rebel breakout, Nekonan immediately questioned the communications officer who had come to report in detail.
"There are about 3,000 people, who have been beaten back by the fourth and eighth divisions of our army, and the fourth and eighth divisions have taken the opportunity to attack the north gate, forming an encirclement with the fifth and sixth divisions entering the south gate." The Signal Corps stood straight and reported loudly.
"Okay, it seems that the rebels have run out of skills, and they have forcibly broken through despite the blockade of the two divisions at the north gate, and the overall situation of this battle is almost decided." Nekonan, who has always been cautious, also felt that the battle had been won at this time.
Major General Nekonan said this, and several people present deeply agreed that under the blockade of the army, they would open the city gates and flee north in panic, and it was obvious that the rebels were already panicking.
When the side that has no fighting spirit and is at a disadvantage, and is surrounded by others, it seems that in the eyes of several generals, it will perish sooner or later.
"In that case, let the three forward regiments that are on standby outside the south gate of the city withdraw to the rear for repair." Rezain suddenly mentioned the three forward regiments that fought to the death.
At the mention of the three forward regiments, everyone in the military tent had dark eyes. They had just received a casualty report that the three regiments had lost nearly two and a half thousand men in this battle, that is, nearly two regiments of casualties.
In addition to the heavy casualties among the soldiers, the commander of the 8th Mixed Regiment, Colonel Ashkan, was killed in battle, the commander of the 10th Commando Regiment, Colonel Ibrahimi, lost a right arm, and only the commander of the 15th Heavy Infantry Regiment, Colonel Prady, remained uninjured.
In addition, the three regiments suffered heavy losses in heavy weapons, the tank battalion of the 15th Heavy Infantry Regiment was completely destroyed, and the light cavalry battalion of the 8th Mixed Regiment lost more than half.
"After the end of this battle, we should give the three regiments a good award." Major General Temurian suggested.
"This is natural, but before that, we must find out the person who controls the monster, even if it is to dig three feet into the ground." Major General Nekonan gritted his teeth.
