The demonic bats hit by the anti-aircraft guns tumbled and fell, and because of the low altitude, these flying behemoths did not die instantly. They opened their fanged mouths, flapped their broken wings, and began to crawl on the ground.

And then soon such a beast was beaten into a sieve by machine-gun bullets. The human soldier's bullets were so ferocious that they rained down on every monster that could move their bodies.

However, those demons whose magic was strong enough to use a barrier began to approach the defensive positions where humans were stationed little by little. At a distance of 150 meters, it is very difficult for individual weapons to penetrate these targets.

Some of the demonic behemoths are up to three meters tall, stout and carry heavy shields. The shield is also engraved with a magic inscription, which is literally like a tank. They covered the advance of the demon infantry behind them, and were more effective than the magic legions of the puppet empire.

These infantry armed with huge shields marched forward step by step, and from time to time their flesh and blood were blurred by mines, or directly blown to pieces by artillery shells. Still, they were stubbornly advancing, and the human position seemed to them to be close at hand.

A rocket spread over the heads of these demon soldiers, scattering countless small bombs. These bombs then fell within the demonic phalanx, blooming into countless flame-forming flowers.

At a distance, Iran Hill's cluster bombs were so effective at washing the ground that many demon soldiers were drowned in the explosion.

But in front of them, those huge shield monsters were still a little closer to the human defensive position.

……

In the busy but surprisingly orderly headquarters of the 15th Army, civilian officers and operational staff officers were watching the entire battlefield.

"It's similar to the main tactics of the puppet empire encountered by the 1st Army, and the demons' combat power seems to be stronger than them." Staring at the map in front of him, the old general Madias said with a solemn expression.

He didn't expect the other party's attack to be so sharp in the first stage, although he had probably judged that the demon's combat power would be similar to that of the main force of the puppet empire, but he still had a certain luck mentality.

After all, his 15th Army was not the 1st Army, which had been in the field for a long time, and he was also worried that his troops would be instantly routed and that serious problems would arise when facing an opponent of equal strength alone.

You must know that behind him, there is the essence of the empire's industry, not to mention the factory dock in Ferry City for the time being, and then the Mayne behind is also full of factories and many military enterprises.

Mayne was looking back, it was the Imperial capital of Seris, and if something went wrong here and the city was attacked, Madias, as a commander, felt that it was really not a pity to die.

"The information of these demon forces is completely useless! The other party did not use a low-level creature like a demon dog, but used a higher-level demon! A staff officer threw away the report in his hand and sighed with a depressed face.

The low-level demon information collected in Griken before was destined to play no obvious role in this battle, except for the overwhelming demon bats that were recorded demons, the combat troops that the demons invested were completely different from Griken's combat troops.

"He really took care of us! Use such a strong force as soon as you come up! Next to this staff officer, another officer guarded the sand table, and according to the report, pushed the demon troops on the beach forward again.

"It's the first time I've seen demon warships along the coastline, and they have magical attacks that can cover our positions...... Added a lot of trouble to our defenses. The commander of the artillery unit said equally depressedly.

"The second salvo of rocket artillery is ready!" In the distance, an officer reported loudly.

"Let the armored forces strike back in advance! The dispersed 201 Tank Division went into battle! Also, push the self-propelled anti-aircraft guns to the front! Let them shoot flat to support the defensive line! Pressing the anachronistic sword at his waist, the old general opened his mouth and ordered.

"But...... If the other side puts in more air forces, we will ......," the staff officer reminded Madias.

"Tell the Air Force, let them increase the suppression of the demon air targets on the front line! There is no other way. Madias said fiercely.

……

"Swoop! Swoop! "Over the battlefield, the Il-2 attack planes that rushed to the front line were full of bombs, and at the height of the clouds, one by one, the oblique wings began to rapidly reduce the altitude. The Elan Hill planes, with their wings painted with golden eagle emblems, roared down from the sky and began to attack the ant-like demons beneath their feet.

They join the fray, slaughtering demonic forces on the battlefield with 30mm cannons. Dozens of Il-2 attack planes swept past the demon's phalanx, leaving a bloody trail in the phalanx.

Then, more attack aircraft joined the slaughter. The first three Il-2 attack planes swept past the demons, but the fourth attack aircraft had a huge demonic bat hanging on it.

The plane eventually shattered and crashed into the crowd of demons, exploding with a dazzling fire.

Not all fighters can calmly open fire, and the demon forces are desperately trying to prevent these human aircraft from slaughtering their allies. However, they still did not have much effect, and very few Il-2 attack aircraft were shot down.

However, the desperate attacks of these demon bats still prevented some attack planes from dropping bombs, relieving the pressure on the ground forces.

Next to this firelight, a series of explosions of bombs dropped by the Il-2 attack aircraft exploded, drowning out the dense demon soldiers who were shouting at the sky.

It's a pity that these temporarily transferred Il-2 attack planes are, after all, old planes from the Second World War era, and the ammunition they can carry is limited after all, and after a few minutes of assault, they ran out of ammunition and had to return to leave the battlefield ahead of schedule.

There were so many targets on the ground that the fighter pilots were forced to keep firing until they ran out of ammunition, despite the fact that the pilots had done everything they could.

P-51 Mustang fighters also joined the pack to cover ground attacks, skimming the battlefield at low altitudes in pursuit of slow-moving demon bats.

Although the number of demon bats is still quite large, there are not many demon troops in the sky that can threaten the Iran Hill Air Force.

At this time, five AC-130s appeared in the sky, and these newly improved new ground attack aircraft immediately showed their terrifying lethality on this kind of battlefield.

"Power up the Vulcan! When you find a target, fire immediately! The officer in charge of directing the gunners on the plane, wearing goggles, shouted an order to his men.

With his command, the long chain of Vulcan cannons began to squirm forward, and the six-barreled Vulcan cannons on the flanks of the plane began to rotate rapidly, spewing dazzling fire.

"Squeak...... ......Then, because it was so fast, the cannon sounded tirelessly, and tracer bullets connected from the flanks of the AC-130 gunboat to the demonic phalanx.

"Death is circling! Use the Death Circling Tactic! Smash this demonic phalanx to pieces! Pressing the headset, the pilot of the AC-130 gunboat confirmed his flight path: "Cover us!" Cover us! ”

The pilots of the P-51 Mustang fighters following the AC-130s answered in an understanding and began to disperse to intercept the demon bats that were trying to charge at the gunboats.

The firepower of these AC-130s is terrifying, and the angles are tricky. The attacks from the top down are endless, and it is simply like a meat grinder.

Among the dozen or so phalanxes of demon troops that kept advancing, one of the phalanxes attacked by AC-130 collapsed in an instant, and although the remaining demons still tried to attack, the chaotic charge that lost cover could only become a living target for humans.

Countless tracer bullets fell from the sky, densely connected in a straight line, and the place swept by the 20mm Vulcan cannon was full of black blood, as well as mutilated corpses.

The hard armor could not withstand the impact of this caliber artillery, and the huge demon became the ideal target for 20 mm caliber shells, and there was no waste of ammunition in the dense crowd, and all these Irlanhill gunners had to do was keep firing.

They had never poured ammunition at such a whim, and the previous attack on the Jesno Empire could only be said to be a small test compared to the attack in front of them.

"These human beings...... Much more powerful than I expected...... How did they become so difficult in such a short period of time? Standing behind the battlements of the castle, the demonic general frowned slightly, and his handsome face still maintained the so-called demeanor it should have.

"Prince Saluks asked the puppet empire to investigate...... The country, called Iran Hill, began to grow stronger about five years ago. The dark shadow behind him replied respectfully.

"Let the main forces attack! All the army is attacking! I don't want to spend so much time on the beach! I'm going to have dinner in this human city in front of me! The general commanded coldly.

"Yes! Your Excellency, General! The shadow receded slightly.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Soon, the dull sound of war drums began to sound throughout the sea, and more demon warships began to rush towards the shoreline.

Unlike the previous demon warships, these battleships did not have the slightest intention of slowing down, and rushed straight to the stranded area, looking like they were going to run aground directly on the beach.

And on these demon warships, there was no longer a smooth deck, and one by one turret-like devices began to turn, aiming a magic array directly in front of them at the Elanhill Line, which was constantly firing.
