On the other hand, when the drone was lifted into the air and scanned the cars along the road, there was some confusion among the few pedestrians and vehicles on the road, after all, the government army had not used such things to scan directly along the road during inspections.

Some of the vehicles and pedestrians quickly turned off the road, down to the houses and paths on either side of the road, or into the wilderness to avoid the strange flying machines that made a low humming mechanical sound in mid-air, and whether there was anything wrong with them, most were just terrified of what they didn't understand.

However, the actions of those people brought chaos.

Several government soldiers mistakenly thought that an attacker had attacked the checkpoint after seeing the behavior of pedestrians and vehicles — the checkpoint had already been attacked several times, and most of the people who had been deployed there had been killed, and the newly recruited soldiers were often in a state of nervous collapse for fear that they too would become part of the death list - the movement of pedestrians and vehicles was touching their nerves.

Several machine guns opened fire, several civilian vehicles still on the road were shot, the windshield shattered, the flesh inside the car was blurred, and several officers were about to drink the soldiers who had fired, when a huge fireball rose in the distance of the road, and the sound of a violent explosion then reached the ears of everyone at the checkpoint.

"It's ...... The fuel tank was hit? A young-looking government soldier muttered to himself that it was his first time on the battlefield, and that in this state of confusion, he could not tell the difference between a tank explosion and other explosions.

"How could it be a fuel tank explosion! The explosion of the fuel tank is not so powerful! The government non-commissioned officer on the side yelled, "That's a suicide car bomb that was hit!" ”

The three GDI drones were not caught up in the explosion, but only lost control a little from the air flow generated by the explosion, but quickly recovered under the control of the operator and continued to fly towards the location of the explosion. They will scan the blast site and confirm that the area is safe before infantry comes to check the situation up close.

However, before they could get close to the explosion site, several armed pickup trucks with anti-aircraft guns in their carriages rushed out from both sides of the road and opened fire on three drones.

In order to get close to observe the details of the explosion point, the three drones flew very low, and the distance from the ground was not more than 300 meters, although the clones operating the drones were also prepared for possible attacks, but they did not expect that there would be many anti-aircraft guns in ambush at such a close position at the checkpoint, and the people who used these anti-aircraft guns seemed to be very experienced in anti-aircraft shooting, and in the face of the concentrated fire of multiple anti-aircraft guns, the three drones that were too late to dodge were shot down one after another, instead of jet engines but using rotors to fly.

The drone was shot down, although Liu Yan was a little painful, but at the same time he was relieved, although it was a pity to lose a rare scanning drone like this, but the enemy finally appeared in front of him, compared to not knowing when it would appear and have been in a suffocating state of tension, now it will be more relaxed.

After dropping down the three GDI drones, the armed pickups that rushed out turned around and planned to hide back in the scattered houses next to the highway - two Apache gunships had already taken off and began to fly towards them - although these armed pickups with anti-aircraft guns were clearly used by armed personnel to defend against those air killers, but if they really wanted to use anti-aircraft guns to engage professional gunships head-on, they were looking for death, and the armed personnel with considerable combat experience were not so impulsive.

Shooting down your own drone and wanting to run, of course, this kind of thing can't be so cheap.

Before the armed pickups could escape, a few points of light sank into their bodies, blasting half of the pickup into a fireball. The clones didn't hesitate, and at the same time as the drone was shot down, they began to use the advanced fire control system equipped with the equipment to lock on to the pickup trucks from afar, and then opened fire to destroy half of the pickup trucks as the other side prepared to flee.

Then, a step later, helicopter gunships, using anti-tank missiles, destroyed the remaining pickups. An attack seemed to have been defused in advance.

However, the serious expressions of the government veterans proved that this was only the beginning - before the fragments of the exploded pickup truck hit the ground, the screech of shells could be heard in the sky, and several mortar shells landed near the checkpoint with relative accuracy, blowing several government soldiers away, and even a shell fell next to a clone heavy armored infantryman!

Fortunately, the technical department did not do anything perfunctory when designing the K-type armor, of course, it may also be because the power armor used by the clones has not shrunk in materials, the mortar shell did not cause damage to the heavily armored infantry, and the power armor itself is only partially damaged by external equipment.

Subsequently, the artillery radar installed by the government military at the checkpoint calculated the position of the mortar shells through the trajectory of the mortar shells, and the government army's own mortars counterattacked those coordinates.

"Don't you usually patrol and inspect the residential areas on both sides of the road?" While he was a little surprised by the swift response of the local government forces, Liu Yan was also shocked that the rebels were so close to the checkpoint, which was simply another way of conniving at the rebels' expansion and activities.

"Because that's useless!" Over the radio, Colonel Callum replied, "In every attack, we have searched the perimeter of the attack, but we have never succeeded in capturing those attackers!" Most of the surrounding residents will not cooperate with the actions of the government forces, but will cover up the whereabouts of the rebels, so we have not been able to eradicate them, and let those traitors continue to cause attacks on the outskirts of the city! ”

"Well, I knew there was more than one reason for this mess here." Thinking of Syria, the suburbs of the capital were controlled by rebels in the past, and now a similar situation occurs here, which is not something unthinkable, Liu Yan can only stop accusing anything, "However, the local rebels have only carried out various attacks on the government army, but they did not choose to capture the city like in the previous war in the Middle East, which is probably because their strength is not enough to hold the city after capturing it, right?" ”

"We think so too, so we can't eradicate those traitors, but we can still suppress them."

[Do you call this suppression? Knowing that if it weren't for the GDI to send troops to assist, Liu Yan, who was afraid that the local government army would have collapsed long ago, could only muttered silently in his heart, but said other topics: "I have read the previous attack reports here, once the government army starts to counterattack, the rebels will retreat, this time they have not been able to cause more damage to the checkpoint except for shooting down a few drones, so does it mean that the attack is over?" ”

"That's true." The colonel's voice, who was sitting in the rear, was obviously relaxed, "Our mortars are shelling their exposed gun positions, and the helicopter gunships are controlling the commanding heights, and it is useless for them to do anything they want to, this time they have only done useless work." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Yan was about to remind the colonel not to take it too lightly, when a helicopter gunship hovering nearby suddenly dropped a flood of jamming bombs, and then rushed headlong to the ground, trying to lower the body between the surrounding houses to avoid something!

Then, two fireballs flew up from the residential area, one exploded after hitting the jamming bomb, and the other exploded on its own two meters away from the helicopter gunship, a large amount of debris instantly flew all over the helicopter, causing the gunship engine to emit black smoke, and the helicopter, which had been preparing to reduce its altitude to evade, drove headlong into the residential area - but there was no explosion except for a burst of black smoke rising.

Another helicopter gunship launched an indiscriminate bombardment in the direction of the two fireballs, completely ignoring the lives of civilians in residential areas.

"I knew it wasn't that easy." Liu Yan shook his head, turned around and ran towards the transport plane mooring, in order to facilitate his dealings with the officer in charge of the local government army, he did not wear K-type power armor, but parked the armor in the cabin of the transport plane, and his personal weapon was only a pistol - the officer's style - now that the battle has begun, it is the first thing that needs to be done to arm himself to the teeth - because he has always suspected that Major General Carlson has a connection with the rebels, and he will not believe it if this attack ends so soon.

As for commanding operations, the clone officers brought by Liu Yan had already arranged tasks for the other clone soldiers for the first time.

On the side of the government forces, when one of their helicopter gunships fell and the other began to bombard residential areas, two tanks and an armored vehicle drove out of the checkpoint and headed towards the place where the helicopter fell – because the helicopter did not explode, the pilots had a high chance of survival, and if they had arrived in time, they could have been able to save people.

At the same time, many mortars on the government side have also been shelling non-stop, from the beginning of countering the rebel mortars, to now ignoring the possible fire points in the entire residential area, they no longer care whether they will accidentally injure civilians. As far as the government army is concerned, the rebels can operate under their noses, and the residents in the residential areas naturally provide cover for them, so now they cannot treat those residents as their own people, but only as potential enemies.

Liu Yan also saw the actions of the government army, although he complained about why the government army did not clean up the residential areas near the entrance and exit of the highway before, and now they have been shelled there only after being beaten, because that will only push the civilians who are not with the local government to the rebels, and that will only have a negative impact on GDI's future plans, but now, he doesn't care about blaming others.

Through the footage of the reconnaissance drone launched by the clone soldiers, Liu Yan, who had quickly put on the K-type power armor, saw on the built-in screen that less than three kilometers away from the checkpoint, several E-type main battle tanks had appeared on the road, followed by more than 30 vehicles of various types, not only armed pickup trucks, but also some armored vehicles converted from buses and trucks, which also seemed to be full of armed personnel.

[This posture doesn't just look at us, but more like it's planning to take the opportunity to attack the city.] Looking at the number and type of rebel equipment listed in the analysis data provided by the EVA connection displayed on the screen, Liu Yan was quite puzzled by the behavior of the rebels, [If these troops are used to attack the entire city of Kahle, the number is not enough, this is a key transportation area, and the government army has a lot of defensive troops, not counting the strength of GDI, and that point of strength is not enough to even lay a nail. So the rebels are just strikers? 】
