The sky, which had just been washed clean by the storm that had lasted for a week, gradually filled with a thick smell of gunsmoke.

At least more than 1,000 waves of the Donghui Air Force's AD-1 "Sky Raider" attack planes and B29 bombers recklessly bombarded at low altitudes of 300 to 3,000 meters, like a swarm of metal locusts, tirelessly gnawing at all the creatures on the ground.

Obviously, the Donghui Air Force, which had been depressed for more than a week, finally seized the opportunity to vent to its heart's content.

Cheng Gong once said to the generals of Donghui Guo's air defense that the battle that can be solved by the air force will never be used by the army; Coastal defense positions that can be leveled by naval artillery will never allow the marines to risk landing on the beach; The fire points that the heavy artillery group can take out will never be blasted by the infantry.

All in all, the life of every soldier of the Donghui National Defense Force is very precious!

The 400,000 Australian troops trapped in the mountainous area northeast of Port Moresby, whose anti-aircraft firepower was already overstretched, gradually became more and more sparse in the Donghui Air Force's current ground attack.

Violent explosions broke the silence of the Owen Stanley Mountains, and fireballs that suddenly expanded and burst distorted the air and swirled and churned.

JUST AFTER THIS ROUND OF AIR STRIKES, ONE AFTER ANOTHER MI-28 "APACHESKY" ARMED ATTACK HELICOPTERS AND MI-24 "HIND" ARMED TRANSPORT HELICOPTERS SWEPT THROUGH THE THICK SMOKE AND FLEW FROM THE WEST AT AN ULTRA-LOW ALTITUDE ONLY A LITTLE HIGHER THAN THE TREETOPS.

The Mi-28 "Apachesky" and Mi-24 "Hind" that kept flying up and down were dancing in the smoke of gunpowder, and they worked tirelessly in the target area of the attack with rocket nests and machine guns.

Matilda tanks were pinpointed by the "Apacsky" and "Hind" at low altitude, and then turned them into piles of burning scrap metal with armor-piercing and incendiary shells fired by rocket nests, and the scorching shrapnel danced violently in the air, mercilessly killing and wounding all exposed defenders.

"Doctor, come and save him......"

"Medic! Medic! ”

"Help me...... Help me......"

"Give me a shot! Please give me a shot......"

In the Owen Stanley Mountains, there were mournful shouts everywhere.

In this moment of death everywhere, the Australian Army's medics and medics exert their tenacious will to shuttle through every corner of the various positions, rescue their wounded companions, and pull them back from the brink of death.

The Mi-28 and Mi-24 helicopter gunships, which had been depleted with bullets, circled over the positions of the First Armored Division of the First Group Army of the Donghui National Defense Army on the outskirts of the mountainous area, and left at high speed in the northwest direction with a roar.

The Australian soldiers in the mountains couldn't help but be secretly glad when they saw these damn demons finally fly away.

However, before they could breathe their breath, a piercing scream like tearing cloth suddenly pierced the sky.

"Shelling ......"

One of the commanders in the Australian positions shouted loudly, his voice hoarse from thirst.

THE 155MM HIGH-EXPLOSIVE GRENADE RAINED, WITH THE CURSE OF DEATH, THE MOUNTAIN PEAKS WERE LIKE THE KNIFE EMBRYOS UNDER THE BLACKSMITH'S HAMMER BEING BEATEN FIERCELY, THE LARGE BALLS OF FIREBALL WU DEVOURED EVERYTHING, THE RAGING FLAMES LICKED AND ATE THE AIR HEAT WAVE ROLLING, AND THE POSITION WHERE THE Australian 7th Tank Division was located was once again ploughed fiercely.

Tongues of fire poured out from every corner of the ruined fortifications, and the blast uprooted the stumps and staggered them.

One by one, the bunker sandbags were overturned into the air, and the corpses of many dead soldiers who had not had time to be collected were blown into pieces, and the flying flesh and blood were splashed like radiation......

Finally, when the round of shelling by Donghui's army passed, there was a faint roar of an aero engine in the sky.

A huge air attack formation consisting of four A-10 attack aircraft, 12 AC-130U multi-role gunboats, 36 Mi-28 attack gunships, 48 Mi-24 transport helicopters, two V22 command helicopters, and 120 V22 transport helicopters swooped viciously from the air like a flock of vultures hunting for food.

Soon, about thirty meters above the highest point of the 308 highlands in the Owen Stanley Ranges, two V22 transport helicopters appeared.

As four airborne cables were thrown out of the open hatch, a heavily armed Donghui Marine soldier shrewdly and dexterously landed on the ground along the airline, and used the C38-A assault rifles in their hands to send all the Australian officers and soldiers who were still gasping for breath on this supreme position to meet their God.

Liu Xing was the commander of the Sharp Knife Company who served as the commander of the airborne attack, and was a veteran of the former Northwest Army who had been on the battlefield for a long time. He is skilled and experienced in tactical movements, and he also has a lot of experience in individual combat. He was the first to land, and the first time he landed, he killed three remnants of the Australian army in a row who were struggling to take up arms and resist.

After his comrades-in-arms landed safely, Liu Xing picked a machine gun fortification in a trench dug along the hillside, put the C38-A assault rifle in his hand next to the sandbag, took off the C38-Z sniper rifle (SVD) he was carrying with his backhand, and searched for sniper targets under the mountain through the six-fold light scope.

AFTER A WHILE, AN AUSTRALIAN ARTILLERYMAN HOLDING A SHELL IN BOTH HANDS AND PREPARING TO SHOOT INTO THE MUZZLE OF AN 82MM MORTAR CLEARLY APPEARED IN THE SNIPER SCOPE.

LIU XING QUICKLY LOCKED THE OPPONENT'S HEAD WEARING A BRITISH-STYLE STEEL HELMET, AND WHEN THE CROSSHAIR MOVED PRECISELY TO THE CHARGE OF THE 82MM MORTAR SHELL, HIS RIGHT INDEX FINGER STEADILY PULLED THE TRIGGER.

"Phew!"

The standard sniper posture made Liu Xing's right shoulder firmly offset the recoil generated by the C38-Z sniper rifle, and a yellow bullet case happily jumped out of the shell ejector, swinging a beautiful parabola in the air, and fell silently into the muddy trench.

AS THE FIRING PIN SLAMMED INTO THE PRIMER OF THE SPECIAL SNIPER SHELL, THE 7.62 STEEL-TIPPED BULLET THAT ROTATED AND ROLLED OUT ALONG THE RIFLING OF THE BARREL DRILLED INTO THE CHARGE OF THE 82MM MORTAR SHELL WITH FEROCIOUS KINETIC ENERGY.

"Boom!"

A BURST OF FIREBALL COMPLETELY ENGULFED THE FOUR OPERATING SOLDIERS OF THE 82MM MORTAR.

An Australian soldier who was less than 20 meters away from this gun position suddenly saw a severed arm with the smell of burnt human flesh falling from the sky and falling in front of him, which frightened the young Australian soldier and vomited.

The sudden airborne landing of Donghui's army immediately caught the Australian troops in the mountains of Owen Stanley by surprise.

Many Australian commanders tried to organize commandos to recapture the highest point, but they were all torn to pieces by the chains of fire sprayed by A10 attack planes, AC-130U multi-role gunboats, Mi-28 attack gunships, and Mi-24 transport gunships under air patrol cover.

A Mi-24 transport aircraft can carry eight heavily armed Marines, and a V22 transport helicopter can carry 24 heavily armed Marines. As a result, at least one company of marines, weapons and ammunition can be transported within five minutes from any landing point.

IN SOME IMPORTANT AREAS, THERE ARE EVEN ARTILLERY POSITIONS CONSISTING OF M22 HOWITZERS OF TYPE 777 THAT WERE HOISTED BY V777 HELICOPTERS FOR TEMPORARY ASSEMBLY.

This new combat mode of multi-point delivery and multi-point attack has made the minefields, bridges and roads that the Australian army had previously planted outside the mountains have not played a corresponding role at all. The Donghui Defense Force can send their soldiers and weapons to any place on the battlefield anytime, anywhere!

In the face of this kind of armored force that "has wings inserted", the so-called defensive intention of the Australian army to rely on the mountain and rely on danger has all become empty words.
