Chapter 68: The Beginning of the War

"Chief of Staff! The reconnaissance team reported that there were indeed nearly 500 self-propelled howitzers on the other side of the Wutong River, and no other air defense units were found. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

A signal soldier ran into the command post and reported, and the chief of staff said directly: "Commander, I think we can take action!" ”

Karen Yasi carefully looked at the situation on both sides of the Wutong River on the electronic map, and took off the military hat on his head.

"Immediately inform the 7th Air Army that the bombers are entering the battlefield as planned! Order the vanguard troops to storm the Wutong River as soon as the bombers finish their bombing!"

As soon as the order was issued, nearly 1,000 bombers, which were flying at a constant speed over Hamad, began to increase their speed and flew towards the Utong River, reaching their destination in just one hour.

O'Neill was very anxious when he saw that the vanguard troops on the other side had not moved for more than an hour.

"Commander, does the other side know that we have howitzer troops?"

"I can't rule it out!"

O'Neill seemed to remember something, and suddenly rushed into the command post and grabbed the phone.

"Quick! Call for air support!"

Buzz Buzz......

Before O'Neill could finish speaking, a muffled thunderous voice sounded in the sky outside, and as a veteran of many years of fighting, he certainly understood what it was.

"Quick! The bombers are coming!" Hide now!"

However, how can thousands of tanks and armored vehicles be hidden in the empty and desolate wasteland?

Seeing that the dense dots on the horizon were rapidly growing larger, and the silhouette of the bomber was becoming clearer and clearer, O'Neill understood that the general trend had gone, the Wutong River would be lost, and his air force would not be able to reach it in at least twenty minutes. By that time, his troops were finished.

The armored troops retreated in a panic, while the Black Hawk Federation soldiers on the banks of the Wutong River could only find cover and wait for the indiscriminate bombardment.

Finally, the first echelon arrived, and the Greenland pilots looked at the Beetle-like tank troops on the ground and easily pressed the bomb drop button. Heavy aerial bombs fell neatly from the engine room, screaming into the river bank and into the stacks of tanks and armored vehicles. A high-yield high explosive detonates the projectile, producing a powerful shock wave and shrapnel that is enough to destroy a tank within twenty meters on the spot.

The Assassins looked at the drone from the screen, and countless dim yellow flowers seemed to bloom on the wasteland in an instant, and the scene seemed to be like hell on earth.

As more bombers joined, the bombs became more dense, almost turning tens of thousands of square meters of wasteland over like ploughing, countless tanks belching smoke, and countless armored vehicles were blown to the ground by bombs. The military fortifications built on the banks of the river had been rendered useless by the bombs, and countless soldiers were torn apart by the bombs, and the entire embankment was covered with a mixture of flesh and earth.

After a full ten minutes of bombing, the three armored divisions plus the elite armored army in the central part of the Black Eagle Federation lost more than half, that is, Ling only underestimated the power of the bombers at this time. If this continues, he is worried that Yue Zhen's words will come true, if he really allows the Greenland Empire to cross the Wutong River smoothly, but the Black Eagle Federation is very slow to react. Then it is likely that they will push the battle line to the eighth theater of operations, and then they will be isolated.

However, Ling soon breathed a sigh of relief, because the rest of the Ninth Theater Air Force and the Light and Shadow Fighter Brigade finally flew over the battlefield, and at this time, the armored troops on the ground had been blown up in pieces, and the bombing of the bombers was about to end.

The Light and Shadow fighter group penetrated directly into the bomber group, and the missiles were launched immediately, and this time it was the turn of the bomber group to start disorganized. Combat missiles and tactical cruise missiles continued to hit the bombers, and then the fighters behind began to use their cannons to strafe the bombers that were close at hand.

The Greenland Empire's fighter unit quickly rushed up from behind to cut off the pursuit line of the Light and Shadow fighters, and then the two began to struggle. At the same time a battle began on the ground, with Greenland Army infantry rushing out of the jungle, followed by armored units carving out a way out of the jungle. As soon as the infantry broke out of the jungle, they were hit by the federal forces that had reorganized their defensive lines, and although the bombardment caused the Ninth Theater troops to lose tens of thousands, they were two or three hundred thousand. If it is defeated by a bombardment, it is not called an army.

As soon as the two sides exchanged fire, bullets came and went on the Wutong River, which spanned less than 200 meters, and mortar shells continued to make a high splash on the water. More than half of them were destroyed by bombers, and the brigade of self-propelled howitzers, which had less than 100 guns left, also returned to their positions and began to launch a fierce attack on the other side of the Wutong River. The Greenland Imperial Armored Corps finally appeared on the shore along the path carved out by the Engineering Tank Unit, and the loud thunder characteristic of the tank guns made the hearts of the Federation troops tremble. Every minute and every second, soldiers were shot or killed by bullets, and this scene made Ji Ling feel deeply shocked.

In the air, the Light and Shadow Fighter Brigade of the Central Air Force relied on the super performance of the fighters to almost overwhelm more than 400 fighters. However, the culprit bomber group has fled back to the territory of the Empire, and the Black Hawk Federation's fighters will be attacked by long-range anti-aircraft missiles launched from border air defense bases if they fly over again. It was a heavy anti-aircraft missile with a range of up to 100 kilometers, and it had a super pursuit ability.

When the war was in full swing, a group of nearly five hundred bombers suddenly appeared in the rear of the Black Hawk Federation, ignoring the threat of Greenland Imperial fighters, quickly flew across the Wutong River and began to drop bombs into the jungle.

"I can't imagine that the leadership of the Divine Domain is so bold and strategic, they use the light and shadow fighters to fight with the enemy planes, and go to clean up the armored forces of the Imperial Army on the other side, so that they can get the maximum benefit at the lowest cost!"

Ji Ling watched the bomber group of the Divine Domain hovering over the jungle and dropped bombs, and said with a sigh.

"Wouldn't our plans be in vain?" Liu Yi said.

"This is not necessarily, more than a thousand bombers of the Greenland Imperial Air Force can only knock out half of the Black Hawk Federation armored forces in the open area of the wasteland, while there are only five hundred in the Divine Domain, which is still under the conditions of jungle. Therefore, their results will not be too big, and they can only act as a buffer. When the enemy's follow-up armored forces arrive, I guess at most tonight, the Greenland Army will occupy both sides of the Utong River!"

The bombers of the Divine Domain quickly completed the bomb dropping, and under the cover of the Federal Air Force, they withdrew from the battlefield. This surprise bombing caused the Imperial armored forces to lose nearly 1,000 vehicles, although it was less than 10% of the armored strength of Karen Yasi, but it made the lieutenant general feel humiliated by the horse.

"Order the armored forces to quickly approach! I'm going to spend the night on the other side tonight!"

Karen Yasi punched the table, furious.
