Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Journey of Watching the Battle on the Ground III

After hearing Zhang Hai's doubts, Yan Xin replied confidently: We know what you said, we have also encountered many deliberate difficulties from the belligerents, but even so, for the needs of war reporting, we can only choose to faithfully record and publish the war news collected by ourselves, which must be done.

After Yan Xin finished answering, Zhang Hai also expressed his understanding, anyway, the matter had come to this point, Zhang Hai didn't say more, and then he continued to concentrate on driving the mecha, and together with the mecha of the surrounding Lucky Cat sailors, he followed the mecha team of the viewing group to continue to walk towards the front line.

Soon they went up to the roof of another nearby building, and when they arrived at the roof, the battle viewing group and the war correspondent group thought that the soldiers on the front line of the two sides were fighting on the street, but what they didn't expect to see was that the front line of the two sides was constantly covered by the rain of large-caliber electromagnetic shells, and groups of huge mud, sand and gravel smoke screens repeatedly rose on the ground, and splashed away with the shock wave, shaking the ground and shaking the scene, and at the same time everyone also found that the troops of both sides did not appear on the conspicuous street at present. However, from the windows of various buildings near the battle line, you can faintly see a lot of soldiers piloting mechs back and forth.

When Zhang Hai witnessed all this, he only heard Yan Xin, the leader of the press corps, ask Zhang Hai a question with a little puzzlement: Mr. Sailingswain, what we saw not long ago was that the two armies were gathering to fight on the main points of the show, why are there no people now, what is the situation?

And on this occasion, Zhang Hai couldn't say positively that the tactical level of the White Bear Empire and the Osprey Empire was not good, so he replied slightly tactfully: That's the case, Mr. Yan Xin, judging from the current battle situation, the White Bear Empire should be fighting with the Osprey Empire house by house.

At this time, Yan Xin, who listened to Zhang Hai's answer, showed a more serious expression, as if talking to himself: In this way, the cruel street battle is about to unfold in front of our eyes?

It turned out that Zhang Hai's deduction was completely correct, and after a round of firepower preparation, a large number of mecha clusters on both the offensive and defensive sides rushed into the buildings all over the battle line and began to fight to the death in every surrounding building.

At this moment, some sporadic shells fell on a 20-story building near the battle line, which had been destroyed by artillery fire, and the building was hit hard, and immediately shook twice at a frequency visible to the naked eye, and immediately broke off from half of it, and the upper part of the building began to irreversibly smash straight down towards the ground, and at this time, the mecha passing by on the surrounding road hurriedly began to avoid, At the same time, there were a lot of mecha of the Osprey Empire army that jumped out of the side facing the sky in the broken and falling building, but this sudden change happened too fast after all, and before a few mechs could escape, the upper part of the building fell to the ground, and as the upper part of the building fell apart after falling to the ground, many mechs collapsed from it.

Because of this sudden incident, the area around the battlefield obviously stopped, but within three seconds, as the order to attack was given again, the two sides of the war no longer paid attention to the ruins of the building that was broken in the middle of the road, but continued to charge and fight together.

In the time that followed, the war reporter group and the spectator group followed the mecha battle formation of the 5th Marine Division of the White Bear Empire all the way forward, but the offensive effect of the 5th Marine Division of the White Bear Empire was not ideal, often advancing 500 meters, and the 11th Marine Division of the Osprey Empire concentrated on launching a counterattack and was repelled by 200 meters, and then the 5th Marine Division of the White Bear Empire continued to attack with perseverance.

This tug-of-war has been going on over and over again, and as a result, after eight hours of tug-of-war between the two armies, it was dark, and the 5th Marine Division of the White Bear Empire had advanced less than five kilometers.

Watching the sun set on the horizon, Zhang Hai and the brothers of the Lucky Cat sailors escorted the press corps and the watch group back to the headquarters of the 5th Marine Division of the White Bear Empire.

In this spare time, Zhang Hai said to Zhang Heng: How about it, do you think the offensive and defensive sides will launch a night attack tonight? After hearing Zhang Hai's question, Zhang Heng smiled and said: This is obvious, this battle situation is so tense, the two sides will definitely take advantage of the night to attack.

After ten o'clock in the evening, in the headquarters of the 5th Marine Division of the White Bear Empire, the people watching the battle group rested early, while Zhang Hai sat on the seat of the cockpit of the maintenance mecha and smoked a cigarette silently.

In the dead of night, the war correspondents of the War Correspondents' Corps, who were resting in the head of the maintenance mecha, were also sending the war news they had collected today to different news and distribution agencies.

At this time, Zhang Hai was thinking about the current battle situation on the clouded leopard star, and he felt that if the White Bear Empire and the Osprey Empire continued to be consumed step by step according to the current rigid fighting style, they would definitely end up with a defeat for both sides, and he didn't know if these two small empires would send more troops over.

Zhang Hai slowly fell asleep when he was thinking like this, until Zhang Hai was woken up by Zhang Heng's voice in the command channel of the Lucky Cat in a daze, and after waking up, he first asked Zhang Heng in the command channel in a daze: What happened, and even called me to get up, is there something wrong?

Zhang Heng did not reply directly to Zhang Hai's words, but continued in the command channel: Please look at the direction of ten o'clock.

At this time, Zhang Hai heard this, and suddenly looked at the direction of ten o'clock that Zhang Heng said, only to find that the sky at ten o'clock had been dyed fiery red by the explosion of rounds of electromagnetic cannonballs.

As soon as Zhang Hai saw this situation, he said to Zhang Heng: It's nothing, I think you expected this scene a little earlier, didn't you?

Zhang Heng did not deny it after hearing this, and nodded briskly.

Then Zhang Hai continued: Well, it's late at night, let's continue to pay attention to vigilance, and call me immediately if there is anything abnormal.

Zhang Heng said that he knew, and at the same time began to arrange for the sailor brothers to be on night guard.

In the early morning of the next day, the observation group and the war correspondent group received a report on the battle situation from Major General Kafeike, the commander of the 5th Marine Division of the White Bear Empire, at the same time: After a bloody battle between the two sides that lasted all night last night, the mecha cluster of the 5th Marine Division of the White Bear Empire advanced 20 kilometers and had reached the last line of defense of the Osprey Empire's Clouded Leopard Star Logistics and Material Storage Base, the last line of defense set up by the 11th Marine Division of the Osprey Empire was located in an industrial area of only ten square kilometers. As long as the 5th Marine Division of the White Bear Empire captures this ten-square-kilometer industrial area, it is equivalent to opening the door to attack the Osprey Empire's logistics and material storage base.
