Chapter 122: 140 Life and Death Battle
The rebel pilots flying high in the air dodged the ground fire disapprovingly, and suddenly a burst of accurate shells flew into the sky, and the electronically programmed ammunition exploded in front of the rebel fleet in a barrage of fragments.
Within a minute, 19 rebel planes were shot down, and several more were injured, but shells for this advanced weapon are very difficult to obtain, the stock of 2,000 shells is gone, the three guns that were picked up by luck are now completely scrapped, and the 35mm anti-aircraft gun without programmed ammunition is not as good as a burning stick.
The rebels felt that the anti-aircraft fire was weak, and began to show their crazy side, planes rushed down like locusts, raining bullets wildly from a distance, and many anti-aircraft positions were destroyed by bombs, but soon established on the other side.
The fighters in the defense line also spontaneously counterattacked, there was no anti-aircraft machine gun mount, then a soldier grabbed the machine gun tripod with both hands, and the fire of MG42 organized a very tight fire network in the air at 500 meters, and many of the rebel planes were hit and injured by medium-caliber machine guns, and the arrogance of the rebel planes was suppressed.
But the rebels were still very strong, and bombers and ground attack planes dropped huge bombs on the residential areas and camouflaged factory areas of the base, blowing up these buildings with no people and no supplies, although the loss of people and materials was not large, but it was a pity that the biogas digesters and infrastructure that had been built there were so hard to build.
The fire from the explosion of the digester made the rebels think that it had been a great achievement, and they intensified the bombardment. 30-40% of the residential area was flattened, but the rebels also suffered heavy losses and had to evacuate the group after half an hour. The air defense sirens at the base were also stopped.
People came out of the underground bunkers, saw their homes that had been bombed into ruins, their eyes were full of hatred, people who had experienced countless hardships finally got their own homes, and before they could properly soothe their wounded hearts, their precious homes were destroyed again, how could they not hate.
The tragic anti-aircraft battle made people's scalps tingle, the armor top cover on the anti-aircraft artillery position had been beaten in all directions, the bullet holes were as dense as sesame seeds on a cake, the blood on the gun emplacements was layer after layer, and some of the anti-aircraft guns were beaten to pieces.
All that was left of the bomb-hit gun emplacements was a pile of twisted pieces of steel bar, and thick smoke billowed from the entire base.
Although the two air strikes shot down more than 40 rebel aircraft, they still lost nearly 1,000 people, 70 percent of whom were innocent civilians.
Residential areas that had been painstakingly built for months were also blown up, and a small power plant was hit by aerial bombs.
To add insult to injury, the rebels have continued to mobilize forces from the direction of J City, and now that the first reinforcements have reached the interior of Diamond City, the Restoration Army will now meet the attack of at least 35,000 infantry, and the other side has overwhelming armored troops and air support.
The only two artillery radars and three air defense radars of the Restoration Army are very unstable and inefficient, after all, they are all obsolete goods that have been mothballed for more than ten years.
That night, rebel reinforcements reached the interior of Diamond City, and for the next two hours the rebel units were in position.
Densely packed with new rebel formations dressed in inferior clothes like military training uniforms, wearing cotton hats, and rifles with weak firepower in their hands, gathered in Diamond City for task distribution, the rebels' supplies have already departed, and when all the supplies are in place in 3 days, it will be the time of war.
Liu Qi didn't know the time of the rebels' attack, he only knew that the rebels were already in place, and he didn't know that the Restoration Army was the biggest obstacle for the rebels to move south in SX Province, and the entire Southern Group Army was pressed in front of the Restoration Army.
Liu Qi gave the order that the troops entered the defense area and took up their positions that night, and 30 minutes before the order was issued, two teams had already begun to pack up supplies and prepare for the south bank.
Just as the troops on the south bank of the base were about to set off, the artillery of the Restoration Army suddenly fired three flares into the air, and on the other side of the river, countless people were crowded, and several armored vehicles were following.
The outlaws under Guang Changchun began to cooperate with the rebels to delay time, and these outlaws took the weapons provided by the rebels and walked arrogantly on the main road.
The dense machine-gun positions of the Restoration Army were aimed at this group of fools who had no tactical literacy, and with an order, half of the firing points began to shoot wildly, and tracer bullets suddenly appeared from all directions, and a large number of people in Diamond City were knocked down for a while.
Several Type 69 tanks that followed behind fired at the firing point, and although the accuracy was average, it also affected the fire output.
The recoilless gun constantly fired armor-piercing shells, but the Type 75 105mm armor-piercing shells were not very powerful, and the threat to the 69-2 tank was really not good, and only by luck hit the chassis did two tanks be destroyed.
The rest of the rebel tanks were emboldened when they saw that there was no threat, and they fired at the recoilless gun crew.
After the recoilless gun fire point was killed by the rebels, five points began to move, and there was no way, the Restoration Army could only send T34 up.
Although the 80mm armor-piercing projectile flew relatively slowly, the armor-piercing projectile improved from the PG-9 73mm armor-piercing bullet had a penetration of 330mm, and it successfully destroyed several rebel tanks, and the rebel tanks that suffered losses retreated and fled for their lives.
The men of Diamond City were looking for cover on the side of the street, fighting back indiscriminately from the fire along the river. The 76mm54 plus howitzer used anti-infantry aerial shotguns 0 to fire frantically at the Diamond City troops on the south bank, and the south bank of the river was blown up by the shells, and the dead bodies flew everywhere.
But surprisingly, the people of the city that never sleeps are also here!
After Guo Jinhao unified the city that never sleeps, he was extremely dissatisfied with Luke's plunder, so he contacted the rebels and received strong support from the rebels, especially the weapons and ammunition were sufficient.
Guo Jinhao received an invitation to cooperate with the rebels today, and agreed without hesitation, and even sent his strongest weapon "Jin Hao Ship"!
The soldiers on the defense line along the river frowned when they looked at the dense boats on the river, but Guo Jinhao couldn't afford to bring a battleship in a little big and small canal, could he?
I saw that on the river, a 500-ton transport ship also had a Type 59 tank turret and dense firing points, and it was useless to hit a large-caliber machine gun.
When Guo Jinhao's men saw that Luke's small arms could not effectively threaten the boat, these fools swelled, drove the boat directly to a distance of 50 meters from the bridge, and recklessly fired at the defense line along the river with machine guns.
Before it could be 20 seconds, it was covered by a recoilless gun, and the continuous explosions shattered the entire upper part of the ship.
But those who rowed the boats were very brave, and they tried to land on the north bank of the river under heavy fire!
