Chapter Forty-Eight: The Battle of the City
Four helicopter gunships circled over the coalition camp, aviation machine guns rained down showers of bullets, and homemade improvised helicopters were thrown out of the cabin like scattered flowers and exploded one by one in the barracks.
Explosions, shouts, screams, machine guns, the entire barracks suddenly went into chaos.
When the Allied anti-aircraft machine guns began to roar, several helicopters quickly pulled up and flew away.
Looking at the chaotic barracks, Shan Xiongzhong's eyes were full of anger.
Coalition soldiers began to silently collect the bodies of their comrades who had been killed, treat the wounded, re-erect the collapsed tents, and fill in the bomb craters.
Calm returned to the barracks again.
When the physically and mentally exhausted soldier had just fallen asleep, the roar of the helicopter sounded again.
This time, the anti-aircraft machine gun reacted immediately, firing chains of bullets into the air. The helicopter just hurriedly dropped a few* on the periphery and ran away, not even causing any casualties.
Awakened from sleep, the coalition soldiers were tormented by tension and restlessness.
The helicopter was gone, and for a long time there was no movement, and the soldiers could no longer resist the onslaught of sleep.
I don't know how long I closed my eyes, but the explosion sounded in the barracks again, and it was a new cycle.
On this night, Doomsday Phoenix's helicopter gunships visited the coalition camp seven times!
Shan Xiongzhong was already out of anger, and couldn't help but scold in the air.
This night, Chi Hua slept so peacefully, he didn't know what he dreamed of, and he actually laughed in his dream. woke up Xiao Yu, who was sleeping next to her, and was so frightened that she hurriedly covered Chi Hua's mouth, for fear that Chi Hua's sneaking into her room would be exposed.
Chi Hua definitely did it on purpose, he was retaliating and venting his anger like a child, and he would never forget the scene outside Shengshui Town when he was pressed and beaten on the head by the helicopter of the Doomsday Salvation Army.
Feng Shui takes turns, this year to my house!
......
The first rays of dawn shine through the edge of the radiation clouds on the tall, all-silver Doomsday Phoenix, gilding the city with a sacred glow.
The Doomsday Salvation Army and the Tianjin City coalition army, which had not slept all night and had red eyes, had already lined up outside the city.
There was no confrontation between the two armies, there was no scolding of the enemy, and the rumbling cannon directly woke up Doomsday Phoenix.
The fierce artillery fire smashed into the head of Phoenix City with the endless anger and anger of the coalition soldiers and evolutionaries, and the artillery fire and violent explosions in the sky instantly submerged the entire Phoenix City Wall, wanting to completely blow up and blow up this sacred city.
The exploding fireworks and rising gunpowder smoke covered the entire city wall and tower, and Phoenix City was ravaged in artillery fire, and there was not a single shot of counterattack from the city.
The shelling continued, and the anger in Shan Xiongzhong's heart gradually eased. This round of shelling may have solved half of the battle, and no wall could withstand such a violent explosion, and no army could remain intact in such a heavy shelling.
The cannonball, which had lasted for nearly twenty minutes, stopped, and the smoke of gunfire gradually dissipated from the city.
More sunlight sprinkled on the head of Phoenix City, the silver giant city still stood proudly in the sunlight, except for the surface of the city wall with an extra layer of black marks after the explosion, the entire city wall was intact, not even a single tile on the city tower was lifted.
The coalition soldiers looked at the scene in front of them with wide eyes wide open, and some soldiers couldn't help but kneel, this is really a sacred city!
Shan Xiongzhong's body trembled slightly, the round of shelling just now consumed half of the last remaining shells of the troops, but the result was not effective at all.
No! It's impossible! Even if the walls are fine, the soldiers and evolutionaries behind the walls will never be spared!
As soon as Shan Xiongzhong waved his hand, a regiment of nearly 2,000 soldiers launched a rapid charge towards the city wall.
The soldiers ran two hundred or three hundred meters, and they had already reached the best range of their guns, and there was not a trace of movement on the city wall, and Shan Xiongzhong's heart was rekindled with great hope.
The soldiers had already rushed to a hundred meters below the city wall, and many soldiers had reached out to touch the ropes behind their waists, but they did not expect the siege to be so easy.
Without warning, the sky darkened. The charging soldiers couldn't help but look up at the air, and their faces turned pale in an instant, and some soldiers collapsed to the ground with weak legs, and they saw the javelins in the air that covered the sky.
The sound of a javelin piercing flesh was the sound of a javelin piercing through flesh, and even the screams of the soldiers before they died were drowned out in a dense pop.
After the javelins in the sky, the javelins planted diagonally on the ground in the area of fifty to one hundred meters below Phoenix City were like dense wheat seedlings, but it was a flesh and blood body that watered the wheat seedlings at the roots.
As if drilling out of the city wall, one by one the figures suddenly appeared at the head of Phoenix, unhurriedly poked out the muzzle of the gun in the shooting hole of the battlement of the city wall, and shot at the soldiers under the city wall.
At such a close distance, there was no cover under the empty city walls, and experienced veterans shot one at a time like shooting targets on the battlefield, and with a little training, recruits could knock down one with three or five shots, and the soldiers who survived the javelin rain were harvested in pieces.
The pale-faced Shan Xiongzhong gave the order to retreat at the same time as the javelin rain fell, but the entire regiment withdrew less than 500 people alive.
In one rash attack, the coalition forces paid the price of 1,500 lives!
Shan Xiong Zhongrao, a general who was indifferent to the life and death of soldiers, was also moved. But Shan Xiongzhong was not a stupid general and immediately changed his strategy.
The coalition artillery roared again, but this time the indiscriminate attack on the entire section of the wall was reduced to only the middle section of the wall on the left and right sides.
At the same time as the cannon fired, the soldiers on the walls disappeared again. Phoenix City has long reserved hollow bunkers in the wide city walls.
Under the cover of artillery fire, the special operations battalion of the Doomsday Salvation Army and the Shenteng soldiers of Tianjin City rushed out of their respective military formations and quickly rushed under the city wall.
Both teams of evolutionaries stopped at a distance of about fifty meters from the Phoenix City Wall, and there were unequal numbers of evolutionaries in the team who pressed their hands to the ground.
The land in front of the Phoenix City Wall began to shake violently, and the ground under his feet began to gradually rise, piling higher and higher, and a huge soil slope more than ten meters wide extended towards the Phoenix City Wall.
The observation post in Phoenix City saw all the actions of the coalition evolutionaries in tears, but they were helpless, and even the super evolutionaries could not show their heads in the bombardment of the sky.
I could only watch as one end of the dirt slope was built on the Phoenix City Wall, and gradually rose to a height level with the head of the city.
Under the cover of artillery fire and relying on the great power of the evolutionaries, the coalition forces directly built two wide dirt passages leading directly to the city wall.
The artillery fire stopped, and the smoke had not yet dissipated, and the special operations battalion of the Doomsday Salvation Army and the Shenteng soldiers of Tianjin City rushed up the city wall along the dirt slope, and the coalition soldiers also launched a full charge after them.
Shan Xiongzhong is indeed a genuine general, and his sudden change of attack strategy caught Doomsday Phoenix by surprise.
The Phoenix Special Operations Team, the ordinary soldiers, and the Coalition Evolutionaries who had just rushed out of the bunker of the city wall collided with each other, and the two sides instantly fell into a scuffle.
The number of evolutionaries on both sides is still slightly superior, and it is impossible for the Phoenix Special Combat Team to drive the other party out of the city in a short time. The Evolutionaries of the Coalition took a foothold at the head of the city, and the Coalition soldiers who followed rushed up the walls of the city frantically along the dirt slope.
The evolutionaries and ordinary soldiers on both sides engaged in an active and tragic hand-to-hand battle on the wide city walls.
For the first time, Phoenix City lost the advantage of the city wall, just as Chi Hua had predicted before the war, the final victory or defeat of this war had to be fought out desperately!
On the kilometer-long city wall, every place is a battlefield of fighting, and everyone is facing their own life and death struggle.
The entire Phoenix Special Combat Team was all engaged in the battle, and the city walls were covered with bright armor, and the Phoenix Special Combat Team still maintained the combat mode of a team of five in such a chaotic battlefield. The total number of the Phoenix Special Combat Team is less than that of the Special Operations Battalion and the Shenteng Warriors, but it is with the Phoenix Battle Armor and the team combat mode that the disadvantage in numbers has been leveled out.
Each team of five people gathered together was a brightly colored pearl, and more than thirty pearls were evenly scattered on the entire section of the city wall, strung together into a beautiful necklace, stringing out an impregnable defense line on the phoenix city wall.
The battles of the soldiers of the Phoenix City Escort Division are all carried out around the nodes of the special combat teams, the special combat teams are the points, the soldiers are the lines, and as long as the points are still online, they will continue.
Soldier against soldier, general against general, the evolutionaries on both sides are fighting, and the soldiers are also fighting each other.
In the fight at the soldier level, although the Doomsday Salvation Army and the Tianjin City coalition still have a numerical advantage, they are firmly dominated by Doomsday Phoenix City. The Coalition soldiers were a tired army that could not sleep even the first night before the war. Not only did the Phoenix soldiers get enough rest, but there was also a 3,000-strong escort brigade left behind that had not participated in the previous battle at all, and this was a new force waiting for the battle to itch.
Moreover, compared to the coalition soldiers, the Phoenix soldiers, who were already lacking in weapons and ammunition, were better at hand-to-hand combat with cold weapons, and broadswords, spears and shields were the signs of the Phoenix soldiers. The coalition soldier stabbed at him with a bayonet, and the Phoenix soldier's left shield blocked outward, and with a single advance of his right hand, he slashed the opposite soldier to the ground. Even if the other party reacts and raises the gun to parry, the broadsword slashes at the barrel of the gun, and the barrel of the gun is cut in half with one knife.
How could the sword, gun, and shield made by Chi Hua's metal ability be able to withstand the ordinary steel gun bayonet in the opponent's hand?
What's even worse is that the number of evolutionaries in the Phoenix City Guardian Division far exceeds that of the coalition army, and the advantage of building an army with evolutionaries as the backbone is vividly reflected at this time, because of the existence of evolutionaries, every small war group Phoenix City firmly occupies the advantage!
More and more coalition soldiers were killed in hand-to-hand combat. If the current situation continues, Phoenix will finally win this war after paying a huge price!
But Phoenix will never accept a victory with great cost, because the price paid is life, and the life of every soldier and evolver in Phoenix City is worth cherishing!
More than a dozen figures suddenly rushed out of the Phoenix Tower, rushing towards various nodes on the battlefield.
Phoenix City's super evolutionary has appeared, and a dozen people are enough to stir up this huge battlefield where tens of thousands of people are fighting!
