Dawn always comes early in the desert Gobi, so at 8 o'clock in the morning, when the sun has risen, a ground strike formation consisting of 24 F-16s and an air cover formation consisting of four F-22s and 12 F-15s appeared over the gathering point of the unnamed town of LA1.

At the same time, a close support formation of twenty-four Apache helicopter gunships and twelve A-10 attack planes also departed from the Mut base when the attack team arrived, escorting a larger number of transport helicopters and began to move towards the town.

This is the operation of the M Army, and the Iron Eagle, which is also dispatched, is mainly based on ground troops, with a large number of Riemann Ruth tanks accompanied by more armored personnel carriers, followed by a large number of Poison-tailed Scorpion self-propelled guns and mobile anti-aircraft vehicles. In addition to this, there are twelve Su-27 Iron Eagle versions escorted over the steel torrent to provide regional air defense in the theater of operations.

When the human fighter group appeared in the sky over the town, the Sijing people also reacted, compared to the number of human planes, the extremely sparse anti-aircraft firepower, with a seemingly weak appearance, diffused into the sky. It is difficult to threaten those human fighters who have already entered the attack line, not to mention, but in the face of the air-to-ground missiles counterattacked by humans, they have been destroyed by missiles one after another.

In the fireballs rising one after another in the town, four Wind Riders flew out of nowhere and pounced on the human coalition aircraft in the sky at their fastest speed!

And the M Army's air cover formation, which had been on alert, spotted them the moment the Wind Riders appeared, and immediately intercepted them! Sixteen third- and fourth-generation air superiority fighters fired a single missile salvo in a dense manner, shooting down all the four Wind Riders who had just taken off into the air, and did not let them play any role.

"Looks like that's all there is to it." Wiped out four Wind Riders in an instant. Sixteen air superiority fighters circled in the air for a while, and no more Sijing people appeared in the aircraft, which made the officers of the command breathe a sigh of relief.

"As expected, even if there are flying machines here, there won't be too many."

"Next, it's up to the ground forces."

In less than half an hour of bombing, all the ammunition of the twenty-four F-16s was consumed. But this was a rapid bombardment in a short period of time. But it also turned this small town into a sea of fire. The town was originally built by refugees, and most of the buildings in the town were tents and shacks made of flammable materials, which made the flames of the explosions even more powerful during the bombing!

In just an hour, the town, which had been reduced to flames, had been burned to the ground, with only the remains of some houses still made of earth and stone. The bombardment had cleared most of the obstacles for the ground forces, and the scale of street fighting had decreased.

This made many human officers who were worried about the loss of soldiers in the next street battles reassured that the reason why they had not launched an attack for a long time before had to wait for the arrival of Iron Eagle's cannon fodder to attack. It's just that they don't want to pay too many casualties, if they knew that the bombing effect was so good, why would they let Iron Eagle join and pay a bunch of benefits.

But before they could rejoice, the town, which had been in ruins, suddenly rose up with various thick metal walls, turning the town into a man-made labyrinth again.

"I'm F**K! What's going on?! "Seeing this, almost all human officers are going crazy. An ordinary nameless border town, it was also bombed to the ground by a large number of bombs. Now, all of a sudden, the style of painting has changed, and it has become a maze of street battles made of alien metal, ready to devour the incoming infantry at any time, and this kind of thing is unbearable for anyone.

"Sure enough, they have a back hand." Zhao Wu glanced at the screen, then turned to Brigadier General Anderson and said, "They have been running this place for a long time. It's impossible to use this town as an ordinary trap. ”

"It's just a pity that our satellites weren't able to find these walls that came out of the ground, otherwise we wouldn't have made such a plan." Brigadier General Anderson said with a frown, then he picked up the communicator and ordered, "Let the A-10 speed up." Try how strong these walls are, and if you can, plow the place again! ”

"I'm afraid it won't work too well." Hearing the order given by the brigadier general, Zhao Wu shook his head and said, "You should have seen that those walls are the same color and luster as the Sijing people's vehicles, and the material may be the same, and you should have an impact on how strong those things are." ”

"But we can't just look at it and not react." Brigadier General Anderson looked back at Zhao Wu, "Anyway, those walls have brought that town back into street fighting mode, and if we don't solve those things, our infantry will be in a more complicated environment than the previous town." ”

"These things, it looks like they're supposed to be for training." Shrugging, Zhao Wu also had to admit the Brigadier General's statement, and then he overlapped the image transmitted by the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft with the image before the bombing, and found some details, "These walls seem to have existed for a long time, and judging from the distribution, I am afraid that they are the training equipment used by the Sijing people to train those street fighting cannon fodder." ”

Anderson leaned over to look at the image, then he nodded and said, "That's right, these walls specifically avoid the old dirt and stone houses, and only rise in the middle of the street. This can make the environment more complicated, but it's a good way to train for street fighting. But for us, it's not a small problem. So we still have to destroy the walls as much as we can. ”

"There are so many walls, and I'm afraid the A-10 will not be able to destroy them all if they run out of ammunition. Let's conserve our ammo and use heavy artillery to destroy the walls when my troops arrive. ”

"It's always good to give it a try, let's just collect data."

Regardless of the caution of the officers in the command, the troops in charge of the attack finally reached the outskirts of the town on time.

Although they had already received the news on the way, after seeing the walls rising from the ground with a strange blue-purple sheen, the officers in command on the scene still gasped. Street fighting in such an environment, is this the Battle of Stalingrad? Who would dare to take responsibility for such casualties?

With the arrival of ground troops, the accompanying aerial fire began to pour tentative fire on the town, which had been reduced to a labyrinth of street fighting. A large number of anti-tank missiles and aviation rockets are constantly exploding on the wall, splashing beautiful fireballs and dense dust! But the results were not very satisfactory. The Apache and A-10 used up half of their ammunition, but they only destroyed a few metal walls on the periphery, all of which were still directly hit by missiles and rockets.

Then, thirty poison-tailed scorpion self-propelled guns also began their own shelling, and a large number of shells fell into the maze of street battles with a whistling sound, blowing up pillars of dust more than ten meters high, and also destroying several metal walls around the explosion point! This is not to say that the artillery is more powerful, but because the shells used by these poison-tailed scorpions are all high-explosive shells specially upgraded by Iron Eagle after seeing the pacifier artillery of Future Technology Company, and the power of each 155 mm shell is no less than the power of 300 mm naval guns. It's just that the cost of such shells is higher, and each poison-tailed scorpion only has such shells in circulation, which are only used to deal with hard bones, but I didn't think that they would be used all of them at the beginning now.

Ninety rounds of shells with a power equivalent to 300 mm naval guns, and the final result was the destruction of two-thirds of the Sijing alien metal walls, which stunned the officers of various countries who watched the battle, and no one expected that the army's artillery would have a higher destructive power than the air force. Because the poison-tailed scorpion self-propelled artillery is a takeaway product, many people know the data, but this kind of power data has not been introduced so much, and the 155mm gun is also available in many countries, and the power is not so exaggerated.

However, everyone was an experienced soldier, and they quickly reacted that there must be something wrong with the shells fired by the poison-tailed scorpion before, and Brigadier General Anderson, who was closest to Zhao Wu, directly asked this question.

"That's right, it's a special shell." Zhao Wu didn't hide it much, and directly admitted, "A single shot of 100,000 M gold, three shots per cannon, and there is no supplement, it has all been fired just now." Our artillery has destroyed most of the opposing wall, and now we can send infantry in. (To be continued.) )
