Hu Zhan was right, Alex's army had already entered Huacang's territory.
One hundred tanks led the way, followed by three hundred military pickup trucks, raising a cloud of dust.
"How long do you think it will take us to take over this country?"
The man thought about it carefully.
"It seems they haven't established a country yet... That's not the point. If we want to hold out for half an hour, it depends on whether those iron guys agree..."
"Haha, that's right."
As soon as he finished speaking, the car suddenly stopped.
"What's going on?"
boom!
He was answered by a huge roar.
The first tank suddenly stopped and its tracks were broken by a mine on the ground.
Seeing this, the other tank drivers hurriedly stopped their tanks.
There was a minefield ahead, and before they could send out deminers or change their route, hundreds of pitch-black cannon barrels suddenly appeared within a radius of a thousand meters!
"There's an ambush!"
The soldiers on the military pickup truck jumped down hurriedly. Shells fell around them, and the dust from the explosion was mixed with debris.
The ground shook, and Hua Cang's tracked tanks drove out and surrounded from all directions, with more than a hundred of them. Soldiers followed closely behind, using the third-generation Roarers in their hands to provide fierce fire suppression.
At the same time as the upgrade, individual equipment will also be innovated. Some Huacang soldiers will carry rocket launchers on their shoulders. The recoil of this thing is not very large, which is perfect for blowing up tanks. A heavy machine gun is set up, one person is responsible for shooting, and one person is responsible for installing magazines next to it. There are more than 20 heavy machine guns in total. This first-generation machine gun is several pounds heavier than a rocket launcher. Although the recoil is large, the lethality is extremely strong.
Alex's soldiers quickly stabilized their position and launched a counterattack, using the advancing tanks as cover and advancing in a Y-shape while firing, trying to avoid damage to the tanks from mines.
But Hua Cang obviously would not allow them to do so.
Hundreds of tanks engaged in close-range fire, and the powerful impact of the explosion forced the soldiers on both sides to keep their distance.
Although Huacang's tanks were a little lacking in mobility, Chai Su chose a larger proportion of armor-piercing shells when producing artillery shells, and most of the tanks deployed by Yaris were light tanks.
This created a situation.
Huacang's tanks had a higher hit rate, but they still stood firm. Yaris's tanks had a lower hit rate, but were basically scrapped after being hit by a few bullets.
There was not even enough time for emergency repairs.
“Retreat, retreat!”
Alice's commander, Cher, gave the order. Under the cover of their own tanks, all soldiers quickly retreated and forcibly tore a gap in the rear.
Huacang stopped the pursuit.
"Clean up the battlefield!"
The casualty ratio between the two sides was one to two. More than a dozen of the enemy's tanks were completely scrapped, and 370 to 380 soldiers were killed or wounded.
In comparison, Huacang's losses were much smaller.
It was a small victory, but the war was not over yet.
…
"The nearest mountain road to Aris, I guess that would be their best supply route..."
He Er was appointed as the supreme commander by Chai Su in this battle.
"I suggest cutting off their supply lines and engaging in a protracted war!"
"They can also choose other supply routes..."
"That would be even more costly, and the supplies that can be transported still wouldn't be enough to sustain a protracted war."
Everyone was talking, and He Er was silent for a while.
"This time, the enemy lost because they were too hasty. We can't be complacent. Cutting off their supply lines is certainly a good idea, but how? Blowing up the mountain with tanks? Now that we're at that distance, do you think they're blind?"
"Commander He, if we don't pursue them now, are we going to wait for their follow-up troops to arrive and recover before we strike again?"
A dark-skinned man retorted.
"Let me think about it."
He Er looked at the simple sand table model in front of him and fell into deep thought.
"Big targets are easy to spot, so why not use small ones? But that would be like a suicide squad..."
What they can think of, the other side may not be unable to think of. Once they deploy heavy troops there in advance, the group responsible for the task of blasting the mountain will basically never return.
The spirit of the suicide squad does exist, but the war has not yet reached a stalemate, so there is no need to make such sacrifices.
In this situation, launching an airstrike would be the best option...
Airstrike...
His eyes lit up. A month ago, Chai Su had formed an air force consisting of 30 fighters and bombers. However, it had been undergoing training. The enemy clearly had no air defense weapons, and low-altitude bombing would cut off the supply lines...
This is the best option at the moment.
When he thought of this, he immediately sent someone to ask Chai Su for instructions.
…
"bombing?"
Chai Su frowned, but soon relaxed.
The price of nearly five thousand for an airplane made him feel very distressed, and there were also quota restrictions, including for pilots, but for now this was indeed the best way to shorten the war.
Thinking of this, he immediately gave the order.
Agree to carry out the bombing mission.
…
9:50 pm.
Huacang Air Force Base.
Five bombers took off and headed for the coordinates marked by the ground forces.
Fly all the way.
…
Yaris rear supply station...
"There seems to be some problems on the front line..."
"Come on, how can a place without even a capital city possibly repel the forces of the Kingdom of Aris?"
"What are you talking about? Stand guard..."
"yes!"
The two men straightened their bodies.
