“Boom!”
Bursts of explosions rang out, and when the silver-gray monster with a thousand hands and a hundred eyes closed most of its eyes, the armored battalion of the Neon Sakura Ground Self-Defense Force was basically wiped out.
However, just as Vice Admiral Kojima, who had already died in the battle, had expected, before the entire army was wiped out, several missiles hit the monster, causing it to roar.
"roar--!!!"
The roar was like thunder, and the remaining infantry used anti-tank and other large weapons to fire, but with little effect.
But what is more serious is that this infantry brigade, which currently has more than 7,000 soldiers, has lost its high-level command!
Lieutenant General Yasushi Kojima, commander-in-chief of the Sakura City Defense Command, died suddenly on the spot. Embarrassingly, Major General Kurosaki, commander of the Sakura City Garrison Infantry Brigade, was with Lieutenant General Kojima and was also killed by the monster.
Not only that, the chief of staff and the regiment commander of the Sakuradu Garrison Infantry Brigade were also killed. Now the only surviving senior officer in the entire brigade is a colonel staff officer who is a theorist and has never actually commanded an army.
It can be said that the silver-gray monster with a thousand hands and a hundred eyes accidentally cut off the opponent's command center.
Even if this army of 7,000 people has extraordinary abilities, there is no way they can display them now.
The bullets that could easily take a person's life were like weak and powerless rubber here, not even enough to tickle the silver-gray monster. What were coming and going were actually some howitzers, heavy snipers and rockets.
Although the silver-grey monster no longer blinked, with a roar from the monster, thousands of arms began to dance in unison in an instant. The scene was enough to make people with intensive phobia die on the spot. Hundreds of arms attacked the army!
Although the fired ammunition can effectively curb the growth of the arms, distant water cannot produce nearby fire after all. The Self-Defense Force soldiers were treated as soldiers to be mowed down in the game, and suffered heavy casualties!
Of course, the soldiers’ resistance was not in vain. The silver-grey monster’s arms were riddled with holes, and the bloody marks left by the ammunition bombing were clearly visible.
However, even if part of the arm was destroyed, the silver-gray monster would definitely grow a new arm, and this would repeat over and over again, seemingly endlessly.
Faced with such a horrific monster, the Self-Defense Force soldiers were in despair. Although the current casualty rate was 16.7%, which had not yet reached the 30% that was generally recognized as a collapse, the eyes of the Self-Defense Force soldiers were now filled with fear.
Yes, although in theory a 30% casualty rate can cause a modern army to collapse, most armies can still be reduced to 35% to 45% under the leadership of a commander.
After all, not all armies have a will of steel.
However, the enemy they are facing now is not the enemy army they encountered on the battlefield, but a monster with a thousand hands and a hundred eyes that has killed thousands of people and destroyed trillions of dollars in economy!
As a master once said, the oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear; the oldest and strongest fear comes from the unknown.
People often feel a little scared when facing unfamiliar things. When facing such a monster, especially when it destroyed most of the tanks and US planes like cutting vegetables, all the soldiers were terrified.
"Let's run away. We're at the back and the monster won't notice us!"
The soldier who was hiding in the rearmost building and secretly sniping at the silver-gray monster suddenly stopped sniping and said to his comrades around him: "Do you want to continue to serve His Majesty?"
"Of course I don't want to, but being a deserter seems..."
"Life is more important! Besides, the defense commander, brigade commander, chief of staff, and regiment commander are all dead. Who can catch us as deserters?!"
The soldier who had just spoken up to escape began to pack his things, ready to flee from this Shura-like battlefield at any time: "Besides, we don't know if the squadron leader and the others are also preparing to escape."
"Okay, let's run together!"
The soldiers on the periphery of the battle sequence gradually disappeared. About one-third of the soldiers on the periphery disappeared. They must have become deserters out of fear of death.
However, not a single soldier in the inner battle sequence deserted, even though the monster's attack was the reason why they could not escape.
The fighting continues, the killing continues.
.....
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, according to the latest battle report, Lieutenant General Kojima Yasushi, Major General Kurosaki Shinto, Major General Takauchi Yun, Colonel Sugiyama Arata... all died in battle, sacrificing their lives for the country."
The Prime Minister, who was outside Sakura City, fell silent after hearing the assistant's report.
Of course he knew that the names he had just read out were the backbone of the Yingdu Defense Corps and the top brass of the army. If they died, the army would be left without a decision-maker!
The Prime Minister's expression turned serious. He asked his assistant, "Where are the soldiers? What are the casualties of the soldiers?!"
"Based on the current situation, the armored battalion has been completely wiped out, and the infantry brigade is also in danger."
After receiving the reply, the Prime Minister immediately looked at the map and checked the deployment like a general, but found that the troops closest to Sakura City would not arrive until tomorrow morning.
However, according to the assistant, the Sakura City Defense Infantry Brigade may not be able to support the support until tomorrow morning.
Once the infantry brigade is defeated, the entire Sakura City will fall into the hands of monsters. This kind of thing must never be allowed!
"Contact the US military. Missiles and everything can be launched, but I just need to see the body of that monster!"
The Prime Minister seemed to have made up his mind: "We only need a little blood and flesh sample, and the rest will be given to you. We don't want anything!"
After giving the order, the Prime Minister's body collapsed completely.
He closed all contact methods, opened the window, stared at the sky and the direction of Sakura City, and remained silent.
There were continuous sounds of explosions and gunfire in Sakura City. Amidst the subtle sounds, the Prime Minister suddenly saw an extremely shining light appear on the horizon!
Moreover, the shining spots of light were expanding at an extremely terrifying speed!
Not long after, the light spot that was originally only the size of a fingernail turned into a sharp object visible to the naked eye, emitting a blazing light and smashing towards here like a falling star!
In Chiyoda District, Sakura City, Li Jing, who was watching everything, slowly raised his head, frowned, and murmured: "This is the US military? What a terrible weapon."
Li Jing's military literacy was not high, but he could sense the power of this missile.
If it hits me, I will be seriously injured if I don't die.
"We can't let the US army continue. Otherwise, it will be very embarrassing if the ghost is killed by the US army. How can I harvest faith then?"
Li Jing murmured to himself and looked in the direction of the missile launch. It seemed that he saw the USS Washington aircraft carrier through countless tall buildings.
"Mirror Ghost, go and cause them a little commotion so they can't continue firing missiles!"
