Chapter 238 The battle begins!
A breeze blew, and the artemisia in the dark wilderness swayed gently, causing a ripple. Since the sky was completely covered by black clouds, there was no evaporation and flow of water vapor caused by the sunlight, and the wind on the ground became much less, especially in the wilderness, which always gave people a feeling of silence and depression.
Under a piece of weed five kilometers away from Dawn Fortress, a hare that had not yet mutated was running fast, and a pair of ruby-like eyes were full of panic. Not far behind it was the source of danger, five hideous predators. But these predators were not natural enemies in the traditional sense, but five similar ones. However, these "similars" had already mutated, with spikes all over their bodies, and two front teeth that were originally used to chew plants turned into sharp canine teeth, and there were still fishy saliva dripping from their mouths.
In the eyes of these predators, the running person in the past is a beautiful meal. A similar scene is played under every piece of artemisia in the wilderness every day.
Five meters...three meters...one meter...the distance is getting closer and closer. Although the "native" hare without mutation can gain speed advantage at the beginning, it cannot compare with its mutated similar species in terms of endurance.
It could even feel the fishy breath coming from behind. The survival instinct engraved in genes made it struggle even harder, but it was useless...
At this moment, a rumble sound suddenly came from the ground, and the gravel and soil began to jump in the vibration. The sudden sound made the hare escape, because the mutated similar species behind him seemed to be attracted by the sound and turned around and headed towards the direction where the sound came.
The hare turned around and rushed into the tall artemisia grass, escaping from this place of failure.
"Puff..." A muffled sound came, and the five mutant hares were instantly pressed into meat sauce by a wide and cold tank track.
"Buzz—" The engine's buzzing was like the howling of a buffalo. A "Kirin" main battle tank had appeared from the high artemisia, and the thick gun barrel pointed directly in front of him, ready to spray out angry flames at any time.
Next was the second, the third... Hundreds of tanks and self-propelled artillery, and a larger number of armored personnel carriers appeared from the depths of the artemisia and headed forward.
In the sky, the wings of the "Flame Mountain" armed helicopter made huge noises, blowing all the artemisia on the ground down, revealing a wider field of vision. One silver, six green and seven dazzling spots of light were suspended in front of the entire army, looking quietly ahead.
Not far ahead of this army, a strange-shaped fortress was shining with some artificial light sources, and it had already appeared faintly in the dim wilderness. It was the destination of their trip, Dawn Fortress!
If it were before the outbreak of the Resident Evil, such a city battle would have begun to fight fires dozens of kilometers or even hundreds of kilometers away. However, the electronic signals that have been completely blocked and the dimness between the world have brought the battle distance between the two sides of the war back to the state of war where hot weapons have just appeared.
"Elder, we are too close to Fortress Dawn. This distance can be completely rushed in in one go." In the sky, Wu Chi said to Xu Hao through the call system of the breeding armor. Originally, when he was more than ten kilometers away, Wu Chi had suggested Xu Hao to carry out a covering artillery bombardment, but Xu Hao rejected it because the distance was too far and accurate aiming could not be carried out in the dark. Moreover, looking at the Fortress Dawn now, there would be no defense.
After all, they walked along the way with a swagger. Except for a few mutant Zergs who occasionally passed by and some zombies in groups of three or five, they did not see any spies from the Dawn Fortress. Dawn Fortress did not notice the attack of Chuancheng Fortress, which was beyond doubt. You must know that no one could escape the detection of Xu Hao's silver-collar equipment. Moreover, all the combat vehicles were painted black and integrated with the wilderness. They could not detect them at all in the distance, and they would only feel that a gust of wind was passing through the wilderness.
Most soldiers in the Sichuan Fortress believe that this should be the reason why the Dawn Fortress is silent now. I believe that those mutants are having lunch now, and maybe they will have a beautiful afternoon nap later to have a good dream. However, their dreams will be replaced by nightmare...
After hearing Wu Chi's words, Xu Hao did not overreact this time. Wu Chi's suggestion coincided with him. It was just a distance of only five kilometers, and it only took a few minutes. The entire Sichuan City Fortress army could directly rush into the Dawn Fortress for a massacre!
"The bomber advances, carpet bombing, and the helicopter squadron advances, and covers and strikes in two minutes. The armored division and infantry division adjust the output power of the vehicle engine, and launch a lightning shock in three minutes." Because of the powerful interference of the black clouds in the sky, not all combat vehicles can connect to radio communication, so Xu Hao directly turned on the speakers installed on the silver collar and issued the order.
In the originally quiet wilderness, Xu Hao's voice immediately echoed and headed far towards the Fortress of Dawn. The sound was so huge that I thought I would immediately become alert in the Fortress of Dawn.
But even if they want to be alert now, it is too late. In a few minutes, it is enough for the Sichuan Fortress Army to launch a large-scale attack!
The bombers in the high altitude immediately advanced towards the Dawn Fortress, preparing to clear the high-explosive aviation bombs in the bomb cabin at one time and return. Conservatively estimated that these powerful aviation bombs were enough to paralyze the defense firepower of the Dawn Fortress by 50%.
All the entire Sichuan Army, including several colonists, were full of confidence and prepared the first bomb to explode to start the battle. They were even able to see the panicked faces of the mutants...
"Boom boom boom boom--" The continuous explosions came, and the huge fireballs and smoke columns created by high-explosive aviation bombs instantly ignited the entire Dawn Fortress, a sea of fire.
At the same time, fifty "Flame Mountain" armed helicopters have also been in place and have begun to spray airborne rockets continuously, as if a rain of fire was dropped in the Dawn Fortress. The reason why these armed helicopters are code-named "Flame Mountain" is because their ammunition capacity is huge and their firepower is extremely strong. Now it seems that they are truly worthy of their name. The focus of their attack is the turrets standing on the edge of the Dawn Fortress. In a blink of an eye, these turrets were completely shrouded in smoke!
"Attack!" Seeing that his air power had completely suppressed the opponent, Xu Hao roared in the phone and rushed out first.
Immediately the entire army on the ground moved in response, the engine of the chariot roared, and the tracks rolled over the long artemisia and hard ground, leaving green marks.
"Boom--" The self-propelled artillery has already fired first! The covering bombing effect obtained by the platoon gun fire was amazing, and it instantly pulled the main building of the Dawn Fortress into a sea of fire.
"Elder, the situation is wrong!" Just as Xu Hao rushed out for a while, Wu Chi behind him came over and stopped him.
Xu Hao was full of fighting spirit and was about to avenge his previous shame. When he was stopped by Wu Chi, he was immediately furious: "Wu Chi, do you believe it or not, I will slash you with one knife now!? If you want to fight for military merits, go fight yourself!"
"I don't mean that. Elder, don't you think something is wrong with Fortress Dawn?" Wu Chi was anxious and almost yelled out. Just when he noticed something was wrong, the armored legion below had rushed forward for several kilometers and had just reached the edge of Fortress Dawn.
"Our army is like chopping bamboo, and the Dawn Fortress cannot even organize resistance. What's wrong?" Xu Hao said angrily.
"It's just that there is no resistance! Elder, haven't you noticed that Fortress Dawn has not fired a single shot yet!" Wu Chi said anxiously. Even if he was sent by the Presbyterian Church to monitor Xu Hao, he could not wait to see the army of Fortress Chuancheng.
"Boom--" At this moment, a dull explosion came, and everyone felt their hearts depressed, like a punch from a god hitting the ground. Xu Hao and others in the sky could even see the ripples formed by the shaking waves of the wild grass spreading towards this place!
The land where the armored vehicles that had already rushed out collapsed instantly, and a collapse area of tens of thousands of square meters appeared, sinking them!
