154: Come on, let’s hurt each other!
"Captain, news has come from the east and south. After two hours of fierce fighting, Tang Wu and Cheng Mo have both failed to break through the defensive line. However, their forces have suffered over fifty percent casualties, and all their support firepower has been exhausted. Now, all they have left are infantry fighting vehicles and fewer than ten thousand military off-road vehicles."
Yun Dongliu read the battle reports from the other two directions to Li Xiao.
"We cannot give the enemy a chance to replenish their ammunition! The time for the general offensive has arrived!"
Li Xiao turned around and said to Liu Nian, "Lead the remaining four hundred and fifty thousand troops and all remaining vehicles to launch a group charge!"
"Understood!"
Liu Nian gave Li Xiao a clumsy military salute, then ran to the frontline command post without hesitation.
With four hundred and fifty thousand troops, if this wave failed to pierce the enemy's defensive line, then he would only have five hundred thousand reserve troops left. By then, even if they captured Weixing City, they would likely be unable to defend against threats from other squads.
Twenty thousand military off-road vehicles and fifty thousand civilian vehicles began to enter the battlefield.
Liu Nian tried hard to keep himself calm. He shouted in the command channel, "All units, regardless of primary or secondary roles, attack with full force! All infantry not riding in vehicles, use the large number of wrecked cars on the plains as cover and charge forward in alternating waves!"
After seeing the consistent confirmation replies from the various squad leaders in the command channel, Liu Nian stood in front of the command post and shouted, "Attack!"
"Attack!"
"Charge!"
Earth-shattering shouts filled the air, and the force of over four hundred thousand people launched a general offensive against the Black Hawk Unit hiding in the darkness under the illumination of the rising sun!
First came the dense swarm of civilian vehicles, then the military off-road vehicles, and then ninety-five infantry fighting vehicles!
The Black Hawk Empire seemed to realize that this was the final general offensive launched by the Xiaoyao Squad, so they sent the bomber fleet that had been circling behind Weixing City flying over.
Boom, boom, boom!!!!
This time, the bombers dropped nearly three thousand aerial bombs, and even air-to-ground guided missiles. Countless mushroom clouds instantly rose up over this five or six square kilometer battlefield.
Beneath every mushroom cloud were the corpses of dozens or hundreds of people. The enemy's rocket artillery seemed to have waited for its final spasm of effort, pouring down over a thousand rockets.
For a moment, it was impossible to see the figures of either side's troops on the battlefield.
"Attention! Prepare two anti-tank missiles!"
Under Li Xiao's personal command, the ninety-five infantry fighting vehicles hidden behind the large number of vehicles fired anti-tank missiles simultaneously, nearly twenty of which were embedded with ink crystals.
These anti-tank missiles flew across the 1.5-kilometer battlefield and drilled directly into the turrets of the main battle tank group that had pushed to the very front.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!!!!!
Amidst the flames, there was a layer of eerie blue light; that was the light emitted by the explosion of the ink crystal missiles.
These main battle tanks, whose durability had been depleted to over sixty percent, exploded directly upon being hit by the ink crystal anti-tank missiles, which could destroy them in one shot. Combined with the concentrated attacks of the ordinary anti-tank missiles, more than forty main battle tanks were written off on the spot!
However, it was not over yet. A second wave of missiles followed closely behind, taking out another thirty-plus vehicles.
"What kind of missile is this? Why can a single one blow up a main battle tank that still has over a hundred thousand durability points left!"
At the 129th Group Army command post, General Caston, who had been calm and composed, saw that nearly half of his prized main battle tank force on the front line had suddenly vanished.
"Report, General! They seem to have used a new type of high-damage anti-tank missile!"
"A new type of anti-tank missile! Where did these outlanders get this technology? Even our Black Hawk Empire hasn't mastered it!"
"General, what should we do next?"
Caston stood up from his chair and threw a pencil onto the battlefield map.
"Order the Army Aviation Regiment to enter the battlefield immediately and coordinate with the infantry fighting vehicles to quickly wipe out their armored forces! Also! The special operations brigade is ready to act!"
While Li Xiao and his team were still urgently reloading anti-tank missiles for their infantry fighting vehicles, nearly eight hundred anti-tank missiles from the Black Hawk Empire fell upon the heads of the Xiaoyao Squad's infantry fighting vehicle group.
After a barrage of intense bombing, not a single one of the ninety-five infantry fighting vehicles was damaged!
"This! How is this possible!"
Caston, who had just taken a sip of coffee, looked at the latest footage transmitted back by the high-altitude drone on the large electronic screen. When he discovered that those infantry fighting vehicles were still reloading ammunition after being bombarded by over eight hundred anti-tank missiles, he immediately spat his coffee all over the floor.
Everyone in the command post was stunned. Eight hundred anti-tank missiles—calculating an average of one hundred thousand damage points for light armor—meant each infantry fighting vehicle would have sustained eight or nine hundred thousand points of damage. This level of lethality would have wrecked them even with triple the health points.
Yet, not only were these infantry fighting vehicles fine, they didn't even smoke.
The players of the Xiaoyao Squad were just as surprised as they were. They had originally thought that their armored force would likely not survive this wave of attacks, but a miracle had happened right before their eyes.
Li Xiao said calmly, "The soldiers responsible for reloading ammunition have been killed. Replacement troops, go up and reload the missiles immediately!"
However, even though he didn't say it, Xuan Yu, Qin Luming, and Yun Dongliu all cast puzzled glances at him.
In fact, Li Xiao was overjoyed inside, because this morning, to ensure the safety of the armored force, he had distributed eight or nine million durability points from the Life Pool to these forty Lynx infantry fighting vehicles in Xi City.
He had initially thought that the fact he could add durability points to vehicles probably wouldn't be able to be kept secret, but he discovered that Liu Nian and the other commanders couldn't see the information about the added durability points on the infantry fighting vehicles at all.
In their eyes, these extra durability points simply didn't appear.
And after the infantry fighting vehicles destroyed more than seventy main battle tanks just now, he had immediately added all the durability points back on.
Therefore, before being attacked, these newly acquired infantry fighting vehicles already had nearly one million durability points, so they naturally withstood the otherwise fatal blow just now.
However, that was only for this wave. Right now, apart from Li Xiao's fifty-five infantry fighting vehicles, the infantry fighting vehicles in Xi City had less than one hundred thousand durability points left.
A few minutes later, the Xiaoyao Squad's infantry fighting vehicles reloaded their missiles again, firing two in succession just like before. This time, their targets were the four hundred damaged infantry fighting vehicles hiding behind the tanks, which were still urgently reloading anti-tank missiles.
The group of one hundred and ninety mixed anti-tank missiles—ink crystal, Thunder Snake, and TOW—split into two waves and plunged into the vehicle group one after another.
The Black Hawk Unit was instantly engulfed in towering flames, and screams rose one after another. Nearly two hundred infantry fighting vehicles, which only had eighty or ninety thousand durability points left, were turned into wreckage in the missile explosions.
"Haha! Satisfying, so satisfying!"
"Awesome!"
"That's so cathartic!"
"Xiaoyao Squad is the GOAT!"
