73: Bombing (please add)

However, the imagination was beautiful; even though the Armored Personnel Carrier had been completely destroyed by Li Xiao, the five infantry fighting vehicles still had heavy machine guns, and the thirty tanks also had coaxial machine guns.

The combined firepower still caused heavy casualties for the Second Echelon.

The only fortunate thing was that dozens of civilian vehicles had broken through to the front line, providing the soldiers lying there with over twenty heavy machine guns, ammunition, and cover.

This became the only unit Li Xiao currently had that could inflict damage on the Black Hawk Unit.

But they were subsequently suppressed by mortar fire and light and heavy machine gun fire from the high-rise buildings behind the gas station.

Continue the attack! Push forward at all costs!

The Second Echelon had already suffered 30% casualties, and the squad channel was filled with the players' lamentations; at this moment, Li Xiao couldn't care about much else.

Has Liu Nian arrived yet?

Almost there! Three more minutes!

Just like when the Black Hawk Empire attacked the Tian Yu Forces, after the combined arms regiment split its forces to defend the four routes, there were no defenders left in the city. Liu Nian led ten thousand people running all the way, and the streets were filled with the clatter of military boots.

Three minutes sounded very easy when said by Liu Nian, but for the four battlefields, every second meant dozens or hundreds of people dying.

Finally, when the Second Echelon's casualties exceeded half, dense gunfire and cannon fire erupted from behind the toll station, and Liu Nian's infiltration unit launched a full-scale offensive.

Each combat squad quickly captured the buildings along the street behind the toll station according to the predetermined plan, quickly annihilating the Black Hawk Unit lurking upstairs.

The Black Hawk Unit defending the toll station was suddenly caught in a pincer attack from both sides and immediately panicked; a dozen tanks immediately turned their turrets to bombard the Xiao Yao Unit inside the buildings.

But how could their firepower stop thousands of troops swarming up? Before they could fire a few shots, the toll station had already been submerged by Liu Nian's troops.

But just at this moment, a rumbling sound came from the sky. Li Xiao was muttering that the sound was somewhat familiar, and then a terrifying whistling sound came from overhead.

No! It's bombers! Everyone get down!

Li Xiao only had time to roar this into the squad channel before a heavy aerial bomb landed and exploded within fifty meters of him.

The huge explosion, accompanied by a piercing sonic boom, spread instantly, and the shockwave arrived immediately, knocking him over several body lengths.

Then, an invisible pressure immediately made Li Xiao feel an unbearable pain in his chest and abdomen, and breathing became exceptionally difficult.

About a second later, a large amount of sand and rocks fell onto him.

Cough, cough...

Li Xiao struggled to get up and opened his sand-filled eyelids; only then did he see that his Life Pool had decreased by five thousand in his field of vision.

This made him gasp; before he lay down, he had seen that large aerial bomb land more than fifty meters away, and he should have been at the edge of the explosion range.

Even so, he still took nearly five thousand points of damage.

He dared not imagine how tragic the center of the explosion would be.

But there was no need to imagine it anymore; five bombers dropped hundreds of heavy aerial bombs along the highway to the front of the toll station.

The Xiao Yao Unit, crowding the highway for two kilometers, was immediately hit hard, with nearly eight thousand casualties.

A large number of vehicles were blown off the road, and the highway and the toll station passage area were covered with huge craters over ten meters in diameter.

The Xiao Yao Unit, which had originally been holding firm in front of the toll station, was directly wiped out.

Li Xiao was stunned and speechless; he had thought about the various defensive measures of the Black Hawk Empire, and he had even thought about reinforcements from the peripheral Black Hawk army units.

But he had never thought about the sky; this loophole made him pay a painful price and caused dozens of players to die on the spot.

Quick! All Medics, enter the field to rescue!

Li Xiao shouted in the squad channel, trying hard to control the players' emotions.

At this time, the teammates in the other three directions seemed to have also learned of the earth-shattering explosion here.

Yun Dongliu was the first to call and ask about the situation; when Li Xiao told him about the losses, he also fell silent.

Li Xiao, don't panic, the battle isn't over yet! Pull yourself together!

After Yun Dongliu finished speaking, he hung up the voice call, and Liu Nian, who was in the city, saw the tragedy outside the toll station; his eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and he directly ordered all troops to push forward.

Finally, the C4 explosives on the dozen tanks and combat vehicles that were blocking Liu Nian were detonated by hundreds of brave soldiers, and they were engulfed in fireballs along with these imperial iron hulks.

Seeing the explosion at the toll station, Li Xiao couldn't care about blaming himself; taking advantage of this opportunity, he finally sent out his trump card unit.

Because he was worried about being locked onto by enemy mortars, Li Xiao had his First Platoon, Second Platoon, and the hundreds of meng hu off-road vehicles of the squad members hide in the fields beside the highway in the rear first, which allowed them to survive the bombing.

Under the cover of the thousands of surviving soldiers of the Second Echelon, this batch of off-road vehicles rushed toward the tank group.

The infantry fighting vehicles and the dozen tanks that discovered the military off-road vehicles appearing quickly turned their muzzles from the large group of infantry to this batch of new vehicles.

Boom!

A tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectile pierced through the front of an off-road vehicle, drilled directly into the vehicle, and the fuse detonated the projectile body, causing the entire vehicle to disintegrate on the spot.

Facing such a close distance, the tank guns had an almost 100% hit rate; within half a minute, after two rounds of salvos, more than thirty off-road vehicles were destroyed.

But that was all; because Liu Nian's troops had completely surrounded the toll station, trapping the tank unit, including all combat vehicles.

Countless C4 explosives were stuck onto the armored vehicles.

After a deafening, earth-shaking roar, the Xi City toll station was declared captured!

The more than fifteen thousand survivors of the Third and Fourth Echelons, who had been bombed, shouted as they rushed into the city.

At the same time, the combined arms regiment began to retreat with the forces from the other three directions to the streets near the municipal building where the regimental headquarters was located.

The five major units of the Xiaoyao Squad, totaling more than forty-two thousand people, surrounded the area around the municipal building and gradually advanced, using the buildings on both sides of the street as cover.

Quick! Use tanks to block the streets for me! Move all the fuel drums to the road and douse those vehicles; firmly prevent the Otherworlder troops from advancing even an inch!

At the municipal building, the mood of the combined arms regiment commander, Lieutenant Colonel Chen Jun, could be described as being surrounded on all sides and ambushed from all directions.

Despite all his precautions, he never expected that he would follow in the footsteps of the original Tian Yu Forces, with his defense line collapsing because of infiltration within the city.

Even with the reinforcements from the bombers, the defeat could no longer be saved.

Now, he could probably only live and die with Xi City; even if he escaped on the military transport helicopter on the roof, he would probably not be able to escape the judgment of a military court.

Lao Xiao! The tanks are too tough; heavy machine guns can't shake them at all, and the streets are blocked by a large number of burning obstacles. Charging in like this is no different from throwing our lives away! Unless we use men to fill the gap!

No! Li Xiao quickly stopped him, saying: We cannot let our troops die in vain anymore. We have already lost more than half; have everyone stand by! I have a plan!
