Capítulo 1690: Chapter 1607: Carpet Bombing
On the battlefield, the Tang Country soldiers of the 9th Corps were a bit confused. They couldn’t figure out why the enemy had suddenly beco so fierce, even to the extent of being described as fearless of death.
The Dwarf soldiers charging in dense waves were frenzied. Even as their comrades’ blood splattered on their faces, they couldn’t be stopped from advancing.
They shouted, holding their weapons and attacking without regard for the cost. Sotis, even suppressed by machine guns, they still didn’t evade. It was as if they weren’t facing death, but a party.
“Sothing’s wrong! The Dwarfs on the other side aren’t right!” Behind an armored vehicle, the Battalion Commander, who had temporarily set up a defensive line, muttered with a frown as he observed the enemy’s attack.
He couldn’t pinpoint what was wrong, but these Dwarfs undeniably gave off an indescribable sense of discord. The enemy seed not like living beings but more like ghosts, zombies…
“Damn it, ammo! We need ammo!” Above him, the hatch of the armored vehicle’s turret was lifted, and the vehicle commander popped his head out, shouting to the people in the distance: “Where’s the supply vehicle? Has anyone seen our supply vehicle?”
“It’s better to use the radio inside the vehicle than shouting like this!” The Battalion Commander raised his head and yelled at the vehicle commander, then imdiately realized a small issue… or rather, what exactly was the source of that sense of discord from the Dwarfs.
“They didn’t shout ‘Ura’! The slogan they always shout during every attack… this ti, they didn’t shout it…” While observing the battlefield, the Battalion Commander ordered the officer beside him: “These Dwarfs must be ntally off! Can you find a way to capture a few alive?”
“Commander! Given the current situation, do you think we can capture any alive?” The officer responded with a wry smile. He really wanted to point out to his commander that the attacking Dwarfs were almost like beasts now.
Even getting close made him fear the opponent might suddenly leap up and bite his ear. Facing such enemies, it was safer to eliminate them from afar with machine guns… no, using rockets from afar to wipe them out would be even safer.
While they were engaged in fierce firefighting with the Dwarf troops, two ard helicopters suddenly appeared in the sky. The distinctive spherical cockpit of the Mi-24 was very recognizable and imposing on the battlefield.
The fad aesthetic of Soviet-style violence was not illusory; its pure power and coldness made many weapons beco “heretic” representatives in their respective fields. For instance, the huge underwater monster Typhoon, the ballistic missile Topol, or the Mi-24, MiG-25…
Two Mi-24s flew one after the other over the Tang Army’s position and then launched a series of rockets towards the depth of the Dwarf troops.
The white smoke trails extended from under the helicopter’s short wings to an unseen point, followed by black smoke columns rising on the horizon.
Facing ground units that weren’t fully dispersed, the helicopter’s collaboration with rocket sweeping, complented by machine gun sweeps to fill in gaps, was extrely efficient.
In just a dozen seconds, the battlefield seed to quiet down all at once: on the Tang Army’s side, they observed that the Dwarf troops had ceased their attack, and reinforcents were arriving one after another. The logistics troops also tily delivered supplies.
“Headquarters? This is 2nd Battalion! The recent attack by the Dwarf troops seed very unusual! I think there’s sothing wrong with them! I can’t say for sure, but in any case, I need more professional personnel at the frontline for a detailed analysis.” The Battalion Commander grabbed the communicator and described the recent battle situation to his superior.
If it weren’t for the suppressive firepower of the helicopters being too strong, they wouldn’t have easily withstood the Dwarfs’ assault. Those damn Dwarves, we don’t know why they suddenly fought so desperately.
“I also don’t have ti to deal with such matters…” On the other side of the radio, the Regint Commander was evidently overwheld: “Handle it yourself, I can provide you with supplies, but you need to hold on for now! The Dwarfs are attacking on all fronts, and they seem to be using everything they have.”
This Battalion Commander of the Army Infantry Battalion didn’t know, but along a broad front, the Dwarfs had launched a full-scale counterattack. This counterattack involved not only ground troops; their aerial forces seed to have gone all out as well.
The Tang Country Air Force had already deployed over 100 Yinglong Fighter Jets urgently, yet they still couldn’t shoot down those Dwarf fighter units that attacked like a swarm.
Soon, there was no need for the Regint Commander to explain because this Battalion Commander, holding the communicator, looked up and saw a dense formation of “T”-shaped aircraft flying from a distance.
Those clearly weren’t Tang Army aircraft because Tang Army’s aircraft haven’t used propellers for a long ti. Those aircraft with propeller engines mounted under their twin wings resembled things used by the Great Tang Empire many years ago.
“Damn… these guys aren’t planning to… drop bombs here, are they?” The Tang Army’s Battalion Commander muttered instinctively while holding the communicator and looking up.
In fact, these were all Dwarf Saab Bombers. Their flying speed was slow, and their range was average, with almost no advantages.
However, this type of aircraft was still the mainstay of the Dwarf bomber force. Their deploynt this ti was to inform the Tang Army ground troops that the Dwarfs too had bombs!
Accompanied by the roar of engines, these Saab Bombers flying over the frontline opened their bomb bays one after another, revealing the 250-kilogram bombs suspended inside with a nacing presence.
Everyone learns from their warti experiences. After successive failures, the Elves and Dwarfs finally realized that with their rusty scraps, they could never threaten the Tang Army’s strategic depth.
Since they couldn’t threaten the strategic depth, they might as well directly hit the frontline positions… Hence, this ti, the Saab Bombers, hidden behind hundreds of jet fighters, primarily targeted the Tang Army’s frontline defense positions.
The orderly formation of bombers flew over the Tang Army, and on one side of the formation, missiles from the Tang Army struck, consecutively hitting several Saab Bombers dropping their payloads.
Still, most of the bombers began dropping their payloads, hurling the cumberso bombs hung underneath their bellies into the intense air.
Soon, rolling smoke columns rose from the ground, the earth trembled violently, and the choking smoke and dust covered the Tang Army’s position.
For a mont, many frontline units lost contact. The Tang Army, for the first ti in history, faced a carpet bombing by over a hundred bombers, asphyxiating smoke pervading the entire battlefield.
