Chapter 331: Chapter 234: Urban Siege (Second Update)_2
Chan Country itself didn’t have any drone production capability; these drones were all previously supplied by the Eight Nation Group, which also trained nurous drone operators for Chan Country.
The drones being deployed were mainly suicide-style crossing drones and consur-grade multi-rotor drones.
By mounting hand grenades, mortar shells, anti-tank rockets, and self-destructive explosives, they could be used for reconnaissance, surveillance, and attack missions.
They could not only strike infantry but also target the weak spots of tanks such as the rear and tracks, destroying armored units.
However, as these drones approached Jiwei City, they began experiencing varying degrees of remote control signal disruption, and the video transmission beca intermittent.
The closer they got, the more severe the signal interference beca, until finally the drones disappeared without a trace.
...
Even the drones’ magnetic compasses malfunctioned, making it impossible to discern directions; most of them spiraled down to crash or hit walls, returning to mother earth.
This left the Chan Country Governnt Army’s drone operators completely bewildered, speculating that Jieke Group had set up a large number of counterasure devices to cause the interference.
“The group’s gadget is really useful.”
Valenkin praised repeatedly as he watched this scene through his binoculars.
Behind him, in the room, a machine was operating.
It looked like a drone jamr, and indeed it was, only it had been enhanced a bit by Ghost Bride.
In more common terms, it had been enchanted.
Han Ruyan had the ability to block signals; when she attacked the Siam CIA’s base, she disabled the entire base’s ability to communicate with the outside world.
Since drones are controlled and send images via radio, interrupting the signal is like flying a kite, and if the string is cut, you no longer have control over the kite.
The thod Ghost Bride used to enchant these drone jamrs was simple: she added so ashes from Paperman into them, boosting the jamrs’ power.
It sounds incredible and utterly unscientific.
But creatures like Fierce Ghost, with their bizarre and outrageous nature, are inherently beyond human comprehension.
When these enchanted drone jamrs were turned on, the approaching drones were dood.
Even the drones with so anti-interference capabilities, in the face of these enchanted jamrs, could only crash disastrously.
With the drones obstructed and ineffective, Chan Country could only deploy ground troops.
Large numbers of armored units, cautiously advancing under the cover of infantry, pushed towards Jiwei City.
By then, Jiwei City had already been transford into a fortress of war; these Chan Country troops entered the urban area and were imdiately subjected to heavy fire.
…
At a window ledge, two Jieke Soldiers felt the vibrations beneath their feet.
One of them, serving as an observer, was looking through a hollowed-out hole in the wall, watching the enemy movents outside.
“A total of eight infantry, one tank, thirty ters away, get ready.”
The observing soldier raised his hand while the soldier next to him, holding a rocket launcher, crouched and hoisted the launcher onto his shoulder.
“Now, blow it up.”
The soldier with the rocket launcher, upon hearing the command, quickly popped his head out from the ledge.
What ca into view was a tank passing down the street, flanked by several accompanying infantry.
Bang!
The rocket was fired. Without looking at the result, the two Jieke Soldiers quickly retreated.
Behind them, a loud explosion erupted as the rocket hit the side of the tank.
The rocket’s tallic jet penetrated up to 600mm of homogeneous steel. Chan Country’s outdated tanks, mostly not equipped with explosive reactive armor, had side armor plates only 60mm thick, which were utterly inadequate for protection.
After the explosion, a small hole appeared on the side of the tank, but the crew mbers inside were severely wounded by the tal jet, killing two instantly, leaving the other two critically injured.
The tank moved a ter or two, spewing black smoke, its hatch opened, and the tank driver struggled to crawl out.
The belatedly aware Chan Country Soldiers then vigorously opened fire toward the window ledge, and so even attempted to storm the room.
But as soon as they entered, they triggered the trap mines set up there, shrapnel piercing through flesh as cries of agony rose.
…
In another location, a hidden sniper positioned himself within a high-rise building.
Tipasang, aged twenty-two, had beco a glorious Super Soldier after passing the physical adaptability screening by using Strengthening Pills.
Although only a Third-class Super Soldier, he couldn’t match the Second-class Super Soldiers who could swallow three to five Strengthening Pills, let alone those wearing impenetrable Battle Armor and mowing down enemies like cutting grass.
But within this heavy composite brigade, he was still a well-known ace sniper.
“Little darling, co a bit closer.”
Chewing gum, Tipasang, who had no assigned spotter, always preferred to operate like a lone wolf.
Through his sniper scope, he saw an infantry platoon searching through the block, hoping to secure it and establish a foothold for the Chan Country Army.
Dozens of n were checking every building and floor slowly, not only inefficiently but also exposing themselves under the sunlight.
Tipasang didn’t fire blindly; instead, he contacted the self-propelled howitzer unit in the rear and reported the enemy’s position.
Without much waiting, three 152mm shells smashed into the street district three minutes later, instantly killing half of the infantry platoon on the spot in a bloody scene.
The surviving soldiers were dazed and confused by the explosion, unable to tend to the wounded before Tipasang made his move.
Click!
A round was chambered into the sniper rifle, and the next mont, the trigger was pulled.
A bullet shot out of the barrel and, in less than a second, drilled into the eye socket of a Chan Country Soldier several hundred ters away, blowing away half of his skull.
“Enemy attack!”
“Where is the enemy?”
“I don’t know, the bullet seed to co from that direction.”
The group of Chan Country Soldiers shouted loudly; so quickly sought cover, while others picked up their rifles and began firing wildly in the general direction.
Tipasang, unhurried, pulled the bolt again, ejecting the spent casing and chambering a new round.
Bang!
Another soldier’s head burst open, dying a grueso death.
Tipasang calmly fired shot after shot, almost never missing, precisely sniping Chan Country Soldiers.
The remarkable five senses and physical qualities of Super Soldiers made each a match for ace sharpshooters.
Many soldiers couldn’t figure out where the shots were coming from and were bewildered when their heads exploded.
After several shots, Tipasang packed up his sniper rifle and moved to another sniping point.
Because he didn’t know whether his position had been exposed.
If exposed, what awaited him was not an enemy sniper duel but most likely an artillery strike from the enemy.
Thus, he couldn’t linger in one place, for even Super Soldiers could not withstand a shell hitting them.
anwhile, on the streets, those Chan Country Soldiers continued to hide behind building covers, daring not to move.
In the complex and changing urban environnt, the fear brought upon the soldiers by a sniper was even stronger than that by armored vehicles—at least with the latter, one could understand where the enemy was attacking from, while with the forr, one couldn’t even see the person.
…
Four kiloters away from Tipasang, an armored personnel carrier of the Chan Country Governnt was driving down the street, its crew in a panic.
They had just been attacked by an anti-tank mobile squad. Fortunately, the several rocket launchers and anti-tank missiles aid at them missed, allowing their escape; in a blind panic, they took a wrong turn on the city road and beca lost.
As they passed a street corner, they were unaware that a dangerous hunter had set his sights on them.
In a street-facing shop of a building, the roller shutter of the first floor rose, revealing a heavy composite brigade’s tank hidden inside.
As the tank slowly turned its turret, its front half drove out of the shop and the cannon aid at the armored vehicle, firing a shell swiftly.
Boom!
In an instant, the personnel carrier was turned into a pile of scrap tal, all crew mbers killed.
After confirming the kill, the tank slowly reversed back into the shop, pulling down the shutter and waiting for the next prey.
Similar scenes were playing out across Jiwei City, lacking the intelligence and reconnaissance vision provided by drones; the Chan Country Soldiers who plunged into the fray were caught off guard.
