The remaining tanks of the Lions Empire crossed over the burning wreckage of their comrades and continued to squirm forward. They really did not dare to give up easily this time, because the top leaders of the Lions Empire had received the exact news.
It seems that the Tang army is almost ready to repair the airport in Beiling.
If the Tang army were allowed to use the airport in Beiling, things would be completely different: once thunder and lightning attack aircraft began to appear in the sky of Bunas, all actions on the ground would be suppressed.
At that time, it would not be easy to assemble a large-scale army to attack, and it would be even more impossible to recapture Bunas.
The shelling temporarily stopped, and the opponent's attacking troops had already approached more than 500 meters in front of the position. The mortars of the Tang Army's paratroopers began to fire, and the shells fell into the dense crowd of Bunas troops as if they had eyes.
.
Soldiers fell one after another on the path of attack, and more soldiers rushed up, stepping on the corpses of their companions. It seemed that Bunas's troops were red-eyed, and they had forgotten their cowardice.
"For His Majesty the Emperor!" In the crowd, an officer muttered by Ryans loudly encouraged his soldiers. The soldiers around him also shouted: "For His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Bang!" There was an inconspicuous gunshot in the noisy position. The officer of the Lions Empire, who had been waving his arms to direct his men to attack just now, fell down in the crowd while clutching his chest.
The distance between the two sides was increasing, and the tanks of the Lions Empire had already crossed the range of grenades. Their tracks ran over the corpses left behind by the previous attack, and they rushed towards the steaming land.
Obviously, they walked further than the last time, closer to the Tang Army's position. And the soil that had been turned over by artillery fire was now stuck to the tracks of the tank, rolling along with the tracks.
"Grenade!" Xiang Ziyu heard the officer of the 1st company shouting the command in the distance, and then a series of bangs of rifle grenades were heard from the position closest to the enemy.
More intensive small explosions disturbed the attacking Lines Empire soldiers, who had to frequently lie down and get up to avoid the mortar shells and rifle grenades falling from the sky.
The soldiers of the Lions Empire also began to fight back with grenades. They inserted the grenades into the muzzles of their rifles, knelt down on one knee and threw them towards the Tang Army's position. Soon, explosive flowers bloomed on the Tang Army's position, and some soldiers were injured.
shouted the medics.
In the mud rolled over by the tanks, the soldiers of the Lines Empire shouted slogans and pushed an anti-tank gun forward. The thick mantlet could provide them with good cover, and once the artillery was pushed into a suitable position,
It was enough to threaten most of the Tang army's defensive positions.
The bullet hit the artillery body and splashed a cloud of sparks. The Lions Empire soldiers hiding behind the gun shield paused their advance, huddled and waited for the Tang army's firepower to stop.
Xiang Ziyu also saw the advancing anti-tank gun, and of course he knew that it would not be good news for them if it got close.
It's a pity that there are not many anti-tank missiles left just added, and there are many more threatening tanks waiting for him to deal with...
Fortunately, they also have a lot of individual rocket launchers. They don't have the range of anti-tank missiles, nor are they as accurate, but they are lighter and more numerous.
Soon paratroopers fired rockets at the anti-tank gun, and there were more than one rocket in more than one direction.
Three rockets exploded next to the anti-tank gun almost at the same time. The flying shrapnel engulfed the gun. It is not known whether the target was destroyed.
However, everyone saw that the anti-tank gun that had finally been pushed up did not move anymore. It was very likely that the gun crew members who followed the artillery advance suffered heavy casualties.
The battle had just begun, but Xiang Ziyu was already feeling the pressure. It was obvious that the opponent had no intention of giving up easily this time, and it seemed that the amount of troops invested was not something that his paratrooper battalion could easily withstand.
On the Lions Empire side, what just happened made Paul, the organizer of this attack, completely desperate.
Because just now, when he was about to invest more tanks and more infantry, overwhelming him as a general with all his belongings, and breaking through the Tang army's defense line in one breath... his communication channel was interfered with.
That's right, now the communications in the Lions Empire have begun to be paralyzed, and there are problems with all troop dispatches, and all of this is not the most fatal thing.
For Paul, the most critical thing is of course - the Tang Army's electronic warfare aircraft is coming! The meaning behind this is too obvious. If the airport in Beiling is not put into use, then the Tang Empire's navy is close to Buna
Damn it!
No matter which answer it is, it is not good news for Paul. Because this represents Tang Jun's greatest advantage, which has begun to play a role.
Soon, his worries began to come true: two Tang Army intruder attack aircraft appeared over the battlefield, using air-to-ground missiles to destroy the second batch of Lanes Empire tanks that were gathering.
The battlefield was filled with smoke, but the familiar and reassuring sound of jet engines echoing in the sky boosted the morale of the Tang army. Although Lines also had jet fighters, the sound of the Mirage 1's engine was completely different from that of the invaders.
, it is easy to distinguish.
Xiang Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief, because with the support of naval carrier-based aircraft, their pressure would definitely be reduced a lot. Seeing that the tanks on the opposite side began to become chaotic, this already explained the problem.
When the Flying Shark fighter jets began to hover in the sky, the Lions Empire's offensive came to a halt. After leaving the bodies of about 1,000 soldiers, the Lions Empire's last effort to rush towards Bunas ended in failure.
.
When the Tang Army had no air support before, they were unable to penetrate the Tang Army's defenses. Now that the Tang Army has aircraft support, it will be even more difficult to win.
Paul needs time to regain his composure, or in other words, he needs time to think about whether to return to Yucheng to defend or continue to maintain the offensive posture near Bunas.
After all, Bunas is not an isolated city. Whether the Tang army brings reinforcements from the sea or goes south from Beiling, it can transport a large amount of materials and personnel to the Bunas front line.
Don't forget, there is another problem before Paul: Is there another road from Beiling to Jade City? If the Tang army attacks Ice Crystal City and outflanks the main force of the Lions Empire in Jade City... then it will really happen.
