Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 1830 Chapter 1831 Crisis Resolved

The remaining tanks of the Lions Empire passed the burning wreckage of their companions and continued to crawl forward. They really didn't dare to give up easily this time, because the top leaders of the Lions Empire had received accurate information that the Tang army seemed to be about to repair the Beiling airport.

If the Tang army were allowed to use the Beiling airport, things would be completely different: once 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 gather a large-scale force for an attack, and it would be even more impossible to recapture Bunas.

The shelling stopped temporarily, and the enemy's attacking force had already approached more than 500 meters in front of the position. The mortars of the Tang Army paratroopers began to work, and the shells fell into the dense crowd of Bunas's army as if they had eyes.

Soldiers fell one after another on the road of attack, and more soldiers rushed up stepping on the bodies of their companions. It seemed that Bunas's troops had been so bloodthirsty that they had forgotten their cowardice.

"For His Majesty the Emperor!" In the crowd, an officer muttered by Lions loudly encouraged his soldiers, and the soldiers around him also shouted: "For His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Bang!" An inconspicuous gunshot was heard in the noisy battlefield, and the officer of the Lions Empire, who had just been waving his arms to command his men to attack, fell down in the crowd, holding his chest.

The distance between the two sides was constantly closing, and the tanks of the Lions Empire had already exceeded the range of the rifle grenades. Their tracks ran over the bodies left behind by the previous attack and rushed towards the steaming land.

Obviously, they went further than last time and were closer to the Tang army's position. The soil that had been turned over by the artillery fire was now stuck to the tank tracks and rolled along with them.

"Rifle grenades!" 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 interfered with the attacking Lions 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 rifle grenades. They inserted the rifle grenades into the muzzles of their rifles and knelt on one knee to throw them at the Tang army positions. Soon, flowers of explosions also bloomed on the Tang army positions, and some soldiers were injured and kept shouting for the medical soldiers.

In the mud where tanks had rolled over, the soldiers of the Lions Empire shouted slogans as they pushed an anti-tank gun forward. The heavy gun shield could provide them with good cover, and once this artillery was pushed to the right position, it would be enough to threaten most of the Tang army's defensive positions.

The bullets hit the cannon, splashing sparks. The Lions Empire soldiers hiding behind the gun shield paused their advance, shrank their bodies and waited for the Tang army's firepower to stop.

Xiang Ziyu also saw the advancing anti-tank gun, and he certainly knew that it would not be good news for them if that thing got close.

Unfortunately, the anti-tank missiles that had just been replenished were running out, and there were many more threatening tanks waiting for him to deal with...

Fortunately, they still have a lot of individual rocket launchers. They don't have the range of anti-tank missiles, nor do they have such good accuracy, but they are lighter and more numerous.

Soon, paratroopers fired rockets at the anti-tank gun, and not just one direction, and not just one rocket. Three rockets exploded almost simultaneously near the anti-tank gun, and the flying shrapnel engulfed the gun, and it was unknown whether the target was destroyed.

However, everyone saw that the anti-tank gun that was pushed up with great difficulty did not move again, and it was very likely that the crew members who followed the artillery suffered heavy casualties.

The battle had just begun, but Xiang Ziyu already felt the pressure. It was obvious that the other side had no intention of giving up easily this time, and the troops deployed did not seem to be something that his paratrooper battalion could easily withstand.

On the other hand, on the Lions Empire side, what had just happened made Paul, the organizer of this attack, completely despair.

Because just now, when he was about to deploy more tanks and more infantry, and put all his assets as a general at risk, to break through the Tang army's defense line in one go... his communication channel was interfered with.

That’s right, now the communications of the Lions Empire have begun to be paralyzed, and all troop dispatches have problems, but all this is not the most fatal.

For Paul, the most fatal thing is of course - the Tang army's electronic warfare aircraft is coming! The meaning behind this is too obvious. If the Beiling airport is not put into use, then the Tang Empire's navy is approaching Bunas!

No matter which answer is given, it is not good news for Paul, because it means that the biggest advantage of the Tang army has begun to play a role.

Soon, his worries began to come true: two Tang Army Invader attack aircraft appeared over the battlefield and used air-to-ground missiles to destroy the second batch of Lions Empire tanks that were gathering.

The battlefield was filled with smoke, but the familiar and reassuring sound of the jet engines echoing in the sky still boosted the morale of the Tang army. Although Lions also had jet fighters, the engine sound of the Mirage 1 was completely different from that of the invaders, and it was easy to distinguish.

Xiang Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief, because with the support of the navy's carrier-based aircraft, their pressure would definitely be reduced a lot. Seeing the tanks on the opposite side begin to get into chaos, this was already very telling.

By the time the Flying Shark fighters began to circle in the sky, the offensive of the Lions Empire had died down. After leaving behind the bodies of about 1000 soldiers, the Lions Empire's last effort to rush to Bunas ended in failure.

Before, when the Tang army had no air force support, they had not been able to penetrate the Tang army's defense line. Now that the Tang army had aircraft support, it would be even more difficult to win.

Paul needed time to regroup, or rather, he needed time to think about whether to return to Yucheng to defend or continue to maintain the offensive posture near Burnas.

After all, Bunas is not an isolated city. Whether the Tang army sends reinforcements from the sea or goes south from Beiling, they can transport large amounts of supplies and personnel to the Bunas front line.

Don't forget, there is another problem facing Paul: there is a road from Beiling to Yucheng. If the Tang army attacks Bingjing City and outflanks the main force of the Lions Empire in Yucheng... that would be really fatal.
