Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 1840 1841 Looking for bad luck

Just the day after Paul made up his mind to squeeze the rich and nobles in Yucheng, Tang Jun's planes couldn't help but start taking action.

The sky was gloomy early in the morning, as if foreshadowing a storm was coming. The air was filled with a strange smell of gunpowder and mud, which was suffocating.

The sun struggled to penetrate the thick clouds, casting a few faint rays of light. Although the weather was not very good, two silver-gray lightning attack aircraft appeared in the eastern sky, breaking the tranquility of the suburbs.

They were like two sharp knives, cutting through the dull sky with a deafening roar.

The two attack planes lowered their flight altitude and circled several times in the sky above the north of the Lions Empire, seemingly looking for a suitable target to attack. Then, the rocket launchers under their wings spewed out dazzling flames, and rockets dragged white tails and carried the breath of death, whistling towards the Lions Empire defense zone that was digging a defense line.

The earth was shaking, the flames of the explosion shot up into the sky, and the dust raised covered the sky. The two Thunder attack aircraft were like predators from hell, diving repeatedly and spreading death all over the battlefield.

The rockets, with long tails of flame, accurately hit the laborers digging trenches. The sounds of explosions, screams, cries, and air raid sirens mixed together, forming a concerto of hell on earth.

The trenches were blown down, the fortifications were destroyed, and the already crude and unfinished fortifications were as vulnerable as paper under the ravages of the attack planes. The panicked workers fled in all directions, trying to find any place to hide, but the machine guns of the attack planes ruthlessly harvested their lives.

Blood dyed the ground red, broken limbs were scattered around the crater, and the air was filled with the sickening smell of blood. The once bustling construction site suddenly turned into a living hell.

The land was covered with blood, and corpses were scattered from the trenches to the edge of the woods. Frightened civilians crowded under the trees, like a group of sparrows looking up at an eagle in the sky.

They had never seen what a real war was like, and the sight of the Thunder attack plane swooping down with flames just now almost frightened them to the point of peeing their pants. That was not a terror that civilians could endure, and in fact many soldiers guarding civilians were also frightened to the point of wet their pants.

The smoke from the explosion had not yet dissipated when two Thunder attack aircraft roared and turned. Their silver-gray bodies turned into two lightning bolts and disappeared into the gloomy sky.

The frightened laborers got up from the ground and looked at the corpses all over the floor and their injured and wailing companions, their eyes filled with fear.

"Devils! They are devils!" said a middle-aged laborer in a trembling voice. He threw away the shovel in his hand and stumbled away.

"Run! Run!" Finally, someone remembered to control his body and began to follow the escaped civilian, running towards Yucheng City.

Fear spread among the crowd like a plague. In a flash, everyone fled in different directions like crazy, completely ignoring the roars and whips of the soldiers in the supervision team.

"Damn it! Come back here! Anyone who dares to escape will be shot on the spot!" An officer who was responsible for supervising the work of these laborers drew the pistol from his waist and roared hysterically at the fleeing civilians.

However, in the face of the threat of death, his roar seemed pale and powerless. No one cared about his broken gun because they had just seen something more terrifying.

"Damn! A bunch of rubbish!" The officer cursed angrily and spat on the ground. He knew it was too late to say anything now. These frightened civilians would never obey him again. "Sir, what should we do now?" A young soldier came over with a look of panic on his face.

"What else can we do? What else can we do? Can we really shoot at those fleeing bastards? Idiot!" The officer glared at him unhappily, cursed him a few times to vent his anger, and then ordered: "Contact the headquarters immediately and tell them that we were attacked by the Tang army. Many defensive positions were damaged and all the workers were scared away! Request support!"

"Yes!" The young soldier did not dare to delay and ran hurriedly to convey the order.

Yucheng, the newly established headquarters of the coalition forces.

Paul was pacing anxiously in front of the map, his brows furrowed, his face full of anxiety and uneasiness. Of course, he heard about the Tang army's air raid at the first time, but he didn't know the extent of the losses.

After hearing that the Tang army did not launch an air raid on the city center, he was somewhat relieved. It seemed that the Tang army also hoped to deter the coalition forces and occupy Yucheng, an important industrial city, without bloodshed.

"Damn Tang Army! Why are their planes so powerful? Where are our planes? Where is our radar? Why is it useless?" Paul cursed in a low voice. The air force liaison officer standing next to him was embarrassed because they really had no way to fight against the powerful Tang Empire.

Everyone knew that the Tang army had air superiority, and the coalition's radar was jammed and attacked by anti-radiation missiles, so it could not play any role in detection and guidance. Without the support of the ground radar station, the few Mirage 1 fighters equipped by the Lions Empire did not even know when to take off.

At this moment, a signalman ran in hurriedly: "Report to the commander, the No. 3 defense fortification outside the city was attacked by Tang army attack aircraft, requesting support!"

"What's the damage situation?" Paul asked quickly.

"Many fortifications were destroyed, and the conscripted civilian laborers were scared away..." The signalman quickly added: "The officers guarding the laborers did not order to shoot, so the civilians should have run back to the city."

"It was right not to shoot." Paul breathed a sigh of relief and his face turned a little rosy. It seemed that not all of his men were idiots, and some of them knew that they could not shoot to intimidate civilians.

If the people run away, you can just catch them back, or catch another group. There is no need to shoot and kill people and damage public morale.

"Send two anti-aircraft artillery companies over to help with air defense..." After thinking about it, Paul felt that such a thing could not be left unattended, so he came up with a support plan.

If his anti-aircraft artillery units did not appear in the bombed areas, it is likely that the soldiers in that area would not be able to devote their efforts to building fortifications.

Anyway, I have to appease them first, and then I can take care of other things... Paul thought to himself. Anyway, it looks like it will rain, at least in rainy weather, there will be no more Tang Jun planes coming to trouble him.
