Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 1865 1866 Disgusting
A steel behemoth, the Tang Empire's Type 96 main battle tank, rolled over a deformed and damaged steel helmet with a deafening roar. The steel tracks easily crushed the metal, making a teeth-grinding sound, as if announcing the cruelty of war.

Its huge body cast a shadow on the smoke-filled battlefield, like a prehistoric beast, crushing the enemy's heart with unstoppable momentum. It continued to charge forward without stopping, its steel tracks rolling over the war-torn land, rolling up dust and leaving deep marks.

It rolled over an obstacle made of broken walls, rubble and rubble. The temporary fortifications were like paper and vulnerable to it. Finally, the Type 96 main battle tank stopped in the middle of the intersection, with its steel tracks rubbing against the ground, making a harsh sound, as if it was issuing a final ultimatum to the enemy.

It slowly twisted the heavy turret and aimed the black main gun at the barricade in the distance that was still spewing flames. There, the enemy's machine guns were still firing wildly, trying to make a final resistance. The turret locked the target, and after a brief silence, a deafening cannon shot broke the noise of the battlefield. The shells dragged the tail flames, whistling towards the target and accurately hit the barricade.

Amid the explosion, flames shot up into the sky, the barricade was blown into a cloud of rolling black smoke, and gravel and dust were thrown into the sky, like a small earthquake. The shock wave of the explosion swept around, and the firepower of the barricade stopped instantly, leaving only the burning flames and the diffuse smoke, telling the fierceness of the battle. The Tang army's armored vehicles followed closely behind, quickly rushed through the smoke-filled battlefield, and occupied the place.

The soldiers of the Lions Empire came out one by one from the ruins, bomb craters and trenches where they were hiding. Their originally resolute eyes were now filled with fear, fatigue and despair. Their bodies were covered with traces of battle, and the mixture of mud and gunpowder gave off a pungent smell.

With trembling hands, they threw their empty rifles and machine guns to the ground. The dull sound of metal hitting metal seemed to announce the end of their resistance.

"We... we surrender!" A soldier raised his hands and shouted in a hoarse voice, his voice was full of despair and helplessness, but with a hint of relief. Other soldiers followed suit, they weakly dropped their shoulders and slowly raised their hands, indicating that they had given up resistance and were willing to accept the Tang army's prisoners.

The continuous fighting has exhausted their physical strength and will. They have used up all their ammunition and completed their mission. They don't have to worry about the rest.

In the next block, the atmosphere was extremely tense. The troops of the Lions Empire were desperately piling up obstacles, trying to block the impending steel torrent from the Tang Empire. The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder, mixed with the breath of sweat and fear. The soldiers looked solemn, and their movements were somewhat deformed due to nervousness.

There was a huge crater on the street in the distance, which was the trace left by the bombs dropped by the Tang army. At that time, the area was really shaking, and the soldiers of the Lions Empire hiding in the buildings were so scared that they almost thought they were going to be buried alive by the collapsed buildings.

Fortunately, this is already a relatively central location in the city, and the buildings are all left by the Datang Group. Although they are a few years old, the quality is still very reliable. Even though it was almost hit by an aerial bomb, the buildings on both sides have remained intact, which is a compliment to the quality of the Datang Group.

What makes the Tang army laugh and cry is that it is now very difficult for them to destroy these buildings with ammunition. It can be said that they dug a hole for themselves today.

"Hurry up! They are coming soon! The gunfire over there has stopped!" A tall Lions Empire officer yelled at the top of his lungs. He paced back and forth anxiously, pushing the slow-moving soldiers with his hands from time to time, urging them to speed up.

The Tang army and the troops of the Lions Empire were fighting outside a block, and it would not be long before the place where they were would become a position. They had no way to retreat, because not far behind them was the core command center of the Jade City defenders.

Paul had not moved his headquarters, and he himself had not thought of escaping anything. As time went on, the Jade City defenders were now divided and surrounded, and he actually had nowhere to hide.

"Damn it! There is no dangerous terrain here! What can we use to stop those steel monsters?" The officer cursed in a low voice. The block where they were was flat and there were no natural barriers that could be used. They could only rely on some simple obstacles to delay the enemy's attack.

"Use those scrapped cars and those door panels! Hurry! Pile them all in the middle of the road!" Looking at his busy men, he pointed at some waste scattered on the roadside and gave orders to the soldiers loudly.

"Move quickly! We must delay time as much as possible to give the troops in the rear more time to prepare!" said the officer as he helped the soldiers carry the heavy debris.

The Lions Empire troops stationed here blew up a building on the side of the road last night, trying to block the road with the collapsed rubble.

But even so, there was still a small half of the road left passable. In desperation, they had to find some abandoned car wreckage to block the gap, hoping to gain the last glimmer of hope for their defense.

They set up a simple roadblock made of abandoned cars, broken furniture and various debris in the middle of the road, hoping to slightly block the advancing tanks and armored vehicles of the Tang army and buy precious time for themselves.

Wooden cabinets, beds, tables... In short, anything that looked a little sturdy was carried out of the ruins and piled around the burnt-black car frames, forming another garbage dump.

These soldiers didn't even have sandbags, and had no way to reinforce the gaps in the ruins. They could only pile the obstacles as thickly as possible to make them bulletproof... Of course, facing the Tang army's 125mm caliber tank guns, no matter how thick they piled the obstacles, they actually didn't feel safe.

At this moment, two machine gun crews carrying machine guns and ammunition belts passed by the officer. The officer pointed to the window of a two-story building in the distance and shouted an order: "Machine guns! Set up the machine guns high up! If you see Tang's infantry, fire hard!"

"Yes!" Several soldiers carrying machine guns walked breathlessly towards the building behind them, and climbed up to the second floor with difficulty along the stairs that might collapse at any time. They set up the machine guns at the windows, aimed at the other end of the street, and waited for the enemy to appear.

"Battle launcher! You two, take the rocket launchers and ambush in the ruins!" The officer saw two anti-tank soldiers carrying rocket launchers, pointed at the half-collapsed building in the distance, and ordered loudly: "There are more! There are a few of you! Yes! Just a few of you! Follow the anti-tank soldiers! Cover their movements!" "When the Tang army's tanks get close, hit them hard! Remember! Hit the tracks! Only hit the tracks! Do you understand?" The officer retracted his gaze, looked at the nervous anti-tank soldiers, and emphasized the target of the attack again.

"Got it." The two anti-tank soldiers had no experience either. They just knew that the weapons in their hands were very valuable and they were reluctant to use them. They heard that the Tang army's tanks were very powerful, and they didn't know how they could accurately destroy those huge monsters.

But they still took the riflemen who were responsible for covering them, carried heavy rocket launchers, crouched, and quickly sneaked into a ruin on the side, waiting for the opportunity to deal a fatal blow to the enemy.

Compared to his panicked subordinates, this officer still has some combat experience, so at this critical moment, everything here has to obey his arrangements. Everyone hopes to rely on this seemingly reliable officer to overcome the current crisis.

Soon, the sound of propellers could be heard in the sky, and everyone subconsciously shrank their necks, because they had seen the dominance of the Tang Army's armed helicopters. That thing could hover at low altitudes, and bullets were basically ineffective against it, but the machine guns under the helicopters could easily destroy any fools who dared to come on the road.

For the soldiers of the Lions Empire, the Tang Army's armed helicopters were basically equivalent to the god of death. As long as they were not careful, the Lions soldiers on the ground might be taken away by a rocket...

As the anti-aircraft guns in the hands of Lions' ground forces were destroyed one after another and the means of countering helicopters became fewer and fewer, the Tang Army's helicopters became more and more arrogant: Now, the Tang Army's helicopters can go wherever they want and drop soldiers wherever they want.

That's right. Many of the Tang army's armed helicopters are Mi-24s. This type of armed helicopter has the ability to transport troops. It can carry an infantry squad of seven or eight people, land in a less safe place, and then cover the infantry squad to continue fighting for a period of time.

The Tang army relied on this tactic to completely disrupt the combat deployment of the Lions Empire troops. Paul did not expect that the Tang army would dare to disrupt the battle in a chaotic way, and tore through the defense line of the Lions defenders in a very chaotic way in the street fighting. With the cooperation of these special forces and infantry squads, the main force of the Tang army can cut into the city at a faster speed and divide and surround the Lions Empire troops.

This set of tactics was also summed up by the Tang army on the spot. They found that their organizational discipline, battlefield communication ability, and logistical supply ability... were all superior to those of the Lions Empire troops. Using chaos to fight chaos, the Lions Empire troops, which lacked supplies and command and dispatch capabilities, would soon fall into chaos and quickly collapse and surrender.

Relying on such tactics, the Tang army, which had already broken into the city and established an offensive bridgehead, quickly divided and surrounded the Lions troops who had no fighting spirit into several small groups. It was only a matter of time to annihilate these lingering troops.

"Hide quickly! Idiots! Are you going to die?" Seeing that there were still a few recruits standing there stupidly, the leading officer of the Lions Empire quickly waved at them: "Hide! Get down! Damn it!"

After hearing the sound of the engine, he ran to the side and hid in the ruins of a half-collapsed building. His movements were so smooth and skillful that it made people feel distressed.

When several soldiers heard their superior's shout, they immediately realized their dangerous situation: those veterans had already found a place to hide, and only they were still standing there in the open, like a few stupid rabbits being stared at by an eagle.

So, the next second, these soldiers dropped the ammunition boxes, shovels and other things in their hands and ran quickly towards the ruins where the officer was hiding.

Unfortunately, just as they started, a dazzling beam of light swept past them from the side, blocking their way. Hundreds and thousands of such beams followed, shredding their bodies.

The continuous sound of the helicopter's machine gun echoed in the air, and the bullets hitting the ruins stirred up a cloud of white smoke, which instantly engulfed the Ryans soldiers who were just running. Before their figures were shrouded in the smoke, everyone saw their broken limbs and arms being torn into pieces by tracer bullets.

After roughly determining the direction of the helicopter, the Lions Empire officer hiding in the corner subconsciously shrank back: he didn't want to be discovered by that thing. Once discovered, the other party would not hesitate to launch two rockets at the ruins where he was.

It seems okay now that it is daytime, but if it is night, they have to be extra careful even if they are hiding in a building, because the helicopters dispatched by the Tang army at night are equipped with infrared night vision equipment, which can easily find the target and open fire in the dark.

So at night, they are all required to rest away from windows. If conditions permit, try to sleep in the corridor and avoid rooms with windows, which is relatively safer.

As the sound of the engine faded away, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Like mice that had escaped the cat, they poked their heads out of their dark hiding places and carefully checked the sky as far as they could see.

Only after confirming that the plane that could hover in the sky had left did the soldiers of the Lions Empire come out one after another and continue to pile up those seemingly useless rubble obstacles.

"Hurry up and work! Create as many obstacles as possible! Don't be lazy! Pay attention to the sky! Keep your ears up!" Officer Ryans walked out of the bunker and continued to loudly order his men to move: "Hurry up! You! Yes! You guys! Come here! Get those bodies away! They look disgusting."
