Courtyard House: A System Connecting Two Worlds, Resources for the Nation

"boom--!"

"boom--!"

"boom--!"

Explosions echoed continuously across Yuanbao Island.

The Russian patrolmen never expected that the Chinese border troops, who had always been suppressed by them, would suddenly have such fierce firepower.

After several people were taken down, the armored vehicle, which had been parked at the rear, rolled onto the battlefield where the battle was about to begin.

The Russians already had a larger force, and now with the added cover of armored vehicles, they gained a significant advantage and began to advance.

"Squad leader, that thing is too hard; our grenades can't break it!"

Several young soldiers were so anxious they were stamping their feet, but there was nothing they could do.

These wooden-handled grenades have limited power; they're okay against enemies, but against armored vehicles, they can't even deform the armor.

After angrily throwing the grenade in his hand, the border guard sergeant turned to look at his soldiers.

"Everyone, retreat!"

If it had been a few days earlier, and those Russians had dared to be so arrogant and come to the island, their entire class would have fought to the death rather than back down an inch.

But just yesterday, orders came down from above that everyone's priority was to save their lives.

After all, with so many strategic aid materials, there's no need to sacrifice lives anymore!

Moreover, both sides' troops have already stationed themselves here, and reinforcements will arrive very quickly. There is no need for a squad of men to risk their lives to delay the inevitable.

"Huh? Retreat?"

Although they didn't understand the orders given by their squad leader, everyone still cautiously retreated slowly using the cover.

They also threw all the grenades that were clipped to their waists.

If they can't blow through the armored vehicle, can't they at least blow up the people hiding behind it?

If even a few are blown up, it's considered a profit.

Suddenly, another cry of pain came from beside the squad leader.

A young soldier who wanted to throw a grenade was hit by machine gun fire because too much of his body was exposed under cover, and his entire right arm was lost.

The armored vehicle was like an iron turtle, with its machine gun firing incessantly.

He was just one of the more unfortunate ones. The other soldiers also had some injuries, and even those who weren't hit by machine gun fire still had cuts on their faces and bodies from the shattered bunkers and flying shards.

"That's fucking bullying!"

The squad leader cursed angrily, but there was nothing he could do about the armored vehicle.

If it weren't for the rugged terrain on the island, which forced the armored vehicles to move slowly, they would have been wiped out by the enemy long ago.

"Comrades, reinforcements have arrived! Don't worry!"

A squad of Dragon Kingdom warriors rushed over from behind them. The wounded were carried away on stretchers, while the rest began assembling weapons.

"What is this?"

The squad leader stared blankly as the newcomer assembled the missile and replied, "Anti-tank missiles can not only shoot down tanks, but also airplanes."

"Holy crap! I got it! The battalion was talking about it before, saying we shot down two Russian planes, and this is it! It's so inspiring!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than another roar came from the other side, and the armored vehicle had arrived.

Through the firing sight, the Russian armored vehicle swaggered forward, its machine guns spitting fire as they swept across the area, even though they hadn't spotted them yet.

"Locked!"

"put!"

Whoosh—a streak of fire flew out, leaving a straight line in the sky above the snow.

boom!

The armored vehicle was overturned, its turret flew far away, and the vehicle body burst into flames.

"Hit!"

The border guards immediately cheered.

The Russian soldiers following behind the armored vehicle were also stunned.

What is that?

One shot destroyed the armored vehicle?

We didn't hear any shelling!

Before they could react, the second and third anti-tank missiles had already arrived.

After a series of explosions, the remaining armored vehicles and trucks were all destroyed on the spot.

Even many of the Russian soldiers hiding around them were blown up.

Seeing that the armored vehicles were all destroyed, the remaining Russian soldiers panicked and turned to run away.

The border guards here have been suppressed and beaten by them for so long, how could they possibly let them go?

They chased after the Russians, firing their guns wildly.

This was only the first wave of fighting, yet the Russians abandoned more than 50 corpses and 3 armored vehicles, while the rest scrambled back to the other side of the river.

The news reached the command center, immediately sparking jubilation.

"Well done! We need to show these bastards that we're not easy to bully!"

The commander slammed his fist on the table: "It seems they can't sit still any longer. Have Xiao Leng lead his men to the island and set up defensive positions."

"yes!"

When Battalion Commander Leng led a company to Yuanbao Island, they discovered that the traces of the battle were still there.

The snow was riddled with craters, and the wreckage of the armored vehicle had been towed back by the Chinese troops, but the air still reeked of gunpowder.

Sure enough, not long after they moved into the fortifications, the Russians made unusual moves.

As soon as it got dark, the Russian camp was brightly lit, with large numbers of people running around, and tanks and armored vehicles were brought out.

"They're coming. Prepare for bombing. Send someone to report to headquarters so the soldiers can get ready. We're going to have a tough battle today."

Battalion Commander Leng put down his binoculars, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

The next second, the Russians started bombarding the area with artillery fire.

Countless shells were bombarded towards Yuanbao Island. Battalion Commander Leng and the others hid in the fortifications. Although their ears were ringing from the blasts, they did not suffer any real damage.

Knowing that war was about to break out here, the Dragon Kingdom had already rebuilt its defenses with the latest concrete structures.

With the Russians' current firepower, unless they use their most powerful missiles, they really can't destroy them.

After wave after wave of bombing, the Russian tanks and armored vehicles finally arrived.

Battalion Commander Leng looked at the infrared monitor in front of him, which displayed the locations of all the troops the Russians had sent this time, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

The company he brought to the island was not part of the original border defense force; it was specially transferred from Beiping.

"Comrades, you all underwent intensive training in Beiping and are armed with the most advanced weapons in China. For the sake of this land, we must ensure that the Russians never return!"

"Yes, sir!" "Mission accomplished!"

Perhaps comrades in other theaters are not very clear about how the Russians feel, but Battalion Commander Leng knows all too well the pressure they bring.

In this era, the Russians are a force that can directly challenge the United States.

This powerful nation borders the northern part of the Dragon Kingdom directly.

This pressure is considerable for their border troops.

After all, the enemy's weapons, equipment, and logistical support far exceeded their expectations.

Aside from fighting to the death against the Russians, they couldn't think of any other way to counter them.

It's like there's a burly man standing outside your door that you know you can't beat at a glance, and he keeps banging on your door and glaring at you menacingly.

But your wife and children are inside the room. Can you run away? Can you back out?

However, this pressure has now been completely relieved by the support from Beiping.

Especially after the Chinese side easily shot down two enemy planes and three armored vehicles, their morale reached its peak.

"Ready! Fire!"

As the Russian troops drew closer, Battalion Commander Leng seized the opportunity and issued the order.

Two anti-tank rockets blew up the enemy's foremost armored vehicle, and then gunfire erupted like popping beans.

The Russians really didn't expect that after the bombardment, China would actually be affected to some extent.

Their follow-up tanks did not hesitate at all and began firing wildly forward.

The machine guns on both armored vehicles were firing wildly, giving the Chinese side no chance to fire again.

With suppressive fire, the Russian troops successfully landed on the island and began to advance steadily.

One hundred meters, eighty meters, fifty meters...

At this distance, machine guns, rifles, submachine guns, and grenades should all be fired at the Russians' heads!

Not to mention Battalion Commander Leng, even the commander-in-chief of the border defense command was somewhat incredulous when he saw the combat supplies prepared for this border conflict.

When have they ever fought such a rich war?

The wooden-handled grenades were thrown forward like they were free, and after they were all gone, they could go back to the fortifications to get more.

If Zhou Feng were present at the scene, he would probably only have five words in his mind: man-made bombing zone.

When the enemy launched another artillery barrage, Battalion Commander Leng and his men retreated back into their defensive positions.

This explosion didn't distinguish between friend and foe, and the enemy couldn't possibly take this opportunity to advance very far.

However, after this artillery barrage, Battalion Commander Leng discovered that the enemy's formation was quite extraordinary, with more than a dozen tanks and armored vehicles driving directly across the river.

This was beyond their ability to stop, so Battalion Commander Leng hurriedly shouted to the communications soldier, asking for fire support from the rear!

The fire support from the Chinese side wasn't like the artillery barrage the Russians had just used; instead, several modified aircraft quietly took off from the rear positions.

The pilots who can come here are all veterans with more than ten years of experience. Before coming from Beiping, they had simulated bombing operations hundreds of times.

But this was the first time he had actually gone to the battlefield to drop bombs.

Anyway, when they were learning, the operation manual clearly stated that this thing didn't need them to aim; it would find the target on its own. They just needed to fly to the destination according to the flight path and press the button.

This method of bombing was unheard of, but they still followed the instructions in the manual.

As the plane flew in, the dozen or so Russian tanks below lined up in a row, firing their cannons as they advanced.

Behind the tanks, the armored vehicles were also firing wildly, their firepower terrifyingly intense.

Battalion Commander Leng and his men could only cower in their defensive fortifications. Even if anti-tank missiles were sent from the rear again, they dared not peek out to fire.

When will the support arrive?

Seeing that the machine guns set up in the fortifications were not causing any damage to the enemy, Battalion Commander Leng became a little anxious.

Just then, a loud roar came from the sky.

Three planes emerged from the clouds, flying at a low altitude and very steadily.

On the Russian side, the anti-aircraft machine guns on the position began firing, but they were too far away to reach the targets.

"Ready to launch!"

The pilot stared at a small screen on the instrument panel, which displayed the newly installed guidance system.

Several bright dots appeared on the screen; those were the heat signatures of the Russian tanks.

"Deploy!"

The bomb detached from its rack and plummeted downwards with a whoosh.

Unlike ordinary bombs, these bombs suddenly spewed fire from their tails after falling a certain distance.

The turbine engine started instantly, and the bomb seemed to have eyes, adjusting its direction in mid-air and heading straight for the Russian tanks and armored vehicles.

"What...what is that?"

Some of the Russian soldiers were still looking up at the bombs falling from the sky with flashes of fire.

Before they could react, explosions began to erupt one after another below.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Clusters of fire exploded continuously on the ice surface, and most of the dozen or so tanks were destroyed on the spot, leaving only a few, but their tracks were broken, and they were paralyzed and unable to move.

"Holy crap! That actually hit! That thing is powerful!"

The pilot in the air glanced back and couldn't help but swear over the communication channel.

Just by pressing this one button, so many of the Russians' tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed. Who can understand the thrill of that?

The commander-in-chief in the command center breathed a sigh of relief, a sentence he had heard from his superior during their conversation flashing through his mind.

"Future wars will be fought based on technology, just as I thought!"

If such powerful high-altitude bombing and bombing were to occur a dozen or twenty times, even an army of tens of thousands would likely find it difficult to withstand.

"What is that? A new weapon from the Dragon Kingdom? Have you ever seen it before?"

The Russian commander, still in the camp, jumped up, pointing at the Chinese plane that was gradually flying away, his hands trembling.

This is completely illogical. What kind of bomber could destroy more than a dozen tanks in a single bombing run?

Was he throwing a TTM mushroom bomb?

In terms of air force, Russia may not be as good as the United States, but it is far ahead of other countries, if not overwhelming them.

The problem is, now the Dragon Kingdom has actually come up with such a powerful weapon!

What?

You said this plane was copied from our country's YE-28 by China? I saw it when I went to China before?

I'll give you @￥%……&!

I'll give you ten YE-28s right now, and you'll see the scale and power of that kind of bombing I can unleash!

Inside the fortifications, Battalion Commander Leng and his men stared at the still-burning tank wreckage for a long time before they finally reacted: "Damn, these things are terrifying!"

They said it was scary, but their smiles didn't diminish at all.

The soldiers roared and ran out of the defensive fortifications.

The Russians really beat them pretty badly just now, so it's time for them to retaliate.

If we don't count heavy weapons like tanks and artillery, China's army is the best in the world. No matter if it's Russia or the United States, they can't do anything about it!

The Russians' second offensive ended in an even more devastating defeat than their first.
