Chapter 2149: The Airship Anne
Before midnight.
Two more armored units arrived in succession.
One of them was severely damaged.
Bullet holes can be seen on the armored vehicles.
"Where is your battalion commander?" The other three battalion commanders arrived in front of this armored battalion.
The deputy battalion commander of the third battalion came out, saluted the three battalion commanders, and then said sadly, "We were intercepted by an enemy force on the way."
We fought the enemy on the spot.
During the battle, our battalion commander's armored vehicle was hit by three enemy rockets..."
The deputy battalion commander of the third battalion choked up and could no longer speak.
The other three battalion commanders already knew what was going on.
There was a few seconds of silence.
The battalion commander spoke first: "There's still half an hour until midnight."
It seems the follow-up troops won't make it in time.
We'll leave a team of staff officers behind to relay the battle plan; we won't wait any longer.
We launched our attack as soon as it struck twelve.
I currently hold the highest military rank here.
Then I'll take charge.
"You all have no objections, right?" The battalion commander looked at the crowd.
Although they don't usually back down from each other in private.
But at this moment, no one has any objections.
"Just tell me how you plan to fight," said the battalion commander of the second battalion.
"Our heavy artillery positions and rocket artillery vehicle positions have been deployed, and their range can cover the enemy's outer city walls."
They will lead the first wave of attacks.
First, launch several rounds of firepower attacks on the enemy's outer city walls.
Then our tanks, armored vehicles, and troop carriers advanced rapidly.
Our four battalions broke through four gaps.
If the previous heavy artillery and rocket artillery failed to create an opening, then tanks would blast it open.
Then the troops entered the city to engage in street fighting.
We'll take it in little by little!
"Remember to coordinate infantry and tanks, and be careful of enemy landmines and rocket launchers!" the battalion commander emphasized.
"Our target is the heart of their capital city, the royal palace!"
Destroying the royal palace would mean the success of our operation.
At exactly twelve o'clock, the shelling began for ten minutes.
We then launched our attack under artillery cover!
Did you all understand?
"Understood!" the battalion commanders and deputy battalion commanders replied.
The battalion commander then looked at the staff officers next to him who were taking notes.
"You stay here."
Once other armored units arrive, we will inform them of our operational plan.
They can enter the city through the route of our attack.
"yes!"
"Then all departments should go back and prepare."
May you all enjoy great success in your military endeavors!
"Go back, I'll treat you to drinks!" The battalion commander stood up straight and saluted everyone.
Everyone returned the gifts.
Although they said it that way, everyone knew the truth in their hearts.
Of the people standing here now, how many will make it back alive?
Five minutes before midnight.
A booming sound came from the sky.
Several large objects appeared high in the sky.
"What are those?" someone asked in surprise, pointing to several large black shadows in the air.
"That's an airship!"
Someone exclaimed.
Airships were a weapon that had appeared before. Although they were once very popular, they quickly disappeared from the battlefield due to their significant flaws.
But who would have thought that we can still see airships now?
A JF-17 Thunder logo can also be seen on the airship.
...
A long time ago
"Is this airship really okay?" Zhao Chen looked at the huge thing that Annie had tinkered with at the military factory with some doubt.
"Do you think my airships are just pieces of scrap metal?"
The Anne airship.
That's a product ahead of its time!
I used a lot of technology that was ahead of its time in this project.
Gases, armor, fabrics, equipment, and so on.
They are all extremely advanced.
Although its practicality is still not very high.
However, dealing with the natives of that continent was no problem at all.
This fabric armor is non-flammable, and even if it is hit, the special gas inside will not explode.
And because of its large size, it can continue to fly even if it is partially damaged.
Moreover, without high-altitude missiles, their short anti-aircraft guns simply couldn't hit my Annie airship.
It can carry a large amount of explosives.
That's equivalent to the bomb load of thirty heavy bombers!
Imagine this: this guy flies over the enemy and drops them down.
Isn't that exciting!
"Enemy, aren't you moved?" Annie's eyes lit up.
Zhao Chen rubbed his chin.
"Moreover, after it is retired, it can be used as a flying yacht and travel around the world."
It can be converted to nuclear power in the future.
"Those decades won't be able to land." Annie blinked.
"A maximum of three ships will be built."
"We don't have that many resources." Zhao Chen held up three fingers.
Anne's application form stated that there were thirty ships.
Are you kidding me?
Thirty ships? Where did they get so many resources and industrial capacity?
“Ten ships!” Annie looked at Zhao Chen expectantly.
"Two ships," Zhao Chen said bluntly.
"Fine, fine, three ships it is." Annie pouted and looked at Zhao Chen defiantly.
...
This is the origin of these three airships.
They fly at high altitudes, but at very slow speeds.
Several fighter jets escorted them along the way, and they finally arrived over the royal city of Gebuchi at noon today.
"Prepare to begin dropping the explosives." The commander of the first submarine, Anne, glanced at the city below, calculated the various data, and then gave the order to drop the explosives.
Several hatches were open below the airship.
Then I saw clumps of stuff being thrown down.
Then, a spectacular explosion of flames occurred in the royal city of Gebuchi.
Huge fireballs.
The explosion was deafening.
