BOOM!
The dust from the impact rose more than ten meters into the air and covered the entire battlefield like a pine forest rising from the ground.
The whistling tungsten rods drew a milky white trajectory in the air. In an instant, they poured down like a rainstorm on the line of defense built by Arrow. They crushed the concrete bunkers into pieces, blasted the cement pavement into deep pits, and filled the crisscrossing trenches …
Accompanied by the roar of Ula, the horn of counterattack was blown into the air. The civilian armed soldiers waiting in the second echelon rushed out of the woods and bunkers, followed the T72 main battle tank that broke out of the battle line, and launched an assault on the line of defense.
The steel armor crushed the rugged bushes, the roar of the tracks echoed on the ground, and the smoke from the artillery dyed the clouds gray. With the meteors falling from the sky, the civilian armed infantry stepped into the first line of defense of the Red Army outside the city.
Behind them was the wreckage of the reinforced concrete bunker.
On the concrete bunker that was several meters thick, there was a shocking fracture. The cement shattered like glass, and the steel skeleton that served as the support structure was broken into several sections. As for the soldiers and mercenaries of Arrow hiding in the bunker, not even a complete body could be found.
There was no large-scale battle, only sporadic exchanges of fire.
The torn defense line was like a collapsed dam, and after the dam burst, it flooded for thousands of miles.
The attack of space-based weapons was not only reflected in the damage to hard targets, but also in the psychological pressure of the enemy. A real warrior may not be afraid of the oncoming bullets, but in the face of a disaster that could befall them at any time, everyone felt the same vulnerability.
The line of defense between Arrow and Arrow was compressed to the city at the beginning of the battle.
Celestial Trade's two orbital airborne brigades served as the vanguard. Soldiers armed to the teeth rode in assault vehicles. After they entered the city, they released the Hummingbird drones behind the assault vehicles and engaged in close combat with Arrow's elite troops.
The soldiers on both sides were in a frenzy, and the smoke of the melee filled every corner of the streets and alleys. Accompanied by the artillery fire of the tanks, the coalition forces formed by civilian armed forces and Celestial Trade pierced through the city from three directions.
In a building, several Arrow mercenaries were hiding.
"Don't panic! They didn't dare to use it in the city! All of you better watch your positions. " An Arrow veteran who had participated in the Madagascar Civil War stared out the window. His expression was also filled with fear, but he did not bring this fear to his comrades behind him.
"God …"
With a sobbing tone, a soldier hugged his rifle and drew a cross on his chest. There were also some people who crouched nervously under the windowsill. They knew that the enemy was right in front of them, but their hands and feet kept spasming.
"Their people are attacking! Idiots, prepare for battle, get up! On the count of three, we'll — "
Before he could finish speaking, the building collapsed into ruins like tofu, burying him and his comrades behind him. With the last shred of his consciousness, he heard the cries of the charge gradually fading away.
Just now, Celestial Trade fired a second round of tungsten rods at the Ukrainian army. Through terminal guidance, it accurately destroyed several firepower points organized by Arrow and cleared the way for the advancing troops.
The battle on the ground was still intense, but the outcome of the battle in the air had already been decided.
The MiG-29's machine gun roared in the air, but in the face of the high-speed Aurora-20s, it could only passively take a beating. Although there were only four Aurora-20s deployed at the frontline base, these four Aurora-20s were more than enough to defeat the air defense formation composed of third-generation fighters.
Unless NATO took the risk of angering the Russians to establish a no-fly zone in Ukraine and sent F35s and F22s to fight the Aurora, Ukraine would lose its air supremacy without a doubt.
Jiang Chen knew very well that this war would take a long time, but he didn't plan to drag it out. The longer the war dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for Celestial Trade with its long supply line. If Arrow could obtain a steady stream of soldiers from refugees, then no matter how long the war dragged on, it would be meaningless.
When the two airborne brigades completed their deployment, the frontline base was established, and the first batch of war materials was transported to Donetsk on the back of the Earth by air and rail. The command center of Celestial Trade came up with the counterattack plan codenamed "Lightning".
As for the tungsten rods, it was an option outside of the plan. Because of the unexpected suppressive ability of this weapon when rescuing Natasha, it was listed as one of Celestial Trade's means of attack from outer space.
…
Last night, Ayesha, who was already "full", left some time for the two who were about to separate.
Natasha had to go back to Moscow first and couldn't return to Xin with the two. And because of the nature of her work, she had to spend a period of observation in Moscow after her dismissal. However, considering the scope of her espionage activities and the cooperation between Russia and Celestial Trade on the Ukrainian issue, this observation period wouldn't be too long.
It would be a month at the minimum and half a year at the maximum. She couldn't leave Moscow during this time, so she naturally couldn't see Jiang Chen.
It was precisely because of this that Natasha was particularly obsessed with Jiang Chen last night. She was like a wild cat that had gone mad from hunger, swaying her golden hair and craving for the fragrance of sweet milk. That unrelenting attitude of tossing and turning made it seem as if he was going to overdraft the next half a year's worth of rations …
Speaking of this, it was the first time Jiang Chen truly tasted a "foreign woman", especially in the sense of "big".
The first time with Natasha, he was in a half-drunk state and didn't leave any impression. This time, as if to make up for the regret last time, Natasha used her pair of lethal weapons that surpassed 36D to leave a very "deep" impression on Jiang Chen.
At Voronezh Airport, Natasha kissed Jiang Chen and looked deeply into his eyes.
"The plane should take off." Ayesha looked at her watch and gently reminded him.
"Goodbye."
Without too many words, after kissing Natasha, Jiang Chen said goodbye to her and walked in the direction of the Gulfstream G650.
The words of farewell and the instructions for her body had already been said in the waiting room. Saying it again now would seem pretentious.
When the plane slowly drove on the runway, Jiang Chen looked out the window with some nostalgia. When he saw that the beautiful figure was also looking at him, a knowing smile appeared on his face.
After the plane took off, Jiang Chen retracted his gaze from the window and leaned back in the comfortable chair. At this time, Ayesha gently pushed a holographic screen in front of Jiang Chen and reported to him the latest situation on the front line.
"Ten minutes ago, good news came from the front line. Operation Lightning has achieved initial success. Our First and Second Orbital Airborne Brigade successfully seized control of the Red Army Village and drove the Arrow mercenaries out of this area."
"Very good." Jiang Chen glanced at the battle report on the holographic screen and nodded with satisfaction. "The next step is to drive them back to the lower reaches of the Dnieper River. When I go back, Ivan should have developed the combat plan."
"And then the war is over?" Ayesha tilted her head.
"How is that possible." Jiang Chen shook his head with a smile. "As long as NATO and Russia are opposed, the war there will not truly end."
