Late at night, Pannu military camp.
Soldier A: "Don't sleep, the higher-ups said to tighten the defense, we have to be careful."
Soldier B rubbed his eyes and adjusted his hat. "Mhmm. Get up now … "
The fierce battle last night lasted until midnight. Until now, they didn't even get a wink of sleep.
Soldier A lit a cigarette as he glanced at the small TV on the corner of the table. "The TV is playing President Edward's speech …"
Soldier B sighed. "War … this damned war. Once the curfew ends, what are you going to do? "
Soldier A: "Take my kids to Australia for a vacation. Little Jimmy said he wanted to go a long time ago, he said he wanted to see the Great Barrier Reef. Mhmm … what about you? "
In the military, President Edward's prestige was high. A portion of the private remittances he received were distributed to the soldiers as subsidies. Because of this, although his regime was unpopular among the people, it was supported by the military.
Soldier B: "I think I should go take care of my mother. She said in the letter that she wants me to come back soon."
Soldier A: "I really hope this damned war ends soon …"
Soldier B: "Shhh … I think I heard something …"
The sound was very soft, like the buzzing of cicada wings.
The hummingbird drone with a 2mm caliber machine gun gently stopped at the window of the duty room. The fingernail-sized wide angle camera reflected two alert but unconscious faces.
Tut, tut —
A few short buzzing sounds.
Followed by the sound of glass shattering and a few drops of blood, the Grim Reaper quietly arrived.
…
The military was the cornerstone of a stable regime.
To overthrow a regime, they only needed to destroy its military.
The code name of the operation was "Shattered Sword". They vowed to use iron and fire to destroy the sword of the incompetent ruler.
Three signal flares pierced through the cold night sky and ignited the silence …
Tatatat!
Bullets shuttled through the military camp, leaving a trail of orange light that lit up the camp.
Future Security's mercenaries launched an attack without any warning.
Pannu's military was still immersed in the victory against the insurgents yesterday. Although they maintained a state of alertness, they were still caught off guard.
"The base is under attack, I repeat, the base is under attack!" The general roared into the walkie-talkie. He stuck to the thick concrete pillar and ordered the soldiers patrolling in the city to return to the defense.
An armored vehicle rushed out of the garage, and the machine gun on top spat out raging flames, venting its firepower at the darkness outside the camp.
"Damn it! Who were these people? They are definitely not the insurgents! " A soldier attached to the back of the armored vehicle nervously buckled the nylon rope of his helmet and fired his rifle into the darkness that he couldn't see clearly at all.
Swish, swish —
A few bullets flew past his head, scaring him into retracting his head.
"It's a drone! Damn it … we have to shoot those things down! "A government soldier held a light machine gun and fired at the black shadows floating in the air.
"Damn it, it's too small, I can't hit it!"
"Idiot, use fire!"
The intense firepower did affect the Hummingbird drones' offensive and forced the approaching drone attack group to temporarily retreat. But just when they thought they had the upper hand, Future Security's ground forces moved.
"Three o 'clock."
"Roger that."
Thad's tactical helmet already marked the coordinates of the enemy unit.
The muzzle spat out flames, and the person in his field of vision fell. From aiming to firing to confirming the kill, it only took a total of two seconds.
The eight-person team included almost all the soldiers. The observer marked, the team shooters killed, the riflemen engaged in direct fire, the support maintained suppressive fire, and the medics were temporarily unavailable … Even if they were unfortunately hit by stray bullets, the loaded bullets would not be able to penetrate the polyethylene armor embedded on the kinetic skeleton.
Under the penetrating power of the Reaper Rifle, the concrete bunker was as useless as tofu. Even the steel door of an armored vehicle would have a series of dents after a volley of bullets was fired.
The only thing the government forces could do to the mercenaries was the heavy machine gun on the armored vehicle. But in the face of the armored vehicle, the mercenaries were obviously calmer than the rioters.
A few "Python" rockets flew out and instantly took away three armored vehicles.
Another armored vehicle saw the situation wasn't looking good. While it threw out a smoke grenade, it quickly reversed and retreated. But a rocket, as if it had eyes, flew over and penetrated its armor without any hesitation.
Flames exploded in the smoke, the shattered armor pieces flew and scraped a few government soldiers hiding nearby.
Looking at the four flames, the general's eyes were about to pop out as he tightly gripped the radio in his hand and forgot how to speak.
A soldier hiding behind cover roared as he returned fire with the heavy machine gun.
"Dammit, their firepower is too strong."
At this moment, a deafening explosion drowned out the sound of gunfire.
There was a burst of fire in the rebel army's position.
Seeing this, the general's face showed a hint of ecstasy as he roared at his own base that was on the verge of collapse.
"It's the tank! Our tank! Everyone, hold on for me! Damn it! Victory will belong to us! "
Tanks, and helicopters. To show off the insignificant military power of Pannu Islands, President Edward deployed all the heavy equipment to patrol the streets.
In front of the power of armor, any infantry was minuscule!
They only needed one round of assault …
He stared in the direction of the reinforcements with a ferocious expression.
Contrary to the general's excitement, the mercenaries of Future Security were calm in front of the Pannu army's tanks.
The HE grenade exploded in the middle of the camp, injuring a few mercenaries, but that was all.
The medics quickly dragged away the injured soldiers.
At the same time, a mercenary with a "Python" rocket launcher crouched in the shadows. He opened his laser sight and skillfully locked onto the "Chief" main battle tank.
Before the tank could finish reloading its second shell, he pulled the trigger.
Smoke spread out, dragging an orange flame behind it. The arm-thick anti-armor rocket flew out and headed for the front of the tank.
In front of the thick suspension armor, the flame was as weak as a matchstick.
But a scene that made all the government soldiers widen their eyes in shock happened.
The armor of the "Chief" main battle tank, the invincible god of war in their hearts, was like a piece of paper as the seemingly insignificant rocket blasted a hole in it.
The flame soared into the sky and illuminated the faces of despair.
The little bird helicopter with the revolving machine gun flew over, but it quickly landed in a grand manner. Along with it, the remaining hope of the government army also fell.
Ten hummingbird drones swarmed forward and charged at the fragile rotor of the helicopter. The attack was simple and violent, but extremely effective.
Their hope was completely extinguished. The government army with their morale at rock bottom finally raised the white flag as they abandoned their weapons and walked out of cover.
Thus, President Edward's rule ended.
