It was noon, the scorching sun hung high, and the sky was a clear blue, without a cloud in sight. The vast, primitive forest swayed in the wind, the treetops undulating like green waves. Strangely, ten helicopters in attack formation hovered in the air, the murderous aura perating the entire forest, sending chills down one's spine.
Suddenly, a missile was launched from beneath the leading helicopter and shot towards the entrance of the distant canyon, tearing through the air with a terrifying screech. It was as if a demon was sneering, and it slamd hard into the space at the entrance, erupting with a deafening boom. Soil splattered, red glow exploded, and smoke spread everywhere.
The terrifying missile attack blasted a huge crater into the ground. The people hiding in the trenches nearby felt as though the very earth was battling, dirt showering down on their heads and bodies. They opened their mouths wide and yelled to mitigate the impact of the shockwave on their ears, feeling tense as their whole bodies strained, not daring to move.
Luo Zheng had long anticipated Sam Country's thod of attack—first an air strike, then ground assault, followed by troops, which had beco a basic tactical model. Their trenches were deep enough that hiding inside was not much of a problem; the sonic boom was deafeningly painful though. He saw everyone around covering their ears tightly and sighed helplessly; personal soldiering skills were useless in the face of absolute strength.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" Three more missiles ca screaming over; everyone could feel the missiles approaching without even looking up. The terrifying power burst forth was shocking as they clung tightly to their ears and opened their mouths, shrinking into the bunkers within the reverse slope of the trenches.
"Boom, boom, boom!" Three massive explosions echoed out, and everyone clearly felt the ground shaking much more violently. More dust and dirt ca tumbling down, falling upon the people below in the tunnel, but no one cared as they blocked their ears desperately, yelling out to vent their anxiety.
A missile landed on the tunnel, collapsing more than five ters of the trench, burying the people in Hidden Soldier Cave below. Everyone was dodging missiles, unable to rescue imdiately. Witnessing this, Luo Zheng was shocked, and he rushed up like mad, swinging an engineer shovel to dig and rescue them quickly.
The others reacted and hurried to help, ignoring the air defense. Without air, one can't last more than a few minutes. Fortunately, the fallen dirt wasn't too much, and it was very loose. Everyone dug hard, using their hands and feet. Luo Zheng handed the engineer shovel to soone beside him, retreated, jumped on a platform in the middle of the trench, and looked out, finding the enemy helicopter launching another missile.
The trench was three ters deep, and in the middle, so platforms were dug for standing. With these platforms, people could stand and counterattack outside. When air defense was needed, one could jump down from the platform. The air defense effect naturally differed between a three-ter-deep trench and a one-ter-deep trench. If ti allowed, Captain Li would wish to dig five ters deep.
The incoming missile attack again landed around the trenches, collapsing a large area. Fortunately, everyone had gotten smarter and left when they felt the missiles were headed their way, avoiding being buried alive. But more projectiles began to attack, and everyone was too busy finding cover to care about clearing dirt.
Luo Zheng coldly watched the missiles flaunting in the void, eyes almost bursting. He wished he could transform into a missile and fly over to blow up the enemy helicopters. Clenching his fists tightly, body tense, teeth clamped, he shouted through the earpiece, "Brothers in the trench, RPG attack."
The explosions were too intense; shouting loudly was necessary to be heard. Luo Zheng sowhat understood the enemy's combat strategy; it was to directly bomb the trench with missiles, then follow up with ground troops. Very simple, yet very effective. The only way was to drive the helicopters away with RPGs, push them as far as possible, or create troubles, weakening the accuracy of helicopter attacks to protect the trench.
The order was transmitted via earpiece. All those responsible for RPGs were Captain Li's people, and upon hearing the command, they jumped onto the platforms, hoisted the RPGs onto their shoulders, and so ca up to help install the rockets. At this mont, Captain Li's shout suddenly ca through the earpiece, "Range-asure enemy aircraft is beyond a kiloter, exceeding rocket range. Suggest cancel attack, suggest cancel attack." His words were filled with rage.
Luo Zheng's expression turned stern, imdiately raising the sniper scope to range the distance. He found the enemy aircraft indeed located beyond a kiloter. The attack range of the carried rockets was eight hundred ters, far from reaching the target. Luo Zheng felt a little flustered, quickly taking a deep breath to adjust his mindset, his cold eyes staring towards the dense forest ahead. The enemy was beyond three kiloters, even less possible to hit them.
"Must we passively take hits? Any solutions?" Luo Zheng saw the enemy helicopter launching another missile and roared furiously, "Enemy ground forces at three kiloters away, RPG move forward five hundred ters, blow up the flies in the sky. Get one."
While shouting, he looked around and happened to see a person from Hook carrying an RPG. He imdiately jumped out of the trench and approached the person, snatched the RPG, and charged onto the platform again, leaped out of the trench, and roared, rushing forward fiercely, his eyes locked onto the enemy helicopter in the air.
Others saw Luo Zheng rush out, hesitated no longer, almost simultaneously shouting furiously. The murderous intent erupted like an invisible missile, boosting everyone's spirits, morale soared, and those carrying RPGs rushed out of the trench, quickly dispersing, crazily charging ahead.
Lan Xue saw Luo Zheng taking the lead and didn't stop him, a loving expression fleeting on her face. This was indeed her man. Then her face turned cold, roaring, "Sniper rifle, heavy machine gun, aim at enemy helicopters, firepower interfere, cover the charge."
"Yes." All the snipers and heavy gunners roared back, knowing well that shooting at helicopters ant nothing, but shouted their agreent nonetheless. Even if they couldn't blow up helicopters, interference worked as well. Helicopters dodging bullets naturally wouldn't keep firing missiles, giving the RPG-bearing brothers a chance to move forward.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, da-da-da-da!" Sniper bullets and heavy machine gun rounds roared, fiercely striking at the enemy aircraft in the air. The precision of sniper fire combined with the overwhelming firepower of the heavy machine guns ford a deadly net in the void, enveloping the enemy aircraft viciously.
The enemy aircraft saw the charging n didn't dodge initially; they were about to use high-altitude artillery for an attack when they suddenly noticed sniper and machine gun rounds attacking. They imdiately ascended and dodged, the previously fighting formation hovering helicopters scattered rapidly into the void like startled birds.
