Chapter 1244 - 404: North City District Meat Grinder_2Chapter 1244: Chapter 404: North City District Meat Grinder_2
Over ten minutes later, several infantry fighting vehicles entered the city with infantry, with tanks following closely.
Looking at the city that was never prosperous to begin with, which now under the bombardment had completely turned into ruins, the soldiers felt somewhat uncomfortable.
The people above didn’t care about these things because they never considered themselves Cubans, but the lower-ranking soldiers inevitably harbored some emotions.
The infantry advanced in two rows along the streets of ruins, followed by infantry fighting vehicles and tanks.
From the drone’s aerial perspective, the northern half of the city was almost reduced to rubble, with no intact buildings in sight except a few skyscrapers in the city center.
The silent city seemed like a long-dead corpse, and as the soldiers walked down the street, they couldn’t even hear the wind; only the deathly silence remained in the world.
A helicopter pilot said to the co-pilot, "It’s all bombed out like this, there shouldn’t be anyone left, right?"
"The Horizon Mercenaries were all killed by nuclear bombs, who else could it be? Maybe the ones we just bombed were our own people."
They didn’t really believe anyone could still resist after such a bombardment.
Of course, except for the Horizon Mercenaries.
Those guys are fiercely unlike humans.
"Wait, what’s that?"
The co-pilot was about to say he had an uncle from Da Haguai, but from the corner of his eye, he saw something moving on the second floor of a ruin.
Immediately, the radar that was being interfered with suddenly issued an alarm.
"Damn, we’ve been locked on! Release the chaff now!"
Boom!
A missile from the ruins sounded the horn of the attack, and the chaff released by the helicopter failed to interfere with the missile’s hit, instantly turning into a spiraling mass of fire that plummeted towards the ground.
The Dragon Field Soldiers, who had been waiting in the ruins, opened fire madly at the Cuban troops, who had already fallen into the ambush, and several infantry fighting vehicles were disabled immediately, with infantry suffering heavy casualties.
Countless people emerged from the ruins that should have been empty, bullets and artillery mercilessly devouring life, comrades beside them falling one after another, shattered limbs wildly flying, red and white blood freely flowing.
"What? There’s still resistance in the North City District?"
The rear command post, hearing the news, thought they had misheard, but the screams coming back from the other end of the radio were no fake.
Retreat was impossible, as the Europeans wouldn’t allow them to withdraw from the battlefield.
Their existence was for the purpose of a supervisory team!
"Inform Larry to bring his company forward for me! And send more helicopters to keep an eye on them, fire on sight and annihilate them with firepower."
Though they launched an ambush, the Dragon Field Soldiers suffered significant casualties as well. The helicopters, having learned from previous lessons, stayed very high, not giving a chance for ground targeting.
And they didn’t carry many drones, nor did they have large pieces like the Predators. The technicians in the South City District were still desperately trying to repair the Zaku and Predators burnt out by the previous EMPs, unable to provide effective aerial support for a while, with only artillery still in use.
The two sides engaged in bloody street battles in the ruins, and Cuban soldiers were forcibly pushed wave after wave into the ruins to engage with David. For every ruin they cleared, the Cubans had to pay the lives of at least a dozen soldiers.
Under the deadly fire of large-caliber bullets, few bodies remained intact, with corpse fragments unrecognized, scattered in pools of blood, even the dust stirred up by previous shellings was swept clean by blood.
Those who were lucky, only lost half their bodies, were not yet completely dead, and tried to wriggle away from the gruesome battlefield despite screaming.
This brutal battle terrified even the Cuban officers.
This fight was totally different from previous ones with players.
That previous bunch of lunatics was outright non-human creatures; you wouldn’t consider those monsters as equals, no matter how outrageous their actions were, your numbed brain wouldn’t even be surprised.
These soldiers in front clearly were normal humans, with combat skills not much higher than the Cubans. They also suffered casualties while repelling attacks, but their fighting spirit and desire exceeded that of the Horizon Mercenaries.
The officers’ worldviews began to collapse.
"Aren’t they supposed to be bandit prisoners of war? How can you even call these bandits? What kind of lunatics is the Chaotic Blade Association in New America?"
Is this still the United States they knew?
You must be from a different dimension’s America, right?
Actually, it’s not that far off; David has fought a Normandy landing before.
In the ruins, David gripped the machine gun trigger tightly, coordinating with Dolio to suppress enemies behind the rubble on the street, buying Mann time for the bombing.
Their squad held back a platoon of the opposition here, with over twenty soldiers following in the vicinity of the infantry fighting vehicles, trying to advance while using the infantry fighting vehicle’s armor as cover.
Mann raised his custom equipment, a giant Power Armor mechanical arm, with a cannon barrel emerging from the arm, which was a six-barrel grenade launcher.
Thud thud thud!
A round of continuous shots nearly covered half the street, with seven or eight Cuban soldiers blown to pieces on the spot, others not dying but injured.
"Good shot, Mann!"
David excitedly retracted his weapon to reload, prepared to repel the third attack alongside his comrades.
Whoosh—
The opposition counterattacked, with an infantry fighting vehicle firing a rocket shell directly at the floor where David was, and the explosion almost collapsed the entire wall used as their cover.
David felt everything spinning, his head dizzy, ears ringing, unable to see anything.
"David!"
Mann’s eyes were about to pop out, wishing to rush out of cover and kill all these people, but thankfully his comrades held him back.
