Chapter 307: War (Asking for a Recommendation Vote)
Three Apache helicopter gunships advanced at low altitude at treetop height, like sharks swimming close to the seabed, ready to hunt.
Their mission today was to cover the ground forces and block the attack of the demon robots.
The sky was filled with billowing smoke, and all they could see along the way were ruins and the remains of weapons.
"This place is exactly the same as Baghdad back then. If someone had told me a month ago that this was Washington, I would have put a gun in his mouth."
The captain of the Apache team said.
"Now I just want to blow those bastards back to their mother's womb."
They belonged to the Combat Aviation Brigade of the 25th Division of the US Army. They were originally stationed in Hawaii and were urgently transferred back to the mainland to resist the attack of the demon robots.
The 1st Brigade Combat Team of the 25th Division was on a position about 15 kilometers southwest of them. After the huge steel planet left, the battle line between the US Army and the demon robots was deadlocked, with teeth intertwined. Their mission today was to defend the position of the former 1st Infantry Division.
The diesel engine roared violently. As a Stryker brigade that has been refitted, the 1st Brigade Combat Team is equipped with various extended models of Stryker wheeled combat vehicles. After the armored forces in the mainland were destroyed in an organized manner, the 1st Brigade Combat Team of the 25th Division, as a rapid deployment force, was sent back to the mainland by transport aircraft as soon as possible.
As for the 1st Brigade Combat Team of the 2nd Mechanized Infantry Division stationed in South Korea, because it is equipped with all heavy M1A2 main battle tanks and tracked infantry fighting vehicles, it can only be withdrawn to the mainland of the United States by roll-on/roll-off ships.
"The great capital is now in front of us. Two days ago, our friends from the 1st Infantry Division were annihilated here. In order to resist these mechanical demons from continuing to harm our beautiful land. Today, this glorious mission is our turn."
Major Thomas stood on the roof of an M-1130 forward command vehicle to mobilize before the battle.
"We will teach those mechanical freaks what a glorious battle is!"
"They thought that ruthless slaughter could make the American people surrender and cowardly! They thought we would retreat after suffering heavy casualties! But all they received was our angry iron fist!"
"We are not alone, the Second Brigade and the Third Brigade, as well as friends from the 82nd Airborne Division are right beside us!"
"Fight, fight, my boys, even if we fall here today, our companions who rushed back from South Korea and Europe will take over our flag and continue to fight!"
A cheer came from the position.
"Everyone get in the car! Go to the battlefield!"
The brigade's field artillery battalion behind them began to fire, and the 105mm towed artillery fired a series of hot shells, bombarding the position of the demon robots.
The exploding grenades blew craters one after another in the city of Washington, and the wreckage of the demon robots was constantly blown into the sky.
The ground was shaking slightly, as if a giant was constantly hitting the ground.
"Boom!"
There was a whistling sound in the sky, and two F-15s flew low and flew to their rear.
The soldiers took off their helmets and waved them wildly in the sky. But Colonel Thomas was not as optimistic as his soldiers.
As the first force to join the battle, the Air Force suffered heavy losses. The remaining Air Force focused its main energy on fighting those flying demons and demon robots, and should not be able to provide ground support at all.
Sure enough, after the two F-15s flew to the artillery position, they suddenly changed into demon forms, one holding a magic gun and the other holding a magic fan. The demon holding the magic fan blew hard and blew out an extremely cold wind. The cold wind blew away the artillery on the position directly, and almost instantly froze a large number of soldiers to death.
The air defense establishment of the Stryker Brigade was zero, and no air defense weapons were configured except for the portable Stinger missiles that did not occupy the establishment. The only Stinger missile launcher that could be counted on was not configured in time because it joined the battle too hastily.
The surviving soldiers could only fight back with their rifles and stinger missiles.
Such a weak counterattack was ignored by the two demons. The stinger missiles bombarded them with white smoke. The warheads with too low charge could not penetrate the magic scales at all.
Not long after, the soldiers on the artillery positions were slaughtered.
"Boom! Boom!"
Two violent explosions, the connecting rod warhead of the medium-range air-to-air missile cut through their magic scales like a saw chain, causing effective damage.
"These damn flies again!"
The two demons looked at each other, transformed into fighters in mid-air, accelerated, broke through the sound barrier, and flew towards the sky. They were ready to go and destroy the F-22 and F-35 fighters of the Air Force.
After evolving into demons, the performance of the fighters they transformed into also increased sharply. Shooting down the third-generation fighters was as easy as drinking water. Only the fourth-generation fighters with stealth design could cause some trouble, but it was just trouble.
"Forward! Keep moving forward!"
The explosion from the rear shook the soldiers' morale, but Major Thomas immediately stopped their hesitation.
The marching combat brigade soon encountered the demon robots. The infantry got off the vehicles and occupied the foxholes and trenches left by the former First Infantry Division.
"Boom!"
The M-1128 self-propelled assault gun fired a round of horse shooting, directly destroying the demon robots in the front row. The demon robots also raised their magic light cannons to fight back.
The two sides fired fiercely. Chariots and demon robots exploded every moment. The sound of gunfire like popping beans never stopped.
The magic light cannons fired by the demon robots suddenly became very dense, covering a demon man who crossed the battlefield at an astonishing speed. He was holding a magic gun and was more than three meters tall. He was the demon man who had fought with Peter Parker in New York City.
"Boom!"
The magic gun directly picked up a saboted armor-piercing bullet, and the remaining bullets were ignored by him.
The sharp gun blade was breathing magic breath, and it directly cut open a self-propelled assault gun. The demon man swept the gun, and the blasting gun light directly minced everyone in a trench into minced meat.
He broke into the position, just like a tiger into a flock of sheep, and infantry fighting vehicles were constantly cut open and picked up. The demon robots broke in directly from the gap he tore.
Soon, the reserve troops in the rear came up, but they still couldn't stop the demon man galloping on the battlefield.
A light suddenly flew in the distance and approached the battlefield in an instant.
The demon held his spear horizontally and intercepted the Hellfire anti-tank missile launched from the helicopter, but soon, several more anti-tank missiles followed.
"Boom!"
The violent explosion engulfed everything.
After the three armed helicopters eliminated the demon who posed the greatest threat, they rushed directly into the battlefield and maintained the battle line that was about to collapse with machine guns and rockets.
