Chapter 308.1: Victory!

Less than 20 minutes after the airstrike, the northern part of Bluestone County was ablaze.

Those survivors from the northern suburbs of Clearspring City seemed to have tampered with the fortifications of the marauders. As soon as the planes with propellers strafed across the roofs of the buildings, the buildings would instantly burst into flames.

There were fires all over the city.

The scalding heat and thick smoke completely blocked their way to retreat south.

As soon as He Shu got up from the bed, he who got woken up by the earth-shattering explosion, received an order from his leader Lion Fang from the messenger. He was ordered to lead his men to put out the fire immediately.

He Shu didn't dare to neglect the order issued by his leader Lion Fang himself. He immediately gathered his subordinates who were trying to shoot down the planes in the air with rifles and rushed towards the fire scene to the south.

However, what he didn't expect was that as soon as he rushed to the fire scene with his people, a plane fell from the sky in front of him.

And it crashed on the street less than 50 meters away from him!

He Shu was stunned for a while at the time. When he finally realized what happened, a burst of rage instantly surged up within him.

Thinking of those brothers who died tragically under the air strike and the sea of flames raging around, he no longer cared about the mission of putting out the fire anymore and rushed to the crashed plane with his whole group without any hesitation.

With 100 people surrounding 1 person, there wasn’t a need to mention a rat. Even a cockroach couldn’t slip away, let alone a living person!

And it was indeed the case.

The hapless pilot scurried around like a headless chicken, and was quickly blocked by them in a dead end.

Looking at the poor bastard who was blocked in the alley yelling strange words desperately, He Shu grinned ferociously, and his eyes were filled with cruelty.

He stopped his men who had lifted up the bazookas and were ready to fire, took out the smoke grenade, and threw it into the alley with a cruel grin.

Then he waved his hand forward. "Catch him alive!"

He Shu swore that if he caught that guy, he would definitely make that damned pilot regret coming to this world.

He would try all the torturing methods he had heard or seen on that person until he squeezed out all the information. After that, he would cut off his flesh a piece at a time, toss it into an oil pan and fry it into crispy meat in front of him.

He Shu licked the corner of his mouth excitedly, but before he could figure out which part of the pilot's body he should eat first, piercing screams came from the back of his head.

As he jerked his head back, his eyes just happened to see the overwhelming rain of fire covering the sky.

The whistling noise was like the sound of a pipe organ, and the concrete fortification was like a piece of paper in front of it, easily being blown into the sky by the destructive force.

There was no time to lie down.

And there was nowhere to hide even if people got down in time.

A moment of fear and panic was printed in He Shu's eyes.

Then in the next second, he, his entire company, and the street under his feet were blown up to the sky!

...

Back in the air.

Controlling the scarred glider, Luo Yu removed his goggles, stretched his neck, and glanced out of the cockpit.

He couldn't help but click his tongue in astonishment after seeing the bombardment below.

"Damn..."

This power...

It’s just too damn disgustingly powerful!

Within a radius of 600 meters, at least 50 130mm rockets fell.

The saturated firepower projected to the battlefield in an instant, and it even drew a silent circle in the center of the blazing flame.

Originally, he still wanted to rescue his coach Mosquito.

From the looks of it, there was no point.

The ace pilots hovering in the air forgot to dive attack for a while, and the noisy gunfire on the ground also silently paused for a few seconds.

The world seemed to have been paused, and only the scorching smoke was still rolling quietly.

Meanwhile, on the second floor of the department store.

Looking north through the reinforced window, Lion Fang's face was full of shock, while Bernie standing next to him also had a look of surprise.

The sound of the explosion that almost pierced through the eardrum almost made him think that their opponent had used a tactical nuclear bomb.

Just what kind of opponent are we fighting with...?

Swallowing, Bernie comforted Lion Fang who was standing beside him, and also comforted himself.

"It's okay... This level of firepower cannot last long."

"We only have 1 company and 2 firepower points in the south. As long as they are not crowded together, at most, our personnel losses would be around 30% to 40%."

The loading steps of rockets were extremely cumbersome. It was normal to take only 10 seconds to fire a rocket but 10 minutes to reload another. Not to mention that it was very expensive. If they could use 20 or 30 lives to exchange for nearly 50 rockets on the opposite side, it would undoubtedly be worth it.

In fact, Bernie's judgment was not wrong.

However, what he didn't know was that the company sent by Lion Fang to fight the fire was not scattered among the ruins, but all ran to surround the enemy pilot.

Since they didn't have enough radio equipment, they didn't even know that the previous round of barrage coverage wiped out a company of men...

...

In the south of Bluestone County, at the junction of the forest and the city.

Standing on the half-collapsed Elevated Highway, Chu Guang, wearing an exoframe, was overlooking the entire battlefield through 2 hummingbird drones.

A quarter of an hour ago, the vanguard formed by the First Corps and the players had already arrived at the front line, built a temporary command post, and set up a radio station covering a 10 kilometer communication radius on the front line.

At the same time, 10 truck-mounted self-propelled rocket launchers from the artillery group of the Goblin Corps also completed their deployment and carried out a saturated fire strike against Bluestone County.

"What incredible firepower..."

Holding the binoculars in his hand, Vanus standing beside him had surprise written all over his face.

Although he participated in the formulation of the battle plan, the power of the New Alliance's rocket launchers far exceeded his expectations.

Chu Guang smiled lightly. "Are you familiar with the defensive position ahead?"

Vanus thought for a while and said, "... Looks like the command style of the 21st Division of the Expeditionary Force. They are good at digging trenches, building bridges, and front fortifications."

"Looks like you're going to see some old acquaintances soon." Chu Guang chuckled.

Vanus smiled helplessly and didn't respond to this sentence.

"The saturated firepower coverage has ended, and our opponent should not have recovered from our artillery fire. I suggest starting the next step now."

"That's exactly what I intended."

Chat time was over.

Chu Guang stretched out his index finger and tapped on the side of the helmet, calling out the holographic screen.

After a pause, he ordered in a calm voice, "Little Seven, update Battle Plan No. 2 on the VMs of each corps!"

"Okay, Master!" Little Seven responded with its usual energetic voice.

At the same time as the voice fell, Chu Guang grasped the warhammer hanging behind him and pointed it forward under the eager eyes of all the players.

"The fort of the Bonechewer Clan is now directly ahead of us! Let's smash their front teeth!"

"Everyone, forward!"

The players who had already been unable to hold back their excitement responded with thunderous shouts after receiving the order to attack.

"For the Alliance!"

"Long live Dawn City!"

"Administrator is awesome!"

"DEMACIA!"

"Huzzah, adventure awaits!"

Neat but non-uniform battle cries resounded across the battlefield, and the battle to liberate Bluestone County officially started.

Under the cover of supporting firepower, the players followed their corps commanders forward, and some even excitedly blew the charge horns they made themselves.

Long before the operation began, the headquarters of the New Alliance formulated battle plans 1, 2, and 3 based on pre-collected intelligence.

These combat plans pinpointed specific action steps to each corps, and the commanders would need to decide which plan to adopt based on the actual situation.

In the battle, corps of different sizes would undertake different battlefield missions, and the calculation rules of points would also be differentiated according to the type of mission.

Some teams were responsible for attacking strategic facilities, and some teams were responsible for advancing the front line and capturing points. In principle, teams with high mobility were responsible for separating the enemy forces and encircling them, and teams with stronger firepower were responsible for attacking key points.

As for the precise tactical choices from the corps to each player themselves, they were decided by the corps leaders in consultation with the corps members.

After experiencing so many battles, all players who were qualified to be the commanders of the corps were high-level players who were deeply trusted by their teammates.

They knew better than anyone how to maximize their team's potential. And the fact that their team members were able to play so many versions together with them was enough to prove their charisma or organizational ability.

The scale of the corps could determine the maximum number of players in the corps, but whether it could be filled with people depended on their efforts.

Whether it was to bring teammates to have fun together, or to pay teammates in reality, as long as it didn't affect the server rules, Chu Guang would not interfere in any way.
