Chapter 155: Ruins After the Air Raid
"All fighters, take off, don't fly at low altitude, attack from high altitude."
Seeing that three of the five fighters crashed and two lost their combat effectiveness, the early warning aircraft quickly ordered the other fighters to take off to avoid being hit by anti-aircraft guns and hydralisks.
These pilots did not expect that there were so many anti-aircraft guns in the Lishan base. The previous battles were all low-altitude dive attacks. Although they greatly shocked the hearts of the soldiers in the Lishan base, they were also exposed to the firepower of anti-aircraft guns and were caught off guard by anti-aircraft guns and hydralisks, losing one-tenth of their combat effectiveness.
However, after the fighters took off, it was difficult for the anti-aircraft guns to hit these extremely fast fighters again, because the number of anti-aircraft guns was too small to form a fire blockade. Facing 45 fighters, they could only shoot helplessly, and planned to see if they could shoot down some of them by luck.
The hydralisks were also at a loss for this situation. Their range was only more than 400 meters. Facing the fighters flying at thousands of meters, they could only stare blankly. As long as the pilots did not get excited and dive at low altitude, the hydralisks could do nothing to them.
"Destroy all anti-aircraft guns!"
The early warning aircraft sent a new order. Although these anti-aircraft guns were not a big threat to them after the fighters flew high, they had to be eliminated, otherwise there would always be fighters shot down.
With the help of the auxiliary aiming system, dozens of fighters dropped the aerial bombs in the ammunition warehouse one after another, forming a parabola and falling into the Lishan base.
Hundreds of aerial bombs fell, half of the Lishan base was covered by the smoke and dust of the explosion, countless houses collapsed, and the survivors screamed in the bombing. Except for a few anti-aircraft guns that moved quickly, all the others were destroyed by the explosion and buried together with the artillery.
Pushed by the flames, more than a dozen precision-guided missiles cut through the sky with a faint flame and bombarded the solid reinforced concrete bunker.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Under the attack of guided missiles that were one and a half meters long and weighed hundreds of kilograms, the one-meter-thick reinforced concrete could not defend itself and collapsed under the missiles. The anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns inside were destroyed, and the soldiers were either buried by bricks and soil or killed by the shock wave.
After clearing the anti-aircraft firepower of the mountain base, these fighters were reckless and started diving again, maintaining an altitude of about 500 meters. When they encountered the Hydralisks, they dropped a large number of bombs directly, blowing the Hydralisks into pieces, and the Hydralisks could not do anything to them.
The survivors running around in panic on the streets became the best targets for fighters. These fighters often quickly passed over the heads of the crowd at low altitudes, and two 23mm machine guns shot two bloody paths in the crowd.
The survivors who were shot were either shot in half at the waist or shot in the head to become headless corpses under the huge kinetic energy of the machine guns, and died miserably.
If they encountered an armored vehicle, these fighters would throw anti-tank cluster bombs and blow the armored vehicle into a pile of scrap metal.
The entire Lishan base trembled under the bombing of dozens of fighter planes. Houses collapsed, roads were destroyed, important military camps and important facilities of the base were mostly destroyed, and thousands of survivors died under the bombing of fighter planes.
In just half an hour, dozens of fighter planes dropped more than 300 tons of bombs on the Lishan base. Nearly half of the houses collapsed and tilted and could not be used. Large holes appeared in the base. The broken limbs of the survivors were scattered all over the streets. Many survivors were frightened and stayed on the streets in a daze, looking at the fighter planes in the sky without knowing how to avoid them.
After half an hour of bombing, the fighter planes' aerial bombs and air-to-ground missiles were all consumed. Finally, they returned under the command of the early warning aircraft to replenish ammunition for the next air strike, leaving only the devastated Lishan base.
Looking at the fighter planes going away, the survivors who survived by chance burst into tears. For a time, the entire Lishan base was filled with crying, and a gloomy mood shrouded the base. It was a mood of despair.
Li Yue, He Xin and others who came out of the air-raid shelter were also surprised to see this scene.
The houses collapsed, the roads were severely damaged, and the military camps were bombed again and again. Is it really the lively Lishan base?
In the air-raid shelter, they only felt the ground shaking, and the solid reinforced concrete walls above their heads kept falling dust. They did not really feel the power of the air raid. It was not until now that they saw the base in ruins that they realized how terrible the previous air raid was.
"Hurry up and treat the wounded, organize people to settle all the survivors in the air-raid shelter, and prevent Lingnan Base from launching an air raid on us again." After being surprised, He Xin was the first to react, suppressed the grief in her heart, and instructed the staff.
Following He Xin and others were staff from various departments. After receiving He Xin's order, hundreds of staff quickly treated and settled the survivors with the cooperation of the soldiers and rescued the important materials that were buried.
"All our anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns have been destroyed. If the enemy launches another airstrike on us, all the houses in our Lishan base will probably collapse. Then we will have to rebuild a base. Oh! I don't know how Wang Jin is prepared. If this goes on, we will definitely lose!"
Lu Yuanhuai covered his arm that was broken by the flying bomb explosion and the splashing stones. He said to He Xin and others with a heavy face, his tone was very lonely, and he seemed to have no confidence in Wang Jin.
Facing the enemy's air force, they simply could not resist, and Wang Jin's mutant beasts could not attack the flying fighter planes. If they continued like this, they would have no choice but to die.
"Wang Jin will find a way. He has never let us down, and he will not let us down this time." Li Yue's eyes were firm, and he spoke the voice of everyone. Wang Jin was the confidence in their hearts. As long as Wang Jin did not fall, they would not admit defeat.
Now the Lishan base was only bombed and the houses collapsed, and more than 3,000 survivors were killed and injured. This was nothing for their Lishan base with a population of 130,000. The senior officials and soldiers of their base could hold on, and even the survivors had such an idea. Everyone knew that the real force of the Lishan base was Wang Jin's mutant beasts, and these soldiers were just a foil. It was normal that they could not beat the Lingnan base.
If Wang Jin's large army swarm was defeated now, He Xin and the others would be fine, but ordinary survivors would definitely have a psychological breakdown. Even the most powerful Wang Jin failed, who could stop the invasion of the Lingnan base?
I am afraid that many survivors will surrender to the force of Lingnan Base. The end of the world is always crueler than reality. People will only follow the strong and will not consider the thoughts and feelings of the weak.
"Brother Wang will not fail. These birdmen are just proud for a while. They will not deal with them when Brother Wang comes back." He Youxi raised his middle finger to the sky and said bitterly.
"Wait for Brother Wang to continue to lead us to fight and beat up that damn Lingnan Base." Jia Ding's fat face became fierce and no longer had the smile of Maitreya Buddha before.
"Brother Wang is the strongest, I believe in him!" The cowardly Du Yuyan also made a declaration, and her pretty face was full of determination.
Lin Shibin followed Chen Dong. Although the two did not say anything, the persistence and unyielding expression in their eyes had already explained their attitude.
"Go to work! Wang Jin doesn't want us to waste time here."
He Xin glanced at everyone and said in her heart, Wang Jin, you can't let down the people who support you!
