Chapter 797 The Battle of Gold Next

@@@@@ The setting sun shines on the Great Wasteland of Northwest Kansas. From a distance, this cursed land in the Indian population seems to be burning.

Guan Ze sat in the cockpit, holding a vertical pole in his right hand, and almost mechanically making a reconnaissance plane circle over the desert. Facing the monotonous and desolate scenery that had been seen for dozens of hours, a sour and tiredness that he had never felt went straight to his mind from the vest, which made him yawn a few times, if not the most The latter trace of will is insisting, and maybe his eyelids have drooped.

As the cousin of Guan Ning, the commander of the Second Air Division, he loved flying as much as his cousin. It was only after he was injured in the back of an accident that he was no longer suitable for fierce fighters and attack aircraft, that he began to fly reconnaissance aircraft and transport aircraft.

Of course, his report on the bomber has been handed over, because he wanted to try the taste of long-range strategic bombing before the end of the war, but today he regretted it. The taste of flying for a long time was too bitter.

Even he himself can hardly imagine how he persisted. From the beginning to now, he and his crew have flown for nearly 35 hours in a row. Except for two times when they went back to refuel for a while, they have basically spent time in the air.

The sun shines on the wide hummingbird wing, and a huge and fast shadow is projected on the ground. What swept back from the front of the shadow is countless debris, corpses and craters, and the charred surface gives people an indescribable sense of desolation and dead silence.

For more than 40 hours, the U.S. military has invested as many as 5 infantry divisions, 36 tanks and 60 cannons in this desert. The aircraft have come one after another, and I heard that even the main division in Oklahoma is coming.

In order to prevent the enemy from bringing the gold back smoothly, I also sent more troops here twice through cargo airships. From an airborne regiment at the beginning to almost two regiments with a total strength of more than 5,000 people.

The two air divisions in the North American theater gave their all this time. In less than two days, a total of 8,355 aircraft were dispatched, and 120 reconnaissance aircraft like him alone were dispatched. In addition, a total of more than 6,000 bombs of various types were dropped, and more than 50,000 bullets were fired. According to logistics comrades-in-arms I didn't consume so much ammunition when I attacked Albuquerque before.

Guan Ze turned his head and looked at the stone mountain in the distance. The last five airships were slowly landing. The five piles of charred black wrecks next to them were shocking. The fragile surnames of the airships were exposed in this battle, especially when it was impossible for aircraft fighters to ensure 100% at night, and the ground air defense force was insufficient. Five ships were lost at once.

The worst was the No. 22 boat that arrived last night. At that time, it was landing, and there were 80 heavily armed infantry in it. Unexpectedly, it was hit by U.S. artillery fire, causing all 86 people, including infantry, to be killed in the fire.

In the face of such casualties, all the air second division in charge of cover turned red eyes and directly dropped 32 "barbarian" cloud bombs on the U.S. artillery position and surroundings. The artillery position and more than 3,000 U.S. troops that were gathering nearby were all killed in an instant.

Such a barbaric and unreasonable bombing really scared the courage of the U.S. military. It was not until noon today that the U.S. military recovered.

After confirming that there were no threatening targets nearby, Guan Ze began to pull up the fuselage and fly to the southeast, which was the main direction of the U.S. military. It seemed to be the last batch, and no one wanted to fail.

" Captain, look."

After flying for less than 20 minutes, the shouts of the rear watchman made Guan Ze sit up straight. Before he could see the target clearly, a series of bullets had risen on the ground, and hundreds of tanks and heavy guns appeared under the wings

..“ Boom."

The shells landed in front of the sand dune position, and the raised sand and dust hood buried several airborne soldiers under the "American Land". When they got up, a whole row of American tanks had appeared in the distance.

"800 meters!"

"Get ready."

"Heavy cannon lying down."

The dense shells fell around the position. Under the strict order of the presidential palace and the military headquarters, the U.S. military has also been completely red-eyed, especially when it learned that Xinhua was unexpectedly airlifted by an airship, and it was so anxious that it almost vomited blood, because everyone knows that if it can't get the gold back in the shortest time, I'm afraid this war The battle was about to be completely lost, so the two main forces in Oklahoma were transferred back by train overnight.

Compared with the reserve forces, the main division of the U.S. military is much better equipped. It is only 400 kilometers from Oklahoma to here. With a large number of heavy artillery, it took a combination of trucks and trains, and it took two days and two nights to finally arrive here.

With the arrival of the main division, U.S. bombers from Kansas City also arrived, which made the fighters circling in the sky have to deal with the U.S. aircraft first, so the airborne troops and the three subsequent arriving army battalions had to face the enemy's ground offensive alone.

"Don't leave the cannonballs, let the rocket launcher hit me hard!"

"Direction 180, shoot quickly!"

The support order from the front made the rocket position on the top of the mountain begin to spread joy. Because there were not many shells carried this time, they have been restrained from using them. At this time, after getting the order and there was no need to save, the artillery began to fill the rockets into the barrel desperately.

12 tubes of 120mm rocket launchers are the key project of the Xinhua Army. If the 12 shells filled at a time are fired at full speed, they can be completed in half a minute. Although there are only 10, each wave can shoot 120 rockets with a power equivalent to 152mm shells, and the fire intensity is higher than that of land. The army's strongest "war hammer" self-propelled gun is several times higher.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of gray smoke belts appeared in the sky, with orange tail flame rockets falling around the U.S. artillery positions like hail. Such dense shells made the U.S. military a little dumbfounded. Could it be that the Chinese also transported dozens of 152mm howitzers with airships?

After suppressing the artillery, the infantry began to concentrate on dealing with the tanks. The 85mm recoilless gun was the main force against the armored forces. Coupled with the 12.7mm viper heavy machine guns on the 18 night cat armored vehicles that came to support, they finally resisted the U.S. military armored forces.

After seeing the bad situation, the remaining U.S. tanks began to disperse, using the open terrain advantage to widen the distance, so that Xinhua airborne troops and infantry had to draw enough manpower to carry out anti-tank warfare.

In this way, the fire density suddenly decreased a lot. After seeing the opportunity, the U.S. military commander also decisively invested in the last batch of cavalry, and thousands of horses rushed to the position in the crazy shouts of the U.S. military.

Seeing that the situation on the ground was urgent, the fighter squadron responsible for the air interception task immediately pulled out some Mustang fighters and used the aircraft machine gun to repeatedly shoot from low altitude. The dense bullets kept rolling in the middle of the cavalry. Many horses were hit by bullets before they reached the maximum speed and fell down.

When the remaining cavalry approached, hundreds of machine guns fired at the same time on the five-kilometer-wide frontal defense. The densely woven bullet screen instantly covered the swarming enemy. The first few rows of U.S. cavalry fell down like cutting wheat. When the infantry behind also rushed up, they were greeted by more dense grenade rain.

In order to curb the charging momentum of the U.S. military, the airborne troops also organized several counter-charges, concentrating the light machine guns and submachine guns in the army all the way, and the grenade smashed them crazily, causing the U.S. military to run away.

Seeing that the gunfire in the distance became more and more encrypted, and from time to time, shells fell nearby. Shaochang, who was responsible for the final defense and carrying the gold, was almost dry. The little gold left in the vault was over, but the gold in the damaged airships almost made him want to draw a gun to kill.

Although the airships are all made of wood, once the fire temperature is very high, those gold ingots are roasted by the fire, and many of them melt together, especially a few boxes of gold coins, which are completely turned into super-large gold ingots. The soldiers who carry them not only have to clean up the wreckage first, but also use chis to divide the gold into small pieces, otherwise they can't be moved at all. Move.

At the beginning, in order to speed up, Shaochang simply used the explosives, but he gave up after trying once, because it was more troublesome to pick up the gold fragments again after the bomb exploded.

"Bracks commander, the east has been broken through!"

"It's too late! The command asked the airship to take off immediately!"

"Damn it!"

"Take off immediately when it's full. With explosives, how much can you bring!" Looking at the last pile of melted gold, Shaochang had to sacrifice the barbaric decomposition of explosives again.

After a bang, the grenade stuffed in the crack divided the gold ingots into dozens of small pieces. Seeing this, the soldiers quickly carried the gold ingots to the last airship. After the hatch was closed, they urged them to take off.

"Fly, you're fucking flying faster!"

In the scolding of the soldiers, the last cargo airship finally rose into the sky, and more than a dozen fighters that had been on standby for a long time immediately surrounded to protect it and fly south.

"Bracks, what about the rest?" The soldier looked at the remaining golden eyes in the wreckage red. Although these were just residues, many of them were stuck to other materials. It took a lot of effort to collect them, but no matter how small the mosquitoes were, they were still meat!

"Retreat in half an hour. It's up to you."

"My son, don't grab it. Leave me a few golden beans."

Shao Chang didn't expect that as soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers around him who had been jealous for a long time immediately rushed up, scratching with daggers, and busy picking up in the gravel. They were much more energetic than before! Because according to the regulations of the army, the airship just left and completed the task, as for the rest.

Damn it, it is estimated that there are still dozens of catties left!

Shaochang stuffed a finger-sized golden bean into his pocket and began to arrange explosives in the vault in the envy of the soldiers.

After receiving the news that all the airships had left, the airborne troops and the reconnaissance battalion immediately began to shrink and prepare for evacuation. As a full ton and a half TNT explosive buried in the vault were ignited half an hour later, the vault on the Kansas wasteland was completely buried in the rocks.

Looking at the mushroom clouds rising in the sky, all the American officers looked like dirt.

When the U.S. military finally arrived at the vault, they saw that the vault collapsed, and several burned airships were cleaned up. After not even one of the Jinsha was left, several people with poor endurance directly turned their eyes and fainted.
