830 Code: Retribution (2/2)
Land in the capital of Country F and end the war within 24 hours!
”Now! Jump! Quick!”
After the commander's roar, the soldiers in kinetic skeletons jumped out of the cabin.
Unlike the paratroopers of Moro, the soldiers dropped to around 200 meters. The slow descent device mounted on the backs of the kinetic skeletons activated, and blue lights burst out. The paratroopers of Celestial Trade cut off the parachutes behind them and struck the cement or high-rise buildings directly under the buffer of the short-range rocket ejectors.
The city was about to wake up. Under the high-rise buildings, the citizens of City M screamed and fled. Traffic became jammed when the EMP landed. When the paratroopers began to parachute, the entire city became a mess. Even the policemen dropped their guns and batons as they joined the citizens in fleeing to subway stations.
Occasionally, one or two patriots picked up pistols and were soon locked on by the drones that landed first.
Any person with a weapon was considered a combatant!
The Moro paratroopers landed first and immediately began fighting with Country F's 11th Brigade and anti-terrorist forces. Explosions of flames filled the streets of City M, and the destroyed armored vehicles were abandoned by the roadside.
After landing, Celestial Trade soldiers opened their holographic maps on their digital helmets. The Artificial Intelligence set by the quantum computer established the nearest assembly point and the attack routes were marked on the holographic maps. Everyone entered a combative state in the shortest amount of time.
Country F's soldiers who rushed to the urban areas for support became the reactive ones.
No one would've thought Celestial Trade would come up with such a radical and risky strategy to directly drop two brigades on City M instead of concentrating on eliminating the guerrillas on MLL Island.
In the war, Celestial Trade used the Reptile drone for the first time as an infantry fire support platform. The short-range rockets and small caliber grenades were used to unleash fire on Country F's soldiers.
The two sides started to exchange fire at shopping malls, bus stations, roads, office buildings, and other locations to compete for control of the city's major traffic arteries.
The battle was extremely tragic.
Because fighting took place in the city and in the capital, Country F couldn't use artillery to support their front-line troops. It could only deploy armored battalions that were stationed nearby and sent tanks and armored vehicles to wipe out Moro's airborne troops.
However, air superiority was in the hands of Celestial.
With the hail of bullets falling from the sky, Country F's ground units were like chickens facing a hawk, and they could only flee in fear.
As soon as anything was marked on the map, there would soon be a bomb or hail of bullets that smashed vehicles into scrap metal.
In order to avoid being targeted by Aurora-20s, a Country F armored vehicle backed into Country F National Bank. However, an air-to-ground missile still hit the target. The exploding flames shredded the entire bank door into pieces.
In order to end the battle as soon as possible, Celestial Trade could no longer avoid civilian casualties.
Since they joined the war as mercenaries, Moro would be the eventual scapegoat.
What's more, Country F's government didn't care.
In addition to dropping in a brigade force, Celestial parachuted 1,000 drone hives to City M and released a total of 8,000 Hummingbird drones. They programmed 16 groups of drones to clean up the ground units in Country F.
These groups of drones were like locusts, destroying everything in their path.
Overlooking the earth from space, all of City M looked like it was ravaged by fire. Smoke from the war burned from the suburbs to the city center, burned into the square in front of the presidential palace, and burned into the underground bunkers of high officials such as Aquino IV...
