Chapter 1009 - Orbital Airborne Soldiers (2/2)

30,000 kilometers below, in the northern suburbs of Donetsk, the night had opened the curtain for the battlefield. The trenches had divided the streets around the city. From time to time, green tracer bullets were sprayed out from the bunkers, flying in the empty night. Sporadic sniper rifles were like demons, taking away the fresh lives.

The sound of gunfire in the distance sounded from time to time, and the soldiers in the trenches had become accustomed to it. The shells plowed through every inch of the land. The black burn marks were like scars, printed in every corner of the city.

This line of defense was the last lifeline of the armed forces. It directly determined whether the democratically elected government of Donetsk would remain in place or become a government in exile.

About fifteen kilometers north was the artillery position of the Kane government army, where the 11th Artillery Brigade of the 5th Infantry Division was deployed. An hour ago, they received an order to fire at the northern suburbs of Donetsk, providing fire support for Arrow mercenaries who were attacking civilian armed positions.

“Look! What is that!?” A Kane soldier pointed to the sky and shouted.

Shining highlights descended from the sky, and they looked like lamps in the distance, but these “lights” were too high and too dazzling

“Sh*t! Are they rockets from Russians?! No… not quite like… damn, what are those things?!” Another Kane soldier nervously shouted.

The bright spots didn’t give them too much time to prepare. Along with the roar in their ears, the burning iron boxes broke through the sound barrier, tearing apart the curtain of the night, and directly landing on the artillery position of the Kane government.

Self-propelled artillery was directly hit by the airdrop cabin and turned into scrap metal, with the giant turret directly flattened. High-pressure steam rushed out of from the airdrop cabin, and the door slammed down. Four soldiers in kinetic skeletons stepped out from four different directions and rushed to the nearest cover.

The airdrop cabins fell one after another, and the Kane government force were divided. The hologram helmet marked the identity of the friendly force, the night vision made the dark battlefield clear as day light. Among the chaos, there were only explosions that covered the screaming and mourning.

The gunfire from the north came to an abrupt end, and the civilian armed forces once again regained the lost grounds. After some casualties, Arrow mercenaries were forced to retreat.

At the same time, there was an angry roar from the command room dozens of kilometers away.

With his eyes completed red, the officer was screaming into the face of the soldier that delivered the news while holding onto his collar.

“The 11th Artillery Brigade is completely wiped? By Russian airborne troops? How can there be airborne troops if there are no planes!”

“No, I-I don’t know.” The muscles of the soldier was tensed up, he was almost to burst into tears.

At that moment, the man who had been standing next to him without speaking suddenly spoke.

“They are not from Russia.”

Letting go of the soldier’s collar, the officer turned and looked at the man, his raised an eyebrow.

“Oh? Not from Russia? Do you want to they are your froce?”

“It’s Celestial Trade,” the man said. “And we may be in trouble.”
