139: The American army was defeated and there was no way they could catch all the 100,000 pigs!

As the saying goes, a defeated army crumbles like a mountain.

First, the 70,000 infantry in the MacDonnell Ranges, after a series of shell and missile attacks, and then numerous improvised suicide drone attacks, had already abandoned their armor and weapons, suffered heavy casualties, and had no will to fight.

Then, as soon as the Anti-War Army soldiers, who appeared out of nowhere, showed up, they raised their hands and white flags.

However, the majority of the 70,000 were still alive, and even capturing tens of thousands of pigs would be a massive undertaking, so thoroughly accepting their surrender would take a long time.

Not to mention, there were still some who resisted stubbornly.

But within the ranges, only small skirmishes remained, along with battlefield cleanup and clearing.

The fighting outside the ranges was the main focus.

The Anti-War Army's air force was deployed in large numbers, quickly defeating the already limited U.S. Military air power and gaining absolute air superiority.

Without air superiority, long-range firepower, and air defense early warning capabilities, the U.S. Military's command system in the eastern theater of the ranges was completely shattered. Soldiers didn't know their generals, and generals didn't know their soldiers, leading to chaos from top to bottom.

The 20,000-strong American military fought independently, scurrying everywhere. The sounds of battle were everywhere, and everyone felt in danger, as if the American military were everywhere.

But in reality, the Anti-War Army's ground forces that could be dispatched to the east for combat were still few, only about three thousand.

These men advanced from west to east, successfully routing any American military that tried to resist.

Firstly, because the U.S. Military's command was disrupted, their combat units became scattered, giving the 3,000 men a local numerical advantage.

Secondly, this was the Anti-War Army's Independent Armored Regiment, led by Regiment Commander Qin Feng, who had repeatedly achieved military merits. Its combat power was extraordinary, its equipment was complete, its morale was high, and its vanguard was unstoppable.

Moreover, Qin Feng's Independent Regiment's mission was neither to kill the American military, nor to capture prisoners, nor to conquer any strongholds.

Instead, it was to employ mobile tactics, continuously defeating any large American military ground forces detected.

If you were a formed unit, the Independent Armored Regiment would break you up. If your team had armored vehicles like tanks, the Armored Regiment would use armor-piercing rounds to destroy your tanks. If you had heavy machine guns or rocket launchers, the Armored Regiment would destroy your fire points and ammunition reserves until you had no weapons left, at most an automatic rifle, and only then would the Armored Regiment ignore you.

Under this strategy, the 3,000-strong Armored Regiment moved through the American military's territory as if entering an uninhabited land.

Many times, the U.S. Military was so scared that even if they still had guns, they didn't dare to resist, fearing they would invite disaster.

Many soldiers even abandoned their guns and surrendered directly upon seeing the massive main armored regiment, but awkwardly, these soldiers were often ignored.

It's no wonder the U.S. Military surrendered so quickly. In fact, they had never experienced such a rapid collapse of a battle formation. The Anti-War Army's previous missile and artillery bombardment and subsequent air strikes had already crippled them. More troublesome was the inability to contact superiors and the widespread destruction of communication equipment.

And among the more than 100,000 soldiers the U.S. Military had assembled this time, how many could be considered elite, and how many had actual combat experience?

Contrary to most people's conventional understanding, the U.S. Military is actually very lacking in practical combat experience now.

Most of the people who fought counter-insurgency wars in the Persian region in earlier years have already retired. Moreover, this Anti-War Army is far more powerful than the armed forces in the Middle East, with fiercer and more courageous firepower. The U.S. Military came here not to defend their homeland, but to assist in "suppressing bandits" on an ally's territory. Many soldiers even felt in their hearts that the Anti-War Army's affairs had nothing to do with the U.S. itself.

How could they possibly fight to the death and resist to the end?

Furthermore, the Anti-War Army does not abuse prisoners of war and dislikes long-term detention of prisoners. This reputation spread through the Anti-War Army's previous release of 4,000 U.S. Military prisoners at once.

Being captured most likely means survival, while resisting to the death truly means death. Is there any need to choose between good and bad in this situation?

In short, the 20,000 U.S. Military personnel in the eastern part of the war zone were also rapidly disintegrating and surrendering, with only small groups occupying strongholds and fortresses to resist. For the U.S. Military within these strongholds, defeat was only a matter of time and would not affect the overall situation.

Alice Springs.

This was the only place in this war designated as a demilitarized zone.

Now, it had practically become a sanctuary in the battlefield.

However, Alice Springs was not on the edge of the battlefield, but in the eastern part of the central war zone.

Therefore, all major movements after the war began could be perceived by the people of Alice Springs.

The sounds of artillery and planes flying overhead never stopped.

Today's movements were particularly loud, and closer to the town, with various sounds mixed together.

Strange.

Logically, the two sides should be fighting mainly deep in the mountains, so ordinary gunshots shouldn't reach the town. Isn't this the U.S. Military's major rear area?

Unless the Anti-War Army had broken in, but is that possible?

The residents of Alice Springs were both worried and curious. They monitored the movements outside the town through the cameras that Huang Yanbing and others had specifically deployed around the town before they left.

Then, one soldier ran into view, followed by a second, a third...

All the American military were wearing U.S. Military uniforms.

Old John, a town councilor in Alice Springs, changed his expression.

What?

Is the U.S. Military going to break its previous promise and send troops into the town now?!!!

The townspeople instantly felt a sense of doomsday panic.
