55: An independent armored regiment descended from the sky and defeated the US heavy armored forces!
Huang Yanbing spotted a U.S. Military helicopter in mid-air outside the building and was initially worried, but then saw it turn around, its autocannon aimed at another building opposite.
That building was precisely where another friendly unit, which had just warned him, was stationed.
It was clear that the people there had also been exposed, or rather, they were also engaged in fierce combat with U.S. Military infantry.
Huang Yanbing's heart stirred. He quickly left his floor, went through the top-level passage, reached the rooftop, picked up a Stinger anti-aircraft missile that had been placed there earlier under a cover, shouldered it, aimed at the armed helicopter, and with a whoosh, white smoke and tail flames erupted as the Stinger missile shot out, directly hitting the helicopter.
The helicopter exploded in mid-air and crashed, scattering debris everywhere with flames, startling the large U.S. Military forces continuously advancing on the ground.
"Cough... 3rd Platoon, thank you."
The voice in the communication channel belonged to the 4th Platoon leader he had previously connected with.
"You're welcome, I'm withdrawing—"
Huang Yanbing dropped the Stinger missile launcher and retreated from the rooftop, quickly returning to his previous floor.
He had just left when, with a rumble, another armed helicopter suddenly ascended, its nose pointed directly at the rooftop. The next moment, it opened fire with a rapid burst, but there was no one left on the rooftop.
Now that the American military had air support, Huang Yanbing and his men could no longer stick their heads out of windows to attack targets outside the building.
Nor could they prevent the American military from scaling buildings or air-dropping to infiltrate the building from above.
The pressure on 3rd Platoon leader Huang Yanbing suddenly increased.
A sense of tragic heroism welled up in his heart.
"Brothers, do you remember what the leader said?"
"We are the people's soldiers!"
"We must protect this city!"
In the channel, many surviving 3rd Platoon soldiers responded with tragic heroism:
"We haven't forgotten!!!"
At this moment, the voice of another friendly unit cut in once again.
"3rd Platoon, this is Qin Feng, commander of the Anti-War Army Armored Independent Regiment. My regiment will support your area. Please hold on!"
Huang Yanbing was both joyful and moved.
The higher-ups had not abandoned them after all.
—
Qin Feng's armored regiment was currently the Anti-War Army's only regular and fully organized armored force, capable of independent operations anywhere it was deployed.
Thus, it had also been granted the title "Independent Regiment" by the supreme leader Fang Le.
On this first day of the U.S. Military's formal assault on the city, the armored regiment virtually became a firefighting squad, patrolling the city along their own front line, assisting friendly forces in defense or withdrawal.
The U.S. Military had absolutely not anticipated that the Anti-War Army would have such a complete and highly combat-trained armored force. Unprepared, they suffered significant losses.
"F*ck, f*ck, is that the American military's tank? Defend, quickly defend—"
Due to the identical source and appearance of equipment on both sides, the U.S. Military did not react immediately.
The muzzle flash of a 120mm smoothbore cannon appeared, and the next moment, a U.S. Military M1A2 tank of the same model at the very front was hit.
It wasn't just tanks opening fire.
The Anti-War Army's self-propelled artillery lowered its barrels, adopting a direct-fire mode. Instantly, 155mm large-caliber howitzer shells shot out from the muzzles, striking the middle of the U.S. Military forces.
An armored personnel carrier was hit and exploded, and the U.S. Military soldiers inside, packed like sardines, went to hell. A few who weren't completely dead stumbled out of the vehicle, enveloped in flames, struggling in their death throes.
The sudden assault caused panic among the U.S. Military.
They had envisioned a battle where they would completely overwhelm the American military in terms of equipment, but instead, they faced an unexpected attack at the same level.
After the tanks and artillery opened fire, the armored regiment's infantry also unleashed their power.
In short, the battle quickly became one-sided.
And the 3rd Platoon, whose members had just safely withdrawn, had their platoon leader Huang Yanbing point out the soldiers who were still able to fight, stating:
"Let's go, we'll add fuel to the fire—"
The moment he rejoined the battlefield, Huang Yanbing threw a grenade high into the air, reaching the American military's front line dozens of meters away.
The fierce battle will continue.
