On October 3, the civilized ant coalition continued to attack.
The army that attacked this time was replaced by the Divine Envoy King's Army. Because the allied army that had fought hard for half the night last night and suffered heavy casualties was exhausted, "Gun III" agreed that they would temporarily retreat to rest. The Angel King's Army sent 100,000 soldiers and a similar number of support troops to take over the front in the morning.
During the day, the Destroyers were still very active. They not only stubbornly defended various strongholds and contained a large number of coalition forces, but also launched counterattacks of varying sizes without interruption, which extremely tested the commander's adaptability and the army's resilience. The intensity of the battle today was even higher than last night. If it were an allied force from the civilized ant tribe, it would really be possible for them to fall into a bitter battle due to unfamiliarity with each other, lack of coordination with supporting artillery, and slow command response.
But today it was the elite Divine Envoy King's Legion that went into battle. These legions had all experienced the baptism of the Great Wall Defense War. The proportion of veterans among the soldiers was high, and the commanders had all grown up in the blood and fire of life and death. Therefore, although the ground battlefield looked extremely complicated and fierce from the air, with strong firepower and skillful cooperation, the Divine Envoy King's army advanced faster than the previous two days.
It is still a four-pronged attack. The tactics of the four-pronged troops are very clear, which is to send elite troops to advance the front and seize key points, while leaving some troops to secure nodes on the communication line and some steep terrain, so as to hide those behind. As for the Destroyer strongholds that have not yet been discovered, a special team is formed to clear them out and respond to counterattacks. The supporting artillery is all motorized and rides on beetle mounts to support the battlefield as quickly as possible.
This set of tactics is similar to the overall strategy of the first phase of the Western Expedition. It is based on the advantages of the coalition forces, especially the God's Envoy King's Army, in terms of military strength, firepower, and communications. Therefore, even if the Destroyer desperately blocks it, by the next day On October 4th, the soldiers of the Divine Envoy King's Army had touched the edge of the Destroyer's last stronghold and approached the top of this low hill.
On the afternoon of October 4th, seeing that the battle was going well, Zhu Jue had just ordered the allied troops to move forward after resting to participate in the next day's attack. He heard a deafening explosion from the top of the mountain, and even the ground seemed to be shaking slightly. feel.
Zhu Jue hurriedly looked around and saw a small yellow and white mushroom cloud rising from the gravel and sand there. It was very conspicuous against the lack of vegetation on the top of the mountain and the blue sky. It was obviously an explosion.
The scale of this kind of explosion cannot be the masterpiece of the Artillery of the Divine Angel King. Even if the ammunition explodes, there will be no such big movement. After all, the frontline artillery is relatively scattered and there is no centralized ammunition warehouse. They all rely on the logistics troops to carry it from the bottom of the mountain in time. Go up and replenish the ammunition.
That can only be - White Belly Destroyer! ! ! And there must be more than one or two, it would take dozens of them all to explode to create an explosion of this scale!
Zhu Jue's heart froze. He didn't expect that the Destroyer here had hidden this killing force and had been holding back until now before sending it to the battlefield. It was probably that he had been lurking underground before being discovered by aerial reconnaissance. I don’t know how much the frontline troops have suffered, and whether there are any white-bellied destroyers that can be put into use.
On the battlefield, even "Ramboto III" was disgraced. The explosion happened right in front of him. The shock wave blew him away more than half a meter. His whole body was covered with dust. His tentacles were buzzing and he lost touch for a moment. Listening function. The guards quickly found him, and after some patting and contact, "Ramboto III" came back to his senses.
The explosion came very quickly and suddenly. At that time, there was no Destroyer in front of the God Envoy King's legion. The ground suddenly exploded. It was probably a self-destruction.
Fortunately, neither the senior commanders nor the main force were directly affected by the explosion. The first to bear the brunt was a commando team composed of hunter ant scouts, big-headed ant soldiers, and red forest ant auxiliary soldiers. It was about the size of a brigade and was located at In the center of the explosion site, this unit had disappeared after the explosion. There was only a hole the size of a billiard ball left on the ground, and considering that there were many stones in the soil here, it was enough to show that the power of the explosion was not weak.
Because they all marched in large and small groups, the losses of other nearby troops were not much. On the contrary, "Ramboto III" looked the most embarrassed. After he found out the situation, he made a preliminary inventory of the losses, and then viciously ordered everyone to Jun quickened his pace and rushed towards the entrance of the Destroyer's lair.
The several entrances and exits of the lair occupied by the Destroyers are located a little lower on the southern slope of the hill. The leading troops of the God's Envoy King's Army had just barely surrounded the top of the hill and the entrance of the cave from four directions, when suddenly a large group of Destroyers They poured out from several exits at the same time and broke out in all directions at the same time!
This time there is no White Belly Destroyer among them. It seems that the Destroyer has also used up his cards, but thousands of Destroyers swarm out, and they are still following up in a steady stream, and they are still very threatening!
"Ramboto III" saw the opportunity quickly and immediately ordered the direct artillery units around him to open fire. The mobile artillery units dispersed and supported in small groups behind the front line also took the initiative to counterattack after seeing this. However, the density of artillery fire was not enough to contain the destruction in a short period of time. The most ferocious wave of offensive.
In less than a minute, the Destroyers had already rushed into the front line of the Angel King's Army despite artillery fire and bombing by the King of God's Air Force. The under-strength front-line troops of the King of God's Army were quickly rushed down, and some troops Besieged.
"Rambotu III" immediately pushed up the reserve team around him, and asked the liaison officer to signal the flying knight in the air to urge other troops to come to support immediately. Without his urging, the rear troops who heard the explosion had already consciously accelerated. Moving up, with this tacit understanding of defense, the offensive of the destruction team was finally stuck.
As more and more warriors of the God Envoy King joined the battle, the Destroyer's breakthrough wave only rushed out more than thirty meters, and the momentum was already contained. Instead, without the cover of the underground lair, the artillerymen of the God-Envoy King seized the opportunity to use powerful firepower to cause damage. According to Flying Knight's reconnaissance, some radar destroyers had already drilled out of the ground and were preparing to take advantage of the opportunity to escape. However, after finding that there was no hope of breaking out, they went back underground.
In the evening, the Destroyers were either dead or retreating, and the last chance to break out could not be grasped. The Angel King's army completely blocked the top of the mountain and built temporary fortifications to prevent the Destroyers from trying their best at night and repeating their old tricks. The supporting Allied troops also arrived at the position overnight, preparing to participate in the final offensive the next day!
