The coldness of the Himalayas on winter nights cannot be described in words. Sergeant Mawu, who is responsible for guarding the 100th position on Shishapangma Peak, felt that his eyelashes had frozen.
The 100th position he was in was a snow-covered trench halfway up the mountain, more than 1,000 meters above sea level. There are more than a dozen soldiers, several howitzers, and a several-meter-long fort converted from a machine gun into the position, which is specially used to deal with humanoid weapons. During the time of the conference, there were more than 100 such positions on Shishapangma.
Ma Wu lay down on the thick snow, carefully raising his head and staring at the dark land ahead with his night vision binoculars. He received news more than ten minutes ago that the HER troops, which had been inactive for the previous two days, suddenly took action, and the location of his position was probably HER's main attack direction.
"That's weird. Logically speaking, you should be able to see it."
While Ma Wu was wondering, the army terminal received a message from the command:
"Large flares will be launched in 15 seconds. Please pay attention to all positions."
Ma Wu nodded, slowly raised his left hand to signal the gunners, and silently began to count down in his heart, when he counted to 1. A series of illumination bombs were fired into the sky from the fortress missile silo more than 1,000 meters directly above him. After a crisp "boom boom" sound was heard in the sky, the night suddenly became as bright as day.
A mighty HER army suddenly appeared in front of them, led by a row of armored vehicles spreading what looked like thick fog. It seemed that this fog interfered with the vision and radar. Followed closely by the Yingyang army holding shields, and at the feet of the Yingyang were various numbers of infantry and tanks, all charging towards Shishapangma.
"emission!"
Ma Wu waved his left hand, and multiple artillery pieces from the 100th position fired at once. Because the HER army was right in front, there was no need to aim, and their artillery became one of the first bombardments to hit the enemy.
"The Chang'an Cooperation Organization started shelling, and all units acted according to tactics!"
Zhuge Daozi, who was far behind, quickly issued an order. The fog-discharging vehicles at the front of the HER army slowed down. The Yingyangshi stepped forward and raised their huge shields to block the Chang'an Cooperation Organization's bombardment. Each giant shield of the Yingyang type protects dozens of soldiers and several tanks underneath them. Even so, the artillery shells that rained down still destroyed some tanks and soldiers, destroying their vehicles and killing people. The HER infantry followed closely behind the Yingyang type under the gunfire.
"Colonel Zhuge! We withstood the first wave of shelling."
Zhuge Daozi nodded and ordered: "Fire back with artillery and attack with air troops!"
The artillery troops deployed behind the HER front began to bombard Shishapangma Peak, although standing at the foot of the mountain, the iceberg stood motionless. But Ma Wu, who was lying on the mountain, still felt the mountain trembling slightly. Some small falling rocks hit Ma Wu's position, but the soldiers still did not stop fighting. In this extremely noisy and chaotic situation, the gunners looked at Ma Wu's gesture and fired.
"boom!!"
A grenade hit a group of enemy infantry and was blocked by an eagle shield before it hit the ground. This Yingyang type placed its shield on the ground and pointed its semi-automatic smoothbore cannon in the direction of Ma Wu's position.
"Take cover!!"
Ma Wu's shouts were muffled by nearby artillery fire, but his gestures were conveyed to everyone. Even if technology develops to the point where humans can enter and exit the universe at will, primitive communication methods are still the most effective. The soldiers immediately hid under the trenches. The Eagle-type semi-automatic smoothbore cannons that could penetrate humanoid weapon armor hit the 100th position one after another. Dust, gravel and snow poured into the trenches along with the smell of gunpowder smoke. The dust almost killed the soldiers. Half of their bodies were buried under the soil. In this environment, Ma Wu remembered the scene when those Ying Yang styles first appeared in front of him nearly a year ago. These steel giants cannot be harmed by traditional weapons, but they can easily destroy or overcome several trenches and bunkers.
"If HER ruins this meeting, the war will last for who knows how long..."
Ma Wu thought this, and when the enemy's shelling stopped, he quickly raised his left hand flat. The gunners saw his gesture and entered the shooting state in only 2 seconds.
"fire!!!"
Ma Wu waved his left hand, and the hidden machine gun battery in the position fired at the Ying Yang type that had just launched a bombardment. The recoil of the machine gun once again caused dust to rise in the trench.
"Hit!!!"
This cannon shot destroyed the head of a Yingyan. Although the Yingyang did not stop moving, this was considered a small victory for Ma Wu and his comrades.
"Keep shooting!!"
Ma Wu shouted with all his strength, and the gunners fired without slackness. Scenes like this continue to play out in every position on Shishapangma.
…
A dense group of aircraft appeared in the sky, headed by a formation of HER fighter jets. They were here not only for bombing but also to detect enemy anti-aircraft firepower. Behind the fighter group are more than 20 Yingyan aircraft equipped with flying devices. Their goal is to control the 1,000-2,000-meter-high area of Shishapangma Peak, near which there is the Chang'an Cooperation Organization's fortress gate.
Inside the fortress of Shishapangma Peak, the commander General Wu Xun was responsible for controlling the overall situation. After listening to his subordinates’ report on the number of enemies in the air, he nodded and said: “This is a conventional method of warfare. The ground troops rely on fog that interferes with vision and radar The tactics used to march are those used by the new EU in previous conflicts in West Asia. Where are the enemy's ground forces?"
"It is expected to advance to the plain area under Shishapangma Peak in 10 minutes."
"Very good, the cannons are in full swing!"
After General Wu Xun gave the order, all the anti-aircraft batteries hidden in the mountains appeared and fired a dense barrage at the enemy's air force. The first wave destroyed many HER fighters.
The perspective turned to Zhuge Daozi. When he heard the battle report, he folded up his fan with a flick of his hand, pointed at Shishapangma Peak and said: "Tell the air force to continue advancing, don't waste the sacrifice of the fighter force, and land at no matter what." On the mountain!”
In this way, using the fighter as a shield and equipped with a flying device, the Eagle continued to move forward. Seeing that they were about to reach the target, more than a dozen artillery-type "Hu Ben" suddenly stood up on the mountainside of Shishapangma Peak. These Huben, who had been ambushing here for a long time, had already completed their search for the enemy, and as soon as they stood up, they struck at the Yingyan type in the sky. Under the strong firepower, most of the Eagle Types were destroyed, and the remaining ones voluntarily removed their flying devices for self-protection and landed sporadically at the foot of the mountain by parachute.
"General Wu, the enemy's first wave of air force has been defeated."
Wu Xun nodded and continued to command: "Before the enemy's second wave of air force arrives, clamp down on their army!"
At this moment, HER's army has rushed to a vast grassland under Shishapangma Peak, almost only one step away from the iceberg. At this moment, HER's reconnaissance team discovered the new trends of the Chang'an Cooperation Organization, and they immediately conveyed this information to Zhuge Daozi.
"Colonel Zhuge, a large number of army troops suddenly appeared on both sides of Shishapangma Peak, attacking from the left and right sides of our forward, forming a pincer attack!"
Zhuge Daozi smiled and said: "Sure enough, they also used anti-radar methods to hide their troops, so it's time for us to get serious here. Give an order to all warships to advance to Shishapangma Peak together!"
The iceberg battle has just begun.
