District 9

When Jiang Xiaolong died and Coco was captured alive, Xiang Zehao still led more than 10,000 troops to attack Xia Island.

After several hours of fermentation, Xia Island's offensive and defensive battle has reached its most brutal stage. After Li Bokang landed at Xia Island Airport, he first contacted Zhou Xingli and Yan Hu, suggesting that they gather the existing troops on the island and defend around the airport. At the same time, he notified the European Area 1 armed forces on the island to reinforce the Chinese influence area.

This defensive idea can be said to be very clear. Li Bokang almost completely guessed Xiang Zehao's intentions.

Why did the three major regions attack the island? What are the benefits of capturing this place? Li Bokang guessed that Qin Yu went through so much trouble to raid Xia Island for one purpose. He wanted to use this place as a springboard to achieve the military purpose of radiating the Yemen battlefield and the fourth area.

Why not use Yemen?

It's simple, because Ni Lai and other local armed forces cannot gain Qin Yu's trust at all, and he is afraid that the latter will stab the three regions at a critical moment. Secondly, the war in Yemen has officially begun, and subsequent reinforcements from the three major regions will be extremely risky.

It is better to ask for help than to ask for yourself. Only by fully controlling a springboard can you ensure the final firepower output of the three major areas and be able to radiate two major battlefields at the same time.

Li Bokang's guess was correct, so he suggested that Zhou Xingli and Yan Hu garrison around the airport, because this would be the most critical location in the war.

As a result, all the Zhou troops on the island were stationed around the airport in accordance with Li Bokang's tactical deployment.

At the same time, the armed forces of the European Area 1, which has about 3,000 people on the island, are also preparing to leave their area of ​​activity and reinforce the Chinese area of ​​influence.

…

Around Xiadao No. 1 Military Airport, more than 6,000 people from Xiang Zehao's department have spread out around the airport, ready to attack at any time.

At the same time, Xiang Zehao allocated more than 4,000 men to resist the soldiers from Ouyi District who came to support them.

After two or three hours of frequent mobilization and adjustment by both sides, almost all of the main forces were accumulated near Military Airport No. 1.

The war is about to break out.

On the back side of an inconspicuous hillside, Xiang Zehao was in a very depressed mood. He said to the commander of the 152nd Division: "Damn it, this Zhou Xingli is like a mental patient. His head is confused and then he understands, which makes me a little bit confused. I can’t feel his pulse.”

The commander of the 152nd Division strongly agreed with this sentence: "Yes, you said that he and Feng Ji did a good job, and our arrival was sudden. How could he react so quickly? Our real purpose is to control the airport?"

In fact, neither of them knew clearly. Li Bokang was the one who reacted quickly. They all thought that Lao Li was still on the Yemen battlefield.

"There are about eight or nine thousand people on the opposite side, which is more powerful than us, and there are no buildings around the airport. Once our attackers attack with a large force, it will be difficult for us to fight without cover or blockage around them." The commander of the 152nd Division whispered. Said: "...Do you think we can use any method so that we can advance quickly?"

Xiang Zehao lowered his head and glanced at his watch: "The War Department has already taken off. They are now in a difficult situation. We don't have much time. We must get off the airport immediately. We have no other choice but to rush to the airport." , with the company as the main combat unit and no main attack, as soon as the charge horn sounded, they all pressed forward towards the inside of the airport."

"Yes!" The commander of the 152nd Division immediately nodded and ordered the communications department: "Start issuing combat orders."

Xiang Zehao was lying on the top of the hill, looking at the footage fed back by the unmanned reconnaissance drone, with a stern expression on his face.

About two minutes later, more than 6,000 people from Xiang Zehao's department were all ready, and more than 6,000 pairs of eyes were locked on Xia Island's largest military airport.

Suddenly, a high-pitched charge trumpet sounded in the offensive position.

"Come on!"

"Three companies, charge!"

"...!"

Shouts rang out from all directions, and more than 6,000 people rushed towards the largest military airport on the island.

Inside the airport, near the second tower, Yan Hu saw all the soldiers from the three surrounding areas rushing up, and immediately issued an order: "They are coming! All troops can only defend, not attack. The helicopter formation took off and prepared to defend!"

About five minutes later, all the troops from the three districts rushed to the offensive position. The nearest troops were less than 200 to 300 meters away from the airport runway.

"Da da da……!"

At this moment, the defensive firepower inside the airport was fully activated. Machine gun positions, artillery positions, fortress defense points of the military airport, and rocket launch points all opened fire at almost the same time.

Soldiers from the three major districts carried on the fire defense with almost no loopholes and began to attack the inside of the airport frantically. At the same time, the peripheral fire cover units arranged by Xiang Zehao also began to attack on their own.

The meat grinding battle begins.

A helicopter formation flew out from inside the airport and flew towards the three major area troops that were attacking the most fiercely on the south side.

On the leading helicopter, the commanding officer shouted expressionlessly: "They are spread out in a wide formation. Conventional bombs are useless. All crew members must replace vapor bombs."

"receive!"

"receive!"

"...!"

More than a dozen helicopters instantly raised their altitude, accelerated their sailing speed, and flew directly over the heads of the troops in the three regions.

"Put it in!"

"Swish swish swish...!"

At least hundreds of solidified vapor bombs fell from the sky.

"Boom, boom boom...!"

The moment the bombs fell, the more than 200-meter-long offensive line of the three major areas turned into a sea of ​​​​fire.

The flames were more than ten meters high and thirty or forty meters wide. The soldiers from the three districts who were charging in the flames were incinerated without even having time to howl.

The firelight quickly became faint, and hundreds of burnt corpses were vaguely visible in the dancing flames, but they were still standing. Their bodies had been carbonized, because the high temperature erupted in a short period of time from the gas bombs killed them almost instantly. They still maintained their offensive posture before they died.

A wave of fire broke out, and more than 300 people were directly killed in the flames.

"Swish swish swish...!"

The rocket launcher position on the left battlefield instantly launched a concentrated fire on the enemy helicopter formation. Seven or eight helicopters in the Zhou Dynasty were killed in just one round. The remaining aircraft fled the battle area in embarrassment and retreated backwards.

From almost every angle and area around the airport, shootings and bloody fights were taking place.

However, Xiang Zehao's troops obviously suffered more serious losses, because the terrain around the airport was too empty. When the troops rushed, there were no bunkers around them, and they could only be shot at targets on the spot. The enemy, on the other hand, was able to build defensive positions within the airport complex. Although there were some losses, they were still within control.

Yan Hu stood near the second tower, looking at the surrounding battlefield conditions, glaring at the situation and shouting: "Just fight like this! Fight like this, we can hold on!"

"damn it!"

Xiang Zehao looked at the situation in the battle zone from the position, his eyes widened, and he cursed with great anxiety and anger: "If we fight like this, all my soldiers will not even be able to reach the airport gate, and they will all die!"
