My Wife is Actually a top-tier Soldier King?!-Chapter 1116 - 1049 Metal Storm! Plane Crash Mystery! _2
And the effect, it’s truly domineering.
This explosion feels like thousands of artillery are continuously pouring ammunition down on this place.
And the accuracy is absolutely high; it only explodes within the blast zone, without harming the safe areas.
The areas with militant activity detected by the unmanned reconnaissance drones have all been marked by Wu Jie for the blast zone.
I guess after the bombing, it would be tough even to collect bodies; they are absolutely pulverized into powder, wiped clean from existence.
After all, this bombing lasts for a full half-hour!
Forget about civilian armed forces, even if it were armored mechanized troops, being bombed relentlessly for half an hour, no one would survive.
Can Earth’s main battle tanks and infantry fighting vehicles withstand such relentless torment like the alloy mechs of higher civilizations?
So...
Just enjoy the spectacular scene!
Just like during celebrations, spending money on fireworks, the splendid fireworks blooming in the sky, the more magnificent they are, the more expensive they seem, as if money is burning.
Now, what’s unleashed on the ground with 50 million energy points, ’Metal Storm,’ blasts forth unparalleled momentum, as if energy points are burning.
The continuous explosions, initially exciting to see and seem spectacular.
But...
After watching for a while, it becomes numbing.
Just like watching fireworks, initially pretty and impressive.
But if it keeps going non-stop, the booming explosions... really become boring.
Wearing noise-cancelling headphones, lighting a cigarette, leaning back in his seat, Wu Jie sent a text message to Tang Xiao.
The fire coverage will continue for another twenty minutes, letting her rest assured, and others can also confidently treat and clean their wounds.
Previously, the defensive positions were bombarded with rocket artillery three rounds in a row, leaving many fragments from the exploded rockets.
Fighting hard, dodging gunfire, who had time to watch their surroundings, so injuries from shrapnel cuts and punctures were inevitable.
Moreover, sustained combat, highly focused, all the shooting and dodging also especially exhausted one’s strength.
In this brilliant and ferocious explosion, everyone is enjoying a rare moment of leisure.
Of course.
Wu Jie did not rest.
Such a devastating ’Metal Storm’ would definitely mean they could escape once it’s over.
And bombing this long, it could absolutely level everything to the ground, turning the desert directly into scorched earth.
With this aircraft capable of short takeoffs and landings, removing the seats to reduce weight, and transporting everyone along with two nuclear warheads, there was no difficulty.
However, there were two other matters that needed handling.
The first matter was calling off the rescue.
The War Statistics Institute’s special aircraft was hit by a missile, right before crashing, Tang Xiao and others parachuted, and their landing spot was easily deduced, Tang Xiao also provided exact satellite coordinates upon landing.
Finding this place wasn’t difficult, but why couldn’t Nabiya’s regular army, not even ’late to the party,’ do it? I just asked them, their troops were only just assembling to mobilize.
Their air force, though outdated with second-generation aircraft, is still capable of refueling and arming for a bombing run, so what happened?
Damn it!
More than an hour passed, the battle is nearly over, and only now the ground troops have assembled; the air force is still refueling and arming.
If it weren’t for Wu Jie, who was possessed by the system and released ’Metal Storm’ in a critical moment, everyone would have been wiped out by the militants.
With no heavy weapons, who could withstand the heavy trucks’ smashing and assault fire?
Nabiya’s regular army is undisciplined and poorly trained, it’s indeed tough on them to muster and move out in the middle of the night.
Looking at Nabiya’s current turbulent condition, to know that they managed to mobilize and prepare to move out within two hours is already showing face.
But what about the Star Federation?
They were once claimed to be the strongest globally, even in Nabiya, they possessed respectable military capabilities.
To track down the whereabouts of the nuclear warheads, they could quickly mobilize special combat troops and marines to Seleck.
And this battlefield, it’s actually less than two hundred kilometers away from Seleck in a straight line.
For the Star Federation Marine Corps, which can deploy quickly and coordinate attacks on air and ground, not arriving after more than an hour, it’s simply unreasonable.
Cars can’t make it, but what about their helicopters? Transport planes?
Aren’t they claimed to be a rapid response force, ready to deploy at any time in any weather, to perform a variety of tasks?
What’s the outcome?
When Wu Jie asked, he was told that the Commander’s office was still seeking permission and hadn’t received presidential approval to act without authorization.
Especially moving deeper into Nabiya’s interior and engaging in direct combat with local armed forces, fearing that massive casualties could cause a lot of trouble.
Afraid of trouble?
What trouble?
Fearing accusations of invading Nabiya, or interfering with Nabiya’s internal affairs?
This excuse made Wu Jie want to laugh.
Damn!
When two nuclear warheads were in Seleck, a special forces unit was swiftly deployed, and even an entire marine brigade was airlifted there.
To capture five mercenaries, they even resorted to using direct military force, storming the hotel...
Why weren’t they afraid of causing trouble when so many people died?
Deploying heavy troops to put the whole city of Seleck under martial law, setting up checkpoints and inspections everywhere, why not fear provoking criticism?
Therefore.
The "still seeking approval, not yet authorized" is just a pretext for shirking responsibility.
If Wu Jie explicitly told them that the twelve mercenaries and two nuclear warheads were also besieged,
Star Federation forces would probably reach there before Wu Jie, as the air forces at Seleck’s airport could respond very quickly.
Without nuclear warheads, where’s the motivation to act?
In short.
Relying on a mountain, the mountain falls; relying on people, people flee.
In these turbulent and chaotic regions, you still need to rely on your own strength to ensure safety.
Let Nabiya’s regular army not deploy, continue their deep sleep; by the time they arrive, it might already be noon.
Let the Marine Brigade in Seleck of the Star Federation also stop applying for actions, continue to lock down the entire city of Seleck, and slowly search for the nuclear warheads!
The second matter: tracing the murderer.
Nabiya’s airspace is prohibited for flights, but the special planes of various countries can still take off and fly.
The War Statistics Institute’s special plane had informed the multinational force led by the Star Federation before taking off from Seleck airport.
After taking off, the transponder was always on, yet it still encountered missile attacks, even four consecutive strikes!
Ordinary portable small shoulder-fired anti-air missiles can’t hit a specialized plane flying at ten thousand meters high.
It must be very advanced medium-to-large anti-aircraft missiles equipped with search tracking and fire control radar systems to be able to fire four consecutive shots and shoot down the plane in mid-air.
Had it been a defenseless civilian airliner, it would have been instantly destroyed.
Following the shootdown, the wreckage fell dozens of kilometers north of the battlefield.
The intense impact of the high-speed crash created a large crater on the ground, and the plane shattered into pieces.
If Tang Xiao and the others had not parachuted to safety earlier, Wu Jie might be on the ground now, trying to piece together the bodies from the mangled flesh.
So...
In such a poor and chaotic place like Nabiya, who would possess advanced medium-to-large anti-air missiles?
And who, knowing it was the War Statistics Institute’s special plane, would still shoot it down? And why?
To find out who the murderer is, we must hurry to find the black box...
