My Wife is Actually a top-tier Soldier King?!-Chapter 1154 - 1069: Seize the Airport! Fierce Battle!_2
The special forces of the Star Federation, having already penetrated and attacked certain targets under the support of various fighters, attack planes, and helicopters.
Meanwhile, inside this airport.
More and more marines, fully armed, roared off in armed Humvees and infantry fighting vehicles.
Those who remained set up tents, established command posts, and field hospitals, among others.
Near the original airport apron, a field artillery position was rapidly established.
"Damn! This is going to be a major fight!"
Xu Feng couldn’t think too much.
He instantly stopped caring about his father’s back wound, swiftly took off his white T-shirt, and kept waving it.
"help～help～"
Xu Feng waved his white T-shirt while shouting for help.
Marines in charge of clearing and controlling the entire airport soon arrived in a vehicle.
Xu Kuishan had lost a lot of blood and had already passed out.
After being taken to the field hospital, Xu Feng urgently explained in English that they were just ordinary merchants from China, coming to the airport to catch a flight.
He pleaded with the Star Federation’s marine medics to save his father.
With yellow skin and black eyes, along with passports...
The medics, who had just finished their deployment and had no casualties to attend to yet, agreed to help without much hesitation.
Xu Feng expressed his profound gratitude by continuously bowing, then waited outside the field hospital, only to have his eyes opened wide.
The so-called global dominators, the big soldiers often involved in wars worldwide, were indeed professional and swift.
In no time.
Several well-set-up howitzers aimed their barrels high, targeting the urban area of Baldet.
Accompanied by a bang.
Flames and air bursts spewed out from either side of the muzzle brake at the top of the barrel.
The whole gun body sank downward, kicking up quite a bit of dust.
After firing the first shot, the artillerymen waited for a while, then quickly began adjusting the firing elements.
And then...
Boom! Boom! Boom!
One by one, golden shells were constantly being loaded and fired.
In today’s era, even though all kinds of advanced aircraft are widely available, artillery, as the god of war, is still indispensable.
No matter how powerful aircraft are, to precisely target without using precision-guided missiles or bombs, they must take the risk of being knocked down by enemy anti-aircraft fire.
Moreover, aircraft have limited payload capacity and can be quickly depleted, but not artillery.
Just like the artillery position Xu Feng saw.
It seemed to have only six ultra-lightweight 155mm howitzers, but they could fire large-caliber shrapnel shells, armor-piercing shells, and other types at a rate of 12 rounds per minute, unleashing fierce firepower on the enemy.
And with data from unmanned reconnaissance drones and calculations from artillery radars and fire control computers, multiple guns cover fire with very high accuracy.
The most crucial thing is...
Artillery shells are plenty and cheap!
Xu Feng saw a newly landed transport plane filled with boxes of artillery shells, quickly brought to the artillery position by forklifts!
Thousands of shells, enough to last through this minor battle.
Not only that.
The Star Federation with strong airlift capabilities also utilized numerous strategic transport aircraft.
They actually brought the massive, unwieldy, absolutely rugged main battle tanks, heavy combat vehicles, and the like.
Local civilian armed forces in Baldet, with their primitive and outdated rocket launchers and mortars, simply couldn’t penetrate or damage such heavy armored vehicles.
Besides, a large number of armed helicopters and transport helicopters whirred into the scene.
The arrival of these helicopters was clearly not just for rapid mobility and troop deployment but also for integrated air-to-ground coordinated attacks, using leapfrog tactics to strike where the enemy is weakest.
Of course, helicopters could also be used for material transport and casualty evacuation.
Xu Feng saw two medical helicopters marked with identifiers, parked not far from a cluster of medical tents.
They were ready to evacuate and rescue the wounded for treatment at any moment.
War!
It’s no longer a conflict between individual soldiers, but a system confrontation involving different types of troops and equipment.
Like the sudden airstrikes, rapid parachute drops, airport control, and establishment of front-line bases by the Star Federation...
The entire process involves not only quick action but also efficient coordination between various troops and equipment.
Compared to Abulaxi’s motley crew of civilian armed forces, how can they match up?
Not to mention weapons and equipment, even the quality of individual soldiers is not on the same level.
Their soldiers are descending from the sky, armed to the teeth...
While those under Abulaxi inside the airport are scurrying away in panic... 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Then facing aerial bombardments, artillery coverage, helicopter squadrons, and armored troop assaults, the battle in the Baldet villa area is bound to have no suspense.
In contrast.
Xu Feng’s main concern now is actually about the vault.
Stationed at the vault are Abulaxi’s most trusted guards and his bodyguard team.
Moreover, the vault itself is built into a mountain, with a large amount of reinforced concrete forming permanent defensive fortifications.
Equipped with many light and heavy weapons, forming crossfire for medium and short-range defense.
There are also various anti-aircraft missiles and artillery for air defense.
Therefore.
Capturing Abulaxi’s vault isn’t possible with just indiscriminate bombing.
Ordinary cruise missiles and artillery shells can’t destroy it unless heavy bunker-busting bombs are used.
That means those several-ton bombs dropped from high altitude, relying on high speed and their own hardness to forcibly break through certain thicknesses of soil, rock, and reinforced concrete, and then explode inside.
Just...
Using such a fierce weapon, wouldn’t it drive Abulaxi completely mad?
He has three nuclear warheads in his hands, all operational.
If he detonates them...
Then hundreds of thousands of people in the entire Baldet city area, along with their father and son at the airport, the Star Federation Marine Corps.
As well as many planes and equipment... everyone will be doomed together.
"Damn it, Abulaxi, you better be killed by the airstrike!"
"Definitely don’t escape through some secret tunnel and, out of anger, decide to detonate the nuclear bomb and go down together!"
Xu Feng kept praying.
His father, Xu Kuishan, was in the Field Hospital undergoing surgery and couldn’t leave.
Even if he wanted to leave... how could he?
Baldet Airport had already been quickly seized by the Star Federation, where their various planes were frequently taking off and landing.
Xu Feng didn’t think he could convince the commander of the Star Federation to arrange a plane to take them, father and son, out first.
At this moment, besides praying, all he could do was curse.
"It’s all Wu Jie’s damned fault! He’s really screwed us over!"
"Selling nuclear warheads to Abulaxi, isn’t this deliberately inciting conflict and causing a war between the Star Federation and the leader?"
"And I don’t know if YL Country will seize the opportunity to act? Please don’t add fuel to the fire!"
Just as Xu Feng finished murmuring, he saw on the nearby anti-aircraft position, the truck-mounted anti-aircraft missiles were suddenly fired in succession.
The missiles ignited fiercely, soaring into the sky to intercept the anti-aircraft missile launched from the city area.
However...
Missile against missile is too difficult!
With a thunderous boom!!
A large transport plane, that had lowered its landing gear and was preparing to land, was hit unexpectedly and destroyed.
Xu Feng’s heart skipped a beat, this war had completely escalated...
