Chapter 164 Air Raid
After successfully repelling the enemy forces that attacked the baggage camp, Shanying and Chu Tianxun began to clean up the battlefield carefully.
During this process, they were surprised to find that the enemy forces that launched the sneak attack also had powerful armaments.
The sophistication of those weapons and equipment made them feel uneasy.
Shanying frowned and said to Chu Tianxun: "The equipment of these enemy troops is not simple. It seems that we are in big trouble."
Chu Tianxun nodded, his expression solemn: "We must report this to the boss immediately and let her know the enemy's situation."
So, the two of them quickly sorted out the information and rushed to Jiang Lingyin's tent without stopping.
Along the way, they all felt very heavy-hearted, knowing full well the importance of this discovery.
When they came in front of Jiang Lingyin, they saluted respectfully.
Shanying spoke first: "Boss, when we were cleaning up the battlefield, we found that the enemy troops who attacked the baggage camp had powerful armaments, and their weapons and equipment were as sophisticated as ours."
Chu Tianxun then added: "Boss, this matter is of great importance. We must formulate a response plan as soon as possible."
Jiang Lingyin listened to their report quietly, without any surprise on her face.
She narrowed her eyes slightly and said slowly: “This is all expected.
The fifteen-nation coalition dared to attack Longyuan precisely because they possessed thermal weapons of unknown origin.
Otherwise, with their past strength, they would have been forced to retreat to a corner and pay tribute every year."
Jiang Lingyin's tone was calm and firm, as if she had seen through it all.
She continued: “The emergence of these hot weapons must be manipulated by the forces behind them.
We must find the source as soon as possible to resolve this crisis completely.”
After hearing Jiang Lingyin's words, Shanying and Chu Tianxun felt a little relieved from their uneasiness.
They know that the boss always makes the right decisions at critical moments.
"Boss, what should we do next?"
The mountain eagle asked.
Jiang Lingyin pondered for a moment and said, "Strengthen intelligence gathering and pay close attention to the enemy's movements.
At the same time, we conduct comprehensive inspections and maintenance of our weapons and equipment to ensure that they can exert their maximum power in combat.
In addition, send an elite team to secretly investigate the source of the hot weapons."
Shanying and Chu Tianxun answered in unison: "Yes! Boss."
They immediately turned around and carried out Jiang Lingyin's orders.
Jiang Lingyin looked at their departing backs, with a determined look in her eyes.
She knew that this war would be extremely difficult, but she was confident that she could lead Long Yuan's soldiers to ultimate victory.
The war on the front line was intense, and the northern border seemed to be shrouded in a haze.
The northern defenders are fighting the enemy in an arduous and arduous battle. With fearless courage and firm belief, they use their flesh and blood to tenaciously resist the coalition forces' hot weapons.
The battlefield was filled with smoke and the sound of gunfire was deafening.
Each explosion brought a huge impact, causing the earth to tremble.
The defenders shuttled through the hail of bullets. Although their figures were small, they were full of indomitable strength.
However, this kind of battle with flesh and blood against hot weapons is simply inhumane.
Countless lives disappeared in an instant, blood dyed the earth red, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of blood.
Jiang Lingyin stood in front of the tent, looking at the battlefield in the distance where smoke was billowing, her heart full of worry.
She frowned and discussed countermeasures with Ye Wenjing.
"The war is so urgent that we cannot sit idly by. We must reinforce the Longyuan garrison, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."
Jiang Lingyin said firmly. Ye Wenjing nodded slightly, "Yes, we must act as soon as possible. But the coalition's thermal weapons are extremely powerful, how should we deal with them?"
Jiang Lingyin pondered for a moment, a gleam in his eyes, "We can use helicopters to bomb. According to the information from Qin Xiang Xuanji Pavilion and Lu Tinglin Tianwen, the enemy doesn't seem to have helicopters. Let's go and catch them off guard."
Jiang Lingyin took action immediately. She found a remote place where no one was around. The area was wide enough and there were no obstacles around.
She closed her eyes and summoned baby Mengduo in her mind.
After a while, baby Mengduo appeared in her mind.
"Mengduo, helicopter."
Jiang Lingyin gave orders.
Mengduo responded obediently, and in an instant, helicopters appeared in the open field.
Jiang Lingyin looked at these helicopters and a feeling of hope surged in her heart.
More than 20 people who had learned to fly a helicopter quickly gathered together. They all looked solemn, their eyes full of fighting spirit.
Jiang Lingyin looked at them and said loudly: "Brothers, the battle ahead is urgent and our compatriots are fighting bloody battles.
Now is the time for us to show our courage and strength. Each of us will fly a helicopter and head straight to the northern border battlefield to deal a heavy blow to the enemy!"
Everyone responded in unison: "Yes! Boss."
They quickly boarded the helicopter and started the engine. The propellers made a loud roar, and the helicopter slowly rose and flew towards the northern border battlefield.
In the sky, more than twenty helicopters lined up in a neat formation, like a group of steel eagles.
They carried Jiang Lingyin and everyone's hopes and flew towards the battlefield, ready to give the enemy a surprise attack.
On the ground, the Northern defenders were still stubbornly resisting the Allied Forces' attack. Little did they know that a surprise was about to happen.
A formation of helicopters roared through the sky, and the strong airflow blew down the grass and trees below.
In the cockpit, every pilot was concentrating, they gripped the joystick tightly and looked firmly at the battlefield ahead.
Jiang Lingyin sat in the co-pilot seat of one of the helicopters. She looked through the window at the battlefield that was getting closer and closer, feeling both nervous and expectant.
She knew that this action would determine the direction of the war in the north and would also affect Long Yuan's safety.
As they got closer to the battlefield, the tragic scene below gradually became clearer before everyone's eyes.
Amid the smoke of gunpowder, the defenders of Longyuan were fighting hard with the coalition forces with tenacious will.
Some of them were seriously injured, but still held their positions; some shuttled through the hail of bullets, delivering ammunition to their comrades.
Jiang Lingyin's eyes reddened slightly, and she felt a sense of admiration for the defenders.
"Prepare to attack!"
Jiang Lingyin issued orders through the communication equipment.
More than 20 helicopters quickly adjusted their formation, divided into several groups, and dived towards the coalition positions.
The coalition soldiers heard the roar coming from above their heads and looked up in horror.
The moment they saw the helicopter, a look of despair appeared on their faces.
The machine guns on the helicopter began to spew flames, and bullets rained down on the coalition positions.
Bombs were also dropped accurately into areas where enemy forces were densely packed, and each explosion raised huge amounts of smoke and flames.
The coalition forces suddenly fell into chaos. They had never expected that Long Yuan had such powerful weapons.
When the Longyuan defenders saw the helicopter in the sky, a strong hope surged in their hearts.
Their morale was boosted and they fought the enemy even more bravely.
"Brothers, our reinforcements have arrived! Kill!"
A general shouted loudly.
The defenders responded in unison, and the shouts of killing shook the earth.
Under the fierce attack of helicopters, the coalition's defense line began to collapse.
They fled in all directions, trying to avoid the sudden attack.
Jiang Lingyin looked at the defeated coalition forces below and a relieved smile appeared on her face.
She knew that they had achieved a partial victory in this battle.
However, Jiang Lingyin also knew that the war was not over yet.
Although the coalition forces suffered heavy losses, they would not give up easily.
She must lead everyone to continue fighting until the coalition forces are completely driven out of Longyuan's territory.
After circling the battlefield for several rounds, the helicopter formation took off again, ready for the next round of battle.
Helicopters hovered over the battlefield like a group of ferocious falcons, always ready to deal a fatal blow to the fleeing coalition forces.
Jiang Lingyin stared at the battlefield situation below, his brain working rapidly, thinking about the next battle plan.
"Pay attention to the enemy's movements and don't miss any opportunity to attack."
Jiang Lingyin spoke calmly to the communication equipment on the helicopter.
The pilots responded one after another and said they would strictly follow the order.
At this time, the Allied commanders tried hard to reorganize their troops to resist in the chaos.
But faced with the powerful firepower from the sky, they seemed helpless.
Some coalition soldiers fired desperately into the sky, but these sporadic counterattacks posed no threat to the helicopters.
The Longyuan defenders took advantage of the coalition forces' confusion and launched a counterattack.
They rushed towards the enemy positions like a tiger descending from the mountain.
The coalition forces were attacked from both sides and were defeated step by step.
Jiang Lingyin was filled with pride when she saw the heroic performance of the defenders.
She knew that Long Yuan's soldiers had iron wills and indomitable spirits, and that as long as they were given enough support, they could create miracles.
"Lower your altitude and carry out precision strikes on the enemy's important strongholds."
Jiang Lingyin gave the order again.
The helicopter formation quickly adjusted its altitude and flew towards important targets such as the coalition's command post and ammunition depot.
With loud bangs, the coalition forces' important strongholds were destroyed one by one, and their resistance was further weakened.
After a period of fierce fighting, the coalition forces finally began a large-scale retreat.
Jiang Lingyin did not order a relentless pursuit, as she knew that the defenders also needed rest and replenishment at this time.
Moreover, she also has to consider whether the coalition forces will launch subsequent counterattacks.
The helicopter formation slowly flew back to the base. Jiang Lingyin got off the plane and immediately discussed the next strategy with Ye Wenjing and other generals.
They knew very well that they had only gained a temporary advantage in this war, and there was still a long way to go if they wanted to completely defend Longyuan.
"Strengthen intelligence gathering and keep a close eye on the coalition's movements. At the same time, provide timely medical treatment to the injured soldiers and replenish their weapons and ammunition."
Jiang Lingyin arranged the tasks in an orderly manner.
Everyone followed the order and threw themselves into the intense post-war work.
Jiang Lingyin looked at the battlefield in the distance, silently praying in her heart that the war would end soon so that the people of Longyuan could live a peaceful life again.
This difficult battle has just begun.
