Chapter 334 Road to Death

"The strike is over, we should send ground troops to land next, right?"

The officers of the old school were witnessing this operation. It should not be said that these officers of the new school did have two brushes. In just one day, they disintegrated the enemy's three-dimensional air defense positions on the entire continent.

"No, no, no, this is not enough. If we send ground troops now, it will easily lead to a bitter battle."

Marshal Stuer continued to issue orders as he spoke, and the second wave of offensive was about to hit.

Dozens of Imperial Navy bomber formations quickly carried out key strikes at various locations under the cover of fighter jets. At this time, the ground forces of the Star Alliance Army were completely blind and completely deaf.

They don't know what the next order is, nor what they should do. The only thing they can do now is to fight on their own.

“Buzz buzz buzz!!!”

Thousands of Predator heavy bombers, covered by Thunder heavy fighters and Lightning assault aircraft, quickly passed through the clouds and reached combat positions.

"Attention, all formations, attention, all formations, fire freely, fire freely."

Thousands of bombers quickly dispersed and began bombing enemy ground troops.

"what's the situation?"

The soldiers of the Star Sea Alliance discovered the black spots in the sky. After a brief silence, combat orders were issued.

At this time, a large number of air defense facilities had been destroyed, and the Star Sea Alliance forces on the ground were unable to establish effective air defense measures at all. The only ones that could be used were the remaining air defense turrets and the anti-aircraft rocket launchers in their hands.

"Boom boom boom boom boom!!!!"

One military base after another was detonated. The fighter jets swooping down from the sky accurately hit every key position of the enemy. A large number of armored troops turned into piles after piles under the terrifying firepower. Scrap iron.

At this moment, the armored forces and ground fortress groups that the Star Sea Alliance is proud of, these weapons that were originally intended to block the Imperial Army, have now become the graves of the Star Sea Alliance soldiers.

After a day of indiscriminate bombing, a large number of Star Sea Alliance ground facilities were destroyed, and nearly half of the tens of thousands of tanks were blown into scrap metal.

"What should we do?"

Several officers of the Star Sea Alliance looked at each other. They were now unable to resist the next human attack. They turned to passive defense to deal with the enemy's next plan.

"Our troops are shrinking from the periphery to the interior. All troops will retreat immediately tonight. We will shrink the defense line to ensure that the enemy will attack us next."

The plan of an officer of the Star Sea Alliance Army was recognized by many people present. The next thing they could do was to gather as many troops as possible.

A large number of radars of the Star Sea Alliance Army were destroyed, and they had no choice but to rely on vehicles to go to the defense areas of various troops to convey instructions.

"We are expected to carry out an evacuation plan at 3 midnight today, retreat inland via Route 19, and then take away as many civilians as possible."

An officer used a paper map to command. As for why he didn't use a holographic projection or stereoscopic map to command, it was because a large amount of infrastructure was destroyed. Now they can only follow the empire's offensive rhythm. The only possibility they can use now That leaves only home field advantage.

"Marshal, a large number of enemy troops are retreating inland along Highway 19. Do we need to send personnel to intercept them?"

"Okay, arrange for three bomber formations carrying high-explosive bombs to arrive. I require the complete annihilation of all enemy armored forces on this road."

"clear"

In the dark night, both sides of the road were filled with tanks, armored vehicles, trucks and troops of the Star Sea Alliance retreating inland, as well as millions of civilians.

They were riding in trucks heading inland, and on both sides of the road were anti-aircraft artillery units that were always vigilant.

The long convoy was crowded on the road. At this moment, they did not dare to make a sound, for fear of being attacked by the naval forces of the Human Empire.

Unfortunately, what they feared most came. Hundreds of bombers and gunboats emerged from the clouds, and their targets were precisely these advancing convoys.

"Anti-aircraft guns! Anti-aircraft guns!"

The artillery crew quickly raised the muzzle of the anti-aircraft gun, and then aimed it at the approaching group of bombers in the sky.

"Fire! Fire! Fire!"

The emerald beam shot into the sky and exploded.

The dense anti-aircraft shells could not stop these bombers preparing to drop bombs. Following the order, silver-white aerial bombs were dropped from the cabin one after another.

"careful!"

A flame exploded on the road and rose rapidly.

Several armored vehicles were blown away, and the surrounding Star Sea Alliance soldiers were shattered by bomb fragments and shock waves.

This was the beginning of a carnage that would turn the road into a highway of death in just a few hours.

Thousands of bombs were dropped, and these Star Sea Alliance troops were unable to organize effective resistance at all. They completely lost their will to fight under several rounds of strafing by fighter jets.

The anti-aircraft gun groups were destroyed, and countless torrents of armor they were proud of were like fish on a chopping board, waiting to be struck by HNA fighters.

The entire convoy became their target on the bomber, which was almost exactly the same as the usual training of these bomber groups.

Flames burned around these armored vehicles, and horrific explosions sounded one after another.

These vehicles undoubtedly became a giant oven, and the Star Sea Alliance soldiers and civilians inside undoubtedly became the main course of this barbecue.

The steel was burned red, and the body made a sizzling sound when it came into contact with it, followed by a burning smell.

The screams of alien civilians could be heard endlessly, accompanied by the inexplicable burnt smell in the air.

The second wave of bombers followed, this time they carried not incendiary bombs and high-explosive bombs, but more terrifying cluster bombs.

Cluster bombs are weapons that contain multiple explosive submunitions, which spread the damage over a larger area without leaving a giant crater.

Anyone within the range of a cluster munition strike, whether military or civilian, is at high risk of being killed or seriously injured.

Moreover, the power of the cluster bombs used by the imperial army is even more terrifying. After exploding, there will be a secondary explosion similar to a cluster bomb.

The alien soldiers hit by these tiny bombs may have their arms or legs broken, or they may be killed on the spot.

As for tiny bombs with such power, tens of thousands of these tiny bombs can be packed into an aerial bomb.

In the bombing just now, the Imperial Navy dropped tens of thousands of such cluster aerial bombs.
