#392 - Chapter 392 Bombardment of the Building
Lou's base ground.
Amidst the hail of bullets, two figures appeared, causing the eyes of Tian Hong Group's personnel to widen.
"Holy shit!! They actually have tanks!"
Many of their surviving members couldn't help but offer heartfelt greetings filled with maternal references.
The war had just begun, and their side had already suffered over two hundred casualties.
This was only because they occupied favorable terrain, fighting from a high position, that they had such a casualty rate.
It could only be said that their base location was well-chosen, being in such an easily defended and difficult to attack position.
Most of those killed were the result of precise sniper fire from Green Source's team and those explosive arrows, with other firearms accounting for only about half of the deaths and injuries.
Keep in mind that the battle had been going on for nearly ten minutes, and Green Source had sent out more than a hundred members, meaning each person had only managed to take about two lives on average.
Therefore, Qin Jin couldn't wait any longer.
He needed to speed up the elimination of the enemy!
Boom!!!
A loud noise, far exceeding the previous sounds of guns and cannons, rang out.
The tank had fired!
Tian Hong Building shook violently, and even Tian Hong on the 33rd-floor penthouse felt the ground beneath his feet tremble.
At a height of about 3 floors, as the smoke and dust dissipated, a large hole, about half the size of a room, appeared!
Its power was terrifying!
This was the effect of a 125mm high-explosive shell!
The bombardment did not stop, and another tank began to aim and fire.
Boom!!
In a similar location, specifically the shear wall of the building, the tank shell's powerful penetration and destructive force once again blasted a large hole!
However.
Tian Hong's people were a little confused.
Why were the enemy tanks always bombarding the second and third floors of their building?!
Wouldn't it be more effective to directly attack the upper floors to kill the enemy?
Many of them had been so frightened by the tanks that they ran back, trying to avoid becoming targets and being turned into mincemeat.
But it turned out that the enemy's aim was off?
The tank bombardment continued, and it seemed that several mortars and howitzers had been added to the buildings on the opposite side?
The roaring sound continued, and the entire Tian Hong Group building was constantly bombarded by shells, with the vibration spreading throughout the building!
Many people began to realize what was happening.
Their faces turned pale, sweat poured down, and an increasingly tense and desperate mood spread.
The enemy's bombardment wasn't inaccurate; they wanted to destroy the load-bearing parts of the building!
They wanted to blow up the entire building!!
Damn it!
These damned bastards!
Tian Hong, the leader observing the situation at the edge of the top floor, also realized this, his already unsightly face becoming even more severe, so gloomy that it almost dripped water.
"I x@#￥%\u0026*!!"
He could no longer maintain the composure he had cultivated after achieving success and entering high society, seeming to revert to the unruly thug he was in his youth.
What did I ever do to provoke you?!
To actually try to kill me like this!
"Boss! Don't panic too much!"
Just as he was losing control, a familiar voice came from behind him.
It was Mr. Ma.
He also walked to the window, carefully glanced down, and then adjusted his glasses with slight nervousness, saying to his leader with a little more composure:
"President Tian, this building is a genuine frame structure. No matter how they bombard the exterior, as long as the central load-bearing walls are not destroyed, there will be no risk of collapse!"
"Their waste of shells is definitely a stupid decision!"
At this time, Mr. Ma seemed to regain his usual wisdom, confidently explaining to his leader.
Oh?
Hearing the words of his top subordinate, the anger that had surged into Tian Hong's heart subsided slightly.
If what Mr. Ma said was true, then these people below were simply doing useless work. After all, their entire building covered tens of thousands of square meters; it couldn't be destroyed by just two tanks and some howitzers!
"Then prepare to counterattack at any time! And what the hell is going on with our communications!? Why haven't they been restored yet!? Are they all eating shit?!"
Tian Hong regained a bit of confidence from Mr. Ma and then turned to shout at the other cadres running back and forth in the hall, relaying orders.
From who knows when, their entire group's walkie-talkie system had been paralyzed and unusable.
Commanding the battle had been reduced to a backward mode of people running back and forth, shouting at the top of their lungs.
Their combat effectiveness could be said to have dropped by more than two levels.
Of course, the exhausted cadres didn't have the courage to refute their leader's words because they hadn't figured out the situation either. Since just now, the walkie-talkies had become useless bricks.
Ignoring his dejected subordinates, Tian Hong waved his hand to let them continue their counterattack and defense.
There were still thousands of people alive in the Tian Hong Group, so it couldn't be said that they had reached the most critical moment.
However.
Tian Hong, the leader, still felt vaguely that something was wrong.
They rushed over to attack them without asking any questions. Would they not have thought of these things?!
The more he thought about it, the uglier the centipede scar on his face became.
Never mind!
Let's prepare the backup plan first!
If it really comes to a desperate situation, he will at least have a chance to escape and make a comeback!
******
Without mentioning Tian Hong's command post, the Green Source combat personnel continued to reap the lives of their personnel.
Tanks and howitzers aimed and bombarded some of the visible load-bearing parts of the commercial building. One after another, powerful shells hit the target and exploded, seemingly making the entire building teeter on the verge of collapse.
Of course, this was just the external situation.
In reality, the building was still very solid. Even if the number of tanks and howitzers was increased tenfold, it wouldn't necessarily be possible to bring it down in a short time.
Of course.
Qin Jin had already prepared for this.
He didn't expect the tanks and howitzers to be able to do this at all.
The tanks and mortars and howitzers, which had been firing for a few minutes, quickly stopped and slowly retreated.
These treasures couldn't be destroyed by the enemy. Although it was unlikely that the enemy would have anti-tank rocket launchers or other weapons, and they had installed additional armor on the front of the tanks to block them, it was better not to take risks if possible.
The smoke and dust dissipated.
Leaving behind the Tian Hong headquarters building, riddled with holes, especially with multiple large pits in the lower 2-3 floors.
They stopped?
Tian Hong's personnel were stunned for a moment. The intense firepower had made many of them think that the building was about to collapse, but the enemy stopped firing so quickly, making them feel a little unbelievable.
"Counterattack! Counterattack! Counterattack! The enemy's shells are exhausted! Kill them!"
Another cadre ran over, shouting and督战. The personnel's fear was greatly reduced, and they once again picked up their weapons and exchanged fire with the enemy.
However, they were still at a disadvantage.
Green Source's marksmanship was more than one level better than theirs, and there were some snipers hiding somewhere. Whenever someone wanted to pull out a rocket launcher or throw a grenade, those hidden guns would arrive first and smash the user's head.
Making many of them no longer use these heavy weapons that they had previously yearned for.
******
On the ground, unnoticed by most of Tian Hong's people, two fully armed riot control vehicles and armored vehicles approached the building!
Among them, in the riot control vehicle.
Qin Jin coldly carried a box containing unknown items.
He climbed onto the roof of the riot control vehicle, looked at a large hole in the second floor blasted by a tank shell, and jumped in!
Li Bowen in another armored vehicle did the same!
