Chapter 1752 The Terminal on the Run
The orc rebel soldiers were routed by the National Defense Forces.
To enhance firepower, the grenade launchers used by airborne troops are standardized.
It's not the kind that hangs down.
Instead, it's a specialized rotary type.
The kind that can launch six missiles at once.
Although this type of grenade launcher consumes a lot of ammunition, its burst output in a short period of time is enough to clear an area with a diameter of tens of meters.
In addition, the terminal entrance is so small that a volley of grenades could send the planes flying into the sky.
The orc commander at the entrance turned pale upon seeing this scene.
He had just seen his men about to rush in, but in the end, they were all blown to pieces by a single grenade.
The commander, embarrassed, immediately began to discuss countermeasures.
His subordinates offered their suggestions and advice.
One officer spoke up decisively.
"We should try a surprise attack on the southwest, because there's a gap there. If we can plug that gap, we'll have a chance to turn the tide!"
Hearing the officer's words, everyone fell silent.
They looked towards the marked area to the southwest and found it to be an open space.
To be precise, it's the airport expansion area.
If we can take this area by surprise attack.
Then the orc army can quickly rush into the airport through this gap.
Although the paratroopers had deployed snipers in advance.
However, if there are enough people, the snipers won't be able to handle them all.
The orcs' idea was very simple and crude, and it quickly proved effective.
A large orc army is approaching the southwest, preparing to launch a blitzkrieg against the airfield from the expansion zone in the southwest.
Meanwhile, the situation at the airport terminal is extremely tense.
The two sides engaged in a fierce battle at the main gate.
Although the paratroopers were better equipped, there were simply too many orcs, and their equipment wasn't actually that bad.
The AK47 can pose a threat to heavy body armor at close range, not to mention that the opponent's Mauser rifle is using full-power ammunition.
Although its rate of fire can't match that of a fully automatic weapon, at this distance, a single shot can be fatal if you're not careful.
After a fierce firefight, the paratroopers began to suffer casualties, and the casualties were even higher than in previous airborne operations.
Upon discovering that over 80% of the enemy's weapons were at full power, the temporary commander of the airborne troops was in a real bind.
"Notify the division headquarters to request missile reinforcements!"
The commander simply couldn't hold back any longer.
If this drags on any longer, all the officers and soldiers will probably die here.
The orcs are launching an attack at the main entrance of the terminal.
The paratroopers requested a long-range strike from headquarters.
The division commander immediately called Margelov, who in turn requested assistance from the missile units.
The missile force took immediate action upon receiving Margelov's request.
More than six missiles were launched.
However, missiles can only play a minor role.
The missile unit immediately contacted Gudri at the front.
Although the 1st Armored Army is an armored force, it has organized rocket artillery units.
The First Armored Group Army has a directly subordinate rocket artillery brigade.
Moreover, the First Armored Army is only about 600 kilometers away from the capital of the Orc Empire.
The rocket artillery units are well within range of the Orcish Empire's capital.
Upon receiving the order, the directly subordinate rocket artillery brigade immediately began acquiring coordinates for calibration.
The rocket artillery brigade had already loaded its ammunition and was ready to reinforce the airborne troops at any time.
Because Gudri believed that the airborne troops might suffer a great loss this time.
Although the orcs are numerous and of low quality, they all use full-power weapons.
It has a slow rate of fire, but great power.
Paratroopers are already elite troops; losing even one is a huge loss.
Especially if the paratroopers are blinded and killed by the full power of the orc soldiers' stray bullets, how frustrating must it be?
Therefore, Guderian had arranged for heavy artillery units and rocket artillery units to provide support at any time.
That's right, heavy artillery can also fire for one or two hundred kilometers.
With extended-range missiles, it can easily cover a range of 100 kilometers.
Moreover, Guderian's 1st Armored Army Group continued at full speed without any pause.
The vanguard was less than 400 kilometers away from the capital of the Orc Empire.
If the journey goes smoothly, we expect to reach the capital of the Orc Empire within 4 to 6 hours.
Upon learning of the paratroopers' predicament, the Air Force also dispatched reinforcements.
Six Su-25 fighter jets took off from the Qingchi Kingdom Air Force Base.
They planned to wipe out all the orc resistance forces around the airport.
Don't be fooled by the methods used by attack aircraft; most of them rely on machine guns.
However, even a 30mm autocannon can take a piece of skin off an armored unit.
Moreover, most aircraft employ top-attack tactics.
A single burst from a 30mm autocannon would be enough to open up a tank.
Moreover, it's used to cleanse infantry.
Upon learning that reinforcements were on their way, the airborne commander breathed a sigh of relief and then ordered his men to continue holding the terminal.
But at this critical juncture, the orcs have already launched a surprise attack from the southwest.
The paratrooper squad defending the southwest flank inadvertently spotted a large number of orc soldiers approaching at the speed of light from the southwest.
Without any hesitation, a red signal flare was immediately launched.
Paratroopers could communicate via walkie-talkies, but in critical moments they could fire red flares as a warning.
As the red signal flare rose, the commander immediately maneuvered the drone, aiming the view toward the southwest.
When I looked at it, I was instantly dumbfounded.
Outside, hundreds of orc soldiers are blasting through the southwest wall at top speed.
From a distance, it looked just like a horde of zombies.
The airborne commander immediately mobilized other reserve teams and ordered them to quickly move closer to reinforce the southwestern defense line.
Five reserve teams were immediately deployed to support the southwestern defense line.
Including the two groups originally defending the southwest line, there were a total of 7 groups, with 70 people fighting against thousands of orc rebels.
Once the team was in position, they immediately began setting up machine guns at the high ground.
Without any hesitation, the team leader ordered the machine gunners to open fire at full capacity.
Because the machine gunners were their only asset in holding this place.
Moreover, the orcs chose an excellent time.
It just so happens to be the time when the Ka-52 formation is returning for resupply.
A squadron of Ka-52 attack helicopters wreaked havoc in the vicinity, eliminating most of the overt resistance strongholds.
Due to insufficient fuel, they had to return to resupply.
But at this critical juncture, the orcs launched a counterattack, directly targeting the weakest point in the southwest.
Because of the ongoing expansion in the southwest, it can be said that once the wall is breached, the land is flat and open.
After the orcs breached the wall, six BMP infantry fighting vehicles immediately rushed in.
The orc pilot in the BMP seemed to see victory beckoning.
So what if they're paratroopers? They're nothing but trash in front of our mighty armored forces!
Many of the orcs revealed ferocious smiles.
But is this really the case?
The next second, a whooshing sound suddenly came from the top of a hangar in the airport.
The next second, a dark shadow hit a speeding BMP car, leaving a long trail behind it.
