Chapter 904: Strange Surrender

However, the dirty three were lucky. Except for a few cars in the front, the others were just covered in dust but unharmed!
The people behind stared at the dust in front of them in amazement, and a feeling of despair surged in their hearts.

Some people tried to walk along the two sides, but they quickly gave up the idea after seeing the towering cliffs and straight cliffs. At this time, they were madly cursing the road builders for building the road in this place.

The people behind were coming in one after another, but the people in the front were having a hard time moving. At this time, people who often drive on the highway know that if the cars in front suddenly braked, it could cause a huge traffic jam, not to mention that the road ahead is now almost completely blocked.

Peregrine 01 dropped all of its four bombs. Looking down from the optical sighting system, it could see that a crowd of people like ants were stuck in front of the collapsed cliff, and the crowds were piling up more and more.

The point of attack they chose was the sky above the road, rather than blowing up the road below. The rocks that fell from the sky could be cleaned up and used again in the future, but once the road below collapsed, it would be difficult to repair.

They are very thoughtful. These are their own things, so they still have to feel sorry for them.

"Peregrine 02, 03, you still have bombs, throw a few down."

I didn't notice that the enemies below showed any signs of surrendering; they were too far away to see clearly.

Since they haven't surrendered, they are enemies in a state of combat. Peregrine 01 decided to give them some big blows.

"I come!"

"I come!"

Peregrine 02 and 03 answered at the same time, they had been itching to try it for a long time.

The two fought over the radio several times, and finally decided that each of them would throw two first.

"You bomb the south and I'll bomb the north. We have a deal. No snatching." Peregrine 02 divided the enemies blocked on the road into two sections, north and south, and the two planes divided it up.

At this time, they were a little annoyed. Why didn't they bring some cluster bombs? Even ordinary cluster bombs would be fine.

In fact, they were carrying out the mission of air tactical support, for which it was impossible for them to carry cluster bombs, which are a type of bomb that can be spread over a large area. The enemy and our side were in a fierce battle, and cluster bombs were prone to causing accidental injuries.

While they were discussing, the number of enemies increased. They listened to the faint sound of airplanes in the sky and became more and more afraid.

The enemies in front wanted to retreat, but the narrow road made it difficult for them to implement this idea. The retreating enemies and the scattered but continuous enemies behind them were squeezed into several groups.

This made it easier for Peregrine 02 and Peregrine 03 to aim. They just had to point at these groups of people and throw their weapons.

They pressed buttons and each dropped a bomb.

Unlike the four bombs that hit one point just now, their bombs are meant to hit different targets. Although laser-guided bombs can be coded separately and do not interfere with each other, the Gong-4 cannot guide multiple bombs to hit multiple targets at the same time, as they only have one set of laser indicators.

The two planes dropped two bombs and continued to circle in the air several kilometers away, indicating the target.

On the road, among the two most crowded groups of enemies, someone with sharp eyes noticed that there seemed to be another small black dot flying over.

"Bomb! Bomb!" I don't know what kind of bomb it is. There are so many different kinds of bombs in Tokyo University!

The crowd began to move in panic, but it was of no use. The distance they moved was only enough for the weapon operator on the Attack-5 to move the cross cursor with his finger.

The two bombs still accurately hit the area where the crowd was the most concentrated, causing a shocking explosion.

The 250-kilogram bomb seemed to have overflowed its destructive power on this narrow road. Amid the huge explosion, it directly cleared two sections of the road several dozen meters long.

In the middle was a large bomb crater, with nothing inside except curling smoke and earth and rocks.

Outside, there were a large area of ​​enemy corpses and debris that were blown away and torn apart by the air waves.

Although many people were not killed directly by the explosion, they were pushed into the river under the cliff by the air waves and struggled to float in the water.

It is estimated that these people cannot be counted in the battle results. The comrades on the Attack-5 aircraft felt quite regretful. Our statistics on the battle results are very rigorous.

However, after these two bombs were dropped, they discovered the problem. A 250-kilogram bomb was too large and would be a huge waste in this situation.

If the bomb's killing range is a circle, then the only thing that is actually effective now is a narrow strip passing through the center of the circle.

Moreover, the road was not very solid, so we did not dare to blast it, for fear that the rocks underneath would collapse completely, making it difficult to repair when we needed to use it in the future.

They gave up on the attack with the last two bombs, and Peregrine 02 had an idea: "Let's go and fire a few shots!"

The 23mm cannon mounted on the nose will not have much impact on the road, and as specially modified attack aircraft, their ammunition capacity is far greater than that of ordinary fighter jets.

“Done!”*2.

Three attack planes rushed down from the sky like hungry tigers, and entered the attack route one after another, sweeping along the direction of the road with "da da da da...", plowing hundreds of meters of land. The three men on the road had never enjoyed such treatment before. The standing enemies were swept down in large numbers amid the wailing of fear. The 23mm penetrating incendiary bombs were still a bit too lethal to the human body, and the firepower overflowed seriously. Some of them lay on the ground without getting up, and the limbs that were hit exploded like balloons.

No one shot at the plane; they were so thoroughly frightened.

In fact, there is no need to be afraid of shooting, because the armor plates installed on the body of the Gong-5 are simply impossible for the light weapons in the hands of the infantry to penetrate.

I don't know who took the lead, but the enemy knelt down on the road with a "thump". In an instant, other enemies followed suit and knelt down in a large group on the road. Some of them even remembered that they brought the most useful weapon in this situation!
When several Peregrines turned back and prepared to enter the attack route again, the weapon operator of the leading Peregrine 01 discovered from the optical system that there were rows of enemies kneeling on the road with their hands raised, and even a lot of white sheets were fluttering inside.

I don’t know where the enemy got this thing from, but I guess it was used by officers.

Gallic Rooster: Why bother? Just cut out the middle part of the flag and use it.

"Stop fighting, they surrender." Peregrine 01 shouted to the two attack planes behind.

"Ah? There's no way we can go down to accept the surrender." Our pilot comrades have never encountered such a spectacle and have no experience at all.

This is really unacceptable.

Peregrine 01 thought as he withdrew from the attack route.

"Got it. We will enter from the side and fire a burst of bullets 100 meters in the direction they are running away. I hope they can understand what we mean - we won't fire unless they run away."

Peregrine 01 said to his comrades.

This is the only solution. They can stay here for quite a while and the plane still has plenty of fuel, but they can only watch.

I hope the enemy can understand what we are saying. If not, there is nothing we can do.

“Woo~~~~~~~Da da da da…”

Three planes came in from the upper side of the road and fired several shots in front of the enemy, causing sand and rocks to fly everywhere, but they were still far away from the enemy.

"This is Peregrine 01. The attack mission has been completed. The enemy has been blocked at the designated location and most of them have surrendered."

The Weinan East Front Joint Air and Land Command was stunned when listening to the report of Peregrine 01. Surrender? What was going on?

It's so ridiculous. We have been fighting for decades and have never heard of this way of surrender.

"Order the pursuing troops to speed up! At least send a troop over to capture prisoners first. Let the air force comrades hang around on top, wasting fuel."

On the flank of the battlefield, a reserve force that followed up was luckily chosen to carry out this mission. Originally, they were rushing in with the centripetal assault troops, but being on the flank, they were actually closest to the fleeing enemy.

"Company commander, the front command is calling." The signalman hurried to the company commander and handed him the radio microphone.

The company commander took the microphone. He was upset about being in the reserve team, but after listening to a few words, he showed joy: "Yes! We will complete the mission resolutely!"

After ending the call, he thrust the microphone into the hands of the communicator and shouted, "Everyone above the platoon leader level, come here. Don't follow the attacking team in front. There is a new mission!"

More than an hour later, when the company was chasing along the road, they had already captured many prisoners and killed many scattered enemies on the way, and only then did they realize why they were asked to come quickly.

On the road ahead, a large group of enemies were kneeling in a crowd, with their hands raised high and white flags fluttering.

At this time, the enemy lieutenant general commander in the enemy's heavy force group in the western section of Weinan had received some not-so-good news.

"Since about 8 a.m., there have been sporadic reports that one of our brigades in the eastern section has come under attack from the Eastern Army."

"What? Tell them that they must hold on. If they hold on, there will be a way. The Dong army cannot break through our defense line. What's the situation now?" The enemy commander had full confidence in the defensive fortifications that they had built in the eastern section for a long time, not to mention that they had received "reinforcements" from a battalion.

"The situation is unclear right now. These reports are just sporadic reports from their battalion and company-level troops. They don't know the overall situation of the battle."

"Why didn't the brigade headquarters of the Eastern Front Brigade report this?!" The enemy commander felt something was wrong.

"I don't know. According to their battalion-level troops' report, they can't contact the brigade headquarters at all."

"Does the Eastern Front Brigade want to report after winning the battle? Do they want to serve a bottle of aperitif for our 'birthday offensive'?" The commander became inexplicably optimistic again.

"Not sure. We can't receive reports from the battalion or company level right now. The fighting must be very intense."

"Then let's wait a while. By evening, there will probably be a result. Lord Dong will learn a lesson in front of our troops! Hahaha!" The commander maintained an optimistic attitude.
