Chapter 706: Devastation and Complete Collapse
Inside Hongyan Mountain, with the precise strike of the goblet bomb, the soldiers of the two Fuso divisions suffered an unprecedented catastrophe, and the crimes they committed received cruel and ironic retribution at this moment.
At the moment of the explosion, flames shot up into the sky, smoke filled the air, and the entire mountain seemed to have turned into a huge furnace, swallowing everything. Those soldiers who had once been arrogant and domineering, wantonly trampling on the territory and lives of other countries, were now as small as ants, helplessly exposed to the wrath of nature.
The sturdy fortifications seemed vulnerable to the power of the bomb, and the bunkers made of steel and concrete disappeared in an instant, exposing the panicked soldiers inside. Some of them tried to find cover, but were hit by the flying debris. The wailing and screaming intertwined to form a symphony of death.
The landslide came like a huge wave, carrying with it soil, rocks, and the remains of soldiers thrown into the air by the explosion, ruthlessly washing away everything. These soldiers, whether they were fighting or trying to escape, could not escape the clutches of this disaster. Their bodies were crushed by rocks, buried by soil, and eventually became part of the ruins.
In this chaos and despair, no one would show them mercy or sympathy.
Inside the crumbling fortifications of Hongyan Mountain, Gao Tengchang was experiencing the darkest moment of his life. His eyes, which originally shone with determination for victory and loyalty to the emperor, were now replaced by endless fear and despair.
With the roar of the first explosion, Gao Tengchang's body trembled involuntarily. He looked up at the sky and saw flames and thick smoke, as if the whole world was burning. He tried to find a safe shelter, but there were collapsed rocks and flying debris all around him. Every step was full of unknowns and dangers.
Gao Tengchang's face was filled with fear and helplessness. His eyes were wide open, as if he wanted to imprint all these horrific scenes deeply in his mind. He ran desperately, but his legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and every breath was accompanied by severe pain. He knew that he was in a desperate situation, but the instinct to survive drove him not to stop.
At this moment, a huge rock slid down from the top of the mountain, rushing down with destructive force. Gao Tengchang wanted to dodge, but it was too late. He could only watch the rock getting closer and closer, his heart filled with despair and unwillingness.
"No! I can't die like this!" Gao Tengchang screamed in his heart, but his voice was drowned out by the loud noise of the explosion. He tried his best to push the rock away, but it was all in vain. The rock hit him mercilessly, instantly submerging him in dust and rubble.
At that moment, countless images flashed through Gao Tengchang's mind, and he realized that all of this would disappear along with his life.
As his consciousness gradually faded, Gao Tengchang felt unprecedented pain and despair. He knew that his life had come to an end. In the bomb-destroyed Red Rock Mountain, he eventually became another nameless person in this tragedy. And his story will be forgotten by history along with the ruins.
In the ruins of Hongyan Mountain, the surviving Fuso soldiers were like frightened birds, their eyes were filled with despair and fear, and the former dignity and discipline were gone at this moment. There were broken walls and rubble all around, smoke filled the air, and the pungent smell of gunpowder and blood filled the air. Every breath seemed to burn the lungs.
"Help! Someone save me!" A soldier shouted at the top of his lungs, his face covered in blood and dust, his clothes tattered, revealing his skin injured by the explosion. He tried to climb out from the pile of rocks, but every effort seemed to be in vain, and he could only wail helplessly.
"Don't give up! We can definitely escape!" Another soldier responded with gritted teeth, while supporting his injured comrade and trying to identify the direction. However, the chaos and danger around him made him feel powerless, and every step was full of unknowns and dangers.
"Mom... I want to go home..." A young soldier sobbed softly, his voice full of childishness and helplessness. His comrade beside him held his hand tightly, trying to comfort him, but he himself could not hide the tears in his eyes.
"What did we do wrong? Why do we have to suffer such punishment?" an old soldier muttered to himself, his eyes empty and confused. He had witnessed the sacrifice and death of too many comrades, and the faith and ideals in his heart completely collapsed at this moment.
In the ruins, the surviving Fuso soldiers fled in all directions, shouting, crying, struggling, but it seemed that they could not escape the fate. Their shouts echoed in the valley, full of despair and sorrow.
Under the blue sky, the "Eagle Eye" major of the bomber formation was reporting their feat to the ground command post through an encrypted radio channel.
The voice cut through the static noise, conveying unshakable determination: "This is the commander of the Eye of the Storm formation. We have completed the saturation attack of the Red Rock Mountain area with goblet bombs. The target area has been effectively covered and the enemy's defense system has suffered heavy damage. The bombing mission has been confirmed to be a complete success. Please let the ground forces take over the subsequent finishing operations."
On the ground, Lieutenant General Ike, the commander of the Totenkopf Division, a commander known for his ruthlessness and efficiency, was standing in a temporary command post with a detailed tactical map spread out in front of him. His brows were furrowed, but his eyes were shining with a gleam of victory. After receiving the report from Major "Eagle Eye",
Division Commander Ike quickly picked up the communicator and issued an order in a deep and powerful voice: "Skull Division, this is Ike. We have received news that the bomber formation has successfully completed the mission. Now, it is time for our warriors to show their true strength. The 1st Grenadier Regiment and the 2nd Grenadier Regiment, immediately enter the attack preparation stage, act according to the "Hammer" plan, and use a pincer attack to surround the remaining enemies in Hongyan Mountain to ensure that no one escapes. Remember, we must end this battle as quickly as possible and at the lowest cost!"
As the order from Division Commander Ike was issued, a series of confirmation responses quickly echoed in the SS Division's communication network, and the commanders of each unit quickly mobilized resources to execute the order. The 1st Grenadier Regiment and the 2nd Grenadier Regiment, two well-trained and well-equipped units, began to advance towards the Red Rock Mountain position from both wings like two unstoppable steel torrents.
"First Grenadier Regiment, keep your formation tight, use the terrain for a covert approach, and wait for my attack signal." The commander conveyed tactical instructions to his soldiers via the walkie-talkie.
"Second Grenadier Regiment, prepare fire support. Once the first echelon engages the enemy, immediately cover the front of the enemy position with artillery fire to open a path for the assault troops." The commander on the other side also issued precise orders.
