Chapter 582 Battle of Cagayan City

On the outskirts of Cagayan City, 3 kilometers from the front line. ?? Hunting ??? ???

It was clearly in the present world, but the cold north wind was tinged with the desolation of the last days. scattered in the streets

Cagayan has never seen snow, nor has it been this cold.

In dark corners, homeless people can occasionally be seen living with stray dogs. The market on the street has long been closed, and hungry people are repeatedly searching for edible food inside. If they return with a full load, the guilty person may leave a note on the unmanned cashier, but most people will choose to turn off the flashlight and leave as if nothing happened.

It doesn't matter anymore, anyway, the Philippine peso has become a waste of paper, rich and poor alike are starving. Foreign currencies such as U.S. dollars and RmB still have some purchasing power, but no one wants to sell food and precious medicines.

The Moro guerrillas had pushed back here yesterday, and this time they came more aggressively than ever. But whether they come or not, there won't be any food and merchandise trucks coming here. After all, just a few kilometers away, a terrifying biohazard is erupting.

The civilians have long since given up their original political stance, no matter who they are, please end this stupid war quickly.

Whether it is the 14th Division of the Philippine Army that blocked Cagayan City or the Moro guerrillas, they are not good things in the eyes of the locals. As for the star ring trade, they rarely appear in the sight of ordinary people, so the locals don't have any intuitive feeling for these mercenaries whose equipment is comparable to that of the regular army.

aggressor? Maybe.

But who cares?

In order to prevent the advance of the Moro guerrillas, the 14th Division sent a large number of snipers to the urban area, and at the same time planted anti-personnel mines in some key positions.

This did cause a lot of trouble for the advancement of the 5th Division of the Moro Kingdom. After all, the Moro Kingdom lacked tanks and armored vehicles, and the composition of the troops was almost all riflemen and machine gunners. They only recently seized a batch of such precious things as sniper rifles from the 21st Division.

But it was not only guerrilla soldiers who died under landmines and sniper rifles, but more civilians who had no combat experience.

This is the blind spot of humanitarianism.

In order to deal with these troublesome snipers, the choice of the star ring trade is air strikes.

The stealthy and stealthy ghost agent aimed the laser locator at the target, and then the Aurora-2o shuttle machine gun passed by,

Sieve the sniper and the building where he squatted. To avoid civilian casualties. Jiang Chen ordered Jinli to avoid using aerial bombs in the urban area.

It's not because of kindness, but because it doesn't make a bad word about the Star Ring trade in the international community.

But even so, these snipers still delayed for two days.

But this situation will soon end.

The evening of December 31st.

The Star Ring Trade Operations Headquarters issued a general offensive command and launched an attack on Cagayan City on New Year's Eve. Annihilate the 14th modern division of the Philippine Army and the tank brigade who came to reinforce them, and strive to seize control of Cagayan City before 0:00 on January 2!

The attack was first started by the rocket launchers of the star ring trade.

The EMP rocket exploded over the western city of Cagayan City, completely destroying the electronic equipment of the 14th Division.

However, the 14th Division is the elite of the Philippine Army after all. As soon as the rocket launched into the sky, it launched a counter-attack on the artillery position of the star ring trade. Eight 155mm artillery pieces almost wiped out a hill, but they were blasted into scrap metal by the Aurora-2o missile before firing two shots.

In order to avoid the air strikes of the Star Ring Trade, the Philippine army racked their brains and came up with some ideas. For example, the infantry cannons were wrapped into seeds with gray cloth strips, the tanks were broken up and hidden in the building complex, and the soldiers of the Moro country guerrillas approached before attacking...

But when the emp rockets arrived on the battlefield, all these tricks lost their effect.

Without the observer's reporting point, the artillery can only rely on ranging smoke and intuition to fire.

The condition of the tank brigade is not bad. Thanks to those outdated weapons and equipment, the "scorpion" reconnaissance tank as the main force was originally a thing of the last era. Although it is not designed with anti-radiation and anti-emp functions like modern tanks, it still seems to be fine after being hit by emp. After all, apart from a communication device, there are no advanced electronic products that can be destroyed on this tank.

The 14th Division faced the same situation as the defeated 21st Division. All electronic equipment collapsed and the command system was completely paralyzed.

At the same time, flares rose into the sky, igniting the dark night sky southwest of the city. With the cooperation of the vehicle-mounted machine gun, the infantry of the 5th Division of Moro Kingdom with high morale began to attack, punching the elite of the 14th Division in the face like a straight punch.

the other side. The southeast side of the city is supported by the southwest side, but it is as dark as deathly silence.

500 members of the 6th Star Ring Navy team were airlifted by more than a dozen heavy transport planes, and landed on the edge of the zombie-occupied area.

Because of the injection of e-grade genetic medicine. These soldiers are already completely immune to the zombie virus, so even if they don't wear protective clothing, they don't need to worry about infection.

With the help of night vision goggles, these 500 soldiers and thousands of hummingbird drones were like sharp knives in the dark, stabbing fiercely into the hinterland of the 14th Division's defense area. Under the guidance of Sky Eye x1, clear out the artillery and emptying machine guns scattered throughout the city.

this night. The soldiers of the 14th Division deeply felt the fear of asymmetrical war.

The F-5a and Mustang attack aircraft on standby at the Manila Air Force Base refused to take off, and the Fa-5o fighter jets could not defeat the fighters. Everyone knew that this would be a death flight with no return.

Santos still has some regrets about this, but he has seen the terrifying harvesting ability of Aurora-2o. Except that the F35 and other fifth-generation aircraft on the Stennis aircraft carrier can pose a limited threat to it, even if there are more paper planes from the Philippines, they will still be crushed.

At 6 o'clock in the morning, before dawn, the battle in Cagayan City has basically ended.

The defeat of the 14th Division was a foregone conclusion. Both the tank brigade and the mechanized brigade surrendered to the Moro country. Only a dozen or so snipers in the urban area were still fighting.

Abandoning the 11th Infantry Brigade, which was resisting near the safe zone, Eli Bailey boarded a transport freighter docked in the port.

Because of the blockade of Cagayan City, these freighters were detained in the port and prohibited from going to sea until the end of the blockade order.

This order was signed by Aquino himself, but now that the flames of war were on the verge of his brows, Eli Bailey couldn't care less.

Leading more than 30 soldiers of the pro-guards and several trusted officers, they woke up the crew members who were detained in the port, and urged them to board the freighter and set sail.

The flames of the war quickly found the vicinity of the safe zone. Driving on the Bohol Sea, looking at the city of Cagayan that had turned into a black spot on the horizon, Eli Bailey breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the accountability from the presidential palace and the media might make it hard for him for the next six months, at least he didn't have to be a prisoner of the guerrillas, which still gave him some relief.

"How long will it take to get to Cebu?"

"There is still about an hour...Damn it, I understand why the 21st Division lost contact." Standing beside him, Sergeant Kaveler, who was still in shock, swallowed.

"That weird rocket."

Eli Bailey's face was full of haze.

The Philippine soldiers did not lose in tactics and will, but in weapon technology. However, the latter gap is the most powerless. The former can be resolved through training and ideological work, but the latter cannot be resolved in a short time.

Unless the United States takes the risk of angering China by deploying Patriot 3 air defense missiles in the Philippines and selling F35 fighter jets to the Philippines, they have no chance of winning at all.

But then again, even if the United States is willing to sell, they may not be able to afford the money to buy it. One F35 costs more than 100 million yuan, and the Philippines can buy two F35s with all its annual military expenditure. This is an economy supported by exporting bananas.

Just when Eli Bailey was thinking about how to deal with Aquino's reprimand, he didn't realize at all how conspicuous the ship he was on was under the overlooking of the Sky Eye x1 observation satellite. (To be continued.)
