Chapter 155: Chapter 53 Aren’t they done yet?

Harassment, advance, deploy aerial bombs, construct fortifications.

Under He Shuo’s cover, Chen Jian and the others’ plan went quite smoothly.

Before it was even 12 o’clock, they had completed all preparations, while at the same time, drone reconnaissance from the rear showed that the City Defense Army within Anqing City had also completed their assembly.

They were poised to strike, perhaps waiting for a better opportunity, or maybe simply observing.

But Chen Jian knew it was time to give them one last push.

Without any extra consideration, he immediately issued the order to attack.

This time, their goal was to take advantage of the cover of night to lure a large number of Terror Demons into the trap and, upon retreating, to detonate the aerial bombs to create a massive "flare" in the pitch-black night.

Impatient already, Li Shi immediately pulled the trigger, and as the tracer rounds pierced the darkness, the horn of the Huaxia Army’s attack was sounded.

Gunshots and explosions rang out one after another, waking the sleeping Terror Demons.

They frantically searched for the source of the gunfire, soon realizing that these dense gunshots seemed to originate from the enemies they faced last time!

Hatred ignited, and their bloodlust boiled over.

Under the Leader’s direction, countless Terror Demons began moving towards the source of the gunfire.

Chen Jian commanded the squad to systematically eliminate the approaching Terror Demons but no longer wasted even a single bullet or shell on enemies outside their line of sight.

Because the purpose of this operation was not "destruction."

Such a tactical choice was undoubtedly based on losing the ability to suppress the Terror Demons. Within a few minutes, from the drone’s perspective, a large number of Terror Demons had begun to assemble towards their position.

The largest group was no more than 500 meters away, just a charge away from reaching Chen Jian and the others.

But the good news is, this time, those Terror Demon Leaders were quite cautious.

They no longer charged recklessly to their deaths but allowed their subordinates to fill the frontlines with their bodies.

Clearly, their tactics were evolving.

And this evolution could not be separated from the commanding by Huadu in the background.

Seeing the Terror Demon forces drawing closer and closer, Chen Jian’s brows furrowed and then gradually relaxed.

He swapped out the magazine in his 191, then called over the radio:

"He Shuo, Xie Liu, how much longer do you need?"

A moment later, He Shuo’s voice came through the radio.

"We’ll reach the designated extraction point within 3 minutes, and the retreat channel will be open in about four minutes!"

"Understood!"

Chen Jian took a deep breath and then ordered Zeng Yi:

"The Terror Demons are advancing too fast, fire an automatic grenade round to slow them down!"

"Understood!"

Zeng Yi responded immediately, and then the automatic grenade launcher spewed flames, accurately delivering dozens of grenades into the midst of the swarm of Terror Demons.

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom, boom, boom!"

Explosions rang out, but this time they did not achieve the exaggerated results of last time.

Although the Terror Demons gathered in a unified area to advance, they maintained relatively sparse spacing among them.

The bombardment did slow them down, but it did not cause much damage.

Their tactical evolution was rapid, and even their command efficiency was improving!

These creatures truly cannot be allowed to remain, not to mention Huadu’s insane research. If they fought a few more battles, they might genuinely break beyond the bounds of a "mob!"

Upon seeing the Terror Demon teams advancing within 300 meters, and those dormant Leaders finally revealing themselves.

They even learned to cover their thermal signals with branches and mud!

Chen Jian’s heart rang with alarm; if those Leaders launched an attack before the other Terror Demons at this critical juncture, it would become quite difficult to ensure the bait performed its desired function.

After a brief contemplation, Chen Jian quickly made a decision.

"Concentrate fire and take down a Leader! Make them retreat!"

"Understood!"

Everyone immediately redirected their guns. When the creature covered entirely in mud charged to within 200 meters, the 301 heavy machine gun in Li Shi’s hands had it completely locked on.

The next second, two darts-like missiles flew out, followed by an extremely precise recoilless cannon shot from Lei Jie.

"Boom!"

The siege shell exploded inside the creature, turning its careful disguise into a mockery.

The shock wave hurled its flesh and blood dozens of meters into the air, then it fell like a bloody rain.

This horrifying sight scared off the other Leaders who intended to imitate its attack, while the ordinary Terror Demons still relentlessly charged toward Chen Jian and the others’ position.

Within a hundred meters, Chen Jian finally received He Shuo’s report.

"The retreat channel is open; we can withdraw!"

"Understood!"

Chen Jian decisively ordered Lei Jie:

"Activate the automatic weapon station, lay down delayed explosive traps, let’s move!"

"Understood!"

Lei Jie quickly switched on the weapon station; this device could barely function as a weapon station should with insufficient power, in essence, Lei Jie only restored its automatic trigger function.

It could fire at regular intervals but not target enemies.

But that was sufficient.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang----"

Bullets fired irregularly from the stack-constructed fortification towards the front, and numerous hand grenades were also set up nearby.

Everything was ready; without a moment’s pause, the six-member team turned and withdrew.

Zeng Yi and Ji Xing were quick enough not to need the cat car.

The others crowded into the same cat car with the lights off, racing towards He Shuo’s designated extraction point.

Behind them, plenty of Terror Demons had been attracted by the still-firing fortification.

As they approached, accompanied by grenade explosions, they became even more convinced that the foes causing them great trouble hadn’t left yet.

But such tricks wouldn’t fool them for long.

minute, maybe 30 seconds?

But that was enough.

seconds later, the six-member team retreated to the extraction point 300 meters from the fortification.

Zeng Yi and Ji Xing jumped onto the cat car driven by He Shuo, Chen Jian turned to Lei Jie and nodded lightly.

The next moment.

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom, boom!"

"Boom!"

A majestic, fierce, and unparalleled explosion resounded.

The first to explode were the three 50-kilogram aerial bombs, followed by the 250-3 aerial bomb.

The meticulously arranged blast points enveloped the entire area within a 150-meter radius, and the sweeping shock wave expanded to nearly 300 meters beyond!

The powerful overpressure shredded the Terror Demons within the blast range into dust, and even the more distant Leaders were toppled by the ferocious gales!

But that wasn’t the end.

The final Cluster-4 bomb went off, scattering a multitude of small bombs, propelled by the blast wave, irregularly falling everywhere.

As they landed again, they delivered another wave of destruction.

The massive explosion’s fire and smoke rose within the Anqing Ruins.

And far outside Anqing City, the City Defense Army also witnessed this explosion firsthand.....
