Chapter 473 - 466: No Words to Say
It always takes a while to cover a few hundred meters, and Satan had chosen a rather distant point for the assault.
The assault team moved quickly, but the volunteer and technical groups could not move at the same pace, causing the distance between the two to grow.
A ring of small defensive positions had been set up around the entire airport. Satan had already eliminated three of them, but the remaining positions were unaffected and still posed a significant threat to the assaulting Satan with some of their weapons.
The Anti-Aircraft Gun and mortars were the primary threats. As for the rifles, they couldn’t reach due to distance, and while the high-caliber machine guns also posed a threat, it was much less compared to the Anti-Aircraft Gun and mortars.
To neutralize the enemy’s distant fire points would waste time, but leaving them unaddressed meant having to cross the enemy’s fire blockade zone at the greatest speed and enter the airport’s waiting hall to engage in indoor combat with the enemies inside.
The three positions that had been taken were about a kilometer from the airport waiting hall. As Satan’s men approached this location, they would face attacks from enemies stationed inside the airport.
The situation was like this: the enemy had built a fence around the airport, and Satan had cut a large hole in it, charging through the gap. But this did not mean the enemy’s entire fence had collapsed.
The area around the airport was a desolate wilderness, cleared of even tall trees and bushes. This left Satan’s men with no cover as they advanced across the open ground, presenting a very unfavorable situation.
The Satan assault team stopped a thousand meters from the airport waiting hall, as this position was an enemy stronghold tended by several snipers in rotation.
The enemy’s position was built from sandbags with a sunshade on top, but it provided no protective effect, and the shade was nothing more than a sun net. Heavy machine gun positions, Anti-Aircraft Gun positions, and mortar positions composed a set of five small circular sandbag defensive posts as a complete defense system.
