Chapter 1671: Booming Cannon Fire
To the east of the abandoned city, at the artillery position of the X Legion, various cannons were deployed. After launching thousands of shells, they finally rested.
Through binoculars and unmanned reconnaissance, the command saw the scene—almost the entire abandoned city was destroyed, turned into ruins, and the Resistance Army Headquarters was thus annihilated.
This time, the X Legion not only used ground artillery fire but also airstrikes, bombarding for a long time, it felt as if even the earth was trembling.
Someone suggested, why did they go to such lengths to use so much artillery for a massive random bombardment? Couldn’t they use drones with night vision to pinpoint the precise locations of the Resistance fighters, then have artillery lock onto those positions?
The command explained that the abandoned city, though neither too large nor too small, had the Resistance troops acting in a scattered manner, so using drones to find each Resistance fighter would be time-consuming and laborious. Instead, a comprehensive artillery cover was simpler.
After the bombing, it was believed that most of the Resistance had been killed or injured. At that point, drones could be dispatched, utilizing their reconnaissance capabilities to locate the remaining Resistance fighters, and then send the positions to the X Legion. The X Legion would then either provide blanket fire coverage or send people in to eliminate them.
As dawn gradually broke, after a night of bombardment, countless plumes of smoke could be seen thick in the air. More astonishingly, the X Legion’s forces covered all four directions of the abandoned city.
Countless enemies, countless armored vehicles, countless tanks and artillery, and in the sky, countless helicopters and drones circled. It seemed the X Legion had truly mobilized on a large scale to eliminate the Resistance.
At this moment, Gu Fan shot up into the sky, becoming very conspicuous, attracting the attention of many helicopters.
