Other than the 166 assault helicopters, on the ground, there were another 140-odd machine gun-mounted vehicles as well as rocket launchers. The anti-air missile launchers also moved out, firing out madly at the Sky Fortress in the air.
When the assault helicopters flew, their weapons fired off as well, aiming right for the fortress in the air.
At that instant, the Sky Fortress also fired out with countless guided missiles, every single round of theirs hitting the projectiles fired at them, causing them to explode.
However, the bullets and some cannons managed to get past, which slammed into the Sky Fortress, causing parts of the hull to fall off. Many cannons were also damaged, their alloy parts breaking off.
The captain of the Sky Fortress, Chen Yan, let out an excited roar, "Damn bastards, go to hell!! Attack!!"
The massive Sky Fortress had suffered a round of attacks, when the automatic weapons began to deploy under the control of Bai Yi, firing at the enemies in the air.
Hong! Hong! Hong!
Enveloped by the countless projectiles, the assault helicopters were punctured full of holes, exploding in powerful fireworks, before descending towards the ground in balls of flame.
The Sky Fortress was a technologically advanced weapon, way ahead of current technology. Combined with the capabilities of Bai Yi, it was practically invincible in its ability to cause damage.
At the same time, a number of laser guns deployed out and beams shot out like knives.
The white laser beams found their targets below accurately, slicing through the various guided missile launchers, causing them to burst into flames.
Another volley of anti-air rockets also shot out from the Sky Fortress, targeting those assault helicopters still left over.
Other than those pilots who managed to evade those missiles with their superb piloting skills, the remaining ones were all shot down, exploding in a magnificent display of fireworks.
In the sky, the various assault helicopters exploded one after another, falling down like rain, before crashing into the ground.
Seeing such a devastating scene, the Russian soldiers watched with pale expressions, their eyes filled with despair.
Once the air was controlled by the Chinese forces, it would spell the end for the Russian forces.
Gief ordered out with an ugly countenance, "Retreat!! Retreat immediately!!"
As his order passed, those armored vehicles that had yet to enter the fray quickly fell back.
Meanwhile, the foot troops that entered Hu Hot City also tried frantically to retreat.
Hong! Hong! Hong!
Right at this time, the Chinese artillery hiding within cover began their counterattack, firing their heavy cannons at the retreating Russian soldiers, cutting off their retreat, and blowing a huge number of them into pieces.
The various tanks were also either destroyed or partially torn apart under the rain of armageddon.
The Chinese soldiers that had not made their move also poured out like a flood, wielding advanced laser weapons as they fired at the Russian forces. The laser beams tore through the armored vehicles, IFVs, destroying them as well as the soldiers within.
When the Russian soldiers received the order to retreat, many lost their combat will, trying to flee. Thus, no one thought to fight back, as they were hunted down by the Chinese forces.
As the main Russian forces were retreating, the Sky Fortress opened up their flaps, releasing assault helicopters that flew down and chased after them.
The normal assault helicopters might not be able to compare to the Thunder Fighters in terms of flight capabilities and firepower, but could still deal damage in the chase.
The 24 of them chased after the retreating Russian forces, their machine guns roared out mercilessly, pumping holes into the various armored vehicles below. Their bullets also tore through the Russian soldiers, raining hell upon them.
The anti-air forces of the Russian side had been annihilated by Bai Yi at the first instance, thus, all that remained could only attempt using their machine guns to fire at the Sky Fortress and assault helicopters in weak attempts.
However, no matter how hard they tried, they were culled like weeds being mowed down, dying miserably.
In the air, the thrusters of the Sky Fortress roared to live, pushing its speed to fly above the retreating Russian forces.
Machine guns and other weapons then extended out of flaps, releasing another bout of bullets down below, causing more carnage. The dying screams of the Russian soldiers rang throughout the battlefield.
Gief watched in horror as his subordinates were culled down, his eyes turning red in grief as he roared out in fury, "Retreat in any manner you can!! Disperse!! Damn Germans!! They lied!! They lied to us those damn bastards!!"
The Kingdom of God had pushed for the newly established Russian Empire to attack China, not only providing resources but valuable intelligence as well. However, inside the reports they gave, there was no indication of the presence of this terrifying Sky Fortress.
Had the Russian Empire known about the Sky Fortress that could rival a Type 5 Mutant Beast in destruction, they would have made more preparations. At the very least, they would not be beaten back so pitifully, nor throw their forces in such an attempt.
Under Gief's orders, the soldiers separated into two forces, trying their best to break out of the nightmare.
At this time, on the vast plains, a force of 3,000 riders on Black Stallions and equipped with laser guns came chasing over. It was the 1st Regiment 3rd Brigade, meant to cut off the retreat of the Russian forces.
The Sky Fortress continued to fire out laser beams, tearing through the tanks of the Russian forces, turning them into a heap of useless metal.
One intelligence officer turned to Gief in anxiety, "General, what do we do now?"
Currently, the Russian forces were being cut down incessantly. At every second, there would be tanks destroyed as well as soldiers being killed. The entire Russian force was on the brink of annihilation, and they required Gief to make a decision.
Gief ordered through gritted teeth, "Surrender."
Receiving Gief's orders, white flags were raised in the air.
All the Russian soldiers heaved a sigh of relief, as they laid their weapons in trepidation, their hands hugging their heads and kneeled.
Within the Sky Fortress, Chen Yan saw the Russian soldiers surrender, and he heaved a sigh of relief as well, celebrating inwardly, "These bunch of Russians finally surrendered."
They were generally considered to be tough opponents due to their tenacious nature.
Before the apocalypse, their technology was way ahead of China. After the apocalypse, a leader came out much later than Yue Zhong. They had not obtained any advanced technology. At the same time, they were suppressed by the super intelligent evolved zombies within the country, unable to expand. In terms of strength, they were definitely not a match for China. Furthermore, they had sent out a desperate expeditionary force, while fighting on China's land. The terrain advantage was not on their side, thus, they had lost badly.
Within the command center in Hu Hot City, Ji Qing Wu relaxed after seeing the Russian forces surrender. However, her pretty brows furrowed once again, "The Russians were easy to deal with, but I wonder about the other areas?"
In order to deal with Russia, Yue Zhong had sent out one of his trump cards, the Sky Fortress, as well as 10 assault helicopters. The other battlefields did not have the luxury of the Sky Fortress, thus, Ji Qing Wu was extremely worried about the other battlefields.
At the Vietnam battlefield.
In front of Thai Nguyen, Yao Li Hua, the leader of the VPDC, was trying to motivate his subordinates, "Kill!! Kill them all!! Kill those who dare invade us!! We must gain back our countries!! For our country, our people, our future, we must definitely win this fight!!"
"Exterminate them!!"
"Annihilate the invaders!!"
"..."
Under Yao Li Hua's words, the VPDC forces were all pumped up, and let out excited roars.
Initially, the VPDC had lacked clothes and rations, their considerably lesser numbers were supported by the Kingdom of God, and every one of them was wielding rifles, with resolute gazes in their eyes.
The VPDC managed to gain the support of the Kingdom of God and conquered a few cities of Vietnam. Thus, they rescued many survivors as well. Their numbers currently numbered about 300,000, while their soldiers were about 40,000. It was with such numbers that Yao Li Hua finally had the guts to challenge Yue Zhong.
"Attack!! Destroy these damn invaders."
With his speech, 4 infantry battalions that had undergone training from the Kingdom of God started to charge towards Thai Nguyen.
Soon, the 4 infantry battalions came to clashes with the Chinese soldiers stationed within.
