Chapter 238: The Southern Alliance's Thousand-Man Army is Destroyed
"Hurry up!"
A number of Hind general-purpose helicopters and Nighthawk medium-sized transport helicopters hovered above the ground, and soldiers carrying rifles and machine guns jumped down one after another.
There was also a Nighthawk medium transport helicopter carrying an M101 105mm howitzer, which simply dropped the cable and the gun stayed steadily on the ground.
Artillerymen rushed forward one by one, removing the cables, switching to firing mode, moving ammunition boxes, etc.
In the sky, double-bladed armed helicopters roared past overhead, and the rocket launchers under their wings revealed pointed rocket warheads.
From a distance, the dense swarm of helicopters almost covered the flat land in this area.
The entire area was filled with the roar of helicopter engines and the whistling of propellers tearing through the air.
In the area next to it, transport planes flew across the sky at a low altitude of three or four hundred meters, and parachutes bloomed in the air.
In a moment, dense umbrellas floated in the sky.
The airdrops of the 42nd Air Assault Division and the parachute drops of the 20th and 21st Airborne Divisions took place almost simultaneously.
According to weather radar detection, heavy rain may fall around the saddle in a few hours, accompanied by thunder and lightning.
Therefore, the parachute operation had to be brought forward.
The Ma'an defenders were completely unprepared. They only discovered the presence of the Fusion Army when the artillery shells of the 42nd Airborne Division hit their camp.
Although there was a well-equipped reorganized division stationed in Ma'an City, it was still thrown into chaos when faced with the sudden attack.
The double-blade attack helicopter flew in from a low altitude. When it approached the camp, rockets came whizzing in like a meteor shower, setting off bursts of explosions.
"Da da da......"
Intensive gunfire was also heard outside the city. Under the cover of artillery fire, the infantry group of the 42nd Airborne Division launched an offensive against the Ma'an City defenders' camp.
Under the fierce firepower attack of AK-47 assault rifles and Type 33 general-purpose machine guns, the defenders were almost defeated.
As for their machine gun positions, once exposed, they would become targets of double-edged attack helicopters.
What's more, the Renaissance Army is now equipped with RPG-2 anti-tank rockets on a large scale, which are also the nemesis of machine guns and most fortifications.
"Retreat....Retreat! Retreat!"
The defenders were defeated under the ground offensive of the 42nd Airborne Assault Division of the Fuxing Army. After seeing the situation, the division commander directly ordered the retreat from Ma'an City.
When the order to retreat was given, it immediately turned into a rout.
At this time, a number of airborne infantry fighting vehicles appeared on the battlefield.
Under their pursuit, the reorganized division was directly dispersed.
The Second Air Assault Group of the Renaissance Army successfully completed the first phase of its combat objectives - occupying Ma'an City.
Their next goal was to launch an attack on Jinling as quickly as possible.
At the same time, a field military airport suitable for take-off and landing of C-130 tactical transport aircraft was urgently built in Ma'an City.
The initial logistical supplies mainly relied on C-130 tactical transport aircraft for transportation.
The news that Ma'an was occupied by the Fuxing Army directly caused a greater shock in Jinling.
This time Wu Zhichang was really panicked.
Ma'an is adjacent to Jinling, only about 50 kilometers away, which is really too close.
Moreover, there were almost no strategic locations to defend on the road from Ma'an to Jinling, and the gates of Jinling were directly open to the Fuxing Army.
It caught them off guard.
"Hurry up and prepare the transport plane. We'll fly to Guangzhou tonight!"
For a time, the whole of Jinling was in chaos.
However, this chaos only affects the high-ranking officials and nobles in Jinling.
Many people were not prepared to retreat, and the Fuxing Army had already reached the city of Nanjing. How could they not be in chaos?
For a time, the entire Jinling and the surrounding Southern Alliance forces were in chaos.
The Fuxing Army attacked with one move after another, which completely stunned them.
Especially when the fighter planes of the Fuxing Army appeared over Nanjing, the chaos was exacerbated.
The anti-aircraft guns in the city fired directly into the air before the Renaissance Army's fighter planes flew over, trying to intimidate the Renaissance Army's fighter planes in this way.
"Jinling is in chaos."
In the evening, the latest news reached Jiang Hua.
The fact that the war went so smoothly was somewhat beyond Jiang Hua's expectations.
The further the battle went on, the more vulnerable the Yugoslav Allied forces felt, and many of their troops basically collapsed at the first touch.
It seems that anyone with a discerning eye can see that the SAARC ship is about to sink, and no one wants to be buried with it.
And it was not only the high-ranking officials and nobles in Nanjing who fled, but many foreigners also packed up their things and ran away.
There are more than ten warships from various countries stationed in Nanjing alone.
Although there is no concession in Jinling, it is the core of the entire Changhe Economic Belt, so there are many foreign institutions here.
And many of them are doing some shameful things.
They all know that the Renaissance Army will not tolerate any sand in its eyes.
If you don't run away now that you're being attacked, you won't be able to escape later and you'll be in big trouble.
In less than half a day, dozens or even hundreds of warships and merchant ships from various countries appeared on the river.
If this is the case in Jinling City, one can imagine the situation of the surrounding troops.
They didn't even know where to go or what to do, and the situation became a complete mess.
At night, war broke out in Jinling City, and gunshots rang out one after another outside the city.
The soldiers of the South Asian Alliance are blocking the offensive of the 42nd Airborne Division, 20th and 21st Airborne Divisions on the periphery.
The high-ranking officials in the city were preparing to flee.
After nightfall, transport planes took off from the airport one after another and flew towards the south.
However, they did not know that the Fuxing Army Air Force had already deployed airborne early warning aircraft and a whole squadron of F-86K Sabre fighter jets over Nanjing.
The F-86K Sabre fighter is equipped with an APG-37 radar and has the ability to operate in all weather conditions.
Therefore, these fighter jets are responsible for intercepting the SAARC transport planes that are preparing to flee.
However, President Wu Zhichang was not among these transport planes.
At this moment, he has disguised himself as a businessman and is on a John warship on the Changhe River.
The strength of the Fuxing Army's air force cast a shadow on him, so he always felt that it was unsafe to evacuate Nanjing by plane.
So he chose to disguise himself and evacuate on John's warship.
Also on board this warship was Consul General John.
These planes were intercepted as expected, and no one was willing to gamble whether the Restoration Army's fighter planes could hit them in the dark.
All these transport planes were guided to the military airport in Hangzhou.
There are as many as 37 of them, including more than ten of the United States' most advanced Boeing 247 passenger aircraft.
Most of the high-ranking officials and nobles in Nanjing were wiped out by the Air Force.
However, there is still one important person who has not been caught, and that is naturally the SAARC President Wu Zhichang.
As for the other two giants, Lu Jianzhang and Gu Ziqi, they have been arrested and detained at the airport.
All merchant ships evacuating from the Changhe River were inspected by the Restoration Army Navy, and many of them were caught.
There was no search on the warship.
After all, the Renaissance Army has not yet openly broken off relations with these powers. If they forcibly search the warships, it will cause a serious diplomatic incident.
Although the Restoration Army is very strong, the great powers are still the makers of the world's rules and this situation cannot be changed in a short period of time.
On May 5, Nanjing was successfully captured by the 7th, 20st and 21nd Divisions after an overnight attack. The flags of the Fuxing Army were raised on the city walls of Nanjing and in the Presidential Palace.
When the flag of the Renaissance Army is raised in Jinling City, it also means that the Southern Alliance will soon become history.
On May 5, most of the troops around Nanjing chose to surrender, while some people hid in Huangshan and were unwilling to surrender.
On May 5, after two days of fierce fighting, more than 9 troops from Gusu and Jiangyin began to surrender in an organized manner.
On the same day, more than 200,000 defenders on the Changhe defense line between Jinling and Jiangcheng also chose to surrender.
Since then, all the Southern Alliance forces on the Changhe defense line have surrendered to the Renaissance Army and successfully occupied the Changhe line.
Now only the Luyang defenders are left, fighting desperately like trapped beasts.
There are more than 400,000 troops in this area.
The person in charge of commanding these more than 40 troops was Wei Haoyang, one of the senior generals of the Southern Alliance.
"Nanjing has fallen, the president is missing, Lu Jianzhang and Gu Ziqi have been arrested... hehe."
In the command center, General Wei Haoyang of the Southern Alliance Army smiled bitterly, his eyes filled with confusion about the future.
"Commander, what should we do?"
It was not only Wei Haoyang who was confused and hesitant, but also the middle-level officers and low-level soldiers.
"What else can we do? We can't even find anyone willing to fight for our lives, and Jinling has been wiped out!
Surrender now!"
Wei Haoyang sighed deeply, and in an instant he felt as if all his energy had been drained away.
On May 5, Wei Haoyang led an army of more than 12 to surrender to the Fuxing Army.
He was also the highest-ranking general who surrendered to the Fuxing Army, and he led an army of more than 400,000 to surrender in one breath, saving Luyang, Shouchun and Fengyang from the war.
Since then, the Fuxing Army has successfully recovered the three southwestern provinces and all the southern provinces of the two ridges.
With the millions of troops of the Southern Alliance destroyed, the unification of the world is not far away!
On May 5, a telegram was sent from Yangcheng.
The person who sent this telegram was Wu Zhichang, who escaped on the John warship.
And established a new SAARC government in Guangzhou.
At this time, SAARC had completely become a puppet of the great powers.
"Do they really think they can stop our advance just by relying on the terrain of the two ridges?"
Looking at the power sent by Wu Zhichang, Jiang Hua smiled coldly.
The Central Plains Military Region has assembled three armies, and the navy has also come out in full force, with a strength of over one million.
Jiang Hua wanted to see how long this defeated army could hold out.
