Chương 123: Ch 121. Burning meat

For the next week the city was under constant surveillance. The GRU hunted small groups, and trained mortars on the larger groups.

Steadily we were draining the enemy of their forces, while the allied forces were gathering for the decisive assault.

One night, the trigger was pulled.

“Shooting!” (J)

BOOM

Tracers of machine gun fire lit the gatehouse. Mortars and grenade launchers opened fire at the other assault areas.

Together with the infantry charge, the tank started slowly rolling towards the gatehouse.

“The entrance is open.” Rapier squad reported cleaning up all enemies that could result in damaging the tank.

“Take aim.”

“Understood.” (J)

“Fire.”

“Shooting!” (J)

BOOM

The HE shell connected with the gates, tearing apart the wood, and opening the way for the tank.

“Faster.” The tank approached the gatehouse at 20 km/h, and drove into the city, unstopped by anyone.

---

The city was already lit with torches moving everywhere. Enemy soldiers and the resistance were clashing all over the capital. Guerilla troops armed with makeshift weapons were taking down the trained enemy troops by overwhelming them.

The resolute execution of the plan resulted in success on our front.

WOOOOO

And as a horn rumbled from the other side of the city, it confirmed the success at one of the directions of the allies.

“Looks like they are done.” Old man chuckled.

“We better not be celebrating too early. To the Old City.”

The fight in the city was already a chaotic mess of civilians, guerillas, and the enemy troops running around and clashing between each other. However, our crew had a more important thing to do than shooting the small fish in a glass.

Utilizing the tank’s speed we ventured towards the Old City, the inner walls of the capital, and it’s citadel where the leftover defenders were retreating.

On our way to the inner walls of the capital we encountered a large group of infantry. Those were the retreating enemy soldiers, moving en masse to avoid the daredevil resistance cells from trying to attack.

Their spears, shields, and swords protected them from the guerilla. Ah, if only they didn’t walk to where the main battle tank is heading.

“HE.”

‘Whoo-ch-whoo’

“Fire.”

“Shooting!” (J)

BOOM

The shell exploded in the middle of the herd, killing and injuring dozens of the enemy soldiers. The shot was followed by the Kord bursts.

The already dismoralled troops were terrified and started running like sheep, all towards the Old City.

Bu-bu-bu-bum

As soon as the gun was reloaded and returned to the firing position, the PKMT opened fire too.

Tra-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta

“Right, 60. Step on their heels, Old man! Just don’t run them over.

...

Seize fire, I don’t want to roll over the injured. ‘It’d be such a pain to clean everything afterwards…’

As the horrified troops continued their desperate running and arrived to the Old City, their situation turned even more desperate.

“Look! They are closing the gates on them!” Jester exclaimed.

“Shut up and focus. Fire at the walls.” The gun started rising, but came to a stop.

“No can do. The elevation is not enough.” (J)

“Got it. Then let us help those guys. Fire at the gate.”

“Shooting!” (J)

BOOM

The gates were blasted open, and the frenzied herd of soldiers poured in, ignoring the way the gates were opened, or the tank being able to get through after them.

But the same horrified soldiers on the wall understood that for some reason the tank didn’t fire at the infantry below, and that it was invincible for their arrows and small catapults.

“The hell…?”

“AAAAAAARGH!!!” Heart-rendering screams resounded, when the people at the gatehouse started pouring boiling oil on their comrades’ heads, desperately trying to stop anybody from entering.

“YAAARGH!!!” Even though they saw what was going on, the soldiers continued pushing through, towards the safety behind the wall. Some were making it through in between new vats of oil being brought in.

“Stop.”

The tank stopped, 30 meters away from the gatehouse.

“Those guys are crazy…”

“I’m so glad I always can turn off the night vision…” (J)

“Same here…”

“At least we don’t catch the smell of it…” (O)

“A very good point…”

With the way closed, we waited under the wall until the morning. All optics were covered to stop seeing the outside.
