Chapter 163 High-Altitude Entry Operation - D3
"What did you say? What do you mean the enemy troops descended from the sky? Do you think I'm an idiot? The Amelan West Aerospace Force's air battleships are still undergoing maintenance. This intelligence is accurate!"
"You mean airplanes? How many people can those little planes take off? I crammed an entire company of men into Syldavia!"
Alice's reckless behavior on the front lines was unexpected by everyone. After all, in the eyes of others, who at her level would risk going to the battlefield to directly command operations?
But in Alice's view, participating in the battles was the best way to solve the problem. Moreover, given the current intensity, these battles were more like a place to experiment with and reform tactics.
After the 45th Special Operations Brigade consolidated its position, the enemy forces surrounded in Trnava were only three kilometers away from Sildavia. The enemy had artillery and other support weapons, while Alice's side only had 81mm mortars, but their call for air support was prioritized to the highest level.
Meanwhile, Alice was leading her squad through the mountains. Alice was wearing a cloak, holding an N4, and followed by paratroopers.
The squad consists of six people, three of whom carry FAL parachutes, one carries a Carcano sniper rifle, and two carry M3A1 silenced submachine guns.
"This is Golden Eagle, top prize! Enemy artillery troop relocation detected!"
Alice nodded. Below the ridge, enemy cavalry were moving their artillery. Alice turned her head and saw something creeping towards her along the ridgeline. She raised her rifle; the magazine was full of subsonic .300 BLK rounds.
Several figures appeared faintly on the ridgeline. The sun had long since set, and the two moons shone brightly in the sky. Alice switched the speedometer to automatic mode.
"Don't fire, wait until they're all exposed."
Alice pressed down on the team members behind her. She half-crouched and leaned her rifle against the rock. The N4, with its 10.5-inch barrel, was not a professional sniper platform, but Blood Magic's stainless steel barrel and suppressor, crafted with modern industrial precision, along with the 3x G33 scope, allowed it to still function as a marksman.
Alice patiently waited for the approaching squad to be fully exposed. When the last soldier came out carrying a torch, Alice placed her index finger on the trigger and pressed it slightly.
"Fire."
Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
Under the cover of darkness, .45 and .300BLK subsonic rounds rained down on the squad. The wind carried away the muzzle-damped gunfire, and with it, their lives.
"Clean up!"
"Ceasefire."
"This is Golden Eagle. We've taken out an enemy infiltration squad."
Alice turned her gaze down the mountain. The entire convoy was accompanied by about 1000 soldiers, a number far too many for a reconnaissance squad.
But Alice has more than just these few people behind her.
"Calling Eagle's Nest, this is Golden Eagle, bearing 240-100, enemy artillery transport convoy spotted, approximately 1,000 men, requesting air support, over."
Alice picked up the radio, and the command center of the call sign Eagle's Nest immediately responded to her. After all, Alice was there, and she had priority for air support.
"Received, Golden Eagle. This is Eagle's Nest. MA-08 attack helicopters with call signs Tango Fox and Tango Wolf are en route to the scene. Channel 108.2. Command key: Nova!"
"Received, Eagle's Nest. Thank you for your support. Transferring you."
Alice turned the channel button, and in the distance, at a field airfield, two armed helicopters were taking off with the roar of their anti-gravity engines.
Ground crew waved glow sticks. Eagle's Nest, which is the runway of Brady City Field Airport, has two rows of airport side lights. Two armed helicopters are taking off by taxiing, which can greatly save the amount of No. 10 solid magic crystal power blocks they carry.
"War has changed too quickly... Ten years ago, we were still using bows and arrows..."
"Yes, who could have imagined ten years ago that the weapons we have would have been upgraded several times over?"
Alice listened to the team members' discussion. The team followed the transport team below, maintaining visibility along the ridgeline. Alice reassembled the staff and hung N4 on her chest with a single-point strap.
Lasers are still unimaginable in this era. Although ruby lasers have been used in laboratory conditions, their high price means they are still far from large-scale practical application, while helium-neon lasers are still under research.
But magic still has its uses. In this world, in addition to metal, wood, water, fire, earth, ice, and lightning, there are also light energy and holy energy.
Within the light energy system, there is a spell that is considered useless by other magicians, but is quite useful to Alice's modern civilization.
"Tango Fox is calling Golden Eagle. We have arrived at the scene. Please indicate the attack target!"
A faint whistling sound of anti-gravity engines came from the sky. Alice waved her staff, aiming it at the convoy below.
"Invisible infrara lasera komenco."
Alice activated her staff, but to the naked eye, nothing happened. The team members were curious to see what powerful forbidden spell Alice could unleash, but the staff only glowed slightly, and no terrifying fire dragon or hailstones descended.
"Huh? What is Miss President doing?"
But the Tango Fox, far in the air, immediately pulled down its passive infrared optical sight, activated the infrared searchlight under its fuselage, and spotted the beam of light and the enemy below.
Alice waved her staff, the beam of light flickering among the enemy ranks. Tango Fox immediately reported, "Understood, target locked."
57mm rockets were immediately launched from the rocket pods, and two armed helicopters, one in front of the other, hovered above the artillery, using the 20mm cannons carried on both sides of their fuselages to harvest lives among the crowd.
Alice twirled her staff, pointing out targets amidst the scattering crowd. The paratroopers were astonished; magic in Alice's hands had taken on a completely different form!
The wind billowed Alice's cloak. The black witch, with a modern rifle hanging from her chest and her staff emitting infrared beams, stood high on the ridge, coldly directing two armed helicopters to attack their targets.
In the end, only twisted steel and fire remained. The raging fire in the valley turned the entire valley into a scorching wasteland like a raging wind, while Alice still stood on the ridge, searching for the dead with her N4 rifle.
