Chapter 568: Defense of Holif Church
Just as the commandos jumped directly into the center of Holif city, the rest of the airborne troops had already begun to gather around Holif and launch an attack.
Perhaps the Papal States would never have dreamed that the Wehrmacht would actually send troops to secretly appear in their territory.
Isn't this a typical double standard? They only allow themselves to attack Lyongrad, but not the Wehrmacht...
And the most explosive thing is the large number of tanks and armored units carried by the airborne troops.
You know, the appearance of an elite force in one's own home is shocking enough, and the most deadly thing is that this force also carries a large number of armored units...
Isn't this like your back garden becoming a grassland for him to roam freely?
The Crusaders did not know that there were already 20,000 troops outside the city preparing to attack Horif.
They now focused all their attention on the church in the center.
Because just now, they learned that a force from Dayan had captured the church.
Although it is not known how they appeared in the city and took over the church.
But they only know that if the secret of this church is discovered, the entire city of Holif may end...
Not only will they have to face accusations from other countries, they may even have to face the thundering wrath of the Holy Empire and Great Yan.
Because as their own people, they certainly know how many people of the Holy Empire have been killed in the laboratory below...
So the church leaders immediately assembled all the defenders and tried to regain control of the church.
But the commandos are ready for anything...
The commando captain did not determine where the troops would be airdropped within a minute before the airstrike.
Until he saw this church.
The commando captain had no choice but to choose this church.
The commando captain's decisiveness laid the foundation for the Wehrmacht to take the initiative in the following battle.
Although this church is called a church, it is obvious that it does not have the architectural style of a church.
In other words, all the churches in the entire Papal States are built in a style different from that of ordinary churches.
The construction style gives people the appearance of a Western European fortress.
The entire church is a three-story building, and with the roof, it has four floors.
On the rooftop, 30 snipers from the commando team have already taken their positions.
There is also a machine gunner holding a PKM ready to go.
They looked at the approaching Crusaders without showing any fear of fighting on their faces.
Instead, I am full of fighting spirit.
The Crusader looked at the commandos who were already fully prepared, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.
The Wehrmacht would not do something meaningless. This unit must have raided Holif for some reason...
The church's top leaders' minds worked rapidly, and they recalled that a secret force had raided a laboratory in the Papal States a few days ago and obtained some evidence of the Papal States' crimes.
The top brass immediately came up with the answer in their minds, that is, this force, like the secret force, was here to collect evidence!
Thinking of this, the top management couldn't help but feel secretly delighted.
Because the army acted suddenly and broke into the unguarded laboratory in one fell swoop, they immediately chose to escape into the mountains after seizing the evidence.
This directly angered the Pope, and he ordered that anyone who could capture these soldiers would be promoted three levels.
So this is why these senior executives are secretly rejoicing.
The troops in front of us have obviously been surrounded. Isn't this like a goose with its feathers plucked, unable to fly away even with wings?
The church leaders had already started celebrating with champagne at halftime.
But the next scene clearly exceeded their expectations...
After knowing that the opponent was the Wehrmacht, the Crusaders immediately began to allocate tactics.
First, send out large shield soldiers to attract fire from the front. Then, release a large number of smoke bombs and send out small troops to infiltrate the church from all directions.
Finally, they gathered near the church and launched the general attack.
First of all, the tactics were good, but they picked the wrong opponent...
Their every move was clearly seen by the airborne troops.
After all, their superiors had told them countless times about this tactic of using smoke bombs to cover the attack.
After determining the Crusaders' intention to attack, the commandos immediately began to respond.
He simply tore up the magic storage scroll and took out the anti-tank gun inside the scroll.
Large shield soldiers attract firepower?
I’ll give it to you directly!
The young shield soldier didn't know what he was facing.
Led by the centurion, they formed a tortoise shell and moved forward slowly.
When bullets hit the shield, they only make noises and cannot harm the soldiers inside the shield formation.
When the church leaders saw this scene, they nodded with satisfaction, then picked up the coffee beside them and began to eat breakfast leisurely.
But before he could finish his meal, there was a loud bang, and the church leaders threw the coffee in their hands away.
"boom!"
A high-explosive bomb hit the advancing shield formation directly.
The originally indestructible shield formation was blown to pieces in an instant.
The church leaders were so scared that they threw their coffee away, and then looked at the people around them in horror.
The colleagues around him were also confused.
What the hell is this and why do they have a cannon?
The Crusaders team, marching in the smoke, accidentally saw the end of the shield formation.
My heart tightened involuntarily and I quickened my pace.
It's okay, we have the cover of smoke and will be able to get under the church soon and launch the attack!
They had just arrived at the near point and had not yet had time to get into the designated position.
Suddenly, there was a dense whistling sound in the air.
The airborne troops outside the city had assembled their artillery and began shelling the square around the church directly.
Provide cover for the commandos.
These crusaders who had just approached the church were still dreaming of being promoted three levels.
But before this beautiful dream was finished, it was blown to pieces by a shell...
The sudden artillery attack stunned everyone present.
A Crusader soldier ran over in a panic and reported to the senior officials present.
"Oh no! A large number of armored troops suddenly appeared outside the city! And they broke through the first line of defense! The city wall has been lost! The enemy has already entered the city!"
After hearing this, the church leaders closed their eyes, kicked their feet, and almost died...
What was going on? Why was the city of Horif surrounded by so many troops?
Since the church leaders had transferred most of the troops to the vicinity of the church, there were not many soldiers guarding the city walls.
The airborne troops used a portable missile to blow a large hole in the city wall, and the armored troops launched a surprise attack on the city of Horif through the hole unimpeded.
(Good afternoon, is there anything you want to see? (≧▽≦))
