Get away from here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Jiang Jiang Enbiao grabbed his companion and dragged him toward the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At this moment, the bombing was drawing ever closer to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, just after the two of them had moved a short distance from the troop transport, a missile struck the vehicle directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the entire troop transport was blown sky-high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The terrifying heatwave sent Jiang Jiang Enbiao and the nearby Rodian soldiers flying, slamming them to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, although Jiang Jiang Enbiao and Shen Rirong were both lucky enough to escape unharmed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the blast's shockwave left them dizzy, their ears ringing severely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, this was no time to stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the entire force, including the British and Kangaroo Nation soldiers ahead, had been stunned by the sudden bombardment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>leaving the whole unit utterly disoriented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many British soldiers displayed lamentable quality; after the bombing, they failed to organize, trembling in fear one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without even spotting any enemy, they fired their weapons wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some even screamed \"Mama!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But such behavior was understandable; since World War II, John Bull had been in constant decline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The loss of its vast overseas colonies had reduced John Bull to a thoroughgoing island nation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Resources were scarce, and the economy was in recession.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One could say the lingering glow of the empire on which the sun never set had long vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no other choice, John Bull could only become Ugly Nation's loyal lackey,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>basically doing whatever Ugly Nation ordered without any opposition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last time British soldiers engaged in a truly independent operation was during the Madao War of '82.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the decades since, British soldiers had rarely seen combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This stood in stark contrast to Ugly Nation, which constantly provoked trouble and ignited wars across the globe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why this force proved so incompetent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Apache helicopters that had just attempted to gain altitude for reconnaissance\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>were greeted by a volley of missiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These helicopters were utterly useless, instantly transformed by the missiles into bursts of aerial fireworks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This naturally triggered a new wave of panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The British commander struggled desperately to control his frightened troops and organize a counterattack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But facing an invisible enemy,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>who seemed to know their every move and unleashed a frenzied bombardment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>how could these British forces possibly counterattack?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether hiding behind tanks or armored vehicles, it was completely futile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If an enemy missile struck a tank, whether it was an M1A2 or a Challenger,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>that tank was essentially totaled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crew inside would suffer severe internal injuries from the shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they were slightly luckier, a single missile would simply obliterate the tank and everyone inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for those taking cover beside the tanks, they would fare no better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive shockwave could rupture human organs outright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many British soldiers consequently bled from their facial orifices, presenting a terrifying sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We are under heavy fire! Requesting support, requesting support...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A British soldier was crying out to the Ugly Army for help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his view, this location was only about two hundred kilometers from Homs City; if the Ugly Army deployed its air force, they could arrive in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the Ugly Army officer on the other end seemed to have anticipated this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He merely responded indifferently:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We are aware, but I'm afraid our air force cannot deploy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing such a reply, the British officer lost his composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So be it! We came to the Xuzheng Prefecture battlefield to assist you Ugly Army, and now that we are under attack,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>you won't even spare a single aircraft.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What does this mean? Is this still the traditional friendship between Ugly Nation and Britain?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would definitely report this matter to the homeland in Britain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the Ugly Army side was actually quite helpless as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could certainly dispatch fighter jets,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but facing dozens of Lin Lin Jian-20s on the DWS platform, how many fighters would they need to sacrifice to fill that gap?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the pilots flying the Lin Lin Jian-20s this time were not as formidable as that one from before,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the Lin Lin Jian-20's beyond-visual-range combat mode and stealth capabilities\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>meant that even the two aircraft carriers in the Red Sea (one of which had its carrier-based aircraft half-crippled and had already returned to Ugly Nation),\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>even if all were deployed, would struggle to fight against this group of most advanced stealth fighters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The probability was high that they would be annihilated again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under such circumstances, how could the Ugly Army possibly dispatch fighter jets?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for infantry, even if they were entirely armored units, given the distance between the Ugly Army's position and the location where the British soldiers were being bombed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>at the very fastest, it would still take over three hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time they arrived, without air support, it was uncertain whether they would mount a rescue or become trapped themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of timing, in over three hours, the enemy would likely have already finished cleaning up the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, he had just received orders from the Pentagon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was forbidden from deploying any military forces to rescue the British soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the Pentagon's simulations, facing such a luxurious lineup from the DWS Platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>unless some miracle occurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>otherwise, this British unit was fundamentally doomed to escape its fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Apologies...!\" The U.S. General hung up the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shit... damn it, those damned Americans!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing that the Americans would not come to their rescue at all, the British officer flew into a complete rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While barely enduring the relentless bombing, he continued to curse the Americans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, at that moment, when President Xiao Ao of the Little White House learned that the DWS Platform's forces were attacking the British, Australian, and Korean troops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>for some reason, he breathed a long sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To him, although the annihilation of the allied British army was an unfortunate event.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it was still better than having the U.S. army annihilated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The defeat of the 1st Division's 2nd Armored Brigade last time had already caused the American public to lose extreme trust in him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many citizens had even held protests demanding his early resignation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If thousands more U.S. soldiers were annihilated this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Ao estimated he would be impeached immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, when choosing between two evils, one must pick the lesser.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for sending troops to help those British soldiers, apologies, neither the Pentagon nor he approved of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although this was somewhat unfair to the British people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>compared to Americans dying, Britons dying was actually a very good choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment on the battlefield, most of the British, Australian, and Korean soldiers still did not know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>that they had been completely abandoned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In less than fifteen minutes, under the assault of countless enemy missiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>essentially all heavy weapons and equipment of this unit could be said to be completely lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many tanks, helicopters, and infantry fighting vehicles had been destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now burning with raging fires, many crashed aircraft had already been scorched down to their skeletons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now engulfed in raging flames, many of the crashed aircraft have already been burned down to their skeletons.\u003C\u002Fp>",1216,"2026-06-16T04:15:31.334Z","2026-06-16T04:35:04.683Z",1,"Qwen3.5
