Chapter 281 Full Outbreak
"Given the attitudes of the Colombian Minority Party, the Colombian Socialist Party, and the rebellious western states, the United States Army will be fully mobilized to strike at the local separatist forces. Commander-in-Chief Mike Douglas, the President of the United States has ordered a full-scale offensive!"
The news reported that a full-scale civil war had broken out, but in reality, 24 hours before that news, Confederate forces in the South had already attacked cities controlled by the United States Army.
Allied Army forces equipped with E75G missiles are being deployed in full force, while F4 Phantoms and G.91R3s bearing the Allied bald eagle insignia soar through the sky.
Compared to other countries, Colombia's vast plains are more suitable for mechanized forces, and its long paved roads are the main battlefields for the civil war.
"I hit them!"
A fin-stabilized discarding sabot armor-piercing round traversed the plain and penetrated an M48 tank, which immediately burst into flames. On both sides of the road, Allied soldiers wearing helmets or cowboy hats were using a Marder armored vehicle to launch a counterattack against Allied soldiers who were getting off an M113 infantry fighting vehicle on the road.
Compared to the Confederate soldiers who received aid from the Glenard National Workers' Party, the United States soldiers had a much sparser squad and platoon firepower consisting of M14s and M60s.
After all, the old guard at the Colombian Ministry of Defense and Army Command has been rejecting various automatic rifle improvement plans in recent years, believing that they "will make soldiers waste bullets."
Even the new generation of rifles that overcame numerous difficulties to enter service, which is almost a Colombian copy of the FAL M44 rifle, has its production center and R&D company located in the Allied countries.
Therefore, most United States soldiers today can only use the M14 and M14E2 automatic rifles. The latter has a pistol grip and a folding foregrip, but the overall length of the rifle is still very long. In the normal combat range, the firepower density of United States infantry squads is far inferior to that of the large number of Allied soldiers equipped with AR44 rifles.

"Their firepower is too intense!"
"Damn it!"
Thanks to the Rh202 autocannon mounted on the Marder infantry fighting vehicle, a Confederate armored infantry squad equipped with Glenard weapons was able to suppress an entire United States armored infantry squad with firepower.
The 20mm autocannon ammunition penetrated the aluminum alloy armor of the M113 infantry fighting vehicle, shredded the machine gunner on it, and then turned the entire aluminum alloy box into scrap metal.
An E75G tank drove onto the roadbed, twisted its turret, and blasted soldiers who were trying to pull out the back of an M72 rocket launcher to pieces.
Over the plains, F-4 Phantoms and a considerable number of F-86 fighters were locked in combat. The Colombian Air Force and National Guard Air Force deployed in the southern states became the mainstay of the allied air forces. Most of the aircraft were simply painted with blue bald eagle insignia and hurriedly took to the skies.
Air-to-air missiles streaked across the sky, their trails of smoke winding and swirling like roots. Fighter jets were constantly being shot down. Allied air forces deployed a large number of F-86 fighters in relatively good condition from their aircraft graveyards to help the new F-4 fighters defend against the air-to-air missiles, while the F-4 fighters behind the older aircraft used Sidewinder missiles to shoot down their enemies.
The Allied armored battle group, composed of E-74G and M48 tanks, quickly broke through the United States army's defenses, which had underestimated their opponents. In just one day, the Colombian Allied Army successfully advanced 15 kilometers and raised the blue-and-white eagle flag in the newly captured towns.
The surrendered soldiers knelt in a row. A Union Ranger wearing a cowboy hat and smoking a cigarette looked at the soldiers with his M1A1 submachine gun tucked under his arm. The morale of the Union soldiers was low, and they were easily defeated.
If this continues, it might not be long before they are able to attack the District of Columbia.
"The Gray Legion".
A fellow soldier exhaled a smoke ring, looking somewhat weary. The Elf Ranger spotted several half-track vehicles painted with white crosses.
The Grey Legion is the armed force of the Church, composed of some priests who immigrated here to avoid retribution after the Church's complete destruction. They are more fanatical and shameless. To the Rangers, these guys who can do whatever they want just by wearing a silver badge on their chest are simply criminals.
What are the legions doing here?
"What else could they be doing? These people are here to kill. See those other people kneeling over there? Rumor has it they are members of the labor union."
“Those people look to be under 20.”
The ranger looked at the faces of those men; they were young and looked like they had never been on the battlefield.
"They're supposedly locals. I'll let you in on a secret: they actually have nothing to do with the union, but those junior bishops over there said they'd make an example of them."
The ranger looked at the two faces and recalled that when they stormed the town, they were the ones who killed several unarmed old men.
The Ranger spat out his cigarette butt, gripped his M1A1 submachine gun, and decided to go over there.
"Hey, Lieutenant, what are you doing?"
"Atlanta said that the Silver Legion must obey the army's orders. I joined the army to protect this country, not to let some greenhorn kill people indiscriminately!"
The ranger glanced at the Grey Legion soldiers jumping off the vehicle, then waved to a ranger platoon standing nearby.
"These are the unionists?"
"Yes, Your Excellency, I recognize them; they are full-fledged syndicalists."
The "priest" drew his P38 pistol from his waist and started the slide, but before he could raise the gun, he was stopped.
"Hey!"
A large contingent of rangers was approaching, and the leading lieutenant waved to him solemnly.
"What's wrong, Lieutenant?"
"Who told you you could do whatever you wanted on my turf? Prisoners must be screened and sent to the rear, and spies and saboteurs must be tried by military courts. Who are you?"
“These are syndicate members, Lieutenant Atlanta said, “The syndicate members must be executed on the spot.”
"They're just locals. Your two little 'bishops' have no credibility whatsoever. During the attack just now, they violated the rules of combat by firing on unarmed personnel. Damn it, you either get out of here now, or let a military court see who's more in line with the rules."
The "priest" clearly didn't want to get into trouble. He shook his head, tucked his pistol back into his waistband, and with his eyes hidden behind black sunglasses, he smiled and said, "Alright... alright... Lieutenant, sir."
"The pastor" said jokingly, turning back to walk towards the half-track.
Suddenly, he raised his hand and pulled the trigger—bang! Bang!
The lieutenant reacted quickly, raised his gun, and "Priest" shot the two young men in gray shirts who had just brought these local teenagers. He waved his hand to signal them to stop, and then walked back to the half-track vehicle.
"Damn it, a bunch of lunatics."
"The ranger lieutenant murmured."
