Tonight's attack by the Taiji Tiger is an enhanced version of last night's.
Because not only were guns fired, but also rocket launchers, mortars, and grenades.
The glass of the first villa is gone, the second villa's glass soon followed, then the rockets were shot through the windows.
Balls of fire exploded inside, intense flames and black smoke billowed out of the rooms.
Both villas were within their attack range, with violent explosions and flames echoing to the skies.
Hundreds of people opened fire, regardless of whether they actually killed the enemy, the attack was exceptionally fierce.
"Full coverage! No blind spots, ensure every room is covered by grenades or rocket launchers!"
Choi Haomin shouted his commands, today they had the resources for this.
To take down Chen Bufan, the Taiji Tiger spared no expense, aside from tanks or artillery, everything else was well-prepared.
The gangsters were desperate, grenades in the hands of mutants, ensuring they could be thrown through the broken glass windows.
Every group, every person had a clear division of tasks, and they had completely familiarized themselves with the layout of the two villas before coming, knowing every room.
So this time the firepower coverage was truly comprehensive, even the lighting wells of the basement were blown up, with grenades continuously thrown into the basement to ensure no one could hide there either.
Those around watching the commotion and the live broadcast all felt that under these circumstances, there was no space to hide in the entire villa, especially the outer rooms where no one could possibly remain hidden.
However, relying on this firepower coverage alone could not kill everyone, it was estimated that some could still be hiding in storage rooms, bathrooms, and other internal rooms of the villa.
So in the end, victory or defeat still depended on going inside.
The violent firepower coverage lasted about three minutes, the villa was already engulfed in smoke and flames, tattered beyond recognition.
But the quality was truly good, such a fierce attack, yet the villa did not collapse.
Choi Haomin felt it was enough, ordered his men to stop attacking, ordered those in the high buildings to provide cover, then waved his hand, and over twenty gangsters moved forward towards the villa.
At this moment, a person suddenly appeared at the fourth-floor window of the villa.
This person had their head wrapped in something that could not be clearly seen whether it was cloth or what, holding a gun, and opened fire on those entering!
In the tall buildings, those responsible for monitoring were no novices, they immediately raised their guns and shot.
The two sides fired almost simultaneously, this suddenly appearing person, in a burst of gunfire, killed seven or eight people.
Then, the person's body and the edge of the window were instantly covered by dense gunfire.
Amidst the chaotic gunfire, Choi Haomin and others could clearly see this person being hit and then disappearing, presumably falling down.
"Got one! Hahaha! They only had four people, now at most three are left."
Choi Haomin laughed heartily, feeling even at the cost of seven or eight people, it was worth it.
Then, another person appeared at a different fourth-floor window, still with their head covered with a cloth, face unseen, lifting a gun to open fire.
The shooters on the high buildings returned fire, quickly scoring a hit.
However, several more people lost their lives because of it, and of the over twenty who entered the yard, less than ten remained.
Choi Haomin didn't care at all, they had taken down one more opponent, leaving the other side with at most two people.
Waving his hand again, another twenty or more went in.
This time, another person appeared at a first-floor window once more, continuing to cover their head and open fire wildly.
Bang bang bang bang~~~~!
This time the opponent's location appeared rather suddenly, and a round of gunfire took down more than a dozen Taiji Tiger members.
Although this person was shot down again, Choi Haomin felt something was wrong.
"That's the third, they only had four people, could it be Ye Fan has exhausted all his men? Is he really that reckless?"
But there was no time for hesitation, as soon a fourth person appeared.
Continuing to carry a gun and open fire, continuing to cover their head with cloth.
"Shoot hard, this one might be Ye Fan himself!"
The firefight very much like before, this person also fell down after being shot.
"Is it over?"
Choi Haomin wasn't quite sure, but cheers erupted within the Taiji Tiger's ranks.
Because they all knew Chen Bufan's side had only four people, they should all be eliminated now.
The gang members originally advancing cautiously in the yard surged forward, intending to check the enemy's dead and wounded.
But as soon as they entered, another person appeared on the first floor, with their head covered, holding a gun and started firing!
A squad light machine gun with a drum magazine of 120 rounds.
The entrants were caught off guard, hit squarely.
A group of people screamed, dying and crawling as they were shot out, with over a dozen more casualties.
In this back-and-forth, they had already lost over forty people here, more severe than last night's casualties.
"Damn it! We were tricked!"
Choi Haomin had realized, that cloth was definitely problematic.
At the very least, it was bulletproof, and not just averagely effective.
The people appearing and firing before and after were actually the same person.
"Withdraw, reorganize the attack!"
Of the nearly fifty that went in before and after, only a few came back, the rest were either dead or screaming in agony inside the yard.
Cold sweat broke out on Cui Haomin's forehead, knowing that Boss Gold was watching in the TV station's broadcast room. If he failed, he might not even have a life to go back to.
"Armored vehicles, move into the yard for cover!"
"Everyone else, get in there! Use our numbers advantage to charge inside. Once we're in, they won't have a way out. After all, we have more people."
Two armored vehicles roared as they crashed through the villa's wall and rushed into the yard.
The anti-aircraft machine guns on top adjusted angles, began another round of fire coverage on the first floor.
Then, hundreds of gang members swarmed over like a dark tide.
This time, the Taiji Tiger people didn't play tactics, they simply chose to crush with numbers.
And just at this moment, a startling scene unfolded.
At almost every window of the villa, more than two people appeared.
These people were clad in strange metal armor, wielding guns emitting blue flashes, and they fired at the crowd below!
Zzzzzzzz~~~!
Currents shot out from those guns, effortlessly striking the attacking gang members.
Each person hit seemed like they were under X-ray, quickly emitting the charred aroma of roasted meat. They couldn't even scream before collapsing silently.
Fallen to the ground, their status of life unknown, yet their bodies continued to twitch!
The electromagnetic rays continued to sweep, knocking down one, immediately targeting the next.
The attack was sudden, and the hundred people following the armored vehicles were quickly reduced to a mere handful.
Even more dire, the armored vehicles were hit too.
Enveloped by electromagnetic rays, the metal vehicle's conductive properties were outstanding, instantly electrocuting the occupants inside.
The armored vehicle's circuitry immediately failed, smoke billowed from the console, and the vehicle was rendered useless.
Such is the power of the Magnetic Storm Infantry, up close, anything with circuits gets disabled.
The armored vehicles which Taiji Tiger relied on for the assault were now immobilized.
The shooters from the high-rises quickly retaliated, and the gunfire on those armored soldiers sounded like clinks and clanks, emitting sparks everywhere.
Clearly, the bulletproof ability of this metal armor is strong, this wave of counterattack was not deadly.
Cui Haomin couldn't accept the situation at all, angrily shouting.
"What's going on? Why did they suddenly have so many more people?"
"Damn it! What were the watchers doing? So many people entered the villa and you didn't know, what useless fools! Idiots!"
"Enough playing! No more taking captives, people on high ground! Shoot them from above! Throw down the rockets, grenades, whatever you prepared, and the ready explosives packs, flatten these two villas, bury them alive inside!"
This was their backup plan, much heavy firepower had been moved to the derelict building, if the assault failed, they'd rather destroy the villa to ensure victory.
Nothing else could guarantee to destroy the high-rise, but there were over ten explosive packs here.
Let the Mutants throw them down from above, sure to hit the villa roof.
Once collapsed, those inside would basically be finished.
People in the high-rise immediately prepared, getting ready to throw explosive packs.
.....
In the live broadcast room on Wanguo Island's TV station, Jin Zhixian's face was livid, though he tried to maintain demeanor.
Although he wanted to capture two captives, especially that foreign woman, it seemed now impossible.
This scoundrel Chen Bufan secretly hid so many people in the villa, causing him such a loss. This grievance must be avenged, or he wouldn't be able to win over the people.
Therefore, he had no objections to Cui Haomin's orders.
"Watch closely, these two villas are about to become history."
"My people have done their utmost, but unfortunately, Chen Bufan remains stubborn, so he must be made to disappear. Brother Cao, your Qin Han are losing talent."
Cao Zhenxu shrugged: "No matter to us, Qin Han has plenty of people."
The two chuckled, thinking this absurd farce was about to end.
.....
Ye Fan stood inside the villa, connecting to Tanya's view.
At this moment Tanya had completed the installation of C4 explosives.
Demolishing buildings, this was Tanya's unique skill in Red Alert.
One Tanya could destroy buildings indefinitely.
In reality, limitless wasn't possible, but Tanya's explosives could achieve a directional blast.
It's a technique for demolishing abandoned buildings, ensuring the building would fall towards a designated direction after destruction.
Tanya hadn't participated in tonight's battle, initially, Ye Fan didn't know the opponents intended to occupy the derelict building. When the opponents arrived, he and Tanya were inside the villa.
All along, Ye Fan had many subordinates who could fight. This situation of fewer against many was indeed rare, forcing Ye Fan to devise more strategies.
He quickly thought of a countermeasure, when the villa's lights unexpectedly turned on, Tanya took advantage of the moment people's eyes were acclimating, swiftly left the villa, moved to the derelict building side.
Now with C4 explosives set, Tanya retreated to a bush.
"Commander, explosives are set, ready for detonation, predicted collapse direction, Taiji Tiger's convoy."
Upon hearing Tanya's report via intercom, Ye Fan nodded: "Detonate."
With a press of the detonation switch on Tanya's side, in an instant, the earth shook and the mountains rocked!
