Around 3:20 AM, shortly after the 17102nd Armored Battalion redeployed, a sudden disaster struck the vanguard.
Without any warning, not even an alarm, over 20 A-10A aircraft of a whole squadron appeared in the sky above the battlefield.
The deadly part was that at the time in the center of the battlefield, only the tanks and vehicles of the Empire Army were operational, as the Fan Army armored forces had long been defeated.
For the attack aircraft of the Newland Expeditionary Air Force, there was no issue of friend or foe identification.
Moreover, with the artillery tactics previously adopted by the Fan Army, they probably weren't worried about friendly fire.
For the officers and soldiers of the vanguard still engaged in fierce combat, those attack aircraft that suddenly appeared overhead were no less than demons.
