Chapter 558 Persuading Surrender
As the buzzing sound got closer, the machine gunners saw clearly - it was a helicopter.

But why is it so small?

The black spots flying in front quickly grew larger. Twelve aircraft with four propellers and several dozen centimeters long were divided into three groups of four each, flying towards the fortress.

A special helicopter without a pilot?
Although there was no one piloting the aircraft and the rocket hanging under the belly was very small, not much bigger than a grenade, it was absolutely certain that this thing was used to attack people.

The fortress machine guns immediately spit out flames, shooting at the small planes.

These drones were freshly pulled out of the belly of the transport Black Hawk. Each air assault brigade is equipped with a drone company, and the operators are all young people in their 18s and 19s.

This entry-level drone is very simple, but the operating equipment it is equipped with is quite expensive.

In the distance, the Daxia drone soldiers set up a long monocular telescope and carefully observed the flight status of their treasures.

Unfortunately, this high-definition telescope technology comes from Germany and is a product of Leica.

Germany's optical and dye technology is unparalleled in the world, and even Daxia cannot compare with it.

The joysticks in the hands of the operators are very similar to those of game consoles. They focus their eyes on the telescopes and operate them blindly with both hands. They are very skilled.

The drone swayed left and right, moving in curves in the air, simulating a skirmish line and avoiding enemy bullets.

Suddenly, a young man threw the controller in his hand to the ground and slapped his thigh, "Damn it, I lost my life."

This is actually the role of drones. Otherwise, if such a strong fortress is attacked by humans, it will cost lives, and more than one.

Losing one life is not a big deal. There are four drones guarding a fortress. Even if all of them are destroyed, there are still some in the transport plane.

In fact, it is very difficult to aim a heavy machine gun at such a nimble and mobile gadget. The four drones are very fast and act in separate locations, so it really depends on your luck to be able to shoot one down.

Through the telescope, the drone quickly flew in front of the fortress and hovered steadily. The operator gently adjusted the joystick and suddenly pressed the red button on it.

"Whoosh", the 30-centimeter-long micro rocket suddenly penetrated into the fortress through the shooting hole.

"boom!"

There was a slight explosion, not much noise, and the fortress was not destroyed, but the machine gun was completely silenced.

The rocket designed specifically for drones has a charge of only 38 grams, which is equivalent to the charge in a grenade.

But this thing has a killing range of 7 meters. It can't blow up fortresses, but it can definitely blow up people by drilling into the shooting hole.

The three fortresses lost only one drone in total, and the rest, including the one that launched rockets, flew back safely.

The drone loss rate was far lower than the Daxia military’s own estimates.

Because under actual combat conditions, the visibility of the fortress's firing holes was severely poor and was occupied by machine guns.

The panicked enemy did not have time to put away their machine guns and aim their rifles, which were best suited for shooting down drones from a long distance. They also did not have the opportunity to use shotguns at close range - that was the nemesis of drones.

On the one hand, the enemy had no experience with drones, and on the other hand, the soldiers in the trenches outside the fortress were suppressed by dive bombers and helicopter-borne rockets. Even if there were any soldiers who survived, they were injured and lost their combat effectiveness.

The fortress on its own is just an iron cage waiting to be beaten.

The assault battalion launched a new charge and was about to capture the position.

The drone operators here rubbed their eyes and complained while putting away their drones.

"This job is too damaging to my eyesight. I'm going to become nearsighted. Can't those idiots at Hailing Arsenal install the camera equipment on the drone? All they do all day is drive their Maybachs to pick up girls."

…………

After 11 days.

Eastern Indian Ocean, Cocos Islands beach.

The sky is blue, the beach is pure white, the coconut trees are tall, the sea water is crystal clear, and Shao Quanzhong is tired on vacation.

The island where Shao Quanzhong was on vacation was reserved, and the beach was quiet and deserted.

Shao Quanzhong was shirtless, wearing colorful shorts worn by locals, wearing sunglasses and lying on the warm sand, with a sun hat on his head. After ten days of repeated competition, Yali, who won the final victory in the beach bathing competition, gently patted Shao Quanzhong's waist with one hand, and read the front-line intelligence forwarded by Shao Jiming to his father with the other hand.

"Seven air assault brigades occupied strategic points behind the enemy lines and, with the assistance of air force units, firmly blocked the enemy's retreat route."

"After the main force landed and launched a massive attack on the enemy forces that had been carpet-bombed, the enemy's Sixth Army surrendered after losing five divisions."

"The enemy's Eighth Army retreated on its own initiative when it saw the situation was not good. It was not caught by us and escaped to Lille."

"All of our one million troops have landed and have begun to attack deep into Lille."

"In the Calais landing operation, one-third of our seven air assault brigades were lost, 2,000 people were killed, and 200 helicopters were lost. The losses were mainly caused when we were defending our positions and resisting the enemy's crazy counterattack."

"The tank and armored divisions lost 4,000 men. Our army lost 6,000 men in total, and destroyed 110,000 enemy troops, most of which were achieved by the air force. We captured 150,000 enemy troops, and the enemy's Sixth Army was completely destroyed."

Shao Quanzhong sighed, "The German army is very tenacious. They surrendered only after suffering more than 40% casualties. I really don't want to fight against such warriors."

"We've suffered a huge loss. Six thousand men, all elite..."

Yali smiled brightly, "Your Majesty, you are asking too much. Newspapers all over the world are amazed at our fighting power."

"The landing in Normandy was also successful, and the one million federal troops also landed successfully. The German army's fifteen divisions suffered 11.4 casualties and prisoners, and the rest fled."

"Since the Federation was the attacking party, 12.2 casualties were incurred. This is the normal casualty ratio for a landing battle."

"Emery summarized the experience of the landing operation and also passed on the suggestions of the soldiers at the front."

"They strongly urged that the TV equipment be mounted on drones, which would significantly reduce the number of reconnaissance helicopters we lose."

Shao Quanzhong waved his hands. "That's impossible. Do you think I didn't ask the scientists at Xiaoxiang Cliff about this?"

"Thomson told me that television signals are called microwaves, which are quite different from radio. That thing definitely needs a transmission tower, and it can't be miniaturized at all, and can't be installed on a drone."

This is due to the limitation of technology, and the simplified version of the drone is still far from being perfect.

To install a camera on a drone, what is needed is not the transmission of TV signals, but network video transmission, and it must be at least a 3G network.

In that era, electronic computers were still huge behemoths that took up several houses, and the concept of the Internet had not yet appeared.

Shao Quanzhong stood up and rubbed his waist, "Let's go, we've been out for so long, it's time to go back to Hailing."

A week later, Shao Quanzhong returned to the familiar Erfen bamboo house.

The latest news from the front is that 2.4 million Dutch colonial troops have successfully landed from Normandy and Calais.

They were relatively poorly equipped and had already made huge sacrifices. They were ordered to take over the territories occupied by the Daxia and federal armies and ensure logistical supplies in the rear.

Without the burden of occupation, the Xia-Mei coalition forces attacked with all their might.

The federal army has reached the southern suburbs of Paris. After the Daxia army annihilated the German Eighth Army in Lille, the German defense in the front was suddenly empty. The armored tank units worked at full capacity and launched a blitzkrieg.

Luxembourg was liberated three days later, and five days later, the vanguard had reached Strasbourg.

This means that the only 2.5 million elite German troops left were surrounded by the US-China Allied Forces in northern France.

Germany's attack on Britain and France ended in one month, and the American coalition forces will also attack Germany in the summer, at the same speed.

"Report to the Marshal. Russia took advantage of the German army's transfer of troops to the Western Front, leaving the Eastern Front empty, and suddenly tore up the Lourdes Non-Aggression Treaty and declared war on Germany."

"The Russians' steel torrent took over Poland in just seven days and has begun to attack Germany."

Shao Quanzhong chuckled, "Has the old Russian finally lost his patience?"

Shao Quanzhong looked at the map and it was obvious that the German army was doomed. He also felt sad when he looked at the losses suffered by Daxia.

He slammed the table and said, "Come here, in my personal name, urge Waldersee to surrender."

"Warn him. If he doesn't know what to do, we will have to use special weapons."
