Dust billows, accompanied by a deafening roar of engines.
The steel tracks rolled over the solid wasteland, making a rumble sound.
The tank formation composed of all the NAC's armored forces, led by the Prowler tank, was like a sharp arrow, inserted from Shenxiang Town to No. 7 located between Jia City and Wanghai City.
There is the production base of mutants. Once captured there, it means that the mutants will completely lose their ammunition supplies. After liberating the slaves imprisoned in No. 7, the First Corps will continue to go west and crush the mutants entrenched in Jia City!
Starting with the Prowler tank, 8 Tiger IIs, 15 Raider infantry vehicles, 30 supply trucks, 00 soldiers, and two YZ-51s, this is almost half of the NAC's assets.
At this moment, Cheng Weiguo and Ma Zhong were sitting opposite each other in the Raider infantry vehicle that had been transformed into a command tower. What was before them now was a holographic terrain map. The red marks on the map were the mutant positions, and the arrow formations made up of blue dots were the soldiers of the First Corps and the Stalker Corps.
"According to estimates by forward scouts, the mutants deployed in Jia City have 9,000 troops, 80 anti-tank guns, 60 anti-aircraft machine guns, and more than 220 machine gun fire points." Ma Zhongcheng reported to Cheng Weiguohui.
"It's really difficult." Cheng Weiguo cursed secretly.
Because of the capture of Jia City, the number of mutants has increased significantly. It is foreseeable that this will be a hard battle.
There was a sudden explosion in the distance.
A shell exploded next to a speeding Jagdtiger II. The shrapnel scraped the A-shaped steel armor with a crispy aroma that made people's teeth taste sour, but it did not cause any damage to the armor. Then several more artillery shells fell into the position, but they did not hit any targets.
"Enemy anti-tank target found!"
"The battle begins." Cheng Weiguo clicked on the headset and said in a deep voice.
"clear!"
The supply trucks carrying infantry slowed down, allowing the soldiers in the carriages to jump off and spread out to charge towards No. 7. The soldiers sitting outside the infantry vehicles also jumped out of the vehicles, scattered and rushed towards the mutant position with rifles in hand.
An armor-piercing round hit the Prowler's front armor hard and was bounced to the side without any suspense. Electromagnetic reactive armor that utilizes the Meissner effect can almost render most kinetic energy weapons (tank-level) using metal shells ineffective! Even without this electromagnetic reactive armor, the 140mm A-type steel armor cannot be penetrated by ordinary artillery shells.
As the main cannon, the Type 52 particle cannon shoots out a bluish light group. After hitting the target, it exploded like fireworks, instantly disintegrating the anti-tank gun behind the enemy bunker. As a coaxial secondary gun, the 2kg rapid-fire electromagnetic gun kept flashing arcs, and projectiles with a speed of 8 times the speed of sound easily smashed the house into several pieces. Before the mutants lurking in the building could scream, they were pushed down together with the house itself.
It's like a mobile fortress!
Compared to that the Prowler tank shines. The "locally produced" Hunting Tiger II is slightly inferior, but when faced with mutants without armor protection, the thick-faced front armor and powerful electromagnetic gun are still more than enough.
The Type 50 electromagnetic gun continuously poured out 5kg mass bombs towards the mutants' positions, instantly destroying the first line of defense built by the mutants.
The defense line is breached. The Raider infantry vehicle immediately accelerated, sprang out from the tank formation in the front row, and rushed into the No. 7 Industrial Park. The minigun placed on the roof of the vehicle was spitting out tongues of fire, and large-caliber ammunition was wildly harvesting the mutant soldiers behind the bunker, and heat- and electromagnetic-induced bombs were continuously dropped from the sides of the vehicle.
The induced tracking rocket immediately tilted towards the position of the induced missile like a blind fly. However, non-tracking rockets cannot hit due to the high speed of the infantry vehicle.
For a while, rockets were flying in the park. They did not hit an infantry vehicle, but instead injured many of the mutants themselves.
The infantry vehicles that rushed into the park cleared the anti-tank guns and anti-aircraft machine guns that were ambushed behind the bunkers in the shortest possible time. This paved the way for the entry of tank troops. At the same time, the hunter regiment wearing power armor and mechanical exoskeletons also broke into the mutants' first line of defense, and cooperated with the infantry team who got off the car to clear out the remaining enemies huddled in the ruins.
The only vehicle casualties were two Raider infantry vehicles. One was damaged by an anti-tank mine, and the other was hit by a non-tracking rocket on its side armor.
However, compared with the results achieved, this sacrifice is undoubtedly worth it. A total of 17 anti-tank guns and 31 quadruple anti-aircraft machine guns were destroyed or captured. More than 2,000 mutants were killed. The remaining enemies fled towards the second line of defense.
"The first line of defense is captured!"
The team leader on the front line conveyed the battle situation back to the command tower. Looking at the entangled red and blue dots on the holographic map, Cheng Weiguo looked at Ma Zhongcheng.
"Deploy drones."
"OK." Ma Zhongcheng took out the tablet. His fingers pressed a few keys.
The second line of defense is built around the complex complex of buildings in the industrial park, where even infantry vehicles cannot move at high speeds. The mutant soldiers stationed on this street corner are equipped with a large number of unguided individual rockets and sticky explosives. Although these things cannot harm the Prowler, they pose a considerable threat to the Jagdtiger II and infantry vehicles.
The side armor and chrysanthemums are the weak points of the Hunter II. If it is hit by an anti-tank rocket at close range, there is no guarantee that it will not break down.
Therefore, the task of supporting the infantry to attack the second line of defense can only be left to drones!
After receiving the order, the two YZ-51s hovering in the outer airspace immediately approached the first line of defense that had been breached, and then dropped two long containers toward the ground.
The blue arc light flashed under the reverse jet of the slow descent device. The "container" about 5 meters long hit the second line of defense hard. One box was stuck on the street, and the other box was stuck on the roof of a building.
The memory metal box suddenly unfolded under the impact, revealing the honeycomb-shaped hole under the shell, and released the Hummingbird drone parked in the honeycomb.
Weng's fame even covered up the sound of gunfire. Facing the drone attack group composed of the disc-sized "hummingbirds", the mutants had no choice but to use their rifles and machine guns to unleash their firepower crazily, but with little effect.
Centered on the "hive" that serves as a drone terminal, hundreds of agile hummingbirds shuttle freely through the streets and alleys, harvesting the lives of mutants. Even though the mutants were wearing thick C-shaped steel front armor, they couldn't withstand the drone's attack from behind. Encountering drones in street fighting would be a massacre without EMP weapons.
Obviously, the mutants in No. 7 did not prepare too much>
When the hive landed, the built-in terrain scanning system had logged the terrain details of the landing area into the server, so these hummingbirds were even more familiar with the terrain of this area than the mutants themselves!
At the same time, 20 T-3 powered armors broke into the second line of defense, and with the coordination of light infantry, they started a fierce street battle with the mutants.
The orange-yellow ballistics almost lit up the entire park. Facing the fierce offensive of the First Corps, the mutants who were stationed here were beaten back steadily.
The infantry completely cleared the anti-aircraft fire points of the second line of defense. At this time, the YZ-51 stepped forward and used the Type 50 electromagnetic gun to bring down the nightmare called death for the mutants. No bunker could remain intact under the weight of this 10kg mass bomb. Although lead mutants armed with power hammers and self-exploding mutants armed with micro nuclear bombs caused certain casualties to the infantry involved in street fighting, the mutants still could not Turn the tide of battle.
The second line of defense was conquered, and the tanks continued to advance. The soldiers who captured the anti-tank gun from the mutants pointed the muzzle at the mutants' third line of defense, which was the mutants' last line of defense.
Building a factory for electronic products in No. 7!
The high-tech factory covering an area of 1,500 acres stands out in the entire No. 7 Industrial Park. It is precisely because it stands out from the crowd that the mutants chose it as their residence. A high wall was built around the factory, and the factory buildings inside were built into fortresses by mutants.
In front of the alien species and most survivors, this fortress is unbreakable, but this is not the case in front of the NAC.
The castle in the eyes of mutants is destined to become their tomb!
After occupying the second line of defense, the First Corps poured a full 1,000 rounds of artillery shells into the factory, almost destroying the factory's walls and main building.
After the ground clearing was over, the infantry vehicle carrying the drone terminal and the power armor advanced together, followed closely by the soldiers carrying rifles, engaging in a fierce exchange of fire with the mutants in the factory.
The battle was extremely brutal.
For both sides, there was no concept of surrender in this battle.
Because humans and mutants are not the same species at all!
After 6 hours of fierce fighting, the soldiers of the First Corps finally killed the last mutant, planted the NAC flag on the roof of the half-collapsed factory, and declared victory in the Battle of No. 7! (.)
