West Line.
In the suburbs of Jia City, 6 kilometers away from the Jia City Sports Center, Cheng Weiguo set up a temporary combat headquarters here.
At this moment, he was standing in front of the holographic map, tapping the main roads on the map with his fingers, and then took out a red arrow for attack and gave orders to his team.
"Attention Team 8. The mutants have deployed a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns in the foxholes of Sanshuiwan Park. Your mission is to break through the mutant infantry's defense line along this route and remove their anti-aircraft machine gun positions. Do you understand? !”
"clear!"
"Team 5, pay attention, from... damn." Cheng Weiguo raised his head and looked at the orange-yellow light group exploding in the sky in the distance.
Wide-area electromagnetic interference bombs can disrupt radio communications in the area within an hour.
Cursing secretly, Cheng Weiguo threw the headset filled with noise on the table and sat back in his chair. This kind of radio communication shielding is effective for both the enemy and ourselves. Without command, the troops fighting on the front line can only maintain their current deployment and fight independently.
This boring trick can only delay time, and neither side can redeploy its troops. However, it seems that the mutants do not need to make any new arrangements. As defenders, all they need to do is to hold on.
The constant sound of gunfire in the distance made Cheng Weiguo upset. He was disturbed by the mutant's delaying tactics.
This mutant has surprisingly many good things in his hands. It seems that the Twilight Church is not a fuel-efficient lamp either.
Soon, a messenger soldier carrying a rifle ran up to him.
Taking a deep breath, Cheng Weiguo said to him.
"Notify Team 4 to advance along Nanxi Road to the intersection..."
Different from the terrain of Wanghai City, the environment of Jiashi with crisscrossed rivers makes it easy to defend but difficult to attack. As the mutant command base, the Jiashi Sports Center is surrounded by rivers.
In order to resist the offensive of the NAC First Corps, the mutants learned a lesson. They blew up all the river bridges and huddled within their defences. However, these rivers caused a lot of trouble for NAC's armored units.
On the first day of the offensive, NAC's armored forces were blocked at the entrance to the highway west of Jiashi. The bridge across the river was blown into several pieces. In order to allow the armored troops to pass through the river, Wang Zhaowu really spent a lot of effort.
First, artillery fire bombarded the mutant defenders on the other side of the river, and then the infantry stepped forward to build a pontoon bridge and occupied the other side of the river. Armored forces pass.
As the tanks crossed the river, the situation suddenly became much more optimistic. The armored vanguard cleared the way, followed by the infantry.
Racing all the way to conquer the city for four kilometers, the mutants abandoned their helmets and armor and fled in a hurry.
But soon the situation became tense again.
As we enter the city. The number of rivers increased instead of decreasing, and the advance of armored forces was once again blocked.
The disastrous defeat at Site 7 made the mutants somewhat aware of the ferocity of the NAC armor, so they deployed defenses along the river and adhered to the street fighting strategy. The mutants entrenched in Jia City are many times more difficult to deal with than the mutants in No. 7.
In addition to those troublesome anti-tank guns and mortars, the mutants even got a tactical nuclear bomb from nowhere. About two hundred light infantry without armor protection fell in an instant, and the Hunting Tiger II also One broke down.
Fortunately, the people who died were basically recruits recruited from the captives at No. 7. Cheng Weiguo just frowned, but he was not particularly distressed.
But if you don’t feel bad, you don’t feel bad. This battle situation has become anxious. In order to prevent the mutants from having useless tactical nuclear bombs, Cheng Weiguo had no choice but to lengthen the front and give up the strategy of cluster attack.
These mutants must be commanded by humans!
..
There are about 20,000 mutants entrenched in Jia City, which is five times the number of the First Corps. Although the First Corps was equipped with a large number of heavy firepower weapons and armored units, it was still stuck in a tough battle due to the crisscrossing rivers.
"The blitzkrieg offensive is blocked, and the First Corps may not be able to capture Jia City in the short term." Han Junhua said with his arms crossed and looking at the holographic map.
"I have long said that fighting on two fronts is crazy."
Sun Jiao glanced at her mouth. What a fart. He sat on the sofa.
"Didn't you consider that mutants might blow up the bridge?" Jiang Chen looked at Han Junhua and asked.
"A total of 217 bridges were blown up. According to AC's quality standards for ordinary highway bridges, blowing up a bridge requires at least 600 kilograms of explosives to be placed on the supporting structure." Han Junhua said calmly.
130. 2 tons of explosives, this mutant's supply is really too generous.
"Fuck, where did those beasts get so much explosives?" Sun Jiao couldn't help but scolded fiercely.
130 tons. Even if we search the entire Sixth District, we probably won't be able to get this much explosives. Even though the Dusk Church has considerable financial resources, they are a force that migrated from the Northern United District after all, so there is no reason why they should carry so many things with them.
"Maybe it's not explosives." Jiang Chen suddenly said.
Han Junhua and Sun Jiao looked at Jiang Chen together. Suddenly, Sun Jiao seemed to understand something.
"Ya Jing!"
"That's right. Sun Xiaorou said that her abilities were induced through genetic engineering and were not simply evolved by drinking genetic potions. In other words, her abilities are not unique among the Twilight Church." Jiang Chen looked solemn. said.
The ability to detonate sub-crystals.
As we all know, mutants and humans are mortal enemies of each other. The two sides only exist for plunder and enslavement, and there is no trade. And they basically obtain food by hunting alien species. Over the past decade or so, they must have accumulated a large amount of unused sub-crystals in their hands.
Others can't afford this money, but mutants don't care.
"What are you talking about?" Han Junhua looked at the two of them and asked in confusion.
Jiang Chen and Sun Jiao looked at each other, and then told Han Junhua about Sun Xiaorou.
Han Junhua lowered his head and thought for a moment.
"I have a question that I have never understood. Why is the Church of Dusk able to establish a cooperative relationship with mutants? Have you asked Sun Xiaorou?"
Sun Jiao shook her head, she would not let her sister recall that memory.
Han Junhua looked at Jiang Chen with questioning eyes.
"Mutants need to improve the FEV virus to gain the ability to reproduce, and the Church of Dusk needs the Eden technology of Vault 05. Both parties have the same interests, and the Church of Dusk will eventually roll off the earth without leaving a trace, so there will be no conflict between the two parties in the future." Jiang Chen organized the known information in his mind and stated simply.
"The Eden Project? When I was the commander of the 71st Mechanic Division, I heard someone talk about a national research institute in Wanghai City that was responsible for research in this area. It is said that once the technological breakthrough is successful, the alien system will The colonial problem can be overcome." Han Junhua held his chin and said to himself.
"What if we provide the FEV virus to mutants and let them fight on their own?" Sun Jiao suggested.
"Impossible. Once you do this, the short-term trouble will be gone, but the long-term trouble will be huge." Jiang Chen said with a bitter smile.
He considered the question, but quickly dismissed it. Mutants who are freed from the constraints of their reproductive function do not need to rely on capturing and raising humans in captivity to reproduce the population. This will be a disaster for the survivors in the entire wasteland.
I have to admit that ugly mutants are indeed more suitable for this soil. Being able to chew dead claw meat that is more toxic than rat poison, and eating mutated fruits that do not need to be processed raw, such transformations. If the state still gained the ability to reproduce, then humans would really not be able to survive.
Suddenly, Han Junhua raised his head and looked at Jiang Chen.
"What about changing the angle? We find Vault 05 first, and then provide the Eden Project to the Dusk Church, so that they lose the motive of controlling Wanghai City. Without the supplies of foreign aid and the arms production line in Site 7, the mutants will no longer be able to The attack breaks itself." (.)
