The first contact with the Prowler tank was on the street near the Yanjiang Bridge.
After witnessing the Prowler tank, the Jagdtiger II, which was providing cover for the infantry, immediately aimed the Type 50 electromagnetic gun at it, and a dazzling electric arc suddenly flashed from the side of the gun barrel.
The orange-red arc hit the Prowler tank, but the mass bullet that was sure to hit did not hit the armor. Instead, it drew a strange arc in front of the tank armor and plunged into the dilapidated building next to the street.
The cylindrical mass bomb is converted into a superconductor under the action of a special field. At the moment it approaches the electromagnetized armor, it is affected by the Meissner effect and is deflected aside by the magnetic field generated by the diamagnetic superconducting current in the superconductor. This is the reason why the Prowler tank is called the king of land warfare. Metal warheads are ineffective and insulated warheads cannot penetrate armor. Even NATO's most powerful armored forces dare not touch its edge easily.
Not expecting to be able to destroy the target with the electromagnetic gun, the Hunter Tiger II quickly retreated to the corner of the street with the help of the smoke screen set off by the explosion. The infantrymen scattered and hid in the buildings on both sides of the street, avoiding the machine gun bullets that pierced the smoke.
However, Hunting Tiger II's escape failed.
The 2kg-class rapid-fire electromagnetic gun used as the Prowler's coaxial secondary gun sprayed high-speed projectiles, "clang-dang-dang" banging out a row of thumb-wide bullet holes in the lower armor of the Hunter Tiger II, and removing its right track. .
"Abandon the car! Quick!"
The tank had lost its mobility. The commander roared, opened the top cover, and climbed out of the vehicle. The gunner and machine gunner climbed out of the vehicle, but before they could climb out, an arc flashed out of the smoke screen not far away. The high-heat particle clusters passed through the snow screen and melted a mole on the side armor of the Jagdtiger II. The terrifying hole penetrated the power module and directly led to the explosion of the nuclear fusion core.
The aftermath of the small nuclear explosion blew away the snow and cement blocks on the entire street, and behind the scattered dust stood the ferocious muzzle.
The main gun of the Prowler tank—Type 52 particle cannon!
Artillery fire was heard in the distance and incendiary bombs covered the area. However, in this howling blizzard, the fire did not last long. It ran over the wreckage of the Jagdtiger II, and the hidden joint infantry followed behind the Prowler and pushed the battle line forward.
Through the long-distance aerial footage taken by a drone, Wang Zhaowu looked down at it all with a sinking face.
The blizzard turned the picture into a white "mush", but from the light and shadow advancing forward, he could still tell that the second division's defense line was being squeezed backwards.
Strategically, NAC is undoubtedly successful. The laser array anti-aircraft vehicle can effectively counter Aurora-20, but it cannot protect the entire supply line of more than 700 kilometers. Wang Zhaowu used his strengths to avoid weaknesses and allocated all the more than 20 Aurora-20s of the Second Division to harassing the supply lines in the joint unified area. It is impossible to completely cut off the supply line, but it is more than enough to seriously hinder its supply efficiency.
On the other hand, for the Second Division, supplies depart directly from Hongcheng, adjacent to Wu City, and the supply line is only over 200 kilometers long. Both the supporting artillery and ammunition are quite abundant. As long as the position is stabilized, the first to be unable to hold on will be the joint unified area coming from afar!
However, the commander of the First Army was not a fool, and he was very aware of his disadvantage in supply. The First Army did not intend to use conservative tactics from the beginning. Instead, it used skirmishing tactics to disperse NAC's artillery support, compete with NAC's infantry for area control, and at the same time push its strongest armored force onto the frontal battlefield, drilling through The strongest position of the NAC defense.
Just as Wang Zhaowu was staring at the holographic screen and lost in thought, an officer wearing cold weather clothing opened the tent curtain and walked in. He walked next to him with a stern look, gave a military salute and reported.
"According to the response of the frontline troops, the effect of the incendiary bombs did not meet expectations. The snowstorm outside was too heavy and the temperature was too low... If this continues, it will be difficult for us to hold the defense line in front of the cross-river bridge."
Wang Zhaowu looked at the holographic screen, cut out the drone aerial footage, and switched to the tactical map of Wu City.
A green line runs along the cross-river bridge a few kilometers away from the mouth of the Han River into the Yangtze River, dividing the northern suburbs of Wu City controlled by the Liantong District. The forces of both sides are evenly distributed on both sides of the Han River. If the cross-river bridge located in the middle of the battle line is lost, the NAC can only shrink its defense line backwards and retreat to the entrance of the Han River into the Yangtze River. It will be in close contact with the Liantong District in the urban area of Wu City.
The closer to the city center, the higher the building floors, and the less effective the support artillery will be, which will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of NAC defense.
Retreat
Or stick to it.
Wang Zhaowu clenched his fists and veins popped out in his arms.
In terms of personal force, the average of his three attributes can even reach a terrifying level of over 40, but his so-called bravery is quite ridiculous on the battlefield of legion-level operations. Even if the muscle strength and agility reached the limit that humans can achieve, it would not be half as strong as the Death Claw, and even the mother of the Death Claw could not withstand a 10-kilogram mass bullet from the Type 50 electromagnetic gun.
Just when he was about to order the defense line to be defended, a communications soldier suddenly broke into the command room, saluted before Wang Zhaowu frowned, and breathed heavily to report.
"Report."
"What's up?"
"The Order arrived at the southern suburbs of Wanghai City, and was accompanied by Han Junhua, Chief of Staff of the Marshal's Mansion!"
Wang Zhaowu opened his eyes slightly, and a flash of joy flashed in his pupils. Although the Order cannot get too close, using the heavy electromagnetic gun suspended from its bottom to bombard the positions in the northern joint command area from a very long distance can still cause a certain amount of psychological pressure on those "barbarians".
"What did the Chief of Staff say?"
"The chief of staff brought an order from the marshal, requesting to take over the command of the Second Division and directly command all the officers and soldiers of the Second Division."
Frowning slightly, the previous joy faded from his face, and Wang Zhaowu's expression was a little hesitant.
It was not that he was unwilling to delegate power. All the rights he had came from the marshal's trust. If Jiang Chen ordered him to hand over his military power, he would not hesitate at all. But what he doubts is that changing the command authority under the conditions of war can really have a positive effect
And although this Han Junhua has some abilities, after all, he once stood on the opposite side of NAC...
Wang Zhaowu did not give a reply, but grabbed the phone from the side and called the Marshal's Mansion through the dedicated line. Out of loyalty to NAC, he needed to ask Jiang Chen for instructions on the authenticity of the order.
The call was quickly connected.
However, what surprised him was that the order was indeed issued by Jiang Chen.
Give command to Han Junhua.
Jiang Chen repeated these words.
After hanging up the phone, Wang Zhaowu looked at the communications soldier and said in a deep voice.
"After my order, all combat units of the Second Division will completely obey the command of Chief of Staff Han!"
"Yes!" The communications soldier gave a military salute and immediately ran out of the command post.
Wang Zhaowu glanced at the holographic screen, sighed, and sat back in his chair.
In such a large-scale battle, and under a situation where both sides are equally matched in strength, his ability can only go so far.
I hope that the Chief of Staff, who was an officer before the war, can bring a slight turn to the war situation... (.)
