The war has lasted for half a month, and it is already mid-December.
The Liantong District and the two sides of the Yangtze River in Wuhan are in a stalemate. As the snowfall in the sky becomes heavier and heavier, if nothing unexpected happens, this stalemate may continue to exist.
If nothing unexpected happens
Snow piled up into small mounds on the street. Soldiers from the United Command District carrying rifles sat in the street station, scanning the street with vigilant eyes from time to time. Next to him is a Prowler tank that has just completed supplies, and an infantry team responsible for protecting the tank.
His name is Shi Wenqiang, and he is the captain of this infantry team.
Last time, the Stalker Corps used a tactical nuclear bomb to blow up a Prowler tank that was being replenished. The joint patrols in the occupied area have obviously increased a lot.
Snipers are ambushing every corner of the city, and infantry are also patrolling the ground. The mutants even brought out mutant hounds and searched the streets for living people except for soldiers from the joint command area. These malformed hounds and life signal detection devices are the two nemesis of optical invisibility, which really brings a lot of trouble to the guerrilla operations of the Stalker Corps.
"To be honest, I hate working with those green idiots." A bearded soldier walked up to Shi Wenqiang with a rifle, took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, looking at the man who happened to be passing by. The mutant patrol on this section of the road, “I always feel like they look at me like they’re looking at food.”
"You'd better keep your voice down, I heard they have good hearing," Shi Wenqiang grinned, took the cigarette from his comrade, took out a lighter and lit it for himself, "But I agree with you. But who cares? What? As long as they can break this hard bone for me."
At this moment, a gunshot was heard in the distance.
Shi Wenqiang frowned, put out the cigarette he had not taken two puffs on, and stuffed it back into his pocket.
In order to reduce the threat of shelling, the troops in the joint command area are widely dispersed in the city and rarely stay in a fixed location for too long. This also means that they have a high probability of encountering guerrillas.
"It's about a thousand meters away from here." At this time, the soldier who had been squatting on the roadside and had been silent suddenly said, "It's approaching, and there is the sound of vehicles."
Everyone skillfully loaded their rifles and moved closer to the Prowler tank. Shi Wenqiang slammed his fist on the tank armor and spoke through the headset.
"Get up, it's time to work."
The Prowler next to him responded to his words with the roar of its engine starting up. The tank drove forward two or three meters and stood across the entrance of the road. Shi Wenqiang gestured to the soldier next to him, telling him to move to the bunker next to him and set up a light machine gun fire point.
The gunshots across the street gradually became more intensive, and Shi Wenqiang vaguely felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
At this moment, a hoarse roar floated from the shopping mall on the street. A mutant covered in blood stumbled into the street, but before he could take two steps, he was beaten to death by bullets fired from behind.
"Use the coaxial electromagnetic gun to fire on the first floor of the shopping mall." Shi Wenqiang said calmly.
"receive."
The Prowler tank turned its turret, and the coaxial rapid-fire electromagnetic gun next to the Type 52 particle cannon suddenly ejected high-speed projectiles, breaking the mall's door and the wall into several sections. The gunfire in the mall was suppressed, but before Shi Wenqiang had time to breathe a sigh of relief, a dense barrage of bullets came from directly across the street, almost catching his team off guard.
He retreated behind the tank, with a sneer on his lips, skillfully released the reconnaissance drone from his backpack, and marked the riflemen across the street through the tablet terminal.
"court death!"
The Prowler slowly moved the turret and pointed the barrel towards the group of soldiers.
Any ground target, whether soft or hard, is a vulnerable paper tiger in front of the Prowler. There is no way to defeat the Prowler on the frontal battlefield. In the face of absolute technological superiority, all so-called tactics are in vain.
Shi Wenqiang firmly believes in this.
However, his disdainful sneer quickly solidified on his face.
Directly opposite him, directly behind the gun barrel of the Prowler tank. A strange-looking tank without a turret crashed into the wall and drove onto the street. The ferocious barrel was already pointed here.
tank? How could there be a tank? !
All the cross-river bridges that can pass through the Yangtze River in Wu City were blown up. Armored units were unable to pass through the ice. This was not just for the United Unified District, but also for the defenders.
That was theoretically true, but he clearly hadn't considered airships.
"hidden!"
Yelling at his comrades who were also leaning against the tank, Shi Wenqiang took the lead and rushed to the bunker on the side.
He didn't think the tank without a turret could pose any threat to the Prowler. However, for infantry like them, any armored unit that went behind the "bunker" was a fatal threat.
However, his blind confidence in the Prowler also did not last long.
The dazzling white light flashed, and the shells like ball lightning were instantly imprinted on the body of the Prowler tank. The thick armor had no effect at all. The plasma with a temperature of tens of millions of degrees melted through the armor's outer shell in an instant.
The word fear was burned so deeply into his face that he forgot about the sting in his eyes. Drones with guns mounted on them poured out from across the street like a tide, and the soldiers squatting behind the bunkers also began to charge.
The longbowmen's coaxial machine guns suppressed them behind the bunker. They couldn't even raise their heads, let alone fight back against the charging ones.
A deep despair arose in Shi Wenqiang's heart.
"Captain, what should we do!" A young man squatting behind the concrete bunker looked at him with horror on his face.
He took out the grenade, but after hesitating for a while, Shi Wenqiang finally stuffed the grenade back.
Even the Type 52 particle cannon cannot penetrate the Prowler's armor with just one hit.
Obviously, it has mastered directed energy weapons that are better than the previous ones.
When he saw the Prowler's armor being punctured like window paper, he had already lost most of his fighting spirit. If it loses its armor advantage and faces a supply disadvantage, the First Army has no chance of winning at all.
"Surrender throw the rifle out of the bunker, along with the pistol."
After saying this word in humiliation, he abandoned his dignity and threw away the rifle in his hand. He cut a white strip from the polar camouflage sleeve with a dagger, tied it to the barrel of the rifle and punched it out.
Seeing the boss surrendering, the soldiers lying behind the bunker, instead of looking at him with contempt, actually breathed a sigh of relief.
They are not military officers and have no interest in the so-called orthodoxy. They follow the Joint Command just to survive in this cruel wasteland.
After the white flag was raised, the suppressive fire from the machine guns stopped.
The soldiers did not embarrass them, handcuffed them skillfully, handed them over to mercenaries, and sent them to a stronghold outside the war zone. The drone formation circled into the building next to the street, and the longbowmen were back on the road. Following the infantry, they continued to advance toward the hinterland of the 1st Army Corps 1 occupied area.
Since they entered Wu City, four Prowlers have been destroyed. Counting the one that was blown up by a nuclear bomb earlier, there are only eight Prowlers left in the First Legion.
And here, there are thirty Longbowmen and one is still intact!
Although I don’t know how long this tactic of “infantry attracts firepower and tanks explode” will succeed, one thing is certain.
The offensive and defensive positions of both sides have seemed to have been reversed!
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone, spend more time with your family.
