Chapter 442: The Western Front Dilemma
West.
On the outskirts of Jiashi, 6 kilometers away from the Jiashi Sports Center, Cheng Weiguo set up a temporary combat headquarters here.
At this moment, he was standing in front of the holographic map, pointing at the main roads on the map with his fingers, and then took out an attacking red arrow and gave orders to his team.
"Attention 8 teams. The mutants have deployed a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns in the foxholes in Sanshuiwan Park, and your mission is to break through the lines of the mutant infantry and take out their anti-aircraft machine gun positions along this route. Got it!"
"Understood!"
"Attention to the 5 teams, from the damn. Cheng Weiguo raised his head and looked at the orange-yellow light that exploded in the air in the distance.
Wide-area electromagnetic interference bombs that can interrupt radio communications in the area within an hour.
With a secret curse, Cheng Weiguo slammed the headset full of noise on the table and sat back in the chair. This kind of radio communication shielding is effective for both the enemy and us, and without command, the troops fighting on the front line can only maintain their current deployment and fight independently.
This boring trick can only stall for time, and neither side can redeploy its forces. However, it seems that the mutants don't need to make any new deployments, and as the defender, all they need to do is hold on.
The sound of artillery fire in the distance continued, which made Cheng Weiguo upset for a while. The mutants' delaying tactics unnerved him.
There are quite a few good things in the hands of this mutant, and it seems that the Twilight Church is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Soon, a messenger with a rifle ran up to him.
Taking a deep breath, Cheng Weiguo said to him.
"Inform the 4 teams. Advance along Nanxi Road to the intersection"
Unlike the topography of Wanghai City, the river-crisscrossing environment of Jiashi makes it easy to defend and difficult to attack. And the Chiashi Sports Center, which serves as a command base for mutants. It is also surrounded by layers of rivers.
In order to resist the offensive of the 1st NAC Corps, the mutants learned to be smart again. They blew up the bridges of all rivers. Then the turtle cowered within the defensive line. And these rivers, however, caused a lot of trouble for the armored units of the NAC.
On the first day of the attack, 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, and Wang Zhaowu really took a lot of effort to allow the armored troops to pass through the river.
First the artillery bombarded the mutant defenders on the other side of the river, then the infantry stepped forward to build a pontoon bridge, and after occupying the other side of the river, the armored forces passed.
The tanks crossed the river, and the situation was instantly much more optimistic. The armored vanguard opened the way, followed by the infantry.
Racing all the way to conquer the city for four kilometers, the mutants abandoned their armor and fled in a hurry.
Soon, however, the situation became serious again.
As they entered the city, the number of rivers increased instead of decreasing, and the advance of the armored forces was again blocked.
The fiasco at Land Seven somewhat made the mutants aware of the ferocity of the NAC's armored forces, so they deployed along the river and stuck to the strategy of street fighting. This mutant entrenched in Jia City is many times more difficult than those mutants in Land Seven.
Aside from the annoying anti-tank guns and mortars, mutants don't even know where to get a tactical nuclear bomb. More than two hundred light infantry without armor protection fell in an instant, and Tiger Hunter II also broke down.
Fortunately, the people who died were basically recruits recruited from the capture of No. 7, and Cheng Weiguo only frowned, but he was not particularly distressed.
It's not distressing, it's not distressing. But the battle was scorching. In order to prevent mutants and tactical nuclear bombs from being useless, Cheng Weiguo had to choose to stretch the front and abandon the strategy of group attack.
These mutants. There must be humans in command!
There are about 20,000 mutants entrenched in Jiashi, five times the number of the First Corps. Although the 1st Corps was armed with a large number of heavy firepower weapons, as well as armored units. But because of the criss-crossing rivers, it is still caught in a bitter battle.
"The blitzkrieg offensive was blocked. The 1st Corps may not be able to conquer Jiashi in the short term. Han Junhua said with his arms crossed, looking at the holographic map.
"I said a long time ago that fighting on two fronts is crazy. ”
Sun Jiao glanced at her mouth and farted. Strands sat down on the couch.
"Didn't you consider that mutants might blow up the bridge?" Jiang Chen asked as he looked at Han Junhua.
"A total of 217 bridges were blown up. According to the PAC's quality standards for ordinary road bridges, blowing up a bridge requires placing at least 600 kg of explosives in the supporting structure. Han Junhua said lightly.
130。 2 tons of explosives, this mutant is too much to supply.
"Grass, where did those beasts get so much explosives. Sun Jiao couldn't help but scolded fiercely.
130 tons, even if the entire sixth block is looted, I am afraid that I will not be able to get so many explosives. Even if the Church of Twilight has a lot of financial resources, they are a force that migrated from the Northern Unified Region after all, so there is no reason why they would carry so many things with them.
"Maybe not explosives. Jiang Chen said suddenly.
Han Junhua and Sun Jiao looked at Jiang Chen together, and suddenly, Sun Jiao seemed to suddenly understand something.
"Yajing!"
"That's right, Sun Xiaorou said that her ability was induced through genetic engineering, not simply by drinking genetic medicine. That said, her abilities are not unique in the Church of Twilight. Jiang Chen said with a solemn face.
The ability to detonate subcrystals.
As we all know, mutants and humans are mortal enemies of each other, and the two sides only exist in plunder and slavery, and there is no trade. And they basically obtain food by hunting aliens, and in the past ten years, they must have accumulated a large number of unusable subcrystals in their hands.
Others can't afford it, but mutants don't care.
"What are you talking about?" Han Junhua looked at the two of them, puzzled.
Jiang Chen and Sun Jiao glanced at each other, and then told Han Junhua about Sun Xiaorou.
I saw Han Junhua lower his head and pondered for a moment.
"One question I've ever wondered why the Twilight Church is able to partner with mutants. Have you ever asked Sun Xiaorou?"
Sun Jiao shook her head, she wouldn't let her sister recall that memory.
Han Junhua looked at Jiang Chen with an inquiring gaze.
"Mutants need to improve the FEV virus to reproduce, and the Church of Twilight needs Eden technology from Vault 05. The interests of both sides are the same, and eventually the Church of Twilight will roll out of the earth without leaving a trace, so there will be no conflict between the two sides in the future. Jiang Chen organized the known information in his mind and stated it simply.
"The Eden Project? When I was the division commander of the Seventy-First Mechanic, I heard that a certain national research institute in Wanghai City was in charge of this research. It is said that once the technological breakthrough is successful, the problem of alien colonization can be solved. Han Junhua pinched his chin and said to himself.
"What if the FEV virus was given to mutants and let them fight on their own?" Sun Jiao suggested.
"No way. Once this is done, the short-term trouble is gone, but the long-term trouble is great. Jiang Chen smiled bitterly.
He considered the question, but quickly rejected it. Mutants who have escaped the shackles of reproductive function do not need to rely on capturing and captive humans to reproduce the race, which will be a disaster for the survivors of the entire wasteland.
I have to admit that ugly mutants are indeed better suited to this soil. It can chew dead claw meat that is more toxic than rat poison and eat raw mutated fruits that do not need to be processed. If the state still gains fertility, then human beings really can't live.
Suddenly, Han Junhua raised his head and looked at Jiang Chen.
"Let's find Vault 05 first, and then give Project Eden to the Church of Twilight, so that they lose their motivation to control Wanghai City. Without the supply of foreign aid and the arms production line in Seven, the mutants will be defeated. (To be continued.) )
