Chapter 434: Blitz on Land Seven
Dust billowed with a deafening roar of engines.
The steel tracks crushed over the hardened wasteland, making a rolling sound.
The tank formation, composed of all the armored forces of the NAC, led by the Prowler Tank, was like a sharp arrow, from Shenxiang Town to the No. 7 place between Wanghai City, Jia City.
It is the production base of mutants, and if it is captured, it means that the mutants will completely lose their ammunition supply. After freeing the slaves imprisoned in Land Seven, the First Corps will continue westward to crush the mutants entrenched in Jiashi!
Led by Prowler tanks, 8 Tiger Hunter IIs, 15 Raider infantry vehicles, 30 supply trucks, 2,300 soldiers, and two Y-51s, this is almost half of the NAC's belongings.
At this moment, in the assault infantry vehicle that was transformed into a command tower, Cheng Weiguo and Ma Zhongcheng sat opposite each other. In front of them was a holographic topographic map, the red mark on the map was the position of the mutants, and the arrow formation made of blue dots was the soldiers of the First Corps and the Stalker Corps.
According to the estimates of the forward scouts, the mutants deployed 9,000 troops in Jiashi, 80 anti-tank guns, 60 anti-aircraft machine guns, and more than 220 machine gun fire points. Ma Zhongcheng reported to Cheng Weiguo.
"It's really tough. Cheng Weiguo scolded secretly.
Because of the capture of Jia City, the number of mutants has increased significantly. Predictably, this will be an uphill battle.
Suddenly there was a bang in the distance.
A cannonball exploded next to a speeding Tiger II. The shrapnel whipped a tooth-sore crunch on the A-Beam, but it did not damage the armor. This was followed by several shells that fell into position, but did not hit any targets.
"Enemy anti-tank targets spotted!"
"The battle begins. Cheng Weiguo clicked on the headset. Said in a deep voice.
"Understood!"
Supply trucks loaded with infantry slowed down, causing the soldiers in the compartments to jump. Spread out and charge towards Seven. The soldiers sitting outside the infantry vehicle also jumped out of the vehicle, scattering and charging towards the mutant position with rifles in hand.
An armor-piercing round slammed into the front armor of the Prowler. was bounced aside without any suspense. Electromagnetic reactive armor that uses the Meissner effect can almost render most kinetic weapons (tank grade) using metal cannonballs ineffective! And even without this electromagnetic reactive armor, the 140 mm A-shaped steel armor is not penetrating by ordinary shells.
As the main gun, the Type 52 particle cannon shoots out a dark blue ball of light, which explodes like fireworks after hitting the target, instantly disintegrating the anti-tank gun behind the enemy's cover. As a coaxial secondary gun, the 2kg rapid-fire electromagnetic cannon constantly flashes in arcs, and the projectiles with 8 times the speed of sound easily break the house into several pieces. Before the mutants lurking inside the building could scream, they were toppled along with the house itself.
It's like a mobile fortress!
Compared to the sparkle of the Prowler tank, the "homegrown-produced" Tiger Hunter II is slightly inferior, but facing mutants without armor protection. The front armor with a thick face and a fierce electromagnetic cannon are still more than enough.
The Type 50 electromagnetic cannon continuously poured 5kg mass bullets into the mutants' positions, and in an instant, the first line of defense built by the mutants was shattered.
The defensive line was breached, and the assault infantry vehicles immediately picked up speed, rushed out of the tank formation in the front row, and rushed into the No. 7 Industrial Park. Rotor machine guns mounted on the roof of the car spew tongues of fire, large-caliber ammunition frantically harvested the mutant soldiers behind the bunkers, and constantly dropped thermal and electromagnetic decoy missiles from the side of the car.
The induced homing rocket immediately tilted towards the position of the decoy missile like a blind fly. Instead of a tracking rocket. But it could not be hit because of the high speed of the infantry vehicle.
For a while, rockets flew in the park, and instead of hitting a single infantry vehicle, they injured many mutants themselves.
The infantry vehicles that broke into the park cleared the anti-tank guns and anti-aircraft machine guns lying in ambush behind the bunkers in the shortest possible time. Paved the way for the entry of tank units. At the same time, the Hunter Corps, dressed in power armor and mechanical exoskeletons, broke into the mutants' first line of defense, working with the disembarking infantry squad to clear the remnants of the enemy huddled in the ruins.
The only vehicle casualties were only two Raider infantry vehicles. One was damaged by an anti-tank mine. The other was unfortunately hit by a non-homing rocket in the side armor.
However, compared to the results achieved, the sacrifice was undoubtedly worth it. A total of 17 anti-tank guns were destroyed or captured. 31 quadruple anti-aircraft machine guns, killing more than 2,000 mutants. The remnants of the enemy fled to the second line of defense.
"The first line of defense is taken!"
The squad leader on the front line conveyed the battle situation back to the conning tower, looking at the entangled red and blue dots on the holographic map, Cheng Weiguo looked at Ma Zhongcheng.
"Drop drones. ”
“OK。 Ma Zhongcheng took out the tablet and tapped a few keys with his fingers.
The second line of defense is built around the intricate complex of buildings in the industrial park, where even infantry vehicles cannot travel at high speeds. The mutant soldiers stationed around this corner are armed with a large number of unguided individual rockets, as well as sticky explosives. While these things can't hurt the Prowler, they pose a considerable threat to Tiger Hunter II and infantry vehicles.
The side armor and chrysanthemums are both weak points of the Tiger II, and it is difficult to guarantee that it will not break down if it is fired at close range by an anti-tank rocket.
Therefore, the task of supporting the infantry to attack the second line of defense can only be done by drones!
After receiving the order, the two Yunzhi-51s hovering in the outer airspace immediately approached the first line of defense that had been breached, and then dropped two long containers towards the ground.
The blue arc flashed, and under the reverse jet of the slow descending device, the "container" about 5 meters long slammed into the second line of defense. One box was stuck in the street, and the other was stuck on the roof of a building.
The memory metal cabinet unfolded abruptly on impact, revealing a hive-like hole in the outer shell and freeing the hummingbird drone docked inside the hive.
Weng's reputation even overshadowed the sound of gunfire, and in the face of the disc-sized "hummingbird" drone attack group, the mutants had to use their rifles and machine guns to frantically vent their firepower, but with little effect.
Centered on the "hive" that acts as a drone terminal, hundreds of agile hummingbirds roam the streets and alleys, harvesting the lives of mutants. Even though the mutants are wearing heavy C-shaped steel front armor, they can't withstand the drone's rear explosion. Encountering a drone in a street fight, without an EMP weapon, is nothing short of a massacre.
And apparently, the mutants in Land Seven didn't prepare too much EMP!
When the hive landed, the built-in terrain scanning system had already logged in 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 power armors followed closely behind to break through the second line of defense, and with the coordination of light infantry, fierce street battles with mutants.
The orange-yellow trajectory lit up almost the entire park, and in the face of the ferocious offensive of the First Corps, the mutants who were entrenched in this place were defeated and retreated.
The infantry had completely cleared the second line of anti-aircraft fire, at which point the Yunzhi-51 stepped forward and rained a nightmare called death on the mutants with a Type 50 electromagnetic cannon. No cover could hold itself under the weight of the 10kg mass bomb, and although the lead mutants armed with power hammers and the self-detonating mutants armed with miniature nuclear bombs caused some casualties to the infantry involved in street fighting, the mutants were unable to turn the tide of the battle.
The second line of defense was overcome, and the tank continued to advance, capturing the soldiers of the anti-tank gun from the mutants, and aiming the muzzles at the third line of defense of the mutants, which was the last line of defense of the mutants.
No. 7 electronic products factory to build!
The high-tech factory, which covers an area of 1,500 acres, stands out in the entire No. 7 Industrial Park. It is precisely because of its stand out from the crowd that it was chosen as a resident by mutants. The perimeter of the factory was walled, and the inner factory was fortified by mutants.
The fortress was impassable to Xenos and most of the survivors, but not to NAC.
The castle in the eyes of mutants is destined to become their grave!
After occupying the second line of defense, the 1st Corps poured 1,000 shells into the factory, almost destroying the walls and main buildings of the factory.
After the scrubbing, the infantry vehicle carrying the drone terminal on its back moved forward with the power armor, followed by soldiers with rifles, engaged in a fierce exchange of fire with the mutants in the factory.
The battle was extremely fierce.
For both sides, the concept of surrender does not exist in this battle.
Because humans and mutants are not the same species at all!
After six hours of fierce fighting, the soldiers of the First Corps finally killed the last mutant and planted the NAC flag on the roof of the half-collapsed factory building, declaring the victory in the Battle of Land Seven! )
