Chapter 449: Siege of the Sports Center
Mutants have a fatal weakness, which is that their massive bodies can't even stuff themselves into a car. Although they always proudly refer to themselves as mobile armor and hang steel plates on their chests, this is not a helpless move.
If it weren't for the Twilight Church, they wouldn't even be able to handle the trucks they used for transportation.
In the early engagements with the Fishbone Base, they learned the "cart-to-cart cannon" tactic of loading cannons onto trucks, but when facing the Tiger II, this rudimentary "high-mobility anti-tank gun" became a joke.
One of the most common anti-tank guns in the wasteland is the Type 99, which was dismantled from the main guns of the Type 99 light tanks that had been installed on a large scale before the war. However, the Type 99 shells could not penetrate the thick front armor of the Tiger II, and at most broke the tracks and damaged the observation holes. However, the Tiger Hunter II can disassemble it into parts with a 5kg mass bullet along with the cannon.
So the self-aware mutants did not send out armored units at all, but chose to dismantle the artillery and lay in ambush in the firing crater.
It is precisely because of this that the 1st Corps did not encounter resistance from the "armored forces" along the way.
At the end of the 8-hour scrubbing, 20,000 shells were poured on the positions of 20,000 mutants, and the flames ignited by the high temperature burned in the war zone, and even the steel in the entire war zone melted into molten iron. The city was not directly hit by a nuclear explosion, and the paint, organic decoration materials, etc., of the buildings, which had not yet been consumed, were all ignited in the NAC's rocket cover, emitting toxic black smoke.
High temperatures, poisonous gases, ruins.
Many mutants died not from being buried alive or from explosions, but from subsequent fires and suffocation.
The rocket is pouring out. Jiang Chen and Cheng Weiguo came to the NAC position.
When the soldiers saw the marshal coming, they raised their guns and burst into enthusiastic cheers.
How is prestige established?
When everyone is hesitating and hesitating, facing an impregnable fortress that cannot be attacked for a long time, you stand in front of them. Because of your arrival, the impregnable fortress has also collapsed.
Then at this time, you are the hero.
All glory belongs to you.
It doesn't even take too many words.
After all, it's not logic that ignites the fire of the cult of personality. It's emotions!
Facing the soldiers who were whistling and cheering for victory, Jiang Chen smiled and raised his hand to signal that they didn't need to be polite, the war was not over yet, keep an eye on their position, and wait for the order to charge.
After walking around the position, and after making a familiar face in front of the soldiers, Jiang Chen took Cheng Weiguo to stand in the center of the position, admiring the fire.
This is no longer war.
With absolute firepower superiority, it was more like a massacre.
"How long do you estimate this fire will burn?" Jiang Chen asked casually.
"If it doesn't rain. I'm afraid it will burn until tomorrow. Cheng Weiguo looked up at the dark clouds in the sky and said.
"Then let the soldiers rest for a while, they won't be able to fight for a while. After explaining, Jiang Chen turned around and walked in the direction of the command car.
"Yes!" Cheng Weiguo gave a military salute, took out the command board and began to order.
The fire was raging, but it took a turn for the worse in the early hours of the morning.
Perhaps it was the wailing of the mutants that grieved the mercy of the heavens, and a few raindrops fell from the sky. Seeing this, Cheng Weiguo immediately summoned the soldiers who had finished recuperating and prepared to issue the order to charge.
Gradually. The rain was getting heavier.
Raindrops the size of beans poured down from the sky and hit the fire. Hit on the mud ground......
Rising from the red-hot steel, the steel shell of the automaton armor slipped off.
"Charge!"
There was a loud shout over the radio channel, and the front of the 1st Corps began to move slowly.
The electromagnetic ejection of the mortar sounded, and more than a dozen flares were lifted into the air, decorating the vicinity of the sports center with orange-red flames as bright as day.
The armored troops crossed the river without any suspense, and the steel boots of the power armor extinguished the little spark. Towards the gymnasium.
The heavy rain washed away the dust and haze on the ground and cooled the dead bodies. The soldiers who walked by with rifles couldn't help but hold their breath, and the pungent smell of barbecue in the air couldn't be washed away even by heavy rain.
It wasn't just mutants who died under the rockets, but tens of thousands of captive Chiashi survivors. But in the last days when human affection is weak. Even the former Rebel Alliance soldiers rescued by the First Corps from Ground Seven did not leave a single tear for those who died.
Death is all too normal.
More than 3,000 soldiers surrounded the standstill sports center, ready to clear the last remnants of the enemy.
1,000 sappers were also issued rifles by Cheng Weiguo, searching for and rescuing possible surviving human captives in the rubble, and recovering mutants who were not dead.
It has to be said that the vitality of mutants is tenacious.
Even in such a hell, there are occasional survivors.
Jiang Chen, who was sitting on the top cover of Tiger Hunting II and wearing a mechanical exoskeleton, heard an angry roar from afar.
In the pouring rain, a swarthy mutant shook away the rubble that was pressing on his body, brandished the power hammer in his hand, and played golf as if hammering a sapper into the sky.
Lead mutants!
The three sappers next to him raised their rifles in horror and vented their fire on the lead, but the leaping sparks clearly told the futility of all this.
Looking at the swarthy figure wordlessly, this leadened mutant evoked a not-so-good memory for Jiang Chen.
Reach out in the fart. There was a pat on the turret under the thigh, and the Tiger Hunter II immediately understood.
The body stopped, and the turret began to turn.
When Jiang Chen made eye contact with the mutant two hundred meters away, he farted. The turret sitting at the bottom of the thigh shook violently.
A dark blue arc of light erupted, and the electromagnetic cannon was discharged.
The 5kg mass bomb shattered the raindrops, creating a trail in the shape of a white mist in the rain. When the white mist lifted, the leaden mutant was left with a rotting piece of flesh.
The three rescued sappers sat up from the ground and waved their hands to Jiang Chen, expressing their gratitude.
Jiang Chen just smiled and raised his hand, and then motioned for Tiger Hunter II to move on.
Through the rain curtain, the soldiers of the 1st Corps had already surrounded the sports center and engaged in an exchange of fire with mutant troops in the street 300 meters in front of the sports center. When the Tiger Hunter II that Jiang Chen was sitting in drove close to the front line, he jumped out of the car.
The power armor 20 meters in front of him is holding up a machine gun, venting fire on the mutants' positions.
The war has been carried out to such a one-sided point, to be honest, Jiang Chen actually wants to wear power armor to have a good time. However, when he saw a few individual rockets flying by, one of which crashed the power armor into the shop on the street, Jiang Chen still gave up this plan.
This is not the present world after all, and power armor is not invincible.
In the distance, several sappers ran forward, braving a hail of bullets to drag the power armor and the wounded out.
Walking to the shed next to the command car, Jiang Chen took off his helmet and shook off the rain, found Cheng Weiguo and asked.
"How's the situation at the front?"
"The closing stage was really *** enjoyable. Cheng Weiguo said with a smile.
He had never fought such a good fight.
Jiang Chen grinned.
This ***, all that is spilled is Lao Tzu's banknotes, 40 million dollars to buy the lives of 20,000 mutants. If this still doesn't work, then he really doesn't know what to say.
"After occupying Jiashi, leaving 1,000 people to defend, people from the Hangzhou Merchant Federation may send someone to inquire about the situation. However, seeing the tragic situation on this battlefield, it is estimated that they will not have any crooked thoughts. Rest for the night, and turn around tomorrow morning to support Wanghai Cityโ"
Boom!
The sound of an explosion in the distance suddenly interrupted Jiang Chen's words.
Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, then immediately put on his helmet and rushed out of the command shed-
(I'm going to start my internship today, and the thought of having to run into a ravine to see the rocks makes me feel a pang of despair.) I heard that the conditions are extremely difficult, what 20 people in a dormitory, there is no place to take a shower and so on. But don't worry, it's definitely not, but if there is a little fluctuation in the update time, I hope you readers will have a lot of sea...... Tใ T) (To be continued.) )
