Chapter 55: Recovering the Origins of the Province
The electromagnetic cannon only needs cheap metal projectiles and sufficient electrical energy to form a metal frenzy that sweeps everything without limit, and in the short period of time since the start of the major counteroffensive, hundreds of millions of tons of steel have been smashed on the battlefield.
These metal projectiles are scattered around the battlefield, and most of them can be recycled. When the time comes, you only need to re-enter the furnace and simply shape it, and you can put it into the battlefield again.
Under this rain of bullets, the undead relied on the numerical superiority of the necromantic army, and without hesitation, continued to order the necromantic heavy cavalry to charge forward recklessly.
The army of the Fallen Demon followed, pressing up from the rear and from both flanks towards the army's tank clusters. The overwhelming metal projectiles never stopped pouring like a torrential rain in the middle of summer. The Sinking Demons fell to the ground in batches towards the broken and scattered parts, and the rain of bullets from the electromagnetic cannon against these low-level demonic creatures with the same strength as cannon fodder was like harvesting leeks one by one.
With such a terrifying harvesting speed, waves of resurrection techniques from the sinking mages in the rear were indiscriminately thrown into the sea of corpses in front of them, but the effect was very limited. On the one hand, the offensive of the metal frenzy is too intensive, and many of the Sinking Demons have been beaten to pieces, and there is no chance of resurrection. And even if a small part of the body is intact, even if it is sparsely re-established, it will soon fall again.
The cannon fire continued to extend to the rear, and the rain of metal bullets soon covered the group of sinking mages in the rear, and in an instant, those sinking mages also followed in the footsteps, turning into stumps and broken arms and fell to the ground.
Seeing this, the undead immediately pressed the lich mage at the bottom of the box ****, only to see the yin wind summoned by the necromancer accompanied by a strange gray mist, and batches of soot skeletons crawled out of the corpse of the fallen demon in pieces, and continued to advance slowly and firmly forward with staggering steps.
After approaching the undead line for ten kilometers, the army's tank cluster charge slowly halted the offensive to prevent it from breaking through to Taiqian and being surrounded by the undead army.
The undead took advantage of the situation to push the battle line back a part, and the defensive positions of the two sides fought a fierce tug-of-war, and for a while, the military delayed the offensive when the battle line extended beyond the range of the electromagnetic cannon, and the undead's counterattack also began. In this way, the two sides went back and forth on the front line, and every inch of land changed hands repeatedly in the fierce battle between the undead and the military, and every inch of land was soaked with blood and unwilling souls.
The fierce tug-of-war lasted for more than three hours, and the military's electromagnetic cannon was finally pulled to the front line. The power of nuclear fusion requires ultra-high voltage power transmission, and the operation of electromagnetic guns also requires ultra-high voltage power supply. In this case, ordinary copper wires are completely incompetent for power transmission, and only silver, which has a higher level of conductivity, can be used as wire materials.
The military has been preparing for this major counteroffensive for more than a month, and as soon as the wires and electromagnetic cannon firing nests prepared in advance have stabilized on the battle line, they immediately lay wires to the front line and erect new electromagnetic gun positions.
As soon as the electromagnetic cannon position was arranged, the metal frenzy that had finally stopped was pouring down frantically towards the undead position again.
The nightmare came again, and in just half an hour, the military once again sprinkled hundreds of millions of tons of steel projectiles, and the undead had to slowly retreat after paying a heavy price.
After continuing to advance for a while, the military continued to do the same trick and stopped again. Ammunition was recovered, wires were erected, and electromagnetic gun positions were re-established. With the support of endless energy sources, the military has completely grasped the initiative in the war.
This one-sided rout lasted only more than half a month, and the military had already recovered the entire territory of Yuanshou Province. Of course, the entire Yuanshou Province has been completely turned into ruins at this time, and the nuclear weapons with a total amount of tens of millions of tons have turned the entire Yuanshou Province upside down.
The province of Genshou was retaken, and although it had little impact on the war situation, a province like a nuclear ruin could no longer provide much resources for Kyoto. But politically and in the hearts of the military, this is of great significance.
Since the April Fools' Day offensive, this is the first time that the military has actually regained lost ground. Not only Kyoto, but the whole of China was plunged into a great jubilation. The dawn of victory finally appeared on the distant horizon, although it was still far away, but at least it made people see a glimmer of hope in this long dark night.
In the very core of Kyoto's underground, a huge nuclear fusion reactor is quietly running. The heat released by the fusion of deuterium and tritium is tens of millions of degrees Celsius, and this energy keeps the fusion chain reaction running, and at the same time transmits the excess heat and converts it into electricity, providing energy for the whole of Kyoto.
Nuclear fusion power stations are being dismantled, and the ground in Kyoto is brightly lit. With ample electricity, Kyoto has solved its water problem by continuously purifying seawater. The quality of life of more than 30 million people in Kyoto has changed dramatically.
After the capture of Yuanshou Province, the pace of the military's counteroffensive immediately slowed down. Now that the fusion power plant has been built, the next step is to stabilize the front and start large-scale infrastructure construction. Electromagnetic cannon launch nests, large-caliber electromagnetic railguns, large land-based laser weapons. These big killers began to be arranged in a frenzy.
After the first round of counterattacks, the undead did not shoot directly. And Zhuang Yichen, who has always guarded the electromagnetic cannon position, and the other members of the seventh team are like a sightseeing group, just walking around the battlefield, and they can't show any sense of existence.
Zhuang Yichen didn't react to this, but was happy. And some of the other members of the seventh team were already screaming excitedly, constantly reporting to the front line.
A gust of wind carried the whistling radiation dust cloud on a pale cyan light shield, and the soft wind element gently shrouded Zhuang Yichen and Qi Han's side, silently pushing those gray-black radiation dust clouds to both sides.
Zhuang Yichen held Qi Han's hand and sat in a small town more than a hundred kilometers away from Kyoto. The town had been reduced to ruins by the shock wave of nuclear weapons, and he and Qi Han sat on the roof of the town's last tallest building, quietly watching the wilderness in the distance stretch into the distance under the gray sky.
