Chapter 116: The Disaster of Shanghai GDI

Shanghai is now the largest port in the Far East and the only city in the Yellow Zone of Asia with a population of more than 10 million. At this moment, we are shrouded in the haze of war that could break out at any time. As the only military stronghold of GDI in the Yellow District of China, it has become the biggest threat to the stable development of the new regime that Li Feng is establishing in the future!

In order to take this strategically important city without blood, Li Feng decided to block the GDI stationed in the area in all directions, and his purpose was to temporarily separate this base from the GDI global defense system. Create enough seclusion for the upcoming battle of the city.

This difficult task was naturally handed over to Noah, but it was very easy for her to completely paralyze all communications in the entire Shanghai area, including GDI. Because Noah used the opportunity of the other party's command and control system, Eva, to temporarily lose contact with the space network during this time when the Philadelphia space station crashed to Earth, he successfully rewrote the original code of these systems. In this way, it completely controls the huge spy satellite network covering the world that GDI has built up with a lot of time, energy and countless money, and the ultimate orbital weapon comparable to nuclear bombs in GDI -- satellite ion cannon array.

Although GDI quickly re-established control with these lost satellites soon after, they did not know that these satellites (including the particle cannon that GDI relied on) were secretly manipulated by Noah, and the other party seemed to have the first control of the power, but in fact it had already become the second-in-command who could be kicked out at any time.

In this case, the GDI defenders in the Shanghai area were naturally easily isolated completely. Later, taking advantage of the command confusion caused by the failure of the communication system in the city, the Wehrmacht, which had already been ready to complete the assembly, began to launch a large-scale urban siege against this well-defended city with a large number of GDI troops stationed under the cover of a large number of cannon fodder-level clone legions!

This battle was not a fair duel from the beginning, although the GDI side has nearly 100,000 troops, but in fact, less than 30% of the total number of battlefield veterans who have participated in large-scale battles against NOD, and the combat experience of the entire army is seriously insufficient. Although this GDI garrison has a large number of expensive and advanced weapons and equipment, it is a pity that their supreme commander is only a novice on the battlefield who has never experienced large-scale combat. This major general of GDI, a commander of Japanese descent, climbed to his current position by relying entirely on his family's power and silver bullet offensive. As a major general in the East, he did personally command several medium-sized battles and gained some battlefield experience. However, after all, the so-called experience gained by the Chinese warlords, who were not even third-rate in combat effectiveness, could hardly be compared with the battlefield situation in Shanghai now.

However, the above is not worth mentioning compared to the entire city's porous defense system, because in addition to the GDI base near the port deployed a large number of fortifications, the entire Shanghai city has not even built the most ordinary anti-infantry guard tower, and even more strange is that there is not even a patrol responsible for guarding the periphery of the city!

Many problems and the mutual interference of various factors made this war not as difficult as Li Feng imagined. In the early stage of the battle, the intensive cruise missile strikes on various military targets in the city also further reduced the overall difficulty of siege operations. Faced with an ultra-saturated attack of more than thousands of tactical cruise missiles, the GDI defenders in the Shanghai area were instantly thrown into disarray under this sudden blow. And to add insult to injury, the comrade of the major general who was a cheating father was unfortunate enough to be hit by a cruise missile that missed the first round of missile attacks {the missed is just the official version} and went to the residential area to blow up into the western sky! Ironically, the accuracy of the missile's hit has a lot to do with the network of spy satellites in space that were supposed to provide intelligence services for GDI.

When the major general died in a hurry, Li Feng didn't even know the name of the GDI major general with Japanese roots, and he was as shameless as a bento in the movie. It's a little too fast! Due to the accidental death of the Supreme Commander, the operational command system in the city collapsed in an instant. And this also made the GDI defenders in the city unable to get a unified command, and could only be in a situation of passive beating, powerless to resist.

At the same time, on the sea, a tight network of thousands of large and small ships lined up in a row completely controlled the thousands of large and small merchant ships anchored in various ports around Shanghai. Once a merchant ship tries to force its way out of the harbor, after three ineffective warnings, it will be sent to the bottom of the sea as a coral reef by missiles launched by some warships of this fleet. Under the effect of killing chickens and monkeys, those merchant ships that were originally a little restless were shocked at once. However, in order to ensure the absolute success of the blockade, a large number of new unmanned combat boats equipped with heavy machine guns and large-caliber machine guns, with the active cooperation of a large number of dolphin soldiers, began to carry out armed patrols in the harbor to prevent accidents. Under these circumstances, all the ports of Shanghai have been completely blocked and suppressed, and in the end the entire fleet has completed this important task very well.

However, this seemingly hand-to-hand combat operation was not always smooth sailing, and some of the advanced weapons equipped by GDI still caused a lot of casualties on the battlefield to the troops participating in this operation. Among them, in the early ground battle in the south, the tank group composed of dozens of sonic tanks left in the city almost did not turn the infantry units that attacked the city into piles of meat and mud, if it were not for the large number of heavy tank groups and air force fighters rushed to support under the cover of desperate death, I am afraid that the third clone infantry division would have completely disappeared from the combat sequence of the clone army.

And the luck of this armored force that broke into the city to relieve the siege was not much better, because it mistakenly underestimated the number of remnants of the GDI air force after the missile attack, so that the Black Hawk fighters that were originally used to gain air supremacy on the battlefield were seriously insufficient, and the battlefield situation quickly reversed in the face of the sudden appearance of dozens of Fire Eagle air supremacy fighters.

Although Li Feng sent at least hundreds of Black Hawk fighters to fight for air supremacy on the battlefield, in the face of the GDI Fire Eagle fighters with professional air supremacy, these Black Hawks, whose combat capabilities were biased towards ground attack, soon suffered a lot. Even though these Black Hawk fighters have been greatly modified and have been completely reborn. However, the innate design deficiency is not something that can be changed from the ground up by replacing some equipment and weapons. The Fire Hawk's anti-air ability is quite terrifying, and the fragility of protection can be completely compensated for by its strong maneuverability, and its calm and calm when hunting the NOD Venom fighter with ease proves that the Black Hawk and it are not opponents of the same level at all.

In this aerial battle, the Fire Eagle relied on its four powerful air-to-air missiles and somewhat deceptive stratus propulsion (able to escape to the stratosphere and reach any position on the battlefield at the most critical moment}, and effortlessly took out about three times its own number of enemies without losing a few fighters. The Black Hawk fighter's invincible shield system on the battlefield could only neutralize the explosive power of a giant air-to-air missile. If it weren't for the limited bomb load of these fighters, the Black Hawk would not be enough for them to kill! It's a pity that the opponent's main base in the direction of the harbor has long been almost destroyed by cruise missiles. It seems unrealistic for those fighters to replenish their ammo!

The gradual loss of air supremacy caused these tanks and combat vehicles to be subjected to a sudden combined strike on the ground by nearly 100 Predator tanks and dozens of Oka fighters that had evaded the early missile attack. While the 65-ton Predator tank with its 150 mm cannon is nothing to do with the extremely perverted Apocalypse tanks in this group, it is very easy to deal with the hammer tanks whose defense is clearly several levels different. And the powerful ground firepower of those Oka fighters constantly circling in the sky also caused a lot of trouble to the ground troops who were caught in tank battles at this time. Although these Oka fighters were soon shot down by the anti-aircraft missiles fired by a large number of anti-aircraft combat vehicles in the armored forces, the huge damage they had caused to the troops was already irreparable.

With the passage of time, the battles of troops in various places with the accurate fire support of cruise missiles have begun to change the originally unfavorable battlefield situation. And the straw that broke the camel's back was the Wehrmacht, which served as a reserve of 150,000 people. The battle, which lasted nearly 12 hours, ended in the early evening with the surrender of GDI, in which the new government led by Li Feng lost more than 156 Black Hawk fighters, more than 300 tanks and fighting vehicles of various types, and the Clone Legion, which was the main attack on the infantry side, lost more than 50,000 people, while the Wehrmacht lost less than 100 killed and thousands wounded. As for the GDI in Shanghai, except for more than 60,000 killed and more than 3,000 missing, the rest of the participants were captured. Nearly 185 warplanes of all types were lost (including 89 destroyed at the airport), 515 tanks and combat vehicles of all types were lost (including 213 destroyed by missiles in the early stage), and 60 percent of the buildings of the entire third-level military base were destroyed by missiles.

Judging from the results of the losses of both sides, Li Feng did not stand on much advantage. However, this is only a superficial result, because the biggest gain from this battle is to strategically eliminate the hidden dangers that may arise for the new regime in the future. At the same time, it has also achieved an excellent seaport that can continue to attract gold economically. Politically, the war completely built the prestige of the new government. As soon as the detained merchant ships leave the port, the whole world will soon be watching what is happening in the Shanghai area. However, Li Feng didn't plan to let them go so quickly, because he had other things to do!

At the same time, the Tenglong in the red zone of Sichuan, Noah is relying on the information in his hand to mass-produce all the weapons and equipment obtained by GDI and nod. As for its real purpose, it is probably intended to stage a fake offensive and defensive battle in Shanghai, so as to lure the Fifth Fleet, which is anchored in the port of Busan, and the Seventh Fleet, which is stationed in the direction of Okinawa, to come to the scene. Only by completely destroying these two fleets, I am afraid that I will not be interfered with by GDI and nod for a long time in the future.
