Mutants have a fatal weakness, that is, their huge bodies cannot even fit themselves into a car.
Although they always proudly call themselves mobile armor and hang steel plates on their chests, this is actually a helpless move.
If the Church of Dusk hadn't modified the truck for them, they wouldn't even be able to drive a transportation vehicle.
In the early battles with the Ming Dynasty survivor base, they learned the "cannon-carrying" tactic of loading cannons onto trucks. However, when facing the Hunter Tiger II, this simple "highly mobile anti-tank gun" became
Got a joke.
The more common anti-tank gun in the wasteland is the Type 99, which was disassembled from the main gun of the Type 99 light tank that was installed on a large scale before the war. However, the Type 99 shells cannot penetrate the thick front armor of the Hunter Tiger II.
Most of the tracks are broken and the observation holes are damaged. However, a 5kg mass bomb of the Jagdtiger II can dismantle the gun and the vehicle into parts.
Therefore, the self-aware mutants did not send out armored troops at all, but chose to dismantle the cannon and ambush it in the firing pit.
It is precisely because of this that the First Corps encountered no resistance from "armored forces" along the way.
The eight-hour sweep was over. 20,000 artillery shells were poured on the position of 20,000 mutants. Flames ignited by high temperatures burned fiercely in the war zone, and even the steel in the entire war zone melted into molten iron.
Jia City did not directly encounter a nuclear explosion. The paint, organic decoration materials, etc. of the buildings have not been consumed. At this moment, they were all ignited in the rocket coverage of the New Daming, emitting toxic black smoke.
High temperature, toxic gas, ruins.
Many mutants died not from being buried alive or from explosions, but from subsequent fires and suffocation.
After the rockets poured out, Zhu Tian and Zhou Weiguo arrived at the new Ming Dynasty position.
When the soldiers saw the marshal arriving in person, they raised their guns and burst into cheers.
How is prestige established?
When everyone was hesitant and unable to conquer the unbreakable fortress, you stood in front of them. Because of your arrival, the unbreakable fortress also collapsed.
Then at this time, you are a hero.
All glory belongs to you.
It doesn't even require too many words.
After all, it is not logic that ignites the fire of personality cult, but emotion!
Facing the soldiers who were whistling and cheering for victory, Zhu Tian smiled and raised his hand to indicate that they did not need to be polite. The war was not over yet. They should keep an eye on their position and wait for the order to charge.
After walking around the position and getting familiar with the soldiers, Zhu Tian led Zhou Weiguo to stand in the center of the position and admired the prairie fire.
This is no longer a war.
With the absolute firepower advantage, it was more like a massacre.
"How long do you think the fire will last?" Zhu Tian asked casually.
"If it doesn't rain, I'm afraid it will burn until tomorrow." Zhou Weiguo looked up at the dark clouds in the sky and said.
"Then let the soldiers rest for a while. We won't be able to fight for a while." After the explanation, Zhu Tian turned around and walked towards the command vehicle.
"Yes!" Zhou Weiguo performed a military salute, took out the command tablet and began to give orders.
The fire was raging, but it took a turn for the better in the early morning.
Perhaps the wails of the mutants expressed pity for God, and a few raindrops fell from the sky. Seeing this, Zhou Weiguo immediately summoned the soldiers who had recharged their batteries and prepared to issue the order to charge.
Gradually, the rain became heavier.
Big raindrops fell from the sky, hitting the fire and the mud...
from red hot steel
It rose up and slid down from the steel shell of the automatic power armor.
"charge!"
A loud shout came from the radio channel, and the front line of the First Corps began to move slowly.
The electromagnetic sound of the mortar was heard, and dozens of illumination bombs were launched into the air, illuminating the vicinity of the sports center as brightly as day with orange-red flames.
The armored troops crossed the river without any suspense, the steel boots of the power armor extinguished the little sparks, and advanced towards the stadium.
The heavy rain washed away the dust and haze on the ground and cooled down the dead bodies. The soldiers who walked by with rifles couldn't help but hold their breath. Even the heavy rain could not wash away the pungent smell of barbecue in the air.
It was not only mutants who died under the rocket bombs, but also tens of thousands of imprisoned survivors in Jia City. However, in the apocalypse where humanity is indifferent, even the former Rebel Alliance soldiers rescued by the First Corps from Site 5,
Not a single tear was shed for the dead.
Death is too normal.
More than 3,000 soldiers surrounded the standing sports center, preparing to wipe out the last remaining enemies.
1,000 engineers were also issued with rifles by Zhou Weiguo to search and rescue human prisoners who might have survived in the ruins, and to plunder the mutants who were not completely dead.
It has to be said that mutants are very tenacious.
Even in this hell, there are occasionally people who survive.
Zhu Tian, who was sitting on the top cover of the Hunting Tiger II and wearing a mechanical exoskeleton, heard a roar from the distance.
Under the pouring rain, a dark mutant shook away the gravel that was pressing down on him, swung the power hammer in his hand, and hammered an engineer into the sky as if playing golf.
Lead mutants!
The three engineers nearby raised their rifles in horror and unleashed their firepower on the lead, but the jumping sparks clearly told that all this was in vain.
Looking at the dark figure speechlessly, this lead mutant brought back some not-so-good memories for Zhu Tian.
He reached out and patted the turret under his butt, and the Hunter Tiger II immediately understood.
The body stopped and the turret began to turn.
When Zhu Tian made eye contact with the mutant two hundred meters away, the turret sitting under his butt shook violently.
A faint blue arc light shot out, and the electromagnetic gun came out.
The 5kg mass bullet shattered the raindrops and drew a trail of white mist in the rain. When the white mist dissipated, only the rotten flesh of the lead mutant was left.
The three rescued engineers sat up from the ground and waved to Zhu Tian to express their gratitude.
Zhu Tian just smiled and raised his hand, and then signaled Yehu II to continue moving forward.
Through the rain curtain, the soldiers of the First Corps had surrounded the sports center and started a firefight with the mutant troops on the street 300 meters in front of the sports center. When Zhu Tian was sitting on the Hunter Tiger II, it drove close to the front line.
At that moment, he jumped out of the car.
The powered armor 20 meters in front of him was holding a machine gun, unleashing firepower on the mutant positions.
The war has reached such a one-sided situation. To be honest, Zhu Tian actually wanted to go up there wearing power armor and have a good time. However, he saw several individual rockets passing by, and one of them knocked the power armor into the street.
When he went to the nearby store, Zhu Tian gave up this plan.
After all, this is not the real world, and power armor is not invincible.
Several engineers from afar ran forward and dragged out the powered armor and the injured personnel despite a hail of bullets.
After walking to the shed next to the command vehicle, Zhu Tian took off his helmet and shook off the rainwater, then approached Zhou Weiguo and asked.
"What's the situation like on the front lines?"
"The final stage was really fun." Zhou Weiguo laughed.
He has never fought such a happy battle.
Zhu Tian grinned.
TNND, all the money that was thrown out was my money, forty million dollars to buy the lives of 20,000 mutants. If this still doesn't lead to a smooth fight, then he really doesn't know what to say.
"After occupying Jia City and leaving 1,000 people to defend it, people from the Hangzhou Merchants Federation may send people to inquire about the situation. However, seeing the tragic situation on this battlefield, I guess they will not have any evil intentions. After a night's rest,
Turn around tomorrow morning to support Jinling City!"
boom!
The sound of explosions in the distance suddenly interrupted Zhu Tian's words.
Zhu Tian was stunned for a moment, then immediately put on his helmet and rushed out of the command shed.
There was a sudden explosion in the position.
A Jagdtiger II was lifted directly into the sky by the faint green flash.
More than 20 soldiers hiding in the darkness suddenly emerged and launched a surprise attack on Xin Daming's encirclement from the northwest corner. They fired while advancing. The raindrops exposed their outlines, but the outlines still looked awkward in the darkness.
Very clear.
Suddenly, two fist-sized energy crystals flew out of the shadows, emitting a penetrating light in the darkness, and finally exploded behind the new Ming Dynasty's infantry defense line.
Zhu Tian's pupils tightened, looking at the explosion in the distance.
He knew exactly what it was.
The ability to detonate energy crystals.
These people belong to the Church of Twilight!
The soldiers located at the northwest corner of the defense line responded immediately, turned their guns and shot at the unknown armed forces.
"It's optical invisibility! Get on the EMP!" A soldier roared, then pulled off the headset, pulled out the EMP grenade and threw it.
The soldiers nearby also pulled out EMP grenades and threw them in the direction of the shooting fire. Layers of electric sound swayed out, immediately sweeping out the triangular formation of black-clothed soldiers.
The lightweight black mechanical exoskeleton looked like a one-piece jacket, and the streamlined rifle in their hands flashed with blue arc light. Judging from the low-noise shooting sound, it was clear that what they were holding was
Gauss rifle powered by electromagnetic acceleration orbit!
Judging from the workmanship alone, their equipment was definitely not produced in a wasteland factory with rough craftsmanship. There was a 90% chance that it came from before the war!
And they are the elite of the Church of Dusk - the fanatics!
The flying bullets created ripples on the energy shield, and the fanatics who were exposed did not panic. They skillfully found bunkers on the spot and hid themselves near the damaged Jagdtiger II, along with the First Corps.
The soldiers exchanged fire.
EMP has no impact on the Gauss rifle. Its shooting principle is to accelerate metal projectiles with high-power current. The instantaneous current caused by the electromagnetic pulse can be basically ignored. The penetrating power of the Gauss rifle has a very serious impact on soldiers wearing power armor.
A big threat, the W-3 armor is not enough to defend against Gauss rifle fire...
However, there are no eggs.
In front of the wanderer, everything is just a cloud.
Just as the fanatics were desperately pushing towards the sports center, the roar of an engine suddenly came from the street behind them.
The concrete wall collapsed under the impact of the armor, and the Prowler tank that was originally attacking at the door had circled to their rear!
The Type 52 particle cannon suddenly ejected, and a blue light group exploded in the center of the fanatics' formation. The dissipated high-energy particles instantly disintegrated their energy shield. At the same time, the coaxial rapid-fire electromagnetic cannon began to pour ammunition.
The dense 2kg projectiles swept away, picking up a series of explosive dust in the heavy rain. They suppressed the fanatics in place and then crushed them into pieces. Facing the Prowler tank, they were good at stealth operations.
