Dust billowed, accompanied by the deafening roar of engines.
The steel tracks rolled over the hardened wasteland and made a rumbling sound.
The tank formation made up of all of NAC's armored forces, led by the Wanderer tank, was like a sharp arrow heading from Shenxiang to the Seventh Area between Jia and Wanghai City.
It was the mutated humans' production base. Once the place fell, it meant the mutated humans would lose their ammunition supply. After liberating the slaves imprisoned in the Seventh Area, the First Division would continue to the west and crush the mutated humans in Jia City!
With the Wanderer tank leading the way, eight Tiger IIs, 15 armored vehicles, 30 supply trucks, 2300 soldiers, and two transport helicopters, it was almost half of NAC's assets.
Right now, inside the armored vehicle that was modified into a command tower, Cheng Weiguo and Ma Zhongcheng sat across from each other. In front of them was a holographic map. The red marks on the map were the mutated humans' positions, and the blue dots forming an arrow formation were the soldiers of the First Division and the Hunter Division.
"Based on the estimation of the scouts, the mutated humans have 9000 soldiers in Jia City, 80 anti-tank cannons, 60 anti-air machine guns, and 220 machine guns," Ma Zhongcheng reported to Cheng Weiguo.
"That's troublesome." Cheng Weiguo cursed in his mind.
Because of the attack on Jia City, the number of mutated humans had increased significantly. It was foreseeable that it would be a tough battle.
There was a sudden explosion in the distance.
A shell exploded next to a speeding Tiger II. The shrapnel scratched the Type A steel armor, but it didn't cause any damage to the armor. Then, a few more shells landed, but they didn't hit any targets.
"Enemy anti-tank target detected!"
"Begin the battle." Cheng Weiguo pressed on the headset and said in an undertone.
"Roger!"
The supply trucks loaded with infantry all slowed down, allowing the soldiers inside to jump out and spread out to charge to the Seventh Area. The soldiers outside the armored vehicles also jumped out and spread out to charge to the mutated humans' position.
An armor-piercing round slammed into the front armor of the Wanderer and bounced to the side without any suspense. Using the Meissner effect, the Electromagnetic Reactive Armor could render most kinetic weapons (tank level) useless! Even without the Electromagnetic Reactive Armor, the 140mm Type-A steel armor could not be penetrated by ordinary artillery shells.
As the main cannon, the Type-52 Particle Cannon shot out a blue light, exploding like fireworks upon hitting the target, instantly disintegrating the anti-tank cannons behind the enemy's bunkers. As a coaxial secondary cannon, the 2kg rapid-fire railgun constantly flickered with electric arcs, and the projectiles shot at eight times the speed of sound easily smashed the house into pieces. The mutated humans hiding in the building didn't even have time to scream before they were pushed down together with the building itself.
It was like a moving fortress!
Compared to the brilliance of the Wanderer tank, the "locally produced" Tiger II was slightly inferior, but against the mutated humans without armor protection, the thick front armor and the powerful electromagnetic pulse cannon were still more than enough.
The Type-50 electromagnetic pulse cannon continuously fired 5kg bombs at the mutated humans' position and instantly destroyed the first line of defense built by the mutated humans.
With the defense broken, the armored vehicle immediately sped up and sped out from the front row of tanks into the industrial park of the Seventh Area. The revolving machine gun installed on the roof spat out flames, the large caliber ammunition crazily harvested the mutated human soldiers behind the bunkers, and from the side of the vehicle, heat and electromagnetic decoy missiles were constantly thrown.
The guided rockets immediately flew to the location of the decoy missiles like blind flies. The non-guided rockets couldn't hit the armored vehicle due to the high speed of the armored vehicle.
Suddenly, rockets flew in the industrial park. Not a single armored vehicle was hit, but a lot of mutated humans were injured.
The armored vehicle that broke into the industrial park cleared the anti-tank cannons and anti-air machine guns behind the bunkers in the shortest amount of time, paving the way for the tanks to enter. At the same time, the Hunter Corps in power armor and kinetic skeletons also broke into the mutated humans' first line of defense and cooperated with the infantry team to eliminate the remaining enemies hiding in the ruins.
The only casualty was the two armored vehicles. One was destroyed by an anti-tank mine, the other was unfortunately hit by a non-guided rocket.
But compared to the results, the sacrifice was undoubtedly worth it. There were 17 anti-tank cannons, 31 quadruple anti-air machine guns, and more than 2000 mutated humans were killed. The remaining enemies all fled to the second line of defense.
"The first line of defense is down!"
The captain on the frontline reported the situation back to the command tower. Cheng Weiguo looked at the entangled red and blue dots on the holographic map and looked at Ma Zhongcheng.
"Release the drones."
"OK." Ma Zhongcheng took out the tablet and tapped a few buttons.
The second line of defense was built around the complex complex of buildings in the industrial park. Even the armored vehicles couldn't travel at high speed here. The mutated human soldiers guarding this street corner were equipped with large amounts of unguided individual rockets, as well as sticky explosives. Although these things couldn't hurt the Wanderers, they posed a significant threat to the Tiger II and armored vehicles.
The side armor and anus were the weakness of the Tiger II. If an anti-tank rocket hit it at close range, it was hard to guarantee that it wouldn't break down.
Therefore, the task of protecting the infantry in attacking the second line of defense could only be done by the drones!
After receiving the order, the two transport helicopters hovering in the outer airspace immediately approached the first line of defense that had been broken through, then dropped two long containers to the ground.
The blue light flashed, and under the reverse jet of the landing device, the five-meter-long "container" slammed into the second line of defense. One box was inserted on the street, and the other box was inserted on the roof of a building.
The memory metal box suddenly opened under the impact, revealing the honeycomb-shaped hole under the shell, and released the hummingbird drones parked in the honeycomb.
The buzz even covered the sound of gunfire. Against the drone attack group formed by the disc-sized "hummingbird", the mutated humans could only use the rifles and machine guns in their hands to unleash their firepower, but the effect was minimal.
With the "honeycomb" acting as the terminal of the drones as the center, hundreds of sensitive hummingbirds shuttled through the streets and alleys, harvesting the lives of the mutated humans. Even if the mutated humans had thick C-type steel front armor, they couldn't defend against the drones from behind. Encountering a drone in a street battle without an EMP weapon would be a massacre.
And obviously, the mutated humans in the Seventh Area didn't prepare too many EMP weapons!
When the honeycomb landed, the built-in terrain scanning system had already logged the details of the landing area into the server. Therefore, these hummingbirds were even more familiar with the terrain of the area than the mutated humans themselves!
At the same time, 20 T-3 power armors followed closely behind and broke into the second line of defense. With the cooperation of the light infantry, they launched a fierce street battle with the mutated humans.
The orange-yellow trajectory almost lit up the entire industrial park. Against the ferocious offensive of the First Corps, the mutated humans who were entrenched in this area were forced to retreat.
The infantry completely cleared the second line of defense. At this time, the Type-51 helicopter moved forward and used the Type-50 electromagnetic pulse cannon to drop the nightmare of death on the mutated humans. No bunker could remain intact under the heavy pressure of the 10kg bomb. Although the lead mutated humans with power hammers and the self-destructing mutated humans with miniature nuclear bombs caused a certain amount of casualties to the infantries participating in the street battle, the mutated humans were still unable to turn the tide of the battle.
The second line of defense was conquered and the tanks continued to push forward. The soldiers who seized the anti-tank cannons from the mutated humans aimed at the third line of defense of the mutated humans, which was also the last line of defense of the mutated humans.
The electronic factory in the Seventh Area was built!
The high-tech factory with an area of 1500 acres stood out in the entire Seventh Area industrial park. It was precisely because it stood out from the rest that the mutants chose it as their base. The outer perimeter of the factory was surrounded by high walls, and the internal plant was turned into a fortress by the mutated humans.
In front of the mutants and most survivors, the fortress was indestructible, but it was not the case in front of the NAC.
The fortress in the eyes of the mutated humans was destined to become their grave!
After occupying the second line of defense, the First Corps unleashed a total of 1000 rounds into the factory. The walls and the main building of the factory were almost half-destroyed.
After the destruction, the armored vehicles carrying the drone terminal and the power armors moved forward together. The soldiers with rifles followed closely and engaged in a fierce battle with the mutated humans inside the factory.
The battle was extremely brutal.
For both sides, there was no concept of surrender in this battle.
Because humans and mutated humans were not the same species!
After six hours of fierce battle, the soldiers of the First Corps finally killed the last mutated human. They placed the NAC flag on the half-collapsed factory and declared the victory of the Seventh Area battle!
