In the rocket launcher area, eight trucks transformed into "Fireball-1" cluster rockets. As to the eight BM-21 cluster rockets Jiang Chen bought from Russia, they were quickly thrown into the cold storage.
Just from the incendiary bomb alone, the "Fireball-1" burned twice as much as the BM-21, and the burning time was three times longer. At the same time, the accuracy of the firing also increased.
Other than the conventional incendiary bomb and high explosive bomb, the Aerospace Science and Technology Research Institute led by Jiang Lin fully utilized their imagination and designed futuristic weapons such as laser bombs and EMP bombs.
The EMP bomb went without saying. Once the rocket exploded, the electronic equipment in the area would be at least half destroyed.
The power of the laser bomb was not inferior either. When a rocket exploded in the air, countless high energy laser beams rained down from the sky. The high explosive energy damage was significant for both soft and hard targets. Under the bombardment of rockets, the scene would be as spectacular as a rainstorm.
Because the shell of the rocket was outsourced to the private military factory at the Sixth Street, the incendiary bombs in NAC's arsenal far exceeded the target of 1000 rounds Jiang Chen gave a month ago.
Thousands of thick and long rockets were lying on the empty ground of the Aerospace Science and Technology Research Institute. The artillery soldiers directly under the General Staff carefully loaded them into the launcher on the back of the truck.
Right now, Jiang Chen was standing next to the launch vehicle with a tablet in his hand as he listened to Jiang Lin's explanation.
"The loading status of each vehicle is here, along with the temperature of the launcher and the number of rounds. Through the tablet, you can set the coverage area and number of rounds. The smart program will automatically calculate the trajectory. After setting the launch parameters, you just need to press your fingerprint on the side. "
Jiang Chen looked at the red circle next to the tablet as he touched his chin with interest.
"The automatic loading system is still under design. It will take a while for the results to come out. Just use it for now."
"Not bad. The inventory is 5100 incendiary bombs, 1000 high explosive bombs, 151 laser bombs … Is there no EMP?" Jiang Chen asked.
"No, the command center ordered us to prioritize the production of incendiary bombs. Isn't this a battle against mutants? EMP is useless against creatures. "Jiang Lin laughed.
Not long after, the rocket launcher had finished loading, and the artillery soldiers who participated in the loading all retreated to a position five meters away, dragging away the ammunition boxes.
On the command tablet, the blue dots that indicated the 1st and 3rd Corps were approaching the city center. The red dots that were being scanned were the zombies and mutants that were showing signs of aggression. Based on the map, Cheng Weiguo was already close to Wanghai Airport.
Han Sen's finger slid across the screen, and a circle appeared. It was like he had drawn a forbidden zone for all xenogeneics in the airport.
"It feels like I'm releasing magic." His thumb hovered above the button as he grinned.
"Furthermore, it's a forbidden spell," said the weapon's designer, Jiang Lin, with a smile.
His thumb pressed on the red circle, and an arc of scanning code slid across at a uniform speed. A cold text box popped up.
[Fireball-1 Group Attack]
Almost at the same time, the launch site was enveloped by the exhaust of the cluster rockets.
…
Outside Wanghai Airport, a heavy metal symphony was playing.
After being washed by the rain for a few days, the burn marks on the streets had basically disappeared. The withered corpses were also eroded into dust by the wind and dew.
Suddenly, the tranquility of the street was broken by the roar of the engine and the orange bullets.
The Tiger II took the lead and crushed the zombies. The cannon was charged and released, and it blasted the head of the roshan in one go. The zombies and mutants on the east side of the city had already spread back to the city center, but due to the small area, the density of the zombies was still normal.
The machine gun on the roof continued to unleash its firepower, and the orange bullets killed all the zombies on the road. Zombies that did not form into a large scale could not pose a threat to tanks on the battlefield.
The danger that the 1st Corps faced mostly came from the dark alleys and shops with broken windows. A lot of zombies survived, and most of the zombies from the east side of the city were mixed in.
"Follow!"
With the rifle in his right hand and his left fist, Feng Yu, in kinetic skeleton, commanded the team to move forward.
Then, ferocious-looking zombies rushed out from the alleys and stumbled toward his team.
"Grenade!"
With a roar, a soldier tore off the grenade in front of his chest and threw it at the zombies rushing out of the alley.
The fire exploded, and pieces of flesh flew onto everyone's body.
Feng Yu shook off the blood on his hand as he continued to move and fire.
In close range combat, only high explosive grenades could be used, and not incendiary grenades. Otherwise, the zombies on fire would be a disaster for all soft targets. For the zombies that had their limbs blown off, the passing soldiers would kill them. Or they would simply step on them. The soldiers injected with genetic vaccine could easily crush the rotten skulls.
"Dammit, there are more and more zombies in front!"
While he was reloading, Feng Yu scanned the EP strapped to his left arm with a frown.
The drone scanned the zombies in the area, and the dense red dots made his scalp numb.
But he would not retreat because he was an upper-class citizen of the Sixth Street.
It wasn't easy for him to climb to his current position, and he was only one step away from the knight. He would not retreat!
"It's a Death Claw!" Suddenly, a scream came from the radio channel.
An upright lizard waving its sharp claws came out from the side of the street. It had a struggling soldier in its mouth. From its wrinkled skin, it should be a Death Claw that survived the cleansing last month.
"Fu * k!" The lifeless face made Feng Yu's scalp tingle.
Without hesitation, he immediately ordered the team to retreat while he fired at the Death Claw's head.
"Rifle grenade!"
The rifle grenade alone could not do anything to the Death Claw. At most, it could suppress it.
Five sharp blades tore through the smoke from the explosion. The heat sensor rifle grenade hurt it, but it didn't kill it.
The Death Claw stumbled over as it waved the ten blades in its hands. But just as it was about to make contact with Feng Yu, its throat was grabbed by a powerful hand. It was pulled ninety degrees and pressed against the concrete wall on the side of the road.
"Roar!"
The Death Claw let out an unwilling roar as its sharp claws made a series of screeching sounds on the C-grade steel.
But for the T-4 power armor, an injured Death Claw's claw was no different from scratching an itch.
His hand was like an iron clamp as the triangular gun on his arm spun and the bullets penetrated the Death Claw's head.
"You owe me your life, buddy."
The power armor threw away the Death Claw as it punched the steel shell in front of its chest. Then, it set up the tactical rifle and continued to move forward.
The armored vehicles were on the road as the troops began to converge. The zombies in this area were all cleared out and there would be no more danger before they arrived at the airport.
Feng Yu breathed heavily as he lowered the gun. He looked at the Death Claw on the ground with lingering fear.
"Captain, what do we do next?" A light infantryman walked to Feng Yu's side and asked while gasping for air.
"Continue to push — Wait, the command center's alert." Feng Yu looked at the flashing icon on his left arm as he immediately stopped his comrade.
The fleet slowly stopped. The power armor at the front also stopped and went into a defensive stance.
Feng Yu raised his head and looked at the clear sky.
Suddenly, hundreds of sharp arrows flew across the sky, dragging long and narrow trails of smoke behind them as they fell in the direction of the airport one after another.
The crimson fireballs soared into the sky as the thick smoke covered the airport.
"Incendiary bombs …"
"Our artillery!"
A soldier lowered the gun as he stared blankly at the sky. Feng Yu was the same. He looked up at the sparks and quietly watched the fireworks.
When the thick smoke dissipated, there was only scorched earth left in the area.
The soldiers waved the rifles in their hands as they erupted in cheers.
Under the cover of the rockets, the First Corps with high morale continued their journey towards the last line of defense outside the city center.
