The war had lasted for half a month, and it was already mid-December.
The Northern Alliance Area and NAC were in a stalemate on both sides of the Yangtze River in Wu City. As the snowfall in the air became heavier and heavier, if there were no accidents, this stalemate might continue.
If there were no accidents …
The snow piled up into small snow hills on the street, and the Northern Alliance Area soldiers with rifles sat in the station on the street. From time to time, they scanned the street with vigilance. Next to him was a Wanderer tank that had just finished resupplying, and an infantry squad responsible for protecting the tank.
His name was Shi Wenqiang, and he was the captain of this infantry squad.
Last time the Hunter Corps used a tactical nuclear bomb to blow up a Wanderer tank that was being resupplied. The Northern Alliance Area's patrols in the occupied area had significantly increased.
Snipers ambushed in every corner of the city, and infantry patrolled the ground. The mutated humans even brought out mutant hounds and searched the streets for living people other than the Northern Alliance Area soldiers. These deformed hounds and life signal detection devices were the two nemeses of optical invisibility, and they brought a lot of trouble to the guerrilla operations of the Hunter Corps.
"To be honest, I hate working with those green-skinned idiots." A soldier with an unkempt beard carried a rifle and walked to Shi Wenqiang's side. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. He looked at the mutated human patrol team that happened to pass by this section of the road. "I always feel like the way they look at me is like looking at food."
"You'd better keep your voice down. I heard that their hearing is very good." Shi Wenqiang grinned, took the cigarette handed by his comrade, and lit it for himself. "But I agree with you. But who cares? As long as they can take down the NAC for me. "
Just then, there was a gunshot in the distance.
Shi Wenqiang frowned, stubbed out the cigarette, and stuffed it back into his pocket.
In order to reduce the threat of NAC's shelling, the forces of the Northern Alliance Area were scattered in the urban area, and they rarely stayed in a fixed location for too long. This also meant that the probability of them encountering NAC guerrillas was very high.
"It's about a kilometer from here." At this time, the soldier who had been squatting on the side of the road suddenly said, "It's approaching, and there's also the sound of vehicles."
Everyone skillfully loaded their rifles and moved closer to the Wanderer tank. Shi Wenqiang slammed his fist on the tank armor and spoke through the headset.
"Get up, it's time to work."
The Wanderer next to him responded to his words with the roar of the engine starting. The tank moved forward two to three meters and stopped at the entrance of the road. Shi Wenqiang gestured to the soldier beside him to move to the side of the bunker and set up the light machine gun.
The gunshots on the opposite side of the street gradually became more intense. Shi Wenqiang faintly felt that something was wrong, but he could not tell what exactly was wrong.
At this moment, a hoarse roar came from the shopping mall on the street. A mutated human covered in blood stumbled onto the street, but before it could take two steps, it was riddled with bullets from behind.
"Use the coaxial railgun and fire at the first floor of the mall," Shi Wenqiang said calmly.
"Roger."
The Wanderer tank turned its turret, and the coaxial railgun next to the Type-52 particle cannon suddenly ejected high-speed projectiles and shattered the door and the wall of the mall into several sections. The gunshots in the mall were suppressed, but before Shi Wenqiang had time to relax, a dense barrage of bullets came from the opposite side of the street and almost caught his team off guard.
Retreating behind the tank, a sneer appeared on his face. He skillfully released the reconnaissance drone from his backpack and marked the NAC riflemen across the street through the tablet terminal.
"You're asking for death!"
The Wanderer slowly moved its turret and pointed the barrel at the NAC soldiers.
Any ground target, whether soft or hard, was a fragile paper tiger in front of the Wanderer. NAC did not have any means to defeat the Wanderer on the battlefield. In the face of absolute technological superiority, all so-called tactics were futile.
Shi Wenqiang was convinced of this.
However, his disdainful sneer quickly froze on his face.
Directly in front of him, directly behind the barrel of the Wanderer tank. A strangely shaped turretless tank smashed through the wall and drove onto the street. The hideous barrel was already aimed in his direction.
Tank? How could there be a tank?!
NAC blew up all the bridges across the Yangtze River in Wu City. The inability of armored units to pass through the ice was not only targeted at the Northern Alliance Area, but also the NAC as the defender …
In theory, it was true, but he obviously did not consider the NAC airship.
"Take cover!"
Shi Wenqiang roared at his comrades who were also leaning against the tank, then he took the lead to rush to the bunker on the side.
He didn't think that the turretless tank could pose any threat to the Wanderer. However, for the infantry, any armored unit that circled behind the "bunker" was a deadly threat.
However, his blind confidence in the Wanderer also did not last long.
The dazzling white light flickered, and the lightning-like shells instantly imprinted on the body of the Wanderer tank. The thick armor was completely useless. The plasma of tens of millions of degrees melted through the shell of the armor in an instant.
The word fear was deeply imprinted on his face, so much so that he forgot the stinging pain in his eyes. Drones with muzzles poured out from the opposite side of the street, and the NAC soldiers behind the bunker also began to charge.
Longbow I's coaxial machine gun suppressed them behind the bunker. They couldn't even look up, let alone fight back against the charging NAC soldiers.
Shi Wenqiang's heart was filled with despair.
"Captain, what should we do!" A young man squatting behind the concrete bunker looked at him in horror.
He took out the EMP grenade, but after hesitating for a while, Shi Wenqiang finally stuffed the EMP grenade back.
Even with the Type-52 particle cannon, it was impossible to penetrate the armor of the Wanderer with just one shot.
Obviously, NAC had mastered directed energy weapons that were better than before the war.
When he saw the armor of the Wanderer penetrated like a window paper, he lost most of his fighting spirit. If the First Legion lost the armor advantage and faced a supply disadvantage, there was no chance of winning.
"Surrender … throw the rifle out of the bunker, and the pistol."
After he said this word in humiliation, he abandoned his dignity and dropped the rifle in his hand. From the sleeve of his polar camouflage uniform, he cut a white strip with a dagger, tied it to the barrel of the rifle, and fired.
Seeing their boss surrender, the soldiers behind the bunker not only did not cast a contemptuous look at him, but they were all relieved.
They were not PAC officers, and they had no interest in the so-called orthodoxy. They followed the Northern Alliance Area just to survive on this cruel wasteland.
After the white flag was raised, the suppressive fire of the machine guns stopped.
The NAC soldiers did not make it difficult for them. They skillfully handcuffed them and handed them to the mercenaries to be sent to the stronghold outside the war zone. The drone formation circled into the building next to the street, and Longbow I returned to the road. Followed by the infantry, they continued to advance to the hinterland of the First Legion occupied area.
Since they entered Wu City, they had destroyed four Wanderers. Including the one that was blown away by the nuclear bomb, there were only eight Wanderers left in the First Legion.
On the NAC side, none of the thirty Longbow I's were damaged!
Although they didn't know how long this tactic of "infantry attracting firepower, tank attacking" could last, one thing was certain.
The offensive and defensive positions of the two sides had been reversed!
