In less than half a month, 30 tanks were produced. The Sixth Street's military factory had exceeded the task.
All the ores needed for production were provided at market prices to the Sixth Street's military factories, including Zhao Corporation. The production line was operating to the limit. Coupled with industrial-grade 3D printers, the Sixth Street's production capacity did not disappoint Jiang Chen's expectations. The production task was completed at an incredible speed.
After the Longbow I was equipped, Han Junhua immediately changed the current tactics and deployed all the Longbow I in the rear of the First Legion with the airship Order. With the cooperation of the Hunter Corps, it was like a sharp knife stabbing into the abdomen of the First Legion.
Needless to say, this strategy was like a huge gamble.
The Longbow I, as a new weapon, had not yet been tested in actual combat. Moreover, deploying a large number of armored units behind the enemy was a risky option. If used well, this knife could directly pierce the enemy's heart, but if not used well, this knife was likely to be stuck in the enemy's ribs.
No turret meant that it must not stop its advance. Once it was surrounded, it lacked anti-infantry means. The most likely outcome would be the infantry using anti-tank rockets or high explosives.
In addition to betting all the armored units behind the enemy, Han Junhua also invested almost all the individual drones of the Second Division into this battle. Under the cover of the drone sea, the charging Longbow I was invincible.
Although EMP weapons could cause considerable damage to drones, only the few drones in the center of the EMP weapons directly fell to the ground. Drones such as Viper and Hummingbird had been modified with EMP weapons. As long as they were a little further away, the EMP could at most cause its internal circuit to overheat and stop its action for two or three seconds.
Destroy them all? Unless there was an EMP grenade of the same magnitude, or other EMP weapons.
However, for the First Legion of the Northern Alliance Area, which was short of supplies, it was almost impossible.
"BOOM!"
A particle cannon penetrated the NAC drone group, and more than a dozen drones were melted into iron slag and fell to the ground.
While recharging the particle cannon, the Wanderer tank reversed and tried to retreat into the building behind it. However, just as it crashed into the concrete wall behind it, a projectile from the side shattered the concrete wall that served as a bunker.
The projectile bounced off the armor without any suspense. The Wanderer moved the turret and was about to aim the particle cannon at the Tiger II not far away. However, at this moment, a dazzling white light melted through its armor, and the instantaneous release of electric current turned all the tank members into charcoal.
The Northern Alliance Area soldiers fighting around the Wanderer tank looked at the destroyed Wanderer in horror. In their battle plan, there was no mention of what to do after the Wanderer tank was destroyed.
NAC made the decision for them.
The drones swarmed from both sides of the street, and soft targets were slaughtered like salted fish on a chopping board.
Accompanied by the cry of victory, the NAC soldiers left the bunker and charged at the Northern Alliance Area's position with rifles.
Longbowman I pushed down the concrete wall in front of him and destroyed the Wanderer, showing its majesty in front of the soldiers of the Northern Alliance Area.
"Run —!"
Someone shouted, or perhaps it was just the instinct of fear of death. The soldiers of the Northern Alliance Area began to retreat, left the bunker in a panic, and retreated to the rear. Machine gun bullets raged in the cold wind and snow. Countless people fell in pools of frozen blood and were crushed by the steel tracks.
The surprise force that appeared in the rear of the Northern Alliance Area passed through the hinterland of the Northern Alliance Area with an unexpected offensive.
At the same time, on the side of the Yangtze River Bridge more than ten kilometers away, Hu Cheng's line of defense received the order to counterattack the front line on the other side of the river in ten minutes.
At first, he thought there was a problem with the order, but seven minutes later, dense shells fell from the sky and landed on the opposite bank of the Yangtze River belonging to the Northern Alliance Area. After three minutes of bombardment, the temporary fortifications on the opposite side were destroyed, and the horn of counterattack sounded.
The charge began.
Although he was extremely unwilling, the command center's orders were absolute.
Hu Cheng gritted his teeth, grabbed the rifle from beside him, climbed out of the third echelon's bunker, dispelled all the fear in his chest with a roar, and rushed to the opposite line of defense.
"Charge —!"
Light armor drove out from the trenches of the first echelon and took the lead in rushing to the opposite side. Machine gun bullets shot through the smoke from the explosion from time to time, but under the continuous suppression of artillery, this kind of symbolic firing no longer posed any threat to the charging team.
The Northern Alliance Area, which had been in a state of attack, was suddenly caught off guard by NAC's sudden counterattack.
However, although they were caught off guard, the soldiers of the Northern Alliance Area in the trenches did not panic. Instead, they were surprised by NAC's attack. They believed that when their Wanderer tanks drove to the edge of the line of defense, they could immediately teach them a lesson.
Not only that, but they could also take advantage of the opportunity to take down the line of defense.
However, the development of the situation was beyond the expectations of the soldiers of the Northern Alliance Area. They didn't wait for the Wanderer tanks, and they didn't even wait for the reinforcements from the rear. With the support of artillery, NAC soldiers only paid a small number of casualties before they easily crossed the frozen Yangtze River and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the soldiers hiding in the trenches …
"Fu * k! My ears! "
The sound of artillery in the distance stopped. Hu Cheng endured the piercing pain in his eardrums, held the rifle, and jumped into the trench on the opposite side while swearing.
"Roar —"
A low and short roar sounded, and a mutant hound with a crippled leg pounced at him.
Without the slightest panic, Hu Cheng used the rifle to block its sharp teeth, took out the dagger on his waist, and cut its abdomen in half. The bullet flew past his scalp, and he immediately rushed to the bunker on the side and fired back at the Northern Alliance soldier with the rifle in his hand.
"Unbelievable, I actually set foot on the opposite line of defense?"
Without time to digest the shock in his heart, Hu Cheng, who killed the soldier, leaned against the wooden box piled with snow, gritted his teeth, and reloaded the rifle. At the same time, he looked at the time on the EP.
"It's time."
Hu Cheng let go of the rifle and covered his ears.
BOOM!!!
The second round of artillery bombardment came as scheduled. It crossed the trenches of the first echelon and covered the second echelon of the Northern Alliance Area, replicating the previous bombardment on the first line of defense.
The soldiers of the Northern Alliance Area who left the first line of defense and retreated were all engulfed in the flames of the explosion. The soldiers hiding in the second line of defense could only shiver in the corner of the bunker under the deafening artillery fire.
At the end of the bombardment, Hu Cheng shook off the snow and mud on his body, grabbed the rifle next to him, and slowly climbed up from the bunker.
The black smoke of the explosion meandered on the battlefield, and even the heavy snow couldn't completely extinguish the sporadic fire.
Looking at the other side, he could no longer see any intact fortifications.
The charge continued, and even the arrogant roar of the mutated humans was tinged with a hint of fear.
The war hadn't reached its peak yet, but Hu Cheng, who didn't see the Wanderer from beginning to end, was very clear.
They had already won this war.
