Chapter 918: Counterattack

Translator: _Min_ Editor: Rundi

In half a month’s time, 30 tanks rolled off the production line. The Sixth Street military factory managed to exceed their expectation.

Jiang Chen provided the production needed ores at market price to the Sixth Street military factory. With the production line reaching its highest utilization rate possible, the support of industrial-grade 3D printers, the Sixth Street’s production capacity did not let Jiang Chen down and completed production tasks at an incredible pace.

After Longbow Is were delivered to NAC’s force, Han Junhua immediately changed her tactics. She used AS Order to deploy all Longbow Is behind the First Legion. With the cooperation of the Hunter Corps, it was a sharp knife that directly pierced into the belly of the First Legion.

The tactic was a great gambit.

Longbow I, as a new weapon, had not yet been tested by actual combat. And deploying a large number of armored units behind the enemy line was a risky option in itself. If used well, this knife could directly pierce the enemy’s heart, but if not well used, this knife was likely to get stuck on the enemy’s ribs.

The absence of a turret meant that it must not stop moving. Once surrounded, the lack of anti-infantry weapons meant that it may be destroyed by anti-tank weapons or explosives.

In addition to betting on the armored units, Han Junhua also devoted almost all the drones of the Second Army to this battle. Under the cover of the drone sea, the assaulting Longbow I was invincible.

Although the EMP weapon caused significant damage to the drone, only a few drones near the center of impact crashed. Drones like Pythons and Hummingbirds were all been retrofitted to EMP weapons. With some distance, EMP only caused overheating of its internal circuits, making it stop for two or three seconds.

Want to destroy all? Unless the enemy had stronger EMP grenades or other EMP weapons. However, that was almost impossible for the First Legion deprived of supplies.

“Boom!”

A particle shot pierced the NAC’s drone group, and more than a dozen drones were melted into iron slag.

While recharging the particle cannon, the Wanderer tank attempted to retreat into the building behind it. However, just as it had just slammed through the concrete wall, a bomb shattered the concrete wall that it was being used as a bunker.

The bomb bounced off of the armor without any suspense. The Wanderer was moving its turret and aiming the particle cannon at the Tiger II. At this moment, however, a glaring white light melted through its armor, and the instantaneous release of the electric current turned all the members in the tank into char.

The Northern Alliance soldiers who fought around the Wanderer tank watched in horror at the crippled tank. In their battle plan, there was simply no mention of what to do after the Wanderer tank is destroyed.

NAC made a decision for them.

The drone group flooded from the sides of the street and the infantry unit that lost armor protection was just like salted fish on the cutting board.

With a victory cheer, the NAC soldiers left cover and charged at the Northern Alliance.

Longbow I pushed over the concrete wall in front of it and revealed its dominance in front of the Northern Alliance soldiers.

“Run!”

Someone shouted out in fear. Maybe it was just the fear for death. The Northern Alliance soldiers began to recede and left cover in a panic as they began to retreat. Machine guns were raging in the cold snow, and countless people fell in frozen pools of blood and were ran over by the merciless steel belts.

This special force that appeared behind the Northern Alliance soldiers penetrated the hinterland of the enemy controlled area with its unexpected offensive.

At the same time, beside the Yangtze River Bridge that broke into several pieces a few kilometers away, Hu Cheng’s defense line received a command to counterattack ten minutes later.

At first he thought there was a problem with the command. However, after seven minutes, dense rockets fell from the sky and landed on the opposite bank of the Yangtze River belonging to the Northern Alliance Area. Three minutes after the bombardment, the defense buildings were barely standing and the horn of counterattack rang.

The assault began.

Although Hu Cheng was more than unwilling, the command of the headquarters was absolute.

Hu Cheng gritted his teeth, grabbed the rifle, climbed out of his bunker, used his roar to dispel all the fear in his chest and rushed toward the opposite line of defense.

“Charge!!”

The light armor emerged from the trenches of the first line of defense and took the lead. Machine gun bullets fired from time to time through the explosion’s smoke screen, but under the continued suppression of artillery bombardment, this symbolic firing was no longer a threat.

The Northern Alliance, which had been on the offense, suddenly was caught off-guard by the sudden counterattack.

However, although they were unprepared, the soldiers of the Northern Alliance in the trenches did not panic, but were amazed by the NAC’s offensive move. They believed that as soon as their Wanderer tanks arrived to the line of defense, they could immediately teach them a lesson.

Not only that, but it was also an opportunity to conquer the line of defense that was in stalemate.

However, the development of the situation was beyond the expectation of the soldiers of the Northern Alliance. The Wanderer’s tanks didn’t arrive, and reinforcements didn’t arrive either. With artillery support, NAC’s soldiers had only sacrificed a small amount of casualties before they easily crossed the frozen Yangtze River and engaged in battle with the soldiers hiding in the trenches…

“Fu*k! My ears!”

The explosion of artillery from afar stopped, Hu Cheng bore the sharp pain of his eardrum and jumped into the enemy’s trenched while carrying a rifle.

“ROAR!”

There was a deep, short snarl, and a mutated hound, with one of its legs shredded by artillery, leaped at him.

Without the slightest trepidation, Hu Cheng used his rifle to knock away its sharp teeth, took out the dagger on his waist, and slashed its abdomen into two parts. A bullet flew over his scalp, and he immediately rushed toward the side for cover and fired back at the Northern Alliance soldier.

“Unbelievable, I actually set foot in the enemy’s trenches?”

While thinking about this shocking event, Hu Cheng killed the enemy soldier and leaned against the snow-covered wooden box. He gritted his teeth and loaded a new clip into his rifle, and then watched the time on his EP.

“It’s time.”

Silently, Hu Cheng let go of his rifle and covered his ear.

BOOM!

The second round of bombardment arrived on schedule and passed the first set of trenches, covering the second line of defense of the Northern Alliance. It duplicated the previous bombardment of the first line of defense.

The soldiers of the Northern Alliance who retreated from the first line of defense were all swallowed by the flames of explosion. The soldiers hiding in the second line of defense could only tremble in the corner of the bunker under the deafening explosion.

At the end of the shelling, Hu Cheng shook off the snow and mud from his body, grabbed the rifle next to him, and slowly climbed out of the trenches.

The exploding black smoke covered the battlefield, and the sporadic fire could not be completely extinguished even by the heavy snow.

Looking at the scene in front of him, none of fortifications was intact.

The assault continued, and even the arrogant snoring of the mutated humans was stained with a hint of fear.

The war was not over, but Hu Cheng, who had never seen the Wanderer from the beginning to the end, knew very well.

They had already won the war.
