Chapter 917 Follow-Up Offensive
Jiange Fortress, headquarters.
Genil was still immersed in the joy of having just wiped out three thousand "Liberation Wings". When he was thinking about how to report this "huge military achievement", a new emergency was immediately transmitted from the frontline observation post. Report——
Two Revolutionary Alliance reorganizers are rapidly approaching Jiange Fortress! There are a total of 20,000 fully armed Revolutionary Alliance soldiers, as well as a large number of power armors and combat mechas... Compared to the previous 3,000 Liberation Wings, this wave of offensive is obviously more fierce.
"These guys... are they crazy?!" Genil looked at the mountains and fields of Revolutionary Alliance soldiers on the screen and the tall mechas that stood out among the crowd, and couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling...
"Continue the bombardment! Their formation is so dense, kill them with artillery shells!" Genil's breathing was a little rapid. Although the number of opponents only increased by less than ten times, the visual impact was far greater. More than ten times, which made Geniel, who had never experienced a real war, suddenly become nervous.
"Sir... our artillery has just fired more than a dozen rounds, and the barrel has not cooled down yet. If we continue to fire, there is a high risk of exploding the barrel..." the adjutant said at the side.
"What?! Are all the artillery overheated? Didn't you leave some of the artillery for emergency response?"
"Sir...it was you who gave the order...requiring all artillery to fire..." the adjutant said softly.
"When did I give such an order?! Are you all idiots?"
"..." The adjutant wanted to tell Genil that he had advised him before, asking him to be wary of possible follow-up attacks by the Revolutionary Alliance. However, thinking of Genil's character and temper, he felt it was better not to speak...
"What should we do now? Can the fortress walls withstand the attack of 20,000 people?" Genil's command experience was basically zero. When encountering this situation, the two sides had not officially engaged in battle. He He had already messed up the situation first.
"Uh... Logically speaking, with the current defense capabilities of the fortress, there is still room for stopping 20,000 people, but..." the adjutant replied.
"Just what?"
"It's just that if the opponent has a follow-up attack, the energy shield will withstand too many attacks in a short period of time, and it is likely that the energy supply will be insufficient. At that time, the fortress will be very dangerous."
"Haven't three new reactors been installed? How come the energy supply is not available?" Genil was a little confused.
"It's not that the output power of the reactor is not enough, but that the energy shield's conversion device has reached its upper limit..."
"What kind of rubbish is this!" Genil said angrily. In these few minutes, the two divisions of the Revolutionary Army had approached less than 1,200 meters away from the fortress wall. Those firepower The supporting combat mecha had opened its support frame, fixed itself on the ground, and began to bombard the energy shield of Jiange Fortress.
Countless artillery shells, gun bullets, and laser beams poured on the energy shield that seemed as thin as a bullet shell, causing ripples in circles. The ripples overlapped and looked extremely beautiful.
However, this kind of beauty is very deadly...
The energy shield is still in a very strong state, but from the screen in the fortress headquarters, you can see that the load progress bar of the energy shield is constantly rising, and soon it has exceeded 30%. point, and it is still rising.
"How long will it take for the artillery to cool down?" Genil asked the adjutant.
"A gun equipped with a water-cooling system will probably take about one to two minutes. If the gun does not have a built-in or external cooling system, I am afraid it will not be able to fire again within ten minutes unless the barrel is replaced..."
"How many artillery pieces are equipped with water cooling systems?" Genil asked again.
"Less than ten percent..."
"Change! Tell them to change the barrel quickly! Once it's changed, fire immediately! Also! Shoot all the machine guns on the city wall for me. The enemy must not be allowed to get close to the fortress!"
Genil's heartbeat has become much faster. It was only then that he truly felt the tension on the battlefield. This feeling is absolutely impossible to experience in video games... Because here, if you fail , there is only death waiting for him...
While giving orders to the adjutant, Genil put one hand behind his back and gave a secret gesture to his personal guards. Seeing this gesture, the subordinates quietly exited the command post - the meaning of the gesture was only between Genil and this person. A close friend understands that it is very simple, there are only four: "Prepare a retreat."
Genil didn't want to die in this fortress. Even if the crime of abandoning the fortress was enough to send him to the organization's military court, he had to find a way to save his life first. As for what to do next, Then we can only take one step at a time.
…
…
Nuclear blast zone, safety well.
"Is the Revolutionary Alliance launching another attack?"
"To be precise, it should be the second time. Ten minutes ago, the first wave of Revolutionary Alliance troops that attacked the fortress had been completely wiped out. None of the three thousand 'Liberation Wings' survived."
"Not one of the three thousand Liberation Wings survived?!" Qi Lin repeated the words of the mastermind with some surprise. As a former member of the Thunder Falcon Team, Qi Lin had heard about this ace force of the Revolutionary Alliance. When he heard that the three thousand "Liberation Wings" had been wiped out, his first reaction was whether there might be some problem with the intelligence...
Any commander... note, any commander, even a person like Genil who knows basically nothing, knows that he should not put this elite ace unit first into an attack that is no different from a meat grinder. In a city battle, this would make the death of the trump card meaningless. The survival rate of the vanguard troops attacking the city is very low, especially in this kind of frontal attack. The ones at the front are basically cannon fodder troops who have been overdosed with stimulants. Their only role is to consume the defender's ammunition and soldiers' stamina.
How can there be any reason to directly send out the ace troops to die at the beginning of the attack?
It's like playing poker. Before the opponent even plays a card, you have already thrown out all the bombs in your hand——
Is this intended to make the other party doubt his life?
Please make it clear...this is fighting, not writing a joke!
"According to the images sent back by the surveillance satellite, this is indeed the case, but I suspect that these three thousand Liberation Wings should have a lot of moisture?"
"Moisture?"
"Judging from the army mobilization instructions within the Revolutionary Alliance, there are indeed Liberation Wings among the army attacking Jiange Fortress this time, but the number is only a thousand people."
