Dimensional Alliance

However, after several joint rescue team commanders and political commissars discussed at the meeting, they all believed that the risks in this plan were still within the acceptable range of joint rescue. After all, in the previous frontal battlefield, regardless of the relationship between the joint rescue team and mutant The fighting has been intense since the very beginning, but apart from the tens of thousands of mutants who were wiped out at the beginning when the original enterovirus commander was not prepared, although the subsequent frontal battlefield has been full of flames, according to the evaluation of the staff department, due to the distribution of mutants It was relatively loose and could not be cut off the way of retreat. As a result, although the front line was indeed compressed by the human coalition forces to the city of Sydney little by little, the number of mutants killed on the frontal battlefield may not have exceeded [-].

On the other hand, the opportunity for the joint rescue team to inflict severe damage on the mutants in one go on the frontal battlefield at this time also turned into empty talk after the original enterovirus commander adjusted his strategic deployment.The fierce battle not only caused the joint rescue team's ammunition to be consumed quickly, but even after the long-range mutants joined, each unit suffered a lot of casualties and damage to equipment vehicles.

Under such circumstances, human commanders at all levels have gradually realized that continuing the war of attrition with the mutants outside of Sydney is simply a loss-making business for the Human Joint Rescue Team, even if the Joint Rescue Team can finally defeat the The mutants will inevitably lead to a large number of casualties in the joint rescue team, and considering the difficulty of replenishing troops in the world of the coalition government—especially the elite of the elite like the Imperial Guards—this kind of mass casualties is very important to the rescue team. It is unaffordable for both CN and JAP governments.

Not to mention that even if the Joint Rescue Team can finally completely defeat the mutant army on the frontal battlefield, as long as the Joint Rescue Team fails to block the mutants' retreat, these mutant legions can retreat from the battlefield calmly, and they may even They will use the Sydney ruins or other shelters in Sydney to deal with the United Rescue Team. If the war really develops to that point, whether the United Rescue Team, which is severely depleted of ammunition, can still complete the task of annihilating all mutants will really have to draw a picture. question mark.

Therefore, although this combat plan seems very risky, considering that this plan is enough to help the joint rescue team break the current deadlock, all division commanders and political commissars believe that it is worth implementing.

After all, once this plan is successful, the United Rescue Team will have the opportunity to wipe out more than [-] mutants at one time. Mutants are not a number that can be ignored casually for the original enterovirus commanders in the southern hemisphere.

It has to be said that the timing of this plan proposed by the frontline commander of the coalition government is just right. In order to wipe out the human coalition forces occupying the Judgment Day shelter, the original enterovirus commander has drawn nearly The number of [-] was used to launch a counterattack on the Judgment Day Sanctuary—including a large number of long-range mutants, which directly caused the mutants in the frontal battlefield to make up for the loss of troops even though they seemed to have temporarily gained an advantage. The mutants began to have a short-term fault. If the human joint rescue team can take this opportunity to attack the mutants' flanks, then the joint rescue team may be able to completely cut off the front before the original enterovirus commander reorganizes the support force. Circulation between the battlefield and mutants in Sydney city.

In addition, it is also because the original enterovirus commander's main energy is focused on the counterattack on the Judgment Day shelter at this time, so the mutants on the frontal battlefield will only mechanically execute his previous order, regardless of the human troops. No matter what countermeasures are taken, these mutants whose self-will has been suppressed to the extreme under the control of the original enterovirus commander will only launch an attack on the human coalition regardless. At this time, if the reserve team on the front line conducts a planned retreat, Then before the original enterovirus commander noticed the abnormal situation on the frontal battlefield, it was very likely that these mutants would be pocketed.

Although due to electromagnetic interference, the front-line commanders of the coalition government could not keep abreast of the latest developments about the mutants, but the keen sense of the battlefield and the support of various divisions and brigades from the Third World War were still there. Let him finalize the plan for this adventure.

In order to pocket as many mutants as possible on the frontal battlefield at one time, the Joint Rescue Team Command finally decided not to set up a reserve team. Except for the fighters who are fighting the mutants, all those who have completed the ammunition supply will be in the next battle. All the Chinese quilts were put into the battlefield. Among them, CN No. 112, which is highly mobile and has a relatively intact organizational system and command system, will undertake the main assault mission, interspersed from the outermost periphery in the south of the battlefield to the direct rear of the mutants, and completely destroy the mutants. It is possible to get support or withdraw like Sydney, and the 114th and [-]th divisions of the JAP Ground Self-Defense Force will simultaneously complete the siege of the southern battlefield from a position close to the battlefield. In the process of interspersed with the movement, it actively launched a small-scale attack on the mutants, and contained the mutants to a certain extent, so as to reduce the pressure of the CN [-]th Division and other reserve teams on the frontal battlefield.

After the order was issued, the ministries of the human coalition forces quickly passed on the combat plan by relying on signal flares, microphones and other extremely crude communication methods. During the process of transmitting the order, the troops that completed the combat mission assignment began to deploy in an orderly manner, even though there was no radio In the process of deploying troops, there were indeed more than a dozen mistakes or accidents. However, within 10 minutes after the order was issued, the 112th Division of CN and the [-]th Division of JAP who had completed supplies , The Fifth Division has all entered the attack position.

At the same time, at the moment when all the troops were assembled, the frontline troops under orders began to retreat gradually in an orderly manner. In order to create the illusion that human beings were still struggling to resist, even in the process of retreating, the support artillery fire from the rear There was no sign of stopping for a moment. Amidst the rumbling thunder, the reserve team on the front line kept in contact with the mutants, moving the front line back by 30 to 40 kilometers.

During this period, the commander of the original enterovirus also shifted his attention to the frontal battlefield for a short time because of the changes on the front line. In the end, the officer believed that this was just a normal phenomenon of human armored forces due to lack of ammunition. While ordering the mutants under his command to continue the pursuit, he also took out a large number of mutants who were supposed to support the frontal battlefield.

Seeing that the enemy is gradually entering the siege as planned, the commander of the joint rescue team couldn't help but feel that the battle plan went too smoothly, but no matter whether this was a trap deliberately set by the original enterovirus commander, just now The joint rescue that completed the adjustment of troops has been ready to launch from now on.

Then, as one red and two green signal flares lifted off, three divisions and nearly a thousand tanks of the United Human Rescue Team charged across the board from the intended attack position, like an open arm, and enveloped the mutant from the south side of the battlefield. go in.

In the process of rushing to Sydney, the CN 114th Division, whose entire brigade suffered severe damage due to the attack of the original enterovirus commander, had hated the mutants to the core, so the moment the attack signal was lifted into the air, it served as a frontal battlefield containment The CN 114th Division of the mission immediately liberated the firepower that had been actively weakened in order to lure the enemy into deep, and a large-scale exchange of fire/fire with the enemy occurred.

Although it is an extremely difficult test for the 114th Division to resist tens of thousands of mutants with only one division, it is an extremely stupid thing to use tanks and armored vehicles for positional warfare. Of course, the commander of the 114th Division cannot commit Such a low-level mistake.

Therefore, in the signal flare of the charge, the main force of the 114th Division took the initiative to launch an attack on the mutants. However, due to the huge disadvantage of its troops, the 114th Division would not really rush into the army of mutants, but was about to fight against the mutants. When it came into contact, it turned immediately, like a cavalry shooter on the grassland, always kept a safe distance from the mutant and circled around, but during the movement of these steel cavalry, shells were continuously smashed into the vanguard of the mutant, They caused a lot of casualties.

And shortly after the 114th Division and the mutant saw a large-scale exchange of fire, the 5th Division of the JAP Ground Self-Defense Force, which was in charge of encircling from the inside of the battlefield, also broke out fighting with the mutant, although there was no direct control of the original enterovirus commander. These mutants who have gradually fallen into the encirclement net don't know the danger is approaching, but their instinctive hatred of humans still leads them to attack the human army in all directions. The Fifth Division of the JAP Ground Self-Defense Force, The [-]st Division exchanged fire with the counter-attacking mutants one after another, and with the advance of the human coalition forces, the flames of battle spread rapidly, and within a few minutes a battlefield stretching for dozens of kilometers was created.

The 112th Division, which was in charge of the assault mission, also encountered resistance from the mutants. Although the 112th Division's advance direction has been at least 10 kilometers away from the frontal battlefield, don't forget that the mutants were still there a few minutes ago. He took the initiative to launch an offensive on the two wings of the forward of the joint human rescue team. Although the human troops on the frontal battlefield began to retreat actively, the original 'V'-shaped encirclement network of the mutants was forced to be pulled into an inverted 'U' before it was formed. shape, but there are still not a small number of scattered mutants on the two wings of the battlefield.

Of course, these mutants are unlikely to pose much threat to the 112th Division, but in order to be able to reach the mission location within the specified time, and to prevent these small groups of mutants from reporting the 112th Division's action trajectory to the original enterovirus commander, for these Mutants, if they can be discovered in advance and called for long-range support fire coverage in time, then they will be eliminated in advance. If they cannot be eliminated by long-range firepower, then a small number of armored vehicles will also be allocated to contain these mutants, and the 112th Division The main force of the army bypassed the mutants that might expose the joint rescue team's plan, and went straight to the rear of the mutants.

No. 15 minutes into the battle, JAP's Ground Self-Defense Forces had pulled out an offensive front line stretching tens of kilometers from the southeast to southwest of the frontal battlefield, and the Ground Self-Defense Forces had almost completed the southward retreat of the mutants. At the same time as the road was blocked, two red and two green signals also appeared further west—this represented that the CN 112th Division had also completed the task of encircling the mutants.

The most violent attack was still on the reserve team on the frontal battlefield. With the support of long-range artillery fire, the 114th Division contained the mutants around them. The fierce artillery fire and the resolute fighting will of the joint rescue team made the mutants attack several times. None of them could achieve any valuable results. The constantly moving tank swarm was like a wall made of storms, repelling all the attacks of the mutants.

And shortly after the encirclement was completed at CN 112th, the officers and soldiers of the coalition government on the frontal battlefield clearly felt that the firepower of the mutants began to show signs of weakening. At first, it was just that the bone spurs that were shot into the human line became thinner and thinner. And at minute No. 205, even the mutants who threw acid bombs, which caused great trouble to humans, disappeared from the battlefield unknowingly.

Of course, the front-line commanders on the frontal battlefield didn't know that just a few minutes ago, the original enterovirus commander buried almost all the long-range mutants because of his stupid plan, but with the weakening of the mutants' frontal offensive power and various interspersed The troop manning signal was passed into his line of sight, and the human commander knew it was time to attack.

In the next moment, as three red and two green signal flares lifted off, the human armor group on the frontal battlefield launched a full-line counterattack against the mutants. After losing most of their long-range power, the mutants' defense line has become somewhat precarious. The mutants' defenses, which could only be passively bombed by human long-range firepower, were quickly pierced, and when steel monsters came crushing them, the mutants, who had already suffered heavy losses, were almost destroyed at the touch of a finger.

As the front line of the armored cluster continued to advance, the mutants were quickly consumed by the fierce human attacks. In the stage of the largest number, almost all casualties were lost in just a few minutes, and the corpses of incomplete monsters were all over the ground. Yes, in order to wipe out the mutants in the encirclement net as much as possible before the original enterovirus commander came back to his senses, the human armor did not stop for half a second because of the corpses of these mutants. The chariot tracks were soon covered with body parts and black charred wreckage.

The situation on the frontal battlefield changed so quickly that it completely exceeded the expectations of the original enterovirus commander. You must know that just [-] minutes ago, the human army was still being defeated by the counterattack of the mutant army. The edge of the city was pushed back for nearly forty kilometers—in fact, if it weren't for the frontal battlefield, there were signs of gradually improving.The original enterovirus commander did not dare to draw out the long-range mutants on a large scale and invest in the counterattack against the Judgment Day shelter.

However, just a short ten minutes later, the battlefield situation that seemed to be tilting towards the mutants suddenly turned 180°, and the human troops that appeared from nowhere came from three A full-line attack was launched against the mutants in the direction, and the mutant army, which was placed high hopes by the commander of the original enterovirus, was so vulnerable to the attack of the human armor group, even though the mutants on the frontal battlefield still occupied the Huge number advantage, but in the fierce fire suppression of the joint human rescue team and the frenzied attack of the ground troops, the living space of the mutants is being gradually eroded and suppressed.

As the attack intensity of the Human Joint Rescue Team gradually intensified, the battles of the surrounded mutants in all directions showed signs of defeat. This made the original enterovirus commander, who had not yet recovered from the bad news that the long-range troops were almost lost, had to immediately return all his energy to the main battlefield, and tried his best to withdraw as many mutants as possible. Get out of the human encirclement net.

After all, the original enterovirus commander can mobilize only 10,000+ mutants near Sydney, and more than [-] mutants have broken away from his chain of command in the past one hour of battle. If the rescue team completes a large-scale annihilation battle on the frontal battlefield, then the remaining mutants in Sydney may be in danger of being divided and wiped out by the human coalition forces.

However, after the human coalition forces have completed the construction of the encirclement network, it is also almost impossible to complete the evacuation of large troops without paying anything, although the commander of the original enterovirus can also detect the joint rescue team. Due to some reasons, the encirclement network was not completely closed from the north, but after evaluating the possibility of breaking out from this direction, the original enterovirus commander gave up this seemingly attractive option.

The reason why the original enterovirus commander gave up breaking out from this direction was not because he was worried that the human joint rescue team would lay an ambush on the back in advance - after all, with the scale of this joint rescue force, it is impossible to complete the attack on hundreds of thousands of mutants on the plain. Surrounded, but his body is currently trapped in another Adventist shelter in Sydney. After the mutants are evacuated from the north, who will protect his body?

It was a dead end before the commander of the original enterovirus.

Controlling the mutants to escape from the north is of course a very easy thing to do. Even if the armored vehicles of the United Human Rescue Team can run at a maximum speed of several hundred kilometers per hour on the ice, as long as the original enterovirus commander stays If some mutants fight back, then most of the other mutants will naturally have a great chance to escape from the siege of humans.

However, once these mutants are separated from the battlefield in the north, it will not be easy to return to Sydney. Due to the continuous bombing of the joint rescue team and the transfer of the original enterovirus commander, 8 people surrounded by three sides The number of long-range mutants among the tens of thousands of mutants is now less than [-]. Once the human troops set up a line of defense outside Sydney after these mutants fled north, there will be almost no mutants who break out to the north. Any chance of getting back to Sydney.

Of course, due to the limited strength of the Human Joint Rescue Team, it is absolutely impossible for the Joint Rescue Team to put the whole of Sydney into a blockade. Surrounded by the blockade of human forces, and finally returned to the city from the Blue Mountains in the west of Sydney.

However, the entire route of this march has exceeded 180 kilometers. If the mutants are really going to choose this route to break through, even if the mutants keep advancing at full speed and do not encounter any obstacles during the march, it also means that these mutants Cannot be put into battle for at least two hours.And when humans have already occupied the Judgment Day shelter and may advance to Sydney at any time, being unable to receive support for two hours is undoubtedly extremely fatal for the original enterovirus commander.

However, if you do not choose to break out from the north, then whether it is to concentrate forces to attack the human troops in a certain direction, or to resolutely resist on the spot, it is also an unacceptable option for the original enterovirus commander.

After the counterattack against the Judgment Day Shelter was completely wiped out by the human coalition forces, the commander of the original enterovirus had unknowingly developed a faint fear of this human force with high combat effectiveness, and automatically brought the combat power of the human coalition forces to the front After the battlefield, even if there is no evidence, the original enterovirus commander also believes that it is almost a fantasy to repel the onslaught of humans from the front and break through the encirclement of humans with an army surrounded by mutants. If some mutants are lucky enough to retreat to Sydney, the entire mutant army will inevitably pay a huge price—and the mutant army that has suffered heavy losses may not be able to protect its own safety in the search and arrest of the joint rescue team.

After all, after the original enterovirus commander was infected with the original enterovirus under the tricks of the Advent faction, and regained his sanity by accident, this former Adventist fanatic has already expressed his hatred for the Advent faction's so-called "destroy the union" Government', 'Destroy Humanity', 'Destroy Human Tyranny' and other ideas and slogans have created doubts.Although the hatred for the coalition government that abandoned himself and other survivors on the surface and the more than 30 billion people caused this original enterovirus commander to still cooperate with the Advent faction seemingly closely, but when he really When life is threatened, the mutant commander, whose core of thinking projection has become less and less human-like under the erosion of the original enterovirus, will put his own life first.

However, the armored swarms of humans will obviously not give the commander of the original enterovirus even a second to think. Countless shells are still smashing towards the large number of mutants surrounded by the joint rescue team. Lights and signal flares danced in the air, illuminating the battlefield without a ray of sunlight. The shooting trajectory drawn by the tracer bullets and the sparks exploded by the artillery shells accurately marked the enemy's landmarks, guiding the direction of attack for the ground troops. .

After the long-range mutated attack suddenly fell silent, human artillery fire became a force that cannot be ignored on the frontal battlefield. The sound of artillery fire that started before the ground troops exchanged fire has continued until now. The 155 guns carried by the joint rescue team The support artillery of three calibers, 175 and 203, has been consumed by more than half, and even the empty shell casings have been covered with a thick layer of copper color on the shelling positions.

Such a huge consumption of ammunition almost wiped out the entire battlefield. The 114th Division, which is extremely good at coordinated battles with artillery and tanks, slammed into the mutants' line like a torrent of steel almost at the same time as the shelling advanced. , as the steel tracks rumbled across the ice, the mutants who had just survived the bombardment had no time to take a breath of the air with the smell of gunpowder smoke, so they had to drag their scarred bodies to fight against the human armored convoy. into a ball.

Huge armored combat vehicles and equally huge monsters are engaged in fierce battles on the sea east of the Australian mainland. The bombed monster corpses and destroyed tanks, armored vehicles, and exoskeletons are intertwined. Looking along the battlefield, there are everywhere They are all bursting flames and continuous flames.

According to the command's combat plan, the 114th Division's shift from defense to specialization means that all troops on the entire frontal battlefield must immediately attack the mutants, continuously compress the living space of the mutants in the encirclement network, and eliminate the most enemies in the shortest possible time. Mutants.

The two JAP divisions on the south side also pressed down their gun barrels as soon as the offensive signal flares lifted off. The super-heavy tanks with everything from small-caliber machine guns to large-caliber smoothbore guns counterattacked like walking ancient giants. The mutants who came over launched a head-on attack.

Since the main force of the mutants is still on the front line of the battlefield at this time, the pressure on the Fifth Division, which is closer to the western battlefield, is relatively small. The military chief immediately ordered his two wings to take the initiative to launch an attack to the northeast, and the rest of the troops followed the two wings to deal with those who escaped from the encirclement net.

The CN 112th Division, which was deployed on the westernmost side, was also not far behind. After leaving a mechanized infantry brigade to guard against and block the mutants who came to support in Sydney, the 112th Division was all put into front-line combat. Time to grasp the dynamics of the troops, the 112th Division even pushed the division command vehicle to a position less than two kilometers away from the battlefield.

And on the frontal battlefield where the artillery fire is the most intense and dense, the 114th Division, which vowed to use the blood of the enemy to pay homage to the dead comrades in arms, also launched a fierce attack on the mutants at this moment. At the moment of the attack order, the direction was changed, and a soldier wearing an exoskeleton leaped down from the armored vehicle, and launched a coordinated attack with the chariot troops on the mutants. Light and heavy weapons of various calibers flew in all directions, whizzing Amidst the rockets passing by, the armored troop who turned the front of the car rolled up a wave of steel frenzy, and rushed towards the mutant army who couldn't stop the car.

After mankind launched an all-out counterattack, the dark nights in the southern hemisphere have been lit up countless times by raging fires, and the thick and towering ice layers trembled, shattered and collapsed amidst layers of explosions. In front of the mighty human power that had to tremble, the number of mutants surrounded was rapidly consumed. Half an hour ago, there were nearly [-] mutants, and in the blink of an eye, there were only a little over [-] left.

And until this time, after discovering that a large number of mutants had disappeared from his perception range, the commander of the original enterovirus once again realized that his time was running out, and the commander of the original enterovirus, unwilling to sit still, finally decided to mutate The main force of the attackers was all transferred back to the southwest, and they broke through from a fire gap of about two kilometers between the CN 112th Division and the JAP [-]th Division, while the east, south, and west sides were all defensive. And containment, the active attack of a small group of troops constantly harassed the human troops, delaying the attack of the human armored corps.

However, regarding the choice of the commander of the original enterovirus, the Joint Rescue Team Command had already expected this. Although the command could not confirm from which direction the mutants would break out, they met during the march from Guam to Sydney. The received blocking has made the United Rescue Team fully realize that the original enterovirus commander in Sydney is very good at using small troops to carry out blocking warfare.Therefore, before the official start of this battle of annihilation, the headquarters has repeatedly emphasized to the officers at the division and brigade level that after the general offensive begins, all troops must set up one or two brigades of cleaning troops in addition to the troops conducting frontal assaults. , and the troops undertaking the assault mission must not relish fighting, and must resolutely divide and annihilate the mutants in the encirclement net.

According to the instructions of the headquarters, if the troops encounter the enemy's counterattack during the assault, and the opposing troops are only a small group of mutant harassing troops that are not very threatening, then if the frontal assault armor group cannot directly destroy them in one go, then It is absolutely impossible to have a long tug-of-war with these small groups of mutants, and directly send these small groups of mutants to the rear cleaning troops to deal with them. The front-line armored groups need to directly bypass these mutants and continue their attacks.And if the enemy encountered is stronger, but obviously not the main force of the mutants, then the assault force should use a small group of troops to withstand the enemy's attack, wait for the support firepower of the human coalition or the follow-up cleaning force to wait for an opportunity to surround or annihilate this group. Mutant troops, and the rest of the main force still need to continue to attack as planned until they actually contact the main force of the mutants.

As a result, when groups of mutants were separated under the control of the original enterovirus commander, and took the initiative to rush towards the encirclement net that the United Rescue Team gradually gathered, the various armored groups of the Joint Rescue Team did not have any contact with them at all. Almost all of their plans were to fine-tune their direction as soon as they saw the figures of these mutants, and directly left the small army of these mutants behind.

However, when the original enterovirus commander tried to make these mutants chase in the direction of the human tanks to attract their attention, the artillery fire from behind their buttocks immediately built a wall of fire among these mutants , can only pick up a little bit of leftovers left over by the brother troops on the second line, which already makes these proud elite troops feel extremely unhappy, so when these mutant harassing troops are thrown into the human cleanup force When he was in front of him, he was immediately crushed into the dust of history in the turbulent waves, with almost no power to fight back.

Since these harassment troops failed to achieve the expected results, the 112th Division located in the west and the [-]th Division located in the southeast were in contact with the large forces of mutants on the march. All the mutants who were surrounded were directly bitten and wiped out by the joint human rescue team. The commander of the original enterovirus had to choose to cut off their tails to survive, and separated a total of [-] mutants in the west and east to resist humans. The onslaught of the United Rescue Team.

However, as the 112th hour advanced, the opening in the southwest became larger because the distance between the troops gradually widened.

The 112th Division of the CN Guards and the 112th Division of the JAP Ground Self-Defense Force are responsible for encircling the west and south respectively. Although these two units should be under the jurisdiction of the coalition government in name, they cannot be obtained at the coalition government headquarters for the time being. At the time of contact, the highest command of the East Asian troops was in the hands of the CN branch, but because the CN and JAP troops had not conducted cooperative operations for a long time in the past ten years, and the influence of the electromagnetic interference environment also made Communication between the various units became extremely difficult. Therefore, when the general offensive began, the encirclement net that should have been gradually closed inwards in an '凵' shape also gradually became smaller due to the different densities of enemies encountered by each unit during the march. It became an inverted 'convex' shape, and because the JAP Fifth Division had advanced too far to the northeast, they had pulled away from the CN [-]th Division by about eight kilometers.

The original enterovirus commander, who can sense changes in the battlefield situation in a timely manner through the link of thinking, is more aware of this gap in the encirclement network than the human joint rescue team. The 112th Division launched a fierce attack, and on the other side controlled more than 3 mutants who had not yet been caught in the flames of war and rushed towards the southwest corner, trying to retreat to Sydney through this opening.

Although the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft of the human coalition forces had already detected the attempts of these mutants at the first time, and immediately launched a new bombardment coordinate to the rear, the commander of the original enterovirus, who had already put all his eggs in one basket, could not care about ordering the mutants at this time. Dodging the shelling, all the mutants who hadn't exchanged fire with humans rushed over to the southwest of the battlefield in a mess.

Since the human coalition forces cannot send information to the coalition government forces on the frontal battlefield in a timely manner under the electromagnetic interference environment, when the mutant army arrives at this gap, the only thing that stands in the way of the mutant evacuation is the 112rd Brigade of the 343th Division of CN The 3rd Tank Battalion.

A total of 33 tanks.

0372

Anyone who is still sane can see that it is almost impossible to hold this position under the attack of tens of thousands of mutants with only the little troops that can be mobilized by the 3rd Battalion.

In order to allow the armored clusters of each unit to attack more smoothly after completing the encirclement, the joint rescue team chose to start the attack on a flat ice field. Among them, the 3rd Battalion's defensive position is more than 700 meters apart from the position five kilometers to the east. Outside of the long gap, the entire battlefield can be said to have almost no ups and downs.

Although this kind of terrain is indeed conducive to the mobile combat of tanks, it also means that the position of the 3rd Battalion does not have any favorable terrain to organize defenses. There is no other feasible combat strategy other than head-to-head combat.

The choice of mutants from the southwest location of the battlefield is not too unexpected for the United Rescue Team.

Since the human coalition forces have wiped out most of the long-range mutants that can be mobilized by the original enterovirus commander, it is undoubtedly extremely unwise to continue to engage in large-scale field battles with humans on the ice east of Sydney. , although fighting in open areas can allow mutants to give full play to their numerical advantages, they must also face continuous long-range bombing by human artillery units, and considering that the original enterovirus commanders have successively lost more than [-] mutants Or, it would seem foolish to continue to deplete humanity's ammunition stockpile with fewer and fewer mutants.

In this case, even if an experienced human general is placed in the position of the original enterovirus commander, the first thing he must do is to get the troops on the open ice out of contact with the human armored swarm as soon as possible. Contact and find a way to withdraw into the Sydney city, so that he can use the frozen building remains in the Sydney city to avoid or reduce the intensity of human long-range fire.

At the same time, although the mutants' numerical advantages cannot be fully utilized in urban street battles, for large human vehicles, combat in urban environments is even more unfavorable to them.If the human armored forces really dare to chase into the city and start street fighting with the mutants, then the mutants can also use the urban terrain to launch a counterattack against the weakening of the armored forces—or at least they can use the street fighting to consume a lot of human vitality.

The CN position in the southwest of the encirclement network is only less than 40 kilometers away from the city of Sydney. Once the mutants can break through this human position, they can return to the city of Sydney in less than 10 minutes, so no matter where they are stationed No matter how many human troops are captured, the southwest side of the encirclement network will become the highest priority direction to break out of the encirclement except for the north position where no one is encircled.

Of course, the United Human Rescue Team is also aware of this, and had the idea of ​​sending troops to defend the southwest from the very beginning, but in the end this idea was just an idea—because the United Rescue Team also had no choice.

In order to complete the encirclement and annihilation of the mutants in the protruding part in the shortest possible time, the joint rescue team did not reserve any reserve team when formulating the plan. Although this greatly improved the front-line firepower and impact capabilities of the troops, But it will also lead to the gradual expansion of the battle area, and the front-line commanders will not have any mobile support forces in their hands. This makes the front-line commanders have to keep an eye on the progress of the battle situation at all times, and use limited forces to conduct more reasonable operations. Deployment, so that more troops can be invested in areas with more intensive firefights.

Before the mutants formally broke out, in order to prevent the joint rescue team from further oppressing, and to prevent the human troops from finding out and completely surrounding all the mutants' main forces and directly encircling and suppressing the mutants' main force, the original enterovirus commander had divided More than 3 mutants were used to attack the CN 112th Division due west and the JAP [-]th Division due south.

Since the long-range mutants had been almost exhausted in previous battles at this time, the mutants could only attack the human armies in the west and south without any support.

Although the attacks of the mutants were repulsed by humans again and again, they would launch more violent attacks again and again. In the battlefield filled with smoke, the corpses of the mutants who fell in front of the human firepower network quickly piled up into a small barrier.

The deaths and injuries of countless mutants are not meaningless. In addition to successfully slowing down the attack speed of the human armored forces, due to the dark electromagnetic interference environment, most of the human detection methods cannot be used. Therefore, when tens of thousands When the mutants launched a comprehensive and continuous counterattack against the human offensive line from a front line of more than ten kilometers, the lack of intelligence and the signs of increasingly violent firefights gave way to the frontline commanders on the western front who made serious mistakes in judgment:

He regarded the mutants who took the initiative to attack as the main force of the mutants, and ordered the troops on both wings to gradually expand a small encirclement to the middle battle area, trying to swallow the group of mutants alive in one go.

The fifth division of JAP located in the south is also facing a similar situation. After relying on Bushido's sufficient firepower and the characteristics of rough skin and thick flesh to push the front line to the northeast for more than 20 kilometers, the JAP Ground Self-Defense Force itself that is too deep There has already been a serious disconnect with the CN 112th Division in the west. Therefore, when the JAP [-]th Division fell into continuous combat with the large force of mutants, the number of troops deployed to the southwest was much weaker.

The combination of the two naturally widened the distance between the 112th Division and the Fifth Division, and finally turned into an eight-kilometer gap before the mutants officially broke through.

However, whether it was the 112th CN Division's misjudgment or the JAP [-]th Division's excessive mistakes that caused it to be out of touch with friendly operations, they were all within the expectations of the Joint Rescue Team Command.

In fact, before the Battle of Sydney officially started, the Joint Rescue Team knew very well that if they wanted to conduct large-scale operations in an environment of strong electromagnetic interference, the coordination and cooperation among the various forces would definitely be the decisive factor in determining the final outcome of the battle. It is an important factor to meet the expectations of the headquarters, especially when the joint rescue team decides to completely surround and annihilate the protruding mutants, the troops of the joint rescue team belonging to the two countries still need to carry out large-scale, long-distance marches and battles , everyone knows that under such circumstances, it is simply nonsense to want the various troops to continue to maintain perfect cooperation.

However, being prepared for the breakout by mutants does not mean that the joint rescue team can accept this result safely. After all, the joint rescue team mainly composed of mechanized troops is not suitable for large-scale urban operations, let alone covering the entire city at this moment. The strong electromagnetic interference on the Sydney battlefield does not know when it will dissipate. Under such circumstances, letting the joint rescue team start street fighting will definitely put the joint rescue team at a natural disadvantage. The balance of war tilted towards the human side might be reversed in an instant.

What's more, the four divisions of the United Rescue Team have successfully completed the siege of the mutant army, and are gradually eroding the living space of the mutants. At this time, the sudden notification of the failure of the combat mission is like winning 500 million. When redeeming the prize, I suddenly found that the prize ticket was messed up when I washed the clothes yesterday, which made me mad.

Therefore, even though the remaining rationality has told every soldier of the third battalion stationed here that it is impossible for them to stop the onslaught of the mutant army, the strong unwillingness and the honor of being a soldier still keep them from getting any rewards. In the case of mandatory orders, they devoted themselves to blocking the mutants without hesitation.

"Boom!" Amidst the frenetic explosion, a 125mm armor-piercing bullet accurately hit a running mutant, and the huge kinetic energy pierced through it instantly, and the deadly metal fragments penetrated the torn The wound seeped into his tissue fluid, and quickly spread throughout his body. Before the mutant could let out a wail, the armor-piercing warhead that flew flying had hit his cheek, and the hot metal jet was blowing his solid epidermis to pieces. While shredding, a large piece of internal organs were also burned into coke.

In order to avoid the situation where the mutant army bypassed its own defense line and directly retreated into Sydney, facing the menacing mutant army, the more than 30 chariots responsible for defending the southeast area did not choose to retreat or stand by for help, but fired continuously. After firing four red flares, he took the initiative to attack in the direction of the mutant.Facing another play of human beings that did not follow the routine, the commander of the original enterovirus, who thought he could break through smoothly, couldn't help being stunned for a while, and let the tanks rush into the herbivore like a group of lions. The messy army of mutants made it even more chaotic.

As the troops of both sides continued to approach, in order to prevent the mutants from breaking through on the eight-kilometer front, the armored convoy of the 3rd Battalion formed a group of two tanks, with a distance of at least 300 meters between each group of tanks, roaring and rushing forward. Entering the swarm of mutants who are still in chaos, the 12.7mm coaxial machine gun and 125mm smoothbore gun will kill the mutants one after another, and the rockets fired from the auxiliary weapon rack from time to time will try to bypass the mutants of the human convoy Those who blew up a person turned his back on his back.

Due to the fact that the human troops deployed at this position are too few, the people and mutants a few kilometers away did not have a clear understanding of these tanks before they launched an attack. When these tanks threw rounds of shells at the mutant When they were at the vanguard of the mutants, many mutants were beaten to pieces by the whistling sound of 125mm smoothbore guns before they even realized that they were being attacked.

In order to help this army cut off the mutant's retreat route, when the 3rd Battalion was engaged in battle with the mutant's forward, the human coalition had already discovered the mutant's movement through the reconnaissance drone. The artillery fire was thrown on the mutant's head. In just 2 minutes, the human coalition forces had already poured more than 3000 artillery shells and rockets into this battle zone less than eight kilometers away. On average, one shell would be eaten within ten meters. Such intensive bombardment almost completely wiped out the entire battlefield with artillery fire.

However, in the face of the indiscriminate bombing of the human coalition forces, the commander of the original enterovirus who was commanding the breakout was already red-eyed at this time. The commander controlled the mutants to launch a crazy attack on more than 30 human vehicles regardless of casualties and costs.

After all, if these more than 30 human chariots cannot be cleared as soon as possible, then under their agitation, the retreat speed of the mutants will become extremely slow, and the slow retreat speed means that more mutants need to form a phalanx. The shape stayed longer under the fierce artillery fire of the human coalition forces, and in the face of the concentrated attack of the 155mm howitzers, even if they stayed for a second longer, it meant that at least three-digit or more mutants would disappear completely.

Therefore, the mutant commander knows that if he wants to withdraw more mutants from the frontal battlefield, he must take down all these blocking human tanks in the shortest time, otherwise once the troops of the Human Joint Rescue Team respond Come here and close the hole again, and what awaits them is nothing but invincibility.

Facing the siege and interception of the original enterovirus commander, although this army, which had won major honorary titles in the war of the last century, could always slip out of the encirclement net like a loach before the mutants completely surrounded them, but with More and more mutants joined the battle, and the 3rd Battalion gradually showed its decline.

There are really too few human troops stationed here. Even though they have placed all bets on the table, including their own lives, the casualties they can cause to the mutants are still very limited.

Even though the vanguard of the mutants fell into chaos for a while due to the attack of these dozens of human vehicles, under the control of the original enterovirus commander, no matter how many mutants were wiped out and disturbed by humans at the previous moment, at the next moment, he will always Can take out more mutants to start and rebuild the siege of the 3rd Battalion.

After another 2 minutes of fighting, almost every chariot was covered with scratches, scratches and bite scars. The vehicle warning device has been beeping non-stop since no one knew when, as if to declare that this human armor The fate of the troops is coming to an end.

A CN main battle tank that had just smeared a 125mm armor-piercing bullet on the face of a mutant was backing up at full speed, but only heard 'Kang! ' With a loud impact, a mutant with the size of an adult African elephant suddenly jumped out of a pile of mutant corpses, and slammed into the right rear of the retreating CN main battle tank. The side body, under the huge impact, the entire tank was directly overturned to the side, and a driver whose helmet was smashed into half rolled out of the cracked body, blood on his head made him His face looked extremely hideous.

"Boom!" Not far from the overturned chariot, another CN tank in his group was also locked in a very small range under the siege of dozens of mutants. After the breakout failed, the tank held its turret high, desperately firing shells at the approaching mutants, until groups of mutants began to bite his outer armor, the drivers of the two tanks smiled and shot one The grenade that was pulled out of the ring was thrown into the ammunition room of the tank. With a loud noise, a large number of mutants were blown to the sky in the explosion of the tank.

At this time, the battle has been in the 5th minute. The 112rd Brigade of the 343th Division of CN and the 21st Tank Regiment of the Fifth Division of JAP, which received the signal, have completed the reorganization of troops and are on their way quickly. Judging from the status of the divisions, the fastest-moving friendly troops among them can enter the battlefield in only 3 minutes at most.

As long as the reinforcements arrive, the original enterovirus commander's dream of rushing to the southwest to break through will be shattered immediately, but conversely, if the mutant army breaks through the 3rd Battalion's interception at this time, before the arrival of the human support troops, at least There may be more than 3 mutants who have the opportunity to withdraw to the Sydney city, so the current position of the [-]rd Battalion is crucial to both the joint rescue team and the original enterovirus commander.

However, the 3rd Battalion has less than half of its strength left at this moment.

It is almost impossible for any military expert with common sense to use a battalion and 33 tanks to resist the impact of tens of thousands of mutants. With a chance of winning, the 3rd Battalion had already wiped out their fortunes in a few minutes.

There was no need for any political mobilization at all. All the soldiers of the 3rd Battalion knew clearly that it was now the most critical moment of life and death. Facing another round of more violent attacks from the mutants, the 3rd Battalion still did not choose to retreat, but continued to choose to split the mutants' attacks head-on.

Volume 384 The Radiance of the Sun: Chapter 0373 Chapter [-] Elimination

0373

The blocking battle that took place in the southwest of the encirclement network of the joint rescue team has been going on for 8 minutes. The battle of the 112rd Battalion of the 343rd Brigade of the 3th Division of the CN is still going on. Rising from the battlefield, in the overflowing flame vortex, the mutants involved in the explosion will soon be torn into several irregular polygons by the impact and shrapnel.

Under the crazy attack of mutants, only the last seven tanks of the 3rd Battalion were left at this moment. The battalion still stands majestically amidst the mutants.
