novelThe Encounter Battle Inside The Tunnel
| ← Ch.1197 | Ch.1199 → |
The elevator doors opened and a row of NAC soldiers wearing kinetic skeletons marched out. Almost instantly, the elevator door closed as soon as the last soldier's heel stepped out. Then, the elevator moved back to the negative twentieth floor.
Just like this, the elevator moved between the negative twentieth and the negative twenty-first floor. In just half an hour, NAC deployed 100 power armors, 500 soldiers, and 40 engineer soldiers to the tunnel under the Pan-Asia Cooperation Building.
Under the firepower of the power armors, the zombies wandering at the station were quickly eradicated. The engineering soldiers at the rear brought pieces of machinery forward and began to repair the concrete wall.
As the bayonet was pulled out from the head of a Night Demon, Zhang Zhuo pressed the headset on the helmet and reported it to the ground command center.
"... The zombies in the subway station have been cleared... Yes, dangerous species have been spotted, and we're not ruling out that more dangerous species are moving to the area."
"Immediately repair the tunnel, " Han Junhua ordered."Also, mobilize the power armors immediately. You must catch up to the general in the shortest possible time."
"Roger."
After the communication ended, Zhang Zhuo gestured to his vice-captain behind him. After the vice-captain jogged to him, he ordered.
"I'm delegating to you the task of building the defense line. I will bring the force to support the general."
"Yes!" The vice-captain saluted.
"Be meticulous, this is a direct order from the chief of staff! You must make no mistakes!" He patted his subordinate on the shoulder and reminded one last time. He then handed over the authority of the infantry to the vice-captain, turned around and walked toward the assembled power armors.
All the preparations were complete. Zhang Zhuo was prepared to order the force to advance into the deep tunnel, but from the direction of Line 27, some tremors shook the earth.
"What's that sound?" Zhang Zhuo frowned as he looked toward the direction of Line 27.
His first officer was also confused as he pinpointed the direction.
"Judging by the sound, it doesn't sound like zombies... I will send someone to take a look."
The first officer ordered into his headset.
Soon, two scouts were sent out and they jogged in the direction of Line 27.
However, just after crossing the broken concrete wall, the two scouts stopped. Fear was seen from the reflection inside their tactical helmet...
Without the time to even say a word, the roar of the explosion filled the tunnel!
With a loud explosion, the two scouts were turned into pieces in the raging shrapnel...
Zhang Zhuo's pupils suddenly contracted.
A dreadful thought suddenly appeared in his mind.
It's the CCCP tanks!
Without time to hesitate, Zhang Zhuo decisively shouted in the communication channel.
"TAKE COVER! PREPARE TO FIRE!"
He didn't need to remind the team. Immediately when the explosion happened, the engineer soldiers abandoned the pieces of machinery in their hands and retreated to the back. At the same time, the soldiers who were resting immediately began seeking cover.
The power armors that had been assembled also scattered around, leaning against the concrete bunker inside and outside the station.
Zhang Zhuo glanced at the hole in the tunnel. He pulled out two burning rods from the waist of the power armor and threw them toward the broken wall.
The orange-red flame illuminated the dark battlefield.
Almost at the same time, a tank painted with snow camouflage drove across the broken concrete wall. Without the slightest omen, the menacing muzzle fired at the NAC soldiers.
"BOOM!"
A high-explosive round fired not far from Zhang Zhuo and the flying shrapnel scratched against the power armor, making a screeching sound. Fortunately, the shot was fired aimlessly, causing no casualties.
Through the cover provided by the shot, the soldiers wearing winter clothes rushed out from the rear of the tank.
Shouting "For Mother Russia", the soldiers fearlessly rushed towards the NAC.
"OPEN FIRE!"
In the deafening roar, Zhang Zhuo raised his tactical rifle and unleashed bullets first.
Rifles were placed onto the bunker one after the other as bullets began to fire at the charging Russian soldiers.
The sound of the bullets hitting the tank rang throughout the tunnel and the soldiers rushing out from behind the tank were also shot, falling one after another. Their blood splashed across the battlefield and dyed their snow camouflage paint bright red...
Soaring bullets flew just above their heads as the NAC soldiers leaned against the concrete bunker and reloaded. Then, they continued to aim at the soldiers flooding out from the tank.
Looking at the corpses that fell one after another in pools of blood, and the ones continuing to advance, seemingly unafraid of death, his scalp felt numb as he cursed.
"Fu*k, are these Russians trying to reincarnate?"
"I suspect these are fake Russians..."
The soldier who was next to him felt something was off, but he could not pinpoint the abnormality.
The battle was in a stalemate.
With CCCP soldiers charging relentlessly, they eventually ripped a hole in NAC's firepower and established a foothold north of the subway station.
The first tank already rolled into the subway station, and the second tank ensued.
Then, the soldiers wearing kinetic skeletons began to join the CCCP front. These soldiers wearing kinetic skeletons were far superior to those of the "Kamikaze soldiers" in both accuracy and firepower.
Obviously, these soldiers were the core strength of CCCP.
The NAC, which possessed a terrain advantage, was starting to lose its grip on the battle.
But the good days of the Russians were about to end.
When Han Junhua sent the forces down, she certainly considered the possibility of encountering CCCP tanks. After all, the team that Jiang Chen encountered was obviously not the full force of the CCCP. Precisely because of this, not only was cement used for wall building sent down, but also the Scorpion Anti-armor RPG!
When the second tank bulldozed through the broken wall, the Scorpion RPG finally arrived.
The soldiers behind cover set aside their rifles as they accepted the RPGs from the comrades in the rear. They put the rocket launchers on the shoulder, unlocked the safety, and locked onto the tank beside the wall.
"Go to hell!"
With a repressed, low-pitched, roar, the Scorpion RPG dragged an orange-colored tail flame and smashed directly onto the surface of the tank...
...
"... CCCP armored forces appeared in the tunnel, we're under attack! I REPEAT! WE'RE UNDER ATTACK!"
In the ground command center, Han Junhua expressionlessly nodded after she listened to Zhang Zhuo's report in front of the map. Her emotion did not waver by the slightest.
"Got it."
Ending the communication, Han Junhua looked up to the holographic screen.
What emerged in front of her was the three-dimensional composition blueprint of a CCCP tank.
The Polar Bear KV-9 tank was built with a high-density alloy composite steel with a strength similar to Grade-A Steel in PAC standard. The main gun was either 58mm or 75mm-calibre. Based on the length of the barrel, the KV-9 was either the support type or the attack type.
The heavy armor had almost no weakness. Even the Type-50 electromagnetic pulse cannon could not stall the tank. Even without the annoying Wanderer's Tank Meissner effect armor, it was still a tough opponent.
Of course, there were certainly ways to deal with this type of tank.
It was not without reason the KV-9 was dispatched to Uelen. Because of the extra-thick armor, the overly compact design for increased maneuverability resulted in a poor tank cooling system, and the tank crew wass almost sitting directly on the engine.
A few simple incendiary bombs may be more effective than Scorpion rockets.
Just two minutes ago, she had already issued an order to the expeditionary army. A fully armed "incendiary" unit was already sent to the minus 20th floor.
Turning off the hologram, Han Junhua's eyes locked on the map on the command desk.
Fixing her sight on Line 2, she whispered in her heart.
Please make it...
For some unknown reason, her cold heart inexplicably trembled.
She pressed her hand against her chest and frowned.
However, just as she wanted to reflect on what she was feeling, the feeling seemed to have slipped away like sand through her fingers. It was as if she never felt it...
