People's Federation will live forever

...

Tiberium Steam Warhead - Adding liquid Tiberium to a catalyst causes a violent fission-like reaction, the most destructive of the non-nuclear weapons in the Brotherhood's possession.And this missile, which has been flying in the air for half a minute, has arrived above Li De and the others under the guidance of the drone, and hovered slightly, waiting for the armored vehicle of Li De and the others to run as far as possible. .

The fuel was exhausted in an instant, and the missile body separated and ejected some green glass spheres to the surroundings. Under the impact, these spheres shattered in the air, and the liquid inside quickly volatilized into translucent steam when it encountered air. Spread over hundreds of meters square, and then start a chain reaction.

The flash of the explosion was far faster than the sound. At the line of defense more than ten kilometers away, both the apostles and the orcs could see the brilliance comparable to the sun shining on the horizon, and a mushroom cloud rose from the ground, accompanied by a thunderous sound. The tremors coming from the ground, as well as the air waves sweeping across the entire position, indicated that something terrible had happened there.

The energy released by the 5 kg liquid Thai charge is equivalent to detonating [-] tons of TNT. This strong signal will also be observed by the Wei'an satellite thousands of miles away.

The same is true for the fraternity, the signal has been sent, but Olivia, who was rushing on the road, just glanced there and twisted the accelerator to accelerate the motorcycle forward.

"Da da da..."

A barrage of machine gun fire splattered the road behind her, spattering concrete.After rushing back here from the front line, she was also targeted by a group of predatory beasts that infiltrated. They followed behind her, constantly trying to kill herself with machine guns and rockets.She swerved to dodge the oncoming rocket, and two missiles from the launcher in the trunk blasted a marauder trailing her into pieces in the air.

Fighting is fought on every inch of the city, except on the most stressed front lines.Quadruple anti-aircraft guns rained bullets across the sky, and the orc marauders were driven and shredded.The roar of the guns never stopped, and the black hands connected the ruins and the buildings into a whole, allowing the orcs to attack the defense lines, minefields, and firepower points in vain. Shoots a string of flames.The purifying fire engulfed the orcs including their corpses. Shouting the name of Olivia, the apostles crossed the line of defense and counterattacked the orcs' positions. With the advantage of their equipment, they destroyed the orcs' caves and destroyed their mortar positions. The cover of the air fighters returned to their own lines.

Olivia was procrastinating. She restrained her desire to give a counterattack order, and waited patiently for the moment.Taking advantage of the chaos caused by the vehicle-mounted missiles, she successfully crossed the intersection, and immediately a group of apostles came to meet her. The shoulder-mounted rocket launcher fired tracking missiles, and a four-wheel drive vehicle equipped with a heavy machine gun also arrived. Shoot to drive the pack of marauders away.

Beyond this checkpoint came a mixed armored force—Scorpion tanks, APCs, [-]WDs, and a battalion of infantry.This scheduled assembly point has been prepared for a long time as the spearhead of the counterattack.Olivia parked the car next to the garrison, and when she got out of the car, a black-handed officer came up to her. It was the first company commander Maxion who had already shown up, and was now promoted to major.

He raised his hand to salute Olivia, and reported:

"General! The 'Saints' armored regiment is not full yet, but we are ready for battle."

Of course, more than 20 tanks and patchwork of light armor units cannot be considered full, and the quality cannot satisfy Olivia, but in Li De's words - enough.

Taking off the windshield, Olivia flicked her somewhat messy long hair: "What about the battle situation and the movements of the orcs, Major Maxion?"

"The front line of defense is very solid, but the orcs have begun to slow down their offensive. Some orcs appeared behind the line of defense to harass, but automatic turrets are easy to suppress." The major followed Olivia to the armored unit, and the soldiers along the way solemnly Hats off to the two, "but the orc air force is a nuisance, they're plentiful, and can always bypass our air force and air defenses and drop infantry in cities, although they don't do much damage, but..."

Olivia nodded, not out of her expectation: "As for the air force, I will ask Ensig's engineering unit to install more turrets... It seems that their commanders have realized that there is no hope for the front , Immediately there will be a frontal feint attack and a flank penetration, asking the front line to deploy troops to form two mobile companies, and if they come from a long way around the city, I will stop them."

"Yes, General!"

As she said that, Olivia quickly boarded a Scorpion tank. She stood on the roof of the vehicle, and all the apostles around stood at attention to salute their general.Receiving the reverent gazes of hundreds of people, Olivia pulled out her sonic long knife and pointed it at the sky:

"The orcs can't bear the loss anymore. They want to jump over the wall, but I won't give them any chance!"

"All soldiers loyal to the brotherhood and loyal to me, get on the bus and go with me, we must strike first!"

PS: Well, I’m also writing while thinking, things like foam anti-explosion agents should not be too high-tech, but I just use them that way.

The next chapter is at night, and taking a day off made me jet-lagged.

Chapter 75 Air Defense Units, Full Alert

Going back to six hours ago, Olivia personally asked the heavy factory to arrange the air defense for the unit of the looting beast that appeared among the orcs encountered by the transport team, and when she exchanged opinions with Li De, Surprised by the demands of the leader.

"slingshot?"

Don't get me wrong, the thing that surprised Olivia is definitely not a child's toy, but an "advanced front-line air defense" vehicle belonging to GDI. ", which means-the air force of the Brotherhood is all paper airplanes, and we can shoot them down with slingshots!

Li De's meaning is also very simple-shooting down the orc's plundering beasts is no different from shooting birds. These aliens that fly too slowly and cannot exceed the speed of sound, but there are a lot of them, just use a slingshot.

This made Olivia very displeased. She directly contacted Li De and asked, "Why not use Mantis? What about our invisible tank?"

Relying on the Brotherhood's advanced electronic technology and unique Tiberium core, the Brotherhood's missile technology is unique in the world.Miniaturization, modularity, automation, everything from ballistic missiles to fist-sized swarm missiles, Olivia is proud of the results despite being a World War II figure.

But Li De had a different opinion, and he explained earnestly: "General, this is a cost issue. I don't deny that we have a more reliable missile defense system, but in terms of cost-effectiveness, we can't do it in the future." In a short period of time, the 'self-propelled missile launcher' that can be used in this battle can be produced, and the military factory can't provide so much ammunition production capacity..."

Ammunition, that's right, at the front line of the fierce battle of the Black Hand Legion, there are also a large number of transport trucks rushing to deliver ammunition for the apostles.The advanced level of an army can generally be seen from its logistics, and supplies are the basis of all combat power.Now the Black Hand Legion with only 2000 members consumes 100 million rounds of ammunition every minute and tons of shells. Ten tons of ammunition and equipment will consume Tiberium ore much faster than building a base.

"Even if the heavy factory has a 3D printing production line, the time it takes to dismantle a stealth tank without the stealth module off the production line is counted in hours, and it can't keep up with our next big battle."

However, this result still does not satisfy Olivia: "I read the production drawings, and the production time of a mantis is no longer than that of a slingshot, and the suspension chassis of the slingshot is also a waste."

"General, that's not how accounts are calculated." Li De lamented in his heart. His general only cared about the efficiency of the war, he only wanted better weapons, and he didn't care about the cost at all.Mantises have the same production time as slingshots, but ammo is not counted that way.

A swarm missile consists of shell, charge, control module, fuel and booster, but a 30mm caliber anti-aircraft gun can be simply understood as an enlarged version of a machine gun. The production time and material consumption are not at the same level. .What's more, in the face of orcs who win by quantity and are all flesh and blood creatures, they are only worthy of guns. The Brotherhood's technical advantages are too great to be used.

"Also, general, at least we can let the slingshot lower the field of fire, shoot the infantry flat, and increase the firepower of our troops at critical times."

The final result is that in order to control the cost, missile units were not invested in this battle. Instead, the suspension chassis was also canceled, and the cannon and radar were changed to the "Tempest" self-propelled anti-aircraft gun on the ACU armored vehicle chassis. This temporary product has the same performance as the The Slingshot is the same, except it doesn't go as fast.

(The four generations of GDI dared to put the Predator tank turret on the armored vehicle chassis, I think my design will not be wrong)

"All air defense units, fully alert!"

Dots of black shadows appeared in the sky in front of the artillery positions, and the number that could be seen within the visible range was no less than forty.Predators, these floating meat balloons touched the front of the artillery positions along the trajectory of the shells. The orcs could not let the large troops dig through the urban area of ​​more than ten kilometers to the heels of the positions, and these predators were separated by nearly a kilometer away From the distance, a series of rockets were shot here, and then the formation spread out and rushed towards the position separately.

The orcs are learning, too, and at least now they don't huddle together anymore after seeing the firepower of these humans.The whistling sound of the rockets was like a sharp bagpipe, and the orcs fired hundreds of bullets at a time in order to cover the entire position. Although the accuracy was not good, many rockets were still doing Brownian motion and deviated from the track, but only a few of them could Hitting these streaking self-propelled artillery and fully loaded ammunition carts will be worth the price of the one-way ticket.

But the Brotherhood was not stupid either. The gunners boarded the vehicle and put away the hoe, and the front of the self-propelled artillery and ammunition vehicles did not adjust, and they started to reverse directly.Seeing this, the predators also accelerated towards the convoy. The scattered rockets exploded on the ground but did not cause any damage. This time they were going to move closer and fire again.

The first to fire was the three-beast cannon mounted on the head of the plundering beast. The machine gun bullets turned up the soil along the rut of the convoy's retreat, and the rain of bullets hit the shell of the cannon carriage, sparking sparks, but these 7.62 caliber sub- Bullets can only be used to create momentum.In the eyes of the orc pilots, this kind of retreat is like fleeing, just like the cowardly behavior of human beings.

The predator screamed sharply, and the orc pilot on his back yanked hard on the lever connected to the monster's nerve bundles. Its six tentacles ejected compressed air backwards, increasing the speed further.It was approaching, and the pilot had already locked on to the convoy through the simple sighting equipment. It calculated the advance, and when it was about to start the rocket launcher, the predatory beast under it suddenly trembled.

"!"

Before the pilot could react, his mount was instantly torn apart. With a "whoosh", a scorching piece of metal scraped across the pilot's side face. It subconsciously touched it with its hand, but it touched its own gums—half of the face's flesh had been blown away by the bullet wind, and the pain But it never came.

"Roar!" it roared in despair, the plundering beast under it had exploded like a balloon, causing it to fall powerlessly. Facing the strong wind, it opened its eyes, only to see several cars painted in camouflage colors coming out of the woods. An armored vehicle with four parallel machine guns with extremely long barrels on top of it.

The six-wheeled tracks ran over the evacuated artillery positions, and the cylindrical air-to-air radar behind the turret locked the Ravager firmly. For the solo pilots of the "Tempest", all they had to do was to select their own on the J-band radar. The target, and then the four 30mm cannons raised their heads and began to fire violently at the sky!

Although the maximum rate of fire of [-] per minute was not needed, the anti-aircraft gun that emptied a magazine every five seconds instantly laid a dense barrage of bullets in the sky.The roar of the machine gun was deafening, and with every retreat of the gun barrel, the sides of the car body would spit out yellow shell casings "cracking", and the machine gun would stop firing for a while during the "clinking" to replace the ammunition box, and the turret turned to the other side. One goal, then another round.

The self-propelled artillery is advancing, and the predatory beasts in the sky are falling.The warheads of the machine gun are not all hit by themselves, but actively lay down a barrage in the airspace where the predator is advancing, and wait for it to hit itself. The 30mm gun is not that the grenade will not explode at close range, and it has not been specially upgraded to a tungsten-core armor-piercing shell. , but for these streaking alien creatures, just scratching is enough to tear their flesh, this is just a massacre without any suspense.

The brass shell casings pulled a golden path along the ground on the wheels, and the four armored vehicles continued to move forward despite the desperate counterattack of the orcs.The remaining plundering beasts quickly turned around and retreated, but the roar of jet engines came from behind.

PS: 1. After reviewing the information, I confirmed that Sira is seriously short of fusion materials. There is no hope for nuclear bombs. Photon bombs can be snatched from Vianna, but I don’t quite understand the power.

Never mind I'll get the N2 bomb out sooner or later

2. In terms of productivity, I know there will definitely be complaints.I wrote it based on reality plus a certain amount of imagination, rather than copying game data.

To put it simply, I can’t write about a factory spending 5000 yuan to produce a 50-meter-high Redeemer mecha in 30 seconds with its own super laser cannon and brain damage. I have to convert it to reality.

3. Landmine doesn’t have any scenes to write about, just use it as a background board.

Chapter 76 Lord of Saka

Support from the artillery was delayed for a while, and the pressure on the front suddenly increased, but this did not mean that the orcs had a chance to break through the Blackhand's defenses, and this was not the only means of support from the rear.

How many orcs are there?The sensors couldn't scan the number of living things underground, but in the two hours since the battle started, at least two or three thousand orcs had been killed on the front line.These orcs were as crazy as ever. They crawled across the open space with almost no shelter under the fire of machine guns, and used the flesh of hard labor to detonate the trenches full of mines.The Great Shield Hands are currently serving as human tanks to attract the firepower of the Black Hands. In the craters blown by the Brotherhood artillery itself, they put down mortars-one of the few weapons that can pose some threat to the Apostles, and then before being killed. Desperately hit a few rounds.

The gap in which the artillery was deactivated allowed the orcs to immediately gather a large number of troops on the several-kilometer-long front. This time, they chose a few places where the Brotherhood's troops were relatively weak and rushed madly. The shieldmen of the group used their own corpses to spread A bloody path was made, leading the endless sea of ​​beasts to swarm into the black hand's position.

The first thing they did was to expand the scope of their occupation—the roar of the mortars was so dense that the scalp was tingling, and the dense explosions formed a flame storm that burned all living things in the open area.Barricades were shattered and automatic turrets were disabled in the onslaught.After the road was cleared, the orcs began to disperse, occupying every building and every ruin, and fought desperately with the apostles inside.

Against the shooting of the apostles, some big men of the orcs concealed behind the big shielder and set up the support firepower of the orcs-Muqiu machine guns.This revolving machine gun suppressed the apostles who came to support with a dense rain of bullets at a distance of hundreds of meters. Unfortunately, the four-wheel drive was hit by a barrage and turned into a ball of fire. The orcs pressed down on the territory. The apostles who guarded here retreated to the next block to regroup before they were surrounded, or competed with the orcs for control of every house.

The battle has entered the stage of street fighting. Not only here, every line of defense is under attack, and the areas where the line of defense is torn apart and the intact positions form a canine pattern.This kind of situation where you have me is the posture that the orcs are best at. Their purpose has now been half achieved. It is impossible for human artillery to fire at the risk of accidentally injuring friendly troops, unless humans voluntarily give up the line of defense.

Yes, humans have always been like this. They always show a strong will at the beginning of the battle, but they will quickly be defeated when they fall into a stalemate and pay casualties, because their troops are so small that they cannot withstand such a war of attrition, and we orcs But endless.

"Commander, the general ordered us to dig through the blocked tunnels and transport more troops into the city."

The sun was approaching dusk, and it was also dusk. The last time the commander of Wam died in this ruined city, this time another commander stood in the capital of the dead.When the army of orcs swarmed into the line of defense and fought fiercely with the humans inside the city, a tall orc who was fully clothed and didn't want to show his face, accompanied by a large group of Theron guards, hurried through the ruins along the shadow of the street.

Saka, just a homonym, has a special meaning representing nobility in the orc language.The name of each commander comes from their beloved queen, which ensures their unshakable position in the consciousness of the group, making the subordinates always submit.

The current commander is very low-key and cautious, and will not move on to the next location until his deployment is confirmed safe.It seemed to pick a building at random, and its guards told it that it had just been cleared of resistance, and that was exactly what it wanted.

Commander Saka, escorted by a group of Theron Guards (pro-guards), ascended the already-occupied building.The battle marks abound, the bullet holes in the walls are still smoking, and the stairs are stacked with orc corpses everywhere, some killed by quilt bullets, and some completely burned to ashes.His own soldiers rushed to the top of the building regardless of casualties, and fought hand-to-hand with the entrenched enemy several times before completing the occupation. The fighting power of these humans surprised Saka, who already knew how the Wam command failed.

Wam's death was not wronged. Its tribe was a newly established small tribe with a very small army of just over a thousand, and he and others had suffered thousands of casualties in order to enter the city. I have no right to laugh at it.

But the fighters under it don't think so - for powerful tribes like themselves, it takes only a few months to raise a warrior, and the continuous resources obtained from the surface make the tribe stronger than before, not only suppressing the fluorescent tribe In Digu, more adults can be dispatched to participate in this attack.It was good that the warriors were fighting high despite the heavy losses in the siege, but Sakar always felt very uneasy.

"Is there any news about the team to remove the green crystals that are blocked in the sewer?" said the gloomy orc. Think of it and ask casually.

Commander Saka stepped up the stairs step by step and reached the final battlefield on the top floor.There were so many corpses that there was nowhere to lay them down, and the small apartment was full of the remains of his own fighters.One room was on fire, and the scorching heat prevented them from moving forward.

The blue-white flame shone on its ferocious metal visor, and Commander Saka let out an intermittent low growl from his throat, which made his guards feel nervous—there were no captives, and his expectation of checking the corpses of human soldiers fell through again. .For this battle, it urgently needs information. It is not a commander who is afraid of loss, but the small breakthrough that cost a lot of warriors' lives makes Saka extremely annoyed.

The Theron guards were hesitating and didn't know how to answer. All the soldiers who touched the crystals were either killed or injured. The method of using explosives caused the crystals to explode and caused more deaths and injuries. device of.

"Forget it, then bypass these crystals and go deeper into the crypt." Saka suddenly skipped the topic, pointing to the room engulfed in flames and asked: "How many humans died there?"

"About...ten." The guard said after a moment of hesitation.

"And what about our soldiers, how many did we die trying to break into this house?"

"More than 70..." Seemingly unwilling to offend his commander, the captain of the guard hurriedly explained, "These humans will never retreat, their flames are very powerful, and they take the initiative to fight us when they have no ammunition. Brothers use grenades to kill us." Get rid of them."

"Too many." Saka shook his head, very dissatisfied with this number. As a highly intelligent individual, it instinctively felt that it should use a more intelligent method. Only a few times the casualties were resolved, which became the worst exchange ratio since the invasion war.

It hopes that General Sikou can have a better way to avoid the disadvantages of weapons, instead of confronting humans head-on, so that even if he wins, his own tribe will be greatly damaged.

The only way is to break through the human line of defense before night, when the time comes to summon nocturnal bats to wipe out human beings in one fell swoop!

Unlike his irascible kin, Sarkar is an orc of great age, gifted with cruelty, and age taught him cunning.When Wam's message last reached the Queen, those eerie descriptions were quite uncharacteristic.

Mechanical soldiers, human beings who are not afraid of bullets, irresistible poisonous gas... It doesn't want its own tribe to get involved in this war, but General Sikou has taken a fancy to its experience, or in other words, General Sikou guessed it plan.The three tribes launched an attack on this unknown human army at the same time, and he was responsible for the frontal attack.

"After tearing apart the human line of defense, don't go head-to-head again, go straight to their rear, and surround the human position!" Commander Saka lowered his voice, "Wait until night, or, wait until Ulenka's tribe launches a side attack on us Let's go to meet it again, no matter what, we can't be the only ones bleeding for the queen!"

Chapter 77 Worst Considerations

"It's fighting..."

Even tens of kilometers away, the camp outside the Amber River can still hear the rumbling guns from a distance, and everyone's hearts are suspended in the air and it is difficult to let go.Wu Wei ordered everyone to get ready to fight, and weapons have already started to be distributed to all adult males.

The passage was closed, and it was strictly forbidden to go out, and the dusk was gradually passing, and the shantytowns were also under blackout.The guards of the camp were concentrated on the city wall and received Wu Wei's unified dispatch.

Li De was surrounded by a group of guards and civilians at this time. These specially selected personnel were holding an individual missile in their hands. Li De was tirelessly explaining to them how to use the "FGM-90" missile.This weapon, derived from its progenitor, the Javelin, was used with several modifications by GDI until the mid-21st century, and it performed very reliably.The two methods of direct aiming and self-locking can effectively deal with low-altitude and ground vehicles. Li De gathered these people to deal with possible orc threats. Things that can beat tanks will definitely not be able to deal with predatory beasts and burrowing beasts. question.

"Aim the sight in the general direction, wait for the cross to turn from red to green, and then pull the trigger when it shows that the lock is successful...Press the blue button to aim directly at you..."

Some people comprehend quickly and some comprehend slowly. There is no way that many people here are actually illiterate, and he can't explain everything with exhausted words.So Li De selected a few people to test and teach, and then asked them to teach others.The base didn't bring too many weapons. There were more than ten rocket launchers plus four rounds for each. Li De divided them into two groups, the smarter ones were the attackers, and the rest were responsible for carrying the ammunition.After working for a while, Wu Wei came over and waved to him.

"Hello, General." Li De shook the dust off his coat, and saluted Wu Wei jokingly.After learning about Wu Wei's past, he was actually the commander of the United Nations Army. He imitated Wu Wei's personal guards to call it that, and the other party was not embarrassed, but just waved his hand—

"I have no organization for a long time, I automatically retired, and now I am just an ordinary person."

Then Wu Wei pointed in a direction and greeted Li De: "Come over for a chat?"

Night is coming, this is Li De's fourth day in Silla, chasing the shadow of the sun fading, the two traversers walk side by side, each of them is full of thoughts, but tacitly.Wu Wei asked some things about the battle that happened not far from them. Although Li De didn't want to describe too much about this battle, he still explained the general situation of the battle to Wu Wei.The opponent is also a seasoned soldier, and he disagrees with the Brotherhood's tactics.

"The biggest difficulty in fighting the orcs is that they don't distinguish between the front and the rear. They use the ground to move, so they can't build their own positions. You can't catch them when attacking, and they ignore the fortifications when defending. The Austrian you mentioned Livia is still fighting with human thinking."

Wu Wei criticized that he had a very clear analysis of the tactics of the orcs, which Li De heard very interesting.

"These enemies rushing out of the ground are very good at destroying fortifications. Just like I used to deal with aliens, it is most effective to rely on armored forces to control the area of ​​​​the mobile fortress in a grid pattern. Since you are fighting in the city, it is probably close It's very troublesome to exchange fire at a distance, what the orcs are best at is close-range high-volume attacks..."

"So, what if a barrier is made to artificially cut off the orc's attack route?" Li De mentioned, Wu Wei was puzzled, he didn't know the existence of the Tiberium isolation zone, and Li De didn't explain it at this time , he expressed his gratitude to Wu Wei and advised him:

"This camp alone won't last long, my friend. The orcs will come after you. They are far stronger than you. The river's barrier will be crossed, and you will end up fleeing, or worse."

Li De said, and made a suggestion: "Take your people, come to our Brotherhood, we have the ability to protect them and end this war."

"Hehe..." Wu Wei laughed twice, not mocking, but because he had other considerations, he didn't answer Li De immediately, but took Li De into the living area of ​​the camp.

Although he didn't understand Wu Wei's intentions, Li De also took a good look at the camp by the way—many traces of engineering transformation are still there. Under Wu Wei's planning, they used simply collected materials to build an orderly shanty. Although the combination of stone and wood is simple, it is at least a shelter from wind and rain.Under his protection, people have a relatively stable home. The evidence is that Li De only saw the child here.

This is very important. In the real apocalypse, it is difficult for children to survive, which proves the success of this camp.And he also saw a simple school, no matter whether it is a child or an adult, they are learning literacy and all useful things.

Civilization is a light in the dark, a collection of all humanity and wisdom.This simple school may be the place that touched Li De the most he saw, and they also stopped in this building.

Li De didn't know why Wu Wei called him here, until Wu Wei opened the door and saw a group of women and children inside.

The older one is only in his early twenties, and the younger one is still in his mother's swaddling baby.In an instant, dozens of pairs of eyes looked at Li De together, curious, nervous, apprehensive, all kinds of eyes, some children still don't understand why they are here, and some women's eyes are red, they seem to have just cried .

Li De understood instantly, and Wu Wei patted him on the shoulder and said, "That's why I called you here."

"Send them away?"
