Chapter 912 The last straw
"Attack! Attack! Consume the energy of the energy shield! They won't last long!"
"Concentrate your firepower! Concentrate your firepower!"
"Don't back up! Get on top of me! The power armor troops are opening the way!"
……
Gelian launched wave after wave of fierce offensives against Jiange Fortress. Although the fortress seemed to be in danger every time, every time it was just a little bit away from conquering it, Gelian's side However, there will suddenly be a situation of powerlessness... This is the real world, not an RTS game where you can dispatch troops and generals with a click of a mouse. The replenishment of troops is far from as simple as those who have never experienced war imagined. Jiange Fortress is like Like a giant meat grinder, it kept crushing the Revolutionary Union troops one after another under the city wall.
Seeing the stalemate in the battle, the commander of the Revolutionary Union couldn't help but frown tightly, and gave the order to retreat after repeated hesitation - in the eyes of the rookie, it seemed that every round of attack was only a little bit short That's all, but no matter what, that point is impossible to break through...
This is not a coincidence, but a trap set by the opponent. In fact, the defenders of the Jiange Fortress still have enough strength to face the offensive of the Revolutionary League, but it was only under the deliberate arrangement of the opponent's commander that they created To give up the illusion that the fortress can be taken down at any time, the purpose is to attract the troops of the Revolutionary Union to attack as much as possible, and to kill the vitality of the Revolutionary Union army to the greatest extent.
The energy consumed by the giant energy shield that can cover the entire fortress is absolutely a terrifying astronomical figure. Under such circumstances, the shorter the fighting time, the more beneficial it is to the organization of the defender.
Under the cover of power armor and heavy firepower, the Revolutionary Union's army retreated in an orderly manner beyond the range of the organized army, and began to regroup. The organization also turned off the energy protection of the fortress the moment the firefight stopped. At the same time, a large number of engineers were sent to the city wall and began to repair the fortifications damaged in the previous battle.
The energy shield used by Jiange Fortress is different from the individual energy shield equipped on Thor's Hammer. Due to the special energy conduction sequence, this fortress-style energy shield has "unidirectionality", that is to say After facing external attacks on the fortress, the defensive characteristics of the energy shield will be activated to the greatest extent, blocking or weakening the attacks from the outside world as much as possible, while the bullets fired from the fortress are It can easily penetrate the shield. Although the power of the bullet will be somewhat weakened, compared with the weakening suffered by the attacker, it is not of the same order of magnitude at all.
The reason why Jiange Fortress was able to withstand so many rounds of onslaught by Gelian was due to the large energy shield that had just been assembled not long ago...Of course, Qi Lin also played a key role in it.
The news that the organization will install fortress-level energy shields in the Jiange Fortress is naturally not concealed from the eyes and ears of the Gelian. For this reason, the Gelian directly said that the eight doors have just been assembled on the production line and have not even been tested. The annihilation cannon was sent to the front line. This was originally a key killer move against the energy shield of the Jiange Fortress, but Qi Lin caught up with it first, although Qi Lin almost fell here when he attacked the logistics unit of the Revolutionary Union that day. In the hands of eight annihilation cannons, but when he broke out of the encirclement, he also destroyed four of them.
All of a sudden, the firepower was reduced by half, and it became very difficult to defeat the fortress-level energy shield in one fell swoop with four annihilation cannons. They can manually increase or decrease the local output flow of the energy shield, so as to strengthen certain parts of the energy shield or directly open a fire window, so that their own shells can fall to the Gelian position without attenuation. above.Likewise, upon detecting a shot from the Annihilation Cannon, they can actively create a gap through which the Annihilation Beam passes directly.
The annihilation beam cannot touch the energy shield, so naturally there is no way to consume the energy of the shield through ablation.
Originally, eight annihilation cannons might still make the control team of the energy shield scrambled and difficult to look around, but now that this number is reduced to four, it will be much easier to correspond.
These four annihilation cannons basically failed to play a big role in the fortress battle. Instead, the defenders of the fortress used a magnetic railgun to destroy another one after positioning.
……
"These grandchildren... are finally discouraged..." Seeing that the Revolutionary Union finally couldn't withstand the pressure and temporarily withdrew from the battlefield, the senior colonel who had been directing the battle at the frontline command post couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, reached out and wiped his face beads of sweat.
Just as the commander of the Revolutionary League thought, the colonel is indeed luring the Revolutionary League to continue to launch strong attacks, and to use the power of the fortress to destroy as much as possible the vitality of the Revolutionary League army... This trap is very effective , but it is also very dangerous, just like dancing on the tip of a knife, if you are not careful, you will fall into a place of eternal doom...
Fortunately, that kind of situation did not happen... In the past four hours, Jiange Fortress forcibly withstood the six waves of the Revolutionary Union's offensive, destroyed more than [-] power armors, and killed [-] people The above Revolutionary Union soldiers, and the organization's losses are not even one-fifth of the opponent's.
This kind of battle loss ratio has already made the colonel very satisfied. Although the organization once fell into a disadvantage after losing the evolutionary troops, it still temporarily regained the city by relying on the strong defense system of the Jiange Fortress.
"Count the casualties, rescue the wounded, notify the people below, and send two sets of reactor components up. Also, we still need five hundred... no, one thousand boxes of 'Radiation Resistant', let them do it immediately!" Finished speaking , The colonel wiped away a trace of blood slowly overflowing from his nostrils with his thumb, took out a small bottle from his pocket, poured out two small pills from it, threw it into his mouth and swallowed it.
The amount of energy required by a fortress-level energy shield is no exaggeration, even if it is massive. With the current level of human technology, the only thing that can provide this level of energy... is a large nuclear reactor.
In the entire Jiange Fortress, the most heavily guarded is neither the Colonel's headquarters, nor the arsenal for storing ammunition, nor the passages connected to the ground, but the three nuclear reactors located in the core area of the fortress.
Since the reactors were assembled hastily, the only means of isolation is a thin graphite shell with a metal mesh. With the progress of the fission reaction, radiation is constantly escaping into the fortress... If now If anyone had a Geiger counter, the sirens would have been going off by now.
It is no exaggeration to say that the entire Jiange Fortress has become a light radiation area, and the radiation dose is still rising slowly and steadily... Everyone knows that if you continue to fight in the fortress, This is no different from slow suicide.
"Sir... why don't you go to the isolation area to rest first? Your body..." The sharp-eyed adjutant saw the colonel wiping his nosebleeds, and Dang even said the proposal worriedly.
The isolation area is the only place in the entire fortress that has complete radiation protection measures, but it is already crowded with countless wounded people, and stretchers are constantly being carried in from the outside.
The senior colonel is not young anymore, his temples have been stained with white frost, even if he is an evolutionary, his body is definitely not as tough as a young man, and the signs of side effects caused by radiation pollution are on his body Extraordinarily obvious.
"There's no need for that. I'll just take two more pills." The colonel waved his hands disapprovingly, supporting the edge of the table with both hands, his eagle-like eyes constantly patrolling the holographic map.
"Sir...the radiation concentration is already very high. If you fall down, no one in the fortress can command the overall situation!" The adjutant continued to persuade.
He is much younger than the colonel, and his evolution level is one level higher than the colonel. Even he feels very uncomfortable in this environment, and the unspeakable pain tortures him every moment. Not to mention a colonel who is not as good as an adjutant in terms of body and rank.
"If I fall down, you will take over my shift." The colonel stared fixedly into the adjutant's eyes, and after a few seconds, he turned his head back again.
The adjutant stopped talking, but clenched his fists tightly.
Everyone is under tremendous pressure, everyone is on the verge of collapse, and everyone is struggling to support... This is war, even if it is a veteran who has experienced many battles, or a thousand bones under his feet No matter who the general is, he will not like this feeling. No one has ever enjoyed war...except for a lunatic who has taken too many drugs.
"Report sir, the Revolutionary Alliance troops retreated to the valley four kilometers away from the fortress, and began to camp on the spot." A soldier controlling the unmanned reconnaissance drone shouted.
"Understood, keep staring at them."
Due to the existence of the electromagnetic interference field, the drone cannot fly very far away from the fortress, four kilometers, which is almost the limit distance that the drone can barely observe, and, at such a distance, many details cannot be captured Obviously, the opposing commander had already taken this into consideration when choosing the retreat distance.
"It's a serious opponent..." the colonel sighed silently in his heart. In the old days, he had commanded dozens of battles, including battles of this scale, but he was able to push him to this level The opponent in the situation is really the first time I have encountered it.
"How's the situation over there at Jianmen Guanguanlou? Can you get in touch?" the colonel turned to another correspondent and asked.
"We can get in touch. They are still insisting. The Revolutionary Union has not given up on the attack on Guanlou... The defenders of Guanlou are asking for support. They need a lot of ammunition, medicine and soldiers."
"Support..." The colonel gritted his teeth, but he still didn't give an order for support.
Now the passage between Jiange Fortress and Jianmen Pass has been completely cut off by Gelian. If you want to reinforce Jianmen Pass, you must re-open the passage between the fortress and Guanlou, and voluntarily give up the advantage of the fortress, and Gelian in the wild It is undoubtedly a very stupid move to conduct an encounter.
Even... After losing the protection of the fortress, the Revolutionary Union didn't need to send troops to intercept the reinforcements. It only needed one shelling to reduce the reinforcements and the materials they carried to ashes.
"Tell them... let them hold on for a while, we... can't give them support for the time being." The colonel said with a sigh.
"Yes."
The correspondent nodded, and repeated the colonel's words to the guards in Jianmen Guanguanlou, but after a few seconds, he stood up from his seat, took off his military cap, turned and said to the colonel, "Sir ...the first floor of the Guanlou has been lost, and our army has started an indoor battle with the enemy... The defenders of the Guanlou said...they will live and die with the Guanlou..."
The colonel's mouth moved slightly, but he still didn't say anything.
At this point in the battle, the importance of Jianmen Guanlou is not as high as before. The energy shield of the fortress has been completed and put into use. In other words... the defenders of Guanlou have completed their mission. The task is just that they... I am afraid they will never come back.
"Sir! I have another solution!" The adjutant said suddenly.
"What way?" The colonel asked immediately with a slight twitch in the corner of his eyes.
"That Qi Lin! That Qi Lin who attacked the artillery positions and logistics troops of the Revolutionary League before! Didn't the above say that an agreement has been reached with him? Let him help Jianmenguan! With his ability... maybe he can do it Here!" The adjutant said quickly.
"He...you may not know what kind of agreement the higher authorities have reached with him. We don't have the power to direct him, and we don't even have a way to contact him. Depending on his own will, we cannot..."
"At least you can give it a try. The people above may have a way to contact Qi Lin! Sir! There are hundreds of brothers at Jianmen Guanguanlou! They are all elites. If we can let Qi Lin If they come back alive, they will definitely be a force that cannot be ignored!"
The adjutant was right, the defenders at Jianmen Pass were indeed the elite of the colonel's elite, including the colonel's own guards... If it wasn't for the elite, they wouldn't have been able to support them at this time.
"Okay, I'll go get in touch with the higher-ups, I hope I can..." The colonel didn't continue, but went to a separate compartment in the innermost part of the headquarters, where there was a special telephone line, which could directly communicate with the chairman of the parliament. Call, through the chairman of the parliament, the message can be transmitted to the "adult" who has just awakened.
Although it sounds absurd, that Qi Lin, whose name is still on the arrest warrant of the organization and consortium alliance, may really be the last straw for the Jianmen Gate defenders...
