Chapter 917 - Turning Tides (2/2)
Directly behind the turret of the Wanderer tank, a peculiar-looking tank with a turret crashed through the wall and the daunting barrel was already pointed to his direction.
[A tank? How can there be a tank?!]
NAC destroyed all bridges in the city. No armored units could pass through the ice. Neither the Northern Alliance Area nor the defending NAC…
Theoretically, that was the case, but he obviously did not consider NAC’s airship.
“Hide!”
Shi Wenqiang pounced behind cover and roared at his comrades who leaned against the tank.
He did not think that the tank without a turret could pose a threat to the Wanderer, but for the infantry, any armored units that steered were deadly threats.
However, his blind confidence toward the Wanderer also did not last long.
Blinding white light flashed, a ball-shaped lightning shell instantly printed itself onto the body of the Wanderer tank. Heavy armor played no effect at all. The over ten thousands degrees of high-temperature plasma melted through the armored shell instantly.
The word fear was so deeply etched on his face that he forgot the sting in his eyes. Drones attached with muzzle rushed across the street like a tide, and the NAC soldiers hiding behind cover began to charge.
Long Bowman I’s coaxial machine guns suppressed them behind the bunker, and they couldn’t even look up. Not to mention return fire at the attacking NAC.
Shi Wenqiang never felt so much despair.
“Captain, what are we going to do!” said a young man who was lying behind a concrete bunker and looked at him in horror.
He took out the EMP grenade, but hesitated for a moment. Shi Wenqiang eventually put the EMP grenade back.
Even the Type-52 particle cannon couldn’t penetrate the armor of the Wanderer with only one strike.
It was clear that NAC already mastered a directed energy weapon superior to the prewar technology.
When the Wanderer’s armor was smashed through like paper, his desire to fight was lost. If they lost the armored advantage, with the supply disadvantage of the First Legion, there was no chance of winning.
“Surrender… throw the rifle out of the bunker, and the pistol too.”
After saying the word out in humiliation, he threw away his dignity and tossed out his rifle. From the polar camouflage sleeves, he cut a white strip with his dagger and attached it on the rifle.
After their leader surrendered, the soldiers behind the bunker did not have a look of despise at all. Instead, they were all relieved.
They were not PAC officers. They were not interested in the so-called orthodoxy. They followed the Northern Alliance Area just to survive on the cruel wasteland.
After the white flag was raised, the machine guns stopped shooting.
NAC’s soldiers did not give them trouble. They skillfully handcuffed them and handed them to mercenaries outside the war zone. The drone formation went into the building next to the street, and Longbow I returned to battle and continued to advance toward the hinterland of the occupied area with the infantry.
Since they entered Wu City, they already destroyed four Wanderers. Counting the one that was blown up, only eight Wanderers remained.
And on the NAC side, thirty Longbow I were still unscathed!
Although they didn’t know how long the strategy of “Infantry attracts firepower, tank fire from the back” would last, they were certain about one thing.
The offensive and defensive stance of both sides just suddenly reversed!
