Wasteland Commander-Chapter 419 - 110: The Dawn Army Launches a Counterattack!
In the distant riverfront, Chang Liu watched the operation that was close to success, suddenly fail. A large flock of mutated birds was instantly cleared out, unable to suppress his angry curses.
"What kind of monsters are around Ye Fan? Even in this situation, he can still escape!"
"Keep pushing forward; we absolutely cannot let him close off this metal wall!"
Chang Liu commanded the Corpse King, who, in turn, directed the armed zombies, continuously pressuring the Dawn Army.
Likewise, he also commanded the mutated birds to keep chasing Ye Fan.
Chang Liu knew this was absolutely a critical moment in the battle.
The best outcome would be to directly eliminate Ye Fan, to kill him on the wall; he believed that if such magical occurrences like walls appearing out of nowhere would no longer happen.
Without the cover of these walls, Dawn Island would definitely be bombed into ruins by his horde; Liu Chang never doubted this.
The battle fire on the walls was still ongoing, but now the situation with the Dawn Army had slightly improved.
Because the staff department came up with a solution.
Add a protective cover to the walls!
Not to cover all the walls, but to use some iron plates to form a protection for parts of the walls.
The entire engineer corps took action, directly taking out iron plates from the supply warehouse and placing them on the parapet of the walls.
This doesn’t affect shooting and can effectively block bombs and acid falling from the sky.
It’s a vast project, but thanks to the abundant strategic reserves of the Dawn Army and the large engineer corps, the covering operation proceeded smoothly.
The Dawn Army warriors don’t need to guard every inch of the wall because ground zombies and mutant rats cannot quickly climb the walls; they only need to dodge during combat.
It is a clumsy but effective strategy that can greatly reduce casualties.
And all the Dawn Army system buildings can be quickly repaired by engineers.
Engineers enter the watchtower and directly use resources to quickly fix damaged bulletproof glass and firearms.
And in the sky, the Dawn Army’s warplanes also launched.
These fifth-generation and fourth-generation planes, at a height unreachable by mutant birds, began attacks on the ground, providing support to the walls.
Especially those bombers started dropping strings of aerial bombs down; although some were intercepted by ground zombies, quite a few bombs still dropped down.
Once bombs fall, they bring a huge blow to the corpse group.
On the ground, new soldiers produced by Ye Fan were also quickly climbing the wall, replacing injured veterans.
As long as the injured veterans can still move, they will leave the wall themselves to receive medical assistance below.
If they can’t move, they won’t go for treatment; instead, they choose to continue standing guard on the wall, preferring to die in battle rather than retreat.
Although the situation is still less than optimistic, the walls have temporarily stabilized.
And Ye Fan is still facing danger on his side.
A part of the Dawn Army’s second combat brigade also began climbing the wall, and the third battalion of the Guard Corps moved from the parliament building over to cover for the heavily damaged first three guard battalions, continuing to shield the Commander-in-Chief’s operations.
Ye Fan’s wall is already extended to 9500 meters; just 500 meters more, and it can push into the Great River.
Now, the ground relies entirely on the Apocalypse Tank battle group for defense, but Apocalypse could no longer push the battleline to the mutant rats’ side; they can only try to hold on.
As the mutated birds flew in again, the War Eagle team was also deployed.
Now on Dawn Island, there are twenty thousand War Eagles, supplemented from the gold vault raid in Nantong some time ago.
Ye Fan knows these War Eagles are not enough to block hundreds of thousands of mutated birds, so the steel must be used wisely.
Apparently, he’s being targeted by the opponent’s Corpse King; these last hundreds of meters are when the opponent’s mutated birds attack most fiercely.
At this moment, he must not hold back; he has to deploy the War Eagles.
The reason mutated birds have become so terrifying now is mainly because they’re equipped with acid and bombs.
But these things are air-to-ground; they don’t have an advantage against the War Eagles flying in the air.
Twenty thousand War Eagles surged forward, clashing with the mutated birds in the sky.
To resist the War Eagles, mutated birds even had to drop the bombs in their grip, significantly reducing the threat to the walls.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Fan continued to push forward rapidly.
Temporary suspension of watchtower and Light Prism Tower set up; enclosing the walls comes first.
meters!
meters!
meters!
Watching Ye Fan’s ever-increasing speed, Chang Liu grew anxious under the walls.
He even stopped letting the mutated birds mainly attack the frontal walls, instead concentrating power to pursue Ye Fan.
In the sky, it’s entirely covered by the mutated birds.
It’s like a mass of dark clouds, overwhelming, seemingly ready to crush the walls at any moment.
The War Eagle team was surrounded, forming a large bird flock in the sky, fiercely battling, with scattered feathers falling.
And many mutated birds broke through the blockade of War Eagles, continuing to rush forward.
Seeing this situation, Ye Fan decisively issued an order.
"All of you, retreat quickly!"
He gave the order, and the large group of troops following him immediately left Ye Fan and retreated backward.
And Ye Fan, at this moment, directly entered the commander’s backpack.
In an instant, there was no one left in his area.
The mutated birds in the sky lost their target, thinking Ye Fan was among the retreating crowd, they screeched and lunged towards the retreating people.
At this moment, Ye Fan suddenly reappeared.
Seeing the mutated birds moving away, with no one noticing him, Ye Fan continued to advance.
Nine thousand nine hundred meters!
Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety meters!
Ahead was the Great River, the mutated birds from behind pursued again, and Ye Fan thunderously placed the last ten meters of the wall down.
A flash of his body, once again entered the commander’s backpack.
The mutated birds dashed empty again, the wall was already completed and closed.
The mutated birds were not smart enough to wait in place for Ye Fan, they went off to hunt others.
Ye Fan reappeared, throwing a large number of water mines into this patch of river water.
"Phew!"
Ye Fan let out a long breath.
Finally done!
The construction of the ten-kilometer alloy wall was finally complete, this area was just a bay terrain, perfect for a battleground.
Now, whether it’s zombies or mutant rats, they’ve all landed, turning back to the river waters is not easy.
This area must be the burial ground for this armed zombie horde!
Ye Fan glanced at his financial status, previously 150 million, now it had consumed over 24 million.
This is still without the construction of watch towers and Light Prism Towers on some walls, according to previous density placement, it would consume nearly five million more.
Fortunately, the rate of spending has slowed down, with the engineer units consistently supplying iron plates, the rate of warrior deaths is decreasing.
Ye Fan took a deep breath, at this point, he must organize a counterattack.
The number of zombie hordes is too large, this time the total amount of zombies landing is roughly around 1.5 million.
Though the Dawn Army has suffered great losses, the zombie horde has also consumed greatly.
After all, the Dawn Army’s aircraft cannons are not to be trifled with, under the circumstance where alloy walls are hard to break, they also inflicted great losses on the zombie horde.
In this short hour-long battle, the zombie horde’s numbers have already dropped to around one million.
This is not his wild guess, but an estimate calculated by soldiers at the radar station.
But this is still not enough, he must conduct a counterattack.
The zombie horde’s air defense is still very strong, this is also the biggest trouble for Ye Fan, missiles and bombing did not achieve the expected effects.
Under these circumstances, the best method is to let the explosive vehicles take the stage.
But the Corpse King also realized this, letting the anti-air zombies block the sky and mutant rats scurry along the walls.
Once explosive vehicles are thrown from the sky, anti-air zombies will immediately destroy them.
Once the gate opens in the wall, mutant rats will swarm in, preventing Ye Fan from releasing mushroom bombs and destroying them.
Ye Fan even suspects, the Corpse King commanding this zombie horde, might have already gained the intelligence of normal humans.
Even though the situation is difficult, Ye Fan still has ways, war is also a test of wisdom, there are differences in people’s intelligence too.
Right now, looking at the riverfront over there, Ye Fan is thinking, the time should be about right.
.......
In the river water, a vehicle floated on the surface, looking like it was driving on water.
But if you look from below water, you’d find underneath this vehicle, there was a colossal octopus holding it.
Xiaoba carried the explosive vehicle, advancing underwater.
It has been lurking around here for a long time, when the zombies were landing earlier, Xiaoba wanted to go out and devour these zombies, but the owner didn’t allow it.
At that time, there were too many zombies and mutated birds and beasts, even though it was a hero-level octopus, it was not safe.
But now it’s different, zombies have all landed, they’re fighting within a few kilometers’ range, Xiaoba can act now.
According to the information provided by the owner, Xiaoba easily avoided those areas where water mines were placed, getting close to the riverfront nearby.
There were no more zombies here, all zombies have moved forward.
Xiaoba quietly came ashore, and its massive body wasn’t noticed.
It placed the explosive vehicle on the shore and quietly returned to the water, sending a signal to the owner.
Ye Fan held up a telescope, an infrared telescope, observing the situation at the riverfront.
After all, Xiaoba, a hundred meters giant, it’s quite hard not to see it.
With the information received, Ye Fan felt much more composed.
Come on, let these crazed armed zombies taste the power of technology.
The explosive vehicle, also a Red Alert Unit, immediately accelerated wildly upon reaching the shore, heading directly towards the densest direction of the zombie horde!
That direction is where the most anti-air zombies are concentrated!
