Wasteland Commander

Chapter 27: Clash of Steel Armadas


Receiving Ye Fan's order, the Shenlong Ship immediately withdrew from the battlefield.

This battleship had not been upgraded to Two-Star. Apart from the Yamato, the other ships in the enemy fleet were not very valuable.

Now there were only a few warships left on the battlefield, scattered here and there, all far away from the Shenlong Ship.

The Shenlong Ship did not pursue them, and it immediately returned.

As it passed by the Riverfront, it happened to see a multinational force unit, setting up defenses on the side of the villa area along the river highway.

The Dawn Army's First Field Corps was attacking this position at the time.

The villa area where Ye Fan was located was not small. The main battlefield was at the main entrance, and James' order was to trap Ye Fan's people inside the villa area.

This unit was an elite from the multinational forces, with the main force coming from the Rakshasa Country.

The Rakshasa was very enthusiastic about attacking the Dawn Army, as they had already heard about the destruction of the Hai Shan Wei by the Dawn Army.

Therefore, the Rakshasa was well-prepared this time. When the battle began, they quickly advanced along the river highway to within about three hundred meters of the villa area and set up defensive positions.

They piled many vehicles here to form a natural barrier, even carrying sandbags to set up roadblocks.

The Rakshasa Team of three thousand, along with two thousand soldiers from other countries, set up a position with several hundred meters of depth here.

Their task was to block this passage and trap the Dawn Army in the villa area.

Jiang Xin stood on the warship's deck, looking through binoculars in this direction, and saw that many heavy machine guns were deployed here, even with anti-tank firepower.

The Dawn Army's First Field Corps was already in combat with the Rakshasa there.

The Rakshasa machine guns roared, and in the streets, sidewalks, and green belts, they formed intersecting fire that prevented the First Field Corps from advancing.

"It's those Rakshasa again, this country is really annoying; they must be completely crippled!"

"Don't spare any shells, give them all to me. Even if we don't support the Qinglong Ship today, we must eliminate the Rakshasa!"

Rumble Rumble~~~!

The giant ship cannon adjusted its direction, and the dark muzzle was aimed at the shore.

As the command to open fire was given, the ship's cannons began bombarding the shore heavily.

The ship's cannon was indeed the Giant Cannon of Dawn City, with long range and great power.

The Rakshasa Team at the frontline positions bore the brunt of the heavy blow.

Boom~~~~!

A shell fell, covering a radius of two hundred meters within the blast radius!

A small mushroom cloud rose, and the flames shot up to the sky.

The Rakshasa Soldiers at the core made no sound, their souls directly returning to the underworld.

Those in the middle were engulfed in flames, screaming while running, or like Crawlers screaming, unable to move after only a short distance.

The ones on the outskirts fared no better, hit by shrapnel, and were bleeding profusely, rolling around in pain.

And this situation did not occur in just one place; the several hundred meters long position was all within the cannon's range.

The entire Rakshasa Team's position looked like a giant firework, spewing huge flames outward.

The seemingly impregnable position was shattered to pieces by a round of cannon fire.

"Adjust the angle, second round, fire!"

With a command from Jiang Xin, the second round of cannon fire was launched.

Where the shells passed, large craters appeared, and those who survived the first round met the reaper again.

Amidst the flames, vehicles exploded, causing a second wave of damage.

With two rounds of simultaneous fire from six ship cannons, more than half of the five-thousand-strong unit was lost, and the position was almost leveled!

And the Shenlong Ship, which had been slow to upgrade to the Two-Star battleship, finally achieved Star Promotion after this round of firing!

The damage from the fleet battle was completely eliminated, and the ammunition was replenished!

Through binoculars, Jiang Xin saw comrades from the First Field Corps charging forward, during which many made a distant V-sign gesture towards him.

This was the comrades' gratitude for the naval fire support from the river.

Jiang Xin grinned; this kind of gratitude was wonderful.

At this time, the crossing troops on the northern shore had all crossed the river, and the pontoon unit on the river had dismantled the floating bridge.

The Shenlong Ship passed smoothly, quickly crossing Jiangkou and reaching the sea surface.

At that time, another battleship appeared ahead; it was the newly enlisted Qinglong Ship.

The two battleships joined forces and sailed south along the coast, soon to encounter the enemy's second fleet.

This delayed fleet would never have expected to encounter two battleships here simultaneously.

Soon, a naval battle broke out at the seaside.

.......

On the street in front of the main entrance of the villa area.

The armored soldiers of the multinational forces collided head-on with the armored units of the Dawn Army.

The front gate of the villa district had already been flattened, and a large number of Dawn Army tanks rushed out from there. They didn't get far before they saw tanks from a multinational force advancing on the street ahead.

This street was part of the riverside highway, with a twelve-lane dual carriageway. Including the sidewalks and greenbelts, it was over 120 meters wide.

If you include the area in front of the Curry Country neighborhood to the west, the width was about 150 meters.

On such a broad avenue, an unprecedented major battle erupted.

Many tanks couldn't find positions on the street and had to enter the Curry Country neighborhood, trying to bypass the obstacle.

Both sides unintentionally performed this maneuver, causing the battlefield to suddenly spread from the street into the residential area.

By this time, shooting accuracy didn't matter much; it was all about aggressive bombardment.

The technical and equipment advantages of the Dawn Army stood out at this moment.

A few tanks in the front row were the first to fire their cannons.

BOOM BOOM BOOM~~~!

A round of shelling overturned many of the multinational force's tanks, blowing off their turrets and causing them to be crippled on the spot.

The multinational force also launched a counterattack, but something unexpected happened.

Several Dawn Army tanks were hit, emitting smoke and flames, but they still rushed forward like the wind and were able to return fire.

"Report! Report! The Dawn Army tanks are main battle tanks; their armor clearly surpasses ours!"

"Don't worry about it; just keep firing. With this point-blank confrontation, their defenses may withstand a few more hits!"

The multinational force tanks in the rear continued firing, and after paying a considerable price, a Dawn Army tank finally stopped moving.

So they adjusted their turrets to attack other tanks.

No one noticed that small infantry vehicles quietly approached the disabled tanks and began quick repairs.

Amid flashes of unseen white light, the Dawn Army tanks swiftly recovered.

These unexpectedly battle-ready tanks caught the multinational tanks completely off guard.

Originally inferior in every respect, they were shocked to see that the knocked-down tanks could still fight.

Many tanks charging at the front were destroyed under this peculiar assault.

In less than ten minutes, the street was piled high with destroyed tanks.

This was the case even on the sidewalks and greenbelt, with steel war machines belching black smoke everywhere, making it impossible for the tanks behind to advance.

As a result, the main battle shifted from the street into the residential district.

The Dawn Army tanks entered the residential area and began rampaging through.

Streams of fire shot back and forth within the neighborhood, sometimes hitting enemies, other times slamming directly into buildings.

The people of Curry Country, who were initially watching the spectacle, fell into bad luck. When a shell hit, it would explode inside the buildings.

Broken glass, bricks, and unknown debris flew everywhere.

The buildings blackened by smoke, many residents were tragically killed in the crossfire of the war.

However, the engaged parties couldn't afford to care about any of this; this armored duel would largely determine the outcome of the battle.

Sometimes, when both sides could not hit each other across a flowerbed, they would charge through the flowerbed and collide directly.

Each time this happened, the one suffering losses was mostly the multinational force's tanks.

Tanks are not all the same. The multinational force's tanks were mostly light ones, generally weighing between 15 to 20 tons.

After all, with so many countries involved, the weapons developed were of varying quality.

Meanwhile, the Dawn Army's armor corps consisted entirely of Type 99 main battle tanks, weighing between 51 and 55 tons.

Remember, that's in their no-star state.

Once upgraded to Three-Star, the tanks' armor and firepower would be comprehensively enhanced, with weights exceeding 62 tons.

When the two sides collided, it was like a professional wrestler hitting a little girl, a collision that was simply soul-stirring.

If the multinational force's light tanks weren't well-positioned, they were directly flipped upside down.

Even if they had better positioning, they would be driven back by the opposing tanks' strikes, with many being pushed into the ground-floor garages.

When the vehicle lost control, adjusting the turret angle was impossible, and the Dawn Army's tank would reverse and fire another shot, completely turning the multinational tanks into scrap metal.

Among them, one of Curry Country's buildings was struck three times in a row, collapsing a load-bearing wall, causing the staircase to crack, with a unit separating from the main building and collapsing on the spot.

Dust and smoke billowed in the neighborhood, and flames soared into the sky; many Curry Country people had to flee their homes, running desperately for their lives.

The clash of steel against steel was the main theme of this battle.

The Dawn Army's three hundred tanks faced off against five hundred multinational tanks.

At the beginning, the multinational forces didn't pay much attention to the small infantry vehicles trailing behind the tanks.

Yet these infantry vehicles played a miraculous role in the battle.

The multinational forces were hard-pressed to destroy a few Dawn Army tanks, only to see them inexplicably recover and swiftly rejoin the fight.

As time passed, the multinational tank cluster gradually became surrounded, divided, and annihilated!
