Chapter 89: Defense of Detroit
It is quite ironic that PsiCorps is also worried about being controlled by the mind. Yuri, who learned of this, pointed out in a subsequent meeting that "this is a shame for Epsilon, especially PsiCorps."
Originally, under Bidarski's arrangement, it was impossible for the Eagle Army to break through the Psi Corps' defense line. However, the wizard who showed up halfway rushed into the fish pond like a shark. After persuading the Eagle Army, he led a large force to successfully defeat the Psi Corps and snatch the amplifier.
After the amplifier was successfully activated, the Psychic Corps stationed here were either forced to retreat or controlled by the Su Army.
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, the highest pagan religion in North America immediately came up with a solution in order to prevent them from being driven back into the sea.
First, he ordered all the troops near Chicago to evacuate as quickly as possible in the direction away from the amplifier; second, he ordered his men to build mental beacons at appropriate locations to offset the effects of the amplifier; and finally, he called for reinforcements.
This combination of punches was effective, and the PsiCorps slowly stabilized after a short period of chaos. Although the overall situation was still not optimistic, at least they had completed the current mission.
The next step was to defend against the counterattack of the Su army while waiting for the headquarters guards and subsequent reinforcements from Arkwell to buy time for regaining control of Eagle Sauce.
However, the coalition forces also discovered this situation. At the beginning, they targeted the PsiCorps base by launching tactical nuclear bombs to destroy the beacon after the Shadow Squad determined the location of the beacon. At that time, they could use the amplifier to take over here.
Although the effect was significant, considering the range of the amplifier and the stockpile of nuclear bombs, the coalition decided to send troops to directly dismantle or control the Psychic Beacon.
Now let's turn our attention to Detroit, which is more than 400 kilometers away from Chicago. At this time, Brad, a pagan from Arkville, immediately built a Psychic Beacon to resist the influence of the amplifier after receiving a transfer force from the PsiCorps. He also used mobile defense vehicles and emergency tank bunkers to initially establish a defense line.
At this time, the coalition forces also noticed this place. They found that there were still some Epsilon troops here that had not been controlled.
In order to eliminate these stubborn enemies, the coalition arranged a commando team composed of Latin Tongmeng and mind-controlled Eagle Army to come to Detroit and quickly establish several bases in the north of the city. In addition, the coalition high-level officials also authorized the commander stationed here to build two iron curtain devices to assist the armored forces in destroying the beacon.
As for the North American PsiCorps at this time, although the headquarters had been arranging reinforcements before the Battle of Chicago, due to the location of Detroit far from the coastline, the Epsilon army here only had the production rights for some weapons, and they did not have the production rights for new units such as the Infernal Platform, Psychic Elite, and Predator.
"Brother of PsiCorps, I will attract their attention near the beacon, and you will protect the beacon and counterattack." Brad, the commander of Arkwell, suggested.
"Thanks, brother. I'll treat you to dinner later." Enrique responded after hearing this.
While the two were talking, the two MCVs had already been deployed. Brad was responsible for defending the main force of the coalition forces, while Enrique was responsible for the counterattack.
At this time, Brad had already deployed a large number of Gatling guns and Hell Thermal Towers near the base and the beacon using mobile defense vehicles. He also surrounded the Psychic Beacon with a wall in advance.
At this time, a group of invading UFOs and reinforcements consisting of dune cavalry arrived, and both of them simultaneously let these UFOs explore the way and clear the surrounding darkness.
The next step was the large-scale construction phase. Both of them built barracks, heavy industry and other production buildings, and then used Gatling guns and tank bunkers for defense.
"Two heretics, a group of reinforcements including infiltrators have arrived. Please make good use of them. Also, according to intelligence, Latin Tongmeng is sending out arsonists! Don't let them get close to the Psychic Beacon."
As soon as the adjutant finished speaking, several transport planes flew over and dropped a large number of basic infantry and infiltrators.
"Infiltrators go to the PsiCorps base and wait for orders. All believers and berserkers go to the houses around the beacon to assist in the defense."
Enrique on the side also asked the infiltrators to wait for orders, and the infantry were stationed in the surrounding houses.
While the two were arranging their troops for defense, the coalition advance team, following the airborne troops that cleared the way, had already arrived at their defense line.
"The dissolving ray is ready."
"They won't understand what's going on."
After using the defense tower wall to block this wave of attacks, Enrique also received support from a group of psychic elites and mobile cloning vats.
"They've arrived just in time. Let them follow the experts and earn their own way in the back. Let the armored units and defense towers defend the front line first."
Brad asked them to deploy defenses near the Apostles as soon as the Worm Tanks came out.
(Digger Tank: A reference to the NOD Tick Tank manuscript, which can be optionally deployed to increase defense and attack power.
Apostle: It is Arkwell's mobile hell thermal tower, using arc kinetic energy cannons, and can provide repairs to vehicles within range after deployment.
At this time, the Eagle Army airdropped a group of infantry and hound squads, but in front of a large number of bald heads, it was just a self-help, especially after the crushing and recycling plant came out.
"FUCK, get the riot police into the IFV and kill those bald guys."
Brad also noticed several special IFVs rushing over. He watched them throw a few flash bombs at the Worm Tanks, only to be shot away by the Apostles who reacted quickly.
"It's a good idea, but I won't make such a low-level mistake." Brad said as he continued to use the Gatling gun and tank bunkers to improve the defense line.
While he was improving his defenses, the Eagle Army and the Su Army's offensive was advancing like a tide. At first, the defenses were attacked by a few city management IFVs and some prism soldiers, which could be easily dealt with using flying saucers and apostles.
However, as time went on, T3 tanks such as Abrams, Calamity and Magnetic also appeared in the attack queue, and some rocket soldiers and Kirovs came from the air from time to time.
At this time, in addition to the defense towers and armored units, a group of psychic experts and psychic masters were hiding behind the defense line, ready to help themselves.
"These Abrams and magnetic energy can just strengthen the defense line. As for the disaster, considering that the radiation engineer is not under control, you should go to the recycling station to exchange for money."
On the other side, in Enrique's base, since most of the troops are attracted by Brad, there is only a small amount of magnetic energy, and Kirov will come to attack.
"Exploring the way? I'm pretty good at this."
At this time, after Enrique had opened up the field of vision with the reconnaissance crows, he ordered the air force to destroy the enemies along the way. After the road was cleared, he arranged for the goblins to lure out the enemy's fury mines. Finally, the infiltrator sneaked in.
The two-man infiltrator team successfully bypassed the patrolling police dogs and infiltrated the enemy's barracks, heavy industry and mines after putting on the Shadow Surround. The next step is to use the cloning cylinder to explode the troops.
----after a while
Brad asked Enrique as he looked at the Berserkers and Orcs who were ready at home.
"I'm ready here, how's your situation?"
"I'm ready too, ready to take action at any time." Enrique said, looking at the dune cavalry at home.
"When will the fight start?"
"Now!!! Let the Latin people experience the power of the human wave tactic."
Under the horrified gaze of the Allied soldiers, a large number of Orcs wearing Berserker and Healing Needle gears rushed towards them under their artillery fire, while Mind Crusher, Dune Rider, Berserker and other units hiding behind the Orcs attacked indiscriminately.
"Open fire, open fire quickly, we must not let them get close to here."
"Where are the Fury Mine? Why aren't they firing?"
"Sir, there are too many of them. The effect of the Fury Mine is really limited."
"Damn, they're everywhere... Wait, who put these oil drums there?"
“Ah ...
Accompanied by bursts of fire and explosions, Latin Tongmeng's defense line was successfully broken through, the defense towers were destroyed by Mind Crusher and Magneto Tank, the air force and armored forces were handed over to Berserkers, and the infantry clusters and buildings were handed over to Dune Cavalry.
Brad was also moved when he saw the large force successfully breaking through the Latin defense line with the help of oil barrels.
"Epsilon Logistics' use of oil drums is worthy of a paper."
On the artificial island not far away, the wizard, ignoring his adjutant's dissuasion, was also watching the battle under the escort of a large number of troops. Looking at the Latin base besieged by a large army, the wizard also sighed.
"It looks like we have to change the direction of our attack. At least we can't stay here any longer."
Soon the first Latin Tongmeng base was destroyed and the Iron Curtain device became scrap metal, but when attacking the second base, the adjutant reminded.
"Pagan, we found a senior general of the Su army supervising the battle on the artificial island west of the beacon. Lord Yuri asked you to eliminate him."
At this time, the two pagans also discovered the genius hiding in the dark. After seeing this, Enrique and Brad arranged a large number of evil spirit fighters and invading UFOs to try to kill him.
"Comrade General, you have to evacuate. The Epsilon army has discovered you. We will buy you some time." said the accompanying guard commander.
"Understood. I wish you peace."
After the wizard finished speaking, he evacuated in an improved Destroyer vehicle, escorted by several Sentinels and Tiger armored vehicles.
"Don't even think about running away!!!" At this time, a large number of Ghost fighters had rushed here. Although the escort team shot down many of them, they still fired a large number of ARO armor-piercing shells at the Destroyer.
At this moment, a black light turned the God of Destruction and the surrounding sentinels black.
"Damn it, it's that Iron Curtain device, we should have destroyed it long ago."
"Okay, Enrique, let's withdraw the invading UFOs. General Su's guards have arrived." Brad said as he looked at the Foxtrot Dancers, the Wolfhound Battalion and a large number of airborne troops that arrived later.
"I see. I really can't accept this."
Enrique, who was furious at this time, immediately ordered the army to smash the iron curtain device that ruined his plan into scrap metal. The Wizard also knew that the counterattack in Detroit had failed, so he ordered the commander of the coalition forces there to evacuate the Eagle Army and the remaining Su Army.
The two heretics who saw this also arranged their troops to pursue them closely. Most of the troops and the MCV were either killed or controlled. Only a few people successfully left the beacon's range and joined the support troops.
"It's a pity that we couldn't wipe out all these guys."
"Don't worry, buddy, this day will come sooner or later." Brad on the side comforted.
"Yeah, you're right, thanks buddy. I hope we can continue to cooperate next time."
"must."
After the two pagans fist-bumped, the encounter ended with Epsilon's victory.
After receiving the briefing, Yuri first affirmed the two's achievements in defending Detroit and stabilizing the front line, and then he was very dissatisfied with their mistake of letting the Wizards run away.
The failure of the Rio de Janeiro and Detroit operations, a combat hero who let the Su army escape, and a senior general who let the Su army escape. They will become Epsilon's most difficult enemies in the future.
However, considering that North America is still in need of manpower, and the two have indeed made great contributions in defending the front line, Yuri will not let them generate electricity in the biochemical reactor or send them back to the military academy for retraining.
"Yuri, but then again, why would a wizard go to the front line?"
"According to the intelligence our intelligence officers obtained, the Wizards probably went there to integrate troops and supplies. It seems that the current coalition forces are leaving North America and moving to the Far East."
"Huh? Why?"
"Humph, I guess they realized that our weapons technology is being updated much faster than theirs, and staying in North America is no less than a slow death."
"I understand. So, what are the plans for the Meng army now?"
"Well, the Meng army is still fighting our puppet troops in Africa, and the reports on various losses at the logistics department are piling up. But the intelligence officer sent me a special message a while ago."
"what news?"
"The Paradox Engine is running low, so they'll probably look for a place to recharge it. I'll ask the intelligence officer to get the video when they start the operation."
"I see. So, how did you arrange things for Xiaoyun?"
"I will have the troops guarding the headquarters go with him. Arkwell is also ready to receive the troops."
"That's good."
While the two were communicating, a special meeting was taking place in the Paradox Expeditionary Force far away in North Africa.
"According to our statistics, the batteries in the Paradox Engine are either exhausted or have less than 15% of their power left, which is insufficient for large-scale space-time teleportation operations."
"We have to find a suitable place to recharge now if we don't want the Paradox Drive to crash."
"But where can we charge Paradox? We definitely can't do that on the mainland. We can't let Paradox take any risks."
"Why don't we go to the Canary Islands? According to the map we got from the enemy's MCV, Epsilon has deployed a large number of biochemical reaction chambers on that island of Tenerife. We might be able to use them."
"Who should go then?"
At this point, everyone present turned their eyes to Mengzhi, and Mengzhi said that he was used to it.
After deciding on the commander, the Meng Army's top brass developed a comprehensive battle plan after a series of discussions. A surprise attack that would determine the survival of the Meng Army was about to begin.
