Chapter 220: St. Louis Beacon Raid
A few days later, when Moe Finger had safely finished his vacation, President Dugan personally briefed Moe Finger on the operation.
It turned out that while Mengzhi Anxin was on vacation, the Su Army's Psychic Department once again built a Psychic Beacon in the industrial city of St. Louis and controlled the civilians and garrisons there.
Missouri, where the city of St. Louis is located, is also an important base for all Eagle Army ground operations. If it cannot be recaptured in time, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Honestly, I don't want to do this at all, but that Psychic Beacon has turned our loyal American citizens into a slimy puppet army.
Commander, your next move must be swift and you must be prepared to deal with emergencies. If possible, please minimize the loss of civilians. "
President Dugan also said this in the communication, and Mengzhi nodded to show that he received it.
"Commander, I want you to be prepared, because after the Su army builds the Psychic Beacon.
We launched several surprise operations, but all ended in failure. The only base we had was severely damaged, and the troops there were either wiped out or mind-controlled.
The Su army will definitely heavily guard the city, please be prepared." General Kaveli also reminded in the communication.
After finishing the communication with the top management, Tanya contacted Moe Finger. She will lead an elite force to airdrop into downtown St. Louis and destroy the Psychic Beacon, but this also requires Moe Finger's help.
"Commander, you should know that the saddest thing for a soldier is to lose his own mind." Tanya sighed in the communication.
As for Lieutenant Eva, she told Mengzhi that if Tanya could complete the mission, the main force of the Meng army could land along the Mississippi River.
"Great, let's do something big." Mengzhi stretched his muscles and activated the combat terminal.

【Military Operation: Freedom Portal】
Soon, the elite team led by Tanya landed at a gas station in the northeast corner of the city. The mental beacon was on the west side of the commando team, where it was protected by a large number of anti-aircraft guns and magnetic explosion coils.
"By the way, Adjutant, where is our severely damaged base?"
“In the southwest part of the city, you need to have engineers rebuild it if you want to use it.
Also, Commander, I have calculated when the Psychic Beacon will affect Tanya, please speed up." Lieutenant Eva also marked a twenty-minute countdown in the lower right corner of the combat terminal.
Mengzhi also planned to let Tanya receive training from the "Psychic Commando" he brought with him after the operation was over, so that she could at least be immune to the mind control of the psychic expert and the brain car.
But now let's get busy with the mission. Tanya's commando team includes two engineers and five cute soldiers besides her.
Since those experienced soldiers are more resistant to Psychic Beacons, even the engineers in this team are elite.
Soon, Mengzhi began to command the team to quickly head to the gymnasium where the Psychic Beacon was located through the nearby highway bridge.
On the way forward, Mengzhi also saw a lot of Su troops and mind-controlled Meng troops. Their infantry and armored forces were patrolling around the city along the highway.
Taking into account that these Moe soldiers will join their team after the mind beacon is destroyed, the Moe Commander tells the commandos to try not to fight with the mind-controlled Moe soldiers, while the Su soldiers will be eliminated as soon as they are discovered.
Soon the team killed many Su Army mobilized soldiers and military dogs along the highway bridge, and Tanya also had to kill several Meng Army soldiers who blocked the way.
On the way forward, the team discovered that the Su army had detained some citizens in a makeshift prison surrounded by barbed wire. Neither Tanya nor Mengzhi knew what they were going to do.
Soon the team arrived at the outskirts of the severely damaged Meng Army base. There was only a mine and a heavy industry left here. Looking at the oil drums piled up around the two buildings, Meng Zhi also lamented how these two buildings were not completely scrapped.
Under the cover of the commandos, an engineer successfully entered the base and repaired the heavy industry, and Mengzhi also began to produce IFVs.
During this period, although a mind-controlled IFV team noticed that the heavy industry had returned to normal while patrolling on the road, they did not care about this matter without the order of Commander Su Ni.
After the IFV left the factory, Mengzhi asked it to stay on standby at the high ground, while the soldiers were responsible for guarding the gas station. As for Tanya, the engineer went to the gymnasium where the Psychic Beacon was located alone.
"Ah, as expected of that big bald guy Yuri, his logistics department is still as functional as always."
Originally, Mengzhi was planning to have the IFV tear down the wall, but he changed his mind after seeing the oil drums outside the base.
After Tanya blew up the oil barrels with a few shots, the explosions also detonated the oil barrels and V3 ammunition racks in the base. After this series of chain reactions ended, Mengzhi discovered that the magnetic explosion coils and barracks on the north side of the base were reduced to ruins because of the explosion.
At this time, Tanya also rushed in directly. After eliminating a group of mobilized soldiers and a military dog team who came with inquiries, Tanya immediately used C4 to blow up the magnetic energy reactor in the north into ruins.
At the same time, the team stationed at the gas station also successfully annihilated a patrol team of the Su Army composed of terrorist robots.
After Tanya blew up these magnetic reactors, the power supply of the Su army base was completely cut off. Mengzhi immediately asked Tanya and the engineers to take action after seeing that the magnetic explosion coil was no longer flashing arcs.
Soon the engineers occupied the mind beacon, and Mengzhi immediately sold the beacon. Looking at the sudden increase of 5,000 yuan in his account and the five extra Mengjun soldiers, Mengzhi also felt the value of this thing.
"Well done Commander, the Psychic Beacon has been dealt with, we can now move the main force in."
"Reinforcements have arrived. Reinforcements have arrived."
Following the adjutant's reminder, the amphibious transport boats carrying the MCV and its escort quickly landed at the subway station. At the same time, as the beacon disappeared, the civilians and the Meng army troops in the city began to return to normal one after another.
"I will obey the sticky lead... um, where am I?"
The commander of the Su army who discovered the situation quickly ordered his troops to eliminate these Meng soldiers and armed civilians who had been freed from mind control.
Although the order from the Su Army commander was timely, it only eliminated some Meng Army soldiers and civilians near the base. The remaining Meng Army, including the armored forces, successfully reunited with the landing troops after the mind control was lifted.
"Victory belongs to Su... We are free! Kill them!"
When the mind-controlled Mengjun troops met up with the landing troops, Mengzhi also saw a familiar figure - four prism tanks.
"Commander, I think you will like this tank. This is Einstein's vehicle-mounted improvement of Prism Technology. Please be careful not to get burned."
"By the way, Adjutant, did the professor tell me how to use this tank?"
"Oh, yes. Dr. Einstein said that prism tanks are best used in groups, and the effect is excellent."
"Then what does the professor mean by heavy tanks? I'm talking about heavy armor."
"The professor said that in order to ensure the power, he has installed the electrical coupling devices of the Light Prism Tower, and the weight is definitely enough.
However, the doctor is really powerless in terms of armor, because once the armor is installed, the light tank will cause metal resonance when firing, causing high heat to instantly melt the body, so the research department did not install armor."
"EMM, no wonder the armor of Ou Meng's Prism Tank and its upgraded version is as brittle as paper. But it looks like I have to propose the development of the Black Tortoise Battle Fortress to the doctor."
Although Mengzhi was thinking at this time, his hands did not slow down at all. He quickly stationed the Meng army soldiers around the landing point in the Arch area. At the same time, the IFV was also sent to the landing point.
As for Tanya and the others, Mengzhi asked the soldiers to withdraw from the gas station and reunite with Tanya and the others, and would arrange for an IFV to pick them up later.
While Mengzhi was arranging the defense of the landing zone and starting to build the base, Lieutenant Eva suddenly told him that there was an emergency in the small prison.
Mengzhi took a look and saw that there were three strange-looking soldiers coming to the prison gate. After he sat down, a large green radiation zone quickly melted the people in the prison into green water.
"WC, it's a radiation engineer. It looks like its radiation capability is even stronger than that of an eradicator." Mengzhi thought to himself, and Lieutenant Eva also reminded him in the communication.
“Cooking hot pot, this soldier is equipped with a nuclear combat suit.
He can irradiate a large area of the surrounding land, making it impossible for infantry or light vehicles to pass through. Use ranged units to eliminate them."
"I see. I am also experienced in dealing with radiation engineers."
When the three radiation engineers arrived, they were greeted by the concentrated fire of the cute soldiers stationed at the Great Arch and four prism tanks. The three of them were quickly killed.
After leaving the barracks, Mengzhi began to place machine gun bunkers around the base, preparing to cooperate with the armored forces and garrison buildings for defense.
"Tanya, the car is ready."
"What about these soldiers?"
"They have to stay here. After all, I plan to let these civilians take refuge in the gymnasium."
"understood."
At this time, Tanya took a car back to the base, and the cute soldiers set up a temporary line of defense at the gap in the gymnasium.
After Tanya took her position, she found that the Moe Finger was actually reviewing the troops. The Grizzlies, Prism Tanks and IFVs were all standing in neat rows, ready to go into battle at any time.
Soon Mengzhi sent all the armored forces to attack the main base of the Su army. Under the cover of the Grizzly tanks, the Prism Tanks and Tanya IFVs could attack with peace of mind. Even if they were parasitized by the Terror Robots, the Maintenance IFVs could still take them off.
"Well, Commander, how effective is this tank?"
"EMM, I agree with Dr. Einstein's suggestion. It's really fun to use. Although the durability is not ideal, the power is enough." Mengzhi exclaimed in admiration as he watched the group of prism tanks destroying the house like cutting vegetables.
However, when demolishing the house, Mengzhi also discovered the weak anti-armor capability of the Prism Tank. Although the power of the elite-level Prism has been greatly increased, this cannot change the fact that in most cases, the Prism is powerless against large-scale armored forces.
"Adjutant, is Dr. Einstein working on any new anti-armor tanks? This thing is OK for attacking buildings and infantry, but it needs the help of Grizzlies to fight against armor."
"Yes, there is. Dr. Einstein named it the Phantom Tank. It is an effective weapon against infantry and armor."
"Great." In his heart, Mengzhi also sighed, as expected, Guangling always has to bring a partner, it is really an unchanging rule.
It’s just that the team on my side was initially composed of a knight and a phantom tank, and later it was changed to a paladin and a grizzly bear. Here, Prism also teamed up with a phantom and a grizzly bear.
After losing the MCV and production facilities, the Su army decisively chose to sell all the goods in one wave, intending to take a few people with them even if they were completely wiped out.
Realizing this, Mengzhi decisively used the high mobility of the armored forces to establish a defense line at the gymnasium. On the way of retreat, the prism tanks occasionally fired a few shots at the mobilized soldiers.
When the mobilized soldiers panted towards the gymnasium, they were greeted by the prism refraction cannons of the prism tanks and the heavy machine guns of the elite soldiers.
———A few moments later
Soon all the Su army mobilized soldiers who attacked the stadium were wiped out, and the few Su army who attacked the main base were also eliminated by machine gun bunkers and garrison buildings. The Meng army also successfully recaptured the important industrial city of St. Louis.
"Well done Commander, we have successfully saved thousands of people from the effects of the Psychic Beacon. General Cavelli and President Dugan will surely be very happy."
"That's good, but I hope those two can give me a few more days of vacation." Mengzhi said in the communication while looking at the slogan "Mission Completed".
