Chapter 274 Scorpio Chronicles (2)
———Two weeks after the Battle of El Alamein
The Battle of El Alamein acted like a fuse that ignited the entire African continent. Every day, countless people actively or passively joined the Scorpion Cell's resistance team.
During these two weeks, countless Su Army bases were raided and infiltrated, which not only weakened Su's control over the African continent, but also handed over a large amount of Su Army armaments to the Scorpion Cell.
This made Rushdie realize that the time had come to begin the siege of Alexandria.
According to his adjutant, in addition to the familiar Su Jun or Scorpio armaments, Rashidi will also put a prototype through final testing and put it into this battle.
"Although due to Yuri's death, we have lost the ability to use psychic power to collect intelligence, which means we can only rely on those reconnaissance crows and reconnaissance aircraft to explore intelligence.
Although we currently know very little about Alexandria, we will have agents infiltrate the city during the siege to review the situation.
Brothers, we have sacrificed too much in the past few months, and through this siege, we will take back what is ours! We will also prove that we can succeed even without Yuri and his Epsilons!"
———The Outer Pass of Alexandria
Due to the narrow terrain here, the Su army deployed all the troops outside the port here for defense. They also arranged a number of elite troops here, such as Apocalypse and magnetic tanks.
However, before launching the general attack here, the Scorpio Organization also prepared several feint attacks in advance.
Those infiltrators who had ambushed in advance also took the opportunity to prepare enough oil barrels between those high-tech concrete bunkers and fortresses, as well as those main garrison forces.
"Brother, these captured Su Army weapons will help us drive their creators from this land."
When the mixed force composed of Scorpio and Sticky Armaments was fighting with the Su Army on the periphery, a specially modified suicide truck knocked away a Stinger vehicle blocking the road and rushed into the Su Army pass.
With a series of roars, the Su army's armored forces, concrete bunkers and fortresses outside the port were blown to pieces.
The Su army in the outpost saw the endless stream of Scorpion troops and realized that it was only a matter of time before they fell here, so they also drove the roaring anti-aircraft missiles parked in the base into the port area.
They were right. When the roaring anti-aircraft missiles left the outpost, a mixed force composed of magnetic energy, destroyers and scuds, together with radiation engineers, rushed to the battlefield.
————A few moments later
After losing all the production buildings, the Su army here decisively chose to charge forward, and even the soldiers stationed in the technological concrete bunkers and fortresses were no exception.
Seeing this, Sankara ordered all the armored units to retreat. When the Su army focused their attention on them, the radiation engineers had already been waiting for a long time.
"Let's make an oasis of death"
“Make it glow”
"Let's heat'em up"
With several radiation engineers deployed together, the Su Army's mobilized soldiers and anti-aircraft infantry were wiped out in just a few seconds.
"Well done, brother. We now have the outer area under our control. Now you need to hold on here until the MCV arrives."
As soon as the adjutant finished speaking, a ten-minute countdown appeared in the lower right corner of the combat terminal.
At the same time, the reinforcements arranged by Rashidi also arrived at the battlefield. In addition to the archers and recruits used to garrison bunkers and fortresses, several strange-looking tanks also arrived here along the highway.
According to Rushdie, this tank, code-named Scarab, was inspired by the Disaster Tank of the Latin Confederation.
Although everyone knows the shortcomings of the Scorpion's armament, and the Scarab does not have air defense capabilities, its T2 level, armor that is not inferior to that of the Colossus, and the passenger slot greatly enhance its practicality.
Rashidi also understood the use of the scarab, so he prepared a Destroyer vehicle filled with radiation engineers.
In order to deal with the counterattacking Su army, Sankara quickly deployed radiation engineers on scarabs and let them guard the main entrance of the pass together with other anti-armor capabilities.
Among the other troops, the Scuds were responsible for targeted attacks on the roads to weaken the passing Su Army troops, while the Gatling and Tigers were responsible for dealing with the Su Army's airborne troops.
As for the infantry, except for the new recruits and archers stationed in bunkers and fortresses, the radiation, disease sniper and dune cavalry and other infantry who could not enter civilian houses were also divided into two groups to prepare to properly welcome the airborne troops of the Su Army.
"Warning, the Su army troops in the city have begun to counterattack."
Perhaps because of the importance of this place or the wealth of the Su army in the port area, Sankara discovered that the Apocalypse tanks appeared in the attacking Su army armored forces.
Fortunately, the coordination of the Su army was not ideal, and vehicles like Apocalypse and Magnetic Energy were all focused on the technological bunkers, which gave Sankara the opportunity to defeat them one by one.
As for those Su army infantrymen who airdropped into the outpost, they were either shot into sieves by the tigers and Gatling guns, or turned into a pool of yellow water, or turned into a giant fire man, or at worst, a ball of green poisonous mist.
But this was only the first wave. The Su army's attack was like a tide, launching wave after wave of human sea attacks.
But Sankara is not alone. Rashidi will arrange a batch of drill vehicle reinforcements every few minutes. In addition to basic infantry, there are also flash streams, sand dunes and flamethrowers.
At the same time, a group of armored troops would be arranged from time to time to come over for support on the highway, led by either Gatling or Mantis, or even the Su Army's magnetic tanks, but the finale would definitely be the Scarab tank.
Facing the Scorpion Organization, which had the advantage of both terrain and people, the Su Army tried every trick in the book, such as using a cluster of suicide trucks and a wolfhound brigade; using the captured Seris armaments to launch the Great Wall of Steel offensive; or using the Rhino tanks to launch a sneak attack from behind, but all ended in failure.
"Good job bro, the MCV and its escort have arrived at the battlefield, protect them."
At this time, an EP-style MCV rushed to the battlefield along the road and deployed in the open space on the west side of the outpost. The escort team around it had mantises and invading UFOs in front, and scarab tanks behind.
"Brother, your base has been deployed, it's time to retake Alexandria."
But Sankara really wants to complain, two biochemical reaction rooms plus a radar spiral tower and a mine are considered to be the complete deployment?
But despite all the complaints, Sankara began to build heavy industry, and at the same time, the Mantis tanks cleared out the debris in the outpost that affected the construction.
As for the troops here, except for the invading UFOs that were responsible for patrolling, those unused flash streams and flamethrowers were sent to the biochemical reactor to generate electricity, and basically they were on standby.
"Brother, according to the agents, those unidentified vehicles of the Su army have completed their deployment. Please be careful."
Sankara also looked at the Su army in the city. There were four roaring anti-aircraft missiles around the Iron Curtain device alone, and there were probably many more in other areas. This also made him give up the idea of an air force attack.
————After a period of development
Rashidi also understood the difficulty of attacking Alexandria, so he arranged a lot of reinforcements.
For example, the training drawings of flamethrowers and radiation engineers, the longbows and raider helicopters seized from the Su Army and the Meng Army, and the oxidizers and Gatling tanks that came to support.
Of course, the most important one is the improved plague catapult. After the careful improvement of the Third Canteen, the current plague catapult not only has more terrifying damage, but those poison barrels can even eliminate the Su army infantry stationed in houses and bunkers.
However, during the development period, Sankara's armored forces did not stay in the base as fixed artillery positions.
On the contrary, they relied on their advantages in quantity and quality to quickly seize the technological oil drilling wells and refineries in the highlands north of the outpost and recover the war funds stored there by the Su army.
Although there is a technological expansion outpost there, Sankara did not arrange for engineers to occupy it, after all, his own home has not been completed yet.
The Su army simply adopted a sit-in tactic towards Sankara's expansion. They had lost nearly half of their mobile forces in the previous attack, which made them cautious.
When Sankara was developing, the Su army did not make any major response except for deploying a small number of infantry, suicide truck teams and airborne tanks to explore the way. At most, they would occasionally send a technological missile to attack the heavy industry and cause some damage.
Sankara also seized this opportunity to use the air force and armored forces, as well as the obelisks responsible for attracting firepower, to effortlessly drive the Soviet army troops outside the city to the concrete bunker defense line across the road.
"Brother, let me repeat your mission. The first is to destroy the Su Army's command center. The second is to occupy the Su Army's advanced radar station to confirm the Su Army's troop deployment. The last is to seize the unknown vehicles in the port area.
Of course, considering that the Soviet fleet in Alexandria has already left the port, perhaps you can understand their purpose by occupying the port building.
In addition, you are not fighting alone. Our friends have successfully cleared out the Su army in the southeast, and they will directly attack the Su army's main base to attract their attention."
"EMM, it's time to attack."
Sankara looked at the armored forces produced in the base and said that among them there were repair stingers, radiation scarabs, and plague catapults, and together with the previous troops, they were enough to break through the tortoise shell of the Su army.
“What ill luck they have. They have such bad luck.”
“They’ll need no treatment. They’ll need no treatment.
Under the impact of those toxin barrels, the attacked technological concrete bunkers were quickly overwhelmed.
In order to avoid being suffocated to death, the Su army infantry, which had already lost more than half of their soldiers, had to evacuate from here. Of course, in the end they just had to change the way of ascending to heaven.
In the southeastern part of the city, another Scorpion Organization force successfully blocked the counterattack launched by the Su army using wolfhounds and suicide trucks and quickly established a Gatling gun and thermal tower defense line.
In addition, they also successfully seized the technological oil drilling wells and refineries left there by the Su army and used these funds to start further military expansion. The scarabs and magnetic tanks were enough to give the Su army here a hard time.
Faced with the Scorpion Organization's pincer attack, the two Su Army commanders gritted their teeth and stomped their feet to set up the nuclear missile launch silo.
Rashidi was well prepared for this. He quickly used heavy Kamaz to transport the raw materials to the Sankara outpost and built a nuclear missile launch silo.
After breaking through the bunkers and fortress defenses, Sankara's troops were unstoppable. They easily destroyed an exclusive power generation area of the Su army, and several nuclear power plants turned into mushroom clouds.
However, after achieving such a victory, Sankara commanded his troops to march northwest, preparing to annihilate the defenders in the direction of the port in one fell swoop. However, those Su troops using basic Meng and Su armaments were no match for them.
"Arrange the commandos. The enemy's main force is now focused on attacking us. Arrange the Wolfhounds and Scud missiles to eliminate their bunker defenses."
Under the command of the Su army commander, a commando team was also preparing to play a home exchange tactic with Sankara, but the invading UFOs and helicopters clustered at the pass told them that this road was blocked!
Faced with the mixed doubles of the air force and the bunker defenders, the Su army's home-changing strategy failed as expected. Sankara even destroyed two deployed Stalin's Fists with a nuclear bomb.
"Damn Scorpion Cell, where are our nuclear bombs? Why aren't they being launched?"
"Comrade General, our nuclear bombs have already..."
The general looked in the direction pointed by the adjutant and found that more than half of the sticky troops in the port area had been lost. Except for the port warehouse in the northernmost part, all other areas had been lost. The nuclear missile silo was naturally reduced to ruins by the armored forces.
Then it became obvious that the armored commandos at the port were also advancing eastward along the highway. Facing the scarabs, the steel torrent composed of magnetic energy, even the magnetic energy of the Su army, the Nuwa cannon, or the old and outdated Apocalypse tanks were no match for them.
To make matters worse, the other two nuclear power plant areas of the Su army were destroyed by Sankara using armored forces and tactical nuclear bombs.
I have to say that the counterintelligence capabilities of these Su troops are really ridiculous. The agents didn't even notice anything unusual with so many oil drums placed there.
However, due to the lack of electricity, the Su Army was no match for the commandos as they lost most of their defensive buildings and had their production speed halved. What's more, there was another armored unit of the Scorpion Organization attacking on the other side.
As for those tasks, Sankara also completed them. The roaring anti-aircraft missiles parked at the port were driven by the hijackers along the highway to the rear border.
After occupying the port building and the advanced radar station, Sankara also found a lot of valuable information. For example, the Su army here is just a second-line force, and the real main force is still confronting the Meng army in the English Channel.
At the same time, the intelligence also said that the Su Army’s rule within the European continent was not going smoothly. Because of the reorganization of the Meng Army rebels, they had to regroup their troops.
But this news still gave Rushdie a headache. He had to destroy the last command center of the Su army first.
Under the concentrated fire of plague catapults and scarab tanks, the last command center of the Su Army was reduced to ruins, and the Su Army commanders were buried in layers of rubble.
"What a pity! Why can't the leader arrange more hijackers? I've always coveted these Apocalypse tanks."
"Brother, forget about buying that outdated junk. After all, even if we get it, the subsequent upkeep and maintenance won't be a small amount of money."
"Yeah, too."
After annihilating the remaining Su troops in Alexandria, Rashidi said in the communication that he would arrange troops to rebuild and protect the place. At the same time, he would arrange more agents to investigate the situation of the main forces of the Meng Army and the Su Army.
But before that, he and Sankara still have one last mission to do, which is to liberate the heart of Aji - Cairo. Liberating this place will completely eliminate the influence of the Su army in North Africa.
