Chapter 331 Goodbye, Comrade
As the crisis in Aocheng was resolved, Yun Mo continued to garrison in Aocheng, while General Tian Ziren returned to his base in Mianyang.
I thought Epsilon would be quiet for a while before taking the next action, but who would have thought that Yuri could not help himself. Less than a week after the end of the Australia City operation, they launched a fierce attack on Mianyang.
At the same time as receiving the request for help from General Tian Ziren, Yun Mo also learned from the auxiliary AI that Yuri's troops were more than ten times the size of the local garrison.
As for Yuri's purpose, Yun Mo looked at the information and found that General Tian Ziren's troops were mainly responsible for guarding an important nuclear research facility in Mianyang. The nuclear materials in this facility were enough to produce several MIDAS warheads.
It is obvious that Epsilon's goal is to seize the nuclear materials and weapon design drawings there. If they really get them, the whole world will basically be doomed.
However, the problem now is that due to the suddenness of the Epsilon attack, General Tian Ziren only had time to transfer the scientific researchers and some research materials in the research facility. Now the Seris army there can basically be described as fighting a do-or-die battle.
————Combat Control System Connected————
After observing the defense situation around the nuclear research facility, Yun Mo saw that the soldiers stationed here were also ready to fight Epsilon to the end.
However, at this moment, Tian Ziren's communication suddenly approached Yun Mo's channel.
"Comrade Yun Mo, since we can only fight with our backs against the wall now, I have an idea."
After Tian Ziren finished speaking, he injected those fast neutrons into the device in the combat terminal.
According to Tianshu's idea, Epsilon's goal should be to seize rather than destroy these devices, so their chance has come.
As long as they can successfully convert a large amount of plutonium-239 using these devices and then detonate them successfully, they can drag these Epsilon soldiers down with them to be buried together.
"But, Commander, in this case, you..."
"Comrade Yun Mo, I think this is something you can give a try. Just go for it."
"Oh... okay."
At this time, Ye Erwen also marked the time needed for Yun Mo to convert a sufficient amount of plutonium-239, a full eight hours. If the fast neutron injection device was destroyed, the conversion time would be further extended.
"This is really a bit like playing the inheritor." Yun Mo also sighed.
"Comrade General, our nuclear arsenal has been completely unlocked. You can now build and use two tactical nuclear missile silos at the same time."
“That’s great news.”
Yun Mo's MCV was also deployed at this time, surrounded by some Nuwa cannons and Sentinel anti-aircraft vehicles arranged for him by Tian Ziren, and there were even two Mastodon prototypes at the front.
At the same time, in order to reduce the time for Yun Mo to build the base, Tian Ziren also handed over a base that had been built to a certain level, including the command of the MCV, to Yun Mo.
(The Mastodon prototype's primary weapon was a radiation railgun, not a plasma railgun.
The prototype has a shorter range than the Mastodon, but is faster; it is more effective against buildings and infantry, but less effective against armored units.
The prototype will not release nanobots to repair itself if it is damaged too much, but can use nanorepair fields.)
After taking over the command of the troops, Yun Mo arranged and trained more engineers to occupy the surrounding technological oil wells, and Heavy Industry began mass production of armed mining vehicles.
As for those troops, the mobilized soldiers and radiation engineers were also assigned to the two fast neutron injection devices in the south of Base No. 3. As for the T armored troops, they established a defense line in the west of the research facility relying on the defense facilities there.
Of course, it is impossible for the main base to be unguarded. In addition to the sentry guns, Yun Mo also transferred some of the Qilin tanks from other locations to protect the base.
"Comrade General, I must remind you that although the Epsilon enemies will not destroy these devices, in order to prevent them from occupying them, please destroy these devices when you have to retreat."
"Yelwen, I understand."
————Ten minutes later (There are still more than six hours left in the countdown.)
At this time, Yun Mo had taken over all the technological drilling wells around the research facility, and more than a dozen armed mining vehicles were also mining in mines throughout the research base.
Meanwhile, at the base, important buildings such as the Atomic Core, Iron Curtain and Recruiting Center have been completed. The next step is to complete the defense line and assemble the troops.
"Comrade General, we have arranged some trucks carrying a large amount of nuclear waste to come to support us. I hope they can buy us some time."
Hearing this, Yun Mo pulled all these trucks to the outskirts of the Serbian outpost on the west side of the base. As long as the Epsilon launched an attack from here, these trucks would be able to give them a good taste of nuclear waste.
"Warning, enemy armored forces detected approaching."
As soon as Yelwen finished speaking, an armored force composed of Colossus, Ops and Lord of Mind rushed towards the western outpost.
"Warning, the Iron Curtain device has been activated."
“Acknowledged. Received.”
"Affirmative. Understood."
Under Yun Mo's command, these nuclear suicide trucks covered with iron curtains rushed directly into the enemy's vehicle group and replaced a large number of EP's armored forces.
As a pleasant surprise, this wave of suicide truck attacks not only killed a number of EP's armored forces, but also accidentally destroyed an EPMCV that arrived slowly.
However, despite this, the EP troops, which had a numerical advantage, still rushed towards the research base like a tide.
The Seris army at the western outpost was outnumbered and had to abandon its original position and return to Yunmo's defense line after just a few minutes.
When the Epsilon orcs rushed towards the research base, they were greeted by a large number of rotorcraft soldiers in addition to armored troops and defense towers.
It has to be said that with the Recruiting Center, a universal cloning tank for the Su Army, Yun Mo's speed in accumulating rotorcraft soldiers is extremely fast.
In front of the QJZ machine guns of a large number of rotorcraft soldiers, no matter whether they were orcs, magnetrons and colossi, or invading UFOs and poisonous lizard warships, EP's troops were blocked here and could not move.
However, this was just one of the lines of defense. Soon the northwestern outpost was attacked head-on by a large number of Epsilon armored forces. Even though Yun Mo arranged EMP and tactical nuclear bomb support, it was only a matter of time before this place was captured.
If this outpost falls, Epsilon only needs to eliminate the small number of Seris defenders along the way and can rush directly into the research base.
At this time, a troop escorting MCV appeared in the northeast of the base. Yun Mo immediately deployed the MCV on the spot, and the escort teams were also transferred to guard the bridgehead. Yun Mo even arranged maintenance drones and maintenance cranes there to reduce losses.
At other entrances and exits, Yun Mo also arranged a number of rotorcraft soldiers to cooperate with defense towers to block the doors and defend the main entrance. General Tian Ziren also always dispatched his armored troops to provide support.
At the same time, in order to prevent the two fast neutron injection devices over there from falling into the hands of EP, Yun Mo also ordered the supporting Kirov airship to blow up the two devices.
Soon the two fast neutron injection devices were destroyed, and there were still five hours to produce enough plutonium-239.
————Four hours left to complete production
At this time, after completely wiping out the Seris troops outside the research facility, Epsilon's troops had officially launched an attack on the research base.
On the west side of the research base, Epsilon tried to use a large number of Bloatlice to cooperate with the invading UFO to launch a strong attack to attract attention, while also sending some Colossi to launch a sneak attack from behind.
Unfortunately, this trick was quickly discovered by Yun Mo, and those giants were all destroyed by the Mastodon prototype and Nuwa cannon.
Although they did destroy a lot of rotorcraft, Yun Mo, who had built several recruitment centers, had already replenished more rotorcraft. With the support of the subsequently produced Sentinel anti-aircraft vehicles, Epsilon's invading UFO troops had to avoid their attack.
On the other side, on the northwest side, Epsilon also deployed a number of Colossi, magnetic control tanks and Nightmare Walkers to attack the city.
However, the heretic seemed to have forgotten that Seris had an EMP, and he actually let his magnetically controlled tanks float on the water to attack the city.
These allowed the EMP base stations, Mastodon prototypes and Dragonfly drones to take a heavy toll, and basically no magnetic control tank left the water alive.
After losing the main force of the siege, the pagans also used their troops to rely on human wave tactics to try to break through Seris's defense line.
Unfortunately, because the highway bridge is too narrow, Epsilon's armored forces can only line up in a long snake formation, which also gives the Mastodon prototype and the rotorcraft a chance to output.
As for those invading UFOs and poisonous lizard warships that are not affected by the terrain, the Sentinel anti-aircraft vehicles will treat them well.
In the following period of time, as the production time passed by, Yun Mo repelled Epsilon's attacks time and time again.
Perhaps because they went too deep into the heart of Seris, although this Epsilon heretic had accumulated a large number of troops, he did not have access to the Psychic Dominator, which meant that they could only engage in a fierce tug-of-war with the opposing Seris troops.
At this time, the pagans also tried to arrange small forces to rush into the defense gap of Seris under the cover of the air force and seize those fast neutron injection devices.
Unfortunately, Yun Mo had already thought of this. Thanks to the recruitment centers that could train a large number of infantry at the same time, he was able to prepare a large number of rotorcraft around each device.
Coupled with the defensive facilities surrounding the facility, the raid naturally failed and the raiding force was completely wiped out.
However, even though Yun Mo had tried his best to arrange as many troops as possible for defense, Epsilon's attack still came like a tide, wave after wave.
Soon the position at the northwest bridgehead had to be abandoned due to heavy losses, and the garrison at the western outpost also suffered heavy losses and had to detonate the two devices.
Fortunately, the conversion of plutonium-239 was finally completed, and Yun Mo detonated all the devices under the order of General Tian Ziren.
As mushroom clouds rose from all directions of the research base, General Tian Ziren began his final speech through the broadcasting system.
"To all the comrades who are still fighting on the front lines! I have something else to say to you.
This is also my last speech, I hope everyone will listen carefully.
Soon a nuclear warhead with an equivalent of 200 million tons of TNT will be detonated here, and we will be buried here together with enemies that are dozens of times larger than us.
We paid a huge price for this damn war, even my son died on the battlefield.
After receiving the news, I was very sad, but I was also prepared to pay a higher price.
Because we will use our blood and lives to tell these invaders that this is a land they can never occupy.”
After General Tian Ziren's speech, the combat terminal was quickly cut off. Before the signal was lost, a mushroom cloud that was much larger than the previous one was rising in the center of the research base.
The huge earthquake caused by the nuclear explosion even caused the combat terminal to shake constantly.
Looking at the disconnected combat terminal, Yun Mo also said silently in his heart: "Have a good journey, Chief."
However, the dead are gone, and the only thing Yun Mo can do next is to break Yuri's conspiracy so that the blood of the soldiers will not be shed in vain.
Soon, the order from the Supreme Command was issued to go to Busan in South Korea, and even Cheonkwon was sent there.
