Resurrection Empire-Chapter 905 - 348: Steel Torrent

Previously, hundreds of Third and Fourth Level professionals under the banner of the Alliance Army, who had approached within three to four hundred meters and had found cover to lurk nearby, charged out once again, either taking to the air or quickly zigzagging on the ground.

Their mobility was too strong, making it difficult for kinetic blast bombs, which had lost the guidance of the "Net" and terminal guidance capability, to hit.

The gunsmiths on the city walls, armed with rocket launchers and sniper rifles, began to play their role, attempting to use rockets with certain guidance capabilities and slower flight speeds for tracking strikes, or faster sniper bullets and energy beam laser guns for direct hits.

However, there were some problems here. The enemy's professional level was relatively high. Although their equipment was less intelligent, the material and energy shield performance itself was not compromised.

The gunsmiths of Chromium Carbon Town had inferior comprehensive qualities compared to the regular forces of the Starfire Army, resulting in lower shooting accuracy. This led to an unreasonably distributed firepower net constructed by multiple people concentrating fire, always leaving room for the enemy to dodge and maneuver.

Throughout the whole process, only a minority of specially adjusted recoilless heavy snipers and high-power energy cannons on the city wall, aided by additional electromagnetic sights and the gunsmiths' occasional flashes of brilliance, managed to hit over ten people. However, they still couldn't stop the opponent's advance, allowing them to reach close.

Close combat with cold weapons began.

More than sixty Fourth Level professionals from Chromium Carbon Town were the first to engage, with some suddenly revealing their trump cards to demonstrate Fifth Level strength.

Several hundred Second and Third Level professionals, who had moved into position ahead of time, provided assistance. Additionally, thousands of First Level professionals attempted long-range support.

This strategy was developed by Liang Qifa based on the tactics and strategies he learned at the Starfire Military Academy.

However, when both sides truly engaged in close combat, Liang Qifa immediately realized his mistake.

In the past, the ability to provide long-range support in chaotic battles was due to the assistance of the "Net's" computing power. A precise friend-or-foe identification system could still operate efficiently in an extremely chaotic battlefield environment, effectively preventing friendly fire and improving hit rates.

At that time, long-range support was genuine support, not a hindrance.

But now, although Starfire Military Industry has partially restored brain computing power, it is far from the same as before.

At this moment, the enemy was using a small amount of elite force to breach our formation. They were few, and we were many; they were strong, and we were weak. A stray bullet could easily end up hitting our own people.

So-called long-range support instead became support for the enemy.

Within just thirty seconds, Liang Qifa hastily ordered everyone to cease long-range firing through the command system.

It took another eight seconds for his order to reach the front lines.

In that brief delay, the defenders of Chromium Carbon Town lost hundreds in the chaos, with over a hundred fatalities and more than three hundred severely or lightly injured.

After changing the strategy, Chromium Carbon Town could only rely on mech warriors and armored soldiers to engage in close-quarters combat using melee weapons.

The courage of the local warriors was commendable, but they lacked the numbers of skilled experts in comparison.

As time went on, the skilled forces of Chromium Carbon Town suffered significant injuries and fatalities, and their combat strength quickly diminished.

Purely from a numerical perspective, the skilled forces of the Alliance Army also suffered similar losses, with dozens dead or injured.

There was a distinction between the two; as long as the Chromium Carbon Town defenders were not killed on the spot, they could generally be rescued and sent to the town's hospital.

The besieging Alliance Army, however, if they couldn't escape on their own, basically couldn't survive and would be executed. Nevertheless, the situation was shifting unfavorably for Chromium Carbon Town.

The situation gradually changed again. Due to the heavy losses of relatively high-ranking forces within the Chromium Carbon Town defenders, they had to rely on Second and Third Level professionals, led by the remaining Fifth Level professionals, to make the most of their numbers advantage. They used their lives to hold and block the enemy's advance, turning into a human meat grinder.

On the other hand, the number of defenders gathered on the city walls of Chromium Carbon Town was increasing.

Their task was to use their available long-range weapons to obstruct the follow-up forces of the Seven Towns Alliance Army as much as possible while also defending the city defense artillery bases, stopping the damage caused by elite enemies breaching inside the city.

After approximately ten minutes, the cannon fodder units of the Seven Towns Alliance Army finally rushed to the base of the city wall under a hail of bullets and began using various climbing gear or anti-gravity devices for close-quarters breaching.

The only consolation was that although the Seven Towns Alliance Army had a large number of personnel, they had not prepared any large-scale siege machinery in advance. They couldn't breach the walls, still relying on sheer manpower tactics, which was, by all accounts, the most practical tactic on Source Star at the moment.
