473. Difficult Times
An old clock in the office was ticking away mechanically. Dozens of government officials were sitting around a desk in a circle, each with a document in front of them, glancing at it every now and then.Government officials sat together, their cups of water still steaming beside them. No one dared to speak first during the entire meeting. Everyone looked somber, their brows furrowed tightly. Not a single one of them had a relaxed expression on their face. The numbers on the documents made it impossible for them to be optimistic.“What’s wrong? Everyone’s stopped talking. Everyone needs to get active and share their thoughts. Otherwise, how can we solve these problems?” Wei Gang spoke up. He was the mayor of Lianshan City, and it wasn’t easy to get everyone here this time.In the aftermath of the disaster, the administrative capacity of various cities and departments has been rapidly improved. Any behavior that harms the people and the country will be severely punished, and the trials
472. Counterattack
A burst of fire from the machine gun fortress easily knocked down dozens of assault beasts on the snow. Many were severely wounded, their bodies twitching. When the soldiers saw the assault beasts twitching on the ground, they promptly fired a bullet, blowing their heads off.The soldiers saw blue and white shells constantly emerging from the snow and bombarding the trenches. A clump of snowflakes flew in through the firing port, affecting the soldiers' vision, but that didn't matter. What worried them was the continuous shelling from the enemy, which gave them a sensory shock."Not enough! Take them out!" The artillery platoon soldiers watched as the assault beasts kept emerging from the snow. The enemy had also learned their lesson and kept their distance. The machine gun bunker could usually only kill one or two assault beasts in a single volley, and in some cases, it could only kill one.The artillery platoon opened the makeshift warehouse set up on the position, laboriously press
471. Storm of Battle
"Gunfire is coming from ahead, follow me!" A squad leader led his soldiers, moving quickly in the trench. The other soldiers observed the movement of the snow outside. Before long, they were hit by enemy artillery fire. Shells pounded into the trench, and the huge roar caused by the shockwaves from the explosions made the soldiers feel uncomfortable.The twin 120mm anti-aircraft guns of the fortress began to move, their muzzles pointing towards the direction from which the shells were coming from the snow, and launched a counterattack. One 120mm shell after another easily shattered the snowflakes, and a large number of assault beasts suddenly launched an attack from within two hundred meters of the trench.The multi-barreled 8.6mm machine guns installed inside the machine gun fortress spewed out long tongues of fire. The 8.6mm full-power bullets shot out from the barrels easily tore apart the assault beasts that rushed out of the snow. The light armor on the assault beasts was comp
470. Calmness
The assault beasts also discovered that the human trench defense system was far larger than they had expected. As for how they discovered it, they had to thank the enemy for a round of artillery fire that blew out their trenches, allowing them to notice and take note, and secretly send a small team of assault beasts to test dig them out.As they had predicted, the human trenches were already enormous, having been dug up to halfway up the mountainside. Had it not been for the snowstorm that forced humans to stop this frenzied digging and expansion, they probably would have blocked the trenches all the way to the starting point.The assault beasts dug around in the snow and found the human trenches. But they also faced another problem: the top of the trench was a steel plate. The engineers had specially chosen a two-centimeter-thick armored steel plate. No matter how hard they dug with their claws, they could only leave white spots and marks.The assault beasts exchanged glances and qu
469. The Silent War
The sound of artillery fire echoed intermittently across the tranquil snowfield, sending snowflakes swirling in the air. The soldiers in the trenches would occasionally stand up to glance at the scene, then return to their crouching positions, rifles in hand, showing no intention of firing. Were they kidding? It was over a kilometer away; what were they going to do firing?!"The mutated beasts are so boring. This has been going on for several days now. Our platoon leader must be losing all his hair by now," a soldier joked. They had been given a strict order to make their platoon leader do everything he could to get them to sleep. Otherwise, if they were still awake by the time they reached their rest stop, the platoon leader would have to write a report explaining the reason, with a minimum of 5,000 words. Just thinking about it made him feel like he was going to die."Make way! We're delivering ammunition, who needs thermal insulation?" The soldiers in the trench heard the sound o
468. Defensive Battle
The north wind howled across the land, carrying snow and ice. Layer upon layer of ice and snow froze all life. Dark, gloomy clouds blocked all the light of the world. The whole world was dark and lifeless, except for the white snow."Dig away this damn snow, or the trenches will collapse!" Under the soldiers' command, one after another, bulldozers piled up as much snow as possible on one side of the trenches and then carried out uniform processing to prevent the snow from being too large and burying them all alive. The trouble caused by the snow was a major headache for everyone.The harsh winter brings snow accumulation, but the most serious problem is the frozen soil. Excessive low temperatures can freeze the soil harder than steel plates. Traditional manual tools can only leave a white dot when hitting the frozen soil. However, when the weather warms up, the seemingly hard frozen soil melts into mud, creating a layer of loose soil that also gives them a headache.The engineering v
