The Plane War Begins from Wandering Earth

Chapter 150 149. Strong Electromagnetic Pulse

Five or six kilometers away from the teleportation point in the eastern suburbs of London, the team saw countless military weapons and equipment piled on the open space on both sides of the road.

The open air has almost become an exhibition hall for various military equipment from the three dimensions of the United Government.

A huge amount of military supplies were just left on the roadside, with no one paying attention.

A layer of light curtain emitting a thin light blue glow can be vaguely seen a hundred meters above the sky.

That was the energy shield set up by the United Government Army for the teleportation point to resist long-range attacks from Cybertron warships and airships.

What is puzzling is that the huge fleet of drones that the coalition government forces are proud of has disappeared.

The airspace over the entire eastern suburbs of London is incredibly clean.

Not only the United Government forces, but even Cybertron's airships and military aircraft were nowhere to be seen.

The fighting here seems to be limited to the ground.

Teams of soldiers hurrying along could be seen everywhere.

"Hey guys, we are from the Gust Group, where should the meeting point be?"

Peter stopped a group of people and started asking questions.

“Not sure, we are from the 76th Marine Division of North America in the second dimension, and we just arrived here.

I suggest you go to the front-line outpost one kilometer to the east and ask..."

After exchanging a few words, the members of the second-dimensional North American Marine Corps hurried away and headed towards the destination of their mission.

Peter and the others had no choice but to rush towards the direction of the front-line outpost mentioned by the other party.

When they arrived near the front-line outpost, everyone found that a sign that read "Temporary Material Allocation Office" had been hung there.

"Ding-ling-ling~Ding-ling-ling"

Various old-fashioned wired telephones kept ringing.

"The 101st Corps of the Eastern United Government Army is running out of supplies and ammunition?
I have arranged manpower to deliver it, let them use it sparingly!

We have a limited number of fuel-powered vehicles..."

“The 102th Division under the 13nd Corps needs to transport the wounded?
Where is the extra transportation capacity to transport your wounded now?

I will contact the logistics department and try to arrange a group of medical soldiers and emergency medicines for you..."

"What? The supplies for the Heavy Guard Division haven't arrived yet?

How is that possible? I arranged for someone to deliver it three hours ago!
Never mind, maybe they died on the way.

Listen, hold on, I will arrange for someone to send you there as soon as possible..."

This converted outpost is filled with the operator's loud, slightly hoarse voice every minute and every second.

A considerable portion of the material allocation to the eastern suburbs of London and even the entire British Isles is carried out here.

An operator had just put down the phone when he spotted Peter and the others, and quickly stood up to ask.

“We are from the Gust Regiment. We received the call-up news and rushed over.

However, network communications are still disconnected and it is temporarily impossible to contact superiors.

So I want to borrow your wired communication to contact my superiors..."

Peter leaned over and pointed at the landline phones that were still ringing.

"The Cybertronians have used powerful electromagnetic pulse weapons, and network communications in most areas of the northern hemisphere have been disabled.

We can't contact your troops here."

The operator explained.

The United Government's massive drone swarms pose a huge threat to Cybertron's air units such as airships, warships, and military aircraft.

Swarms of drones numbering millions or even tens of millions can block out the sky.

The suicide attacks at all costs completely frightened the Cybertronians.

As a result, they had to use powerful electromagnetic pulse weapons that could kill one thousand enemies but damage eight hundred of their own.

This cannot cause any harm to carbon-based life forms or mechanical life forms with targeted protection.

But electronic equipment, communication equipment, and electrical components all suffered.

In the northern hemisphere of the entire Transformers plane, all powered electrical facilities and equipment suffered devastating blows under the attack of powerful electromagnetic pulse waves.

The Cybertron side lost nearly a hundred airships and more than three thousand military aircraft.

This is assuming they have made prior preparations.

The situation on the coalition government side was even more serious, with more than three million suicide drones crashing and shutting down.

The Predator UAV, which has various precision electrical components inside, has turned into scrap metal as the components burn out.

The coalition government actually does not care about the damage to these basic war materials.

This is because there are tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of drones in reserve in the military supplies warehouses of the second dimension.

But the problem is that even if the United Government can transport them to the Transformers dimension as soon as possible.

The aftermath of the strong electromagnetic pulse will continue for the next 7-10 days.

This means that the United Government and Cybertron will lose air force support in the next 7-10 days.

For the coalition government, which possesses the killer strategic weapon "nanoworm warhead", this may not be so difficult to accept.

But soon everyone discovered that the failure of the communication network resulted in the downtime of the joint government forces' combat system.

The various instructions from the United Government's front-line command could not be conveyed to lower-level officers and front-line soldiers in a timely and effective manner.

This is absolutely a devastating blow to the coalition government forces whose military strength currently relies entirely on grassroots military forces.

The United Government had never encountered this problem before. Now, even the logistics department of the United Government in the second plane can transport a large amount of materials into the Transformers plane.

The coalition government forces, having lost their network communication capabilities, also find it difficult to distribute these supplies to the troops that need them in a timely and effective manner.

The coalition government troops, accustomed to modern network communication capabilities, suddenly became deaf and blind.

After losing battlefield instructions from higher authorities, they could only rely on their own judgment and adapt to circumstances on the battlefield.

The troops that can be contacted by wired communications at the London East Suburbs teleport point are only in the surrounding areas.

The proportion of the entire coalition government forces is less than 1%.

Quintessa soon discovered this as well.

Without convenient, efficient, and globally distributed modern network communications, the military deployment and response capabilities of the coalition government forces instantly became slow.

Especially after discovering the teleportation area connecting the two dimensions, located in the eastern suburbs of London in the British Isles.

Quintessa immediately gave the order to assemble her Decepticon army and launch a general attack on the eastern suburbs of London.

The strong electromagnetic interference will last for another 7-10 days. Quintessa's goal is to capture the plane teleportation point area through ground troops during this period.

Completely blockade and cut off the United Government's military supplies that could pose a threat to the Cybertron army.

Once there is no continuous supply of military supplies from other planes.

The coalition government forces, which rely heavily on logistical supplies, will soon be exhausted.

Kuntasha could see this, and the United Government Army Command naturally realized the problem.

Both sides regarded the plane teleportation point located in the eastern suburbs of London as the location of an important decisive battle.

Large numbers of troops and equipment were assembled towards London as quickly as possible.

After a brief explanation, the operator assigned the four-member team another task.

“Well, we are in urgent need of manpower to transport supplies.

It’s too late, and I can’t contact your superiors for the time being.

The 306th Regiment of the Heavy Guard Division urgently needs personnel to transport the combat readiness materials..."

Soon, the four-member team was recruited to transport supplies to the front-line battlefield in the eastern suburbs of London.

The Temporary Materials Allocation Office belongs to the logistics department of the United Government Army and is a direct subordinate unit of the United Government Front Command.

In terms of unit level, it is higher than the Gust Group, a private military group.

Moreover, the task of transporting materials can be said to be the most basic and least difficult task.

The four members of the team had no reason to refuse.

After some preparation, under the guidance of the staff of the Temporary Material Allocation Office, the team got the materials they needed to transport on this trip.

A large box of cardiac stimulants and medical injections.

A large box of nanoworm micro-warheads.

There are two boxes in total, each containing 500 sticks.

In addition, there are two four-wheeled flatbed hand carts.

The moment they saw the two carts, all four members of the team were stunned.

"Are you going to let us walk there?"

"We can't help it. We have all the supplies at this teleportation point, but we lack vehicles to transport them.

In a strong electromagnetic pulse environment, vehicles with many electrical components cannot operate at all.

We can only rely on those old-fashioned fuel-powered vehicles.

The coalition government has already urgently mobilized troops in the second dimension, but it will not be able to meet our transportation needs for the time being.

There were over two million troops in the eastern suburbs of London who needed supplies.

Your target this time is the 306th Regiment of the Heavy Guard Division. It had a full strength of about people, but now it is estimated that less than half of it is left.

These two boxes of supplies are enough..."

Listening to the staff's words, the "veterinarian" began to feel unfair for the 306th Regiment, which he had never met before.

"At least we should send some ammunition over. With only these few supplies..."

“Cardiac stimulants and medical injections are the first aid supplies that take effect most quickly on the battlefield.

Nanoworm micro-warheads are also recognized as the most popular weapons among frontline fighters.

As for other supplies, they can replenish them from the bodies of fallen friendly soldiers.

Conditions are limited now, and we have to rely on the four of you. These two boxes of supplies are the most effective support supplies you can deliver to the 306th Regiment.

Listen, man, if I could, I would airdrop all the weapons, ammunition, and supplies here on them.

But we have to accept reality and get going.

If you deliver the supplies sooner, the 306th Regiment will be able to provide more help."

After saying this, the staff hurried to allocate other supplies.

At this point, the four members of the team looked at each other and could only quickly push the two carts towards the target direction.

On the roads in the area where supplies are piled up around the plane transfer point, the roar of high-powered fuel transport vehicles can be heard from time to time.

Those are vehicles that transport more urgent supplies to support other more important war zones and more important troops.

Peter withdrew his gaze and pushed the cart faster.

He knew that there were only four people in their team who could support the 306th Regiment.
