From the breakthrough in the Honghu area to the final stabilization of the situation, the fierce fighting lasted for a full week. More than thirty tactical nuclear bombs were used on the battlefield, which made Chen Xin once think that the military was planning to use small-yield nuclear weapons to blow up an isolation zone.
In fact, if nuclear bombs can be used to blow up an isolation zone and block alien creatures, the military will not hesitate to do so.
But it is a pity that alien creatures are not so easy to stop. Even if the tunnels dug out are collapsed by nuclear bombs, these guys with enough numbers to scare a few trypophobic guys to death will still attack directly from the ground like a tide. .
The method of blowing up underground passages can only prevent them from bypassing the defense line and sneak attacks from underground.
However, after destroying most of the channels dug by these alien creatures along the underground water layer, their offensive was finally contained.
This may also be because although the alien organisms can catalyze a large number of lower-level protons, the consumption of a large number of protons after the nuclear explosion requires them to be replenished, or it may be because the battle line is lengthened and most of the channels used to transport troops have been destroyed. , the alien creature's offensive is no longer as rapid as it was at the beginning.
Now every defense line is seizing the time to build permanent defenses, in order to seize this slightly relaxing time and build a solid defense line.
Although the defense line had also blocked the fierce attack of alien creatures before, due to the emergency situation at that time, most of the defense lines were temporarily constructed. Even if they were later reinforced, they did not reach the level of permanent fortifications.
This time the war situation has stabilized and the alien creatures' offensive has also eased. The military and senior officials intend to take advantage of this period to strengthen the defense line and improve the overall defense capability, at least so that it can no longer be easily penetrated and broken through.
Because of the need to build the defense line, high-level officials mobilized a large number of laborers from the cities around Dongting Lake. The original cities were demolished or renovated according to different needs, and a large number of people were moved to the rear of the defense line for resettlement. .
It can be said that although the military stabilized the defense line this time, it also blocked the attack of alien creatures, and also thwarted their offensive to bypass the defense line. From a strategic sense, this was a quite successful counterattack.
But again, mankind has lost the entire Dongting Lake area, millions of people in several cities need to be relocated, and industrial and agricultural production capacity has been hugely lost.
In particular, the ecological greenhouse planting area established in the Dongting Lake area has been completely destroyed by alien creatures, which has had a huge impact on food production.
The impact of this incident is not only limited to the Dongting Lake District and surrounding provinces and cities, but also affects the entire southern region.
You must know that before the invasion of alien creatures, the country may have planned to transform the Dongting Lake area into an important food production area in the entire southern region to supply food and vegetable consumption in several surrounding provinces.
But now, it's all over.
If the military and high-level officials had not used nuclear weapons in the end to block the alien creatures attacking the capitals of Hunan and Hubei provinces, the losses would have been even greater.
After all, the provincial capitals of Hunan Province and Hubei Province are the two largest cities in the central and southern regions of the country. They have gathered a large amount of industrial and scientific and technological production capacity. Once they are lost, it will have a huge impact on the country.
Not to mention the millions of people in the two cities combined. Small cities can still be relocated. Any move in such a big city may involve the whole country. It is not easy to relocate or evacuate.
Therefore, all the military can do is to use all means to defend these two cities to prevent them from being invaded by alien creatures.
Fortunately, relying on mankind's ultimate resort, nuclear weapons, they finally held their line of defense.
Now the country can only find new suitable areas to rebuild cities and these production facilities and restore production capacity as soon as possible.
However, the impact of this wave of losses may not be eliminated in a short time. Even if production is restored, it will take at least three or four months, and this has also led to the current shortage of materials in all aspects.
"Chen Xin, these are the supplies allocated this month. Take a look. You need to sign." Tang Tang placed a list of supplies in front of Chen Xin and motioned for him to read it over and sign.
Chen Xin was not surprised. Although Tang Tang was responsible for signing these things in the past, now there is a shortage of materials. The materials allocated to each department must be signed by the person in charge to avoid problems or someone lining their pockets.
Therefore, these documents began to require Chen Xin to sign in person. Fortunately, Tang Tang usually took care of these documents. He only needed to read them once and then sign.
However, this time on the list of supplies Tang Tang brought, the quantity of each item was obviously much less than that of the previous month.
Although Chen Xin doesn't take care of things very much, he is still concerned about the distribution of supplies. After all, Tang Tang only comes to him with a few things every month, so he has some impressions.
This made Chen Xin frown and ask Tang Tang, "Senior, what's going on? Why are there so few supplies this month?"
"The war at the front is tense, so the rear naturally has to tighten supplies." Tang Tang sighed helplessly, pointed at the list on Chen Xinxin's hand and explained: "Because a large amount of supplies have to be transported to the front for the construction of defense lines and various equipment. production, in order to ensure the supply of materials to the front line, the rear area will naturally have to reduce material rations.
We are pretty good here. We occupy the title of titan production and scientific research center. We can apply for more when making reports. Other places do not have such good conditions. Now many places have begun to implement wartime rationing systems.
The supplies I have now are all the ones I spent a lot of energy to secure from above. Otherwise, the supplies we would get this month would be even less. "
After listening to Tang Tang's explanation, Chen Xin shook his head helplessly. Strictly speaking, they were actually on the front line, but after all, they were located behind the defense line. In addition, they were production and scientific research units, although they were also within the scope of ensuring the supply of supplies. within, but it will still be affected to some extent.
Moreover, Chen Xin took a closer look and found that the main reduction was in the food supply such as vegetables and fruits. Materials related to Titan's production, such as steel, were only slightly affected. It can be seen that the country's most severely affected is food production.
Thinking of this, he could only sigh, sign his name on the document, and then said to Tang Tang: "Let Professor Li work harder and get the ecological greenhouse in Dome City up and running as soon as possible. At least we have to ensure the city’s food and vegetable supply.”
