Shockwave Chaos Mod - China Campaign Mission 4 HEEEEEEEEEEELP
This mission is perpetual torture.
You start out with a handful of tanks to take out a nearby mini-base, then 1 single dozer to build your own base. No command center, so you can't even get radar. No special units beyond the most basics. NO resources to farm. You get 10k every 5 minutes.
In the meantime, the enemy is sending a constant stream of dozens of toxin bikers and toxin bomb trucks which when detonated, release a poison powerful enough to wipe out full tank columns even with Overlords with fully upgraded speaker towers in about 2 seconds and even kill the mini tanks they spit out too. The most I have been able to do is build 5 nuke cannons to fire in a constant line on the outskirts of the base so that 95% of everything they throw at me dies before it can reach. The other 5% I have a few overlords sitting there waiting for them. But that's literally all I can do. I've tried all I can think of to try to break out but the second I send anything outside of the nuke defense line, the bikes and trucks immediately turn and go STRAIGHT FOR THEM. The furthest I've gotten is to the base of the hill that leads up to the base. I had inferno cannons so I managed to burn down one of their chem bunkers and the palace, but after that the attack quickly died away. I don't even think this mission is hard. I think it's tedious and I just... WANT.... TO BE.... DONE WITH IT! Does anyone know how to get through it?

Update - I was finally able to complete the mission. I had at least 36 battlemaster tanks, probably 10 propaganda trucks, 18 inferno cannons, and a few overlords. I sent them on the warpath and they too managed to punch through and reach the base of the hill, but I noticed momentum was faltering, so I did the single most wreckless thing... I sent in EVERYTHING i had left at the base which included a handful of artillery soldiers 3 or 4 more overlords, and of course my 5 nuke cannons. not to mention I had gotten restocked on funds amidst the attack so i had my 2 war factories cranking out more battlemasters and inferno cannons.
With these fast reinforcements, especially the nuke cannons blasting the enemy defense structures, my forces finally managed to get to the top of the hill and my inferno cannons were able to blow up the scud storm which won the mission for me.

But then the game or should I say mod loads me into China Campaign Mission 5 for the Shockwave Chaos mod... I thought I'd beaten the worst of it... Oh no. Not even close... This new mission is even more unfair than the last in that attacks start immediately, they have a nuke counting down already, and the enemy bikes are able to easily enter from any direction to reach any structure in the base which are scattered to the point where defenses cannot cover them all unless I'd build a set of defenses at each structure which drains money fast which drains power even faster and leaves me with no chance to actually build up a base. I managed to get 2 nuke silos built and an airfield, but none of it amounted to anything. The choppers just prolonged the inevitable and the nukes had to both be used back to back to keep their nuke silo down. Even then, it didn't help since apparently they have access to their entire skill tree and every few minutes would send everything they had to wipe out every single part of my base, even the concealed buildings like the internet center which is supposed to be stealthed, the enemy would just drop a fuel air bomb right on top of it.
Any tips on beating THIS nightmare?
