The battle in Area C is still in full swing, with the Marines' various caliber spikes firing at each other with the more dense bone spikes that were fired by the monsters.
Every second, countless snake-like insects were torn into pieces of broken pieces of meat by the bullets of the extremely high-speed stinging electromagnetic rifle. Countless red and green blood, body fluids, and venom almost stirred the entire collapsed area into a flesh-and-blooded country of flesh and blood piled up by blood and flesh mud and insect corpses.
At the same time, every time the Marines attacked, there would always be a few unlucky guys who were suddenly nailed to the weak parts of the armor by the bone spurs, and then screamed and dropped their rifles and rolled to the ground under the toxic damage of the bone spurs, or some turned around and ran away, trying to run to the barracks to seek treatment for professional medical equipment?
Unfortunately, they often get nailed to the back by more bone spurs without taking a few steps, and then quickly fall to the ground and can no longer move...
"Damn it! What's going on with the tank troops? Fire up and fire, we need artillery support! More support!!!"
After risking to get up and drain a magazine, Garen had to retract the rock and call for long-range artillery support from the tank troops again.
Now, because of the sudden shooting of Garen's shoulders and head, several bites of nails were bitten by the bone spurs!
Fortunately, the armor in these important parts is relatively thick, almost forty or fifty millimeters thick, and those bone spurs can only be nailed less than thirty millimeters into this steel armor, and they are successfully blocked.
At this time, when Garen put away the deck on his helmet, he was surprised to find that the high-strength bulletproof glass shield on his head was actually pierced by a bone spur? The long bone spur with a faint blue-green light was inserted into half a piece and nailed to the mask. After it was inserted into the glass, it happened to be blocked by the deck that had just been put down?
After looking at the sharp direction of the bone spur and facing his eyebrows, Garen swallowed, then raised his hand with lingering fear, intending to pull it off.
If I hadn't put down the armor plate in my helmet according to the standard combat process during the battle, I'm afraid that now I would have been killed by this bone arrow piercing my eyebrows?
"Stop it, Garen! I advise you not to do that!"
When Garen's mechanical arm slowly grabbed the bone spur and was about to force it out, after seeing it, Dryus next to him quickly spoke up and dissuaded.
"Once you pull it out, you're dead! There are a lot of toxic corrosive steam in the atmosphere of this planet. The right way you do now is to ignore it. At the same time, it's best to slightly increase the air pressure circulating inside your armored power suit."
After saying that, Drayus also pointed to his helmet, and a trace of tiny white gas was leaking out of his own mask. When the air with water vapor leaked out and came into contact with the low temperature environment on the planet's night, it turned into these white water vapor.
Like Garen, at this time, Drayus' head and shoulders were also densely covered with ferocious and sharp slender bone spurs, and even three of the four search lights on his chest and next to his helmet were broken!
The high-strength bulletproof glass shield on his face even pierced two bone spurs. Like Garen, they were fortunately blocked by the armor plate and stuck tightly and lost their kinetic energy.
Now, Dryus felt that both of them should actually feel grateful, because these bone spurs did not break the glass shield, but were just stuck in tightly with the glass, although they were a little leaking now.
However, after he increased the air pressure in the armor as soon as possible, the poisonous gas from the outside could not enter under the influence of the internal high air pressure. The air tanks carried by his armor-powered combat suits, at the current leakage rate, will at least several hours pass by when they are almost leaking? By then, regardless of the outcome, the battle will end, right?
"Oh! Yes... OK, thank you for your reminder, man!"
Garen, who was stunned for a moment, finally realized that he had almost done something stupid, quickly stopped carefully and increased the air pressure of his armor circulation as soon as possible.
He finally remembered that on this planet, the external air pressure here is about 1.2 times the standard atmospheric pressure of the earth?
So, it only needs to increase the air pressure of the internal circulation environment to 1.3 times or more of the standard earth's atmospheric pressure, so that no poisonous gas can leak from the edges of bone spurs and glass, right?
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Eight consecutive 120mm arc shock cannon shells attacked again and instantly plowed into the formation of snake-like insects that fired bone spurs.
Finally, after the Marines on the second line of defense were suppressed by the continuous gushing of snake-like monsters and almost couldn't raise their heads, and suffered heavy casualties, the tank troops, who didn't know what chaos had happened, started fire again in time.
The shells were endless, and one after another, a long-range 120mm large-caliber electromagnetic shell was roaring and rushed towards the dense snake-moving monster formations that were constantly firing bone spurs on the landing corps' defense line and approaching the past. The explosion, flames, smoke, shock waves, as well as splashing gravel and steel balls instantly blocked the attacks launched by the insects again.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The long-range artillery bombing continued, and the Marines could finally breathe a sigh of relief and calmly exposed their heads to shoot the worms that were leaking under the artillery fire.
Countless insects that jumped out of the cave entrance were once again attacked by human terrifying artillery fire, and under the metal storm of the Marines who had recovered from their breath, they had to be beaten back again...
When more than a minute passed, when the artillery fire of the tank troops temporarily stopped, on the battlefield of human insects covered with smoke and blood, except for the occasional few scattered insects who were running around were killed by sporadic gunfire, there was no more movable insects outside the cave entrance and on the ground.
"it's over?"
"Maybe..."
“…”
Looking at the chaotic battlefield where fires were exploding, lying with insects and human marines, the chaotic battlefield mixed with blood of humans and insects, and the surrounding rocks and grounds covered with bullet holes, or like hedgehogs, all the marines who could breathe could not help but start to fall silent.
To everyone's surprise, this night attack launched by the bugs tonight was so fierce when the human side was prepared?
They were a Marine Corps with hundreds of people, hundreds of shotguns or electromagnetic rifles of various calibers. They even suffered such great casualties when they predicted the enemy situation in advance and prepared all their preparations?
The interested people among them all glanced at the radar in the lower right corner of their respective panels. On the display interface, they could clearly see that the green highlights belonging to the friendly side were at least one-third less than before. The life signal was extinguished, and they were all dead, right?
In just less than an hour of battle, hundreds of their Marines had lost one-third, nearly more than two hundred people?
Although there are only more bugs that are killed by them, and there may even be more than tens of thousands, but...
This lost nearly 200 companions at once, which still made them feel a little unacceptable. This level of casualties was really too high for them!
After all, the entire Hope colonial spacecraft still in orbit has a total of less than 140,000 people. Apart from the elderly, weak, unsuitable for the battlefield, and other men and women of the right age who must be recruited by Hope, it is estimated that there are less than 30,000 to 40,000, right?
“…”
After the roaring fire and explosion stopped, not only did there be no sound on this side of humans, but even the insects seemed to have stopped. Except for the harsh hissings of insects in the cave, there were no more moving figures on the ground.
"Hey, Dryus? Do those bugs dare not rush up?"
Looking at the battlefield in Area C, filled with various broken bug corpses that were shot or killed, Garen stood up and looked for a while, and asked Dryus aside with some uncertainty.
Now, he looked around and saw that in addition to the thick layer of broken corpses that fell on the road of the insects' charge, at the entrance of the cave cave in the collapsed area more than 300 meters away, the corpses of the insects were like a hill, directly piled up the entire cave by more than ten meters, just like a bulging entrance to an ant hole?
Just now, when the tank troops were in chaos, the insects carried out a third wave of charge again. They were as if they were diving directly from the insect mountain. The hills of insect corpses not only had a certain impact on the Marines' shooting, but also slightly accelerated their charge speed.
"I don't know, I hope..."
Da da da da da!!
While answering Garen's question, Dryus fired impatiently and used his electromagnetic rifle that had been red from the barrel of the gun to shoot a four-legged bug monster trying to drill out of the pile of corpses several times, making the other party completely turn into a part of the blood of the corpse.
"Then why don't they rush out now? Is it because they die too many times, so they are afraid?"
Looking at the corpses piled up in the battlefield, Garen felt that his guess should be quite reliable.
Those bugs, as they have seen, have lost at least tens of thousands of dollars, right? Are they not ready to retreat yet?
If the attacking side was replaced by them, and so many troops were killed or injured in such a short period of time, they would probably have collapsed early in the morning, right?
He is a little confused about these bugs now. Are they brainless? Or are they desperate for life when they fight?
Or maybe their ethnic groups are too many, so they don’t care about the casualties? Want to use endless seas of insects to directly flood the ground base of human beings and completely drive human beings out of their planet?
After thinking about it, Garen still couldn't figure out what the bugs were going on, so he could only throw down the C-15 spike electromagnetic rifle with the same barrel of the gun in his hand, and draw a new electromagnetic rifle from a equip box on the second line of defense from which SCV engineers were transported here, and a new electromagnetic rifle was drawn from a row of neat and brand new rifles.
Fortunately, they humans had already prepared for this. At the second line of defense, when preparing for the defense, SCV engineering vehicles transported a large number of weapons and ammunition box resettlement points from the barracks with the ability to manufacture light weapons.
On the ground around the Marines' defense line, in the equipment boxes, rows of neat new electromagnetic rifles and a large number of full magazines were placed, enough to ensure that the soldiers could continue this high-intensity defensive battle.
Generally speaking, after the barrel of a weapon is overloaded, it is easy to explode or affect the shooting accuracy. The correct way to deal with it should be to directly replace the barrel parts.
However, the battle situation is urgent now, and they don’t have time to replace parts for those troublesome weapons. Moreover, in this interstellar era, the manufacturing industry is extremely developed, and humans are not short of the metal resources for manufacturing rifles, so it is more reliable to just replace a new one.
Anyway, if the barrel is red, throw it directly into the ground. After the new gun in your hand is red, the ones you threw before will probably have cooled down. Then, can they pick it up and continue to use it?
"I don't know! Or, you go over and see the situation yourself?"
Dryus glanced at Garen angrily, then imitated the other party and threw down the weapon that was a bit overloaded in his hand.
Then, he dragged his heavy steps and was a little tired to control the armored power suit. He walked over and randomly selected a brand new electromagnetic rifle from the equipment box that he liked. He also picked up a full magazine box and walked back to his hidden position just now.
Dryus felt that in the past half hour today, he had almost fired tens of thousands of bullets. He was always plugged in a magazine and pulled the trigger without moving until the bullet was fired. During this period, the weapon was surprisingly not having much problem, which shows that the quality of UPL's military products is excellent.
"Uh... then forget it."
Garen is not stupid, how could he run to the entrance of the cave to observe the situation? If the insects suddenly rushed out, he would not even have a chance to escape!
"This is……"
Inside the command center, Commander Doug and other military personnel were staring at a picture and tracing their minds.
It turned out that after the swarm was suppressed by artillery fire again, they sent a small drone to remotely control it into the slanted downward crypt and saw the situation inside: the huge mammoth bug was moving slowly in the cave just enough for it to walk.
Hiss!!
Suddenly, a snake-shaped bug discovered the human reconnaissance aircraft. After it screamed, countless bone spurs shot towards the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft at the top of the cave, instantly interrupting the reconnaissance image.
"All Marines are careful! The big-sized mammoth bug on the other side is about to crawl out of that crypt, be careful!"
At this time, Commander Doug's voice sounded from everyone's channel in the base command center again.
In fact, there is no need to remind Doug that all the Marines can now vaguely feel the vibration on the ground.
Then, they unconsciously remembered the terrifying creature still lying on the beach, burning to the point where only a huge skeleton was left.
“…”
Now, something big is going to happen!
After looking at each other, Garen and Dryus, the captain and lieutenant commanders of the two Marines, saw a hint of fear in each other's eyes.
Now, the two types of monsters, the size of calfs and snakes, which are as big as long-range shooting ability, have already made their simple defense line difficult and they are in a difficult situation!
Now, if one or two more terrifying and huge creatures that appeared a few days ago appeared from the cave, then their current line of defense would probably be destroyed by the other party in an instant?
"Tank troops are ready to support us at any time!"
Dryus asked for support from the siege tanks near the command center of the rear base immediately.
The battle when landing a few days ago has proved that the Marines' light weapons are useless to monsters with huge size and thick armor!
So, he, Drayus, now only hopes that the 120mm arc shock cannon of their tanks can break through the horny armor that is as thick as armor on the other side? Of course, he also hopes that the gunners of those tanks can hit a little more accurately?
"By the way, where is Anne? Where are you? We need your support now!"
At this time, Galen immediately remembered the situation when Little Anne burned the huge monster with a fire, so he immediately called on the other party.
In his opinion, if little Annie takes action against the big monster that is about to appear again, they won’t be able to continue to persevere?
"Here, come, we'll be here soon! What are you anxious about?"
Little Annie's grumble in dissatisfaction and her excitement at the big monster that was about to appear finally rang in the channel.
"By the way, has that big monster come out?"
She had just gone to the command center of the base for a walk, and used her tank gun to help cut off three flying bugs.
After actual shooting, Annie now feels that the 80mm double-barrel cannon of this tank is indeed much more powerful than her 20mm sniper rifle. Although her rifle can easily deal with flying insects without too high armor, where is the small caliber of the rifle so satisfying to come?
Under her direct aiming and shelling, no matter how fast the insects fly, she can predict the other party's position with her spirit, and then just shoot them over and you can directly tell the other party that they are smashed into pieces!
Tank guns hit flying insects, for Little Annie, it’s simply too simple!
As long as you know the flight method of the shell, and lock the enemy's position in the air, then count a little prediction and add the time when the shells fly, you must be sure to hit each shot and be sure to be accurate!
She couldn't understand why the eight tanks were chased by three big bugs and ran around the ground? They were really a group of stupid guys! The flying insects were not flying high, so the eight tanks raised their muzzles and aimed at them. Even if they couldn't shoot one at a time, there were always times when they were right, right?
"Annie, come and support it quickly! It is coming out soon!!!"
Garen started shouting anxiously on the channel again.
Because, he found that at the entrance of the huge cave in the distance, the corpse of the insect was moving. It must be that huge monster. It was about to crawl out of the cave, right?
"Damn..."
Sure enough, it came out!
Now, Galen had clearly seen the huge bone sickle of the other party!
Soon, after the huge monster came out, it took a random slash, and in just two strokes, it directly dispersed the corpses of insects like hills piled up near the cave, and soon cleared a slightly smooth passage near the entrance of the cave.
roar!!!
I don't know if this huge monster was stimulated by a large number of insect corpses and blood, so when it crawled out of the hole, it roared loudly.
After a while, it began to angrily use the two pairs of huge bone sickles in front of it to constantly wave the corpses of the insects around it, and splashed the corpses of the insects and corrosive blood everywhere. Some even flew over a distance of more than 300 meters, causing considerable chaos to the Marines on the defense line.
Not long after, it suddenly emptied most of the corpses near the entrance of the cave, and exposed the dense swarms of insects that followed it, still in the tilted cave, mixed with four-legged and non-legged ones.
"Oh, now it's a big trouble..."
Seeing this situation, even Dryus, who never knew what fear was, felt that they might have to face the biggest big trouble tonight this time?
"Here, come!"
As soon as Drius's emotion fell, the clear voice of Little Anne continued to sound in the channel.
"Ahhh! I've seen that big bug, don't rob it, it's mine!"
In the distance, when Garen was about to say something, a red-painted tank was running wildly at high speed, bringing a stream of smoke and dust in the darkness, and running towards Area C.
Then, while driving at high speed, little Annie turned the two 80mm double-barrel cannons of the tank and aimed directly at the head of the big guy roaring wildly.
Boom! Boom!
Two consecutive roars of cannons sounded, and the tank driven by Little Annie accurately hit the monster's huge head while driving at high speed.
Roar!!!
Naturally, the monster roared in pain at the first moment.
After the explosion, everyone could clearly see that the monster's ugly head, covered with sharp teeth and bone horns, had been almost broken by two cannons?
Boom! Boom!
Just one second later, two more cannons were fired, and two shells roared on the bone armor of the monster's lowered head, and two more pits were blown out.
Unfortunately, the vitality of this insect is extremely tenacious. In addition to the shelling that hit its mouth at the beginning, it lost a little damage, like the two subsequent cannons, the shelling attack on its thick bone armor can only cause it to suffer a little damage and become more violent, and it cannot directly kill it.
roar!!!
With another roar of the giant monster, it began to move forward and run towards the human marines' defense line.
The bugs in the cave behind it also screamed at the same time, like a group of small ants, and began to rush behind the huge monster.
Da da da da da!!!
Without the commander's order, all the Marines were the first to shoot when they saw this situation.
From the muzzles that were spraying flames, countless nail bullets shot at the swarm of insects again like endless metal storms.
"Damn it! Everyone, aim at those little bugs and fire! Don't worry about that big guy!"
When Garen saw the monster start charging, he also started to fire immediately.
However, when he discovered that the others actually ignored the small insects following the big monster and unconsciously raised the gun and swept the huge monsters and wasting bullets, he finally couldn't help but shout loudly in the channel.
A few days ago, they had used dozens of fresh lives to prove that their Marines' light weapons could not effectively damage the monster with thick horny armor and thick skin and rough flesh.
Dada dada...
Whoosh swish swish swish...
"Shoot those little bugs quickly! Don't panic!"
At this time, on the battlefield, the sound of the Marines' rifles firing, the low sound of the serpentines firing bone spurs that cut through the air, and the shouts of the commanders on the front line sounded mixed together.
Every moment, there are always unlucky Marines who are hit by bone spurs and fall down. At the same time, more bugs are also smashed into pieces of minced meat or ragged fleshy pockets by metal storm-like nail bullets.
However, they still rushed forward and followed the huge monster, charging forward one after another.
boom!!!
Suddenly, a huge artillery shell exploded directly at the fragile joint of the huge monster's elbow, making its thick scales unable to withstand the huge damage of the 120mm siege shock cannon, and was directly blown up and cracked, revealing the muscles and bloody muscles inside.
Roar!!!
This shell was really too tricky, but it hit the weak part of its legs?
Then, the huge monster's body, which was still charging, tilted and fell directly to the ground after one leg was injured. At the same time, it also raised its head, which was originally low and protected by the thick bone armor on its back.
boom!!!
Another 120mm arc shock cannon accurately hit its ugly head that was raised high. The powerful 120mm siege shell directly drilled into its chin, and instantly blew its unprotected head into a pile of ragged pieces...
Bang!!!
Finally, the monster's roar stopped abruptly. Its bulky body, which was originally trying to struggle to get up, finally fell on the ground weakly. After flattening a bunch of insects passing by, it was silent...
"Haha! It's really useless. It was solved in just two shots?!"
In the channel, the unscrupulous laughter came again.
It turned out that it was just now. After discovering that the tank's 80mm double-barrel cannon was not very powerful, Xiao Annie immediately switched to the siege mode.
Then, when the monsters ran for more than half of the distance, before the Marines were about to collapse, her attack finally arrived in time. Just two attacks in three seconds allowed a huge monster to be killed, and at the same time, the insects lost their greatest support!
Dada dada...
"Don't stop others! Keep attacking!"
Dryus and Garen were still shouting loudly on the channel to the Marines who were stunned after seeing the monster die.
At this moment, even though the big monster leading the team to charge had died, the big dogs or snake-like insects still climbed up the corpse that was lying on the ground and blocking the road, and continued to charge towards their human positions. Even the huge corpse of the monster successfully covered the insects behind it, greatly shortening their charge distance.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Shortly after Little Annie bombarded the monster, the eight tanks that had been reorganized in the rear and adjusted the shooting of Zhuyuan, and once again fired their 120mm arc shock guns at the insect swarm, once again stopping the momentum of the insect swarm's charge in time.
Originally, they were actually planning to bombard the huge bug.
But unexpectedly, before they had calculated the shelling data, the other party was knocked down? So, they had to hurry to shoot the little bugs and use artillery fire to block their charge.
"Hahaha... boys, your Captain Planck is here! Pay attention to protecting me! Otherwise...uh!"
Suddenly, in everyone's channel, a voice Garen was most reluctant to hear, and then, sure enough, the other party burped a big hiccup?
No need to think about it, this should be what Commander Doug said before: Captain Planck, who drove a transport spacecraft to play a temporary guest appearance in the bomber!
Now, he was finally transporting a large modified fuel tank and dived from above the altitude to fly down at high speed to the battlefield in the C area of ​​the base.
"Hahaha... Alien bugs, your booking express has arrived! Remember, you must give Mr. Planck a good review!"
As the transport ship passed over the cave at high speed, its belly door suddenly opened.
Then, a huge, almost four siege tanks, which were as big as the size of a large combustion tank, fell into the huge hole. After making a loud noise and flattening a push of the bug, it rolled directly into the tilted cave with the huge inertial kinetic energy brought to it by the spacecraft...
Then, the armored transport spacecraft with the load was thrown away, and under the control of Captain Planck, he suddenly raised the bow of the ship and rushed straight up to the sky.
"Babys, don't say that Mr. Planck hasn't warned you. Now, you'd better find a place to lie down and hide it immediately, otherwise, hum..."
Chapter completed!
