Chapter 178: Encounter
There aren't many bugs on the Tango Ghost Planet, and there isn't even a single brain worm in charge of commanding here. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's just that this number is not too much, just relative to the Zerg, for the human beings, especially the human motorized infantry who landed on the surface of the planet to fight, the number of insects they faced was still as far as the mountains and seas could not be seen.
If it weren't for the fact that the air forces had carried out a large-scale indiscriminate bombardment before, which greatly consumed the number of bugs, the crisis faced by the motorized infantry would have been much more dangerous.
'Crunch~~Crunch~~' The dull sound of tracks crushing the ground sounded, and several huge infantry fighting vehicles rumbled from the rear. After entering the interstellar age, mankind has basically completely eliminated this pure ground combat equipment. It was not until after the war with the Zerg that it had to be urgently redeployed.
These infantry fighting vehicles loaded with high-powered and high-energy weapons are the core weapons of motorized infantry, and they are powerful enough to deal with any kind of zerg. He even heard from Riko that there is a powerful individual power mecha that is being urgently developed, and once it is put into use, it will gain a crushing advantage over the Zerg.
This is a mech, not an ordinary warframe. However, it is estimated that only those with telepathic abilities will be able to pilot, and it will be at least a few decades before ordinary soldiers want to get a terrifying mech.
Xu Promise sorted out his rifle and followed the large army towards the next suspected Zerg lair. And behind this army, which had thousands of officers and soldiers, the dry ground was covered with an overwhelming number of Zerg corpses.
In the previous Battle of Klandav, the humans used the combat method of directly killing the Zerg lair because they were too light on the enemy. It's a pity that it is taboo for soldiers to go deep alone, if their strength is strong enough, it is fine, but it is the planet Krandauff, the origin of the entire Zerg.
The number of Zerg on the planet Klandaff is so large that its combat power is far beyond the imagination of the human army.
Especially when the Zerg plasma cannon crushed the fleet in space with unprecedented power, the defeat of the demoralized Federation army was inevitable.
It's just that, in fact, on the whole, human beings are still in an advantageous position. After all, after the development of the scientific and technological route to a certain extent, it will completely explode the body flow. Of course, this mainly depends on the extent to which different development routes have been upgraded. At least at this moment, human technology still has an advantage over the Zerg.
Especially when human beings stabilize their mood and go all out.
Promise has been on this planet for two days. There are hundreds of insects that fell under his gun, and other troops don't know, at least he has a lot of fame in this tough guy army. And the infantry thrown into the Tango Ghost Planet is said to be as high as hundreds of thousands.
"Drink some water?" Ruiko, who was already dirty with the power armor on his body, came to Xu Promise's side with a water bottle.
"Hmm." Xu Promise pushed away the mask, and suddenly a wave of heat mixed with a pungent smell surged. The planet's climate is a bit too harsh, or at least promised. After gulping down a whole bottle of pure water, Promise hurriedly pulled down the mask again and armed himself fully.
"You've been doing well lately." Rico didn't promise to be so delicate, and he didn't say he wanted to wear a mask when he was sweating profusely. After taking out a bottle of pure water again, he looked at Xu and promised, "Lieutenant, you may be promoted to non-commissioned officer." ”
"Oh." Promise nodded, noncommittal to it. He didn't think about staying in this world for a long time, so he didn't have the idea of continuing to climb up. But promotion is a good thing after all: "Thank you." ”
"You deserve it." Rico smiled, "You're the soldier in our unit who kills the most bugs. ”
Xu Promise narrowed his eyes, and said in his heart that I hadn't done my best yet, it was just a warm-up.
The differences in the technology of the times are reflected in many aspects, and the guns they use in their hands are one of them.
Although it is also a kinetic weapon, the internal structure has changed dramatically. The miniature integrated munitions have enabled small guns to be equipped with hundreds of rounds of ammunition, greatly enhancing their sustained combat capability.
Moreover, the optimization of the structure and the new metallurgical technology have greatly increased the power of the firearm, at least through the hard shell of the Zerg. Of course, this refers to the softer part of the body, which is the weak point. A truly sturdy shell requires pouring a lot of ammunition to do it.
And being able to accurately hit the soft weaknesses of the Zerg in the fierce and cruel battle requires not only accurate marksmanship but also an unusually calm mental quality. And promise is a powerful being that combines both. Therefore, it is not at all surprising that he was promoted to non-commissioned officer because of his outstanding performance.
"What's next?" Hiding in a power armor with a thermostatic adjustment system, Xu Promise took a sip of the nutrient solution and asked.
"The lieutenant said there was information from above." Riko, who has a good relationship with Lieutenant Resgako, began to explain the current situation: "The zerg on the Tango Ghost Planet have almost been cleaned up. We'll be able to clean up the last few places that might be Zerg nests in the afternoon. At that time, the battle on this side will be temporarily completed. ”
"Good." Xu Promise nodded: "After this battle, it is estimated that you can rest for a while." Xu was stunned as soon as he finished speaking, and then raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead. Fortunately, he didn't say just now that he would go home and get married after this battle. This meme is terrible.
"All of them!" Just as Xu Promise was secretly rejoicing, the sergeant major came to the vicinity and ordered loudly, "Rest for ten minutes and let's go!" ”
------
The planet looks like it was abandoned by the Zerg. Although there are a lot of bugs on it, there are no large-scale deployment of those powerful bugs that can fire plasma cannons.
With no threat, the Federation's powerful air support force has put tremendous pressure on the bugs on the planet's surface, greatly speeding up the removal of bugs.
The sense of promise is very sharp, especially when you are in a dangerous environment. This is the battlefield instinct he has cultivated after fighting in a dangerous environment for a long time.
"Attention everyone." In the early afternoon, the air was unusually hot, and the main force went to a nearby valley to clear a certain zerg nest, and Xu Xu, who had just been promoted to squad leader, was stationed at the entrance to a valley with about a hundred soldiers. As for why it is stationed here, no one knows, it is just an order.
Soldiers are extremely sharp on the battlefield, and the stupid guys are either cannon fodder who just arrived or have already died. As soon as the words of the promise fell, the soldiers around them suddenly entered the combat state, looking around at the battlefield with extreme vigilance.
In the previous battles, the performance of the promise was visible to all, and no one would think that the promise would be untargeted on the battlefield. Sure enough, after a while, there was a rustling sound, and a large group of insects came out of nowhere and appeared in front of everyone.
"Hush." Xu Promise gritted his teeth hatefully.
The insects had come at the right time, as the main force was clearing the Zerg nest in a valley several kilometers away, and the sound of gunfire and explosions and the chirping of insects could be heard clearly from miles away. Now they have less than a hundred soldiers here, and the insects that are running out of the valley in front of them are too dense to count.
What's more, they now only have one infantry fighting vehicle here, and the rest are on the main battlefield several kilometers away. As for air support, the previous wave of attacks was still on the main battlefield, and now the shuttles have returned to the base to replenish ammunition. Don't count on it anytime soon.
Because the Federation unified the earth, the original situation of confrontation between many countries of mankind was replaced by peace. For a long time, the soldiers have not had the baptism of war and there is no real threat in front of them, and their combat capability has declined very badly. The same is true in terms of technique and tactics.
Not to mention the strategic and tactical failures of the Union army, at this time even the simplest continuous fire support on the battlefield cannot be completed, and this is what Promise wants to complain about the most.
Since the ground forces are fighting, and there is no real threat. How can air support also be coherent ****? At all times, there should be fighter planes flying in the sky, ready to deal with unexpected situations at any time.
However, the air units here swarmed up and bombed indiscriminately and then flew away, and this level of technology and tactics was only the level of World War I. Or the level of the Russian army in World War I.
"Prepare for battle!" Lieutenant Resgako, who led the team, gave a loud order, and the infantry fighting vehicle roared to the center core. The high-powered energy cannon loaded on the car opened fire suddenly, and a huge pillar of light flashed, and a fiery light that made people palpitate flashed in the sea of insects in the distance in a very short time.
The light was so bright that even the promise who put down the mask couldn't help but squint his eyes.
A large area of bugs was killed. The core area is almost completely vaporized, and the farther ones around it are coke. To say the least, more than 100 bugs died in the attack. It's a pity that compared to the huge number of Zerg, it's a drop in the bucket.
"Keep fighting, reinforcements have departed!" Lieutenant Risgako's order came from the communicator: "These bugs should be a sneak attack unit preparing to sneak up on our attacking troops from behind. You must hold on to the battle line and never allow them to be released! ”
The planet's surface is uneven and full of hills and hills. Even with the help of infantry fighting vehicles, it would take some time for reinforcements to come from miles away. And that's enough time for these bugs to eat the hundreds of motorized infantry.
"Sister, I can only fight." If you think about it, you'll be treated as a deserter, but this is an alien planet. Promise doesn't think his teleportation will be able to return to the spaceship directly from the planet's surface. After calculating the comparison of strength between the two sides, Xu Yu shook his head and shouted suddenly: "Fire!" (To be continued.) )
