Chapter 235: Preparing to Retreat
When the time was less than an hour before the scheduled arrival time of the rescue team, it seemed to know that these humans were about to escape, and the insects within the range of everyone's eyes suddenly accelerated violently after a wave of stagnation.
The Battle Bugs have changed from their previous fast march to charging at full speed, completely ignoring the damage caused by colliding with each other after increasing their speed, and the Spitfire Bug and Tank Bug's forward speed has also increased suddenly, even if they trample on other Battle Bugs.
In Zhan Lan's mental power scan, everyone in the Zhongzhou team was stunned to find that these large insects could further increase their speed, and it turned out that it was the battle bugs pushing these large bugs behind, completely ignoring the huge body of the large bugs and crushing the battle bugs into pieces.
"The Zerg are desperate, it seems that the social structure of these bugs is similar to that of Xenomorphs, individual bugs have no self-awareness, but only the overall consciousness of the race, so they can be so fierce and not afraid of death."
"Build two more defensive positions on both sides of the position to further increase the density of firepower......"
"Promote the soldiers who performed well in the battle to non-commissioned officers, and there will be enough soldiers for them to command when they go back anyway!"
"Select from the riflemen with high shooting accuracy, strengthen the sniper and machine gun detachments, and improve the efficiency of shooting."
"Just now, the grenade projectile technology was well gathered, unified command, and formed a fire support detachment."
……
With the orders of Li Xiaoyi and Chu Xuan, the battle line that had been somewhat shaken by the Zerg's large-scale attack was stabilized again, and the nervous mood of the paratroopers was once again calmed down, and they devoted themselves to the battle.
After a sniper detachment and a machine gun detachment teamed up to kill a tank bug in a narrow section, the troops got a short rest, and Chu Xuan immediately arranged for the troops to seize the time to rotate and rest.
Because, the tank worm's body is too large and too strong, when it attacks. Although it can cause huge pressure on the defenders, when it is killed, it also brings great trouble to the Zerg attack.
With its frame, not to mention that the battle bugs can't push it. The fire-breathing insects can't be pushed, even if the fire-breathing insects take the fire, they can't open the road for more than ten minutes, although there are some fighting insects coming around from the hillsides on both sides. However, that amount, in the face of the defensive positions that are waiting for the battle, is not even a drop in the bucket, at most it is a small splash.
"Quartermaster! The sniper detachment rested for 20 minutes, with one first-class supply per person and one for every three people in the machine-gun positions that matched the battle. As Chu Xuan's voice sounded, there were cheers on the sniper position and machine gun position, and there was also praise on the other positions.
The Earth Federation's armies have not fought for too long, and even the related reward system has deteriorated, and it is only reflected in supplies after each battle. In an emergency situation, Chu Xuan could only follow the customs of the locals and directly implement this mechanism in the battle to mobilize the morale of the paratroopers.
"I have to admit that the role of instructors in the army is far beyond their imagination, and our Chinese army has never had the problem of low morale, assigning some people as instructors, and then telling them how to convince the soldiers that they understand the truth that if you work hard, you will live, and if you are desperate, you will die! The army I need is an army without fear of death. That's it......"
This is what Chu Xuan said to Zheng Qi not long ago, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Li Xiaoyi, "Although you have the rank of colonel in the army. But at the same time, I have to say that you know too little about the army," and Wang Xia on the side also cast the same gaze.
"The significance of the squadron instructor is by no means to make the army free of fear of death, because that transcends the natural attributes of man, such an army can only be an army like a beast. The People's Liberation Army is not afraid of death, but knows the meaning of its existence and fighting, and they know that it is in front of the country, the nation, and the people. The death of an individual is insignificant, so they are an army that has overcome the fear of death, and such an army is an invincible army! ”
"The 'instructors' you organize are at most a group of 'instructors', and they are far from the instructors, at least until they can charge at the bugs with shotguns like those 'commandos', instead of running around with rats."
What Li Xiaoyi said was the chaos caused by the tank bugs that suddenly appeared in front of the paratroopers more than an hour ago because of the mental power shielding of other reincarnation squads, although with the cooperation of Zheng Zha and Wang Xia, the tank bugs were finally successfully killed, but also the two fire-breathing bugs successfully reached a distance of 500 meters, and a piece of spider bugs was successfully sprayed near the position, and it was a big mess.
And before the "commando" that had been arranged near the position in advance rushed over and used a shotgun to eliminate the spiders and insects, there was an "instructor" arranged by Chu Xuan to flee first, causing a chain reaction in the position.
"How long will it take for the reinforcements to arrive?" Zheng Zhe asked while sitting on the boulder to rest, although he did not fight too fiercely in the defensive position arranged by Li Xiaoyi, as a representative of the peak of human soldiers' combat power, he has always been active in all parts of the battle line, even if the physical fatigue is not worth mentioning, but the mental pressure cannot be ignored.
"I just contacted the situation of the support space fleet, and it said that dozens of rescue ships have been sent down, which is enough to carry tens of thousands of people...... What a bunch of idiots, if there are really tens of thousands of people pretending to you, do you still need to desperately ask them for help...... In about thirty minutes, the rescue ship will basically be able to enter the atmosphere from outer space, and as for when will we be able to get on the spacecraft...... It's about 30 minutes to 45 minutes, which is a conservative estimate. Chu Xuan introduced the relevant situation, but his words were full of disdain for the top brass of the Earth Federation army.
"Dozens of rescue ships, enough to fit tens of thousands of people...... Combined with the size of the landing craft, I'm afraid that all the ships that came down were empty, these commanders are really idiots, they don't know how to organize a retreat at all, looking for their plan, it will be a disaster at that time, fortunately, there is still time, Zheng Zha, go and find Lieutenant Reich and other officers, whether they can successfully retreat depends on them. And after listening to Chu Xuan's report, Li Xiaoyi was also speechless for a while, in the battle, if defense is a technical job, then retreat is a technical work in a technical job, I didn't see a French veteran who was as strong as Napoleon and more than ten years of conquest, and the process of retreating from Moscow was all the way to rout, just with this bit of armed civilians under his hands, it would definitely collapse!
