Chapter 4: A Man's Base and Raid

Tianhe 623-08-21. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ć€‚ć€‚ć€‚ The day begins.

Zhang Yunfan has been living alone in this base for more than three months, and in these three months, he has never been on any other mission except for two trips to the supply terminal to pull the missing equipment.

Why did you say that the troops were not replenished, in fact, it is very simple, now the Third Fleet has lost its basic combat capability after the last vicious battle, and is in a period of long-term repair, and the source of high-quality troops is given priority to the front-line combat units, the Third Fleet can only be ranked in the second line, and Zhang Yunfan's 09 sub-fleet is the second line of the second-line troops, and the number of soldiers that can be divided is very small.

And a supply base in Nuoda is not a problem that one or two hundred people can solve at all, and the supply task of the 09 fleet has been shared by the two sub-fleets of 01 and 06, so the Personnel Distribution Department directly transferred the distribution of the 09 sub-fleet to the end. This also led to the fact that in the past three months, Zhang Yunfan has not even seen the shadow of a new recruit.

At six o'clock in the morning, Zhang Yunfan sat up from the bed on time, got dressed, made the bed, and started the preparation activities for the new day.

Because he had no task, after completing the daily training that he had been insisting on since he was a student, he began to count the equipment and materials of the base over and over again.

Although this is an empty shell base, it needs to be equipped with a lot of equipment, and this base has a total of three large transport ships with a load of 400,000 tons, nine 100,000-ton comprehensive supply ships, 27 10,000-ton transport boats, and 72 small landing craft, 4,800 intelligent robots and 500 guard robots.

In addition, there were 5,700 men with equipment and supplies and 400 men with medium weapons.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, when Zhang Yunfan finished counting again and was thinking about what to do next, the alarm bell in the communication room rang.

"It's an emergency communication!" Zhang Yunfan hurriedly ran to the communication room and connected the line.

The communication screen opened, and a dusty lieutenant colonel officer appeared on the big screen, and Zhang Yunfan saluted him, "This is the supply base of the 09 detachment, what is there... ā€

The lieutenant colonel didn't even reply to the military salute, his bloodshot eyes were open, and he said eagerly: "This is the fourth base of the 207th Assault Division, I am Lieutenant Colonel Mars, our base is being attacked by the Zerg, and the supply consumption is serious, so I ask for supplies." ā€

"I'm very sorry, Your Excellency, Lieutenant Colonel." Zhang Yunfan shrugged helplessly, "This base does not have any supply conditions, please contact other supply bases." ā€

"If I could, I would have done it a long time ago!" The lieutenant colonel roared: "The attack started last night, during which it was replenished twice, and now all supply bases continue to take care of the major bases under the serious attrition, and there is no ability to replenish our bases!" ā€

"But..."

"Nothing, Captain," the lieutenant colonel became more and more anxious, "my soldiers are bleeding and dying, I don't care what method you use, I will see your supplies in two hours, please!" After speaking, he ignored the difference between his superiors and subordinates with Zhang Yunfan, and bowed to Zhang Yunfan.

"Okay!" Zhang Yunfan gritted his teeth, "I'll do my best!" ā€

――――――――――――――――――――

Lieutenant Colonel Mars's perspective

Our base was attacked at about 6 p.m. yesterday evening, and not only us, but all the operational bases of the second-line troops were attacked almost simultaneously, and our side was not prepared for anything, which was a major command error, but who would have thought that such a large number of disgusting bugs would appear on a stable rear front?

The first to suffer from the base were the four hundred vigilant robots stationed on the outermost perimeter, which were broken down into a pile of parts by the bugs less than five minutes after the attack, but it also bought us a lot of time to deploy the base's defenses.

After a minute, the base-denial shield began to overload, keeping most of the bugs out, and some of those blocked were wiped out by the ranger patrols on the periphery.

This Scout-like flying bike is fast and agile, making it the best vehicle for dealing with the Zerg Striker's "Ripper" who has no long-range attack and relies only on hard skin and strong tearing force.

"All departments are in place, assemble at the designated location, and the sixth operational order begins." The base kept repeating the top commander of the base, Feng ? Colonel Erwin's wartime instructions, the so-called Operation No. 6, were a series of standardized orders to meet the enemy in the event of a surprise attack on the base. And I, as the deputy of the base, should now stay in the main control room with the adjutant, monitor all aspects of the battlefield, and coordinate and adjust according to the commander's orders.

"Hurry up!" I urged the adjutant to hurry to the main control room, "Report on the situation." ā€

"The Marines are in place!"

"The flying vehicle has been lifted into the air and is ready for battle!"

"Okay, how long will the shield last?"

"Three minutes, the next reboot time is 7 minutes and 36 seconds, and after a maximum of two restarts, the shield will be completely scrapped."

Three minutes later, the Zerg rushed into the defensive shield and hissed towards the base, and in the air, the flying "Scythe" immediately tangled with our aircraft.

In the distance, the Land Cannon Destroyer began to spit their own slime into the base, which exploded in five seconds when exposed to air, and the Destroyer easily spewed slime up to two kilometers away. In this way, the sound of gunshots, explosions, and the hiss of insects mingled and resounded to this day.

"Sir, the Sixth Army Corps, which came to reinforce, was blocked outside the war zone, and the reinforcements were delayed by three hours."

"Sir, the planetary theater reports that the first, third, and sixth bases have also fallen, and the seventh and ninth bases have been evacuated, and now only us and the thirteenth base are left in the outer bases."

The correspondent's report interrupted my thoughts, it was now 4 o'clock in the afternoon, so far, our base has been defended for more than 20 hours, the battle damage has reached 60 percent, the structure has been basically disabled, and only the airfield in the outer positions is still in our hands.

Just ten hours ago, a slime bomb hit the forward command post, killing the base commander and several staff officers on the spot, so I took over the supreme command of the base, and now, once I die, I am afraid that only officers below the rank of second lieutenant will be able to take my post.

"Sir, the airfield is lost! Now only two or three forts outside the main base are still in our hands! ā€

"What?!" It couldn't be worse, "No! The airfield must not be lost, that is the last hope of the brothers, and it must not be lost and taken back immediately! ā€

"The positions of all units are very tight, and I am afraid that the position will be lost if we forcibly draw people, and we may not have the energy to organize another attack!"

"What about those who have stepped down! Fill them up and give them to me! ā€

"No, those three hundred brothers are all dead on the battlefield!"

I frowned, walked out of the main control room without the slightest hesitation, came to the corridor, and shouted, "Follow me to those who can still fight!" ā€

At the end of the sentence, all the lightly wounded stood up, and those who were lying on the ground also struggled to get up. They held each other around and gathered around me, and just then my lieutenant stopped in front of me. "Sir, you can't go, who will command you if something happens!"

"Then I'll be fine!" I pushed him away, and walked out with these lightly wounded men, along the way there were people volunteering to join the team, which was likely to go and never return, and when I reached the exit, there were probably nearly two hundred people gathered around me, and my adjutant held the submachine gun in his hand tightly and looked out nervously.

"Are you afraid?" I asked with a smile. He shook his head awkwardly. "Well done!" I muttered to myself, not knowing whether to tell him or cheer myself up.

At this time, the attack of the insects outside slowed down somewhat, and the Heavenly Scythes and Heavy Destroyers were gone, leaving only a few hundred Rippers still besieging the lone bunker not far away.

I stretched out my hand and pointed to the bunker and said to the adjutant, "You take half of your men to reinforce the bunker, ready to meet us at any time!" ā€

"Yes!" The adjutant simply arrived, and quietly moved towards the pillbox with half of the soldiers.

"For the rest, leave fifty people as reserves, and the rest follow me!"

I moved slowly forward with more than forty people, always feeling a little uneasy, but I didn't know where this feeling came from.

As the team approached the airport, the soft soil around them suddenly burst open, and three Destroyers emerged from the soil, and behind them, countless Rippers swooped out of the caverns, and the Scythes who had been lurking on the cliffs swooped down.

"It's an ambush, go back!" But I knew that it was too late, the people who were with me were knocked down by the scythes one by one, and the insects on the land were getting closer and closer, I saw a scythe in the sky pounce on me, I was not doing any resistance, it was all over, I closed my eyes, and finally the roar of the zerg echoed in my ears......

A sharp pain spread from my chest, and the scythe did not kill me immediately, it picked me on the sharp beak and shook me triumphantly, and at this moment, a laser beam suddenly shot out from the air, shattering the bugs in front of me in an instant.

"Is it reinforcements?" I thought to myself, but there was only a small landing craft in the sky with a large mechanical pod on it. At this time, I suddenly remembered the young captain who was talking to me, was he here? I touched the big hole in my chest, and there was only one sentence left in my heart: "Please!" ā€
