Chapter 228: On the eve of the general attack
The P-star human outpost, which was almost razed to the ground by the Zerg, has now been completely transformed.
Whew——
Whew——
One large transport ship after another and planetary combat ships fell, roughly numbering hundreds, and the engineering troops who rushed down the ships first numbered a few hundred, and they quickly fixed the city defense materials in all corners of the outpost, erected new defensive walls, and then one group after another of mobile troops fell.
There are countless numbers, but it is certain that this is definitely the largest mobilization of mankind since the Battle of Klendasu.
The outpost's range of control has been increased tenfold.
Coordinates: X-006, Y-445......
"A large number of signs of Zerg biological activity have been detected in this area......"
The outpost's communication network was connected to the fleet that detected P-stars outside the atmosphere, and satellite monitoring detected that at a distance of about a dozen kilometers from the outpost, countless worm seas were drilling out of the ground, and they did not attack P-station, but ......
It seems to be killing each other!
"The Zerg will also kill each other internally?"
"But that's just the way it is."
Smack.
The stack of satellite-detected photographs of the ground crashed onto a makeshift conference table in the communications room.
At the top of the table is the senior general of the Institute of Military Strategy-
A middle-aged general with slightly dyed sideburns and a pipe in his mouth, and Karl, who has just been promoted to senior staff officer.
At the bottom of the table, scattered were several fleet commanders and captains of the mobile forces, of course......
As the hero Rui Ge who rushed to the front line of the battlefield, and Sam, the little soldier who survived, they knew the most information, although the level was not enough, but they also sat at the end of the table.
Although it is impossible to accurately image the sky above the insect star due to the protection of the ionosphere, it can also be seen vaguely, those insects are twisted and entangled, and the thermal image on the ground is also green and yellow, which is hot blood......
"I think ......"
"This must be a trap for the Zerg!"
A Marine commander slapped the table with a rough voice and a calm expression.
"yes!"
"Just like Klendasu was at the time......"
"It's better for us to be conservative and attack."
His words were immediately supported by everyone, and the veterans who had participated in the Battle of Klendasu were all a little impressive, and they had become frightened birds, especially after listening to the reports of Rego and the soldier......
Attack the outpost first, then use communications to attract tough guy troops, and then besiege and kill.
With such a wise move, this infighting of the Zerg is clearly another trap, waiting for the Terrans to jump, they are not stupid!
Rego and Sam frowned at the same time.
Although they couldn't tell the Zerg's movements, there must be a reason why the Zerg suddenly gave up the attack in the end, allowing the few dozen people left in the outpost to survive.
"Carl, what do you think?" The middle-aged general sitting in the chief groaned slightly, and after quieting everyone down with his eyes, he turned his head and asked Karl.
Carl first glanced at Brother Rui, Brother Rui pursed his lips, did not look at his eyes, Carl smiled bitterly, and then looked at everyone and said in a deep voice:
"Ladies and gentlemen, the question now is why the Zerg suddenly gave up the siege of the outpost."
"If there is no reason, it may be a trap, but if it is a split within them, we have an opportunity."
"There are too many Zerg, if there is a war of attrition, according to the statistics of the Ministry of Strategy, within 8 years, human society will be dragged down, so find an opportunity to kill their high-level Zerg and kill the root of their wisdom......"
"Hey, what's the use of saying all that?"
"Who can say clearly about the internal affairs of the Zerg? And who pilot in the fleet dared to go to that insect tide to reconnoiter at low altitude? Ha ha! ”
Before Carl could finish speaking, the captains of the mobile forces below whispered, and the captains of the fleet sitting on the upper seat turned pale and clenched their fists in anger, and one of them stood up and said coldly:
"How much materiel does the fleet need to train a qualified pilot? Do you know how much a large ship costs! ”
"According to you, the fleet might as well go home and retire!"
"Hide under your grandma's bed, it's safest there, hahaha!"
Many of the captains of the mobile unit also laughed loudly.
They were at odds with the fleet, especially after the Battle of Klendasu, when the fleet suffered a major blow and air support to the army became less and less.
"Impolite reckless!"
"You know what a!"
“……”
Karl dug his hands deep into the roots of his hair, and looked at the two groups of officers below him who were about to start with a little headache, and his eyes swept to the timer hanging on the wall from time to time......
Finally, when the hand pointed to 13 o'clock—
"Sir, it's about the same time, they should be there." Karl whispered to the middle-aged general who was sitting majestically at the head.
Subsequently, another set of secret coded communication channels were shared with 3D projection.
"This ......"
"This is?!"
The eyes of everyone who were still fighting shifted their attention, and then they let out an unbelievable exclamation in unison!
"Report to Command ......"
"The Roger Young has reached the skies above the target location and is building a reconnaissance orbit...... Estimated time, 3 minutes. ”
On the 3D projection, what is shown is the plot, Rego's ex-girlfriend Carmen, and the senior brother Bacarlo, who made her empathize and say goodbye, saw them maneuvering the starship to the outer orbit of the P star facing the coordinates, and then took a small reconnaissance plane and flew to the low altitude inside the planet.
"As you can see, there is no need to quarrel."
"There are also pilots in the fleet who are as brave as the mobile forces, and in a few minutes, let's wait and see."
The middle-aged general took a deep puff of his cigarette and put his pipe down, smiling with a smile on his chest.
Only then did everyone quiet down, looking at the projection in the middle that had some poor signals because of crossing the ionosphere, only Ruige's face was angry:
"Carl, you're sending her to death!"
With a thud, Rego stood up and grabbed Carl by the collar with two lunges forward.
After this period of firefighting, the Zerg also discovered the power and preciousness of these fleets of the Terrans, and once they found it, they would focus on attacking, so every time the fleet landed, it was detected in advance for a long time, until it was determined that there were no active Zerg around the location, and then they dared to land.
And Carl actually sent her straight to the insect tide?!
"Let go, Sergeant!"
"You're blatantly contradicting the chief!"
Seeing this, the two guards rushed up with an arrow, one on the left and one on the right.
"Don't do that, Brother Rygo."
"This battle is no longer a personal life and death, if I were in her place, I would also die generously!"
Carl shook his head slightly, and after the guards let go of Brother Rui, he said solemnly.
The middle-aged general looked at the two of them with some amusement.
This time, the whole plan was the work of Karl, the young officer, and it didn't stop there, including the two heroic fleet pilots in the projection, which he had only contacted.
It seems that there is now this rather heroic Marine Corps officer, and the heavy responsibility of fighting insects will fall on the heads of this group of young people in the future!
"Look!"
"The picture is out!"
The commotion below interrupted the stalemate, and everyone turned their heads at the same time, looking at the projection with serious expressions!
"Yes......"
"It's that guy!"
Rui Ge pointed to the gradually clear picture in surprise.
The center of the fierce battle between the insects is Tang Xiao! He'd seen it in Klendasu before!
