Chapter 15: The Defense of the Heights
Lying in the armored car and resting for a while, Hicks fell asleep because of his injuries, he closed his eyes and recuperated, and after a while, he suddenly couldn't hear the gunfire outside, his heart moved, and he pushed open the door to see that there was indeed a ceasefire, and there was no living alien at the gate of the base.
Aliens are originally creatures with a certain amount of intelligence, and it is impossible to continue to send them to death knowing that they can't be defeated, so now they either withdraw first or bypass from other places.
"Withdraw first and go to the high ground!"
Captain Apeng glanced at the gate of the base, waved his hand, and ordered everyone to evacuate first.
Let one armored car take the lead, and the other members sit on top of the armored car, and the team begins to evacuate outside.
Sure enough, before they could evacuate far, aliens began to drill out from some exits and the like in other parts of the base, and pitch-black aliens began to drill out from exits or gaps, all of which were left by the people who had colonized the base before, and God knows how they made so many holes in the base.
Captain Apeng immediately ordered the armored car to speed up and leave here.
The car is still faster than the alien, even if the alien speed is several times that of ordinary people, it can't outrun the armored car, three armored vehicles rushed out of the base along the muddy dirt road, and came to a high ground a hundred meters outside the base, three armored vehicles stopped on the high ground, turned the direction and aimed at the gate of the base.
As soon as he got out of the car, the voice of the captain Apeng immediately sounded, and he loudly ordered the team to defend:
"Hurry up and get ready for battle, Drake, three o'clock, Gasquez, Crowe six o'clock, razor, muscle man, seven...."
Every time an order was given, someone responded loudly, indicating that they had heard it.
When everyone had a task, Li Qing didn't hear his own arrangement, so he quickly jumped out of the car and walked to Ah Peng and saluted:
"Captain, I can still fight!"
After speaking, he stretched his limbs a few times, indicating that he was very healthy.
Ah Peng just looked at him fixedly, reached out and patted him on the back of the shoulder a few times, then pointed to the side of the armored combat vehicle and said:
"Private rage, seven o'clock!"
"Yes!"
He immediately agreed, and walked to the side of an armored combat vehicle on the far right.
Not the front position, but the second staircase, and it was obvious that the wounds left by his previous fight with the alien made Ah Peng have some scruples and did not let him go to the front row.
Li Qing was happy to be like this, it was very safe in this position, because when the alien came out of the base, the first thing to face was not his direction, and he didn't have to face the most violent impact. Besides, if he wants, he can rush forward in the middle of the battle to fight the rushing aliens, and if he encounters danger, he can also retreat.
Other reincarnators don't have such a good treatment as him, he has this treatment in melee among all reincarnators, and the others are at the forefront of the front, and they can't retreat casually without the captain's order, and they can leave their teammates behind on the battlefield, but they may be subject to battlefield discipline.
To put it simply, he was shot on the spot by the Warlords.
When the alien rushed to a distance of about thirty meters from the temporary position, the captain Ah Peng waved his hand fiercely and gave the order to open fire.
In an instant, more than 20 pulse rifles and seven pulse machine guns fired at the same time, and the crossfire formed a barrage, tearing the nearest group of aliens to pieces on the spot.
I don't know how many households there were in this colonial base at that time, according to the information, there were only sixty or seventy households, but the black and oppressive alien in front of me was more than sixty or seventy households. But considering the usual style of the capitalists, such a thing as concealing quantities is nothing at all.
Dense aliens rushed out of the base, and the pitch-black body was not obvious under the gloomy sky, and it was absolutely difficult to spot it in advance if it met one alone outside.
However, the alien who was originally good at assassinating in the shadows gave up his advantage, and such a horde of shock thermal weapons battle phalanx, didn't he die fast enough?
Looking at the aliens who came up one after another to send them to death, Li Qing had an extremely strange idea, these aliens seemed to be here to send them to death.
Of course, it's not that the aliens themselves want to die, but that there is an invisible force that drives these aliens to send them to death.
Even if it was an order from the Alien Queen, it would be impossible to issue such an order that was contrary to racial habits, and it could only be said that even the Alien Queen was affected.
It was just a guess, and he couldn't come up with evidence to prove it, and with the limited information he couldn't understand what was going on.
"But that's a good thing, the alien is dead outside, so we have a chance.... Wait a minute! ”
Li Qing suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of something.
"It can't be that the space forces are deliberately pushing to let these aliens come to their deaths, reducing the number of aliens in the base, so that we can have a chance to attack the base, right?"
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this guess was the closest to possibility, it happened that the aliens were attacking frantically against the habits of the race, it happened that there were too many aliens, and it happened that their main mission was to go deep into the alien lair to destroy the lair and kill the alien queen, if they didn't kill most of the aliens, it would be impossible for them to rush into the alien lair inside the base.
But if they rely on combat ships in outer space to destroy the base, which defeats the purpose of space to let them enter the mission world for adventure, and directly blow up the entire planet with a terrifying bomb, then they don't need to call this mission at all, they don't need to fight with the aliens, they just need to convince the operation commander.
The commander of this operation was William. Lieutenant Gorman, but in fact it has always been Captain Apon in command.
In the movie, there can be a rookie who commands everyone to destroy the whole process, but in reality, this kind of thing is impossible to happen, although the military rank Gorman is the highest, but he is only a rookie officer, a rookie who has never been on the battlefield, it is impossible to get the supreme command, the supreme command is in the hands of Captain Apeng, and Lieutenant Goleman watched and studied the whole process.
That's right, he has been following and learning on armored vehicles, if commanding, increasing experience in real combat, and that's it.
In fact, from entering the mission world, many of them are different from the movies, the base is much larger, the armored combat vehicles are equipped with weapons, and the aircraft are not destroyed by the aliens.
In the movie, it is unbelievable that a flying machine lands on an alien planet that is clearly marked as dangerous, and the gate is left open all the way without being guarded.
In fact, the gate was closed after the aircraft dropped three armored combat vehicles, and it is impossible for the gate to be open all the way and there is no one to guard it, don't forget anything, there will be no such mistake in the army.
So at the beginning, there were veterans on the ship who suggested whether to save the aircraft and see if they could trigger the side quests, which was purely thinking too much.
Just like the sudden side quest to save the little girl Newt triggered in the base, it was a trap, and the little girl must have been parasitized by the alien a long time ago.
