Chapter 37: The Battle of Aha (Part II)
At 3 a.m. on May 31, 2115 A.M., the revenge against Aha finally came to an end. Nearly 200,000 marines www.biquge.info all landed, and after repelling more than ten attacks by the Zerg, they established their own defensive positions.
Despite the extreme confusion of command at the beginning of the campaign, Colonel Carr considered the operation to be very successful. The strategic points on Aha have been reclaimed, and the Zerg's resistance is not an effective threat, and he believes that victory can be declared.
A captain walked briskly into the command room, went straight to Colonel Karl's seat, bent down, and whispered in his ear.
"showtime!" With a smug smile on the corner of his mouth, Karl stood up from the command seat and said to the busy officers in the command room, "I'm going to inspect the planet Ah, and I'll leave it to you." With that, he turned and walked away with the captain.
The officers stared blankly at each other, wondering what the commander was doing at this moment when he left his work and ran to the surface of the planet.
"What a mess!" A major staff officer angrily threw the document that needed to be signed by the commander onto the command seat, and scolded: "I don't know what he is thinking in his head? The command ability is simply 0, leave us to wipe his ass! "
"What can he think about is not his dream of being presidential, and he is bent on political development." Another major staff officer said in a strange way.
"Hey, do you know what he's doing on Ahma?" There was no chief in the command room, and it immediately became a gossip lounge.
"What are you doing?" Everyone couldn't help but ask.
"I heard that before the fleet departed, Karl invited a reporter from the federal television station to entertain them in the officer's cabin of the flagship, and he probably took them with him at this time, so that he could be exposed more in front of the people."
There was boos in the command room, and the officers all laughed and slacked off.
Olga is intensively carrying out night defense deployment in the 25th mine area of Ahhaxing. After her hard search, she finally gathered nearly 500 soldiers of the 669 Wing, and all of them arrived at the designated position of the plan.
The command during the day was chaotic, but the battle went surprisingly smoothly, and the soldiers suffered almost no losses. Now she's building a ring defense system in the mine, relying on a giant all-terrain tank.
"Captain!" The driver, Lieutenant O'Neill, poked his head out of the cockpit of the tank, pointed to the communication system on her helmet, and said: "Commander Colonel Karl wants to contact you!" "
"Carl? What's the matter with him at this time? Oddly connected to the communication, Olga asked, "Carl, is that you?" "
"You should call me sir, I'm the commander of the fleet now." Carl's official voice came from the other end of the radio, making Olga feel sick.
She really wanted to say that you were just a substitute, but now was a very important time, so she had to hold back and ask, "Sir, is there anything wrong with you?" "
"How's it going in your district? Are there any Zerg appearances? "
"I was about to report this, and after fighting day and night, now that the Zerg is gone, I think it's unusual."
"That's nothing, it's all wiped out, don't be so nervous. I am now accompanying the reporters of the television station, who are very interested when they know that there is a beautiful female captain on the ground. We'll land at your place soon, get ready, Olga, you're going to be on TV, hehe. "
"But, sir," Oga was a little confused, not knowing what Karl was up to, "the soldiers have been fighting for a day, and I am arranging for them to rest in shifts, and you are here to affect them. "
"Rest what! Tell them all to get up! Be mental, you can't be too merciful to those hooligan lazy people. Carl hung up the radio with that.
Olgar had no choice but to sigh and said to O'Neill, "Let the team prepare, the commander is coming." "…,
"What!" O'Neill asked incredulously, "The whereabouts of the Zerg are still unknown, why did he run down?" "
"To be on TV!" Olga replied angrily.
Ten minutes later, a high-class and comfortable transport plane landed in Olga's position, and Colonel Karl, dressed in a brand new combat uniform, strode out of the cabin. Behind him were three war correspondents, carrying camera equipment and satellite transmitters, looking at everything on Aha with excitement on their faces.
"It's really an ugly planet, and it's a perfect match for the Zerg!" One journalist said, apparently forgetting that a month ago it was a human colony.
"Olga, come here!" Karl saw the procession to greet him, and at the front was Ogga.
Olga reluctantly stepped forward, saluted Karl, and said, "Sir." "
Karl turned back to the reporters and said, "I'm talking about her, but she's the most beautiful female officer in the fleet." His words were frivolous, causing Olga to frown in disgust.
"Ah, it's a pleasure to meet you, I heard that you're still a ghost warrior with psychic powers, it's really a great news subject." The three reporters looked at Olga's eyes full of light.
"Ahem!" Karl coughed dissatisfiedly, indicating that he was the protagonist of the night, and said, "Gentlemen, let's get started, and we will arrange for you to visit Captain Olga later." "
"Oh, yes, yes." The three reporters came back to their senses, one of them stood next to Carl with a microphone, and the director and cameraman stood opposite, immediately ready to broadcast live.
"5,4,3,2,1,action!"
"Live, on the front line of Iha! Citizens, here is the news channel reporting on the ground. Tonight, the great Federation forces have once again shown their extraordinary fighting prowess, and after twelve hours of fierce fighting, we have regained our footing on the land of Planet Ah! "
"Standing beside me was the commander of the 1978th fleet, Colonel Karl." The reporter turned the microphone and said to Karl: "Sir, could you please introduce the battle situation?" "
Carl faced the camera, although he had been preparing for a long time, he was still a little nervous and at a loss, and his expression was dull A few times before he opened his mouth to introduce the battle situation. Aojia and other marines at the scene tried desperately to hold back their laughter, while the officers who were watching the live broadcast in the command room had already burst into laughter.
"We, well, have completely occupied the ground, killed a large number of the living forces of the Zerg, and everything is going well at the moment." Carl pit is finally introduced.
"So how many Zerg are there at the moment? Where are they hiding? The reporter then asked.
"Well, we're still investigating." Carl said.
Before the words fell, a crisp and sharp hiss spread through the microphone to all corners of the Federation, and most people heard the Zerg's cry for the first time through the TV.
In the camera, Carl and the reporters around him looked back in amazement, and in the dark night, only the rustling sound was heard getting closer and closer. The photographer passed the camera between the two of them and zoomed closer to the mining area, only to see black shadows quickly scurrying out of the pit, waving their claws and rushing towards everyone.
"It's the Zerg!" Olga was the first to react, she waved her hand, and immediately gave an order: "All team members enter the position, O'Neill, go and start the tank and prepare for fire support!" "
She picked up her Gauss rifle, but couldn't see the Zerg under the cover of night, so she shouted: "Full spectrum, night mode, start!" "
The C-2000 combat suit she was wearing had an intelligent voice recognition system that immediately switched the helmet screen to night mode, and Olga saw the swarm of insects rushing towards her.
"All fire!" At Olga's order, the team fired Gaussian steel-tipped bullets at the swarm, and she pulled the trigger herself, pouring ammunition.
However, she soon discovered that these bugs were very different from the Zerg who braved the rain of bullets during the day, and they knew how to avoid the fire net and move along the undulating dune curves to minimize casualties. …,
"Bastard!" Olga gritted his teeth and cursed, and ordered O'Neill in the tank over the radio: "Lieutenant, set up the cannon and shoot in a curve." "
"Understood!" After O'Neill answered, the cannon barrel on the giant tank began to be erected high, and the fire control computer instantly calculated the firing angle, "Fire!" "
With a loud bang, the 150-caliber cannon emitted a ball of flame, and the shell fell exactly behind the sand dunes along the curve, the violent explosion made the ground tremble, and the shock wave carried the sand particles over the top of the dune, and Olga had to bend down to dodge.
While everyone's attention was drawn to the Zerg in front of them, no one expected that another group of bugs was quietly approaching Olga's defensive position from the side, and when the Marines spotted it, the team of Frogs had already jumped over the trench and rushed into the position.
"Ahh Captain, at 3 o'clock the bugs have broken through! O'Neill's roar was heard over the radio.
"Hell!" Ao Jia hurriedly turned her head, the helmet screen intelligently entered the telescope mode, she saw that 500 meters away, a huge snyfly had begun to engage with the marines on the defensive side, and the sharp scythe hand easily cut through the protection of the heavy protective suit, harvesting the lives of the landing soldiers.
"It was a feint!" She reacted, this is the Zerg she knew, cunning and cruel.
"Shrink the line, order the flanks to retreat, regroup next to the tanks, and the heavy machine gunners provide cover!" Hand-to-hand combat is the strength of the Zerg, and they must not fall into hand-to-hand combat, so Aojia immediately reorganized the defensive formation to keep the Zerg out of the firepower net.
The multi-barreled heavy machine guns began to shoot tongues of fire, bullets intercepting the sleeches that were chasing the defeated human soldiers, giving the poor Marines a chance to escape.
"Oh Ang! Oh Ang! A strange Zerg voice came, and the Frogs seemed to have received an order, and all of them decisively withdrew from the human position and hid in the darkness.
"How?" Aojia found that the other party was not simple, and immediately withdrew his troops if the sneak attack failed.
The Marines nervously held their Gauss rifles and looked around with wide eyes. But the Zerg has become a trick and disappeared without a trace.
"Olga!" A loud shout rang out behind her.
Oga turned around and found Karl standing behind him covered in sand, his brand new suit now dirty.
"Is this the result of your battle? You've missed so many bugs, and you're ready to be disciplined! Carl roared angrily.
"Sir, I think Captain Olga's command just now was decisive and very effective in repelling the Zerg, and I think the citizens in front of the TV think the same thing." Karl looked back at the speaker in annoyance, only to find that it was the TV reporter holding the microphone and blinking desperately at him, while the cameraman was carrying the machine to himself, and it turned out that the live broadcast was still going on.
"Ah, this, well, yes." Karl was embarrassed not knowing what to say when he suddenly heard a Marine shouting, "There's a situation!" "
"Is it the Zerg calling again?" Carl nervously looked into the darkness.
I saw a few shadows appear in the darkness, and the team members all raised their weapons.
"Don't shoot! We are human! The shadow drew closer and closer, and spoke.
"Don't be nervous, it's human!" Oga hurriedly shouted, lest the nervous Marines go off.
Two men came in the dark, ragged and skinny, and when they stumbled to the crowd, they had already spent all their strength and sat down on the ground.
"Who are you?" The reporter seized the opportunity and ran up quickly to ask.
The two men were a little dazed in front of the camera, and after a while, they said: "We are miners working in the mine, and we have been hiding in the pit since Ahstar fell before we had time to retreat. "
"Ah, how did you stay in there for so long? Are there any survivors in the mines? The reporter said incredulously.
"No, only the Zerg are hiding inside."
"What, there's Zerg in the mine?"
"Yes, thousands of Zerg, the two of us managed to escape while we were in the chaos just now."
When Carl heard this, his face turned pale, and he interrupted the visit: "Okay, I'm going back to the headquarters, and that's all for today's visit." ”
He then turned back to Olgar and said, "Captain Olga, I order you to immediately start the clean-up work and remove all the Zerg hiding in the mine. ”
