Chapter 480: Approaching Victory
They didn't dare to attack the bugs in the front row that had already fought with the mechas, which would easily injure their own people by mistake, so most people's choice was to attack the bugs that were a little further back.
This also indirectly helps the mecha troops, so that the insects they face at the same time are not particularly large, at least there are gaps for themselves to move.
When the mecha troops were fighting, they began to deliberately spread out their positions and move more positions, so that the friendly forces behind them could also participate in the battle. Some of the mech pilots at the back had not yet been able to deal with the swarm at this time, so they could only get close and bombard the swarm behind them with the shells they still had left.
As soon as the front row of troops disperses like this, there will be more friendly troops in the back to participate in the battle, and their own pressure will not be so great.
The combat aircraft in the air are also deliberately moving away from the front row of the battlefield. They didn't have cannon weapons on them, they were all high-powered bombs, and these bombs were all thrown behind the swarm.
They did not bring direct help to the mech troops, and were attacking solely to reduce the number of zergs. Once the weapon on the body is used up, it will turn around, return to the base at full speed to resupply, and then take off again.
The Marines above occupied the three commanding heights and also put pressure on the swarm. At this time, the battle in this direction is also very fierce.
Yang Hao and Wei Gong were divided into the battle sequence, while Zhang Tianhai and Sima Yun were divided into the defense line to guard the safety here.
They stood behind the line and kept firing at the bugs that tried to attack the line, stopping them in the distance. Not far away. There were also soldiers who brought flamethrowers, which were used to destroy Miè's corpses to prevent the Zerg corpses from getting in the way. Placing these corpses here will not only not have any benefits, but will affect the shooting accuracy of the soldiers, as well as the distance of defense, so these corpses must not be placed here.
There is only one direction they need to defend, and the number of Zerg is not as numbing as the one below, just defense. That's still going to hold up.
Moreover, from time to time, there will be combat aircraft in the air to relieve them of pressure. So from the current point of view, if you want to defend against the attack of the Zerg, it can still be done.
Among the marine soldiers in the auxiliary mecha unit, Yang Hao may be a special person.
Everyone else is aiming for the back. And his gun. It points to the front row.
His shooting is also not like the others. Pull the trigger at the Zerg, but aim for a while before sending out a bullet.
But its hit rate. In particular, the lethality rate is incomparable to others.
His bullets basically hit the head of the Zerg, or a place in the neck.
This is also a very lethal place for the Zerg, almost as soon as they hit, they will be killed.
As a sniper, Yang Hao naturally has his own ideas. Although this gun is not a sniper rifle, the aiming system is very good, very accurate, except for the sniper scope, this scope is the best scope Yang Hao has ever used. Now the distance between those insects and themselves is only one or two hundred meters, and such an energy weapon, I don't have to think about the impact of the outside world on the bullets, basically which to hit, I really don't need to doubt and surprise that I can achieve such accuracy.
And he, indirectly, has saved a lot of people.
The mechs have now begun to suffer casualties as well. However, there are also many people who are lucky to escape, although the mecha was destroyed, but the pilot still escaped intact. But this is the battlefield, and a driver who has lost a mech, in such an environment, the mortality rate is often very high, even if they have spare weapons on them.
People like this are often the targets of Yang Hao's care. They will easily be targeted by some insects, and at this time, Yang Hao will shoot without hesitation.
Many people are like this, and Yang Hao picked up a life from the knife of the insect.
There are also some bugs that may cause damage to the mecha, which are also Yang Hao's targets, and there are even some bugs that have jumped onto the mecha, which are even more objects that Yang Hao will not let go, even if they can't hit the fatal parts of the bugs with one blow, they must at least be knocked down. As long as the mecha pilot has enough time to react, such a bug will definitely die in the end.
Yang Hao's position is quite acting as a firefighter, trying to give some help to the mecha troops.
Only a sniper like him can do such a thing.
But no matter how powerful he is, there is only one person. The battlefield area is so large, even if he has three heads and six arms, it is impossible for him to completely take care of the entire battlefield. The casualties in the battle are still slowly increasing, and some people will return to the arms of death in the blink of an eye after being rescued by Yang Hao. For this situation, Yang Hao has no way but to do his best to do what he can do.
This side of the night meteor.
She has also joined the frontal battle. Facing the insects with no end in sight, she also felt some scalp tingling. But now that I'm in this environment, I can only bite the bullet.
Being assigned to the mecha unit, coupled with the experience of several battles, has made her basically master the skills of using mechas. At this time, there is no gap between her and other mecha pilots, and her flexibility and strength are not lost to others.
There were five people in her group, plus her. These five people stood together at this time, covering each other, facing the insects coming from all directions.
A person's combat effectiveness may not be very strong, but a well-coordinated team may have strength beyond imagination. At this time, the five people were facing one direction, and each person's attack range was covered by two people on the left and right. That is to say, in the direction of each of their defenses, there are actually three people defending, and this way of fighting makes such a five-person group seem to have the combat power of more than a dozen people, at least in the face of these bugs, they will not let the bugs have a chance to attack them at all.
In fact, this kind of attack method is used by many mecha squads, but not every squad has received the greatest effect.
Because the human body and reaction power are limited, in the face of ten or twenty insects attacking at the same time, it may be able to prevent it, but on each side, there are dozens of insects attacking?
Don't forget that Zerg soldiers can jump, and once they jump on top of the mech, the trouble is the greatest. Moreover, there are flaws in such tactics.
As long as there is a problem with the people in one direction, then the back of the comrades in the other direction will be sold to the bugs. Although this will not allow the bugs to cause fatal damage to themselves, there will definitely be scars left on the mecha, and at the same time, the soldiers in this tactic will quickly disintegrate and become an individual to face the surrounding Zerg soldiers, and many mecha pilots are destroyed by the Zerg in this way and killed.
Combat aircraft reappeared over the battlefield, and after a round of resupply, their bodies were reloaded with ammunition.
After the order was given, the aircraft began to disperse, a small number of them flew to the side to support the marines, and most of the combat aircraft still flew towards the middle and rear of the swarm.
A new round of bombardment has begun.
This time, even the Marines found out.
The number of swarms is decreasing significantly.
Although the number is still large, it has decreased significantly compared to the previous one. Such a discovery has raised the morale of many soldiers.
The number of bugs is decreasing, proving that they are moving closer to victory, which is good news!
This is actually inevitable. The shelling of the mecha and the bombing of the combat aircraft caused the Zerg soldiers to lose tens of thousands, plus the hand-to-hand combat of the mecha troops, as well as the combat and flank support of the marine soldiers, these firepower are not weak. If the base could have such combat effectiveness during defensive warfare, then it would not be possible to have such large casualties in every battle.
However, this kind of news is not known to the desperate mecha troops, and they don't need to know it. Now is the time to fight hard, who cares about this?
They only know that as long as they keep moving, kill the insects that appear in front of them, and eventually there will be a moment when they will clean up all these insects.
If you can see that moment, that's for the best.
The mechs in the back began to hardtop up, and the mecha troops in the front row also began to retreat. Piloting a mecha is also a very tiring thing, and if you continue to fight like this, even if you won't be killed by bugs, you will be tired to death in the end, so proper rest is the most necessary. At this time, the mecha troops in the rear began to replace the front row troops, allowing the front allies to retreat to safety and rest temporarily.
To put it bluntly, it's actually a wheel war.
Insects don't know how to rest, but people are different. As long as the front row can withstand the crazy attack of the swarm, and the soldiers in the rear are well-rested, they can go up again and replace the exhausted troops, which can continue to ensure the combat effectiveness of the mecha troops.
As for alloy knives...... If it's damaged, pick it up on the battlefield.
Every time you retreat, there will definitely be fewer people, and those alloy knives will all stay on the battlefield. If your alloy knife is broken, you can only pick up other ones.
At this time, the attack of the Marine Corps became even more ferocious. All of them began to attack the insect swarm regardless of the consumption, and even Yang Hao gave up his idea and went all out to ensure that the mecha troops in the front row could retreat smoothly.
The handover was quickly completed, and the new fresh troops took over in the front row, replacing the already sweaty soldiers, and retreated to the rear to rest. (To be continued......)
