332 Three-day offensive and defensive battle
"Machines 2 to 8 will follow me, the Cosmic Knight team will assist, and Machines 9 to 12 will stay behind to protect and replace the module!"
"Yes!"
Suddenly, eight greedy mechs and twelve cosmic knights rushed towards the three fighting insects that were flying in through the gap in the energy barrier, while the remaining four greedy wolf mechs came to the replacement module that was moving towards the specified coordinates, forming a small guard array.
"No. 7, No. 8, I have marked the target, you stick to target 2 and target 3 respectively, two to six follow me, use the siege array to annihilate target 1 first, the universe knight team roams around the periphery, and if you have the opportunity, you can shoot directly!"
"Yes!"
When everyone heard the squad leader's order, they immediately responded in unison, and immediately began to act according to tactics.
Within the barrier, I saw that the two mechs accelerated instantly, and relying on their powerful maneuvering ability, they immediately bypassed the fighting insect at the front and left it to the hunting team behind them.
After bypassing the first fighting insect, the other two immediately entered their field of vision, and without the slightest hesitation, after raising the ion beam rifle in their hands to a slight standard, they shot at the two fighting insects respectively.
At such a close distance, with the huge body of the fighting insect, it was impossible to dodge at all.
Even so, after all, the power of the weapons used by the mecha is relatively small, and it is only close to the power of the battleship's close defense weapons, no matter how accurate the shooting is, it only makes some cracks in the shells of the two fighting insects.
However, this was enough, and the two fighting insects who were in pain suddenly had red eyes, turned around, and rushed towards the mecha that attacked them.
On the other side, the fighting insects that first rushed into the barrier had also met the hunting team.
The whole squad has a clear division of labor, some deliberately get close to provoke and attract attention, some fly around the fighting insects and attack, and some look for opportunities to attack the key points on the periphery, etc.
It can be clearly seen that these mecha and the cosmic knights must have been trained for a long time, and the cooperation between them is extremely tacit.
Of course, this war insect was not able to hold out for long, and soon lost its life under the constant attacks of the hunting team.
After dealing with this one, the killing team immediately pounced on the other one that was stuck to Seven.
Using the same method, in just over 30 seconds, the three fighting insects that rushed into the gap had all been hunted.
"Isn't the mod in place yet?"
The captain looked out through the gap in front of him, and a large number of fighting insects were rushing towards the gap in front of him, at least in the thousands.
If they let them rush in, it won't be something that a team like themselves can solve.
"There are 3 seconds left. 2..1..0”
"Module E3129 is in place... The one-way energy barrier begins to activate... Start-up is complete, gap closure is complete! ”
"Whew... It's a bit dangerous! ”
Listening to the communication of the bridge command group in his ears, and seeing that the gap in front of him was covered by a light blue energy barrier again, the captain couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
In the same way, as time goes on, more and more modules run out of energy and need to be replaced, and it happens constantly, at most, there are even more than 200 modules being replaced at the same time.
Each of these mod changes is a war, and the most dangerous one is that there are a large number of fighting bugs gathered at the gap itself, and when the gap appears, more than 200 bugs rush into the barrier in an instant.
In the end, after mobilizing three squadrons and paying the price of three mechs and five cosmic knights, the gap was closed again.
Gradually, as the convoy broke through, more and more fighting insects came to the Gonggong.
From the outside, the Gonggong was no longer visible at all, and outside the energy barrier of the entire battleship, there were already piles of bugs.
And this makes the replacement of the module of the energy barrier more and more difficult!
Any gap appears, there will be at least one or two hundred bugs taking advantage of those tens of seconds to burst in, like the beginning, the days when you only need to deal with a few fighting bugs are gone.
However, fortunately, the number of mecha and cosmic knights carried by the Gonggong is enough to deal with the situation of fires everywhere.
Before you know it, three days have passed since the start of the war.
The decoy Lin Fan and the First Fleet of the Third Legion of Birodis, which were located on the first line of defense, were still standing still, but it was the Zerg, who had already lost more than 1 trillion in number, which can be said to be more than half of the casualties.
If the fleets of other civilizations had such casualties, they would have been defeated a long time ago, but the Zerg is different, and the war insects at the grassroots level basically have no concept of fear and retreat, even if it is a fighting insect, they dare to pounce on a whole fleet.
However, Socrates was not in a good mood at the moment, and every time he felt that there was a breakthrough and could solve this threatening warship, he was quickly extinguished again, and the experience of these three days can be said to be easy for him to come and go.
It seems that under the attack of the Zerg, the co-workers are crumbling, but they can always be blocked at the last moment, making Socrates fall short.
As Lin Fan said, it always makes you feel hopeful, and you can succeed in the next moment, but every time it is only one breath away.
And Socrates' feeling is like this, every time he fails to break through, he will think that this time he only succeeded in one breath, and he will definitely be able to do it next time!
So, I wandered between hope and disappointment for three whole days, and until now, I am still trying!
However, no matter how much he was tricked by Lin Fan, Socrates also reacted a little at this time, and inadvertently his losses were more than half, and most of the losses came from the tens of billions of warships on the second line of defense (15 billion fourth-level civilization warships, and more than 30 billion third-level civilization warships that arrived one after another in three days)!
In other words, when he was racking his brains to attack that huge battleship, he was beaten from the side for three days and didn't fight back? Isn't that a bit stupid?
Well? Have you forgotten something? That's right!
Socrates suddenly remembered something, and immediately checked it through the Zerg's spiritual network.
It remembered that it had arranged for the nearest 5 mixed insect swarms to come over three days ago, and it was very close at this moment, and it still had a day to reach the battlefield!
Sensing the location of the five mixed insect swarms, Socrates smiled, even though no one could tell that it was laughing with its ugly insect face.
At the same time, the A211 defense area, the first line of defense, was inside the bridge of the Gonggong.
"Commander, 5 super swarms have been found outside of 5AU, heading towards our A211 defense area, and contact is expected in a day!"
"Sure enough!"
Lin Fan nodded, it was exactly as he expected!
