The battle in Area C is still in full swing, and the Marines are shooting at each other with spike metal bullets of various calibers, and the more dense bone spurs fired by the monsters.

Every second, there were countless snake-like insects, torn into pieces of broken flesh by the bullets of the extremely high-speed spike electromagnetic rifle, and countless red-green blood, body fluids, and venom almost stirred up the entire collapsed area into a flesh and blood country that was piled up by blood, flesh, mud, and insect corpses.

At the same time, every time the Marines take a risky shot, there will always be a few unlucky people who are slammed into the weak part of the armor by those bone spurs, and then scream and drop their rifles and roll on the ground under the toxic damage of the bone spurs, or some turn around and run, trying to run to the barracks to seek treatment with professional medical equipment?

It's a pity that these people often can't run a few steps before they are nailed to their backs by more bone spurs, and then they quickly fall to the ground and can no longer move......

"Damn it! What's going on with tank troops? Hurry up and fire, we need artillery support! More support!! ”

After venturing his feet and emptying a magazine, Galen had to retract behind the rock, once again calling for long-range artillery support from the tank troops.

Now, as a result of getting up and risking to shoot, Galen's shoulders and head are bitten by those bone spur-like things, and several nails have been bitten!

Fortunately, the armor of these important parts of his armor was relatively thick, almost forty or fifty millimeters thick, and those bone spurs were probably only nailed into the part of the stainless steel armor for less than thirty millimeters, and they were successfully resisted.

At this time, when Galen put away the deck of the helmet, he was surprised to find that the high-strength bulletproof glass shield on his head had been pierced by a bone spur? The long bone spur with a faint blue-green eerie light was half-inserted into the mask, and after it was inserted into the glass, it happened to be blocked by the armor that had just been lowered?

Looking at the sharp direction of the bone spur, straight at the center of his eyebrows, Galen swallowed his saliva before he raised his hand with palpitations, intending to pull it off.

If it weren't for the armor plate in his helmet that he had put down in his helmet according to the standard battle procedure just now, I'm afraid that my current self would definitely be pierced by this bone arrow and die, right?

"Stop, Galen! I advise you not to do that! ”

When Galen's mechanical arm slowly grabbed the bone spur and was about to forcibly pull it out, Darius next to him saw it and quickly spoke to dissuade him.

"Once you pull it out, you're dead! There are a lot of highly toxic corrosive vapors in the atmosphere of this planet, and the right thing to do now is to leave it alone, and at the same time, it is best to slightly increase the air pressure circulating inside your armored power suit. ”

With that, Darius also pointed to his helmet, a thin white gas leaking from his mask. When the air with water vapor leaks out and comes into contact with the cold environment of the planet at night, it becomes this white water vapor.

Like Galen, at this time, Darius's head and shoulders were also densely pierced with those hideous and sharp slender bone spurs, and even three of the four searchlights on his chest and next to his helmet were broken!

And the high-strength bulletproof glass shield on his face, even pierced into two bone spurs, and like Galen, he was lucky to be blocked by the armor plate and was stuck and lost kinetic energy.

It was only now that Darius felt that both of them should be glad that the bone spurs had not shattered the glass shield, but had only been stuck in the glass, though it was now leaking a little.

However, after he increased the air pressure circulating in the armor for the first time, the poison gas from the outside world, under the action of the high air pressure inside, could not enter for the time being, and the gas tank carried by his armored power combat suit, according to the current leakage rate, would have passed for at least several hours when it was almost leaked? At that point, no matter whether you win or lose, the battle should be over, right?

"Oh! Oh yes...... Okay, thanks for the reminder, man! ”

Galen, who was stunned for a moment, finally realized that he had just almost done something stupid, quickly and carefully stopped his hand, and immediately increased the air pressure circulating inside his armor.

He finally remembered now that the external air pressure here on this planet, this island, is about 1.2 times the standard atmospheric pressure of the earth?

So, as long as he raises the air pressure of the internal circulation environment to 1.3 times or more of the standard earth atmosphere, then he can ensure that no poisonous gas can leak in from the edge of the bone spurs and glass, right?

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

A succession of eight 120-mm arc shock cannon shells struck again, and in an instant they plowed into the formation of snake-like swarms of spurs that shot bone spurs.

Finally, after the Marines in the second line of defense were so suppressed by the snake-like monsters that kept pouring out that they could barely raise their heads and paid heavy casualties, the tank units not far from the command center of the base, who did not know what was going on, opened fire again in time.

Shells continued to flow, and one after another long-range 120 mm large-caliber electromagnetic artillery shells whistled and struck in a hurry, constantly smashing into the dense formation of snakes that constantly fired bone spurs at the landing team's defense line and approached the past, explosions, flames, smoke, shock waves, and flying gravel and steel balls, instantly blocking the impact of the insects again.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

The long-range artillery bombardment continued, and the Marines could finally take a breath and calmly show their heads to shoot the insects that slipped through the net.

Countless insects that sprang out of the cavern had to be beaten back again under the terrifying artillery fire of the human beings and the metal storm of the roaring and shooting of the relieved marines......

When more than a minute had passed, when the artillery fire of the tank troops had temporarily stopped, on the battlefield of men and insects covered with gunsmoke and blood and minced flesh, except for the occasional few frightened insects that were killed by sporadic gunfire, there was no longer a single insect that could move outside the hole and on the ground.

"It's over?"

"Maybe......"

“……”

Looking at the chaotic battlefield that was smoking, covered with bugs and human Marine corpses, mixed with human and insect blood, and the surrounding rocks and ground that were riddled with bullet holes or nailed like hedgehogs, all the Marines who could still breathe began to fall silent.

To everyone's surprise, tonight's night attack by the bugs could still be so brutal when the human side was prepared?

They were hundreds of Marines, hundreds of shotguns or electromagnetic rifles of various calibers, and they all paid such heavy casualties with all the preparation in advance of the enemy's situation?

Some of them took a cursory glance at the radar in the lower right corner of their respective panels, and on the display interface, they could clearly see that the green highlights belonging to the friendly side were at least one-third less than before? Those who have extinguished the life signal are already dead, right?

In less than an hour of fighting, they had already lost a third of their hundreds of marines, nearly about two hundred?

Although, the insects that were killed by them will only be more, and there may even be more than tens of thousands, but ......

The loss of nearly two hundred companions at this time still made their human side feel a little unacceptable, this level of casualties was really a bit too high for them!

After all, there are less than 140,000 people in the entire Hope colony spacecraft still in orbit, excluding those who are old and weak and unfit to go to the battlefield, as well as other men and women of appropriate age who must be in important positions and can be conscripted by the Hope, it is estimated that there are less than 30,000 or 40,000 people, right?

“……”

After the roaring artillery explosions stopped, not only was there no sound on the human side, but even the insects, they seemed to have died down, except for the cave, there seemed to be a faint sound of insects screaming, on the ground, they could no longer be seen moving.

"Hey, Darius? Those bugs, don't they dare to rush up? ”

Looking at the battlefield in Area C, which was littered with the corpses of all kinds of broken bugs that had been shot or blown up, Galen stood up and looked at it for a while, and then asked Darius on the side with some uncertainty.

Now, he looked at the past, in addition to the thick layer of broken corpses that fell on the way of the insects, at the mouth of the crypt in the collapse area more than three hundred meters away, the corpses of those insects were like a small mountain, directly piling up the entire cave to a height of more than ten meters, like a bulging anthill entrance?

Just now, when the tank troops were in confusion, the bugs made a third wave of charges again, and they seemed to swoop down directly from the top of the worm mountain, and the small hill formed by the corpses of the worms not only affected the shooting of the marines to a certain extent, but also slightly accelerated their charging speed.

"I don't know, but I hope ......"

Da Da!!

Darius answered Galen's question as he shot impatiently, using his long-beaten electromagnetic rifle to blow up the disgusting head of a four-legged bug monster that was trying to emerge from the pile of corpses, turning it into a sea of corpses.

"Then why don't they rush out now? Is it because there are too many deaths, so I am afraid? ”

Looking at the corpses piled up with insects on the battlefield, Galen felt that his guess should be quite reliable.

Those bugs, visually inspecting the past, have lost at least more than 10,000 yuan, right? Not even ready to retreat?

If the attacking side had been replaced by their own humans, and in such a short period of time, they had really killed and wounded so many troops, I am afraid that they would have collapsed early in the morning, right?

He couldn't even understand these bugs now, did they have no brains? Or will you die as soon as you fight?

Or are they so many that they don't care about casualties? Want to use the endless sea of worms to directly flood your own human ground base and drive humans out of their planet completely?

After thinking about it, Galen still couldn't figure out what was going on with those bugs, so he could only throw down the C-15 Spike Electromagnetic Rifle in his hand, which was also red with the barrel in his hand, and pulled out a new electromagnetic rifle from one of the equipment boxes that had been transported here by SCV engineers and stacked with neat rows of brand-new rifles.

Fortunately, they humans had been prepared for a long time before, and here in the second line of defense, at the time of preparing the defense line, a large number of weapons and ammunition boxes were transported by SCV engineering vehicles from the barracks with the ability to manufacture small arms.

On the ground around the Marines' defensive lines, in those equipment boxes, neatly packed rows of brand-new electromagnetic rifles and a large number of fully loaded magazines were stacked, enough to ensure that the soldiers could continue this high-intensity defensive operation.

Generally speaking, after the barrel of the weapon is overloaded, it is easy to blow up the chamber or affect the shooting accuracy, and the correct way to deal with it should be to directly replace the barrel parts.

It's just that now that the war situation is urgent, they don't have time to replace parts for those troublesome weapons, and in this interstellar era, the manufacturing industry is extremely developed, and human beings are not short of metal resources to make rifles, so it's more reliable to just replace them with a new one.

Anyway, if the barrel is red, throw it directly to the ground, and when the new gun in their hands is also red, it is estimated that the previous throw has also cooled down, and then, they can pick it up and continue to use it?

"I don't know! Why don't you go over and see for yourself? ”

Darius glanced at Galen angrily, and then followed the other and dropped the weapon that was a little overloaded in his hand.

Then, with heavy footsteps, he was a little tired and manipulating the armored power suit, walked over, and also randomly selected a brand-new electromagnetic rifle from the equipment box that looked pleasing to the eye, and easily picked up a full magazine box, and walked back directly to the position where he had just hidden.

Darius thinks that in the half hour today, he has almost fired tens of thousands of bullets, right? Every time, after plugging the magazine, the trigger was directly pulled and did not move, until the bullet was finished, during this period, the weapon surprisingly did not have much problem, which already shows the excellent quality of UPL's military products.

"Uh...... Forget it. ”

He, Galen, was not stupid, how could he be stupid enough to run to the hole to observe the situation? If the bugs suddenly burst out, he wouldn't even have a chance to escape!

"It's ......"

Inside the command center, Commander Doug and the rest of the military personnel were staring at a picture of messimism.

It turned out that after the swarm was suppressed by artillery fire again, they sent a small drone to remotely enter the inclined cavern, and saw what was going on inside: the mammoth worm, which had been huge, was slowly moving in the cave just big enough for it to walk.

Shh

Suddenly, a snake-shaped insect spotted the human reconnaissance vehicle, and after it screamed, countless bone spurs shot towards the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft on the top of the cave, instantly interrupting the reconnaissance scene.

"Attention all Marines! The big mammoth bug on the other side is about to crawl out of that crypt, so be on guard! ”

At this moment, in the command center of the base, Commander Doug's voice rang out from everyone's channels again.

In fact, there is no need for Doug to remind all the Marines that they can now vaguely feel the vibration of the ground.

Then, unconsciously, they remembered the terrifying creature still lying on the beach, burned to the point of a huge skeleton.

“……”

Now, it's estimated that something big is going to happen!

Galen and Darius, the captains and lieutenant commanders of the two Marine Corpses, looked at each other with a hint of fear in their eyes.

Now, the two monsters the size of calves and the snake-like bugs with long-range shooting ability alone have stretched their rudimentary defenses and are overwhelmed!

And now, if one or two more terrifying and huge creatures of the same kind that appeared a few days ago appeared from that cave, then their current line of defense may be destroyed by the other party in an instant?

"Tank troops, ready to support us at any time!"

Darius immediately requested support from the siege tanks near the command center of the rear base.

The battle at the time of landing the other day has proved that the small arms of the Marine Corps are useless against monsters of huge size and thick armor!

So, he, Darius, now only hoped that the 120mm arc shock guns of their tanks would be able to break through the armor of the opponent's body, right? Of course, he also hopes that the gunners of those tanks can shoot a little more accurately?

"By the way, what about Anne? Annie, where are you? We need your support now! ”

At this time, Galen immediately remembered the situation when Little Anne burned the huge monster in the fire, so he immediately called the other party.

In his opinion, if Little Anne strikes again against the big monster that is about to appear, it is not that they can't continue to persevere?

"It's coming, it's coming, it's coming soon! What are you anxious about? ”

Little Anne's grunt of discontent and the excitement of the big monster that was about to appear finally rang out in the channel.

"By the way, that big monster, did it come out?"

She had just gone to the command center of the base for a walk, and by the way, she used her tank gun to help shoot down three large flying bugs.

After actual shooting, now Anne feels that the 80mm double-barreled cannon of this tank is really much more powerful than her 20mm sniper rifle, although her rifle is estimated to be able to easily deal with the kind of flying insects that do not have too high armor, but the small caliber of the rifle, where is the enjoyment of the tank gun?

Under her direct artillery bombardment, no matter how fast those insects fly, she can use her spirit to predict the direction of the other party, and casually bombard it, and she can directly say that the other party has been smashed to pieces!

Tank artillery to fight flying insects, for little Annie, it is simply not too simple!

As long as you know how the shells fly, plus lock the position of the enemy in the air, then calculate a little bit of prediction, and add the time when the shells are flying, and make sure that you are accurate by a dozen!

She couldn't figure out how the eight tanks just now were chased by three big bugs and ran around? What a bunch of stupid guys! Those flying insects didn't fly high, and their eight tanks raised their muzzles and aimed at them, even if they couldn't shoot one at a time, but there was always a time to get it right, right?

"Anne, hurry up and help! It's coming out soon!! ”

Galen began to shout anxiously in the channel again.

Because, he found that at the entrance of the huge cave in the distance, the corpse of the insect was moving, it must be that kind of huge monster, it was about to crawl out of the cave, right?

"Damn ......"

Sure enough, it came out!

Now, Galen has clearly seen that the other party's huge bone scythe!

Soon, after the huge monster came out, it just pulled it casually, and with only two clicks, it directly dispersed the mountain-like insect corpses that had piled up near the cave, and then quickly cleared out a slightly gentle passage near the entrance of the cave.

Roar!!!

The huge monster didn't know if it was stimulated by the large number of insect corpses and blood, so when it crawled out of the hole, it roared loudly and angrily.

After a while, it began to angrily use the two pairs of huge bone sickles in front of it to constantly wave at the insect corpses around it, and also splashed those insect corpses and corrosive blood everywhere, and some even flew over a distance of more than three hundred meters, directly causing a lot of confusion to the marines on the defensive line.

It didn't take long for it to empty most of the insect corpses near the entrance of the cave at once, revealing the dense swarm of insects that followed it and still in the sloping cavern, the four-legged and the legless, mixed together.

"Oh, that's a big problem......"

Seeing this situation, even Darius, who never knew what he was afraid of, felt that this time, they were afraid that they would face the biggest trouble tonight?

"It's coming, it's coming!"

Darius's sigh had just fallen, and little Annie's crisp voice continued to sound in the channel.

"Aha! I've seen that big bug, don't grab it, it's mine! ”

In the distance, just as Galen was about to say something, a red-painted tank was running at high speed, bringing up a cloud of smoke and dust in the dark night, and rushing towards Area C.

Then, as little Anne was driving at high speed, she turned the tank's two 80 mm double-barreled guns and aimed them straight at the head of the big guy who was roaring wildly.

Rumble! Rumble!

Two successive cannon roars rang out, and the tank piloted by Little Anne, on the way to high speed, accurately hit the monster's huge head with the two 80mm double-barreled guns.

Roar!!

Of course, the monster let out a roar of pain in the first place.

After the flames of the explosion, everyone could clearly see that the monster's ugly head, full of fangs and bony horns, had been almost half shattered by the two shots?

Rumble! Rumble!

Only a second later, two more cannons rang out, and two cannonballs whizzed and smashed into the bone armor of the monster's lowered head, and two more small pits exploded.

It's a pity that this worm's vitality is extremely tenacious, except for the first shelling that hit its mouth and made it lose a little weight, like the next two cannons, this kind of artillery attack on its head and heavy bone armor can only make it hurt a little bit and become more violent, and it can't directly kill it.

Roar!!!

With another roar from the giant monster, it began to move forward, toward the human marines' defenses.

The insects in the cave behind it also screamed at the same time, like a swarm of small ants, and began to run wildly behind the huge monster.

Dadada!!

Without the commander's order, all the Marines had already taken the lead in shooting when they saw this situation.

From the muzzles of their flame-spewing guns, countless spike bullets once again shot towards the swarm like an endless metal storm.

"Damn it! Everyone, aim at those little bugs and fire! Leave that big guy alone! ”

When he saw that the monster began to charge, Galen also opened fire as soon as possible.

It's just that when he found out that the others were ignoring the little bugs that followed the big monsters, and unconsciously raised the muzzle of their guns to sweep the huge monsters and waste bullets, he finally couldn't help but shout loudly in the channel.

In the past few days, they have proved with dozens of lives that the light weapons of their marines cannot effectively damage monsters with thick armor and rough skin.

Da Da Da ......

Whoosh ......

"Hurry up and shoot those little bugs! Don't panic! ”

On the battlefield, the sound of the marines' rifles firing, the muffled sound of snake-shaped insects firing bone spurs piercing the air, and the cries of the commanders of the battle line were mixed together.

Every moment, the hapless Marines are struck by bone spurs and fall, and at the same time, more bugs are shattered into pieces of minced flesh or tattered pockets of flesh by the metal storm of spike bullets.

However, they continued to follow the huge monster with unrelenting momentum, charging in unison.

Rumble!!!

Suddenly, a huge artillery shell exploded directly at the weak part of the elbow joint of the huge monster's thick four hooves, so that its thick scale armor could not withstand the huge damage of the 120mm siege stunner, and was directly blown apart, revealing the muscles and bloody muscles inside.

Roar!!

This cannonball was so tricky that it hit the weak part of its leg?

Then, the body of the huge monster, which was still charging, fell directly to the ground after being wounded in one leg, and at the same time, it raised its head, which was originally low and protected by the thick bone armor on the back of its head, with a cry of pain.

Rumble!!!

Another 120-millimeter arc shock cannon accurately hit its ugly head raised high, and the powerful 120-millimeter siege shell penetrated directly into its jaw, and instantly exploded its unprotected head into a pile of tattered pieces......

Boom!!!

Finally, the monster's roar came to an abrupt end, and its heavy body, which had been trying to struggle to get up, finally fell limply to the ground, and after squashing a pile of charging bugs, it was silent......

"Haha! It's really useless, it was solved with only two shots?! ”

In the channel, little Annie's unbridled laughter was heard again.

It turned out that it was just now, and after finding out that the tank's 80mm double-barreled tank gun was not very powerful, Little Anne immediately switched to siege mode for the first time.

Then, when the monster had run more than half the distance, before those marines were about to collapse, her attack finally arrived in time, and only two attacks at an interval of three seconds killed a huge monster, and at the same time made the bugs lose their greatest support!

Da Da Da ......

"Others, don't stop! Keep attacking! ”

Darius and Galen were still shouting loudly at the Marines who were stunned when they saw the monster die.

At this moment, even if the big monster that led the charge was dead, those big dogs or snake-like insects still climbed up to the corpse that fell to the ground and blocked the way, and continued to charge towards their human position. Even, the huge corpse of the monster managed to cover the bugs behind it, greatly shortening their charging distance.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

Not long after Little Anne bombarded the monster, the eight tanks in the rear, which had been reorganized and adjusted to shoot at Zhu Yuan, fired their 120mm arc shock guns at the swarm again, and once again stopped the momentum of the swarm charge in time.

Originally, they were actually planning to bombard the giant bug.

But who would have thought that before they had calculated the shelling data, the other party had already been beaten down? Therefore, they had to hastily change to shelling those little bugs, using artillery fire to stop their charge.

"Hahaha...... Little cubs, your Uncle Planck is here! Pay attention to cover Lao Tzu! Otherwise...... Belch! ”

Suddenly, in everyone's channel, there was a voice that Galen didn't want to hear, and then, sure enough, the other party also had a big wine burp?

Don't think about it, this should be what Commander Doug said before: the Captain Planck who drove a temporary cameo bomber in a transport spaceship!

Now, he finally transported a large modified fuel canister and flew down at high speed from the sky towards this side of the battlefield in Area C of the base.

"Hahaha...... Alien bugs, your pre-ordered delivery has arrived! Remember, be sure to give Uncle Planck a good review! ”

As the transport ship swept over the cavern at high speed, its belly hatch slammed open.

Then, a huge incendiary canister the size of almost four siege tanks combined, filled with all kinds of incendiary materials, fell into the huge hole accurately, and after making a loud noise and flattening a push of bugs, it rolled directly into the inclined cavern with the huge inertial kinetic energy brought by the spaceship......

Then, discarding the heavy armoured transport ship, under the control of Captain Planck, it jerked its bow high and soared straight into the air.

"Little cubs, don't say that Uncle Planck didn't warn you, now, you'd better find a place to lie down and hide at once, otherwise, hum ......"
