Chapter 45: All-Out Offensive
After resting for twenty or thirty minutes, Qin Hao felt that his body had finally regained a little strength, he stood up against the wall, and then looked down at the bottom of the hill, only to see a large number of insect swarms gathered on the east side of the hill, they charged the power grid rhythmically, but they were never able to break through the blockade of the power grid, and the corpses of the insects were scattered everywhere, all of them were scorched and scorched.
Farther away, the silver-horned giant beetle stood in a very hidden bush, seemingly supervising the battle in person, and thanks to Qin Hao's eyesight far beyond ordinary people, and even had the function of a low-powered telescope, otherwise he really wouldn't have found this silver-horned giant beetle hiding in the bushes.
"Adjutant, how much energy do you have in reserve?" James's voice came.
"Report to the division commander, you can still hold out for fifteen hours!" The adjutant said.
"Good!" James nodded, judging from the current attack intensity of the Zerg, the power grid on the periphery alone was enough to stop them.
"Huh......" Qin Hao also breathed a sigh of relief, after more than ten hours, he should have already recovered his strength, and even if something happened at that time, he would at least have some confidence to fight.
"Qin Hao, how's it going?" At this time, James came out of the bunker of the division headquarters, and then came to Qin Hao's side.
"It's nothing, just rest for a while." Qin Hao said with a smile.
"That's good!" James smiled, and then prepared to go on something else.
"Divisional Commander!" Qin Hao stopped James.
"What? Is there something wrong? James asked.
"At two o'clock, one and a half kilometers away, there is a silver-horned giant beetle, it is the commander of the Zerg legion, do you want the artillery to kill him?" Qin Hao asked.
"Oh?!" James was stunned, he really hadn't found the commander of the Zerg, and the silver-horned giant beetle was very rare, it had only been observed by reconnaissance planes before, and they had never been on the front line!
"Binoculars!" As soon as James stretched out his hand, the adjutant handed over a telescope.
Because Qin Hao provided the approximate location, after a brief search, James found the silver-horned giant beetle.
"It's really this! They are actually in the war, and it seems that General Rice needs to be informed. James nodded to himself.
"Commander, do you want to kill it?" Qin Hao asked.
"No hurry!" James waved his hand.
"Huh?" Qin Hao was stunned for a moment, now that he has discovered the commander of the enemy army, shouldn't he be eliminated as soon as possible? Once the opponent's commander is eliminated, the enemy's offensive rhythm will be disrupted, and it will be much easier to defend again.
"Hehe, Xiao Qin, you don't understand this, the silver-horned giant beetle in front of him doesn't seem to be willing to fight us to the death, so he just let the troops attack at a low intensity, maintain pressure on us, and consume our energy, so that for us, it is also a good opportunity to rest and prepare for war, if we kill it, the Zerg will send a radical commander, and then our pressure will be great!" James explained to Qin Hao with a smile that he had a good impression of Qin Hao, so he was willing to guide him in terms of tactics.
"Oh! I understand! Qin Hao nodded, now that the Terrans have just landed, their foothold is not stable, what they need most is time, once the rear is stable, the carrier-based aircraft supplied by the rotary battleship will also return, even if the Zerg attacks in a big way, it doesn't matter, but not now, now the human stronghold is still under construction, and the defense facilities are not perfect, if the Zerg launches a crazy attack at this time, then these places that have just been occupied will have to be returned.
So now the attitude of human beings is that as long as the Zerg is not in a hurry, they are willing to drag it out until they are fully prepared, and then they will fight the Zerg!
Time flies, and as the sun sets, humans have been logged in the Kola region for nearly ten hours.
"Boom, boom, boom......" Artillery fire sounded one after another around the Kola area, except for the insect swarm in the east that did not attack in a big way, the other three directions felt the pressure from the zerg, and they had to take the initiative to fire and attack the insect swarm.
"The Tunnel Worm is almost there......" Qin Hao secretly pondered in his heart, although the previous planetary bombardment had almost paralyzed the Zerg's underground network, but after ten hours, with the digging ability of the Tunnel Worm, they should have regained control of the underground.
......Sure enough, half an hour later, the ground in the grid's defensive circle cracked, and a tunnel worm poked its head, but this time it didn't attack, but shrank back.
"Squeak ......" With the sound of insects, a large number of giant beetles jumped out of the tunnel, and the power grid could no longer play a defensive role.
Previously, because the power grid could also defend a section of the ground and ordinary giant beetles could not dig too deep, the power grid could effectively block the attack of the giant beetles, but now that the tunnel insects have joined the battlefield, they can bypass the blockade of the power grid from deep underground, and dig a tunnel for the giant beetles to go straight to the back of the power grid.
"Gauss cannon! Concentrate your fire! Knock out those holes! James' roar came.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom ......" followed by the heavy weapons of the 106th Division, these Gauss position guns were very powerful, and a single shell hitting the hole in the tunnel was enough to blow up and fill the tunnel.
"Squeak Squeak...... Before the ordinary giant beetles that had just rushed out of the tunnel could charge, they were torn apart by the shells of the Gauss position cannon, and soon the hole dug by the tunnel worms was filled.
But at this time, James and the entire 106th Division did not dare to relax their vigilance anymore, because it was only the upper part of the tunnel that was blown up, and the tunnel worms had already dug up the hard rock deep underground, so after the surface was blown flat, those giant beetles themselves could dig out new passages again, and there was no need for the tunnel worms to come again.
"Whoa...... "A few minutes later, the ground began to break open piece by piece, and a large number ......of giant beetles rushed out.
"All combatants in place! Get ready for battle! James shouted.
"Yes!" At this time, the soldiers of the 106th Division were already lying behind the trenches, and the electromagnetic rifles in their hands had been loaded, just waiting for the bugs to enter the firing range.
"Hey...... I hope this battle can be won......" Qin Hao sighed behind the crowd, the battle line in the east was still the least dangerous place for him, but even so, the Zerg's attack was so fierce, as for the other three directions, not to mention.
"Squeak squeak...... With the sound of insects, a large number of giant beetles began to charge towards the positions of the 106th Division.
......The electromagnetic rifles of the motorized infantry also opened fire, and a large number of giant beetles were shot and fell to the ground, and then trampled into flesh by their companions behind them, but these insects seemed to have no idea what death was, so they stepped on the corpses of their companions and continued to rush towards the human defense line.
