Chapter 54: The Way Back
"What?! This 106th Division actually repelled the attack of the swarm and killed the silverhorn giant beetle?! Rice was taken aback, although he had also received reports about the front line, but his focus was on the other three directions.
Because the battle situation in the three directions of the southwest and north is very tight, and there is a danger of collapse at every moment, Rice's spirit is all used on how to allocate reinforcements, because he has very limited troops at hand, and he must allocate these only forces to the places where they are most needed, so he is not so concerned about those positions that do not need reinforcements very much.
"Yes, General!" The adjutant nodded in confirmation.
"How did they do it?" Rice asked, if he could generalize, maybe he would be able to salvage the situation.
"My lord, it looks like the 106th Division has a former member of the Storm Clan!" The adjutant said with a frown.
"How is that possible! How could a second-line unit have that kind of fighter! Rice didn't believe it at all.
"I don't know exactly what to do, but I just heard Dr. Pommont mention it before......" said the adjutant.
"Quick! Get Dr. Pommont! Rice's eyes lit up.
"Yes!" The adjutant turned and left, and a moment later he led Pommont to the bridge of the flagship.
"General Rice, are you looking for me?" Pommon came to Rice, who was not a soldier, so he was not as restrained as the soldiers in front of the supreme commander of the Seventh Fleet.
"Dr. Pang, some people say that you mentioned that the 106th Division has a former member of the Storm Clan, is this true?" Rice was still very polite to Pommont.
"Well, while he didn't admit it himself, I'm almost certain that he must have been trained by the Storm Clan." Pommon nodded.
"Can you tell me more about that?" Rice was clearly very interested in this.
"Absolutely!" Pommont nodded, and then said to Rice: "I met him on the battlefield of Alpha Star, when my transport plane crashed, he saved me, you should have an impression." ”
"That soldier named Qin Hao?" Rice asked, he didn't pay too much attention to Qin Hao at the beginning, if he knew that he was a member of the former Storm Clan, then Rice must have kept him by his side, even if it was a personal bodyguard, how could he send this kind of super soldier to the ground battlefield, it was simply overkill.
"Yes!" Pommon nodded.
"Are you sure?" Rice asked.
"Basically, it's certain that I was once on Earth and had contact with several members of the Storm Clan because of a secret project, and Qin Hao's fighting techniques were very similar to those people!" Pommont said.
"Hmm!" Rice nodded.
"General Rice, is there anything else you want to ask?" Pommont asked, he still had the experiment on hand to finish, and if Rice was fine, he would like to go back to the experiment.
"Not yet." Rice said.
"I think you'd better transfer Qin Hao away from the ground battlefield, he's really condescending there!" Pang Meng said a good word to Qin Hao when he left, after all, he had promised Qin Hao before that he would help him get a paper order, and he was indeed communicating with the people of the Ministry of Military Affairs these days, but because of the stalemate on the ground battlefield, the order has not been issued, and today he has the opportunity to meet Rice, just through him.
"Hmmm! I'll think about it! Rice smiled, and Pommont left the bridge and returned to his lab.
After Pang Meng left, Rice immediately said to the adjutant: "Send a landing ship immediately to bring that Qin Hao back to me!" ”
"Okay! Checkmate! The adjutant agreed, and then went to make arrangements.
Here Rice tapped his fingers on the armrest of the chair as he began to think about it.
Judging from the current situation, the Alpha Star landing battle can basically be regarded as a failure, and he Rice will inevitably become the scapegoat of politicians, and the lower field has become inevitable, but Rice does not want to give up his career.
But it's impossible to save the war, so what he has to think about now is how to make a comeback!
Originally, a general like Rice, who went into the field with a major black spot on his back, generally had no chance to be reactivated, but now Qin Hao's appearance provided him with an opportunity!
The Storm Troopers have a very special position in the Federation, they are special forces directly under the president, specializing in some unconventional tasks, so that although these guys may not have a high military rank, the people they come into contact with are first-class members of the government or the military, and they may even have a life-saving grace for some important personnel.
So these members of the Storm Squad basically have an extremely large network of contacts, and if they can help Rice talk in front of the president or congressmen, then he may really be able to make a comeback!
Although Qin Hao may be a member of the Storm Clan who was sent down because of a mistake, he may have offended the big guys, but being able to save his life shows that he has a deep background, after all, there are more people who quietly disappear after offending the big guys.
Although Rice is not sure if this Qin Hao can help him, but find a way for himself, why not do it, anyway, he doesn't need to pay anything.
……
At this moment, Qin Hao was fighting bravely on the front line to kill the enemy, although the planetary bombardment of the fleet eliminated a large number of bugs, but because the bombing point and the position were too close, the shock wave also destroyed a large number of fortifications, which led to the time when the Zerg made a comeback, and the pressure on the 106th Division was even greater!
The effect of the planetary bombardment only brought less than two hours of respite to the 106th Division, and the Zerg attacked again, because the fortifications on the periphery had been destroyed, so this time the Zerg army easily broke through the outermost blockade, and began to storm the positions of the 106th Division, under their fangs and claws, the human fortress was so fragile, and the swarm of insects all over the mountains was enough to make them into ruins in an instant.
"Kill!" Qin Hao was armed with an insect arm bone knife to intercept the giant beetles that had slipped through the net near a fortress, preventing them from rushing into the defense line to kill the soldiers who had lost their cover.
After several hours of fighting, Qin Hao's body was covered with sweat at this time, the giant beetles that died under his knife were already countless, the ground under Qin Hao's feet had been corroded by insect blood, and the pitted ground was full of broken insect corpses.
The roar of the "Buzz ......" carrier-based aircraft came, making Qin Hao even think that he had heard it wrong, because the position of the 106th Division had not seen any support for more than a day!
The "boom, boom, boom, boom ......" carrier-based aircraft dropped a large number of aerial bombs, and the carpet bombing completely baptized the positions in front of the 106th Division, completely destroying the swarm besieging the 106th Division, so that the 106th Division would be able to breathe for at least about an hour by the next swarm attack.
