Xu Cheng, as a captain officer, was directly promoted to major officer after being assigned, and was directly asked to lead a motorized infantry regiment.

"Sir, your troops are currently in rest, and I will take you to the troop station." A young officer was happily waiting for Xu Cheng at the door of the conference room.

Xu Cheng felt very familiar when he heard the voice, and glanced back, coincidentally, it happened to be the protagonist Rick in the movie.

"Sir, I have just been promoted to sergeant and become your adjutant." Rick looked like he was happy, "I really didn't expect you, everyone thought you were dead, and we're so happy to know that you're still alive!" ”

But Xu Cheng didn't have the heart to be happy, and without saying a few words, he directly asked Rick to take him to the station.

The stationing of the troops leaned against the majestic steel wall, and after Xu Cheng arrived, the soldiers who were resting in the marching tent came out of the tent one by one to look at Xu Cheng.

Seeing that most of these soldiers were cheering with relaxed faces to welcome Xu Cheng's return, Xu Cheng's heart suddenly swelled with a nameless fire, the big war was imminent, and these people were still as relaxed as the uncle.

didn't say anything good, Xu Cheng, who had a cold face, scolded angrily: "What are you doing? Why is everyone so relaxed? Do you think that fighting on the planet Krandav is as easy as traveling around Saturn's outer ring?! ”

All the soldiers were cursed, including Rick.

"Uh... Colonel, we've only been back to Tillivere for half a day, and we'll need some time to buffer. Rick explained quietly.

"Don't tell me this, soldier, I, as your commander, was lying on a stretcher half an hour ago, being helped by a medical officer, and when I entered the base, I was called directly to the officers' meeting, and I haven't rested a moment until now! And you, you as soldiers, my soldiers!! should have stronger willpower!! Xu Cheng said impassionedly, but he didn't have much confidence in his heart, if he wasn't afraid that these guys wouldn't even be equipped when the insects killed, he wouldn't have bothered to say these things.

"From now on, I want you to keep your equipment in the best possible condition at all times, and everyone must be able to equip themselves in thirty seconds, you see?!!? Bugs can attack at any time!! Xu Cheng shouted so much that he felt that his voice was a little hoarse.

"Yes, sir!!" All the soldiers replied to Xu Cheng in a solemn manner.

In the federal army of this era, soldiers were still not allowed to disobey or ignore the orders of their commanders or be hanged, so no soldier would fail to obey orders, even if he did not want to.

Xu Cheng took Rick to the fortress wall by elevator, looking at the desolate desert plain in the distance, a large area of black pressure insects was rushing over, but there were several outposts near the fortress that were resisting the insects. But the effect was not great, and the remaining bugs were just a drop in the ocean for the entire Zerg army that rushed over.

The soldiers in the outpost did not last long, basically after a batch of nuclear bombs were launched, there would be a small transport ship with the soldiers to leave the outpost, and whenever at this time, there would be many plasma bugs to launch plasma shells, under the dense and powerful plasma barrage, there were only a few small transport ships that successfully returned to the war fortress, and most of the transport ships were blown up in the air.

Seeing this scene, Xu Cheng couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, the high-tech flying ship was so vulnerable at this moment!!

The terrifying Zerg army beat the originally confident Federation army and could only shrink into the fortress of war and be beaten passively, which has to be said to be in great contrast to the confidence on the faces of those officers at the beginning.

"The distance between the outpost and Tillyvir is only a few dozen kilometers, and it will take more than forty minutes for the vanguard of the Zerg to reach Tillyville's army.

At the same time, looking up at the sky, a small transport plane flew back to the war fortress, and at the same time, the war alarm sounded, Xu Cheng and Rick hurriedly returned to the army to put on their equipment, and when they returned to the army, they found that everyone was ready.

"Major, you lead your 5th Motorized Infantry Regiment to defend areas 3-4 of the Western Sector Wall." Xu Cheng got an order on the display screen of his helmet, and this place happened to be the wall of the area where the troops were stationed.

After receiving the news, Xu Cheng hurriedly ordered everyone to go up to the top of the wall, and the defensive weapons deployed on the wall part could already be seen from the top of the wall.

Bugs swept in the distance like a black tide.

"Oh, damn it, the instructor didn't tell me when I joined the army that I would meet this !!"

"Oh my God, please give me a chance to live....."

Many soldiers made such sounds, Xu Cheng didn't say anything about them, and he himself was deeply shocked.

10,000 people are like a tide, which makes people feel majestic, while 10,000 insects only make people feel helpless. At present, this boundless tide of insects is like a tide, and I don't know how many tens of thousands of insect tides are combined, which makes people feel small.

Many of the soldiers were so shocked that they froze in place.

Xu Cheng opened the task interface and looked at the remaining time, there were still twenty-three hours!! The Zerg has not yet rushed to the attack range, Xu Cheng took the time to look at other things in the task interface, and found that he had killed 109 ordinary bugs, and at the same time obtained 109 bonus points, it seems that every ordinary bug killed will have a little reward point, and now it is equivalent to he has obtained one-tenth of the reward points of an experience, but Xu Cheng did not feel how happy he was.

After calculating that there is still about a full day of training, I don't know if I will die unexpectedly during this time, for these reward points, no matter how good it is, what can I do, not to mention whether I can do it, even if it can be exchanged for gold and silver treasures, I have to have my life to get it!

One after another, the combat aircraft threw the bombs into the insect swarm, setting off bursts of skyrocketing fire, although killing a large number of insects, but still could not stop the advance of the Zerg army.

Fifteen minutes later, tens of thousands of flying insects took the lead in attacking the defenders on the wall of the western district, the anti-aircraft guns on the wall, and the rifles of the infantry wiped out tens of thousands of insects in one fell swoop, and only two people of the Fifth Motorized Infantry Regiment led by Xu Cheng died, and the rest of the soldiers were unharmed.

The initial victory boosted everyone's morale, but when they saw the boundless insect tide in the distance, the soldiers' newly surging self-confidence was pressed to the ground and rubbed repeatedly.

After a brief preparation, the vanguard on the ground of the bugs reached within range. Everyone pulled the trigger in unison, and one by one the officers loudly emphasized to their subordinates to conserve ammunition while using their scopes to kill insects as accurately as possible.

Some of these officers were appointed by Xu Cheng on a temporary basis, and each officer was chosen spontaneously by the soldiers, which was not necessarily entirely fair, but it ensured that, by and large, these officers could be qualified to drive their subordinates and issue combat orders.

Although the Zerg army was being killed at a speed close to slaughter every second, the bugs still maintained the speed of stepping on the corpses of their companions, and this almost unreasonable bug sea tactics made all the soldiers feel powerless, feeling that nothing could stop the bugs from moving forward.

Worms step on the corpses of their companions and stab their sharp feet into the walls of the city at a very slow speed, and the hardness of the metal of the walls is often killed before they can make a hole. But the insects behind will step on its corpse and continue to climb, and the result is that one after another worms have built a mountain of corpses with their own corpses, and this corpse mountain has been growing.

At the same time, more flying insects swooped down from the sky and swooped down on the soldiers who were fighting the insects on the wall.

In the blink of an eye, many soldiers who did not pay attention to the sky were taken away by the sudden sneak attack of flying insects, and these unfortunate soldiers were either bitten in two or thrown outside the wall, and in an instant they were reduced to pieces of steel and flesh.

"Colonel! Damn, our brothers have lost fifty-two in just half an hour, and there are so many bugs that they can't be guarded against! "Rick, as Xu Cheng's adjutant, is reporting the battle damage to Xu Cheng.

Xu Cheng couldn't help but have a big head, it was only half an hour, and these well-trained soldiers had been reduced by half a wing, and now there were twenty-two hours and thirty-two minutes left before the end of the mission!

"Tell the soldiers, according to the squad level, two squads are a group, one squad uses grenades to blow up the corpse mountain of these bugs, and at the same time orderly block the Zerg troops below, and the other squad cooperates with anti-aircraft artillery fire to clean up the flying insects in the sky!" Xu Cheng issued the order helplessly.

Flying insects are really a headache, and until now, all the deaths of fifty-two soldiers have been caused by those flying insects.

"Yes, I'll forward the order right away!!" After Rick saluted, he hurriedly issued Xu Cheng's order over the radio to all officers above the squad level.

At the same time, Xu Cheng received an order from the command of the Tillyville Motorized Infantry Regiment to take command of the 6th Motorized Infantry Regiment in the adjacent jurisdiction, and the reason told Xu Cheng was that the commander of the 6th Motorized Infantry Regiment had unfortunately been killed by flying bugs while inspecting the battle.

Helpless, Xu Cheng could only accept the order head-on.

Open the ground defense area of the 6th Mobile Infantry Regiment to deploy, and the two troops are defending in roughly the same direction, but due to the special position of the 6th Mobile Infantry Regiment, the attack received is more fierce than Xu Cheng's here!

When Xu Cheng took over the 6th Mobile Infantry Regiment, their casualties were already as high as 123!! It was more than half of the total casualties of the troops led by Xu Cheng.

The battle had only been fought for more than half an hour, and the troops in Xu Cheng's hands had reached about 4,000!! In the midst of this, Xu Cheng gradually discovered why the loss rate of officers in the federal army was so high.

The federal government on Earth is a federated political entity made up of veterans. In this system, military personnel are given a very high social status and enjoy the citizenship and other privileges that many people covet.

It is precisely because of this that many people, especially young people, aspire to join the army, and the braver and more motivated the soldier, the easier it is to be promoted to official positions, and the more likely it is to die.

For example, in the past half an hour, nearly forty of the more than 4,000 people under his command have been awarded the rank of corporal to second lieutenant, but the number of dead officers is as high as forty-two, you must know that the total number of dead people is only about 180!

Compared to the army of the earth, the speed of such an officer is really abnormal, although most of these ranks are orally awarded by a higher level of officers, but in view of the current shortage of officers, Xu Cheng has no doubt that if this group of people has a chance to survive, they will all be promoted by the Federation.

"Major! We need to fight!! You should be at the forefront of the battle to motivate all the soldiers, and everyone is wondering if the commander of Tillyville is going to leave us and run away... Sir, in fact, I have a friend who is serving in Starfleet and is on a starship in outer space on the planet Klandaff, and she told me that just now the Federation starship in the War Fortress just now requested to take off, on the grounds that the Supreme Commander of Tillyville was worried that there would be too many Zerg on the ground, and in order to ensure that the starship could operate normally when the army was evacuated, he requested a temporary return to outer space. After listening to Rick's words, Xu Cheng didn't scold this general bastard, and at the same time opened the task interface to check the time, there were still twenty-two hours before the end of the trial.

"Fuck, it's been so long!" Xu Cheng looked at the time and couldn't help but say.

"Rick, we have to fight hard to survive, and this news must be suppressed, otherwise the troops will collapse before the bugs rush up!" Xu Cheng looked at Rick in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, thanks to this guy, otherwise his current situation would be even more difficult.

"I now appoint you as a captain, you can command my guard wing, go ahead, find those who shake the morale of the army, catch them and shoot them directly, the battle situation is tense, we can't allow these wastes and idiots to gradually disintegrate the cohesion of the troops, absolutely not!! Rick, my troops are in need of elites like you, and I hope you don't let me down. Xu Cheng patted Rick on the shoulder, then grabbed his rifle and rushed to the 6th Motorized Infantry Regiment not far away.

"Sir!! Aren't you going to take some soldiers with you? Rick asked via radio communication. No, you can lead the team to complete my orders. Xu Cheng replied.

Xu Cheng has more important things, now the flying insects are gradually suppressed, and under Xu Cheng's strategy, these flying insects are quickly killed. For the time being, the insects on land could not climb over the nearly 100-meter-high wall. Therefore, this period of time is particularly important, Xu Cheng can't allow the starship to take off, his mission is to survive on the planet Klandav for three days, if everything is normal, once the starship takes off, it will represent the withdrawal of the troops, and then in order to complete the task, he can only stay in the war fortress, and when a large number of insects enter the war fortress, I am afraid that he will not be able to hide even if he wants to.

Just when Xu Cheng was rushing to find a way to do it, the wall shook violently and the sound of dense explosions sounded, looking at the back of the wall, a large number of plasma shells are pouring into the wall, most of the plasma shells are hitting the wall, but there are always some shells on the higher side, sometimes, some soldiers can't dodge, and they are hit by plasma shells and turn into ash in an instant, so you don't have to think about it to know that the troops will lose a lot of combat effectiveness.

The constant shaking of the wall, as well as all kinds of sirens, cries for help, wails, and the terrifying sea of insects outside the wall, all made Xu Cheng feel a little bit of peace of mind.

It had only been since the battle had just begun, and the number of casualties among the troops was terrifyingly high, and Xu Cheng could not imagine whether the army would be able to hold out for the next 20 hours or so.
