Chapter 263: Bombing the pontoon bridge
"This is the USS Federation Glory, where are you?" The voice from the fleet lifted both Nicole and Qin Hao's spirits.
"I'm Lieutenant Nicole! I'm going to talk to my father! Nicole said immediately.
"Okay! Lieutenant Nicole! As soon as the communications officer heard that the other party was his eldest lady, he quickly sent the communication to Lieutenant General Cohen.
"Nicole, what's wrong?" Lieutenant General Cohen immediately asked, he was also closely following the real-time battle near Isis Beach at this time, and it was impossible for the huge swarm not to attract his attention.
"Qin Hao has something to tell you!" After Nicole finished speaking, she connected the communication to Qin Hao's battle armor.
"General, I need an air support!" Qin Hao said.
"Air support?" Lieutenant General Cohen was stunned.
"Yes! And our fighters must enter the atmosphere from the direction of the base, and then release missiles on the south bank of the Koren River! Qin Hao said.
"Hmmm! I know! Lieutenant General Cohen nodded, at this time the north bank of the Coron River has been occupied by the Zerg army, once the carrier-based aircraft enter there, it will definitely be counterattacked by the Zerg Air Force.
……
Soon, a group of carrier-based aircraft set sail for the Seventh Fleet and rushed straight to the Alpha Star, these carrier-based aircraft were mainly bombers, and there were few fighters escorting them, because Qin Hao assured Vice Admiral Cohen that as long as the carrier-based aircraft entered the Alpha Star atmosphere from the Isis Beach side, then they would not be attacked by the Zerg.
Dozens of bombers roared into the atmosphere of Alpha Star in a neat formation, and then rushed straight in the direction of the Coron River, because Prince Naxin was notified by Qin Hao, so the swarm of insects in the entire Isis Beach was all stationary, allowing human fighters to whizz overhead.
Twenty minutes later, the carrier-based formation approached the Coron River, by which time they were able to establish communication with Nicole's Scout Armor.
"Unleash cruise bombs and attack that pontoon! Don't approach the Coron River! "Nicole is constantly giving guidance to these fighters.
"Roger!"
"Attack request accepted!"
"Attack begins!"
……
The bombers began to dive, and then released the cruise missiles they carried, which were equipped with high-explosive warheads with large yields, and the power was terrifying!
"Whoosh Whoosh...... cruise missiles dragged a long wake straight to the pontoon bridge in the distance, and the carrier-based aircraft formation that had completed the attack immediately moved away from the Cologne River and then returned to space.
Although the bomber formation is gone, the cruise missiles they left behind are still rapidly approaching the pontoon!
"It's coming! Here it comes! Seeing a large swarm of cruise missiles approaching the pontoon bridge, Qin Hao's heart also became excited.
But at this time, a large number of flying insects rose from the rear of the swarm, and these flying insects swooped down on the cruise missiles, spraying them with acidic slime to corrode and destroy the projectiles, but the effect did not seem to be very obvious.
"Squeak!" With a shrill chirp, the insects immediately changed their tactics, and instead of spraying slime, they rammed the missile with their bodies.
"Boom, boom, boom......" cruise missiles were detonated in advance, and although a large number of flying insects were killed, they could no longer attack the pontoon bridge in front.
However, fortunately, the number of cruiser missiles dropped by the bomber formation was enough, and although more than half of the nearly 100 cruise missiles were intercepted, dozens of missiles still successfully passed through the blockade of flying insects and reached the sky above the pontoon!
The ......cruise missiles hit the pontoon bridge accurately, and the high-explosive warhead exploded with devastating power after being detonated, and the pontoon composed of countless giant beetles was suddenly blown into several sections.
When the pontoon bridge formed by giant beetles was blown to pieces, the corpses of these insects disappeared in an instant with the turbulent river, and countless insects that were crossing the river also fell into the river and were washed away by the river.
"Yay!" Qin Hao clenched his fist hard, and at the same time, his hanging heart was also relaxed.
"Great! Successfully destroyed! Nicole jumped up excitedly.
This air raid successfully destroyed the pontoon bridge of the insect swarm and slowed down their crossing of the river, which was exactly what Qin Hao wanted.
"Squeak squeak......" Sure enough, after the pontoon bridge was destroyed, the insect swarm in the rear was in chaos, and many giant beetles that rushed to the shore did not have time to stop their footsteps, and were pushed by the insect swarm behind and fell into the turbulent river and were washed into the distance.
The swarms on the north bank of the river were in disarray, and the swarms that had crossed the river before were wandering around because they lost their command, and they were all blown to pieces by the spider mines.
Soon, all the bugs on the south bank of the river were wiped out, and the swarm was trapped on the north bank of the river again.
Two rhythmic chirps rang out from the middle of the squeak ......, and then the swarm moved again, and countless giant beetles rushed into the river without fear of death, and the insects behind them embedded their bodies with their knife feet......
Soon, a pontoon bridge stretched to the south bank, and the organization and execution of the swarm were beyond human imagination.
More than an hour later, the pontoon bridge was broken through again, and the Zerg army resumed crossing the river.
"Qin Hao, should we call for air support again?" Nicole asked.
"This time the swarm must be prepared, if you call air support again, those pilots will be in danger......" Qin Hao shook his head, and then he said to Nicole: "Let the general bomb directly!" ”
"Destroy the entire swarm with planetary bombardment?" Nicole asked.
"No, no, no......" Qin Hao waved his hand again and again, if that was the case, Prince Lane would definitely have to be anxious, Qin Hao couldn't afford that consequence, and even the entire Seventh Fleet might not be able to withstand the anger of this old pervert.
"What then?" Nicole asked.
"All it takes is a frigate to blow up the pontoon bridge with secondary guns." Qin Hao said.
"Why are you going to all this trouble? Simply eradicating this swarm will not be over, then the native swarm will definitely be more grateful to us! Nicole said.
"Hehe, if we easily take out such a large wave of insect swarms, do you think the local insect swarms will appreciate us? I'm afraid they'll all be scared to death, and in order to protect themselves, these guys might have to contact the swarms elsewhere to besiege us! Qin Hao said.
"Are you afraid that all the insect swarms will unite against us, so you hide your strength and just delay the opponent's offensive rhythm?" Nicole asked.
"That's pretty much what it means." Qin Hao couldn't explain too specifically, but fortunately, Nicole trusted him very much, and after hearing this imperfect explanation, he didn't ask any more questions.
Soon, Nicole made contact with the fleet again, and then, under the orders of Vice Admiral Cohen, the frigate Viper rushed forward again, and then locked onto the Zerg pontoon bridge on the Cologne River with its secondary cannon!
