Chapter 53: A Miracle?
In the rumbling cannon, countless insects were torn apart by the Gauss defense cannon, but the swarm behind them simply turned a blind eye, they stepped on the corpses of their companions and continued to charge, even if they were overturned by the shock wave, they would get up again and continue to advance.
"All ready!"
"Fire!"
After a while, the swarm entered the range of the electromagnetic rifles, and at this time, the motorized infantry in the trench deployed their firepower, although their electromagnetic rifles could not destroy a large number of insects with a single blow like the Gauss defense cannon, but they could use the impact of the bullets to effectively stop the swarm from advancing, and buy time for their teammates to fire.
The strong soldiers in the "Boom Boom Boom ......" bunker were holding individual energy cannons, their muzzles flashed with blue light, and every time the blue light flashed, one or even several giant beetles were blasted into pulp.
The human warriors fought very bravely, and in just a few minutes from the beginning of the battle to now, there were tens of thousands of giant beetles on the battlefield, but even so, James's brows were still furrowed, because there were too many insects, even if the 106th Division was fully firepowered, it would not be able to stop the progress of the insect swarm.
"Why hasn't there been air support yet!" James's forehead was sweating, and if the swarm was allowed to get close to the position, the seemingly impregnable steel defense line would not last long, and the insects would tear through the human defenses with their razor-sharp claws, and then rush into the line to slaughter the fragile human soldiers.
At this time, it was not only James who was anxious, Qin Hao was also anxious, although his combat effectiveness far exceeded that of ordinary soldiers, he never had the ability to fight against ten thousand, and even if he could fight against ten thousand with one, the number of this swarm was more than one million? He can't stop him with his life!
The air support that James was expecting was delayed, because the other three lines of defense were also tight, and their frequency of calling for help was no lower than James's, and the carrier-based pilots in the air were already exhausted, and they had been fighting all night.
You must know that pilots are different from big-headed soldiers, big-headed soldiers can fight with enthusiasm, and can not sleep for days and nights in the case of killing red-eyed, but pilots are different, they fly precision fighters, and every operation is required to be very accurate, if fatigue combat, not only is it inefficient, but it may even accidentally injure friendly soldiers.
Therefore, now the air units of the fleet have to enter a state of rotation, so that air support will inevitably be overstretched.
"Qin Hao, can you find out the other party's commander and then kill it?" James was also in a hurry, and he actually made an impossible request to Qin Hao.
"Commander, the other party is very cunning, I don't know where it is hiding......" Qin Hao frowned, don't say he didn't know, even if he knew, would he be able to kill the silver-horned giant beetle among the millions of insects?
No kidding, in the case of a fair duel, Qin Hao is not the opponent of the Silver Horn Giant Beetle, the last time he was able to kill the Silver Horn, it was completely because of coincidence, coupled with the other party's carelessness, now let him rush into the million insect swarm to kill the Silver Horn Giant Beetle, this is simply like sending him to death!
"Hey......" James sighed, he also knew that his request was a little unrealistic, but what could he do? Seeing that the position was about to be untenable, the only thing he could hope for now was a miracle.
But the question is, will miracles really come?
The answer is – yes!
"Boom!" A pillar of light that destroyed the world fell from the sky!
The violent explosion brought up a huge mushroom cloud, and the pillar of light hit a place twenty kilometers away from the position of the 106th Division, but the strong light it brought still pierced the soldiers of the 106th Division from opening their eyes!
"Boom, boom, boom......" pillars of destruction light descended, and a sea of fire suddenly appeared in front of the 106th Division's position, and hundreds of thousands of insects wailed in the flames, and then died tragically.
The "boom ......" shock wave swept in, and the soldiers of the 106th Division were so shocked that their ears were buzzing even when they were hiding in the trenches.
"! Fleet guys are crazy? Actually engaged in planetary bombing in front of the position?! At this time, James just wants to scold his mother, if there is a slight mistake in this kind of bombing, his 106th Division will not die in the mouth of the worms, and they will all become cannon fodder for their own people!
The planetary bombardment of "Boom Boom Boom ......" appeared not only on the eastern position, but also on the other three sides, and at this time, the Seventh Fleet of the Federation was taking the landing site as the core, carrying out a frenzied bombardment of the surrounding area.
This bombing is not an aerial bomb of a carrier-based aircraft, but a planetary bombing of the main guns of a battleship, and the power of the main guns is no less than that of tactical nuclear bombs!
"Crazy! It's all insane! These psychos, I'm going to go court-martialed to sue them! "Not a single ground commander in the entire Cora region, including James, did not curse his mother, and although the allusion of "shoot at me" was a celebration of heroes, no one wanted it to fall on their heads.
……
"How many swarms have you wiped out?" On the bridge of the flagship USS Federation Glory, Rice asked the adjutant.
"According to the data, the number of bugs destroyed by this planetary bombing is more than three million!" The adjutant reported.
"Three million bugs...... Rice nodded, then asked, "What about our casualties?" ”
"In this battle, our army suffered 75,000 casualties!" The adjutant reported.
"Hmm!" Rice nodded again, but her face was still full of sadness.
Although the casualty ratio of seven to three hundred is already exaggerated, this is not a war between human beings, if it is to suppress bandits or counterinsurgency, this data can already make Raisgar an official, but the problem is that the enemy he is facing now is a group of bugs!
Politicians and the public don't care how powerful those bugs are, they only care about the result, killing millions of bugs will cost 70,000 lives, and Rice obviously can't give an account to the Federation!
"How many of our ground forces are left?" Rice asked suddenly with her head raised.
"In total, there are still 110,000 fighters on the front line in the Kola area." The adjutant reported.
"Eleven thousand......" Rice nodded.
"Hmmm! Of these, there are about 40,000 people left in the northern position, 30,000 in both the western and southern positions, but less than 7,000 in the eastern position. The adjutant gave the detailed data.
"Huh? Who is in command of the eastern position, and why are there so many casualties? Rice was stunned.
"In fact, the casualties in the eastern positions were the smallest, and they only lost a few hundred people." The lieutenant was also stunned by the data in his hand.
"And what about their people? Why is there so much left? Rice asked, because the enemy is a bug, it is impossible to defect, could it be that the people in the eastern position have flown up?
"Uh......" The adjutant said with a shocked face after looking at the data: "The 106th Division defending the eastern position is already dissatisfied, and they actually defeated the Zerg in the previous battle and killed their commander, so they didn't ask for help, so they didn't get reinforcements......"
