Chapter 391: A Victory Is Needed
What Xie Haotian didn't know was that this was not the treasure that Dean found in the giant python's lair at all, it was accidentally discovered by Dean in an ancient ruin before, and Dean didn't know what this thing was for, every time he stared at the crystal skeleton, his whole mind seemed to be sucked into by the crystal skeleton, and he was so scared that Dean didn't dare to use it again.
After getting the virtual real mirror, Dean wanted to use the virtual real mirror to identify the crystal skeleton, but found that the crystal skeleton was worth 5,000 points, which really scared Dean.
But Dean had secretly decided to visit the ancient ruins again, and maybe find more good things.
When Dean found out that the crystal skeleton was worth 5,000 points, he considered whether to take out the crystal skeleton and sell it to Xie Haotian, but the crystal skeleton was of no use to Dean at all, and he didn't know if it would affect Dean, so after thinking about it, he decided to sell it to Xie Haotian.
Xie Haotian naturally didn't know the crystal skeleton, but it was the first time he had seen such a high-scoring item, and he found that the crystal skeleton seemed to have a great impact on people's spirits, and he didn't dare to do any experiments.
At this time, on another battlefield thousands of miles away, thousands of insects of various types were besieging a human army, this army was Zuo Gangchen's independent first division, which had just been formed less than three days ago, and encountered a vanguard of the Zerg tribe on the outskirts of Sanyuan City.
Naturally, the two sides will not have any good theories, and as soon as they meet, they will enter a white-hot level.
The Zerg side did not occupy any advantage, and even at the beginning, because they did not find out the strength of Zuo Gangchen's First Independent Division, they suffered a lot of losses.
The Zerg who reacted immediately dispersed, surrounded Zuo Gangchen's 1st Independent Division in the middle, and used sneak attacks and harassment tactics to drag this army, and a steady stream of Zerg reinforcements were rushing towards this side.
Zuo Gangchen was a little depressed, it was the first time for him to conduct a large-scale battle with the Zerg, and he didn't know how the Zerg fought at all, and he knew very little about how the Zerg acted.
Of course, this is not Zuo Gangchen's fault, human beings don't know about the Zerg in the first place, and there is not even a precedent for a large-scale victory over the Zerg, only that the cooperation between the Zerg is very perfect, and there will be no mistakes made by humans at all.
Zuo Gangchen rushed from Xianyang City to Sanyuan City four hours ago, and the reason why he did not go directly to Weinan City was because there were still troops stationed in Sanyuan City before, and now that the army had left, Zuo Gangchen wanted to pass through Sanyuan City to see if there were any good things that could be taken by him.
Unexpectedly, before arriving in Sanyuan City, the Zerg had already begun to attack the satellite cities around Xi'an, which caught Zuo Gangchen a little off guard.
The First Independent Division has just been formed less than three days ago, and the number of people who have been patchwork together is less than six thousand, except for some separated soldiers, many of them are temporary recruits, and they don't even have the simplest training.
Zuo Gangchen didn't believe that an army without training could resist the attack of the Zerg, and after notifying Lu Tianyu, he immediately adopted a defensive posture, arranging veterans with combat experience on the periphery, and putting the recruits who had just joined the army in the innermost, completely with a turtle shell combat strategy.
Facts have proved that Zuo Gangchen is indeed very commanding, after giving the Zerg a head-on blow, the Zerg immediately turned from a frontal attack to harassment everywhere, if Zuo Gangchen did not do a good defensive strategy, this newly established army collapsed.
Zuo Gangchen did not think about using the quantum teleporter to send the First Independent Division back to the base, but in this way, the army that has not experienced the baptism of artillery fire and blood will not be able to rise in the real tempering of blood and fire.
"Make sure this army goes through a battle of the right intensity!"
This is Zuo Gangchen's thoughts, although those recruits can't even hold their guns when they see the fierce insects, but who doesn't start with recruits?
"Don't skimp on bullets and ammunition, pay attention to your surroundings, and be careful about the ground under your feet and the ...... above your head."
After the Zerg descended on the earth, the human army was defeated and retreated in the battle against the Zerg, and many people did not understand very well why the tens of millions of human troops were so unbearable, and even the Zerg could not stop it.
When Zuo Gangchen was on Black Reef Island, he also watched a lot of battles between the human army and the Zerg, and found that the Zerg's offensive was very fierce, and almost every charge could penetrate the defense line of the human army. It feels like encountering a powerful and fast mobile war machine composed of soldiers head-on, so that ordinary soldiers can't react at all, this is no longer a gap that ordinary soldiers can make up for with blood and courage, it is more like the collision between ancient cold weapon soldiers across time and space and modern armies, if there is no electromagnetic weapon provided by Lu Tianyu and an army that is five or six times the number of bugs to support, I am afraid that even the Zerg will not be able to resist a charge.
Now Zuo Gangchen's cultivation is only in the early stage of the intermediate level, but there are already many fourth- and fifth-level insects in the Zerg army, and the most inferior ones are also second- and third-level, and there is not a single ordinary insect, although the number of insects is only more than a thousand, but the comprehensive strength has far exceeded the first independent division led by Zuo Gangchen.
Since the First Independent Division had only been established for three days, five or six thousand soldiers had not yet begun to be injected with the strengthening of the gene, so usually five or six soldiers could not kill a single bug, but could easily be killed by bugs.
Zuo Gangchen knew that he must not mess with himself now, otherwise the collapsed army could only be rations in the mouths of insects.
Zuo Gangchen was waiting, waiting for Lu Tianyu to send an army to meet him before the insect reinforcements arrived, and he still needed to hold on for at least three hours after calculating the time.
Tens of thousands of high-explosive mines were planted in front of the battle array, which would be detonated as soon as the bugs approached, but the bugs seemed to be familiar with this tactic of humans, and would send low-level bugs to mine in front, and then the high-level bugs behind would step on the corpses of low-level bugs.
Because the bugs changed the strategy of attacking, the electromagnetic launch vehicle in Zuo Gangchen's hand was almost useless, and the miniature electromagnetic cannon could not lock on to the figure of the medium bug, and it often took more than a dozen mass bullets to kill a bug.
In the interval between the charging of the miniature electromagnetic cannon, the bugs are already close to the position, but fortunately, there are still many plasma grenades, although this indiscriminate weapon cannot kill medium bugs, but it can delay the speed of bug attacks, and the bugs that have been electrocuted will be paralyzed for a short time, so that soldiers have time to attack bugs.
Zuo Gangchen kept shrinking the defensive line, maximizing the effect of the weapon in his hand, although he wasted a lot of ammunition, but also successfully delayed the speed of the Zerg's attack.
But the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and Zuo Gangchen doesn't know if he can take this newly formed army out of a desperate situation.
Zuo Gangchen found that when the army was formed, the plan to painstakingly win over some members of the search team played a mainstay effect. Although the members of the search team had not experienced large-scale battles, they were extremely high-quality and experienced in many battles, and they maintained the crumbling morale of the army from rushing around to fight fires.
Many members of the search team were promoted to officer posts by Zuo Gangchen's firing line, helping to stabilize the morale of the army while teaching combat skills and calming down the panicked emotions.
With the power of example, many recruits knew that there was no way out, and fought to the death with the determination to die.
As soon as a devourer came out of the ground behind the defensive line, it was desperately blocked by dozens of soldiers, and a soldier rushed into the devourer's mouth with explosives to detonate the bomb, and died with the devourer.
On the other side, after more than an hour of rapid marching, more than 800 people of the guard regiment led by Daniel Zhang rushed to the entrance of the West Village Interchange in the southern suburbs of Sanyuan City, less than a kilometer away from the place where Zuo Gangchen was besieged by the Zerg, and encountered the attack of hundreds of bugs.
Lu Tianyu originally wanted to take Daniel Zhang's guard regiment into the array space, and then directly appear in Zuo Gangchen's defensive position, and then put Zuo Gangchen's first independent division into the array space, out of the encirclement of the Zerg.
The advantage of this is to reduce the casualties of the army, but there is also an unavoidable problem, that is, because of the avoidance of war, the newly formed army will lack the opportunity to temper.
Zuo Gangchen's suggestion was to let the newly formed army go through a tempering of blood and fire as much as possible before the Zerg's backup arrived on the battlefield.
Lu Tianyu thinks that Zuo Gangchen's suggestion is good, although the First Independent Division and the Guard Regiment have only just been established, and they have no experience in actual combat, but any strong army is not achieved overnight, if they often use the array space, it will leave a very bad impression on the army, and it will be difficult to raise the determination to fight to the death.
Therefore, Lu Tianyu asked the guard regiment to rescue Zuo Gangchen's First Independent Division by himself, while he went around to the southernmost part of the battlefield to investigate the arrival time of the Zerg backup.
Although Daniel Zhang's guard regiment was established at about the same time as Zuo Gangchen's First Independent Division, the strength of the two is very different, the number of awakened people in the guard regiment is as high as one-third, and the soldiers are even all veterans with combat experience, and they have the ability to crush the small number of bugs, and the only thing missing is the determination and will to defeat the zerg head-on.
"We have more than eight hundred people, one-third of the Awakened, equipped with the most advanced electromagnetic weapons, can't we defeat a comparable number of bugs?"
Daniel Zhang mobilized before the war and said: "This battle will be won!" ”
"Victory!"
"Victory!"
Listening to the oath below, Daniel Zhang was slightly moved, he was originally a lieutenant, this is still thanks to the recruitment of a large number of recruits, originally thought that he would soon become cannon fodder on the front line, who knew that the Zerg suddenly attacked Xi'an, and there was a rebellion in the army, the soldiers did not know who to listen to, and then they were coerced and retreated into the city, and met Lu Tianyu in a daze, but did not expect to be promoted by Lu Tianyu to the head of the guard regiment, suddenly promoted two levels, and finally awakened the ability with the help of Lu Tianyu, Lu Tianyu can be described as a grace of reinvention for Daniel Zhang.
Daniel Zhang looked at the soldiers under his command, sorted out his mood and said seriously: "This is the first battle since the formation of our guard regiment, I don't know why the Zerg invaded the earth, but I know one thing, this is our home, the earth where our ancestors have lived for generations, and we have no ...... to retreat." ”
"Our enemies are very powerful, they have a body and strength far beyond the earthlings, they are not afraid of death, they are well-organized, but they cannot change the nature of the invaders, they are pests, they are murderers of earthlings, they are the destroyers of humanity, they are the embodiment of violence, they are the trumpeters of the end of the earth!"
"But we are soldiers, heavily armed guardians of human civilization, and if we can't resist them, what will happen to the unarmed civilians we guard?"
"This is an invasion of the alien race, not just a question of who survives, but an unavoidable problem for the whole world, we must stop the invasion of the alien race, rescue our compatriots and comrades-in-arms at all costs, and stop the alien race for the countless innocent civilians behind us."
"Everyone!" Daniel Zhang's blood boiled when he said it, and he raised his arms high and said loudly: "We must win this battle!" ”
"Fight for our dead compatriots!"
"Fight for all who are alive!"
"Fight for the honor of soldiers, fight for human civilization, fight for our relatives, wives and children!"
All the soldiers stood up, waved their arms and shouted: Fight for the honor of the soldiers, fight for human civilization, fight for our relatives, wives and children!
At this moment, no matter who it is, whether they know it or not, they are all enthusiastic when facing the alien race.
The great sense of responsibility and mission makes them the driving force to move forward, and also makes them no longer afraid of death and war!
Seeing this scene, Daniel Zhang knew that he was half of the success, at least he would not be timid because he saw the Zerg, it would be a vigorous battle, maybe it could go down in history!
Although the guard regiment is only more than 800 people, but the momentum at this moment is not much different from tens of thousands of people, and the first independent division led by Zuo Gangchen is different, Daniel Zhang's guard regiment is already very similar to the Zerg who are not afraid of death in terms of individual combat strength and weapons and equipment, and now Daniel Zhang's thoughts are similar to Zuo Gangchen, and they all hope that there will be a victory to wash away the lead of this army, and use a huge sense of honor to become the driving force for this army to move forward!
