Chapter 23: Attacking the Hive (5)

"Recall the map scanned by the radar, and restore communication with the base?"

"The signal is vague, and we found a source of interference in the valley, presumably made by some kind of bug."

"Radar data has been uploaded, please receive it to the commander."

The dynamic map of Red Flame Valley was presented in front of Ji Tianping, and it was estimated that more than 6,000 insect swarms had spread from the middle of Red Flame Valley to the end of Red Flame Valley, and the insects were still rushing forward.

"Commander, the intelligent command system analyzes that these swarms are the troops sent by our destination hive." In the war conference room on the transport plane, a cold mechanical voice sounded.

Ji Tianping muttered in his heart: "More than six thousand swarms of insects that came out of the worm nest...... That is to say, at this time, the guard strength of the hive is less than 10,000, only a few thousand insects. Dry! We must not allow these bugs to escape from the Valley of the Red Flame. Change the support plan, let's stop the back of the bugs and wipe them all out in the Red Flame Valley! ”

"To Renault and ....... The army at the Copper Furnace Base informed us of our battle plan, and asked them to block the path of the swarm and help us destroy them all. “

"In addition, a medical transport plane will be assigned to support Renault and let them tie up the stimulants."

........................

"Where's the Air Force bastards?"

"Show off and leave?"

The soldiers cursed, but they still hoped that the air force bosses would change their minds, and the weapons in their hands kept firing at the fastest speed. Only Renault and the commander of the 1st Battalion and the commander of the copper furnace base, Pinott, knew what big moves the Marines were going to make.

Pinault: "The commander of the watch base is really big-hearted, and he actually wants to eat these bugs in one bite. However, the tactics were correct, and it was better to wipe out the swarm in this narrow terrain than to bring in an encounter in an open field. ”

"Then return to the commander of the watch base, after annihilating this swarm force, the two armies will converge, and we will fight side by side to eliminate the hive. In addition, let the tank battalion be ready to go up for fire support at any time, I am afraid that the first battalion will not be able to withstand the frenzied assault of the swarm. ”

The Copper Furnace Base Commander's concern was almost true, if it weren't for the fact that a medical transport plane was assigned to the location of Renault's team, providing medical support to the Marines and allowing them to prick up the stimulants without hesitation. When these stimulants are injected into the bloodstream through a specialized drug delivery system, the Marines' attack levels, reactivity and morale increase significantly.

"Hey, look at those guys in armor, they're crazy." The Combine soldier whispered.

The Marines' firepower didn't get any more ferocious, because the rate of fire of the Spike Rifles was there. However, the shooting efficiency of the marines has improved a lot, and they are no longer in a labor-saving combat posture, but so powerful that they pick up their spike rifles and aim at them, and the strong recoil is also forcefully resisted (it can be understood that the recoilless hanging is opened). Every hot, hot spike bullet rushes to the most fragile part of the bug's body.

The Marines withstood the advance of the swarm of the central line, greatly relieving the pressure on the left and right flanks.

...........................

"The bugs seem to have discovered our intentions? It's late, marines, landing! Lay out the line of defense, we will not retreat! ”

Before the swarm could react, Ji Tianping and the Marines blocked the exit at the end of the Red Flame Valley at an extremely fast speed. The canyon itself is not wide, and can only pass through forty or fifty people at the same time. Hundreds of marines went to this block, finding a position where they could match high and low firepower and lay out a line.

"Marines, do you see? The bugs are scared because we've blocked their way home! They're finished, but they still want to fight to the death, fight the trapped beasts, and kill all these poor creatures! Fire freely, whatever you want, nail bullets or burn them, in short, send them to hell! ”

From the very beginning, the Marines were injected with stimulants, relying on the blessing of medical transport planes, and the ferocious fire caused the swarm to panic. The swarm even gave up on the assault on the Marines blocking the retreat, instead concentrating their forces to break through in the direction of the 1st Battalion and Renault.

"Doctors, sisters, please inform Renault and the combined forces of the copper furnace base, the swarm is likely to increase the intensity of the assault in the direction where they are next, please be careful, and please be sure to hold on, this is the last madness of the swarm troops."

Ji Tianping also ordered the marines: "Keep the formation moving forward and chase down the swarm!" Compress their space. Without mercy! ”

The doctors' sisters flew the transport plane higher before relaying Ji Tianping's announcement to Renault and the Combine.

Renault: "Well, it doesn't matter, as the old saying goes, the denser the grass, the easier it is to cut." ”

Commander of the 1st Battalion: "MMP. ”

Pinault: "w(゚Д゚)w." “

But the combined forces at the copper furnace base finally did not drop the chain at a critical moment. The chariot battalion had arrived at the front line, and Pinault had taken out his trump card troops as a blockade at the beginning, not wanting to have a hearty decisive victory. Under the ideal terrain and ideal force contrast, the front and rear flanks are attacked, echoing from end to end. If you can stick to it, it will be a hearty victory.

...........................

At the last moment, it was the fire of the tank battalion that withstood the madness of the swarm. Pioneer combat vehicles, the few "heavy" fire support of the poor Combine. The powerful cannon can shoot through most bugs, and it has the effect of killing three birds with one stone when shooting basic bugs such as reptiles.

The final battle of the trapped beasts of the swarm failed. The Combine and the main forces of the Marines converged, and the deformed reptilian brain covered with the eardrum also appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

"It's this monster, we can't even call the transport plane above our heads now, it's all blocked."

"Kill it!" Ji Tianping roared.

"No, no, no," Pinault stopped by shaking his head, "we're going to have to get it back and study it." “

Ji Tianping: "The insect swarm is full of tricks, and maybe it will cause some messy disasters." It's better to blow it up with one shot. “

Pinault still insisted on his assertion: "We now need to analyze the structure of these bugs, especially the ones that appear to be intelligent." We know too little about the swarm, which is why we have lost the war against the swarm again and again. “

Ji Tianping nodded and said: "Okay, if you insist, then I won't say much, just bear the consequences, our base is full of reckless people now, and there are no biologists, so I'll leave it to you." But we don't have time to continue greetings, and with each additional second, the hive hatches more bugs. I now need your tank battalion and my medical transport planes to form a fast force and quickly launch an assault on the hive. “

"A non-stop attack, like lightning."
