Chapter 25: Simple Air-Ground Synergy
Phase 1.
The Panda fighter tossed and turned in the air, dodging round after round of Spore Turrets and Screaming Mantis blade insect attacks, and flew towards the Marines' positions. At this time, Ji Tianping had already ordered the marines to divide into more than a dozen combat squads, and deployed the medical transport plane in the rear position to prevent the Screaming Mantis's blade insect ejection from causing a large number of group casualties.
Protecting medical transport aircraft is at the heart of tactics.
The Screaming Mantis enters the firing range of the Spike Rifle.
"Fire, fire freely! Don't let the Screaming Mantis threaten our transport planes. “
Screaming mantis swooped through the air with a furious cacophony and unheard screams. Ji Tianping and all the marines kept an eye on them, not letting them cross the line of defense. The Screaming Mantis's blade worms wounded one Marine after another, but luckily humans had medical transport planes, and as long as the Marines were rolling on the ground in pain, they could be rehabilitated.
The afterglow of the setting sun under the stars casts everything in a soft dark brown.
Ji Tianping had this time to describe the beautiful scenery in front of him, mostly because he was in a good mood when reinforcements arrived.
A thunderous roar from a modified version of the Pioneer vehicle (125mm gun) (cannon to fight mosquitoes?) Make Renault's Marine armor rattle as he came to support. As always, he led the charge, at the forefront of the battle, advancing in the direction of the swarm.
After the Panda fighter escaped the pursuit of the screaming mantis, Su Lin flew the fighter plane and did a roll, and immediately faced these flying monsters again, ready to teach them a lesson.
Ji Tianping's voice suddenly entered the platform: "Su Lin, please answer when you receive it, please be cautious about using your missiles, there are still large swarm units behind you that need your missile strike." Repeat, use your missiles sparingly, there are large swarm units behind you that need your missile strikes. ”
"Come on, don't worry, I can take these bugs down one by one with a cannon."
This is a battle with little technology, tactics and micro-maneuvers, a simple way of luring the enemy deep and hitting hard. The Marines relied on medical transport planes to survive and reduce the losses to a few dozen. There were also few bugs left in the sky, most of which were wiped out by a mixture of artillery, machine cannons, and spike rifles. The rest is a target for Su Lin to practice shooting.
"Marines, slowly retreat back, let the swarm and the swamp beast get away, and we're in the second phase!"
.......................................
The ground troops dealing with the insect swarm also have no micro-manipulation methods, at least until now, Ji Tianping has not seen a species like explosive insects. Compared with fast units like reptiles and zantars, it is pointless to show off your skills in front of long-range units like inert insects, and it is far less efficient than frontal hard ones.
(The main reason is that Ji Tianping's operation skills are not up to par, and if he takes over the marines to fight, it will be very brain-consuming)
At the end of the battle, Ji Tianping's troop losses accumulated to about 200, but in the next minute, the transport planes that came from the rear quickly filled Ji Tianping's team with 200 freshly baked marines.
The hive may be so angry that it will blow itself up when it sees this.
Malaka: "Commander, where did you get this steady stream of Marines?" Shouldn't you have one too...... The human nest? The kind that can keep incubating Marines. “
Ji Tianping wanted to answer yes, but it was called a barracks.
So Ji Tianping replied: "Malaka, you are very smart, you guessed the result at once." “
"Hahaha, boss, you're joking again," Malaka laughed, "and you always like to joke and bully a baby like me who doesn't read." “
Ji Tianping pointed to the swamp beast in front of him and said, "Okay, okay, don't say much, those monsters as big as mountains are coming, and if the front is tough, hundreds of marines can't beat it." “
"Marines, all board, get into the medical transport, we're going to move on to the third phase, we're playing with the bugs."
............................................
As the saying goes, it's better to see than to hear, and when a huge swamp beast appears in front of you, it's quite shocking. The swamp is the most powerful combat unit of the known Swarm Ground Army. They are the backbone of the Swarm army and are as threatening as any armored vehicle. This large behemoth is like a living siege vehicle in front of the enemy. It possesses a bone-like scythe that can easily pierce through most known substances.
"We will attack Target A first, and ask the tank troops and ferocious fighters to pull away Target B and Target C for us, respectively, and not let them come near us.
This group of simple and ferocious monsters was once again attracted by a very simple tactic of luring the enemy, and the two swamps were lured by the chariots and fighters respectively, and ran to the left and right sides, and the marines now had only one swamp beast to face.
However, the Marines still couldn't be tough.
Ji Tianping said very clearly in the communication platform: "Marines, we are divided into six squads, each group of 100 people, divided into six medical transport planes, around this swamp beast we attack from six sides, bullying it and unable to fight in the air. All Marines must keep a safe distance from the swamp, and if the swamp charges at any team, everyone will immediately board the plane and move away. ”
"We'll grind it to death!"
When the swamp beast rushed forward and wanted to fight with these little human creatures in front of it, it found that these little things in front of it were suddenly pulled up by the spaceship in the air at a very fast speed (gravitational tube), which was amazing, Amazing.
Then, in the other direction, a team of five more of these little human creatures appeared, firing bullets that only felt a slight sting, weakening the thick and hard shell of the swamp beast little by little.
"Oh, what a monster, we're firing depleted uranium armor-piercing bullets right now. I can only knock the monster's shell into pieces. “
Faced with this situation, the Pioneer was much more comfortable coping, especially the modified Pioneer (small cart carrying cannon), which bombarded the swamp with its thick 125mm cannon, and the effect was very satisfying. The firing mode of the ion cannon is a terrifying shock gun. This long-range weapon can fire a variety of munitions, such as the Vortex armor-piercing projectile, which leaves a large hole in the boamp's shell.
The most comfortable is the Panda fighter, Su Lin has an absolutely comfortable output environment, and he can output the swamp beast unscrupulously in the air, provided that the missile tube is enough. Su Lin used the missile to blow up the swamp beast's body and scarred it, making the swamp beast, a simple and easily irritable behemoth, helpless, looking at the sky and sighing.
Su Lin continued to pour fire on the swamp beast's wounds with her cannon, even the hardest skin and strong body could not withstand such continuous wound tearing.
"My good brothers, warriors of the race, hold on, victory is in sight!"
