At this stage of the war, some high-ranking people still have hope that they can talk peacefully with the Zerg and exchange prisoners of war.

According to intelligence speculation, many of the missing paratroopers are still alive and have become prisoners.

There could be thousands, or at least hundreds.

The spies believed that the POWs had been escorted to Klandas.

The Zerg are as interested in humans as they are in them, and a race capable of building cities, spaceships, and armies, but made up of individual individuals, may seem more mysterious to the Zerg society than to the Zerg society.

Whenever possible, everyone wanted to get back those prisoners of war.

Including Wang Hao.

According to the cold and harsh laws of the universe, this is definitely a fatal weakness.

Some races that never rescue individuals may take advantage of this characteristic of humanity to wipe out humanity once and for all.

But the Zerg have no such concerns at all.

No one has ever seen a Zerg come to the aid or rescue of another.

Although they work well together in combat, they are immediately abandoned as soon as an individual is no longer needed.

Human behavior, on the other hand, is completely different.

How many times have you seen headlines like this?

In order to save the children who fell into the water, two adults were unfortunately killed.

If one person gets lost in the mountains, hundreds of people will go to search for them, and often two or three rescuers will die.

But the next time someone gets lost, there will be just as many volunteers.

Is it that all human beings are terrible at math?

Of course not.

This idea is found in all folklore, in all religions, in all literature, and it is the belief of a race: once one person needs to be rescued, others should not count the gains and losses.

Is this a weakness?

It could also be a unique force that could help humanity win over the entire galaxy.

Whether it's weakness or strength, the Zerg don't have such a thing.

There is no hope of exchanging soldiers for soldiers.

But in a symbiotic hierarchical society, some classes have absolute value.

For example, if humans can capture the brains of the Zerg, a living brain worm without any damage may be able to make a good deal with the Zerg.

No matter how bad it is, it can be used for research.

One of the goals of Operation Wormhole is to find a way: how to get underground, how to dig the Zerg out, how to win the war with the least amount of attrition.

Infantry against war bugs, which humans can defeat on the ground; Ship to ship, the human starship is more powerful; So far, once the Zerg burrowed into the hole, the good fortune of humanity ended there.

But in fact, so far, humans have never captured a single high-level zerg alive.

The nuclear bomb can only wipe out the surface part of the Zerg colony, but there is nothing to be done about the Zerg hidden underground. All they know is that once a commando goes deep into their hole, they will never get out.

This is how many brave infantry men have disappeared, and this kind of thing has happened too much.

More disappearances due to failed recovery of motorized infantry.

Sometimes the troops on the ground find that the battleships above their heads have been taken out, what happened to these troops?

Nobody knows.

Probably it will fight to the last man.

It is more likely that the battle will be fought until the power and ammunition are exhausted, and the survivors will then be easily captured.

There are too many Zerg besieging them.

So at present, the infantry who have landed on Planet P are all facing a very serious problem, the group of battleships above their heads has been completely turned into space junk, and if they want to return to civilization alive, there is only one way left: fighting!

"If we cannot exchange prisoners of war under any conditions, then we must: 1. win the war, 2) do so while creating opportunities to rescue our own people in battle, and 3) die in the process of trying and losing the war. Planet P is a testing ground, and here we will see if there is a way to eradicate them! ”

Orders from the command reached each officer, and the officer then conveyed the summary of the strategy to each infantryman.

As the encirclement continued to shrink, each unit gradually reduced the range of its search, initially with a squad responsible for searching, but now gradually becoming a platoon to search.

Wang Hao didn't like what he saw.

The desert, which was already like the Gobi Desert, had no trace of life, but now it was devastated by the infantry's blockade of the cave entrance.

All that remained on the ground were corpses of all kinds, Zerg or human.

As the range of activity of the Zerg is gradually compressed, the more aggressive they appear, and attrition is necessary, and sometimes even an entire squad or platoon will be wiped out, requiring the troops next to them to arrive quickly to seal the gap.

Wang Hao's tactical radar was showing that one of his entire platoons was heading towards the intended location, but only a few people remained in the designated position.

It is not at all obvious that they are maintaining any formation.

Wang Hao asked Dimitri to send scouts from his first detachment to determine the orientation of the front corner of the current patrol area; The deputy platoon commander was then sent to contact the patrol of the 5th Regiment.

Wang Hao's 3rd Regiment is responsible for an area 300 kilometers long and 80 kilometers wide.

The piece that his fourth platoon was responsible for was a rectangle forty kilometers long and seventeen kilometers wide, located in the leftmost front corner of the third regiment.

I just received the news that the patrol of the Fifth Regiment, when completing the search mission, was ambushed by the Zerg and was almost wiped out.

The fourth platoon led by Wang Hao was the closest unit, so Captain James ordered Wang Hao to hand over the task of guarding the current location to the third platoon and immediately lead his troops to support.

At this point in the war, everything is fine in Wang Hao's fourth platoon, although there are also attritions, but the system is complete, and the main combat force is still the same.

On hostile planets, this is already a success.

Although he had received orders and arranged the defense of the area, Wang Hao still had a lot to do before Dimitri's first shift reached the far corner.

Wang Haode:

1. Find the platoon commander of the third platoon you want to change guards.

2. Set up several corners of the support area and communicate their orientation to several detachment leaders and squad leaders, so that they can immediately settle into position.

3. Liaise with the platoon commanders of the eight platoons adjacent to the corners of the garrison area and draw their attention to security issues in their area. By the time mark, five of them should have been in place, and the remaining three were on their way to their goal.

4. After everything is done, lead the remaining boys to rush to the support point position as soon as possible with the shortest path.

Although the patrol of the Fifth Regiment was putting up its last resistance, Wang Hao could not be in a hurry. Because once the gap is exposed, it will be like a dam that has broken a small gap, and the gap will get bigger and bigger, and eventually lead to uncontrollable consequences.
