Chapter 127: Expedition

"Those lazy pilots have nothing to do but eat, sleep, and shine their shoes!"

That's what the motorized infantry people say.

The deep opinion of the fleet pilots was more extreme than that of the infantry: the army was obsolete and should be abolished.

Of course, no pilot has ever said this in a formal setting, but if you talk to an Air Force officer on leave, coax him, and pour him a few more glasses of wine, he's going to have to pour this kind of into your ears.

Pilots always think that they can fight any battle, and after winning it, send a few people down to take charge of the entire planet, and wait for the army to come and take over.

The longer Wang Hao stayed here, the more he felt the discrimination of the Air Force against the Army.

At the same time, I can better understand Sandel's disdain for Rego, which is a kind of discrimination in the eyes of the heart.

The Roger Young was already crowded with one company on board, but the Tours were still quite spacious with six on board.

It had enough tubes to eject all the motorized infantry at once, and there was enough space to carry twice as many motorized infantry as it could drop them in two ejections.

But if you do, the boat will be very crowded.

Everyone had to eat in shifts, the extra hammocks had to be placed in the corridors and airborne cabins, and the water was limited so that the comrades could only breathe in when they exhaled.

And, "Take your elbow away from my eyes!" ”

Wang Hao is glad that he didn't carry double the number of people on this trip.

There were fifteen naval officers on board the Tours, eight women and seven men, and eight motorized infantry officers.

Among them is Wang Hao, Wang Hao is very happy to be called so, at least this shows that his life is not in vain.

The captain is the chief of the entire battleship, and Wang Hao's old boss, Lieutenant James, is the deputy chief steward.

And not because of his rank, there are three people in the Air Force who have a higher rank than him. But as the commander of the offensive forces, his actual status was higher than anyone except the captain.

Returning to the starship base on the Tours, Wang Hao once again entered the slightly narrow space of the Roger Young.

In the following period, Roger Young has not been idle, and Wang Hao has parachuted many times.

The time and place of the airborne landing are different every time, and only in this way can the Zerg not find your pattern.

But there has been no fierce fighting.

Wang Hao began to lead the team alone on missions, patrolling, harassing, and raiding.

During this period, there were also several minor conflicts with the Zerg, each of which ended in the victory of the humans.

Although they were able to win every time, in terms of the overall situation, the loss of the Zerg was not large, only the loss of some war bugs or porters.

However, the human race did not suffer any losses, although there will be attrition every time it is dispatched.

The fact is that the current Earth Federation is not yet capable of organizing a large-scale campaign, and the stupid "Operation Wormhole" has cost humanity too many ships and more experienced veterans.

Wounds heal, training recruits, deploying battleships, it all takes time.

Letting the recruits see the power of the Zerg is a must-do course for every commander.

"Listen, newcomers, come here, and the pain can only exist in your memories! I have only one request for you, only to charge, not to retreat, otherwise I will be with you myself! Do you understand! ”

It is clear that this group of recruits has not received more rigorous and systematic training, and many of them are just adults.

It can be seen that the war really came very suddenly, so that human beings could not prepare more properly for a while, and could only use actual combat to train troops.

At the same time, small, fast-moving ships are ubiquitous, including the Roger Young and other cruising troop carriers.

They disrupt the normal functioning of the Zerg, intrude on the Zerg's supply lines, and change places with one shot.

The recruits led by Wang Hao also suffered casualties, and every time they went to the "shelter" base, they had to replenish the projection capsule.

Before each airborne landing, Wang Hao would also start to close the hatch for each squad like soap, and at the same time comfort the shivering recruits.

Between each battle, you live on the base day after day with the tough guys.

Finally, after a long period of consumption, temptation and running-in, humanity finally confirmed that on a planet called "Planet P", there is an existence that is completely different from ordinary Zerg, similar to "front-line commanders".

As long as it can be found and eliminated, it is believed that the current stalemate can be opened.

As one of the few planets where both humans and Zerg can survive, most of Planet P is as flat as the Gobi near Camp Cowley, only more barren.

In the face of this kind of terrain, Wang Hao should really be thankful, this kind of terrain is conducive to Wang Hao to notice the bed bugs emerging from the ground and give them a head-on attack.

After assembling the team, Wang Hao began to give his subordinates a final pre-hair: "Today we are looking for a big bug, a special big bug that we have never seen before!" ”

Speaking of this, Wang Hao turned around and glanced at the plasma cannon that flew into the sky from behind the distant mountain, and then said in a resolute tone: "And they already know about our arrival, I still say the same thing, only charge, no retreat!" Let's go! ”

According to the instructions, the infantry was spread out, with each squad separated by four kilometers to maximize the search for wormholes.

There was a six-minute interval between each wave of inspections, and the infantry formation could only reach this density at most.

But this density is far from sufficient.

Even if you turn on the radio immediately after an attack to call for backup, it will be at least three to four minutes to wait for support.

Three to four minutes is enough for a large number of Zerg to emerge from a very small hole.

And it is difficult for a squad of troops to hold out for so long.

Of course, satellite radar can see farther than the naked eye, but it can't see accurately either.

Not only are the Zerg able to hide underground, but they have been able to make their skin color the same as the color of the earth's surface, which can sometimes be fooled even by the naked eye at close range, let alone satellites that are in danger under the bombardment of plasma cannons.

In addition, the infantry did not dare to open fire at will, except for rifles.

Because there are infantry comrades in all directions.

If a group of Zerg popped out of the cave, it was certain that there would be human infantry not far from the Zerg.

This situation greatly limits the means of strike that Wang Hao can now use, although each platoon is equipped with individual tactical nuclear warheads, or can call the air force to carry out ground strikes.

Even so, Wang Hao still didn't want to use them.

Rockets have a nasty habit of continuing to fly forward if they fail to hit their target until they are blocked.

And it can't distinguish between friend and foe at all, and the cavity of a nuclear warhead is enough to stuff a Roger Young.

The same is true for ground strikes, not only will they cause accidental injuries to teammates, but they can only hit ground targets, and they will have no effect on the Zerg in the wormhole at all.
