Chapter 18: The Line of Defense
Chapter 18:
"All attack points, all the power to !!!!!!"
Looking at the boy's flare, Khufu roared and gave the order, and the rapid-fire cannon that had just changed the barrel of the cooled gun spat out tongues of fire, only this time the frequency of attacks was significantly lower than just now.
Khufu knew very well that the blind shot just now was to cover Garbo, so an absolute chain of fire must be formed, and this explosive attack was not sustainable, but the suppressive force was extremely strong.
Now that Garbo's stealth reconnaissance has failed, it has been exposed and returned to the camp, then the battle has become a positional war, no matter how strong the enemy is, being able to delay as much time as possible to allow more clansmen to retreat has become the primary combat goal.
"Hiss ~~~~~"
In the wind and snow, flesh and blood splattered.
The exit of the col is not wide, but it is difficult to completely block it with only eight rapid-fire guns, especially the swarm that never takes life seriously.
From the moment the first jumping worm stepped on the corpse of the bug in front of it and crossed the valley, the electromagnetic sniper rifle in the trench followed closely and began to shoot.
"The firepower is not enough to suppress them completely, we must find a way to continue to compress them in the places where we are most likely to eliminate! The spaceship behind should be ready, since the reconnaissance can't be carried out, it really can't be forced out of the port! I know I'm gambling with the lives of my people, but there's no other way ... ”
Khufu spoke to the communicator in front of the podium as he carried two large ammunition boxes and an auxiliary robotic arm on his back.
"Inform them that the ship is ready to break out, and as soon as it receives our signal, no matter what is outside, it will leave the port immediately!"
"Ciro, Lucas, take your men and go back to the left of the valley entrance, Garbo is now weak on the right side of the line of fire, I'll go to his aid! Look at the situation, those bed bugs are about to slip through the net! ”
Once the enemy rushes into the valley, the garrison of 100 people will be in no danger, and it will be difficult to crush those bugs in the canyon with insufficient firepower, and the entire defense line will instantly avalanche.
"Received, big brother, you are optimistic about that kid of Garbo, it's okay if we die, he must live! That kid likes to be reckless, and he only listens to what you and the elder say, go! ”
The captains of the garrison who received the task, each with their best brothers, touched out from the left side of the trench and went straight to the bunker on the left side of the gorge.
At this time, Khufu had fully loaded the two super ammunition boxes on his body, picked up the revolver-type Vulcan machine gun with a rate of fire of up to 300 milliseconds from the table, rushed out of the trench from the right, and ran towards the direction where the boy on the right side of the canyon was helping to defend.
Khufu loved this primitive and violent gunpowder weapon, minimally affected by interference and malfunctions in the polar belt, and capable of shredding anything you could see, given enough ammunition.
Just as Khufu was still moving to the right front of the entire defensive line, he suddenly saw a tall shadow coming out of the snowy canyon of flesh and blood, this figure attracted almost all the firepower, but still could not stop its movement.
A hill beetle with its carapace shattered all over its body emerged from the wind and snow, and it didn't fall to the ground until it ran out of the col more than ten meters away.
When all the firing points swept back to the area they were defending again, they realized that it was too late.
At the moment when the hill beetle rushed out of the valley, the other parts of the col that were not covered by fire, the overwhelming jumping insects finally ran out completely, and surged towards the bunker equipped with the electromagnetic rapid-fire cannon.
The corpse of the hill beetle, almost blocking a quarter of the entire mountain pass, countless bugs poured out from behind its corpse, and then turned into new corpses and minced flesh again.
Although the firepower of the defensive line was still strong, the black ground made of corpse fragments continued to advance steadily.
