Two hours ago, just minutes after Jiang Yun's troops marched into the center of the anthill and insect nest, thousands of red dots of light appeared on Iron Slag's tactical map. In just a moment, the red point of light was like a diffuse pigment, quickly spreading and eroding towards the outer blue point of light.

Seeing such a scene, Iron Slag immediately realized that the Sixth Garrison of the Dark Jungle was finished. Immediately afterward, he quickly drew the map and analyzed the surrounding situation again. It wasn't long before he suddenly noticed a handful of blue dots of light slowly moving towards the defensive line. He clicked on the dot of light, and a line of information appeared above it.

[Dark Jungle Garrison 6th Brigade Thunderfire Mecha*65]

After a few minutes of reflection, Iron Slag gave up the idea of retreating.

First of all, it's too late to retreat now, and the frogs and stinging insects move too fast, marching more than twice as fast as humans. Secondly, even if the Sixth Brigade fought to the death, it would only be able to buy two and a half hours for the defensive line. Unless his "wolf legion" can retreat alone, they will not be able to escape the pursuit of the biters. But the problem is that any team on the line of defense leaves without permission, and the entire line of defense is on the verge of collapse. If the insect tide has a breakthrough, they can flank back and forth, forming a situation of encirclement.

Therefore, the first team to retreat, will definitely be dealt with with the most severely.

Thinking of this, Tie Slag immediately put away the tactical map, put on his weapon, hung up the walkie-talkie, handed over the command of the base to the deputy commander Wang Hu, and then dived into the depths of the dense forest alone.

After killing a few wandering frogs, Iron Slag summoned about thirty scout ants and distributed them within three hundred meters in front.

As he expected, ten minutes later, General Li Qi sent an urgent notice: "The insect tide is coming, and now according to the "Regulations on the Handling of Emergency Situations during Foreign Wars" and the "Regulations on the Emergency Response of Human Foreign Wars", the Dark Jungle Garrison will automatically call up all personnel, materials, and ordnance in the war zone. ”

"All teams must hold the line and wait for reinforcements to arrive, all personnel who evacuate without permission will be dealt with by the supreme military law, please do not defy the law!"

"The 3rd, 5th, and 9th Brigades will join the battlefield in three hours and ten minutes, and the 19th, 27th, and 35th Squads of the Airborne Division of the Dawn Expeditionary Force have flown to the war zone and are expected to be put into battle within four hours, please be sure to hold on until the last moment!"

"All teams involved in the defense will receive a reward of 500 credits and a silver medal."

Iron Slag listened to the announcement as he sped forward. He used the scout ants distributed in front of him to constantly search for and kill the cries to increase the number of soldier ants.

About an hour later......

Iron Slag sat on a towering banyan tree, opened the tactical map and looked at it for a moment. There were more and more red spots in the center of the screen, and the blue spots on the periphery were fading out. Seeing that the Sixth Garrison was about to be wiped out, he estimated that the defense line would be hit by the insect tide within an hour, and immediately dialed General Rich's voice communication.

"I ask to retreat." Iron Slag said in a deep voice.

"No! Retreating without permission will be ......," shouted General Richie angrily.

"You tell Assistant Piano to go!" Iron Slag interrupted him rudely and roared back.

"Well, what the hell do you want?" General Li Qi sighed helplessly, "Retreat is definitely not possible, once you retreat, others will have a reason to retreat, if the insect tide breaks through the defense line, our Night Lighthouse will bear the brunt." ”

"I originally had 300 credits, and I came here to garrison 200 credits, and the other two teams came to garrison for 300 credits, and here it is already 1,100 credits, and I have three teams here, and 1,500 credits are definitely not enough." Iron slag counted.

"You ......," General Li Qi suddenly lost his temper and said, "Don't say any more, there are three thousand credits in total, and that's all I can give instructions." ”

"Three silver medals." Iron Slag reminded that this was promised in the notice just now, and although he didn't know what it was for, it was definitely something of value.

"No problem!" General Richie boldly promised.

"Also, you must now admit the formation of the wolf legion." Iron Slag said.

"This ......"

There seemed to be hesitation, and Iron Slag argued: "The temporary formation of troops is not obliged to fight. ”

"Private property vetting is inevitable......" General Richie mused.

"We are a team first and foremost, so all the credits we have earned this time will be ours, and then the review team will remove the corresponding pensions, as well as the post-war portion of private property." Iron Slag said in a tone, "Remember! I'm talking about the post-war part. Just now, he carefully calculated for more than an hour and thought about all the conditions.

"This ......"

General Li Qi hesitated for a while, and Tie Slag continued: "If you don't agree to this, I'll take people away now, I don't care about any military law, it's a big deal for me to go back to the Northern Wilderness to see who can catch me, besides, I'm a temporary team, and it's hard to say whether military law can deal with me." ”

"Okay! So be it. General Li Qi said helplessly.

After turning off the communication, Iron Slag's mind moved, and more than 300 scout ants immediately roamed around, feeding information within a kilometer into his mind instantly. After confirming that there was no more danger, Iron Slag opened the tactical map again and studied it.

Most of the garrisons on the defensive line are the Seventh Garrison, which is responsible for the encirclement, and the other three camps are from the Academy Alliance, and one of the camps is from the Wolf Legion. The total strength of the defense line was about 1,800 men, which was at an absolute disadvantage compared to the number of swarms.

Fortunately, the human forces in motion are vulnerable to being outflanked by the swarms, while the humans stationed in the position have a huge advantage. Even simple trenches, barbed wire, and bunker walls can greatly limit the Cryfly's charge. Unlike the Sixth Brigade, which was attacked, the garrison here was scattered in position, and there was artillery support in the rear, so the swarm did not dare to easily gather and charge. The simple line of defense can also maximize the advantages of human long-range weapons, fully weakening the hand-to-hand combat ability of the criesch.

Also, the human ammunition in the camp was plentiful, unlike the attacking Sixth Brigade. With Iron Slag's knowledge of the Frogs and Stingworms, it should not be a problem to hold out for one to two hours on this line of defense, but only if there are no deserters......

Judging from the tactical map, the right flank of the wolf clan legion is the camp of the seventh garrison, with more than 200 garrisons, which is relatively reliable, after all, they are regular troops. And the left flank is the "Falcon Legion" of the Academy Alliance, with a total strength of less than a hundred, and only four mechas, which may not be able to hold it. But this is the end of the matter, and we can only do our best.

Right here, Wang Hu's voice came from the walkie-talkie: "Regiment Commander, twenty thunderfire mechs of the Sixth Garrison have requested to enter the camp to participate in the defense. ”

"Do they listen to us?" Iron Slag asked.

"They said they were willing to accept our command and dispatch before the end of the war, but ......," Wang Hu paused and said, "they had very few shells left, barely enough for two salvos." ”

"How much artillery do we have in stock?" Iron Slag asked again.

"It's very sufficient, there are a lot of shells from the original War Beast Legion and the Northern Black Knight, just now Mu Qianhe counted it, there are more than 400 bursting shells, more than 50 armor-piercing shells, enough for 30 thunderfire salvos for fifteen rounds; There are also 12 incendiary/bullets, although the Dark Jungle ordinance does not allow the use of incendiary/bullets. ”

"Accept their request, then distribute five rounds of shells to them, and let Makichizuru take command." Iron Slag said.

"Yes." Wang Hu replied loudly.

"And ......," added Iron Slag, "put them in the front row, and if necessary, they can be defended with cannons." ”

After the arrangement, Iron Slag jumped down from the tree and continued to search for the lone crying frog to keep the Scout Ant Legion running. The feeding, hatching, and replacement of these 300 soldier ants require a large number of cries of corpses. After this period of use, Iron Slag found that once the number of soldier ants exceeded the critical point of three hundred, he would gradually develop a feeling of dizziness in his mind. This vertigo will become more intense as the number of soldiers increases. In order to ensure the clarity of his thoughts, he currently only keeps about three hundred, and the slightest discomfort will immediately decrease.

Half an hour later, on the tactical map, all the blue dots representing the Sixth Garrison were extinguished, and the red spots disappeared from the map.

Iron Slag noticed that the red spots had spread out in all directions before they disappeared. After a brief thought, he figured out the swarm's intentions. They are prepared to scatter their attacks rather than concentrate on breaking through a defensive point. In the face of human artillery coverage, large gatherings of insect swarms will be the primary target. However, if they can attack multiple sectors at the same time, the range of the artillery can be minimized.

And, most importantly, the ultimate goal of the bee ant colony is not to break through, but to maximize the consumption of human troops. This can be seen from their strategic intentions, and all their actions are aimed at competing for greater living space. Secondly, in a sense, humans are both their adversaries and their prey.

At the same time, this is also the ultimate reason why the 6th Garrison of the Dark Jungle is fighting to the death. Retreating will result in more than half of the soldiers dying in a state of "low resistance", unable to effectively deplete the number of swarms. Therefore, they would rather stay and fight to the death than leave a corpse behind and flee.

And the real horror of the bee ant colony is that the corpses of soldiers in this place will turn into thousands of stinging insects. Due to the scarcity of resources in the dark jungle, minerals are scarce, and there are no spirit ores and black oils; Therefore, the postworms can only be devoured by plants, and can only hatch "low-level plant lifeforms" crying flies, and cannot hatch "low-level semi-plant and half-animal lifeforms" stinging insects. To do this, they need to devour a large number of animal carcasses to obtain the resources needed to hatch the stinging bugs.

When the central area of the anthill nest in the tactical map was completely darkened, Iron Slag immediately dispatched an ant legion and distributed it in a fan-shaped area of 2km in front of it to monitor the latest movements of the insect colony at any time.
