Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Fierce Battle
12:48 p.m., January 15, 2071 - Shariz Star Base 004 - Human Position in Shafeng City Square -
When the main force of the Zerg consisting of the big dog, the stinging snake, the poisonous explosion worm, the venom monster, and the giant fist crab attacked, the heroic human defenders fought back without fear. The machine-gun bunkers immediately built a dense firepower network to carry out a wide range of clearances of small big dogs, stinging snakes and other zergs, and rows of zergs fell on the way to charge. However, there were too many of them, and even if the machine gun bunkers attacked with all their might, they still couldn't stop the momentum of the insect tide. Soon, some Zerg rushed into the anti-tank trenches.
The anti-tank trench, which is five meters deep and ten meters wide, was specially prepared by the human defenders for the giant fist crab. The Giant Fist Crab's tumbling and dashing momentum was too fierce for ordinary weapons to do anything with it, and it was a waste of resources to block it with heavy weapons, so this method used to deal with tanks during World War II was used on them. Unfortunately, the big dog that charged the fastest came to test the depth of the water for the giant fist crab first.
Tens of thousands of big dogs, which were originally like a tide, lost more than sixty percent after breaking through the crossfire network of machine gun bunkers, and their corpses were piled up all over the main road of Shafeng City. However, before they could rejoice in their hard-won breakthrough, the spider-induced mines deployed in the anti-tank trenches "boomed" to end their advance. "After pushing the tower, it was wiped out" can be very aptly used to describe the tragic ending of the big dogs.
It turned out that after thousands of large dogs poured into the anti-tank trenches, they began to build "worm ladders" and try to climb over the trenches. Spider-induced mines, deployed in the ditch and in the state of automatic detonation, entered a state of waiting to be detonated after calculating the most dense gathering position of the big dogs. When the "worm ladder" was piled up only a few centimeters from the top of the trench and the big dog was about to start climbing, the mine detonated. Thousands of big dogs in the trench were completely wiped out in an instant, and the explosion even threw the stumps and short legs of some big dogs into the human position, and the commander Ouyang Luo was very unlucky to be hit in the head by a short leg.
Although the Zerg's attack continued, this small victory lifted the originally low morale of the human race. The soldiers who were originally going to resist for a while and then run away, at this moment, they all looked at Ouyang Luo with a fanatical look, their commander who had been defeated repeatedly. The explosion ignited a raging fire in the anti-tank trench, and with it the flame of the soldiers' deep desire for victory.
The adjutant knocked off the broken leg of the big dog on Ouyang Luo's head, and said very excitedly: "Commander, your defense plan has worked!" ”
Looking at the Zerg that had stopped advancing and reformed because the big dogs were all wiped out, Ouyang Luo waved his hand at Adjutant Adjutant Ao, "Don't be too complacent, there are still many Zerg, let's see what method they plan to attack now." ”
Originally, I thought that more than 10,000 big dogs could hit the first line of defense of human beings, but I didn't expect that they would all be wiped out in a few minutes, and the Zerg "lord" who was in charge of commanding the attack angrily punched a big hole in the concrete wall in front of him. Then, it issued an order that puzzled the troops on both sides.
Under the surprised gaze of the human defenders, the Zerg troops, who had already rushed to half of the formation, slowly retreated, and then about 20,000 big dogs rushed out of the southern city behind the Zerg main team, and the target was still the anti-tank trench full of the remains of the big dogs. Now, even the brain worm who took the time to observe the battle situation somewhere in Shariz couldn't figure it out, but since the command was handed over to the "lord", the brain worm generally wouldn't bother until it suffered a major defeat.
More than 20,000 large dogs rushed to the human defense positions without fear of death, and immediately suffered a fierce attack from machine-gun pillboxes. At this time, the plasma bugs in the rear began to fire plasma balls to provide fire support for them, suppressing the human machine gun bunkers. As the "lord" expected, as soon as the plasma mass rose into the sky, the machine-gun bunker, which had only fired a few shots, immediately fell silent. In order to avoid being knocked out by a single shot, the human soldiers moved away with heavy machine guns. This time, the Zerg broke through the blockade of the machine-gun pillboxes and stormed the anti-tank trenches with the loss of less than a thousand large dogs.
The previous attack of a * dog consumed about thirty percent of the spider-induced mines, which is nearly four times more than the previous big dogs, and the remaining spider-induced mines are a little insufficient. When the anti-tank trench was densely covered with more than 15,000 large dogs, all the remaining spider-induced mines were detonated. After a rumbling explosion, nearly 10,000 large dogs were wiped out, and more than 2,000 large dogs were blown up and incapacitated. However, nearly 7,000 large dogs were still alive, and when the fire in the anti-tank trench was extinguished, they stepped on the corpses of their companions and charged again.
The very slow plasma regiment just hit the human position at this time, and in order to avoid being killed, most of the fighters hid in the anti-artillery holes. Only a few of the soldiers who were sure that the explosion of the plasma mass would not affect them remained outside the anti-gun holes, watching the big dogs that continued to charge forward. Among them, of course, it also includes Ouyang Luo, a commander who is not afraid of death.
"Damn it, what are these bugs going to do?"
Looking at the big group of dogs that were getting closer and closer to the position, Ouyang Luo frowned. Those mines were originally used to deal with Venom Monster and Giant Fist Crab, but I didn't expect the big dog to be scrapped, and now, the plan was all disrupted.
"Boom-boom-"
The explosion of the plasma mass destroyed many fortifications, many rocks were blown into pieces, and the dust raised scattered Ouyang Luo's whole body, and even the exterior mirror of the observation system was covered. Ouyang Luo lowered his head and subconsciously wiped off the dust with his hands. After wiping off the dust, he found that some of the potholes in the trench had been filled in with dust. In the next moment, it occurred to him that the attack of the Zerg seemed to have something similar to this dust-filled pit.
"Ma, this 'lord' is such a thief?"
By this time, nearly 7,000 large dogs had all rushed through the anti-tank trenches filled with the corpses of their companions and charged towards the first line of defense. Unfortunately, however, there is a high-voltage power grid that is holding them back. When the big dogs neighed and rushed to the power grid, their lives had come to an end.
"Whew-"
One after another, the big dogs pounced, but they were greeted only by death. Thousands of volts of high-voltage electricity are simply not something that these big dogs can withstand, and every big dog that touches the power grid is almost taken away in an instant, and the remaining corpses are turned into ashes under the impact of their companions. However, this did not stop them from going on the offensive. After discovering the lethality of the power grid, the big dog began to try to jump over the power grid, after all, the power grid is only one meter and five high. Unfortunately, the Zerg carapace is so conductive that even if the tip of the dog's claws touches the grid, it will be left on the grid by the high voltage. The big dog that can successfully jump over the grid is less than one in ten.
"Marines, fire, take out those big dogs for me!"
The soldiers stationed in the first line of defense received Ouyang Luo's order, hurriedly drilled out of the anti-artillery hole, and shot at the big dog that was rushing to the first line of defense, and soon, the big dog that launched the attack was completely annihilated. But before the human troops could breathe a sigh of relief, the Zerg attacked again. And this time, the Zerg formation was almost pressed on the whole line,
Ouyang Luo smashed his fist on the bunker and yelled at the adjutant: "Let the tanks and machine guns come up, this time, we can't hide!" ”
"Yes!"
Under Ouyang Luo's order, the machine gun company entered the position again and set up in the pillbox. Some of the machine-gun bunkers were destroyed by the plasma regiment, and they were set up directly on the ruins, risking a direct attack from the Zerg to shoot. The tank also drove up again, aiming its heavy artillery at the Zerg who were rushing towards the position, and specifically fired at the most dense places of the Zerg. The Zerg's tentative attack is over, and now it begins, the real attack.
Because the anti-tank trench was filled with the corpse of a big dog, there was no longer any terrain to hinder the Zerg charge. Under the firepower of the human defenders, the Zerg rushed through the anti-tank trench after paying a considerable price. At this time, the Marines of the first line of defense began to attack with gun grenades, and the small Zerg could not push any further forward, and the only thing that could continue to advance was the thick-skinned giant fist crab.
"Hiss-"
Faced with the situation that his companion could not move on, the strongest giant fist crab roared, and was the first to roll up, rolling towards the grid. Immediately afterward, the other giant fist crabs also began to roll, and the impact was so powerful that it was like a cluster of tanks.
Ouyang Luo, who had just loaded his grenades and was about to launch them outside the position, couldn't help jumping up when he saw this scene, if he let them crash into the power grid, he would be able to pay back. didn't care about the Zerg listening, turned on the radio public channel, Ouyang Luo shouted in the channel: "The tank will concentrate my firepower and knock out those giant fist crabs!" ”
"Understood!"
The tanks that had been suppressing the Zerg charge adjusted their gun positions and used armor-piercing bullets to shoot at the tumbling giant fist crabs, trying to wipe them out of the grid. After two rounds of volleys, more than a dozen slow-rolling giant fist crabs were hit by tank armor-piercing shells, blowing up their carapaces. Looking at them lying horizontally outside the power grid and unable to move, it is estimated that they are more dead and less alive. But a few of the fast-rolling giant fist crabs dodged the shells and crashed straight into the grid. At the moment of the collision, sparks flew near the power grid.
The shell of the giant fist crab is extremely conductive, and the moment it touches the power grid, it is immobilized by thousands of volts of high-voltage electricity, although its vitality is very tenacious, but it only lasts for a few seconds, and then dies from the high-voltage current. Although the Giant Fist Crabs were all wiped out, their purpose of opening the way was achieved.
"Commander, the power grid has been knocked down and the interception has failed!"
"Boom-" A plasma mass exploded nearby, and the adjutant who was running in the trench didn't have time to lie down, and was blown next to Ouyang Luo by the shock wave, making a big horse lying on his stomach.
Helping the grizzled adjutant up, Ouyang Luo pointed at the Zerg who rushed to the position and shouted, "Forget about the short circuit, I don't expect that thing to last long." We can hold our ground without the power grid, grab your gun and hit me! ”
"Understood!"
Although the Giant Fist Crab suffered all casualties and the Zerg lost the cover of heavy units, taking advantage of the opportunity for the tanks to concentrate fire on the Giant Fist Crab, their main force approached the position, and the high-voltage power grid was damaged and could not be stopped, and the situation became in favor of the Zerg. In close combat, the role of tank guns and plasma regiments has been greatly reduced, and now it is necessary to see the performance of the infantry on both sides.
A large number of venom monsters, big dogs, and stinging snakes screamed and rushed through the power grid, and more than 100 marines from the first line of defense of mankind immediately launched an attack on them, and the dense grenades became the first meal to greet them. Under Ouyang Luo's order, the marines of the first line of defense used up all the grenades in one go, and after this burst of bombardment, the number of Zerg charging at the front greatly decreased.
"The Zerg are scattered, fire!"
The Marines all got up, raised their guns, and opened fire on the Zerg. Venom and Stinging Snakes, who were lucky enough to avoid the bombardment, also launched long-range attacks on the Marines within the attack range. After a fierce firefight, the human warriors of the first line of defense managed to repel a round of zerg. But before they could cool down the barrel, the Zerg, which had been blocked by the tank guns, rushed up again.
"Commander, the Zerg are up again!"
Ouyang Luo, who was repairing the broken armor for the guards, was taken aback and asked in surprise: "What, the Zerg broke through so quickly?" ”
