Chapter 25: The Battle
December 17, 2070 18:20 __Shariz Star Centipede Rift Valley__Where the main human forces are located__
Sitting up from the ground all of a sudden, the commander-in-chief pointed to the battlefield real-time imager and shouted. "It's now! The laser cannon and rocket artillery teams pressed to the forefront of the position and aimed directly at the thunder beast! Beat it up! The troops on both wings are full of firepower, be sure to suppress the follow-up troops of the Zerg for me! The Marines fire with all their might, slowing down the Thunderbeast's advance! Success or failure in this move, give me a hard beating! "For a time, the intensity of fire on human positions reached outrageous levels.
"Bang Bang Fifty soldiers with heavy weapons came to the forefront of the position, while the rest of the marines stood in the trench and poured fire frantically towards the thunder beast, and the dense fire network was intertwined, as if a rain of fire really fell horizontally. However, the thunder beast that was enveloped in it was not affected in any way, only the speed of its progress was affected a little, as if it was just raining.
"Click-" Another magazine was emptied, and Sato sat back in the trench at once. "Huh-Lao Liu, didn't you say that you killed the thunder beast with a machine gun at that time, why didn't we fight the thunder beast for a long time!?" "Click-" Lao Liu, who had changed the magazine, stood up and roared while shooting at the head of the thunder beast: "I know!? Maybe it's evolved again! "Click-" "That's going to have to kill it, too!" After changing the magazine and standing up again, Sato raised the AGH12 and launched an attack on the Thunder Beast.........
The forward position ......" rocket artillery team divided into a group of five people to attack a thunder beast, and the laser cannon team divided into two people to attack a thunder beast in a group. That's the plan we have 70% sure of, we hope to kill the thirteen thunder beasts, and the remaining two can only rely on other troops. Now, start attacking! "Yes!" Fifty warriors scattered, shoulder-fired rocket launchers and laser cannons baring their fangs at the thunderbeast.
"Whoosh-swish--" Five rockets flew out of a fortification, and a thunder beast less than two hundred meters away from the position did not dodge or dodge, and was hit head-on by the rocket. "Boom-bang-bang-" After a series of violent explosions, the thunder beast, whose head had been blown off a small half, reappeared in the sight of the warriors. "Woo-woo-" let out a final cry of unwillingness, anger, and despair, and the thunder beast weighing hundreds of tons fell heavily to the ground, splashing a cloud of dust and making the earth tremble violently.
"Well played!" "Beautiful!" There was a cheer on the human front, and many commanders in the headquarters also applauded and celebrated, killing the first thunder beast was too much of a morale boost, and everyone was a little more confident in victory. "Keep fighting, send all the thunder beasts back to my hometown!" The commander-in-chief commanded in a deep voice. "Yes!" "Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-" For a while, dozens of rockets flew out from the human position, and all the thunder beasts were hit hard, but only four were killed, and the rest were only injured.
"How so?" "Can't move?" With a sigh, the commander-in-chief said: "Their back shell, the back shell of the thunder beast can move forward to cover their heads, and the one-meter-thick back shell is probably only penetrated by air-to-ground ground-penetrating bullets." Let the rocket artillery team retreat, and the rest can only look at the laser cannon team. At this time, the commander-in-chief was already beginning to think about organizing a death squad, and if he couldn't kill the thunder beast, he could only use that method......
The remaining ten thunder beasts continued to advance towards the human position under the personal command of the brain worm, and the fastest thunder beast was already less than a hundred meters away from the position. "Laser cannon squad! Attack! "After the second charge is completed, you can perform a double shot." "Okay, 1, 6, 7, 8, 10, aim for the thunder beast at the front, fire!" "Roger." "Whoosh--" Five blazing white lasers shot out at the same time, accurately hitting the target thunder beast. "Sneer-" The laser beam shot at the thunder beast's body and sent out bursts of green smoke, and the shell of the thunder beast that was shot quickly dissolved. The laser lasted only three seconds, not much, but enough.
"Whew-" The thunderbeast's chest was set on fire by the laser beam, burning a hole the size of a basin, and although it was only a traumatic injury, it was enough to hurt. "Second attack!" "Whoosh--" The infantry shoulder-mounted laser cannon with a dynamic capture system launched another attack, accurately shooting through the wound just punched. "Whew-" This time the thunder beast was in pain, and it could even be said that it was crazy because of the severe pain. The thunderbeast has a strong vitality, even if it hits the vital point directly, it is difficult to make it die, but the thunderbeast still has pain, and the internal organs are burned to charcoal so that it loses its mind, waving its fangs and frantically attacking everything around it.
"Roar-" "Roar-" The runaway thunder beast collided with another thunder beast, and what the humans never expected was that the two thunder beasts actually began to pinch each other, constantly waving their huge fangs at each other. "Bang-" "Bang-" The sound of fangs colliding with fangs kept ringing, and occasionally hitting the opponent's body was a sound of broken bones. The pattern of the battlefield was completely reversed by the infighting between the two thunder beasts.
"It's now! The laser cannon gathers fire, one by one! "Whoosh--" The remaining energy of the ten laser cannons was enough to hit 20 times, and the laser beams were distributed to the 8 thunder beasts, 3 were killed on the spot, and 2 were seriously injured and fell to the ground. At this point, the flamethrower moved, and the three thunderbeasts that rushed up with their stubborn support were mercilessly roasted. "Whew-" "Whew-" The flames penetrated through the wound of the laser cannon, and the three-headed thunder beast was tragically roasted inside and out in this short 100-meter charging distance, and soon became a tender insect corpse on the outside and scorched on the inside.
But before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, bad news came. "Commander-in-chief, the fire blockade has been breached, the ammunition consumption is too great, the ammunition remaining for the automatic cannon is less than 10%, and the average of the 'rippers' is less than 30%." "Let them rush over, I'm about to call a ceasefire." At this time, the corpses of the Zerg were already covered with the ground at several forks in the valleys, and there were even mountains of corpses piled up at the mouth of several valleys, and the charging Zerg had to turn over from above to continue to advance.
At the signal of the command, the troops on both flanks stopped attacking, and a large number of Zerg stepped on the corpses of their companions and poured up again. However, a dramatic scene emerged. Because the two thunder beasts were engaged in a "gladiatorial battle" in the middle of the battlefield, the charging Zerg was partially blocked, because the fight was too fierce, some of the Zerg who passed by from the side were also unfortunately trampled to death by the thunder beasts, and the Zerg who rushed from both sides launched an attack on the position.
"Hit!" "Da-da-" The frontal and flank-based marines attacked together, and it was so close that the Stinging Snake and Venom Monster opened fire on the team. "Shhh "K-" Looking at the shield in his hand that was pierced beyond recognition, Ivan swallowed his saliva and continued to shoot at the shield and the Zerg. "Commander-in-chief, there will be casualties if this continues, do you see if it's ......" "The flamethrower is activated, and the fuel will be sprayed to me at one time." "Yes!" Flamethrowers rise from the ground and spew fire at the Zerg that are close at hand. "Squeak-" The ignited Zerg rolled on the ground, trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies, but it was in vain. "Wow-" The venom monster with a venom sac hanging from his chin spewed venom into a flamethrower, and in a puff of white smoke, the flamethrower's alloy shell was completely corroded. "Boom-" "Bang-" Another mouthful of venom, the flamethrower exploded, and the surrounding land was ignited.
"I'll do it! The flamethrower was actually knocked out! Detonate a round of spider induce mines and beat the Zerg back to me! "The commander-in-chief is angry now, a flamethrower is nearly a million!" Boom-boom-" The mine was detonated, and the Zerg and limestone on the small plain were blown into the sky. "The Zerg has no follow-up troops, the whole army will assault and annihilate the remnants of the Zerg!" "Rush!" Hundreds of Marines and "Rippers" launched a counter-charge against the Zerg trapped on the small plains, and hand-to-hand combat was inevitable. "Get on the bayonet!" The Marines in the frontal position drew their bayonets from their waists and loaded them on their guns in unison, and rushed out of the trenches. The "Rippers" on both wings were more direct, the front end of the machine gun was mounted with blades, and the "Rippers" jumped down the cliff with their weapons and jumped directly into the pile of bugs, and the thick pile of Zerg corpses became their cushions.
"Kill!" As if going back to many years ago, Lao Liu took the lead in the charge, sideways to avoid the pounce of a big dog, and the agh12 in his hand had been inserted into the big dog's head with his backhand. "Snort-" "Ahhh "Da Da Da-" fired three shots in a row to kill the stinging snake, Lao Liu's movements can be described as smooth, and the surrounding soldiers cheered. "Kill!" "Kill!" Someone rushed to the front, and the rest of the warriors were also driven, no longer cowering, and rushed towards the zerg who was several times their size. "Boom-" A "Ripper" descended from the sky on a stinging snake, trampled it into a meatloaf and brandished its machine cannon, slashing the nearby dog to the ground, and then continued to charge.........
Both the human forces and the insect swarm were red-eyed, and neither side had any tactics or skills left, only a hard-fought ......
