CHAPTER XXXI

December 18, 2070 00:30 a.m.__Shariz Star Centipede Rift Valley__Human Main Force Gathering Point__

Temporary Command .........

There were only three people in the huge battle fortress at this time, two colonel-level officers in B-class combat armor and one captain ghost warrior in a biomechanical combat suit. “……… Well, Commander Liu, that's all we can share. "This news is already very valuable, Captain Yang, what are you going to do next?" "Our tactical mission has been completed, and we will help you fend off the Zerg before reinforcements arrive. But we are only these few people, and the frontal battle will not help much, but after the battle starts, we can still reconnoiter the situation of the Zerg for you from the commanding heights outside, and guide the rocket artillery to shell. "Well, that's hard work for you." "You're welcome. Commander-in-Chief Liu, I'll go out first if there's nothing to do. "Well, Captain Yang, go get busy." Watching Captain Ghost turn around and leave, Commander-in-Chief Liu Ji couldn't help but wipe his sweat.

"This ghost warrior is kind of polite." The staff officer who was buried in sorting out the documents on the side said. "Relatively speaking, the rank of the Ghost Force is really frustrating. Obviously he is only a captain, but he can be on an equal footing with us majors and brigadiers, and it is good that this captain does not ask to command our troops. "Well, the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft has observed a large amount of smoke and dust in the north, and the Zerg may be here again." "The nuclear bomb has affected the Black Storm, and the storm may end early. We're going to have to hold out for at least another 12 hours, and by that time the Black Storm has subsided, communications have been restored, and Base 030 should be coming to our aid, at least we won't have to charge with bayonets to save bullets. "And with the precision strike nukes guided by the Ghost Force, we can retreat as long as we survive the most difficult 12 hours." "Well, where are we going to put the second line of defense? I don't think it's a good 12 hours. Pointing to a point on the electronic map, the commander-in-chief said, "Here, at the foot of this mountain." "Huh? Here? This position is not good, the front is too wide, and the intensity of our firepower is not good. "Don't be afraid, the fighters we sent out have found some supplies that were airdropped by the Akagi before it retreated. We found a 'Green-SS' cannon inside, as well as 100,000 shells, and it was not impossible to shake the swarm head-on. "Well, isn't it better to gather fire at this location at the fork? Why give up Chagu? "Because of the Zerg Air Force. I think this time the Zerg may send an air force, it is too difficult to fight against the Zerg Air Force in Chagu, there is no support, our fighters can only shoot with the Zerg Air Force in a life-for-life confrontation, which no one wants to see. "You're right, then we can start dividing our troops, and it will be too late to withdraw when the Zerg comes." "You go ahead and make arrangements."

This time, the staff officer was very dissatisfied and stood still in place. Finding that the staff officer had not left, the commander-in-chief was surprised and asked, "What's wrong Lao Feng?" Anything else? "Lao Liu, Lao Liu, sometimes I really want to scold you guy." "Why?" "Hmph, every time you have a battle plan, you just need to think about it and talk about it, and then it's all arranged by me to run up and down, I'm very dissatisfied." The commander-in-chief's face turned red, and he said in his heart that this was really the case, and said with a sneer: "Uh, Lao Feng, you have strong organizational skills, who will arrange such a glorious and arduous task by you?" "Hmph, don't give me this set. It is said that your kid brought contraband to Sharitz? "Ahem, nothing." "Erliang, if you don't give it to me, I'll report you to the Arctic base." "You can do it, I'll give it." The Commander turned and walked over to a small cabinet, scanned his pupils, opened it, and pulled out a bottle of wine and two sealed space glasses. "Portugal dry red produced in 1982, where did you get it Lao Liu?" "Confidentiality. I said okay, just give two taels, and after drinking, I will go to business. "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, come on, come on, it's full." Just then, the doors of the battle fortress opened, and a Marine walked in from the outside.

"The two chiefs are very happy." As he spoke, the Marine opened his face armor and saw the face of the comer, and the commander-in-chief and chief of staff were so frightened that they quickly straightened up. "Hello sir!" The two of them performed a military salute together, which was simply standard to the extreme. If it weren't for the B-class combat armor, no one would have guessed that they were colonel-level officers, and they were all recruits who had just been trained by the instructors. "Well, what's good, I'm not your chief for a long time." "Yes, sir!" "Hmph, the enemy is now, you two are still drinking here, and it is light to be caught and sent to a military court. I'll just say one thing, one of my recruits seems to be able to resonate with the brain waves of the brain worm, and when he was unconscious, he 'saw' the Zerg surrounding the Great Rift Valley, at least a million in size, and there were flying dragons. This battle is not easy to fight, how are you two going to organize defense? The commander-in-chief walked to the holographic 3D projection tactical map, pointed to the foot of the hill where the second line of defense was intended, and said, "Sir, look here, we plan to build a second line of defense here with the fire support of the Battle Fortress and the Grimm machine gun." "You're a bit of luck here. If Base 030 doesn't restore communication with us within 12 hours, what are you going to do next? "Don't change your strategy and tactics lightly, if you think it's time to do it, just do it." Every decision you make can cost someone their life, and you can only try to make people die as little as possible. Xiaoji, this is what my teacher taught me, I taught you, do you remember? "Remember!" "Well, come on, then. 82 years of dry red? Good thing, bring me a drink. "Uh, yes!" "You can't have good wine to yourself." The commander-in-chief and staff officers sweated profusely

Watching his old commander staggering out of the battle fortress, the commander-in-chief couldn't help but say: "The battalion commander, his old man is still like this, half-crazy and half-normal, it's all your fault, my 82 years are red!" "Uh, it's no wonder I'm going to go down and deploy first." "Stinky old Feng, when I get to a safe place, I will fight with you!" Staff Officer Feng only felt that he had been hit by an arrow in the knee and walked out stupidly. "The battalion commander is right, it's time for me to cheer up, many people are putting their lives in my hands, cheers, old brothers of the assault battalion!" In the huge battle fortress, only the commander-in-chief was left drinking alone with tears in his eyes
