Chapter 72: The Tragic Battle of Attack and Defense (1)

Fortunately, in addition to the 50,000 rounds of ammunition collected, there were hundreds of thousands of unloaded bullets left in the entire army.

In addition to a Federal-style rifle, the basic equipment of a Union soldier is a military dagger, a cartridge bag, and a small backpack. Before the start of the campaign, each soldier was assigned twenty full magazines and three hundred rounds of ammunition, each in a magazine and a small backpack.

So, Yue Huoqi hurriedly ordered the lieutenant colonel to let the soldiers gather all the bullets in their backpacks, and then ordered the soldiers to load the bullets into empty magazines and supply them to the soldiers in the forward position.

When all the guns and grenades of the soldiers were gathered, it was found that there were still tens of thousands of guns and grenades left in the whole team, which made Yue Huanqi happy, and then selected a thousand soldiers to be sent to the forward position, five hundred soldiers were responsible for using gun grenades to shoot, and the remaining five hundred soldiers were responsible for changing ammunition for them.

Coupled with the remaining 27 miniature nuclear bombs in the entire army, it should be enough to hold out until the landing of the battleship.

At the foot of the mountain, insects continue to emerge from the wormhole, gather at the foot of the mountain, and look at the position halfway up the mountain.

In addition to the ordinary Arekny bugs, there were five pitch-black fire-breathing insects dragging their heavy bodies towards the foot of the mountain, and every time the fire-breathing insects took a step forward, their thick bodies would always crush a dozen Arekney bugs to death, but those Arekney bugs turned a deaf ear, without a trace of fear and fear, and none of the Arekny bugs avoided it, rushing towards the bottom of the mountain like a dead soldier.

I don't know how long it took, but the sky gradually brightened. As far as the eye can see, the sky is slightly revealing an orange-yellow light, and as time passes, the orange-yellow halo continues to spread and become more and more intense. Pale golden sunlight shone through the thick clouds, plating a thin layer of gold armor on the soldiers' bodies.

Unlike the red glow of the earth, the Klandav sun gives people a kind of leisurely stroll, the pale golden sunlight sprinkles on the shoulders and backs of the soldiers, dizzy and soft bones.

Finally, the twin stars slowly poked their heads out of the clouds, and two golden balls of light, one large and one small, intersected, illuminating the entire area of Krandauff.

The soldiers on the mountain finally saw the situation below.

Ten thousand? Fifty thousand? Lakh? Or hundreds of thousands? No, no one can count the number of Arekni worms under the mountain.

This is the real sea of worms! All the insect swarms that humans have encountered before are not enough to describe the word sea of insects.

Looking down from the mountainside, the Arekni worms stretch from the foot of the mountain to the other end of the horizon, and within a radius of dozens of kilometers, the mountains are full of the figures of the Arekni worms, as far as the eye can see.

They advanced one by one, forming a sea of gold under the golden sunlight of the twin stars.

After seeing the number of insects under the mountain, all the soldiers were stunned, their mouths wide open, but they couldn't say a word.

Is this the enemy we are fighting against? How can we hold on? Almost all the soldiers had this idea in their hearts, and in the face of such a terrifying number of worms, most of the soldiers directly lost confidence.

With a hissing of the Arekni worms, they finally launched a general assault on the human position, surging towards the entrance at the foot of the mountain like a raging wave.

Seeing the insects attacking at the foot of the mountain like a flood, the soldiers involuntarily felt a sense of powerlessness from the bottom of their hearts, and looked at the insects pouring up from the aisle at the foot of the mountain, and they were at a loss.

"The aisle at the foot of the mountain is so narrow that they can't rush up! If you don't want to die, fire at me! The sound of the moon was particularly crisp and beautiful on the silent mountains, like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of the soldiers.

The soldiers raised their rifles as if they had just woken up from a dream, and two thousand angry tongues of fire flashed halfway up the mountain. With the frantic shouts of the soldiers, the locust-like bullets poured down from the mountainside, and the dozens of Arecny worms that rushed to the forefront were instantly beaten to pieces.

The strange topography at the bottom of the mountain and the narrow path up the mountain formed a natural buffer zone, which could only accommodate up to five Arekney bugs at a time, and this natural geographical advantage greatly slowed down the progress of the bugs.

The continuous fire of 2,000 soldiers pinned the bugs' footsteps to the foot of the mountain, and the bugs could not enter the slightest bit. Whenever they run out of bullets, a soldier behind them will hand them a rifle full of bullets.

After the rifle bullets in his hand were finished, the defending soldier threw the gun directly to the ground, quickly took the rifle full of bullets handed by his companion from behind, and shot without stopping for a moment.

At the same time, the grenade soldiers were placed on the flanks of the positional defense, and the grenades in their hands were sprayed towards the swarm at the foot of the hill, and with the great power of the grenades, several Arecny bugs in the dense swarm were blasted to pieces.

In a short time, the foot of the mountain was filled with a thick pile of insect corpses, almost blocking the road up the mountain.

However, more Arekny worms kept crossing over the corpses and crawling towards the mountainside, and some even tried to climb up the steep mountain wall on the side, but how could the steep and smooth mountain wall be so easy to climb? Countless insects climbed two or three meters and then slid down helplessly, and finally had to give up.

As more and more Arekni worms were eliminated, a hill of insect corpses gradually formed at the foot of the mountain, which caused considerable obstacles to the Zerg's attack.

Suddenly, an orange-red flame erupted from behind the corpse mountain, and the high-temperature flames instantly melted the corpse mountain into ashes, and the corpse mountain that blocked the Zerg's pace no longer existed.

At the same time, the soldiers finally saw the instigator of the flame attack. I saw a fire-breathing insect resembling an earth beetle moving its clumsy body, slowly stepping over the corpse, stepping on the corpse of the Arekni worm with every step, making a clicking sound.

Seeing that the firefly was moving towards the mountainside, countless bullets immediately hit the firefly's carapace, making a "crackling" sound, however, although the bullet hit the firefly, it was stuck in the firefly's carapace and failed to penetrate the firefly's body, so it could not cause fatal damage to the firefly.

The fire-breathing insect slowly climbed upwards like a huge mobile fortress, using its massive body as a cover, pushing the Zerg line forward quite a bit.

Using the flamethrowers as cover, countless Arekny bugs crossed over the sides and heads of the firethrowers, and rushed to the human position halfway up the mountain.

Seeing the Arekny Worms approaching, the soldiers had to withdraw their fire from the Spitfires and hit the fast-moving Arekney Bugs.

However, the fire-breathing insects, which had lost their fire suppression, immediately opened their thick limbs and accelerated their speed, advancing the Zerg front little by little.

If it splits its firepower to attack the fireworm, then the Arecny Worm that has lost its powerful firepower will soon press the position, but if it attacks the Arecny Worm with all its strength, then the Firefly can rely on its body to continuously compress the human battle line and push the Zerg battle line forward.

"Damn, that fire-breathing bug must be killed! Otherwise, our front will be compressed too much, and sooner or later it will be swallowed up by the sea of worms! Rego said as he loaded the rifle with a magazine and said to the soldier next to him who was shooting.

"Look over there!" The ace beside Rui Ge snorted to the right, motioning for Rui Ge to look over.

Rui Ge turned his head, only to see Yue Huoqi also standing at the forefront of the position, carrying a miniature nuclear bomb launcher on her shoulder, aiming at the flamethrower at the foot of the mountain.
