Chapter 120: First Victory

"Little Tiger."

The two soldiers who were knocked out of the way and escaped quickly got up from the ground, pounced on Xiaohu's side, probed the tip of his nose with their fingers, and found that they were no longer breathing, and the tears in their eyes immediately seemed to flow as if they were dripping.

People can't help but think of a sentence, men don't flick when they have tears, just because they haven't reached the sad place!

"Brute!"

One of them jerked to his feet.

The Zerg were still besieging the city, and he obviously knew that now was not the time to grieve.

With tears on his face, he quickly bent down to pick up the machine gun that had fallen to the ground and rushed to the city wall.

At this time, the Zerg had recovered from the paralysis caused by the electric shock, and half of its body had already reached the head of the city.

"Die!"

Seeing this scene, the soldier with the machine gun was not afraid, with a look of madness, he flicked his arm, and the butt of the gun directly slammed into the jaw of this zerg.

Bang,

Because of the anger, the soldier's latent power seemed to be stimulated, and he smashed the Zerg who was about to ascend to the city with only the butt of his gun.

Seeing this scene, the remaining soldiers also reacted, and hurriedly picked up their weapons to support them, and the two of them worked together to slightly curb the speed of the Zerg climbing the city wall.

Less than ten seconds later, a new soldier joined their group, forming a full three-man team to continue to stop the Zerg.

……

The battle lasted for nearly four hours, and it was not until noon that the Zerg began to retreat.

Seeing that the tide of insects besieging the city began to retreat, a cheer suddenly sounded on the top of the city.

"The worm tide has receded, and we have won."

The soldiers who were still alive at the head of the city excitedly waved their weapons in their hands and cheered to celebrate this hard-won victory!

After the cheers, there is sorrow!

The Ninth Army was stationed, and the air of grief spread.

There is a huge square, and in front of the square, two straight flagpoles are erected, on which are hung two flags.

On the one hand, there is a flag representing the world government.

Blue on a white background, with a scene embroidered on it, is the holy island where the headquarters of the world government is located.

On the one hand, it is the flag representing the Earth Defense Force!

It is embroidered with two crossed swords, symbolizing the indomitable and fearless courage of the soldiers!

These two flags were spread in the air and fluttered in the wind.

Under this banner, thousands of stretchers are neatly arranged, covered with white cloth, and the flag of the Earth Defense Force is embroidered on the white cloth.

Looking back, many officers and soldiers stood upright, each of them with a sad look on their faces.

"Salute!"

A straight figure at the front shouted with full strength.

Looking at his appearance, it was the commander of the Ninth Legion, Qiu Ming.

As soon as his voice fell, everyone present, whether it was an officer or a soldier, immediately saluted, and his movements were uniform and neat, very powerful, and gave people a feeling of momentum.

"Brother, let's go!"

Qiu Ming's eyes were red, and he drank loudly in pain.

"Brothers, go all the way!"

The officers and soldiers shouted in unison.

As soon as the cheers fell, some people's eyes were red, and some people even couldn't help but shed tears, but the strong ones didn't cry.

Lying on these thousands of stretchers are the soldiers who died in this battle and the Ninth Army.

In just one morning, thousands of men of the Ninth Legion died, leaving their lives in the city forever.

You can see the cruelty of war!

……

After the mourning ceremony for the fallen soldiers, Qiu Ming and his officers returned to the regiment headquarters.

"Are all the wounded arranged?"

Walking on the road, Qiu Ming asked.

"It's all arranged, as long as there is still a breath left, they are all sent to the hospital for treatment, and no one is left behind."

An officer behind him hurriedly replied.

"Yes."

Qiu Ming nodded and said again.

"The soldiers who died this time must be counted clearly, not one person should be missed, and people are sent to comfort their families, parents, wives, and children, all of whom are included in the military's A-level protection objects."

"Understood."

The officer behind him nodded repeatedly.

Becoming an A-level protection object of the military is equivalent to having the protection of the military, even if the Zerg break through the city gate and have to retreat, there is also army protection along the way, and the chance of survival is greatly improved.

This can be regarded as the final compensation given by the military to the fallen soldiers!

In the headquarters of the Ninth Army Corps, a war summary meeting has been held.

"What do you think of this campaign?"

Qiu Ming, who was on the first place, asked his generals.

"In this battle, although we have a certain loss, but in comparison, the loss of the Zerg is greater, according to the statistics of cleaning the battlefield, this time the Zerg side, the casualties are more than 300,000, which is a hundred times that of us."

A major general said excitedly.

This kind of news, appearing at such a time, can really have an uplifting effect.

No, as soon as the major general's voice fell, the heavy atmosphere in the conference room was almost swept away, and everyone's face was full of confidence.

Seeing this scene, Qiu Ming frowned and said.

"Are you rejoicing too soon?"

As soon as Qiu Ming said this, the officers present immediately looked at Qiu Ming with puzzled eyes, obviously not understanding what he meant.

Qiu Ming reminded lightly.

"Didn't you notice that there are almost no high-level Zerg in the Worm Tide army that attacked us this time, and there are no rare worm species?"

As soon as Qiu Ming said this, most of the officers present were stunned, and then they realized that something was wrong.

With such a huge insect tide, it is impossible not to have high-level Zerg and rare insect species.

But if there is, why are the Worm Tide armies that launched the attack today all of them some first-order ordinary Zerg? The only spirit species that came up was only firing some long-range strikes from a distance, and it didn't show up at all.

"Today's attack is just to test us, otherwise there wouldn't be only these cannon fodder."

Qiu Ming said in a deep voice.

The first-order ordinary zerg does play the role of cannon fodder in the insect tide army, and the really powerful ones are those high-level zergs and rare insect species.

Once they appear in the insect tide army, the losses of the defending army will probably skyrocket!

"Moreover, the radar shows that the insect tide has not been gathered, and the insect tide that attacked us today is only the 50 million troops who took the lead in opening the way, and the follow-up has not yet followed, once they converge, I am afraid that a real general attack will be launched."

Qiu Ming sighed and said.

As soon as Qiu Ming's words fell, the atmosphere became heavy again.

When the insect tide is gathered, the number may be more than 200 million.

200 million, this number sounds like a feeling of powerlessness in my heart.

When the tide of 50 million insects hits, it is already an endless sight.

Replaced by 200 million Zergs, with high-level Zergs and rare Zergs, I am afraid it will be a bloody battle that is a hundred times more tragic than today's battle!

"When the order is issued, each unit performs its own duties, and must be treated with caution and must not be taken lightly. In addition, the radar satellite unit should closely monitor the movement of the insect tide and report the situation as soon as there is a situation. ”

Qiu Ming gave an order in a deep voice!
