Chapter 59: The Eve of the Battle
Colonel Winder was the commander of the Fifteenth Legion, and this combat operation was honestly the most experienced in battle, and he was a little uncertain. www.biquge.info Of course, this is not a problem of troops at all, but he does not know at all how much strength these recruits can exert once the battle begins.
In his life, he has experienced large and small wars, wars within the Terran state, and large battles with the Zerg. With his excellent command ability, he has become a regimental commander, and it stands to reason that there should be no so-called tension or worry at all.
The more than 200,000 Terran troops can theoretically withstand the sea of millions of insects, because the casualty ratio of the human race and the Zerg has always been 1:10, and the more than 200,000 people army can be comparable to two million Zerg, how can it be defeated by about one million Zerg?
But when he thought of the lazy and innocent appearance of these recruits, Colonel Winder couldn't help but feel a little worried. Not to mention that those ground troops are all old, weak, sick and disabled sent by the Dharan Federation, even many of the soldiers on those battleships are young people who have not graduated from college, and the only few times in their lives they have firing experience is still on the game console, once the battle breaks out, what if they hit their own people with a hand trembling?
Especially the captains of those light warships, where did they come from, did they just graduate from high school, and they were sent over after being taught casually? Or maybe he came from one of the many pheasant universities in the Federation of Dhahran?
He had also heard of the reinforcements sent by the Dharan Federation, so he only prayed that those gunners wouldn't accidentally hurt their allies, and that the radar soldiers wouldn't mistake the Zerg for a meteorite when they saw the Zerg approaching.
The meteorite belt on the 12450 is the last line of defense, theoretically, but Colonel Winder can't help but regard this place as the main battlefield - those light and heavy warships are also made by the Dharan Federation, could it be the old warships that are about to be scrapped?
After a while, the flagship received a report that the sentinels had probably discovered the Zerg legion, and the picture that came over shocked everyone's hearts.
The overwhelming black pressure seemed to be a purple cloud that swallowed everything in the starry sky, and a large number of Zerg advanced with an ugly and hideous appearance, those mouths covered with fangs, those drooling limbs, and their strange appearances, which made many soldiers who had not seen the Zerg scream in horror.
The ground forces could not see this picture, but the soldiers on those light warships and heavy warships were watching the live broadcast, and the terrifying appearance of the Zerg on the screen completely exceeded the pictures of those Zerg on the Internet of the Dharan Federation in the past.
Obviously, the Zerg are vulnerable in the propaganda, why do these Zerg look so terrifying? What about those hookworms? Shouldn't we be fighting against those small Zerg that are one meter in size? What, that's the weakest zerg, and it's the ground forces that are in charge? What about playing with eggs?
The battleship soldiers were originally in a state of excitement on the eve of the battle, but when they were about to fight and fight the Zerg, they suddenly began to fear.
It's not just that there are too many Zergs such as Wyverns, giving people a sense of fear that they swarm in, but there are also even more terrifying large Zerg, several kilometers long, are these Zerg really creatures? Oh my God, even if the legendary Nebula Beast saw such a large insect with a body of several kilometers, it would have to flee from the wilderness, right?
The soldiers looked at each other, and they all saw a look of fear on each other's cheeks.
Anxiety began to pervade, and these first-time soldiers began to wonder if they would be able to fight against so many terrifying creatures.
If you can save your life, it doesn't matter if you are a deserter...... Some soldiers began to think so.
"Can you transfer the mecha unit to the first line of defense...... I don't think we can stop ......" Several young captains had already begun to try to communicate with Captain Wind, and they had already guessed their fate.
"Nope."
Colonel Winder's reply was simple, he had already prepared to use the meteorite belt as a decisive battlepoint, how could he possibly put the vital mecha troops on the front line?
The first line of defense was originally used to consume the hard power of the Zerg, and the heavy warships of the second line of defense would find an opportunity to bombard those giant Zerg with their main guns, and then the meteorite belt would be the place to clean up the largest number of small Zerg.
Colonel Winder didn't want to give up the first line of defense like this, at least he was willing to end the battle in the first line of defense for the rest of his legions - but the fifteenth legion was sent by the Darlan Federation to the old, weak, sick and disabled, especially the battleships, which were simply a product of the last century, and they were not prepared to make meritorious contributions if they were sent over, right?
Many of the young and vigorous battleshipmen began to cheer up their companions, but their own teeth were shaking, and it had no effect at all.
However, there is still a little hope for the fighter fleet, and the speed of space fighters has always been fast, and they can still run if they can't beat it.
But is it really good to think about running away before the battle?
……
Su Zhu stood on top of a meteorite in the meteorite belt, with a hard rock ground under his feet. There is a small defensive base on the ground, which looks like an enlarged version of the bunker, but it concentrates all the defensive forces on this meteorite.
There is also a mecha in the bunker, about ten meters high, with four legs that looks like a spider-like standard mecha, well, it is also a product that should have been eliminated in the last century.
This meteorite is about a dozen kilometers in diameter, and it is only a very inconspicuous one in the meteorite belt. Thousands of meteorites are lined with defensive forces, but they are not visible from the surface.
On this meteorite, the sky is the vast universe, Su Zhu is wearing a combat uniform, and a handsome helmet wraps Su Zhu's head in it. This combat suit is still relatively comfortable, not to mention the defensive power, it will not be very uncomfortable to walk in the universe after wearing it.
Su Zhu, who was wearing a blue combat uniform, turned around and walked towards the defense base. There are more than twenty team members there, plus the pilots of the mecha, a total of less than thirty people, which is all the defense force on this meteorite.
Walking into the defensive base, the soldiers were very nervous, and the joints of the hands holding the guns were white and very hard.
Su Zhu calmly looked at these soldiers through the helmet, now they have long lost their previous heroism and excitement, several people are trembling, and their state is very bad. The atmosphere was dreary, the air seemed to freeze, and everyone didn't say a word, waiting for the battle to come.
The communication system in the helmet has been quiet for a long time, and it stands to reason that the public channel should not be so quiet, at least from time to time the captains of the first line of defense should be heard constantly reporting. At this moment, no one has spoken in the communication channel for a long time, and Su Zhu guessed that it was probably Colonel Wende, the commander of the 15th Legion, who pinched the channel.
Why pinch? Naturally, there are some things that cannot be heard by the ground forces.
For example, screaming.
Of course, this is just Su Zhu's speculation, and it stands to reason that he should be able to fight, but depending on the quality of the soldiers, it is estimated that Su Zhu's meteorite belt here will still participate in the war at that time.
Su Zhu didn't expect that Colonel Wende actually wanted to use the meteorite belt as a place for a real decisive battle.
Thinking of this, Su Zhu glanced at his comrades-in-arms on the same team with some pity. said that he was talking about comrades-in-arms, but Su Zhu knew that they would definitely die.
It's not that they will die in the battle with the Zerg, but Su Zhu won't let them live at all.
Otherwise, something is seen, how can it be explained?
