Li De originally wanted to contact Clark in one direction, but thinking of the conversation just now, Li De was still a little unhappy in his heart. So he contacted Kliman.

"Sir!"

"Li De? What's the matter? Kliman's tone was noticeably better. What happened today shocked him too much, and he was also impressed by this young man.

"Sir, there's still something wrong with the situation."

"Oh? What do you see again? Passing Guò's earlier events, Kliman also thought about it carefully, and in addition to the young man's fighting skills, the earliest warning seemed to be shouted by him first. He felt as if the young man could see things that others couldn't.

"Why are there only giant mantis mantises?" Li De knows.

"How do I TM know. I'm not the commander of the Zerg. Kliman wasn't embarrassed to say that this was the first time he had seen a living Zerg up close.

"Also, do you think we can withstand them if they rush up together?" Li De asked again.

"This, it seems to be difficult." Although reluctant to admit it, Kliman spoke it out.

"Then why don't they go if they have the ability to eat us?"

"That's stupid, they're brainless bugs." As soon as Kliman finished speaking, he realized that he was wrong.

A trap that can trap all of its own people, a successful plan that can hide from the army staff. Can it still be said that they are still brainless bugs?

"What is their purpose?" Kliman still did not grasp the crux of the problem and continued to ask Li De.

"How many troops are there to support this time?"

"I don't know the exact number, I heard Clark say there will be an armored brigade." When Kliman finished speaking, his mouth could no longer be closed. Immediately turned around and ran towards Clark's command room.

"Clark, I'm going to talk to you," Kliman yelled and rushed into the command room. All eyes were on him.

"What's wrong?" Clark looked puzzled. Clark was listening to the captains of several squads report on the damage and make fire assessments on the Guò communicator. Thinking of the previous task given to Kliman and his current expression, I felt a hint of something bad about it.

"Is it necessary?" Clark confirmed it anyway.

"Yes, it must be talked about separately."

"I'll go on later." Clark spoke to the captains.

"Yes!" Several captains replied.

"What's wrong?" Clark looked at the anxious Kriman and asked again.

"Just now, that kid named Lide told me—" Kliman told Clark about his previous analysis, and Clark's brow furrowed tightly.

"This looks suspicious, what do you think?" Clark is also a smart person, and he didn't think about this aspect because he had to think about survival before, and he didn't think that the bugs would have any tactics. But now it seems that there are indeed big doubts.

"Where are our reinforcements?" Kliman asked.

Hearing this, Clarke's brow furrowed even tighter. He already had an idea in his mind, but he didn't want to accept it. But if he designed such a game himself, this is definitely the best move. With a little chill in his heart, his trembling right hand picked up the communicator that was talking to the headquarters.

"Chief Allen, I think we made a mistake by asking the support troops to return immediately, and at the same time use satellites to do a deep scan of the front line and the area here." Allen is the commander of the forward base.

"What's wrong? Clark, those brothers are here to save you. ”

"We've all been fooled, the bugs didn't want to eat us at all, they targeted the support force in the first place." Clark said anxiously. There was a hint of desperation in his voice, and he only wished that he would still have time to do this.

There was a panicked sound on the other side of the communicator, and the sound of some calls rang out.

"M's, Clark, you're late." Allen's voice pierced Clarke's ear like a needle.

The commander of the unit of the rescue squad was named Haring. He was a tall military academy graduate, now with the rank of major. He usually works in the command headquarters, and when he came to the planet of Seleone, he has been working in the rear base.

Less than a week after he came to the front line, such a situation suddenly appeared, and he introduced himself and accidentally became the commander of this support force.

Colonel Allen, who commanded the front, gave him a whole armored brigade to rescue those thirty people, and in his opinion, with the firepower of an armored brigade, it was still very simple to destroy hundreds of bugs.

In the Federal Army, an armored brigade is equivalent to an armored infantry battalion. This time, the team included 20 tanks, 35 armored personnel carriers, and 40 light armored vehicles, including almost 1,000 troops. And the firepower is extremely powerful.

"Get around the mine and don't get caught in the way of those big trucks." Haring gave instructions from inside the armored transporter, and at the same time looked at the mission carefully in confusion. In his plan, all he had to do was drive the tank to the edge of the battlefield and the battle would be resolved after a burst of shelling.

There was a loud bang, and Harlem was suddenly startled. "We were attacked!" There was a shouting from inside the intercom. "Report the situation!" Harlem reacted immediately.

"The rear team is attacked, and there are bugs in the ground!"

"Damn, shoot ** underground, find those damn things!"

The soldiers immediately stopped and fired into the ground, throwing grenades and grenades into the cracks in the ground, causing a massive explosion underground. There was also a shrill roar from underground, and some green and purple mixed viscous liquid spewed out of the cracks in the surface.

"Pit viper!" There was a roar coming from the communicator.

Haring had climbed out of the armored transport and was standing on the roof of the vehicle in command. "Four teams to the north, five teams to the south, to stop the pit vipers. Why hasn't the tank joined the clan yet? ”

"The ground is cracked, and there's no way to support it."

"Don't brace it, just fire." Haring turned to his lieutenant again, "Have you reported the situation here to headquarters?" ”

"Yes, it's already teleported."

"Well, these bugs seem to be on our side. The whole team contracted its defenses, and the second armored convoy supported the west. ”

Gradually, Haring's forces gathered and shrunk together, using the heavy steel plates of armored vehicles and tanks to defend against the Zerg attack.

The main force of the Zerg this attack was pit vipers, a group of more than five meters long resembling a giant pit viper, they did not have tough claws, nor could they bite off human mouthparts, but they could spray green acid.

The acid can be sprayed tens of meters away, splashing onto the armor of armored vehicles and tanks, corroding the metal and emitting a cloud of white smoke.

Because the pit vipers were all lying in ambush underground, they were very close to the armored brigade when they came out, and some were even under the feet of the human soldiers, and the human army fell into confusion for a while.

"These bugs are so hard to deal with!" Haring frowned and said to the adjutant beside him. "Is the tank ready? Start with a salvo, and then prepare a mobile force to attack. ”

Just as he was about to give the order and try to attack, the ground suddenly shook again, and with a loud boom, the entire place where the armored force was located suddenly fell.

On the flat ground, a large crater suddenly appeared several hundred meters in diameter and several meters deep.

It turned out that in order to deal with the human forces, the Zerg basically hollowed out the entire underground. The originally fragile ground, coupled with the previous explosions of artillery and grenades underground, finally could not support the heavy armored forces on the ground.

The entire armored brigade fell into the pit, and the armored vehicles and tanks that were originally a barrier became a nightmare for human soldiers, and countless people were stoned to death.

In the midst of the dust and chaos in the sky, the Zerg swarmed up and spat acid into the pit, and the giant mantis jumped into the pit and killed humans with its huge long legs and mouthparts.

After only ten minutes, no one heard again.

One Zerg pit viper hissed at the sky, and all the other bugs lowered their heads, as if they were still mourning something, even though they had just won a big victory. Then, led by this pit viper, he left the battlefield.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Clark and Kliman, discussing what Reid had predicted, came with desperate news from the communicator.

An entire armored brigade was wiped out by the Zerg, and more than a thousand people, including the commander, survived. Headquarters sent an order that there would be no more reinforcements until the situation was thoroughly investigated.

In the command room, both Clark and Kliman froze, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

Thoroughly investigated, the concept is very vague. When exactly did the investigation start, and how thorough was it? This result of the General Staff can be said to be the basic abandonment of them.

You know, the Zerg was ambushed underground before. Ordinary human radar cannot see the underground, and it requires special density scanning and deep scanning to detect it. And the time that humans have been on this planet for a short time is not yet perfect, such reconnaissance equipment is not perfect.

An armored brigade has already been taken out before, how many more men will General Douglas send to the rescue now? There are thousands of giant mantis mantis surrounding them, how long can they withstand it?

Clark and Kliman were silent for a minute, glancing at each other. They all knew that the Zerg had calculated them this time.

"What should I do?" Kliman asked Clark helplessly.

"The situation is very complicated now, and at the moment we can only continue to hold on here, or break through and go back." Clark said contemplatively, "I'd better tell all the captains the news first, and then see what they think." ”

"Okay." Kliman nodded and said helplessly. Tell the captains about this tragedy, I don't know what kind of reaction it will bring.

Clark turned on the intercom and told all the captains what was going on. Some captains let out a burst of curses, while others let out a long sigh and didn't reply.

"We're going to talk about whether we're going to break out or wait for help. What do you think? Clark asked for the captains' opinions.
