Chapter 449, the bug's counterattack

Around the temporary base of the Federation fleet, countless bugs surged out of the woods, and the target was the battleship that formed a circle.

The purple carapace of the giant insect is connected together, making it look like a wriggling carpet. There are not many types of insects, most of them are giant mantis and the occasional mantis king, and one or two giant beetles are like boulders in the waves in the swarm.

"Bugs! There are bugs! A Federation soldier shouted.

"All on alert! Get back on the ship! ”

"Alert! Weapon system activated! "In the bridge of a battleship, the first mate on the ship took over the captain of the off-ship battle and gave the command order.

"All aboard! Contact the Air Force and Mecha Units! The captain of another battleship ordered.

Soon, the federal forces quickly returned to their respective ships. The ship's reactor began to spin up, the engines started, and the weapons systems were put on alert. Battleships roared, and their hulls slowly rose from the trembling earth.

All the bugs that appear so far are from land warfare, and there are no flying bugs, so the battleship can undoubtedly get out of danger when it takes off.

Seeing the battleship rise into the air, those insects seemed to understand something, and did not forcibly rush towards the battleship, but kept a certain distance.

"Strafe the ground!" One of the captains ordered.

Hundreds of laser rays were fired from the underbelly of the battleship, which swept towards the swarm. The red laser cannon beam sliced through countless bugs like a hot knife slicing through butter. The swarm hissed and screamed, and gradually retreated into the jungle behind.

"They want to rush into the city and stop them!" This was stated by a captain in the fleet communications channel.

The captains of the rest of the battleships immediately thought about the gravity of the situation. Now that the marines in front are fighting against Xinhua in the city, if the swarm joins the battle, how many Federation soldiers will die? Will this war against Xinhua still succeed?

"Organize those bugs anyway!"

"These should be the last resort of Xinhuaguo! Hold on! ”

The captains quickly reached an agreement, and in the face of the swarm on the ground, the battleship formed a united front without hesitation and launched an air strike against the swarm.

The swarm seemed to panic. The giant mantis turned around and retreated into the jungle, the slow body of the giant beetle slowing down the pace of the giant mantis, and there seemed to be some pit vipers in the jungle who wanted to come out.

The pit viper has the ability to fight in the air. Their massive snake heads and powerful jaw muscles can spew bone spurs close to the speed of sound, piercing through the ship's alloy steel plates at a distance of more than a kilometer. If you let the swarms of pit vipers attack together, even the Yamato battleship will not be destroyed.

"Quick! There's a bug coming to the air! ”

"Get rid of those bugs!"

Several warships broke away from the fleet's long serpentine formation and headed for the edge of the jungle. There's a swarm of pit vipers trying to fight against the tide of insects that the giant mantis retreats from, and they're going to have to fight the attacking ships.

"Main Gun Storage!"

The golden red light began to condense at the bow of the battleship, and a second small sun seemed to appear in the sky.

"Fifty percent, seventy percent, ninety percent ......"

That's when it happened. A shadow shot out of the jungle. It was a purple ball, more than three meters in diameter, that flew like a cannonball into the main gun of the battleship that was gathering energy at hand.

"Unleash the energy!" The captain's eyes widened, and his beard stood up in excitement.

Unfortunately, before the fire controller could react, tragedy struck.

Flying out of the jungle was a self-detonating worm, which exploded the unstable biochemical liquid in its body as soon as it came into contact with the battleship's main gun. The insect's abdominal cavity is a large sac with two different body fluids, separated by a biofilm. When the self-detonating bug attacks. When a large sac in the abdominal cavity ruptures, the two body fluids mix together to create a violent chemical reaction.

A fireball melted the energy tube of the battleship's main gun, and all the energy of the main gun was released explosively, igniting a huge fireball at the bow of the ship.

The whole battleship shook. The heavy damage to the bow of the ship caused the bridge of the battleship to light up with red warning lights.

"Assess the damage! Retreat! The captain shouted, now also finding himself a little reckless, and seemed to be a little lost in the strafing of the bugs on the ground.

"Captain!" At this time, the first mate pointed to the floor-to-ceiling hanging window on the front of the bridge.

Countless self-detonating flying insects suddenly flew out of the woods. It is like a dark cloud covering the sky.

The ships of the Third Fleet in synchronous orbit were once again divided into more than a dozen C-class warships. The ships were all medium-sized frigates, and the ships quickly reduced in altitude. Enter the atmosphere of the Dresser Star.

The first battleships to land on the planet were all D-class warships, and they were a little powerless in the face of the attacks of self-detonating flying insects in the sky. Although these ships have more than 10 anti-aircraft guns, they are not effective in stopping the bugs in a suicide attack by self-detonating flying insects.

The battleship groups of the Federation began to show losses. The hulls of the warships hovering in the air were constantly emitting black smoke, and they looked crumbling. Swarms of pit vipers also appeared at this time, unleashing their deadliest attacks on the battered group of battleships.

Countless tenacious bone spurs flew out, and the bugs seemed to know the weakest points of these ships, and the bone spurs were shooting at the engines and power rooms of those ships.

When the fleet received an attack, the Federation Marines and mechs on the planet Dressey were also greatly surprised, and they also received the news of the appearance of the Zerg.

Colonel Maria was in a dilemma at this point. The soldiers of the new country in the underground base appeared, and engaged in fierce street battles with the marines and mecha teams who entered the base. At the same time, the troops left behind on the ground were also attacked and pinned down by the guerrillas of the New China Kingdom.

Now, I heard the news from the first mate of the battleship in the headset that the captain had died in battle, and the battleship had lost 84% of its power, and now it was unable to maintain a suspended state, and was invaded by insects after landing.

Colonel Maria frowned, but she believed that the Third Fleet would not be able to leave their hundreds of thousands of troops on the Dressers, and at least use the main guns of the battleships and destroyers to clear some obstacles for the ground forces.

The marines are now not allowed to enter the underground base, and there are still Skywalker squads among the defensive forces of the Xinhua Kingdom, and in the underground base that is not open, some Skywalkers with special abilities will erupt unimaginable.

A metallic Skywalker of the Yin Xinghe team, named Gao Lang, uses the Force to strengthen and control metal. He can use the terrain here to create some dead ends, and he can also create some bunkers to help his comrades in ambush.

On the other hand, on the side of the Federation, there seems to be no such preparation, and the battle is completely supported by the strong firepower of the mecha. Of course, the firepower of the mecha is fast, and the ordinary light weapons of Xinhuaguo have little effect on the mecha. Those mechs were like tanks that could move more freely, and the average Marine could only avoid them.

The war of the Dreiser Star has reached its most intense stage. The battleship groups landed by the Federation have already suffered heavy losses. In the face of countless self-detonating flying insects, many warships chose to retreat, they rose to a high altitude, leaving the altitude that those self-detonating flying insects could fly to, and even entered the stratosphere. But as a result, support for ground forces was lost.

Among them is Sanji's destroyer USS Milwaukee. Although Sanji is not there, the first mate on the ship has already made contact with Sanji, who is fighting in the city. After learning about the current situation, Sanji also felt that there was a good chance that those bugs would enter the battle against the federal land forces.

"Pick us up right away and get ready to evacuate!" Sanji ordered the first mate on the other end of the communicator.

At the same time, Zoro's frigate Eight-Two had already entered the atmosphere of the Dresser Star, and he kept shaking his head as he watched the battle below.

"Contact the battleship that can still fly, we will fight back!" Zoro said to the communicator.

"Thirty warships of all kinds have been contacted!"

"Good!" A playful smile tugged at the corners of Zoro's mouth. (To be continued......)
