"You're from that planet?" Liu Jun asked.

"Arkansas, what about you?" Li De said.

"I'm in Prima. Arkansas is a remote place, right? I don't think I've heard of the colony star. ”

"Yes, a very small planet. Prima is a large colony, right? It seems like there are hundreds of millions of people! ”

"Yes! We also have a dedicated Chinese area there. Chinese people like us are really not bullied only there. ”

"And such a good thing?" Li De was surprised. He hadn't heard anything about the Chinese Quarter before.

"Yes, it was organized by us Chinese ourselves. Now on the planet Prima, there is a small city that is almost entirely Chinese. ”

"You say, why do the rest of the Federation hate us Chinese so much?" Li De asked puzzled, he had been asking the old guy this question before, but the old guy always talked about him left and right and did not give him a formal answer.

"You don't know yet? This is because of the rebel force that emerged in the Federation. Liu Jun whispered, "Almost all of the rebels are Chinese, and they are fighting against the Federation Army on various planets of the Federation, do you think those Federation people will like us?"

"I see! Where did you hear that? Li De asked. He wanted to go before Mocal. Indeed, Mokal and the others are all yellow-skinned Chinese, and they didn't notice it before.

The two talked for a long time until it was completely dark. Li De turned on the night vision mode of the fortress and observed the dark night.

The night was hard, and in the first half of the night, most people didn't even feel sleepy. After dinner, 20 people got together and talked mostly about yesterday's and today's battles.

The new communications soldier is a young man named Carvalro. He had served in the military for several years, talking to the recruits of Company D about the battles he had been in.

The Marines, who were no longer considered recruits, listened to Carvalro's narration, and were also excited, eager to try, eager to have a chance to show their skills immediately.

At around 10 p.m., company commander Frank Lampard shouted to the crowd: "Take care of the rest!" There's a shift tonight, so don't talk nonsense here! The first shift is going to stand guard! ”

The company commander drove people away, and everyone walked to their posts one after another. Among these 20 people, there were five people standing guard in the first shift, and Cavallo, a communications soldier, and Liu Jun, an engineer soldier, did not need to stand guard.

Because Li De was in charge of the fire control of the fortress, he turned into a person and went into the small fire control room, took two bottles of refreshing drinks, and was ready to stay up late at night.

At about 11 p.m., it was pitch black and there were only a few faint stars in the sky. There is no double moon shining tonight, and it looks extraordinarily dark.

There was an unsettling agitation in the darkness in the distance.

Here it comes! Li De, who was looking at the dynamic monitor, secretly said in his heart, those bugs are finally here.

"Alert! The Zerg is approaching! "The sound of the fortress was played. Everyone in the fortress immediately took their weapons and prepared to meet the enemy.

"Bring your night vision devices!" Company Commander Frank Lampard reminded the soldiers of Company D.

The hundreds of large searchlights on the top of the fortress were all turned on, and the strong light blinded the bugs instantly, and the swarm was a little chaotic.

Just as the bugs were in chaos, hundreds of howitzers and projectiles shot out, flying into the swarm and exploding huge fireballs.

Footage on Li Detong's monitor showed thousands of giant mantis flowing in the dark, searchlights illuminating their blurred figures. Behind the giant mantis, a number of belly snakes appeared, and the belly snakes spat out fishy acid and landed on the fortress.

After paying a lot of price, the Zerg finally extinguished all the searchlights that emitted strong light. Without the illumination of these lights, human soldiers can only see blurry images of the Zerg through the guò night vision device, and the night vision of the Zerg is very good.

At the same time, the steel plate on the outer layer of the fortress was also corroded by a large amount of acid, and the saw mantis launched a charge against the human position, and tens of thousands of giant mantis rushed towards the human fortress with flying bullets. Although the non-stop chainsaw mantis was shot into a sieve by bullets, these human fortresses were a little weak in the face of the impact of the Zerg.

General Douglas was also the first to get the information about the Zerg attack. In the dark, he did not dare to command the air force units to rise into the air, so he sent them again, and the ground troops supported the positions on the high ground.

The Zerg's attacks at night seemed to be more ferocious than during the day, and the fortresses at the front of the human positions were constantly under attack, and the shape was precarious.

The fort where Company D was located was located to the west of the position, in the direction of the Zerg point attack. More than a dozen people in the fortress shot desperately, blocking the flood of insects.

Li De was in the fire control room of the fortress, and together with Liu Jun, he controlled the automatic cannon of the fortress and fired at the swarm. These automatic guns were mounted on the outside of the fortress, with guò manipulators and aimed in the direction of fire. Although the accuracy of the strike is limited, the firepower is strong.

Under the onslaught of the Zerg, the first wave of giant mantis onslaught cleaned the automatic artillery on the outside of the fortress.

Engineer Liu Jun angrily slapped the control platform, and then began to control the maintenance machine to repair the damage of various parts of the fortress.

There is no way to go on like this, only a few more such shocks, and the fortress will definitely be lost. When the time comes, they will all become food for the bugs.

In desperation, Li De walked out of the fire control room. He looked at the equipment he had now, an automatic rifle, a dozen magazines, ten howitzers, and the portable armor that Karin had given him earlier.

When Karin left, she left a set of light combat armor for Li De, which was the same model that Li De had equipped when he was on a mission last time. It may be that Karin also guessed that Li De might be in danger.

At the beginning of this campaign, Li De kept his portable armor with him. His previous bad premonition had made him cautious, and now this portable armor could really come in handy. Once the fortress is lost, he has a much better chance of survival while wearing battle armor.

When Li De came out of the fire control room wearing a mecha, the soldiers of Company D were dumbfounded. They rarely came into contact with such a thing as a personal mecha, and they all looked at Li De, who was wearing tawny metal armor and looked like a machine, as if they were looking at monsters, their eyes were round, and they all forgot that they wanted to continue shooting.

"You bastards, don't you shoot me yet! The bugs are about to rush in! The bearded company commander shouted at the automatic rifle in his hand to bring everyone back to their senses.

Lampard took one look at Lee De and said: "Boy! I knew you weren't easy! It's really not ordinary people who can get this kind of thing! Don't worry, I'll take care of you! ”

Li De smiled noncommittally, seeing that the company commander had misunderstood. But he didn't refute it much, and now was not the time to explain. The Zerg's attack intensified again, and the fortress was tinkled by the long feet of the giant mantis.

Company D stepped up its firepower, and countless bullets flew out dragging the tail of the flames. The soldiers' shoulders were numb from the recoil of their guns, but they kept firing, changing magazines, and continuing to fire.

But they can't kill the giant mantis that was on top of their fortress. Originally, these giant mantis were supposed to be dealt with by the fortress on the side. But the two fortresses around them were like dumb fires, allowing the giant mantis to sit on top of their heads, beating the fortress's protection with large pincers.

"MD, what are these grandsons doing? Are you going to watch us feed the bugs? A Marine shouted.

"I don't know, we won't be able to last long if this continues!"

"We've broken through three layers of protection, so that in half an hour at most, the bugs can make a big hole in the top of our heads." Engineer Liu Jun said.

"Contact HQ and report our situation here!" The company commander said.

"I've escalated the situation, but there is no response." Said the signal soldier.

"How so?" The company commander looked surprised and anxious. If you let the bugs rush in, they'll be all done.

The recruits began to panic, and their originally determined eyes began to flicker, looking at each other at their comrades. At this time, I don't know who said: "This guy is wearing a combat mech, and he is the only one among us who can survive." ”

Suddenly, all eyes were on Li De. This made Li De very uncomfortable.

"You think you can safely escape under the siege of so many bugs with a small mecha?" The bearded company commander said.

"This is the TR-3 lightweight portable combat armor, which can play a role in basic protection and assistance, and more than double the combat effectiveness. But under the siege of so many bugs, the chance of survival should not exceed 10%. Engineer Liu Jun also said on the side.

Hearing these words, the original strange eyes gradually retracted. Now the key thing is how to hold the fortress, because the fortress, once lost, there is nothing.

"Now we have no other way, if we stay here, those bugs will come in sooner or later. Why don't we run back. A frightened recruit said.

"You're amazing! Are you running as fast as those four-legged bugs? The bearded company commander scolded

The soldiers of Company D began to get restless, and everyone was anxiously coming up with various ideas, but none of them were practical.

"I'll go out and clean up those bugs." Li De said suddenly.

Everyone widened their glasses and looked at Li De in disbelief. In this case, going out is tantamount to looking for death

"You can't get out!" Liu Jun shouted, "It's full of insects outside, you won't be able to last long." It doesn't make any sense at all. ”

"Then when the worms dig in, they will die as well. I think that since they are all going to die, it is better to fight vigorously to the death! Li De said decisively.

The bearded company commander took Li De's hand and said, "You can't go!" It's full of bugs outside, how can you clean it up? Let's get in touch with Command again! ”

Li De looked at the company commander and said, "The command headquarters may not work, let me try it!" At least I'm still protected by mechs, so I won't die so easily. ”

As he spoke, Li De picked up two automatic rifles, brought a dozen magazines, and walked to the gate of the fortress.

Liu Jun looked at Li De reluctantly, his eyes full of admiration.

"I'm a general, and I don't die so easily. Rest assured! After speaking, Li De put on his helmet and made a gesture to let Liu Jun open the door.
