"How did these bugs come from?" General Douglas asked angrily. They had done a tomography scan early this morning and confirmed that only the bugs were lying in ambush on the ground. Now, the bugs have appeared in the positions below the high ground.

"It should be the tunnel that has just been dug up, and the results of the underground tomography scan again are inconsistent with the results in the morning." A radarman said that he was in charge of collecting various reconnaissance numbers.

"These bugs are burrowing under us, how can our detector not show up?" General Douglas asked angrily, feeling guilty when he saw the countless Marines in front of him die tragically.

"Logically there will be vibration feedback, but the vibration from our artillery just now interfered with the detection signal. That's when these bugs were dug up. ”

General Douglas gasped, it seems that the brain worm tactics of the Zerg base on the highlands are extremely skillful. Know how to use the cover of human artillery fire to dig tunnels.

If they didn't bombard the bugs in ambush on the high ground, the charging troops would face a large number of casualties. But if you bomb those bugs, you will undoubtedly expose the position of the main force of your army, and at the same time give the bugs the opportunity to dig holes.

Thinking about it, even if he knew that the Zerg had another ambush, he would have fallen for the scheme.

Just as General Douglas was about to adjust, the Zerg attacked again. More than a dozen large holes were suddenly opened on the high ground, each of which was more than ten meters wide. A four-legged beast known as Cerberus runs out of its hole.

Cerberus is more than two meters tall and more than four meters long. They are like a combination of a canine and a porcupine, with strong forelimbs and great explosiveness. With two forward spikes on their backs, the thickness of their forearms, these deadly Cerberus can overturn a siege tank once they are charged.

Cerberus galloped down from the high ground at terrifying speeds. The mechanized troops in front of them could not withstand the onslaught of these monsters.

"Medium-range fire is turned on, and the wolf troops move. Release the drone, no matter what, hold your ground! General Douglas ordered.

For a time, the artillery of the siege tanks was aimed at the Cerberus that rushed down from the high ground. Electromagnetic howitzers rained down into the Cerberus, but did not slow them down.

In the mechanized troops ahead, the wolf chariots began to change, their wheels folded, and the shape of the chariot changed, turning into a humanoid mecha.

It was also the first time Li De had seen these humanoid mechas, and they stood up more than four meters high, like a huge mecha. The robot holds the rockets or flamethrowers that the previous vehicle is equipped with, and unleashes an attack on the menacing Cerberus.

Seeing the battle of these mechas, Li De felt that his heart beat a lot faster. He is so envious of these pilots in the wolf mecha, it must be very cool to control such a mecha!

Although the wolf chariot in the form of a chariot is also very flexible, it is very cumbersome in the face of these four-legged cerberus. After switching to a humanoid mech, the Wild Food Mecha has a flexibility that the tank cannot imagine, and they will be the main force against these Cerberus.

More than ten meters of flames erupted, and those Cerberus who ran at the front could already feel the heat wave coming towards them. Fearless, they rushed straight into the flames, and even if their bodies were scorched, they continued to rush forward until they fell to the ground.

Cerberus stormed into the human position, and the pig buggy and armored vehicles became vulnerable to their onslaught. Two Cerberus can effortlessly overturn an armored vehicle. The spikes on their backs have stabbed many Marines.

The wolf mech nimbly dodged the onrushing Cerberus while reaping their lives with fire. But those brutal Cerberus always cause some trouble for humans before they die.

After a morning of fierce fighting, the humans did not move a single step. The Zerg replaced defense with offense, and the attack on the human position gave General Douglas a headache.

Fortunately, the Zerg's attack is also showing signs of weakening. The bugs that had been in contact with the Marines had been distanced. After increasing the firepower of two regiments, the attack of the Zerg was finally suppressed. Humanity has also lost quite a few warriors.

Tens of thousands of Cerberus have been killed, and the mechs of the Wolf Force have almost been lost, and only a dozen of them are still struggling to support them. But fortunately, there are no more Cerberus rushing down.

"Hold the position, the armored forces move forward. I'm going to be pushed to the top of the ground again today, no matter what! General Douglas ordered.

In the rear of the human position, thousands of armored vehicles and hundreds of bipedal machines drove out. They coordinated with the landing team to march on the high ground ahead.

The ground was littered with human and bug corpses. The ground that the bugs had originally drilled out had been covered with pieces of alloy iron plates.

The hellhounds rushing down from the high ground and the pit vipers behind them had no way to stop the human advance. Humanity has finally climbed the slopes of the highlands again.

Rockets whistled out of armored vehicles and bipedal mechs, densely covering the front of the high ground. The siege tanks behind them also adjusted the angle of their electromagnetic howitzers to help the team clear the way with firepower.

Several wolf chariots fired more than a dozen small missiles into several large holes infested by Cerberus, knocking down the tunnels, and at the same time, each tunnel entrance was guarded by two wolf mechs, and the flamethrowers were aimed at the holes to prevent the bugs from coming out of the ambush behind.

After a morning's efforts, the main mechanized troops once again set foot on the high ground. At the same time, General Douglas also gave a new task.

Li De's D Company had no combat mission today, and he was in the camp with his comrades, watching the fierce battle ahead. When he saw the tactics of the bugs, Li De was anxious.

Leed noticed that in the afternoon, Company Commander Frank Lampard had gone to the headquarters. About half an hour later, the company commander walked back with a curse, and immediately gathered the remaining twenty soldiers of the company and prepared to set off.

"Where are you going?" One of the recruits asked, the blonde lad was lucky not to have been injured yesterday

"Yes! There are only a few of us left, do we want to finish them all? Another recruit said.

"What? I didn't let you go, what's the use of calling me? The bearded company commander said that his left hand was still injured, but he still had to go into battle. And we went up not as an offensive force, but as a defensive force. ”

"Defending troops? What do you mean? A diminutive soldier asked.

"You'll know when the time comes! In short, we went up to hide inside the fortress, not to rush to the front line! The company commander comforted the recruits. He knew that in his current state, even if these recruits relied on the bunker, they might not be able to withstand the counterattack of the bugs.

When Li De heard this, he felt a little wrong. He couldn't tell what was wrong, but he could feel a strong sense of crisis.

Since his first mission, Li De's sense of crisis has been particularly accurate. This time, he also believed that he would be in danger, but he did not know when it would come in.

Or perhaps, the danger was coming, but he didn't see it.

"Everyone pack their gear! This time there is no need to receive ammunition, there is one on the front line. Depart directly after an hour. The company commander yelled loudly.

After more than an hour of preparation, Company D set off again in full gear. Together with another F Company, they set off in personnel carriers.

The engineering troops, behind the combat units, came to the edge of the heights and began to build temporary fortresses. Thousands of engineers began to move, one by one engineering vehicles were deployed, and hundreds of fortresses slowly sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, symbolizing that humanity had occupied another piece of territory. This time the fort was fortified, and it was not at the same level as the previous mining operations.

It was a busy afternoon, and it was almost dusk that the makeshift fortress was erected. Some of the engineers also had to work overtime to reinforce parts of the fort at night.

Li De followed the troops to the assigned forts, which, from the outside, looked like semicircular plates, buckled to the ground. Such an inclined plane design is designed to reduce external impulses. The forts are scattered on the high ground, and it feels like a series of undulating dirt bags.

Dozens of huge spotlights were installed on the top of the fort to cope with the night battle. The purpose of the spotlight is not only to illuminate the bugs, but also to attract their attention and give the shady fortress more chance to survive.

Entering the inside of the fortress, Li Decai felt the scientific and technological content of this fortress. Looking at the various control systems, controlling the inside and outside of this fortress of more than 100 square meters. In addition to the eighteen men of Company D, a signal corpsman and an engineer remained at the fort.

When Company D arrived at the fort, the company commander divided them into three shifts and took turns resting. At the same time, refreshing drinks were also added to the dinner of the military headquarters to cheer up the soldiers who stayed up late. Tonight is crucial.

In addition, the company commander also specially assigned Li De to follow the engineer to learn the fire control operation of the fortress. Li De's appearance yesterday made the company commander feel that this kid must be able to become a good fireman.

This engineer is called Liu Jun, and he is also a yellow-skinned Chinese. He was twenty-five or sixteen years old, and had been in the army for five years. According to the regulations of the federal army, the service period can be completed next year and the life of a normal person can be returned.

Li De learned things quickly, and in less than half an hour, he had already mastered the operation methods of several weapons in the fortress. Includes several automatic machine guns and two rocket launchers, as well as overhead lights. The engineer was idle and chatted with Li De about family life.
