Chapter 267: The Flames of War

"Report to the Commander! The fifth defense circle was breached!! The commanding adjutant's voice rang in Jim Reno's ears quickly.

You don't have to listen to the voice of the intelligent lieutenant, Jim Renaud can also see the terrifying scene below at the moment.

After the first wave of the boundless insect tide attacked and made contact with the bunker, the insect tide did not stop at all, and completely ignored the bunker and rushed directly inside!

These bugs actually wanted to use the tactics of knightly charge, and wanted to directly break through the bunker defense circle arranged by Jim Reynolds in one go!

Although the 280 machine gunners in the 70 pillboxes of the Fifth Defense Ring had been injected with doping and were firing with all their might, they were clearly not as fast as the insects could swoop forward.

Therefore, the insect swarm is really like a tide, after rushing to the bunker defense array, although it is stirred up by countless waves, it still continues to "flow" forward.

"All machine gunners in the Fourth Defense Ring are injected with doping!" Jim stood on a high spot, with a clear view of the battle below, and ordered accurately.

"The 1st Mobile Battalion is heading to Area 69 to meet the enemy!"

"573 Goliath armed mechs are in the third defense ring, covering and intercepting the fourth defense circle!"

"We're going to put the first line of interception in the fourth defensive circle! Stop their rush to the front! ”

As Jim Renault gave orders one after another.

All the machine gunners of the 4th Defense Circle were injected with doping at the same time, and everyone's flesh and blood were boiling.

The 573 Goliath armed mechs are also located on the No. 2 high ground in the middle of the fourth and third defense circles, and all of them have switched to the ground-to-ground mode of automatic machine guns.

The terrain of the entire backwater station base is very complex. Easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The base of the Dead Water Station is built against a high mountain, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the only access to the outside world is a narrow canyon.

And there is a piece of high ground leading to the canyon at the base. That is, the No. 1 high ground where Jim Reynaud stood. Relying on the steep cliffs of Heights 1 connecting the canyon for tens of meters, Jim Reynolds built a large number of fortifications and a strong steel wall here.

The entire 10-kilometer-long canyon is also divided into several small highlands in a stepped manner, and Jim Renaud uses these highlands to delineate different defensive circles, so the whole terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The fourth defensive ring is precisely placed by Jim Renault at the mouth of the canyon, which is like a concave gourd mouth, and the fourth defensive ring is located 1,000 meters inside the recess.

When the insect tide passes through the Fifth Defensive Circle, the number of swarms that can enter the mouth of the canyon at the same time is not too large. At this point, only a small swarm in the middle can rush into the mouth of the canyon, which is only 1,000 meters wide.

Most of the other insects can only rush into the mouth of the canyon by stepping on the heads of other insects in the form of superposition. It's like a snowball, but the speed of this sprint is undoubtedly greatly reduced.

It is true that if it is in the endless wasteland, these insect tides can instantly submerge the qiē that is blocked, but if humans can make good use of the advantages of the terrain to defend. It may not be impossible to fight with the insect tide! Not to mention the original StarCraft game. Of the three races, Humans, Star Spirits, and Zergs, Terrans are the best at defending.

With the exception of the crowded swarm that poured into the mouth of the canyon, most of the other bugs had to climb up the mountains along both sides of the canyon, trying to rush into the base of the backwater station from above.

However, Jim Renault had already arranged a large number of machine gunners and pillboxes on the mountain for coordinated defense, and combined with the advantage of high terrain, the battle situation began to show a scorching state!

"Fire!"

When the insect tide that poured into the mouth of the canyon entered the 500-meter range of the bunker, Jim Renault gave a decisive order, and in an instant, the fourth defense ring was densely arranged in the 50 bunkers in the canyon. Heavy artillery fire!

The 50 bunkers are densely packed in a small depth range of 3,000 meters wide and 1,000 meters deep. With such a dense bunker array, the circle of fire that burst out in an instant was undoubtedly terrifying!

Under the first round of bombardment, more than 6,000 skinning dogs that had just rushed into the mouth of the canyon were instantly completely pierced by almost densely covered depleted uranium armor-piercing shells!

However, a large number of insect tides desperately surging forward in the rear completely flooded the newly cleared open space in an instant.

But the fierce firepower of the bunker instantly emptied the tide of insects that rushed forward again!

At this time, the scene on the battlefield, the insect tide is like a rapidly rushing river, after pouring into the mouth of the canyon, it is resisted by the fire net shot by the bunker group!

Everyone is pouring out the firepower in their hands without stopping, and they dare not relax at all! Almost everyone burst out with much stronger combat power than usual!

The surging insect tide was temporarily held on the interception line 500 meters away from the fourth defense ring! The swarm of insects in the rear kept pouring forward, and the insects in front were completely bombarded as soon as they rushed out!

The corpses around were piled up more and more, and after a few seconds had passed, there were already piles of insect corpses several meters high in the same place!

The insect tide pouring in from the rear stepped on the corpses of countless insects, constantly climbing upward, using the cover of the dead insect corpses, and slowly moving forward!

At this time, Jim Renault, who was standing on the high ground, could see below, a wave of black pressure and insects surging like waves.

Numerous skinning dogs leaped high at the same time, trying to continue their advance, but were immediately repelled by the dense network of fire from the bunkers.

These jumping skinning dogs are like a wave of insects, and as soon as they rise, they are knocked out by the firepower of the defense. However, these defeated insect corpses stirred up more waves and became a cover for other insects.

The whole black and oppressive insect tide is looking down from above, like a barrage pillar, slowly moving forward!

The scene is extremely cruel! Bloody! Tragic!

400 meters!

300 meters!

200 meters!

When the insect tide finally advanced to 100 meters, without anyone noticing, hundreds of giant spiders, under the cover of the skinning dogs, quietly dived into the ground 100 meters away from the bunker!

However, Jim Reynolds, who was standing on high ground, used the ultra-distant imaging system that came with the CMC commander's special combat armor to keenly observe the swarm. Under the surge of insects, a strange dust suddenly splashed.

Jim Reynolds immediately thought that this might be a subtle feature of the arachnid insects lurking in the previous 17 waves. Jim Renaud has dealt with them many times.

So at this time, as soon as he found out about this abnormal movement, he immediately ordered decisively.

"Fourth Ring of Defense, Pillboxes 243 to 250, get out now! Defend in place! ”

As soon as Jim Renault gave the order, 32 machine gunners in the first row of 8 pillboxes at the front of the fourth defense ring decisively withdrew from the pillboxes.

As soon as they stepped out of the bunker on their front feet, countless spikes immediately poked out of the bunker on their back feet!

Underneath the corpses of countless flesh and blood flying from the front interception line. Suddenly, hundreds of spikes burst out of the ground!

Hundreds of long spikes stabbed out of the ground one after the other! Swept away like a wave towards the bunkers ahead!

In the end, the 8 pillboxes in the first row of the Fourth Defense Circle were pierced by these hundreds of sharp bone spurs piercing from the ground at the same time!

These bone spurs are extremely sharp, and they are several times more powerful than the bone spurs shot by the stinging snake.

What's more, it was attacked from the underground. Originally, although the foundation of the bunker was also cast from sturdy high-strength molten metal, it was a little inferior to the incomparably thick titanium armor on the surface!

In just this round of salvo shots of spider monsters, the 8 pillboxes in the front row were completely stabbed into a sieve by hundreds of spikes! If those 32 machine gunners hadn't withdrawn, they would have been stabbed into countless hornet's nests in an instant.

However, after the withdrawal of these 32 machine gunners. And did not leave. Instead, according to Jim Renault's order, continue to defend in place, directly facing the insect tide 100 meters in front, and continue to shoot!

However, after losing the protection of the bunker, these 32 machine gunners were completely exposed to the insect tide army, and they were only less than 100 meters away from the insect tide at this time!

Bone spurs flew everywhere in the air, and the stinging snakes in the insect tide continued to bombard the bone gabnet from beginning to end. Constant fire coverage of the bunker complex. Bone spurs kept bombarding the hard titanium shell of the bunker, and at this time the shell of the first row of bunkers was on it. It is already densely covered with countless bone spurs, and at first glance it looks like a hedgehog!

As soon as the 32 machine gunners withdrew from the pillbox, two machine gunners were instantly pierced by more than a dozen bone spikes!

"Andy!" A machine gunner, with red eyes, yelled as he watched his companion get pierced by a bone spur.

However, just after he was distracted, seven or eight bone spurs penetrated his fire interception and stabbed fiercely into the metal of his combat armor!

Under the bombardment of super speed, the extremely sharp bone spurs instantly penetrated the metal shell of the CMC-300 combat armor, directly pierced into his flesh and blood, and came out of his body! Countless blood splatters!

"I ...... Even if you die! It won't make you feel better! The machine gunner shook his body, and as he was dying, he rushed forward!

He increased the power of the power armor to the maximum, and the whole person held on to his last breath, running tirelessly numbly!

Because of his rush, the attention of the stinging snakes was focused on him, and the bone spur firepower attacking the others was much smaller! With his instincts, he actually bought precious time for the survival of his companions!

In the end, he ran more than ten meters ahead! Hundreds of spikes are stuck all over the body! Almost the whole person has not been left with an inch intact!

He finally slowly straightened up and fell!

"Wife...... I'm coming......"

Jim Reynolds was on high ground, watching this tragic scene unfold right under his nose.

He forced his moist eyes, his tone did not tremble or hesitate in the slightest, and after accurately calculating the attack interval of this group of spider monsters, he immediately ordered.

"28 machine gunners, continue to settle in the bunker immediately! Withdraw on time after two seconds! ”
