Chapter 628: The Meaning of Madness in Battle (2)
And after the Master Chief completed the first arrest attempt, Sister Xue quickly began her own operation. Since the results of the trial by the non-commissioned officer show that the combat ability of the mad warrior in the battle is lower than expected, Sister Xue also let go of the last trace of worry in her heart after receiving the battle report, and soon led the team to start the arrest operation.
But as soon as the battle began, things were out of their control. According to the results of the earlier investigation, Sister Xue formulated a combat plan to fight the crazy people in battle and try to rescue the slaves. From a common sense point of view, this plan is extremely feasible, after all, they have never seen a slave who does not want to be free.
However, the implementation of this plan encountered unexpected resistance, first of all, the mad samurai guarding the place were more advanced, and their combat effectiveness was significantly stronger than the ones who guarded the lines of communication encountered by the Master Chief at the outpost.
Secondly, after the battle began, the mad warriors who were in charge of guarding the slaves did something that surprised them, they actually opened the arsenal and handed out the weapons to the slaves who were still being enslaved by them!
What's even more unexpected is that these alien slaves belonging to several different races actually took up arms and fought for the battle madman who was enslaving him a minute ago! Although their combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of the mad samurai, they are large in number and have plenty of firepower.
Led by the madman samurai, these guys quickly drove out the expedition commando that had just entered with an entire squadron. If it hadn't been decisive enough to retreat, the squadron might have even been wiped out.
At this point, it is necessary to talk about the peculiar social system of the war madman, as a pure combat race that relied on foreign slaves to produce all kinds of necessities, the war madman did not rely only on his own force to suppress the slaves' rebellion.
Any slave owner will know that there is no slave in this world who does not desire freedom. Suppressing the slaves' resistance by force alone was not a long-term solution. Because even if you know that it is a moth to the fire, there will be slaves who will continue to rebel against their fate.
As a slave empire with tens of thousands of years of history. The madmen of war have long developed a unique form of government to help them maintain their dominance. In order to maintain stability and strengthen the army, they gave the slaves some upward paths.
For example, in the event of a surprise attack, an alien slave can be freed from the status of a slave as long as he engages in a battle under the orders of his master and kills an enemy. Become a "free man" and have the option to join the army.
Those who kill a large number of enemies will also be accepted into the war mad society, and will receive the same social treatment as purebred war madmen, and even become a nobleman. Such a system is ensured by the government departments, and it has long been a part of the social culture of the war-mad because of its good effect in many internal and external wars.
With the cooperation of other policies and punitive measures, although the proportion of slaves in the society of the war-mad people is increasing, the resistance of the slaves is very weak, and many slaves who hope to turn over only want to encounter a chance to "make meritorious service" to change their fate.
That's why the expedition just went in and was attacked by them, in the eyes of those slaves. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for oneself to gain freedom. As for the madmen who rebelled against the war, most of them did not dare to think about it.
Back in the battle, although there were some casualties after the commandos were driven out of the factory area, they were a highly specialized team after all. After systematically breaking away from the narrow indoor space of the factory area, they immediately set up a blocking position on the flat ground outside.
Taking advantage of the local superiority in firepower, they managed to block the enemy forces dozens of times their number at the exit. At about the same time, Sister Xue, who had led the team to attack from another direction, also rushed back to save the scene.
The current situation was very embarrassing for her, the commander, because the way the battle was fought like this had a lot to do with her unfavorable planning. The squadron that was beaten out had already suffered one-sixth casualties. Arguably the highest percentage of casualties ever suffered by an expedition in a ground battle.
Although these casualties can be compensated very lightly, after all, according to the report of the squadron commander. No one is "dead", as long as they return to the fleet, the automatic medical station can quickly treat all the wounded. The question now is how to end this chaotic situation.
Fortunately, although the combat attitude of the madmen is very crazy, their tactical level is not very high, and their firepower is limited. After combining the fire of the entire brigade to attack from one direction. The battle line against the madmen was quickly crushed.
The ability team led by Sister Xue stands out here, because although the battle madman is extremely strong, he does not have any abilities such as biological abilities. A simple ability Push Pull or Shockwave can take down a large area of Maniac in battle.
For the battle madmen encountered along the way, Sister Xue ordered the ability team to capture them alive as much as possible, and the other teams were only responsible for shooting the enemy. Soon. The slaves organized by the battle madmen couldn't stand the pressure and collapsed, and the few remaining battle mad warriors didn't last long before they were wiped out en masse.
Although far fewer prisoners were captured than expected, the battle ended in a way that was acceptable to the expedition. At the end of the battle, they left a small-yield antimatter bomb on the site to destroy the plant, and then all of them left by boat to rest the team early.
Expeditions rarely encountered combat attrition, and in the battle that had just been completed, the expedition was victorious, but the cost was somewhat outweighed. Not only did the final casualty figure exceed 10 percent, but many of the wounded took days to fully recover.
In such a situation, she chose to take a break from the team. The Master Chief, on the other hand, did not encounter such a problem, he hit small targets, and even fought several outposts without any casualties. Whether it is the number of people or the firepower, make sure that your opponent is more than 5 times the opponent, and he will launch an attack.
Although Sister Xue's attack was soon known to the war-like madmen in other settlements on the planet, vigilance was tightened everywhere. But under the careful planning of the Master Chief, they remained active for several more hours, and did not leave with the spoils until the fleet of the madmen returned from battle.
In terms of the quantity and quality of the prisoners captured, the gain of the non-commissioned officer chief was less than that of the brigade led by Sister Xue, but when they came back, the morale was even higher.
And in the prison of the Star Destroyer One, the prisoners of war were already overcrowded. The captured prisoners of war were all war madmen, and in order to prevent them from attempting suicide further, each prisoner of war was put on an irremovable hood and bracelet, and stripped of his clothes and armor.
Most of the POWs were unconscious when they were captured, but when they woke up and realized that they had been taken prisoner by an unknown force, most of them had a surprisingly unanimous choice, which was to commit suicide by all means. If it weren't for the expedition's preparations, the captives would definitely have died again.
Luke, who had experienced the battle on the front line, was preoccupied at this time. He had been well protected during the battle a few hours earlier, and his lighted lightsaber had never had a chance to slash at any enemies.
The only high-ranking warrior who was close to his attack range was waved by Sister Xue, who was guarding in front of him, and used the dark energy field to crumple into a ball of broken flesh and blood.
The expedition was the most elite ground force Luke had ever seen, and Sister Xue was also the most powerful "Alien Person" he had ever seen. But even the casualties that these men would suffer when attacking a base of equal numbers of Encountering Maniacs was a wake-up call.
Bringing in the combat power of the military organizations in the galaxy that he is familiar with, if he wants to deal with the same number of battle madmen, whether it is the rebel camp or the imperial army, it may take more than 10 times the strength to have the possibility of winning in a similar battle.
And judging from what he saw with his own eyes, there was no shortage of human resources for the madmen in battle, and according to the preliminary estimates of the expedition, there were at least hundreds of millions of madmen in battle on the barren planet as soon as they set foot on the barren planet.
The mere fact that these known battle madmen have begun to invade the galaxy is likely to cause a great chaos, at least much more than the rebels, not to mention what will happen to the arrival of the follow-up troops!
While Luke worries about the future of the galaxy, the expedition's biologists have begun to unravel their enemies. Not all of the battle madmen they brought back were alive, and in order to get the most out of the enemy's characteristics and maximize the value of their captives, they also brought back the corpses of many battle madmen.
During the dissections, the anatomy room was guarded by heavily armed expedition members to make sure that the bodies on the operating table were not playing dead. Considering the extremely strong vitality of the madman in battle, this is not a groundless conjecture.
They had a lot of guesses about the physiology of the madmen who had been killed in battle, so after getting the samples for the study, they began to understand the planing as soon as they came. All the dissected organ samples were quickly sent to the rear room to be tested one by one.
Scholars have long had their own theoretical research directions, and after obtaining the samples, they quickly began their own validation process. A few hours later, the first study report was sent to Sister Xue and them, and as soon as she saw the conclusions given in the report, Sister Xue had a disagreement with the Master Chief.
The Master Chief was still looking for a safe course of action, but Sister Xue was impressed by the evidence given by the study, and thought that they needed to be bolder in their search for a higher enemy. It turned out that this report confirmed their main conjecture about the madmen in battle, and it turned out that this race really has relatively mature bioaugmentation technology, and can change the biological characteristics of its own people quite freely.
