The next day, General Douglas personally came to the front and organized the first wave of attacks. Shortly after sunrise, the human army departed from the barracks and formed a position a few kilometers away from the ground of the Zerg Blanket.

At ten o'clock in the morning, a gunshot broke the silence. Human forces rushed out of their positions like a tidal wave, and at the same time, air forces and long-range strikes were also dispatched.

Dozens of ghost fighters in the air remained above the ground forces to prevent threats from the air, and huge rockets and missiles flew first towards the Zerg positions. The rockets and missiles landed on the edge of the high ground, forming huge fireballs that shook the ground.

In the light of the fire and the smoke, the figures of some insects swayed. The bugs that had been lying in ambush were either blown to pieces or burned to death by the artillery. The indiscriminate attack of tons of rockets turned the flat ground into craters like the surface of the moon, and cracks appeared in the earth.

Rushing to the front was a mechanized battalion, dozens of armored vehicles, armed off-road vehicles and multi-purpose infantry fighting vehicles, all of which had good mobility. Hundreds of chariots kicked up a cloud of sand and dust, like a magnificent yellow avalanche, and marched towards the high ground with great momentum.

Behind the mechanized troops, there are cannon fodder units sitting inside armored transporters. Hundreds of transports were scattered along a front several kilometers long, in the rear about one hundred and fifty meters behind the mechanized troops, transporting the fighters to the front.

Walking in the rear were heavy tank and howitzer vehicles, the absolute workhorses of this offensive force. The five-meter-high heavy main battle tank and the howitzer truck with a barrel more than ten meters long drove quite steadily, and the tracks pressed deep marks on the ground. There are also several humanoid mechs that look like giants, striding forward slowly.

Li De's D Company was arranged to attack in the third wave this time. Listening to the rockets flying overhead, the blood in his heart began to boil.

After a long-range strike, the Zerg's position instantly turned into a sea of fire. The edges of the highlands are littered with burnt marks. The edges of the highlands have been cleared, and countless bugs have been killed. But no one dared to be careless.

With a sharp roar, the Zerg also began to fight back. On the ground of the fungus carpet of the Zerg, a group of pit vipers suddenly emerged, spitting acid at the human troops with their teeth and claws. Some huge Zerg defenses, spitting out green acid.

A large amount of acid rained down on top of the human troops, and the infantrymen's combat uniforms could not resist at all, and even the surface of the armored vehicles rose with white smoke. These acids can travel up to 100 meters in the air, and even heavy machine gun and machine gun bullets will corrode as they pass through them.

At the same time, a large number of small flying insects also flew out of the Zerg base. When these fly into the human legion, they will self-detonate, causing a lot of damage. Dense clusters of small flying insects flew in the air, forming a dark cloud. Looking at the eyes of human beings, it makes people's hearts furious, and it is difficult to even raise the courage to fight.

The mechanized battalion of the first echelon of the human army had approached the Zerg, grenades and armor-piercing shells pouring on the Zerg defenses, and a chain of light composed of bullets formed and a large net, tearing apart the insects in the middle of the net. The tank did not dare to stop for a moment, and the machine gunners and gunners maintained their fire at all times.

Although a large number of Zerg died, more bugs came from the rear. They stepped on their fallen companions in front of them and continued to charge at the mechanized forces of the humans. And the human mechanized battalion also suffered heavy losses under the onslaught of the Zerg.

In the Zerg's defense system, there is something called a "tongue", which can stick its long hard thorns into the ground and then emerge from the ground out of nowhere. Stiff thorns can pierce light vehicle chassis or flip them over. These tongues cause great trouble for human soldiers.

Li De had just gotten out of the armored personnel carrier at this time, and charged forward with the brothers of Company D beside him. Not long after they left, the armored personnel carrier they were riding in was pierced by the tongue and turned into a ball of flames.

There was a curse sound coming from the headset in the infantryman's helmet. When those recruits saw this, many did not dare to move forward. It was as if their legs were no longer their own, they just stood there shaking constantly, and the weapons in their hands were almost unstable.

From time to time, green acid drippeds from their heads and fell on the protective clothing of the infantrymen, emitting a puff of white smoke. Since they were still some way from the front line, all the acid could be sprayed here was a tiny drop or two, which only corroded the suits but not their skin.

The cigar-stipped company commander drove the timid recruits forward like a duck, cursing foul language. He holds an MA5B assault rifle in one hand and a walkie-talkie in the other. This intercom contacts the helmet headsets of all the fighters in the company.

The mechanized battalion and the fighters of the first echelon in the front used their lives to open a hole in the defense of the Zerg. Hundreds of military vehicles turned into fireballs and burned on the positions. The surviving soldiers of the mechanized battalion joined the ranks of the Marines and became infantrymen.

Destroyed chariots were everywhere, and the ground was littered with human and bug corpses, various organs and corpses mixed with bug carapaces, and red, green, and purple liquids mixed together to form sticky blood clots. Stepping through this mess, the soldiers of the third echelon have reached the ground of the fungus carpet.

Stepping on the somewhat soft and slippery fungus blanket, Li De suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart.

After advancing about 100 meters, despite the fire support of self-propelled artillery and howitzers in the rear, and after paying the lives of another group of soldiers, Li De and his D Company rushed to the front.

Li De saw with his own eyes that the swarm of pit vipers was retreating, spitting acid in this direction. Looking at the huge pit viper more than ten meters high, revealing a hideous face, Li De also felt a wave of nausea, and hurriedly greeted the other party with a bullet.

A group of people were shooting at the pit viper, and the pit viper was returning fire with acid. Li De dodged to the left, dodging a cloud of acid. But the person on his right was not so lucky, half of his body was stained with acid, and let out a heart-rending scream.

Immediately, a military doctor came up and injected painkillers into the wounded lying on the ground, and applied ointment to the areas where they had been stained with acid. Then the wounded felt that the original hot pain disappeared, and temporarily stopped the injury. At this time, in the other direction, another person shouted "military doctor", and the military doctor ran up quickly.

Li De shot desperately, and the bullet flew into the pale red armor on the pit viper's chest, like dripping water on a sponge, and there was no effect to be seen. Not even the recoil of these bullets could push the giant pit viper back

Suddenly, a great tremor was felt, and a group of giant mantis emerged from the ground and came into close contact with the soldiers rushing in front.

The human soldiers began to panic. Some of the inexperienced recruits were frightened by the sight and were overwhelmed. Some tried to shoot at the bugs, but feared that they would injure their own people, so they took automatic rifles and aimed back and forth. The bugs, on the other hand, are on a killing spree, wielding their long sharp legs and huge mouthparts at humans.

Li De dodged the attacks of the two bugs and shot diagonally upward. Attacking at close range, the armor-piercing projectile pierced through the hard carapace of the bug. A dozen bullets shattered the mantis's mouthparts and knocked half of his head flying. The huge bug went limp on all fours and collapsed on the ground. Seeing this, other soldiers also began to use this method to prevent harm to their comrades.

Countless white balls of light flew through the sky, flashing with lightning and flying towards the positions of the human armored forces. I saw a large group of huge beetles more than ten meters tall appear behind the Zerg, and those beetles used their tails to face the human camp.

The balls of electricity are coming from their tails. The ball of electricity fell into the formation of the heavy armored unit, and a huge explosion occurred. Several howitzer trucks were blown up on the spot to scrap metal.

A formal human attack also began. More howitzers and rockets than they had started beckoned at the giant beetles. For the first time, the long-range firepower of both sides went head-to-head.

Li De is quite active in the front line. He's already killed five giant mantises. Now that the bullets had run out, he was crouching next to the corpse of his comrade next to him, searching for ammunition on his body.

After finding five magazines, Li De was about to get up when a spike of his tongue came out of the ground. Just at the last moment, Li De suddenly slammed sideways to the right, and the spikes rushed out against his body, scratching his lower abdomen, and blood flowed out.

Lid's body spun in the air, he clutched his rifle and the magazine he picked up. And just as the spike retracted, the long spike swayed from side to side, hitting Li De's back and sending him five meters away.

Li De screamed, landed on the ground, and fell to the ground covered with a fungus blanket. He only felt a huge pain in his lower abdomen, and he could even feel the blood gurgling out. When Li De was about to call the military doctor, he inadvertently ate a mouthful of mushroom blanket.

The fungus blanket is composed of a bacterial organism secreted by the Zerg mother nest, and these bacteria that grow on the body fluids secreted by the mother nest can provide good nutrients for the larval Zerg. At the same time, these bacteria also provide a preferred living environment for other Zerg creatures.

However, this is for bugs, for the human digestive system, these bacteria are absolutely deadly viruses.

NND, Li De scolded in his heart, why was he so careless. Swallowing the fungus blanket, Li De also felt as if his stomach was burning, and a burning sensation came out of his stomach. He clenched tightly, the muscles of his face contorted like cramps, and tears flowed down his face.
