Chapter 19: Duke is trapped
"Hey, hey! Old Edmund is in big trouble now, and the open area and the lack of an air force are really bad news, which is enough for him to drink a pot. Frank said with his hands folded, staring at the screen and smiling.
Kellygen looked at him puzzled, "Listening to your tone, it seems that he will survive?" I don't think they'll survive, even if they can fend off the bugs for a while, but the bugs can wear them down with wheel warfare. ”
Frank shrugged slightly, "The battlefield is changing, and anything can happen. Of course, he wouldn't tell her that he knew Duke would never die so easily.
Adjutant: "Commander, do you accept a request for communications from the garrisons of the 'New Vancouver' metropolitan area?" ”
"Get on!" Frank immediately turned off the video of Duke falling in the "Arran Basin", and he still took this matter very seriously, after all, it was 50 million innocent people, and they must not be infected by bugs.
"How's it going? Checkmate! Frank was the first to speak, and there was a slight urgency in his words, as well as respect for the other party.
When the major general heard this, he saw Frank's sincere appearance, and his heart was slightly moved, it seems that they really care about and value the people here! He couldn't help but sigh slightly, feeling helpless in his heart, he also had his own beliefs and loyalty, he would actually rather die in battle than cooperate with him, this is his loyalty as a soldier, and the two sides are destined to be opposites. And now, he is very entangled, on the one hand, 50 million innocent people, on the other hand, his own faith, how to choose is very distressing to him.
This major general actually wants to protect both sides, but the truth is very painful, and he can only choose one and abandon the other.
"Alas!" The major general sighed helplessly, "How many troops are you going to send here?" One sentence has already made his position clear, and in the end he still chooses to save these people, as well as himself.
Frank was overjoyed and immediately responded to him: "I will send 10,000 biochemical troops and our new equipment into the metropolis, and at the same time, I will also send a capital ship to provide air support over the city." xiexie you, general! I thank you first of all for your choice that saved 50 million people. Frank Zuihou said sincerely.
"Hehe......" Major General shook his head helplessly, he didn't expect that he would ally with the enemy in this life, just a few hours ago, a nuclear bomb on the other side blew up nearly half of his troops, and the Major General wanted to swallow his heart alive. Helplessly, he still has to fight in the alliance now, and he thinks this shijie is really crazy and funny.
"With a battle cruiser to support us, it will be easy to defend!" The major general replied.
"Our troops will be back in an hour!" Frank laughed, this matter has finally settled, as for the agricultural growers scattered all over the planet and some small cities, all he can do is to inform them to move closer to the two major cities in the north and south, except for these two places, any part of the entire planet will become very dangerous.
……
The Arran Basin is now approaching the twilight of the planet, but this basin is still on fire, like daylight, although the battle cruisers have not burned the entire ship, but because of their huge size, even a quarter of the place is enough to burn frighteningly.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the fire will not spread, after all, the surface of the battle cruiser is all heavy steel armor, and the fire cannot burn.
This forced landing killed a lot of people, especially the SCV space engineering vehicle, these engineers were still in the hull when the middle of the hull broke, they were still in its stable hull, but they still couldn't stop the hull from breaking, they were almost dead here, and there were really not many SCVs that could escape from there.
Many people died in other parts of the ship, but the ship still managed to make an emergency landing, and a large number of people still survived. After the hull landed on the ground, the personnel inside the battle cruiser left in a hurry, Duke and his regiment managed to survive, but the current General Duke can be described as a mess, I don't know if his face is blackened by smoke, in short, half of his face is extremely black, and there is no longer the dignity and majesty that a general should have.
After leaving the cruiser, he couldn't help but look back at the flagship, which was wrapped in flames, and said that it was absolutely false that he didn't feel heartache, and more importantly, it made him feel very ashamed, and the sinking of the flagship was not a small blow to the always proud Edmund Duke.
"Mengsk, this crumb!" Duke immediately thought of the ugly face he wanted to tear apart the most, that scumbag, everything was caused by him.
But at this moment, bad things came uninvited, they were actually surrounded by bugs, these bugs were not many in number, but for the remnants of Duke's troops now, these bugs were too many to kill them.
"General! Oh no, we've detected a large number of Zerg creatures approaching us, General! We're surrounded by bugs! A man with instruments and equipment in his hand rushed to Duke and told him about the incident as soon as possible, and the fear revealed in his words was extremely obvious.
"Bugs again?" Duke's face is now worse than dead, "How many?" He hurriedly asked.
"It's all over the place! Checkmate! We can't break through! The staff member responded.
"No ......" Duke's mind suddenly went blank, and he almost fainted, the blows in the past few days have injured him a lot, and now there are internal injuries and external injuries, and the most important thing is the tangled internal injuries.
Duke was a good general in the end, he quickly came to his senses, and actively deployed defenses, "Listen, my surviving soldiers, we are not out of danger, now the bugs are approaching us, all the personnel cheer me up, we must defend desperately until the reinforcements arrive ......"
Duke: "All the personnel obey my orders, move closer to the capital ship, and the SCV immediately set up temporary defensive bunkers on the right and left flanks and on the front, build as many as they can, defend the flanks to me, and all the soldiers are ready to fight." Mechanized troops were quickly erected on both flanks and fronts, ready to serve those damn bugs......"
The order was given, and the remaining more than a hundred SCVs began to urgently mobilize, and platoons of marines armed with C-14 electromagnetic rifles were near the SCVs, ready to fight at any moment. And the next point is the heavy fire engineering tanks arranged in two lines, and the three-way tank unit has entered siege mode, ensuring that those bugs can make them get rid of a layer of skin after 30 kilometers close to the basin, and the bugs close to them, the electromagnetic rifles of the marines are not covered.
However, Duke's defenders still have a fatal weakness, that is, they lack an air force and are in an open area, which makes it easy to outflank the insects on the ground and the dragons in the sky can deal a fatal blow to them. These Achilles' heels General Duke is obviously very clear, but it is useless to know, the terrain is a natural factor, and the Air Force does not have it at all now.
Duke was now in a makeshift command on the front line, and he quickly began to communicate with the main fleet of Alpha in outer space: "I'm Duke! Can the 1st Squadron get it? ”
"General? Great, General, we all thought ......" The other party was stunned at first when he heard Duke's voice, and then became ecstatic, and they all saw the fall of "Nord II" with their own eyes, and they all thought that Duke was dead.
Duke quickly interrupted him and said, "Listen, Colonel! Our situation is urgent now, we are under siege by bugs on the ground, we have no air force, we must be provided with air support. ”
"Providing air support is difficult, our fleet is engaged in a fierce battle with the Zerg, the Zerg's air force is huge, but we will send an air force to support you at all costs. Checkmate! The other party said.
Duke finally ended the communication, the unscrupulous crossing of the allosaurus in the sky really made him very unhappy, and the defense and control turret was not so quickly built, now to deal with the allosaurus Liliang is a few groups of marines aimed at the sky to shoot, although the bullets of the electromagnetic rifle can pose a threat to the allosaurus, but the hit rate is really a bit low, they can't use all the marines against the air force, the ground defense is much more important than the air defense.
The Arran Basin is relatively open, which is very disadvantageous for Duke's troops, and now, the bugs have rushed into the 30-kilometer range, this is an army of Zerg composed of jumping worms and stinging snakes. All siege tanks have long since entered siege mode, and the effective range has been suddenly increased from 18 kilometers in the regular mode to 30 kilometers, and the three-way tanks have ruthlessly fired their most ferocious firepower - piercing shock guns. It didn't take long for the Zerg troops more than 20 kilometers away to start to show patches of casualties, one shot could kill a vote of insects, and the piercing shock cannon seemed to bloom everywhere 20 kilometers away, and the insects began to lose a large number of them.
But the bugs still rushed forward without fear, and the number of bugs was very large, even if they were killed by the tank troops, there were still countless bugs that were constantly coming.
Soon, a part of the bugs had already poured into the range of the Marines.
"Everyone, fire freely, give me a beating!" The front-line commander of the marines shouted in the public frequency band, the countless hideous muzzles of the temporary bunker had been aimed at the incoming enemy, under the commander's order, all the soldiers pressed the trigger and did not let go, their feet were instantly covered with hot golden bullet shells, and the incoming bugs were instantly plugged, some of them were blurred and fragmented, but they still fearlessly rushed forward, as if they were a group of terrible death squads, and the number of dead bugs rose a terrible number in an instant, Despite their huge losses, their troop base is terrifying, and in fact, their losses are not without effect, and the bugs are clearly slowly approaching them.
Duke was also anxious as he watched the movement of the battlefield, and the air force he had been waiting for for a long time did not even see a shadow.
Just then, a message came from the sky.
"General! The air force we sent has been intercepted by the enemy, and we are about to send even larger air forces, but at the moment they are engaged with the Zerg air force, and they are blocking our way..."
Duke's complexion changed dramatically, ugly as a dead man's face, no, worse than a dead man's face.
"The Air Force was intercepted? That is to say that it will not come for a long time? ”
