Chapter 20: The Battle of the Guards
The Air Force was intercepted? It's such a nightmare, how can you fight the Zerg without air support?
"Nope! No! No! There's definitely a way! Stabilization! Calm down! Duke held back, his expression calm, his commanders saw that their commander was still so calm after learning the bad news, it was obvious that there was a way to deal with it, these people thought to themselves.
In fact, Duke's heart was already in chaos, but he tried his best to hide it, he knew that as the supreme commander, he could not have such a situation, and once there was a possibility that the whole war would collapse.
How can this situation be broken, Duke pondered and meditated.
……
On the other side, more than 10,000 Ranger troops have arrived in the "New Vancouver" metropolis, and a group of 3,000 units of intelligent giant robots have also been transported from the "Arcadia" Peninsula to the metropolis, these new equipment are only 3,000 combat units, but their firepower output can even be worth 20,000 marines, more importantly, these mechanical dogs are scattered and deployed to various locations in the metropolis, and its main task is to undertake the main air defense liliang inside the city, It is impossible for a battle cruiser to bombard the city, and if some Xenosaurus breaks through the range of the battle cruiser's firepower and rushes into the metropolis, at this time, the mechanical dog can exert its powerful anti-air power, and the K-14 Punisher surface-to-air missile it is equipped with is the best gift for these dragons who rush into the city. It can also be used as a combat support unit to be mobilized to some defensive lines that need emergency support, and the ground fire output of the mechanical dog is still terrifying.
With the deployment of the mechanical dog to the entire urban battlefield, or the ground or the city dome, more than 10,000 people of the Renault Rangers are also responsible for guarding several key roads, and five minutes later, a capital ship under the command of Frank in outer space made a short jump over the metropolis, although such a jump is not cost-effective, but it has to be done, and the fighter cannot be delayed.
The super-beast was like a booster, and his presence reassured the defenders here.
"Frank, 'New Vancouver' and the northern continent are already at war with the Zerg." Renault was on the battle cruiser "Pagliu", and everything on the planet was in his eyes.
"We're pretty much there here, the bugs are already on their way!" Frank called up a screen, which was an instant image from a satellite in outer space that had not yet been destroyed by bugs, and a large number of Zerg began to flock to the peninsula area, and the sky could already see the shadow of the alien dragon flapping its wings.
"A vicious guard battle is about to begin, all personnel are ready to fight!" Frank sent a message to the entire line.
"I'll leave the flying worms in the sky to you, Jim!" Frank said.
"Huh! Just leave it to me! If you need air support, please feel free to 'call the fleet'. Renault laughed.
"Roger!" Frank ends his communications, then grabs a brand new shotgun, and he quickly walks out of the makeshift headquarters and into the front line.
Frank looked up, in addition to a giant monster parked on it in the sky, he also saw the shadows of countless flying insects, the first round of firefighting was obviously an air battle, and Jim Renault was in charge of the air battlefield, and Frank was still very relieved about Renault's command ability.
He looked around again, and in a hidden corner, he spotted Kellygan lurking, the weapon in his hand aimed at the sky. They can use their rifles to hit Xosaurus flying at high speed in the sky, and the hit rate is almost 100%, and only people like them can do it.
Frank retracted his gaze, the bullet was loaded, although he should not appear on the front line as the supreme commander of the field, but his firepower output is quite impressive, and the quality of the enemies killed by people like them is also higher than that of others, it is a pity not to be on the front line, not to mention, Frank's subconscious also likes to fight on the battlefield.
War is on the verge of breaking out, and it's still the old way to deal with these bugs, first let them taste the taste of piercing shock guns, and then countless K-2 shock bombs are buried on the ground, and now they are waiting for them to step on them.
The first round of firepower output on the ground battlefield is the siege tank, which can eliminate a large part of the insects 20 kilometers away, and the number of insects is too much, and the battlefield ground seems to be flooded with the corpses of the Zerg in an instant, and the scarlet blood instantly stains the land.
The frantically pounced bugs were soon attacked in a second round, and when the main force of the bugs rushed to the battlefield where the K-2 shock bombs were buried, the soldiers involved were ordered by the commander to carry out an artificial detonation.
The battlefield was enveloped by artillery in an instant, and the sound of explosions shook the earth, and such a dense explosion was fed back to the soldiers on the front line from the ground to feel that the earth was about to earthquake, of course, the marines near the siege tanks felt that the earth trembled since the start of the battle, and they were used to it.
By the time the explosion had disappeared and the smoke had cleared, all the bugs on the battlefield had died, and the Marines had not fired a single bullet.
The corpses of the bugs burned on the battlefield, and the dark smoke spread through the battlefield airspace, which was a feast of death.
The bugs are dead, they are dead. But these soldiers did not relax a little, the most hated siege tanks around them and often cooperate with each other to fight have been carrying out long-range firepower output, from a distance, a new round of insects has begun to surge, this is a combination of stinging snakes and jumping insects of the Zerg troops, the quality is not low, especially the stinging snake, by the body 4000 muscles force, it sprays out the ridge needle is not much weaker than the arrogance of the guns in the hands of the marines, and these squirted ridge needles are also corrosive, Although it can't be compared with mosquitoes, the human body is still as painful as being splashed with sulfuric acid.
Before, it was just an appetizer.
The best is always to come.
The last thing that bugs are afraid of is battle damage, and what bugs like most is to fight with the enemy. Kill a Marine with ten bugs and they all earn, so the battle is just beginning, it is just a prelude, and the feast of death officially begins.
……
Arran Basin.
It's not so easy here for Duke, nearly two hours have passed since the war was fought, and the air support force has still not arrived, and no other support troops have arrived, and Duke is almost at the critical point of breaking out if he continues to suppress himself.
The only troops that defend are biochemical troops and mechanized troops, and even the air supremacy is occupied by insects, and the alien dragons in the sky are in pain, if it weren't for the temporary bunker as a cover, I'm afraid their battle line would have collapsed long ago, although several of the built anti-aircraft batteries have been put into the battlefield, but the price is that I don't know how many SCV engineers have been killed by those flying insects, and it is becoming more and more difficult to build more defense and control turrets.
"SCV! Our bunker is broken, come and fix it!" On the front line, a makeshift bunker on the right flank was corroded by the symbiote of the alien dragon, and it collapsed in an instant, and some marines crawled out of it in embarrassment.
At this moment, a high-speed swooping allosaurus aimed at the ground and shot a symbiote directly into the back of the binge-drinking soldier, the next second, the soldier's armor was corroded, and the flesh and blood on the back came with a suffocating burning sensation, the soldier's face was trembling, his face was already red like a flame, the temperature of his whole body was soaring in a straight line, Zuihou's susceptibility, he took off the pistol with difficulty and ended his life...
Some of the soldiers who are still alive are full of fear, they hold weapons and keep strafing, every bullet they shoot out is the only sense of security for them, some people have even begun to roar to suppress the fear in their hearts, hold down the trigger and never let go, they want to use the weapon in their hands to sweep away all the fear in front of them, but the fear is swept away and comes back, and then sweeps away...
A couple of SCVs have finally arrived here, the engineers have lost too much, they are needed almost everywhere on the battlefield, the defensive bunkers here have not been repaired, and another place has started to call again, and fatally, they have too few battlefield reserves.
"General! We can't hold it anymore, what should we do? Checkmate? When will the reinforcements arrive? "A front-line commander came to the temporary headquarters, still panting and his body rising and falling as he spoke.
"Damn it!" Duke finally couldn't hold back his anger and slammed the punch on the console.
"General! The right flank line was about to run out of ammunition ...", another front-line commander came to the temporary headquarters.
"Order the troops to defend their positions to the death, our reinforcements are about to arrive!" Duke calmed his anger and said.
The two front-line commanders went out helplessly, the general had already said this sentence three times, this is the fourth time, if it goes on like this, the morale of the army will collapse, and when the time comes......
They weren't thinking about it.
Duke didn't know that he was trying to find a solution now, but he still couldn't think of a solution.
……
"Arcadia" Peninsula.
The defense here is very strong, and no one has calculated how many rounds of attacks the bugs have launched, but the bugs still haven't broken through the first line of defense, and every attack has been successfully fended off by the rangers, and the air threat has not done much damage to the ground under the blows of a capital ship and mechanical dogs.
The war continues to this day, and the ground forces have not made a single call to the fleet.
The so-called "Call Fleet" is to use the laser cannon crews on the battlecruiser to carry out indiscriminate laser cannon bombardment on the ground, just like the indiscriminate laser cannon bombardment of the ground by the battlecruiser when Maite Horner jumped to the "backwater base" in the last "Battle of Mar Sala".
However, the cost of "calling the fleet" is not cheap, and the war is burning money, look at the SCV engineers of the logistics department now throwing those shiny silicon crystal ore into the refinery like throwing dirt, and they have not stopped at all, and the gas gas spring is also constantly operating, and batches of high-energy gas that have just been refined have been quickly put into use, and even some reserve resources have been transferred out. The insects on the battlefield are constantly consuming war damage, and humans are also constantly consuming resources, which is also war damage.
These are all money, even if they are burned with fire, they are not so fast, and resources with high strategic value such as silicon crystal ore cannot even be bought with money, they are all scarce resources, and they are used a little less.
The "Call Fleet" is the strongest fire support on the ground, but the cost is also terrifying, and it will not be used until the critical moment.
This guard battle still doesn't seem to have too much pressure, but the resource consumption is too terrible, after all, the main force of the insects is fighting in the outer space of the planet and the main fleet of humans, and the insects that come to the main star of Antiga are only a small part of the Antiga galaxy, the real battlefield of the Zerg is still in the fifth Shijie and the Protoss are fighting, Antiga's side is a small fight compared to the fifth Shijie battlefield, but humans still need to be cautious and dare not take it lightly.
Adjutant: "Commander! We intercepted a distress signal from the 'Arran Basin'! ”
