"Commander, the 01st, 06th, and 09th gun crews are fully charged and ready to fire! Please instruct! ”

In the bridge command center, the team member in charge of the fire control system reported loudly to Hao Yi on the command platform without looking back.

"Good! Order each artillery group to turn on the concentrated fire attack mode and carry out a 3-minute fire attack on the designated target area! Haoyi's big hand drew a large circle on the three-dimensional holographic map on the command platform and transmitted the coordinate data of the target area to the members of the fire control system.

On the holographic map, the markers that represent the army of insects like a sea of blood red have encircled the city of Tico. On the outskirts of Tico City, patches of gray markers representing melee combat units were being swallowed up by a sea of blood-red hues. The area demarcated by Haoyi was the location of the head of the blood-red ocean, less than a kilometer from the junction of red and white. In other words, the firepower of several gun crews of the battleship will cover all the front-line positions that are being fought in a powerful fire pattern of concentrated fire.

For a battleship located at a high altitude, the range of fire deviation of one kilometer is too small, and if you are not careful, dense firepower will fall on the heads of your own ground forces. However, at present, the city of Tico is already in danger, and the 10th Army Group, which has suffered heavy casualties, is about to be unable to hold the outer positions of the city. Such a seemingly ferocious and ruthless fire attack may relieve the huge pressure on the defenders to a certain extent.

"Uncle, is this firepower attack range a little too dangerous......" Shen Hu on the side glanced at the target area drawn by Haoyi on the holographic radar, and asked in a low voice with some concern. However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Hao Yi, who was blushing with a blue face, with a wave of his big hand.

"There is nothing dangerous that is not dangerous! Fighting is all about destroying the enemy's life as much as possible! If I happen to be on the front-line position, I will not hesitate to call in my own heavy firepower and implement close-range fire coverage on the forward position! Hao Yi turned his head, a cold and ruthless glint flashed in his eyes, and explained to Shen Hu coldly.

"The coordinates of the target area of each artillery group have been entered!" Haoyi's voice fell, and the team member in charge of the fire control system mechanically reported loudly.

"Fire! Smash those brutes! The iron fist slammed into the edge of the command platform, and Haoyi almost gritted his teeth and gave the order to fire.

"Boom, boom!" With Haoyi's seemingly ruthless command buzzing in the command center, several laser cannon crews located at the front of the battleship slammed into the Tico City directly below to pour out a series of bright laser cannon beams. Dense yellow beams of light whizzed down on the forward position, and earth-shattering explosions rang out in pieces, and between the fireballs, strange-shaped fragments of alien worm remains mixed with green disgusting slime flew out in all directions.

"Hooray!" The Marines, who had been stuck to the swarm army and couldn't get out, were startled by the battleship from the Fifth War Zone that suddenly appeared above their heads. However, when they saw the laser beams accurately fall into the swarm not far from them, the Marines jumped out of the trench one after another, waving their rifle weapons and shouting in a loud cheer.

Because of the timely artillery fire of the battleships, the defensive lines on the outskirts of Tico City, which were about to be lost, were able to stabilize their positions. The army of insects also seemed to be stunned by the sudden cannon fire that fell from the sky, and one by one the heads of the red sea were turned upside down. Although only a few artillery crews could be used, the rapid fire attack of less than three minutes still left the army of insects on the forward position, leaving behind piles of charred and disgusting corpse remains.

"Whew-shh With the wailing and hissing of the queen worms in the attacking forces of the swarm, the boundless sea of red worms miraculously stopped rolling forward as if they had received some order, and retreated from the battleship gunfire. However, the swarm army did not seem to have completely lost its fighting spirit, and after disengaging from the sea of fire, it slowly assembled as if waiting for the next order to charge.

"Uncle, if only all the guns of the battleship could fire at full power!" Looking at the red mark on the holographic radar, which represented the army of the insect swarm, was slightly out of contact with the forward position on the outskirts of Tico City, Hao Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and scolded with gritted teeth.

Because there were less than 100 members of the Hawkeye No. 1 Special Combat Detachment on the battleship, except for the command center and the control personnel needed for the main parts of the battleship, the special combat team members could only operate a few sets of laser cannon crews, and their firepower intensity did not even reach 10 percent of the battleship's full firepower. Moreover, after a three-minute concentrated fire attack mode, each crew needs at least a minute cooldown before firing again. At best, this round of timely artillery fire could only relieve the pressure on those forward troops a little, but could not pose any mortal threat to the main army of the insects.

"Sir, a communication request signal has been received on the ground!" At this moment, the team member in charge of the communication system suddenly turned around and shouted to Haoyi.

"Communication request?" Hao Yi was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then waved his big hand and hurriedly ordered: "Quick, take it in!" ”

"Hello Battleship Commander! I'm, eh? Uncle! The picture on the command platform in front of Haoyi flashed, and the image of Guo Ling covered in blood suddenly appeared. The rear admiral, who was fighting bloodily with his troops, had respectfully thanked the commander of the battleship from the Fifth Theater. However, as soon as he said a few words, Guo Ling suddenly recognized that this guy wearing a Fifth War Zone officer's uniform was actually his uncle Haoyi, who was looking forward to his return, and immediately cried out with joy.

"Hehe, I said, why is Lao Guo so virtuous? Did you get bitten in a chrysanthemum by those damn bugs? Seeing that this brother who had been born and died with him was safe and sound, Haoyi's originally blue face finally bloomed with a comfortable smile, and he looked Guo Ling up and down with great interest.

"Uncle, if you don't come back, I'm afraid I'm going to be really torn apart by those brutes!" Guo Ling, who came slowly, cried to Haoyi with a wry smile, and then his eyes flashed, and he asked curiously: "By the way, uncle, where did you grab this battleship?" I'm X, I just thought it was the dog day in the Fifth War Zone, but suddenly I opened my eyes to the sky, and I can actually send warships all the way to support us! ”

"It's a long story, anyway, it's a good thing that the rabbit cubs like Tigers do, and I'll explain it to you slowly when I have time!" Haoyi put away his joking face and asked in a deep voice, "How is Lao Guo's situation now?" Will the Tenth Army Group be able to continue to withstand the attack of the swarm? ”

"It's difficult, boss, the casualties of the main forces of the Tenth Army Group are close to 60 percent, and countless front-line companies have been almost torn apart by those brutes in formation!" Guo Ling's face changed when he heard this, he lowered his head and sighed, and explained to Hao Yi with a worried face: "You probably saw it just now, if it weren't for your timely round of artillery fire, those forward positions on the periphery of Tike City would be unable to hold it." I have prepared my troops to withdraw into Tiko City in an orderly manner, ready to take advantage of the complex terrain in the city and fight those brutes! ”

"What about the people of the city? Where have they gone? Hao Yi frowned and continued to ask.

"Before Tico City is completely surrounded, I have already arranged for some troops to evacuate the civilians in the Guardian City to our Longtan base and the government's original backup base. Although those two bases are a bit crowded for millions of people, fortunately, no trace of the alien army has been found near the two bases, and they are relatively safe for the time being! Guo Ling said to Hao Yi with a gloomy face: "However, I estimate that it won't be long before those beasts will soon discover those two bases!" ”

Hearing Guo Ling's words, Haoyi was suddenly silent. Although he had already known some information from Shen Hu before, Hao Yi still didn't expect the situation to deteriorate to such a point. According to what Guo Ling said, if there is no effective way to suppress the offensive momentum of the alien army, the entire Tikru Planet and even the entire St. Proli Star Region will probably be swallowed up by the boundless sea of blood-red insects.

"Uncle, maybe I'm a little alarmist, but it's true! The entire planet has been locked in a bitter battle for its close combat forces, and even if we can replenish our forces in time, those abominable bugs will always emerge from the ground as if they can never be killed. If ......" Guo Ling let out a long sigh again, the originally handsome face was already covered with blood, and the heroic sword eyebrows were tightly wrinkled.

"Okay, don't say it, let me think about it first!" Hao Yi waved his hand to interrupt Guo Ling's words, sat down with his head in his hands, clicked on the three-dimensional holographic map casually, and thought hard about the sea of blood-red insects above with Tike City as the center for hundreds of kilometers.

Seeing that Hao Yi was deep in thought, Guo Ling and the others in the command center in the hologram subconsciously didn't even dare to come out, and stared at this young man who was shouldering the lives of trillions of people in the entire star region with wide eyes.

"Lao Guo, take advantage of the temporary stop of the attack of the insect swarm, and quickly let the troops at the front line withdraw into the city! Keep the communication open and wait for my orders at any time! After a moment of silence, Hao Yi suddenly got up and instructed Guo Ling.

"Yes, uncle!" Seeing that Haoyi seemed to have an idea, Guo Ling's heart settled down a little, saluted respectfully, and hurriedly cut off the communication.

"Tiger, immediately collect the relevant data of all the insect swarms near Tico City, including the number of troops of this group of beasts, location coordinates, etc., the more detailed the better!" Then, Hao Yi turned back to Shen Hu on the side and gave a deep order, then enlarged the three-dimensional holographic map on the command platform, frowning and carefully identifying the swarm mark on it like a blood-red ocean.

Moments later, all the relevant data for the swarm army near Tico City was displayed on the 3D holographic map. Staring at those colorful digital signals and muttering for a moment, Hao Yi's heart suddenly flashed a glimmer of light, and he got up and ordered loudly to the team member in charge of the fire control system: "Immediately adjust all the energy of the battleship and start the nuclear energy main gun!" ”

"Nuclear artillery? Aunt, aunt, you don't want to flatten the entire city of Tiko, do you? Hearing Hao Yi's abrupt order, Shen Hu's heart jumped, and he asked in a stunned voice.
