Chapter 30: The Moment of Truth
"The evacuation team will be at base in ten minutes!" Frank received a signal that this was a wave of transport planes, and before they reached the base, the allosaurus in the sky had to be dealt with quickly, otherwise they would have to lose a large part of their men when they landed, he thought.
Every transport plane has a living life on it, and this must not be allowed to happen.
"How long will it take for the new anti-aircraft battery to go into battle?" Frank came to the vicinity of an SCV.
"In six minutes, a new batch of anti-aircraft batteries will be ready for service!" The other party responded. Frank nodded, "Go ahead and form!" Gotta be fast! ”
He went into battle again, he loaded a brand new magazine, the bullet was loaded, and the next second the muzzle of the shotgun was aimed high in the air.
The allosaurus moves very fast, but as a ghost agent, his nervous reflexes are not weak, and Frank's dynamic shili is even better.
He locked on to a target, and he didn't hesitate to pull the trigger.
"Bang!"
The muffled sound of the shotgun was drowned out by the artillery of the battlefield, and there was not a single splash, and in the sky, the head of an alien dragon suddenly shattered, its blood-red wings no longer stirred, and then fell diagonally to the ground like a meteorite under the inertia of the forward. Frank has locked on another target...
The sky is shrouded in artillery fire, these alien flying creatures shuttle through the artillery fire, countless allosaurs are either directly vaporized by missiles, or they are crushed by bullets and die, but they are not afraid of death, they do not retreat, they have only one goal - to destroy the enemy.
The Xenomorphs began to lose a lot of money, but the human forces were not without a price, they had been injected with a lot of stimulants, they could no longer be used, and without the blessing of stimulants, their combat power was declining.
A stream of blade worms crashed into a Marine on the ground! This man is none other than Renault!
"Be careful!" Frank's voice was almost hysterical, but even then it was insignificant under the deafening fire, but Reynolds' communicator-mounted ears felt deaf, and he looked up to see a flying monster with an abominable "T" silhouette squirting a sickly green cyst from its tail.
Renault was shocked, he knew what it was, and the moment the blade slammed into him, he lunged to the right.
The bladeworm exploded on the surface and quickly burst and ejected in all directions, and the core of the bladeworm's impact instantly rose with green smoke and was quickly corroded, and a pitch-black and smelly crater was extremely eye-catching.
"Oh my God!" Renault looked at the pit and broke out in a cold sweat, if this thing exploded on his body, would he still be alive?
The allosaurus glides low from the base as it catapults the blade worm, but it has been locked on by Frank not far away.
Bang! Bang!
Frank fired two shots in quick succession, the first bullet piercing his bloodwing epidermis, but this did no real damage to the allosaurus, and the tattered epidermis quickly repaired itself, while the other bullet became its talisman, and the second bullet pierced its main body. It let out a wail, a strong and powerful pair of blood wings failed to wave again for a while, it instantly fell from a high altitude and fell to the ground, this alien dragon just fell into the interior of the backwater base, the strong inertia made this alien dragon rub on the ground more than ten meters away, the ground was instantly dyed red, at this time the blood of the alien dragon rubbed on the ground, this blood and human blood are very different, at least the blood of the alien dragon is red and black.
Thankfully, the monster with the form of a siege tank didn't hit anyone, and if a Marine was hit by such a strong inertial impact, he would almost certainly die.
The vitality of the Zerg is incredible, even if this allosaurus is so seriously injured, it still has terrible combat power and destructive power, it tries its best to incite its wings to fly, when Frank is about to give it two more shots, only to see four or five pyros wearing red battle armor have surrounded this seriously injured allosaurus to mend the knife.
"Burnt earth, want to barbecue? Smells, kind of like victory! One of the Pyros raised his mechanical arm, and the four blast holes were aimed at the allosaurus to spew flames as he screamed.
This alien dragon has turned into a roasted dragon, but no one should dare to eat these things.
Frank quickly walked up to Renault and stretched out his hand, "How's it going?" ”
Renault opened the head compartment and spat heavily, and when he was about to take a hand, he found that Frank's body could be lifted up? He was wearing combat armor, Frank saw that the other party's hand was a little long enough, only to see him lean forward and directly hold Renault's mechanical arm, he frowned slightly, this guy was indeed a bit heavy, but he finally helped Renault up.
"Hey, hey!" Renault smiled silently, unexpectedly this guy's strength was amazing.
"A wave of transport planes has arrived!" Frank looked up at the sky, several ships of transport planes could be clearly seen with the naked eye, and he also saw that the transport planes were escorted by ghost fighters, but at this moment they became the first target of the allosaurus.
"Quick! Cover them! Renault retracted his smile, with a solemn look on his face, he clenched the heavy sniper in his hand to lock on to the alien troops in the air, as long as he was hit by the "HVE" bullet of the heavy sniper, whether it was the head or the subject part, he could basically take one out of one shot.
Frank instantly threw himself into the battle, even in the face of high-speed flying aliens, his shooting frequency was still not low, although his shotgun did not have the same piercing ability as Renault's heavy sniper next to him, but he could accurately hit the enemy's head with every shot, and the hit rate was as high as 90%.
And Kelly Root has not said a word since she entered the battle, she is better at front-line operations, and she likes front-line operations, so she handed over the command and defensive deployment to Frank, she believes that her deputy has this ability, and in fact, as she expected, Frank's methodical deployment is not the most perfect, only more perfect.
And her firepower output is even more terrifying, she barely wastes a bullet, each bullet easily takes away a flying dragon, which is even more efficient than the missiles of the defense and control battery.
Zuihou finally arrived at the base, and they were about to make a vertical landing, but the alien creatures in the air didn't want them to land on the ground without any stress.
I saw a few strands of blade worms sprayed at a half-landed transport plane, one of the engines of the transport plane was corroded, and the transport plane emitting billowing smoke instantly lost its balance and circled and fell at an altitude of more than ten meters.
The soldiers on the ground who were about to answer looked at the falling plane, and their hearts and livers were about to jump out in fright.
"Spread out! Disperse! A sergeant shouted.
The transport plane circled directly in the air and smashed to the ground, and the transport plane full of people was about to explode.
"Hurry up and put out the fire!" Renault threw away the heavy sniper, picked up the fire extinguisher, and ran to the transport plane.
Frank wanted to stop him from doing such a dangerous thing, but after thinking about it, he gave up, firstly, wearing land armor should not be too dangerous, and secondly, even if he wanted to stop him, it was impossible, he knew what Renault's character was like.
Frank stopped shooting, he looked around the battlefield, fought for several hours, the number of insects killed was incalculable, but they were still endless, it was not a way to go on like this, at that time, his own personnel would sooner or later be dragged to death by the opponent's insect sea tactics, and the battle has not only reduced the number of his own personnel, but also the combatants are beginning to fatigue, stimulants have been injected several times, more stimulants can keep this group of soldiers in combat power, but it is not without a price, Frequent injection of stimulants in a short period of time will inevitably lead to the possibility of death.
He returned to the command center and quickly made his way to the main console, "Captain! When will we be able to board the ship? ”
"At least not yet! We have already had a firefight in outer space with the enemy's air force, there are too many of them! I've asked for help from Keha! Five capital ships are already on the way, they will be there in four hours, you will have to hold on for another four hours, and after four hours, three capital cruisers will jump directly to the surface of the planet, and you will be able to board the ships at that time. The captain responded to him. As he said, more and more allosaurs have broken through the upper atmosphere into outer space to engage them, and fortunately, the heavy and somewhat perverted steel armor of the battle cruisers can withstand most of the attacks, but the shells of these three battle cruisers are no longer presentable, although they have not been able to deeply corrode the steel plates.
"Four hours! Forty minutes is probably the limit, we can't hold on for that long, the number of enemies is increasing! Frank smiled bitterly, paused, and then said, "Can't you send a capital ship from outside the high orbit directly to the surface?" ”
"No! We're pinned, once the cruiser reaches the surface, the shield will be temporarily deactivated and will only attract more aliens, the only way to do this is to wait for reinforcements to arrive! Frank saw the captain in the display panel and shook his head, and the other party quickly said, "That's it! I'll drop all the mechanized and infantry mobile units left on the ship! 5,000 people were forcibly airborne in high orbit, and at least 3,000 people were able to safely parachute to the ground, so they should be able to hold it! ”
The cost of this kind of airborne landing is not inexpensive, almost half of the personnel will be expected to be intercepted by the alien force when they are airborne, there is no fluctuation when the captain says this, the commander is always ruthless, this is a decision made after weighing the size of the gains and losses, not only on the ground, but also on the ground, Kellygan and Frank, two elite-level ghost agents, for these two people alone they can make a thousand sacrifices to save them, not to mention, there are more than 200,000 people in the backwater station. It is worth exchanging a few thousand people for hundreds of thousands of people from another point of view, and the sacrifice of these thousands of people can be regarded as sacrificing the small self and completing the big self.
This is war.
"Alright! I hope nothing goes wrong in the middle of the way! Frank eventually shut down communication with the bridge.
"How's it going? Frank, when will I get out of here? Kelly Root communicated.
"It will take four hours, and in six minutes the airborne troops will arrive on the ground, and there will definitely be airborne capsules outside the backwater station, we can't ensure that all the personnel who fall outside the backwater station will enter the base safely, but we must do everything we can to save them, these are our support forces, we can't let them die!" Frank responded to the other party.
He walked out of the command center and turned on the public radio band, "Soldiers! Our support units are already in the air, and in five minutes they will be on the ground, and everyone will be ordered to be doped again! This is zuihou a dose! Once the reinforcements arrive, you can retire to the battlefield to recuperate! ”
On the periphery of the planet's high orbit, the first wave of the airborne capsule of the three capital ships has entered the atmosphere, the second wave of the airborne capsule has ejected from the ship, and the third wave of the airborne capsule is urgently assembling...
