Chapter 180: The Mourning Soldiers Will Win

Fifty kilometers outside of Tiko, a fierce resistance battle was being staged.

The boundless sea of blood-red insects was constantly impacting the battle line less than five kilometers long, and one missile after another, dragging a huge white tail flame, whistling through the low black smoke clouds, and slamming into the sea of red insects. Huge balls of fireball soared, and the ears were filled with sharp insect roars, and countless pieces of flesh and blood mixed with disgusting green liquid flew in all directions. Yellow plasma artillery shells fell from the sky in pieces, violently hitting the ground, turning into strange and gorgeous fireballs, enveloping everything around them in raging flames.

"Snort......"

In the face of the fierce fire of the human troops, the sea of blood-red insects erupted into bursts of earth-shattering rage, and the torrential rain of bone spurs and acid covered the improvised fortifications one after another. Almost all the gray figures that showed their cover were swallowed up by the terrifying and deadly torrential rain in an instant.

In mid-air, with a series of sharp roars, the hideous-looking allosaurs viciously slammed head-on into human fighters that were constantly firing fire at the ground. The destroyed fighters slammed into the sea of blood-red insects on the ground with billowing gunsmoke, and in the Zuihou moment of life, they still tried their best to burn countless insects into charred black wreckage.

The rumbling of guns and cannons was incessant, and the battle line, which was less than five kilometers long, had already been shattered by the blood-red sea that rushed over. Obviously, it won't be long before the entire front will be completely swallowed up by the sea of red worms.

This was the defensive position of the 9th Marine Division of the 10th Army Group, and the Forces nouvelles were deployed on a defensive line at Zuihou on the outskirts of Tico City. Once this line is crossed, the swarm's attack will reach the city of Tico. According to the rough calculation of the size of the Blood Red Worm Sea, the strength of this Alien Insect Force is at least one million, although compared to previous large-scale attacks, the scale of this Alien Insect Force is quite small. But for Tico at this time, a swarm of this size was enough to bring about annihilation.

At this time, the defense of Tiliang, the new capital of the republic, except for the 17th Armored Division of the Tenth Army Group, which was a reserve in Zuihou, consisted of tens of thousands of poorly equipped militiamen who had been hastily assembled. The huge military disadvantage makes this capital of the republic look like an empty city.

This army of insects that suddenly appeared in a mountainous area about 500 kilometers away from Tico City, miraculously evaded the search of several waves of anti-Japanese troops, and then easily tore through several hastily formed defense lines of the new army, and launched a frontal assault on Tico City from the east.

Less than an hour after the start of the blockade, the 9th Marine Division had already suffered heavy casualties. The casualty rate of officers and men was as high as 40 percent, and countless people were seriously and lightly wounded. If it is calculated according to a conventional campaign, this division can be said to have completely lost its combat effectiveness and can be directly regarded as a defeated formed unit.

However, with the exception of those who were urgently transported to the rear, almost all of the remaining thousands of officers and men of the 9th Marine Division were wounded, but they refused to take half a step back and were nailed to the defensive line.

The division commander was unfortunately martyred, and the young chief of staff took over the command. The regiment commander was killed, the battalion commander was on top, the battalion commander hung up, and the company commander continued to command. Whether it was officers or soldiers, the officers and men of the 9th Marine Division were completely killed. Everyone is armed with light and heavy weapons and even dagger grenades, and fights to the death against waves of insects that keep coming up. Unless they are torn to pieces of flesh by the insects or disemboweled, no one will stop what they are doing. All the officers and men of the 9th Marine Division were like fighting machines that had been beaten with chicken blood, and they were fighting tirelessly without fear.

"Da Da Da!" On a hillside where the headquarters of the 9th Division is located, a group of cockroaches and stinging snakes are frantically attacking the guard company that is responsible for the cover under the cover of countless jumping insects.

"Herald, go and report to the chief of staff, we can't stand it anymore, please withdraw to the rear as soon as possible! Fast! The commander of the guard company held a light machine gun and swept at the two jumping insects that jumped into the trench. In the midst of the rain of bullets, the two jumping insects were squeaked and jumped by the high-powered machine gun bullets, and after a period of convulsions, they turned into two bloody insect corpses.

"Yes, company commander!" The herald not far away shouted a word of agreement, swept at a group of cockroaches not far away, turned around and jumped out of the trench to run towards the temporary command post at the top of the hill.

"Poof......" However, before the herald could run a few steps, a dense rain of bone spurs roared, and the herald was stabbed into a hedgehog.

"Holy shit!" The commander of the guard company roared with red eyes, threw down the light machine gun in his hand, turned around and picked up a single missile placed in the trench, aimed at a group of stinging snakes that were rapidly surging up at the bottom of the hillside, and pulled the trigger heavily.

After a dull thud, the slender missile whizzed into the swarm with a long white tail flame. After a loud bang, a huge fireball rose up, and various pieces of flesh and blood from the remains of the stinging snake were thrown into the air.

......The company commander, who breathed a sigh of relief, had not yet put down the empty missile launcher in his hand, and there was a scream of a different dragon in mid-air. A dense row of blade worms roared over the company commander's figure......

"Headquarters, I am Lu Shen, chief of staff of the 9th Marine Division of the 10th Army Group. The forward of the Alien Insect Force has broken through the three lines of defense of our department in a row, and at present, our defense line is facing the danger of collapse on the entire line, and the division command post is also within the direct threat range of the Alien Insect Force. In view of the fact that our unit is no longer able to effectively block the forward offensive of the alien troops, we now implore the headquarters to immediately mobilize the rear heavy artillery cluster to implement comprehensive and indiscriminate fire coverage of the defense area where our unit is located! Complete! ”

In the humble temporary command post, a young staff officer covered in blood reported to the holographic communicator with a look of anger. On the communication screen, it was Hao Yi, the first chief of staff of the General Staff of the New Army, who was in the underground command center of the Longtan base.

"I beg for permission, the heavy artillery cluster directly under the headquarters will carry out full and indiscriminate fire coverage of the area where your department is located in one minute!" Hao Yi, who also had a tense face, agreed to the young staff officer's request with a straight face, and then suddenly raised his hand as a standard military salute: "Colonel, please accept my high respect for the thousands of officers and soldiers of your department on behalf of the thousands of civilians in Tico City!" Salute! ”

As Hao Yi's sonorous words sounded, all the senior staff officers in the command center behind him got up in unison and saluted the young chief of staff of the 9th Marine Division.

"Long live the Republic!" Suddenly, a surging warm current surged through the young chief of staff's heart, and with tears in his eyes, he returned a military salute to Haoyi and all the senior staff officers of the headquarters command center, and cut off the communication with a sonorous word.

"Sir, while the insects of the dog day have not yet attacked, you should quickly retreat with the wounded!" In the command post, another officer, who was also scarred, frowned and looked through the lookout hole, and the sea of red insects that was constantly surging at the foot of the mountain, anxiously persuaded Lu Shen.

"Captain Li, I order you to immediately take the wounded and quickly retreat to a safe area, and wait for the rescue of the reinforcements!" Lu Shen, who was slightly stunned in front of the communicator, came to his senses, glanced back at the one or two dozen wounded people lying in the command post, turned around and ordered the officer who persuaded him to evacuate.

"What about you, sir?" Captain Li was slightly stunned and asked.

"I'll cut you off! You can't all spread your feet and retreat! Somebody's got to get in the way, those dog-day brutes! Lu Shen said with a smile, walked to a table full of weapons, picked out a Haode assault rifle that was still counted, neatly loaded a full magazine, and clicked the bolt to load it.

"Sir, I'll cut off the queen! The rest of our brothers are counting on you to bring them back! Seeing this, Captain Li hurriedly stepped forward to argue.

"There's no time to dwell on it, Captain! Those dog-day bugs are coming, take the brethren out of here! Lu Shen frowned, and ordered in a loud voice with some impatience.

"No, we're not leaving! If you don't go, sir, we won't go! ”

"That's right, fight with the beasts of the dog day!"

"Damn, anyway, Lao Tzu has already been enough, before he dies, pull a few more pads, and then make a lot of money!"

"That's right, our Ninth Marine Division has never been a bad seed, and we have to die like a human being! Didn't say it, the brothers copied the guys, followed the chief, and fought with those brutes! ”

"Fight! Fight! ”

However, what Lu Shen didn't expect was that before Captain Li, who had a resolute face, could reply, the one or twenty wounded in the command post stood up one after another and raised their arms and shouted. For a time, the entire temporary command post was full of enthusiasm, and its ears were full of bold words about asking for battle.

"Sir......" Captain Li's big eyes were slightly red, and he looked at Lu Shen with some choked eyes.

"Good! Since everyone is determined to fight to the death to serve the country, then I, Lu, will take everyone to kill it again! On Huangquan Road, everyone will be a companion together, and we will be brothers in the next life! Lu Shen, who was full of emotion, shouted loudly to the officers and soldiers with tears, followed by a decisive wave of his big hand, and suddenly shouted: "Go!" Fight your way out! ”

"Fight your way out!" Officers and soldiers shouted slogans, poured out of the temporary command post, braved the overwhelming stinger acid rain, and resolutely crashed into the sea of red insects that were constantly surging on the hillside......

In the command center of the Longtan base, Hao Yi, who was sitting behind the command platform and closed his eyes to recuperate, still echoed in his mind the call between Shicai and Lu Shen, chief of staff of the Ninth Marine Division, and his heart was a little difficult to calm down.

In the face of such a ferocious invasion of alien races, the new army of the Republic, which was not very strong in combat, rarely broke out with amazing combat power. The severity of each battle is enough to make all veterans who have been through a hundred battles suddenly change color. All the new officers and soldiers, regardless of rank, position, and rank, have brought their bloody nature into full play in this life-and-death battle between humans and insects.

"The mourning soldiers will win!" Suddenly, Hao Yi couldn't help but think of an ancient proverb, and his heart trembled faintly.

That's right. In order to defend their homeland and save their loved ones from being slaughtered by brutal insects, almost every unit of the New Army has unconsciously turned into "mourning soldiers" with amazing combat effectiveness. The new army units that formed into formation were swallowed up one by one by the sea of blood-red insects, and countless comrades were buried under the claws of the insects. However, nothing seems to be able to stop the "mourning soldiers" from launching a death-defying charge against the insects!

"Uncle, the reconnaissance satellite seems to have captured the command center of this alien unit!" Just when Hao Yi's heart was a little agitated, the clear voice of Guo Ruo, the beautiful major who had just been appointed by himself to take charge of the outer space intelligence department, suddenly sounded in his ears......
