Chapter 118: Comeback

Outside the city of Tico, inside the reddish-brown earth, the blood that had seeped in a few days ago had not yet dried up, and it was directly burned black by bursts of merciless artillery fire. The boundless blood-red sea, which represented the swarm, once again surged from the sky, enclosing the city, which symbolized the dignity of the planet Zuihou in Tikru, making it like a flat boat on a raging sea, and it could be swallowed up by the scarlet and hideous red Lang at any time. The originally blue sky had now turned into a black and red canopy of cautious people with rolling clouds, and the aerial army of insects like a swarm of mosquitoes was roaring towards the giant beast-class battleship that slowly hovered over Tico City. The heavens and the earth were filled with all kinds of strange insects roaring and roaring, and the entire planet seemed to be trembling, a terrifying scene of the coming apocalypse.

"The forward of the Swarm Ground Forces is less than ten kilometers away from the forward positions of our army! The commander of the heavy artillery cluster deployed in depth in the rear asked for advice on whether disruptive fire was allowed! In addition, this time, the alien army has transferred tens of thousands of alien dragons from unknown corners, and they are charging at the battleship "Hope", and it is expected that they will enter the firefight range in three minutes! Guo Lingtie blushed, looking at the red and blue markers on the holographic command platform that represented the Shili of both the enemy and us, listening to the report of the colonel staff officer next to him, the fists on the side of the command platform were subconsciously clenched, and the "Hope" battleship was the life-saving battleship that Shen Hu and others smuggled back from the Fifth War Zone. After a few days of recuperation and replenishment of ammunition and crew, the Hope was now fully armed and ready to fight into the swarm army with teeth and claws just waiting for the commander's order to attack.

Without the support of large Worm air units such as the Corruptor, it would be almost impossible for the Worm's ground forces to inflict lethal damage on a thick-skinned aerial giant like the Space Battlecruiser. On the contrary, a battleship with powerful long-range firepower can deliver devastating blows to the ground forces of the Alien at will.

The wave of insect troops that attacked Tico City a few days ago probably didn't expect to kill such a deadly battleship halfway, but they were caught off guard by Haoyi to find the front-line worm nest assembly site and directly bombarded it with the main cannon of nuclear energy. However, fortunately, those who lost were only low-level hives, and the higher-level hives scattered in the rear did not suffer the slightest damage, so the army of insects quickly recovered and made a comeback.

And this time, they brought with them a dense army of Xenosaurs.

As mentioned before, Allosaurus is the main force of the air force of the swarm army, and is good at attacking the enemy from the air, and their weapon is the kind of blade worm with strong corrosiveness and toxicity, which can cause severe erosion damage to the enemy's armor methyl body. If it was a single dragon, for the battleship of the giant in the sky, it might be like an ant under the feet of a giant at best. However, if thousands of allosaurs were gathered together, the rain of bladeworms they shot at high speed could also pose a deadly threat to the thick-skinned battleship.

"Order the commander of the heavy artillery cluster to wait for the forward of the Alien Insect army to be three kilometers away from our forward position before conducting disruptive fire! Tell them to be sure to conserve ammunition and get the most out of every shell! Guo Ling didn't have time to express his feelings about the insects that couldn't be killed, and after a little silence, he gritted his steel teeth and waved his hand to the staff officer beside him.

"Three kilometers? General, will that distance be too close? Although he knew that Guo Ling's order was to save the few ammunition left in the troops, the staff officer was still a little surprised: "According to the information we have, the main force of the alien insects, that is, those jumping insects, is not slow, and the distance of three kilometers is only a matter of time for them, so will the pressure on the frontline troops be too great?" ”

"We can't take care of that much, if we don't save some valuable long-range firepower, then I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to withstand the next wave of insect swarm attacks!" Guo Ling sighed helplessly when he heard this. He also knew that his order might cost the front-line troops even more casualties. But for now, relatively speaking, valuable long-range firepower is the key to supporting human troops to withstand more insect attacks, and although the blood of front-line fighters is equally valuable, how can you have both fish and bear's paws? After repeated weighing, Guo Ling had to endure the blood in his heart and issued this extremely harsh order.

"Subordinates understand, General!" Looking at the embarrassment on Guo Ling's haggard face, the colonel's staff officer was suddenly relieved, and responded in a faint whisper, as if remembering something, he raised his head and continued to ask: "General, do we need to dispatch the Hope and use its powerful firepower and its escort aircraft group to relieve a little pressure on the forward troops?" ”

"No way!" When Guo Ling heard this, he categorically vetoed: "The Hope has become the primary target of the swarm dragon army, and it can't be allowed to risk falling into the encirclement of the swarm army." The Swarm of Allosaurs is a formidable force to be reckoned with, and we must use the anti-aircraft firepower of the ground forces in Tico City to help the Hope withstand the Allosaurus Army's onslaught! ”

Speaking of this, Guo Ling frowned and paused, stretched out his hand to click on the image on the holographic command platform, glanced at the deployment points of the air defense units of the Tenth Army Group, and continued to order the colonel's staff officer with a slight sigh: "Immediately notify the air defense units of the Tenth Army Group, immediately take the Hope as the center, readjust the deployment of defensive positions, and tell them that they must protect the Hope at all costs!" As he spoke, Guo Ling's clenched right fist slammed heavily on the edge of the command platform, making a dull and light sound, which startled the busy staff officers on the side to cast surprised glances.

"Yes, General!" The colonel's staff officer answered in a loud voice, gave a military salute to Guo Ling, and wanted to turn around and leave.

"Wait, you go and get Shen Hu, the captain of the first special operations team of Hawkeye, for me!" Guo Ling, who straightened up and breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand and called out to the staff officer.

"Haode, General!" Looking at the figure of the staff officer leaving in a hurry, Guo Ling suddenly felt a wave of fatigue hit him, let himself fall softly into the seat behind the command platform, looked up at the bright grid light above the command center, and muttered to himself: "Uncle, the beast of the dog day is here again, where are you now?" If I don't come back, I really can't bear it! ”

"Boom, boom!" At the forward position outside Tico City, a huge fireball smashed into it with a roar, and it was surging into the sea of blood-red insects that were frantically surging towards Tico City. With the piercing wails and roars of the insects, all kinds of countless fragments of flesh and blood of insect claws and wolf teeth scattered and flew in all directions. The boundless sea of insects seemed to have been torn open by this overwhelming ferocious artillery fire, and in the "wounds", the corpses of insects were all over the field and rivers of blood. However, Rao was like this, these bugs, who had never known what they were "afraid of", still pushed their blood-red heads desperately towards Tico City.

"A row, guns and grenades ready! Second platoon fire cover! Three platoons are ready to replace one platoon with reinforcements! On the position of a certain marine company on the front, the commander of a captain's company stared at the jumping insects who broke through the fire network of heavy artillery clusters, and waved his hand to the marines behind him with a loud order.

"A row is ready!" "Second row ready!" ……

In the fortifications that had been restored and reinforced, the loud reports of the sergeants rang out. The captain and company commander stared viciously at the ugly jumping insects that were only less than a hundred meters away from the forefront of the position, slowly closed his helmet and mask, raised his right arm high, and threw it down violently and heavily.

"Fire!" With a roar of rage, it erupted from the CMC armor, and a dense rain of spike bullets mixed with jet-black round grenades slammed towards the head of the blood-red insect sea head-on.

"Boom, boom!" The loud roar of gun grenades and the sound of small fragments of spike shells suddenly resounded in the front of the position. The jumping insects, whose arms and legs were knocked off, rolled on the ground with wails and screams. The fellow jumping worms who followed him seemed to be indifferent to the injured companions at all, and even some of the enraged jumping insects desperately stepped on the injured companions who fell to the ground, and continued to pounce forward with their teeth and claws.

"Da-da For a while, all the defensive lines were filled with dense gunfire and the angry roars of insects, and a bright and bloody "red belt" suddenly formed in the entire frontier position on the periphery of Tico City. The blood-red sea of insects continued to push the red belt, and little by little it was rolling towards the various forward defense lines, and it seemed that there was no liliang that could stop the red Lang head that was constantly surging forward.

"Squeak!" Finally, the first jumping worm broke through the dense barrage and roared into the Marine Company's fortifications, its cold, fishy claws swinging and threatening to slash off the head of a Marine with a stuck rifle.

"Da Da Da!" Three precise spike bullets almost grazed the Marine's scalp, swirling and tearing open the soft underbelly of the jaw of the jumping worm, and a small explosion was heard, and the huge crocodile's head was suddenly torn apart, and the green and smelly blood suddenly drenched the frightened Marine.

"It's okay, old five!" Another nearby Marine asked with concern as he stretched out his hand to the limp Marine and tried to pull him up.

"Poof!" However, before the Marine known as the Fifth Soldier could come to his senses, there was a muffled sound of tearing armor and limbs, and a sharp claw actually pierced the chest of the Marine who saved him from back to front, and a stream of red and warm blood immediately stained his holographic helmet mask into a blur.

"No!" Suddenly, as if awakened by a nightmare, the Marine named Lao Wu let out a heart-rending roar, threw down the stuck rifle in his hand, took out the stainless steel dagger in the armor of his legs, and yelled at the ugly black shadow behind the dead marine: "Ah, die to Lao Tzu!" ”

"Whew!" As if in response to the Marine's roar, the jumping worm that had just harvested the life of a Marine opened its bloody mouth and pounced on the Marine who was brandishing a dagger and rushing towards him.

For a while, the roars of humans and insects rang out one after another on the forward position, and the rumbling of guns and cannons was still endless, as if the strange "symphony" symbolizing the death movement actually made the heavens and the earth suddenly change color.
