Chapter 591: Between Life and Death
The commander's temporary change of tactics achieved unexpected results.
The missile does not need to hit a certain target, it enters the explosion range and directly detonates itself, and the shock wave of the explosion covers the first wave of bugs rushing up.
In just a few breaths, those ugly and ferocious bugs were reduced to nothing. Seeing that this wave of attacks had an excellent effect, the missile fleet fired a second ** strike.
But this time the Zerg learned wisely, and they immediately controlled the rapid spread of the swarm. The distance between the robot bugs has increased, and the effect of the second ** attack is far less than the effect of the first round of attacks.
The second ** shot down only a few hundred robot bugs, a result that stunned all officers and soldiers.
But the swarm didn't give them time to think, and the swarm bypassed the blast area and rushed towards the missile fleet at lightning speed.
Seeing this, the commander immediately ordered the missile fleet to retreat, and at the same time launched missiles to intercept it. But the speed of the robot bugs was too fast, and in the blink of an eye, it caught up with the missile fleet.
Faced with the encirclement of the swarm, none of the officers and men of the missile fleet flinched. Knowing that they could not escape, they resorted to suicide attacks.
They launched all the missiles on the battleship in one go, and suddenly detonated as they approached the swarm.
Clusters of dazzling light, accompanied by a powerful shockwave, instantly engulfed the swarm. However, while engulfing the swarm, the missile destroyer itself was vaporized by the ultra-high temperature of the explosion.
Seeing this tragic scene in front of them, the officers and men of the Combined Fleet all shed tears of heartache.
One by one, the warriors clenched their fists, their eyes glowing with golden light, glaring at the Zerg mothership in front of them. They wanted to rush into the enemy's ships right now and crush the bugs into powder with their own hands.
Under the siege of the swarm, the missile destroyer suffered heavy losses. Hundreds of thousands of missile destroyers were wiped out in just a few minutes.
The remaining part of the missile destroyers escaped the encirclement with difficulty. And the swarm did not intend to let them go at all, and chased after them.
The commander of the missile fleet ordered full fire, but now there was a serious shortage of ammunition, and the missile launch stopped after less than two minutes.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the main fleet immediately took fire support. The vanguard fleet immediately changed to an attack formation, and all the main guns were quickly recharged, and launched a fierce attack on the rushing forward.
The dense rain of light was like a flood beast, rushing towards the enemy with a majestic momentum. In a few breaths, the light rain came close to the swarm.
In the face of such a dense attack, the swarm did not dare to resist. They immediately changed formation to avoid the attack of the battleship's main guns.
And the light rain came too quickly, and there were still many bugs injured. In just a short moment, the insect swarm covered by the light and rain disappeared from this space.
However, the number of swarms was too large, and wave after wave was wiped out. Even if the main fleet tried its best to protect it, the missile fleet was not spared.
All the officers and men watched as the missile unit was engulfed by the swarm, but they had nothing to do. They were extremely angry in their hearts and decided to fight to the death with the Zerg.
The main fleet retreated to the fourth line of defense, and they had to use the space-based cannon net and the battleships to resist the Zerg. There is no way back for them, this is the last line of defense.
All of them showed the utmost determination and swore to defend the last line of defense. They want to buy time for the convoys on the planet, and as long as the elites can move safely, they can leave the battlefield.
But the Zerg won't give them this chance, let them escape once, and it is impossible to let them escape a second time.
Just as the Combined Fleet was preparing to fight the Zerg to the death in the fourth line of defense, another fleet of the Zerg suddenly appeared near the spaceport.
Toot toot...
Rapid sirens sounded in the spaceport, and the officers and soldiers in the spaceport hurriedly looked out the window. Through the portholes, you can see huge motherships lined up not far away.
Seeing this scene, everyone's hearts were cold. The main fleet was holding back the swarm ahead, and only a handful of escort ships remained in the spaceport.
In the face of the Zerg mothership, the defense of the spaceport is negligible. Once the swarm attacks, the spaceport will only last for a maximum of five minutes.
The situation here was transmitted to the Combined Fleet at the first time, and when it was learned that the Zerg fleet appeared in the rear, the officers and men of the Combined Fleet were like deflated balls, completely losing their fighting spirit.
"It's over, it's all over!"
"He, how could they be there!"
"It's too late to go to the aid now!"
"O God! Do you really want our civilization to perish! ”
The officers and soldiers roared loudly, and they were unwilling in their hearts. This is a catastrophe, this is a catastrophe.
At the spaceport, the Zerg mothership went into action. The gate out of the hatch slowly opened, and a dense swarm of insects swarmed out of the hatch.
The robot bug waved its sharp tentacles, flicked its terrifying tail, and rushed towards the spaceport at lightning speed.
The area is covered by a dense swarm of insects, which now do not require instruments and can be seen with the naked eye. At this time, all the people in the spaceport looked at the scene in front of them with horror on their faces.
The spaceport immediately propped up its shields, and all the automatic guns quickly ejected, and there was a fierce strafing of the direction from which the swarm was coming.
The convoy also quickly transformed into an attack formation, and all the weapons on the battleship were fully deployed, and now the only purpose was to fend off this wave of insects.
On the side of the Combined Fleet, the commander immediately sent a fleet to support. Even though it was too late, they didn't give up.
"Attack, you must block them, you can't let these bugs get close to the spaceport!"
The commander of the escort fleet shouted loudly from the command room.
Escort fleets propped up their shields and rushed towards the swarm. Faced with the overwhelming swarm, the warriors felt that their legs were weak.
But when they fought with the swarm, they were surprisingly calm. At this time, there was no fear in their hearts, only how to destroy the enemy.
There are wives and children in the spaceport, and they must not allow these bugs to harm them. As long as they still have a breath of air, they will also have to resist these swarms.
At this time, the commanders of the spaceport also calmed down, and they knew very well in their hearts that the escort fleet was desperately trying to buy them time.
The soldiers would rather die than protect their families, and the commanders did not want these soldiers to die in vain, so they immediately ordered the staff to continue to move.
Wives, children, parents, with tears in their eyes, walked towards the transport ship, and from time to time looked in the direction of the escort fleet.
