Chapter 36: Preparing for a Decisive Battle

The attack on the six orbital defenses did not go well, and the arrival of Astral reinforcements caused quite serious trouble. Although the six armies in charge of the offensive had achieved their goals, they had basically suffered considerable losses in personnel and were almost unable to form any combat effectiveness.

While withdrawing the attacking forces, the human warship, which had been silent in high altitude for a long time, was finally able to exert its firepower, and the Hydra, with its petite size and high mobility, was the first to break into the atmosphere, followed by Hyperion, and A1 was the last.

The battleship shook violently as it burst in, and the atmosphere rubbed red heat on the battleship's shield.

Penetration into the atmosphere does have its risks, and while it can support troops on the front line, it also exposes the battleship to enemy anti-aircraft fire. But in order to quickly complete the task and leave, Yang Yi and Renault couldn't care so much.

The first thing to do after breaking into the sky above the position was to drop the air force. Prior to this, the existence of orbital defense facilities and the fact that many air force fighters could not break through the atmosphere on their own, so they had not used air force units to participate in the war. Now that the warship has arrived in the atmosphere with its fighters, the air force can finally show its strength.

The second is to drop the remaining forces to the surface, including a range of logistics and reinforcements, as well as armored units that the Marine Corps has been waiting for. These are the keys to dealing with the astral spirits.

A1 handed over the control of the battleship to an AI of his own making, and then went to command the troops of the pirate regiment himself, and planned to go to the front line with the troops himself, and meet the promoted.

The ground forces stepped up their efforts to expand their positions and began to send reconnaissance units to the Star Spirit Base to build forward positions.

Keha point.

"The big troops are coming, and it looks like the end of the operation is not far away." Kim looked at the landing area not far away and kept putting down the transport planes of the armored forces, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, my squad is finally able to replenish the combatants...... MD, that damn Star Spirit Battery, lost three of Lao Tzu's soldiers for nothing......" Douglas muttered a little low.

"My squad has also lost a lot, if only there were more guys with combat effectiveness on top. It's better not to be a rookie egg......"

"Kim, Douglas!" The platoon commander suddenly walked in front of the two of them at this time, "The order from above has come down, you guys pack up and prepare to go to other troops." ”

"Other troops?!"

"Well, you had a good fight last time, and the above decided to promote you." As he spoke, the platoon commander patted the arms of the two people, "Do a good job, don't embarrass Lao Tzu." Someone else in your class will take over...... I didn't expect you to rise faster than me. ”

"Why don't you give it a boost, head?"

"I don't have that luck." The platoon commander snorted, "That group of scholars doesn't know anyone, if it weren't for the guards at the head of the company, I would have punched the head of the battalion secretary directly!" ”

"Clerical? Anderson, the madman with a head full of plant insects? ”

"Or else?! What idiot in the entire battalion could make Lao Tzu so angry?! The platoon commander seemed to complain about this, "Okay, okay, I won't say more." Pack up your things, say to the brothers in the platoon, and get out of here. Your new unit is the 17 separate company, go there and report. ”

Kim and Douglas looked at each other, nodded immediately, and after saluting, turned around and hurried to the supply depot where their respective classes were.

The platoon commander looked at the figures of the two people leaving in a hurry, and swung two punches into the void of the two people, and seemed to spit viciously, but because of the power armor, he didn't seem to be embarrassed to spit out, so he could only leave in a huff.

On the other side, the supply depot belonging to the 17th Infantry Squad of the 76th Independent Company.

Ral closed the lid and handed it back to the medic, "I didn't expect you to dare to do that...... That is, you medics can enter the laboratory, otherwise your samples will not be able to be stored for a few days and will become as foul as excrement. ”

"Of course." Medic Miles said with some smugness, "These samples are excellent material for studying extraterrestrial creatures, and I don't believe those guys are not interested...... Moreover, these samples can be expensive on the black market. ”

"These must have been collected in private, right?" Four Eyes took it off and wiped it carefully.

"Well, it's basically spending some money to work with those cleaning squads while cleaning up the battlefield, and then collecting the corpses of those alien creatures at that time. Although it is a bit of trouble, it adds up, and now there is a sample of the Star Spirit Fanatic...... It's a pity that I didn't get in touch with the remains of those insects, it is said that the previous desert drill was to deal with insects, and the samples of insects are a little more diverse than those of the star spirits......"

"As long as you don't get interested and collect us as samples......

After the operation against the orbital defenses, the 76th Infantry Squad suffered heavy losses, leaving only Four Eyes and Rahr alive. Medic Miles will be added to the base after the subsequent withdrawal, and it is said that five more people will join the battle sequence. It's just that the only problem is that Four Eyes was dismissed from his position as squad leader because of the excessive casualties caused by the command error.

"Miles, where is your hometown?"

"Me? I was born in Terrador Nine, and I was admitted to Yumoyan University and returned to Terra Dorvir Nine after graduation. Miles thought for a moment and put the box back under the bed as he said, "At that time, the war between the Empire and the Alien broke out, and I was wondering if I could serve the Empire, so I signed up for the army. Because I majored in nursing, I became a medic...... That's why I survived. ”

Ral looked at Four-Eye, who shrugged his shoulders.

"You volunteered to join the army?"

"Hmm...... Were you drafted into the army? Resocialization? ”

"I was re-educated before I joined the army." Ral pointed to himself, then said, "Ban...... The four eyes are forced by life. I couldn't find a suitable job in Keha to join the army, and my academic qualifications were not bad, and I was an undergraduate student with a double degree in extraterrestrial biology and astral sociology at Imperial College London. ”

"Imperial College London?!" Miles was stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed with some excitement, "That's one of the Imperial Ivy League schools!" I wanted to apply for Imperial College London, but my grades were not enough to get in, but I didn't expect to be a senior of Imperial College London! ”

Four Eyes and Ral glanced at each other and sighed, "There's no need to be so excited. No matter how well I learned, wouldn't it be like this now? Remember to keep your samples, and if you really plan to sell them, remember to call the Venerable Master to protect you, I have seen several times in the Kehahei market where samples have been snatched by others...... The Port of the Dead will only get more chaotic. ”
