Chapter 212: Forward!
At night, the temperature of the Magic Sand Desert will drop to minus 150 degrees, and even the sand will freeze, and the soldiers have power armor to maintain the temperature, not afraid of low temperatures, but there are no logistics robots to follow, and even the most basic camping preparations are not available, so they can only rest on the spot - in the Magic Sand Desert, they can't even find anything to burn, and naturally they can't raise the fire.
The warriors of 177 gathered in a circle, quietly and excitedly discussing today's battle. Ordinary warriors are okay, the five members of the Sharp Knife Team can't sleep with excitement at all, Xiao Ming and Remidios' performance today opened their eyes, and for the first time they knew that their personal strength could be so high.
And Remidios's attitude of not denying or admitting himself and Xiao Ming's body made the five of them have countless guesses, good and bad, always lingering in their minds.
"Captain, what is the person who spewed out of the multi-eyed monster today?" The five of them discussed for a long time, and finally found a topic for Steve to talk to Xiao Ming.
"That's the last life-saving means of the Evil Fire Mother, they can swallow the right size of humans or star beasts into the abdomen, and then carry out infection transformation, not only can retain the combat effectiveness of the body, but even improve, this kind of infected person will always be cultivated in the body of the Evil Fire Mother, and the combat effectiveness will continue to improve, but this kind of infected person also has a great weakness, that is, the survivability is not high, once it is spit out by the Evil Fire Mother, its survival time limit is very limited, and it is the life-saving means that the Evil Fire Mother will only use at the moment of life and death!" Xiao Ming said.
"How did the captain know? We've never heard of the Flame Mother having such abilities!" Edward looked at Xiao Ming with adoring eyes.
"I know a friend who studies the Polaf worm, and he told me!" Xiao Ming said lightly.
In fact, the humans of 2533 did not discover this ability of the Mother of Evil Fire at all, because before the Karl Stream was promoted. Humans mostly use long-range heavy fire bombardment tactics to deal with insects above the king bug level. There are few individual squad combat decapitation operations. And the ability of the Evil Fire Mother also depends on luck. Some Evil Fire Mothers will not have infected people if they have not encountered the right infected materials.
Therefore, it was not until 2710 that this ability of the Mother of Evil Fire was discovered and targeted by humans. In 2533, no one knew about it at all.
Xiao Ming couldn't explain this, so he had to push it on his unwarranted friend.
However, the recruits of the Sharp Knife Team have long worshiped Xiao Ming as a god, and Xiao Ming said that he would, and they would not doubt it.
"A captain is a captain, erudite and talented. If it were me. I didn't know that the multi-eyed monster had this ability, and if it did, it would definitely suffer a big loss!" Edward touched his head and smirked.
"Captain, what kind of martial arts did you use today? Why have you never seen one?" Helena asked after a moment's hesitation.
The other four also looked at Xiao Ming nervously, revealing longing.
"What I learned, you can't learn. But can I teach you what you can learn, can you?" Xiao Ming's first half of the sentence made the hearts of the five people sink, but the second half of the sentence made the five of them excited again.
"The captain is a supernatural, and the supernatural can learn. We can't learn either. You just teach us what we can learn!" Edward was a straight man, and he took it for granted that Xiao Ming said that they couldn't learn because they weren't superpowers.
Of course. This guy is also a little clever, and uses this way to test whether Xiao Ming is a stranger.
Xiao Ming didn't admit it, nor did he deny it, but said, "After this mission is completed, I will teach you." But I don't know how much time you have, how much you can learn, it's up to you!"
The five of them looked at each other, not knowing what Xiao Ming meant by the limited time.
"You don't have to think about it, just remember my words, it's late, rest early!" Xiao Ming ended the conversation.
Edward didn't know why, so he grinded Steve for a long time and asked him to ask Hans.
Hans listened to Steve's question and smiled faintly: "You don't think that Xiao Ming and Remidios will stay in our company forever with such strength." The two of them are non-staff personnel, and they cannot be regarded as regular personnel at all. ”
The five of them thought about Xiao Ming and Ruimidios's exaggerated strength, and they were quickly relieved.
Indeed, everyone understands that the use of high-end force in ordinary troops is a waste of manpower, and it is already a very good result for Xiao Ming and Remidios to be able to be in the 177th Company for a period of time.
Early the next morning, the troops set out again, and at this time they were still 400 kilometers away from their predetermined position, and the entire encirclement network had been initially formed, and the three armies of 100,000 men advanced on all fronts, step by step. On the first day, most of the companies did not encounter bugs, and the troops that were ambushed and almost wiped out like 118 were extremely rare, and they were definitely unlucky to the extreme.
But the next day was different, 90% of the troops had only advanced 50 kilometers before they encountered a strong resistance from the bugs, and an hour later, the preliminary report was already in. Within an hour, 100,000 troops were attacked by a total of three million swarms.
This data is definitely dozens of times more than the previous data from the overall holographic scan. This means that the swarm is starting to hatch eggs.
This was also the response of the swarm after the military headquarters pushed Karl Stream and achieved brilliant results in Sinowei and Nanjiwei. Although incubating these eggs in advance will make the hatched insects less combative, it is better than leaving them there to be destroyed by humans.
And the eggs in each hatchery will not fall in 10 million, which means that the strength of three armies and 100,000 soldiers is far from enough.
However, since Karl Flow will become the mainstream combat method against the swarm in the future, it is naturally impossible to have such a big flaw. After confirming that the swarm had begun to hatch eggs, the three armies of 100,000 soldiers temporarily halted their advance. And the fleet, which had been waiting in the orbit of Mosha for a long time, had already launched an operation.
If the bugs are hidden underground, the starship's concentrated fire attack effect is not very good, and if the power is small, it will not be able to hit the bugs, and if the power is too high, even the planet will be damaged. But once the bugs break out of the ground, they become the best targets. Not to mention that the range is enclosed in a relatively fixed area, and only one A-class fleet is needed to carry out a covering attack on the entire area.
At the same time that the marines stopped marching, the attack on the track had already arrived. It's like a meteor shower during the day. The entire central area of the Magic Sand Desert was shrouded in a rain of white light. Then I saw countless clouds of explosions rise into the sky.
These attacks have long been set to power, and they will only go ten meters deep underground, and they are mainly shocking attacks, even if the bugs hide below the sand layer at a depth of thirty meters, they will be shocked to death.
"It's spectacular!" Bigmouth looked at the light rain in the sky and the explosion clouds in the distance, and waved his fist fiercely: "Bed bugs, go die!"
"It's a pity, if it's not the Demon Sand Desert, you can use land-based fighters. The low-altitude bombardment will be more effective, and we can call in reinforcements at any time!" Oin said with pity.
"Forget it, if there is no interference, we can drive Hercules and Thor in and blow them all the way over, and we don't need any air support. This is good for large forces, and bugs cannot form an absolute advantage in numbers. Big Mouth laughed.
"Yes, a lot has changed now! If they had used this tactic earlier, they wouldn't have ...... the artillery," Oin lamented.
They didn't know that Karl Liu's appearance had something to do with Xiao Ming, or they had some guesses. But there is no evidence. This is a highly confidential matter in the military department, and the only people who know about it are the old generals and those military bigwigs.
"Don't think about irrelevant things. Cheer up. It's going to be our turn soon!" Podol looked over.
"Yes!" Bigmouth and Oin stopped being nostalgic, they were both veterans and knew what to do and when.
After two hours of saturation bombardment, the entire central area of the Magic Sand Desert. After two hours of repeated crushing and melting process, the entire central area has been changed beyond recognition, and you can see from afar that the entire desert has become a rocky Gobi, full of black scorched earth and strangely shaped lava.
"That's ugly!" said Big Mouth happily as he looked into the distance.
The sand has become like this, and the shallow insects are certainly not spared, and the swarm has been hit hard.
"Received the order to go, everyone, let's go!" The Sharp Knife Team opened the way, one platoon followed closely, and the second platoon and three platoons followed left and right!" Podol gave the order to advance.
The soldiers who had been impatient for a long time set off again, the hot earth still emitted curling black smoke, and the temperature of the ground exceeded two hundred degrees, if it were not for the protection of power armor, it would not be long before people stood on it and would be roasted.
Such an environment will exacerbate the interference with the holographic scanning system, reducing the reconnaissance ability of the troops to a dangerous level, but this is also an option, if the bugs are given enough breathing time, they will hatch more bugs, then the previous bombardment will be in vain.
One hundred thousand warriors pushed forward steadily, killing anything that moved more than two legs.
The swarm has been fatally hit, the surface swarm has been killed and wounded, and there are not many insects in the deep layer, most of them are still eggs that have not hatched, although the hatching speed of the swarm is extremely fast, but it also takes time. That's the time humanity needs.
The 177th Company didn't know if it was luck, and it didn't encounter bugs after advancing a hundred kilometers, which made Big Mouth quite emotional: "We won't have a fight to fight after reaching the target position, then we will really lose a lot this time." All the battle exploits have been taken by others!"
However, Podol is willing to see such a situation, and the battle is some, and the bugs can't be killed. As long as the set mission objectives are completed and the worm mother is finally killed, then the meritorious service of any unit is the same.
Fortunately, or unfortunately, the 177th Company did not encounter any more bugs until they reached the target location, and after they reached the target position, they were ordered to stay in place, not letting go of a single bug, but they could not move casually.
The guard mission lasted from two o'clock in the afternoon to seven o'clock the next morning. The noise of battle could be heard in the distance, but there was nothing here in 177.
"I said, the worm can't be scared because he knows that Xiao Ming is here, right?" said Oyin whimsically. (To be continued......)
