Chapter 19: Death and Rebirth
When the mushroom cloud of orbital bombing dispersed, several squadrons of J10 tactical aircraft accompanied a Thunderhawk fighter flew towards the Chongqing lair. They are the vanguard of the way to clear the lairs.
The original plan was that the assault force of the expeditionary force was responsible for the decapitation, but the plan could not catch up with the change, and the orbital bombardment directly destroyed the BETA to be faced in the united war, so now they are responsible for removing the scum in the lair.
Cui Yifei led the Storm Squad to fly around Thunderhawk, and she looked at the land destroyed by the bombing outside the tactical aircraft. SHREDDED CHARRED BETA CORPSES EVERYWHERE, THE RUGGED MOUNTAIN TERRAIN WAS BLOWN INTO DEEP PITS, AND THE DENSE WOODS LEFT ONLY CARBONIZED WRECKAGE.
Cui Yifei, the captain with an amazing record of achievements, only felt a little breathless, and she couldn't imagine what would happen if the battleships in orbit continued to attack.
After a period of flying, the swarm finally approached the area where the nest was located, or rather the area where the nest was built, and the terrain changed so much by the orbital bombardment that the previous map was completely useless.
Thunderhawk fires a hot-melt missile, and the massive heat melts through the collapsed rock, revealing a hole that leads to the core of the underground lair.
As the group approached the hole, Thunderhawk descended into the air, and Karen Val, dressed in Iron Rider Terminator armor, and three of his honorary guards leapt through the hatch in their abdomen. Cui Yifei parked her tactical machine in front of the entrance of the cave, and when she looked into the hole, there was only darkness.
Based on previous intelligence, the united front knew that there were still humans captured by the BETA in the lair, and they were imprisoned, waiting for the fighters to save them.
With the Storm Squad as the spearhead, the tactical squadron entered the lower layer of the BETA's lair in turn, and soon, they started an encounter with the BETA involved in the lair, the passage in the lair is very complicated, and every turn may meet the BETA head-on, and the fighters who enter the lair continue to squeeze the BETA's activity space, cleaning up the BETA in the lair little by little.
Finally, after forcibly blowing up a passageway, the cleanup team meets the humans who had been captured by the BETA. Karen Val gripped the tactical assault gun in his hand, and in front of him were rows of cocoons he had seen on the moon, encased captured brains and spines.
Karen Val raised her assault gun to the cocoons, silently apologized and then offered them mercy.
"Wait a minute," a voice came from the loudspeaker of a tactical aircraft, "you have that kind of equipment that can sustain life, right, we're willing to ......"
Before she could finish, the assault gun spewed out tongues of fire, which tore through the cocoon that wrapped around the brain, destroying the entire biological device.
"They are no longer saved, we have seen such people on the moon, and no matter how advanced technology is, it can't save people whose souls have dissipated." Karen Val said ruthlessly.
Everyone fell silent, and only echoes of Karen Val's words were heard in the lair.
"Go ahead, we're going to find the Mind Level" and the cleanup team went on to clear the entire lair, and no one spoke for the next hour.
Finally, at the bottom of the nest, the cleanup team saw a large, blue-glowing ovoid organism, the brain-level.
Everyone aimed their weapons at the giant egg in front of them, and then a sound came from all directions, and everyone else felt harsh, but Karenval and his guards heard the voice of the oil guy, "Why are you with these minerals against me, the tool of the Creator?" ”
"Tools of the Creator!" Karen Val stared at the Mind Level, he couldn't resist the desire to fire, but in order to obtain more important information, he resisted the desire to destroy and waited for the Mind Level to continue.
"The signals and genetic codes on your body prove that you belong to the Creators' manufacturing sequence, but they are different from the tools we have."
"yes, I don't think so" Karen Val's assault gun barrel began to turn, followed by a loud roar echoing through the lower layers of the lair.
Before being torn to shreds by the bomb, the Mind Class still said in its emotionless voice, "The next level of unit is waiting at Mining Site E01. ”
Karen Val put away his tactical assault gun and announced the end to the soldiers who were fighting with him.
The brain-level of the Chongqing Lair is completely dead, and the Beta to which he belongs has also been completely wiped out, and the Beta threat of humans south of the Yangtze River has been eliminated.
After the last gunshot in the lair, the campaign of Chongqing, launched by the expeditionary force and the united front, ended.
From 5 September to 21 September, the entire battle lasted 16 days, consumed 20,000 tons of artillery shells, 16,000 plasma bombs, 10,381 casualties of the counterattack column, 230 tactical aircraft were damaged, and nearly 65 percent of the defenders were killed or wounded, and the 130,000 square kilometers of land with Chongqing as the center could not be recovered within 30 years.
Although the losses were so huge, the results were also huge, the entire territory south of the Yangtze River was recaptured by the united front, 99.98% of the beta in the region was wiped out or forced to retreat, and the Chongqing lair was completely destroyed and could not be regenerated.
On 1 October, the United Front restored its original name in Nanking and arrested the reactionaries. With the help of the Ash Expeditionary Force, they stabilized the Yangtze defense line and began reconstruction work on the coastal areas.
On October 5, CN signed an agreement with the Expeditionary Force to join the United Nations Government, and obtained the technical support of the Expeditionary Force.
In the same year, after Western countries demanded technology sharing to no avail, the multinational group led by the United States imposed economic and technological sanctions on CN, and only the Soviet Union still maintained its original attitude.
Back at the end of the Battle of Chongqing, Company Commander Karen Val was reporting to Horus.
"How's it going?" Horus sat in his chair and asked Karen Val, who had followed the attack before.
"There is no doubt that their determination is quite strong, and I believe that they are the most promising group of people on this planet, of course, there are still some scum, but they are very good compared to other forces." After speaking, Karen pondered for a moment, "My lord, about the information I mentioned......"
Horus sat up straight and said solemnly: "I will take care of this matter, but you have to keep it strictly secret, how many people know about it?" ”
"It's just me and my three bodyguards."
Horus breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that you are the only ones who know, otherwise it will cause huge political trouble and a crisis of confidence." Karen, this is top-secret information, you know. ”
"Of course, I'll ask my guards to erase this memory."
"No, I mean keep it secret, don't leave any written information." Horus dismissed this idea.
Erasing memories, a common tactic used by his father and the Human Empire, Horus did not want to be like them.
"Get ready fighters, you come and drive, let's go to KS. It's time to unravel the riddle of the aliens. ”
