Chapter 150: Heavy losses
On the outskirts of the city, under the leadership of Mayor Ike's assistant, the army has been assembled again, tens of thousands of soldiers are on standby, and tanks and fighter planes have entered combat mode, waiting for the first onslaught of the sandworms.
In the sky above the army, there are also a few mechs waiting in the air, they are the main team in this battle, if the sandworms break through their first line of defense, then they will appear to stabilize the battle, if the conditions allow, they will kill the sandworms outside the city, do not let the sandworms enter the city to destroy.
As for the city, when most people learned that there were monsters heading towards the city, they immediately followed the advice of the guards and hid in the nearest shelter, of course, there were also those who were able to leave the city at the first time, and were watching this show from high in the sky at this time, as for the life and death of those people in the city, what does it have to do with them? As long as it doesn't affect their direct interests, it doesn't matter how many civilians die, anyway, as long as their assets are still in their hands, there will be a steady stream of labor to do things for them and help them mine, you know, the current universe, there is no shortage of people at all, especially the poor.
In addition to these two kinds of people, there are some reasons that think that they are human beings, robbing the living space that originally belonged to the sandworms, coupled with the large-scale mining of Rickto Star minerals over the years, the sandworms have lost their food source, and they are forced to leave the ground and come to the surface, in order to find revenge from humans, and their claim is that what sandworms want is just an apology from humans, so they believe that everyone should take the initiative to stand up and sincerely apologize to the native creatures of Rickato, as long as the sincerity is enough, Sandworms won't do anything to them.
Looking at the brainless protesters on the big screen, Fried looked at the people in the spaceship with a puzzled face: "You humans are like this...... Well...... Is it kind? ”
"Don't pay attention to these people." Scar patted Fried's tentacles and said earnestly, "You see, it's not just humans, there are still many other races in this parade, but humans account for a relatively large proportion." ”
"I'm surprised, they've been living on Rickto for so long, don't they know what they're here to survive?" Wood looked at the big screen and said, "Not to mention that this thing is not a bullshit native creature, even if it is a native creature, can't they see the danger of this thing?" What an apology for balabala, I'm really full and have nothing to do, I'm sorry. ”
"Normally, intelligent beings will pursue some spiritual satisfaction after satisfying their basic life needs, and these people are probably satisfied in this way." Lin Lin said with a smile, he knew that there would be such a person, a group of things that were supported by others.
After discussing the group of marchers who had nothing to do for a while, Lin Lin cut the scene back to the battlefield, and instead of looking at a group of useless guys who could only call, it was better to see how the battle was going.
……
At this point, the sandworms were still some way from the defensive line, but the battle had already begun.
In the camp tent behind the front, the commander looked at the huge figure on the horizon and gave an order: "All tanks, rocket battalions, and artillery battalions should immediately attack the target, and the bombers in the air should not stop bombing, and we will try to keep it outside the front line and not let it come to us alive." ”
Suddenly, the tanks on the battlefield immediately launched a ground-washing bombardment against the sandworms in the distance, and the rocket battalion and artillery battalion were not far behind, and one shell after another flew towards the sandworms.
Beside the sandworm, mushroom clouds appeared, which were missiles dropped by bombers in the air.
'Boom! ’
The surface of the sandworm's body exploded, and the green juice seeped out of the wound, and the ground caused a puff of black smoke, and the sand that came into contact with the juice turned into glass in an instant.
In the face of such a bombardment, the sandworm seemed to be hurt, and suddenly its speed increased again, in its thoughts, as long as it reached the center of the crowd, then they would not dare to use this weapon against themselves.
Then, the sandworm advanced at a high speed under the attack of artillery fire, even if the number of shells hit the body doubled, it still could not reduce its speed, and in just two minutes, the insecticide rushed to the front of the position not far away.
Immediately afterwards, the sandworms took advantage of the fact that they no longer dared to use the cannonballs, and launched a violent impact, instantly knocking the army's first line of defense open, and suddenly, a huge gap appeared in the defense line.
"Commander! In the impact of the monster just now, most of the personnel of the first and second regiments lost their ability to fight. ”
The commander looked at the front line with a deep heart, they were all soldiers they had spent a lot of money to cultivate, each of them was worth a fortune, but under this level of battle, it was directly disintegrated.
"Three regiments and four regiments are connected!" The commander closed his eyes and gave the order, as for those mechs in the sky, he didn't have enough authority to only fight them, and even if he was given permission, those people wouldn't listen to him.
After hearing the order, the soldiers of the 3rd and 4th regiments immediately filled the position of their wounded comrades, raised their automatic rifles in their hands and fired at the sandworms.
Dense bullets poured on the sandworm's body, and the bullet easily penetrated the sandworm's skin, but the sandworm's body was too large, even if it was hit by countless bullets, the sandworm would not have any dryness, and, because it was transformed by the force to which Camo belonged, the sandworm's recovery ability was extremely strong, and the bullet that entered its body was squeezed out in a very short time, and the wound healed quickly, as if it had not been hit by the bullet.
However, it cannot be said that their attacks are ineffective, although they cannot cause any substantial damage to the sandworms, but at least they succeed in arousing the ferocity of the sandworms.
'Roar! ’
The sandworm roared angrily in the sky, the countless eyes on the head suddenly became blood-red, and the movement speed became faster, not only did not put the bullet in his eyes, but also broke through the second line of defense formed by the army with the bullet in his hand, what steel bunker was not worth mentioning under the crushing of the sandworm, and the only effect was to leave some inconsequential marks on the sandworm's body, which was caused by the sandworm's crushing.
After breaking through the second line of defense, the sandworm's movements became significantly faster, and in just an instant, it devoured dozens of soldiers, as well as countless soldiers who were crushed to death by the huge body of the sandworm, and for a while, the defense line was in chaos.
Seeing this scene, the commander looked sad, snatched the wireless walkie-talkie from the adjutant's hand, hesitated for a moment, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and said word by word: "If you launch a rocket again, you must not let it enter the city." ”
"What? Commander, there are a lot of our soldiers there, and if you use rockets, they will be affected as well. ”
"There's no time for us to hesitate, if we lose it again, this thing will enter the city, and the damage will be even worse, and besides, there will be our family and our friends in the city." The commander said solemnly, of course he also knows what it will become with rockets, but he has no way, if he wants to keep the city, he must sacrifice these soldiers, not to mention, the mecha in the sky has not made any moves until now, it is obvious that he wants to see their soldiers suffer heavy casualties.
They're just trying to strike when everyone is desperate!
The commander looked at the mechs in the air with hatred in his eyes, if his eyes could kill, those mechas would have exploded thousands of times, but no, the mecha was still suspended in the air, and only the soldiers were constantly losing, or being devoured by sandworms, or crushed to death by sandworms.
"Commander, the rockets are ready, please ...... Give the order. The adjutant looked at the commander with tears in his eyes, and he was eager to hear the order from the commander to cancel the rocket fire.
The adjutant is not a resident of Rictor, he was just sent here by the Alliance, however, although the adjutant does not know the native residents of Ricktor, these soldiers are all grown up by him, it is impossible to say that there is no emotion at all, at this moment, the grief in his heart is no less than that of the commander, but he also knows that from the perspective of military law, if they retreat, it will be an escape, and after the war, they will be brought to a military court and be tried, even if the trial is put aside, these soldiers will not choose to take half a step back, Because behind them, where they have always lived, everything about them is here.
"Launch." The commander said solemnly, and at the same time turned on the portable computer, contacted Mayor Ike, and said straight to the point: "Mayor, we are about to lose sight, you tell those guys in the sky, if they don't make a move, I will truthfully report everything that happened here, including the video of them not participating in the battle, and I will immediately lead my soldiers out of the battlefield, we can no longer continue to suffer losses." ”33
Mayor Ike on the other side heard the commander's serious voice, and was silent for a while, Mayor Ike said: "I know, I will ask them to take action, but I still hope that you and your soldiers can continue to hold their posts and don't let this thing in, you have been fighting it for so long, you must also know what will happen if it enters the city." ”
"I knew that when it entered the city, it would only end up in ruins, with corpses and blood all over the ground." The commander watched the rockets explode around the sandworms, bringing damage to the sandworms while also taking away countless injured soldiers who had a chance to survive, the commander said in a deep voice to the portable computer: "But that has nothing to do with us, I don't want to see my soldiers die anymore, just in the few seconds I talked to you, dozens of elites we cultivated left this world." ”
……
On the other side, in the mecha team, a voice rang out: "Big Brother Bloo, it's time for us to make a move, their people have died so much." ”
"Take it easy, Ziyu, if we go to war now, how can we still seem important? Heroes are the last to appear. ”
"But ......"
"Okay, that's it, I'm the captain, listen to me."
Some people died, but not completely......
