Chapter 89: Lost Contact (6)
After the UT-886 drone shot the Yu-732, it continued to hover over the battlefield according to the preset trajectory, and at the same time, its fire control radar locked on a slightly larger and slightly strange "alien worm" that swept from the front at high speed, this strange "alien worm" seemed to have not learned the previous lesson, and directly crossed the flight trajectory of the UT-886, as if it was deliberately trying to cause a collision accident in the air, which meant that the jade was burning.
This kind of excellent shooting opportunity, how can the artificial intelligence system of the UT-886 UAV miss it?!
"Knock knock!" The 60 mm caliber kinetic energy cannon of the UT-886 opened fire without hesitation, and a total of 12 energy shells fired from four bursts and smashed straight towards the strange "alien worm" that was approaching at high speed, and the strange "alien worm" flew up and down slightly clumsily, which could dodge the nine kinetic artillery shells in front, but failed to dodge the three rounds behind.
"Puff puff!"
The three-fired cannonball accurately hit the target, tearing the slightly larger monster "Alien Worm" to pieces in the air.
"Hit!"
"Well done!"
The members of the "kitchen knife" team on the hill witnessed this scene and all cheered.
Unexpectedly, when UT-886, which continued to fly in a preset orbit, quickly swept through the wreckage of the disintegrating "alien bug" in the air, the frog-1011 hidden in the wreckage flew out like lightning, and with a flick of the whip tail, most of the left wing of the UT-886 was cut off.
Black smoke rose from UT-886, tumbling headlong into the ground.
"Well done!" Baron "Cricket" had a hint of pride at the corners of his mouth, and he had no wavering of his heart for the death-732, because he knew that there was almost nothing irreplaceable except for the Queen of the Worms, not even herself.
"What?!" The members of the "kitchen knife" team on the hill were stunned, and when they looked closely, they found that what was hit was actually a "predator insect" that was carried into the air, and the black four-winged insect that directed this scene was still flapping its wings and suspended in the air, unscathed.
"Alright, their aerial firepower is gone," Baron "Cricket" said with a slight lightheartedness, "Pass the order, let the children retreat five kilometers, and we will reorganize the attack!"
A black four-winged mantis-446 led the way, and soon flew up to a height of ten kilometers from the hill.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak,......" Mantis-446 began to sing, not loud, but it could penetrate the dense gunfire and spread far and wide in the sinkhole, so that everyone in this area at the bottom of the sinkhole could hear it very clearly.
As soon as the song fell, the countless insects that were still besieging the small hill with all their might in the last second retreated rapidly like the ebb tide of the river and the sea, and the circular area with the small hill as the center and a radius of five kilometers suddenly became empty, leaving only three or four thousand insect corpses on and off the mountain.
This change puzzled the "kitchen knife" team, and even thought it was a hallucination for a while.
"Bugs want to retreat?" HE-8 wondered.
"No!" replied Lothar, "I think the bugs are regrouping their attack." ”
"Lothar's guess is very correct," Craig's eyes widened and swept around, his gaze finally focused on the two four-winged insects of Fly-1011 and Mantis-446 in the sky, "I guess the bugs have gained air supremacy and are now preparing a more violent attack, so the real trouble is next." ”
"Detective, what's next?" HE-8 said worriedly.
"Fort tactics, hold on!" Craig replied, "How soon will our reinforcements arrive?"
"About seven hours to go, Detective. Lothar replied.
"Lieutenant Colonel HE, you count the casualties and the ammunition base. Craig ordered.
"Yes!"
Soon, the casualties and ammunition base were reported by Lieutenant Colonel HE: two soldiers in the armor were slightly injured and died, two beasts were slightly injured, and one beast King Kong was slightly injured and died, three machines were damaged to varying degrees and were destroyed, all drones were destroyed, and there were still 0.85 base ammunition.
"There's not enough ammo," Craig said, "and everybody save money, it's only two hours to get full, and then ......."
Craig didn't go on, but everyone knew very well that in the hours between the bullet and the arrival of the reinforcements, everyone could only fight the insects hand-to-hand, or wait for death.
Baron "Cricket" ordered the recall of Fly-1011 and Mantis-446 and began planning a new attack.
"Now, we have eliminated their air power and mastered air supremacy," Baron "Cricket" was a little complacent, "I believe you have just seen the tactics adopted by Fly-1011, it is not a complete 'two-in-one' combination drop tactic; the correct way is to fly at a suitable altitude with the Scouts, and then put our Scouts safely on the hill, let the Scouts rush and kill, disrupt the enemy's position, and achieve the effect of 'Blossoming in the Center', that is complete." 2-in-1 'combo delivery tactics. ”
"This bell drop tactic is often implemented when our side lacks air power such as the 'Hive' mothership, and it has also been implemented in other defense areas, and I heard that the effect is quite good, so this time I plan to learn from it here, and use it as a real combat exercise. ”
The brigadiers and knight captains buzzed their wings in understanding.
"Captain of the Knight-7342 Cricket!" Baron "Cricket" began to "Point General".
"Subordinates!" a black four-winged insect flew in front of Baron "Cricket", and the head of this insect also grew red horns more than a foot long.
"You lead your brigade of knights and carry out a 'two-in-one' or 'all-in-one' combination of casts on the hill," Baron "Cricket" ordered, "give you a quarter of an hour to gather your men and horses and start doing it as soon as the ground assault begins." ”
"Understood!" Cockroach-7342 commanded, and flew towards the front line hive of the active volcano, where it would gather its "Flying Knights" brigade - a thousand four-winged insects.
"Brigadier-638!" Baron "Cricket" said by name again.
"The subordinates are here!" another black four-winged insect flew in.
"You're in charge of commanding the ground forces east of the hill," Baron "Cricket" ordered, "Attack in ten minutes!"
"Understood!"
"Bug-865 Brigadier!"
"In!"
......
On the hill, the "kitchen knife" team was lined up, listening carefully to Craig's final defensive arrangements.
"Lieutenant Colonel HE, you take all your men and take care of the defense of the northern slope. Craig ordered.
"Yes, Inspector!" HE-8 replied.
"Your northern slope is the only access point from the foot of the mountain, and it should be the main attack direction of the land insect, so I need you to set up at least two lines of defense. Craig advised.
"Understood!"
"Lothar, your ten men are defending the east, south, and west sides of the hill," Craig said sideways.
"Understood!" said Lothar.
"Ma Dong!" Craig turned to look at one of the armored warriors.
"Yes!" Ma Dong replied.
"You take four men as the 1st Mobile Unit to assist Lieutenant Colonel HE in defending the North Slope. Craig said.
"Yes!"
"Li Jiabiao. Craig looked at the other Colonized Warrior.
"Yes!"
"You take three men as the second mobile unit to assist Colonel Lothar in defending the three directions of the hill. ”
"Yes!" Li Jiabiao replied.
"As for the 'Air Force' on the other side, I will be personally responsible," Craig finally said, "Please rest assured!"
"General, are you sure you can carry the 'Flying Worm' troops on the other side alone?" HE-8 said with concern, "I can assign one or two people to assist you, our machine King Kong's eighty mm kinetic cannon is still very effective as ground anti-aircraft firepower. ”
"Hehe, thank you, Lieutenant Colonel HE," Craig said, "I said no problem, no problem, but to be on the safe side, I took your suggestion, you can appoint a robot to keep an eye on me at all times, and if something happens to me, he can always fill in the holes in the defensive line." ”
"Good!"
Standing in the line, Lothar took a deep look at Craig, he had heard a lot of rumors about high-ranking armor warriors in the "Horn Legion", such as that they could escape the gravity of the planet without the need for anti-gravity devices to fly in the sky, or evolve two or four wings on genetically derived armor like aliens to fly in the air, but Lothar has never had the opportunity to witness it with his own eyes and join the "kitchen knife" Before the team was dispatched to Area 837, he learned from the military briefing that the leader was a high-ranking armored soldier, and he was looking forward to seeing it.
"Could it be that I can fulfill my wish today?" Lothar's eyes burned.
When Planet 5 orbits to a certain position and cannot completely block the light of the mossy star towards Planet 6, Green Star 6 ends the "polar night" state and ushers in the long-lost dawn.
Baron "Cricket", who was closing his eyes in the sky, opened his compound eyes, and when he turned his head sideways, he saw a hint of fish belly white in the skyline, and the crimson "moonlight" was long gone.
"I almost forgot, last night was the last night of the 'Polar Night'......" Baron "Cricket" muttered with a hint of vitality on his face, "The tiresome long night is finally over, I hope it's a good sign!"
