Just now, while conducting a fire attack on the biological barrier of the samurai bugs, and witnessing the entire process of Captain Ironblood killing the samurai bugs, Tanya couldn't help but sigh:
"So strong!"
And deep down in her heart, she was comparing the Iron-blooded Captain with the Astartes, trying to guess how powerful the Astartes would be.
Even though I have watched many battle videos, the live action is always more shocking and intimidating than the so-called video courses and video files.
"Gah..." At this time, the Iron-Blooded Company Commander had returned to the front and ordered: "Take over the cover and retreat to the 2nd Armored Company's position."
"Yes, sir!"
After regaining their composure, Tanya and others responded in unison, and then took over the cover and retreated toward the southwest.
In conjunction with the frigate's continuous fire strikes, the insect sea wave opened a distance of about two kilometers from them, so there was no need to worry about being swallowed up or submerged for the time being.
At this moment, nearly a hundred "shooting stars" flashed across the sky, but Tanya, Celestine and the others, who were anxious to retreat, had no intention of paying attention to what was happening above.
Not long after, with the increase in endurance and speed provided by the power armor, and a scout responsible for carrying the piggyback pilot, the group finally arrived at the outskirts of Oliveland Town, and at the same time arrived at the station set up by the 2nd Armored Company.
Line of defense.
Here, the 2nd Company has used all its resources, including five siege tanks with plasma cannon mode, fourteen armored personnel carriers with pulse and Gauss cannons, and missile launchers, as well as numerous warts.
An off-road vehicle derived from the Pig.
In view of the small number of combat personnel of the 2nd Company, four-fifths of the 3rd Infantry Company, with a total of 500 people, was deployed on the southwest defense line.
There are a total of tens of thousands of police officers, and the most elite special teams and experienced police officers are arranged here to cooperate with the UNSC to resist the incoming wave of insects.
When the 1st Reconnaissance Company and the intern sisters were escorting the Intelligence Department personnel to the rainforest, Zack Redfield had already proposed that the mayor of Oliveland Town release the gate and temporarily cut off the connection between the town's underground system and
Contact with the outside world.
Despite this, more than a hundred soldiers of the 3rd Infantry Company and some special teams went deep into the underground system and placed a large number of plasma bombs at major connection points.
If the bugs break through the gate, they will detonate plasma bombs to delay as much time as possible.
However, according to the frigates parked in low-Earth orbit and responsible for providing support, as well as the scanning results of low-intelligent artificial intelligence, it is shown that the insect wave that is about to ravage the town of Oliveland is mostly concentrated on the surface of the rainforest southeast of the town.
There are many insect nests in Tyroker, and this unknown insect race has also focused their targets on urban areas. It can be said that the entire planet is like a hornet's nest, suffering attacks from an unknown number of insects.
As for Tanya, Celestine and the others, who had already arrived at the front and came to the back of an armored personnel carrier to obtain ammunition supplies, they didn't know whether their superiors would apply for support from the nearest legion battalion, but one thing they knew was that as much as possible,
Rearrange equipment and weapons, and then continue fighting.
"Boom! Boom!"
The siege tanks began bombarding the distant surface long before they arrived at the position.
"Peng~!Peng~!"
At this time, the hundreds of "meteors" that had not been paid attention to before also started a temporary suspension position to buffer, and adopted a non-attack soft landing.
Hearing the noise, Tanya picked up two pulse pistols, attached them to her lower back, picked up the corresponding ammunition, and then leaned out to look at the front of the armored vehicle.
It turns out that the "Meteor" that made the soft landing was a man-made airborne landing capsule that left the frigate and passed through the atmosphere.
"Click~!"
Wearing hell paratrooper-style power armor and holding a laser micro-attack, the paratroopers jumped out of the airborne cabin as soon as the door popped open and rushed to the designated location according to the order.
The Hell Paratrooper designation was withdrawn due to the comprehensive reform of the Auxiliary Army, and the old weapons and equipment were inherited by the airborne divisions of the UNSC.
The number of paratroopers who rushed to the defense line first was not large, only a few hundred, but this was enough to improve the morale of all personnel.
After all, the spirit and slogans of the Hell Paratroopers were also inherited by the Airborne Division, making each of the Airborne Troops represent the pinnacle of "mortal" existence.
To be continued.
Tanya, Celestine and the others left the armored vehicle and came to the semi-open bunker on the right side. Together with the Ironblood Captain and the remaining scouts, they looked eastward.
"Boom...Boom..." The earth was shaking.
"Huh...ha..." The sound of breathing was clearly audible.
Within the visual field of view, in addition to the dense woods outside the defense line, there are also naval gun trajectories and artillery regiments that sometimes pierce the night sky, which are the airdrops that follow, like meteors.
However, the holographic screen and helmet screen completed the locking through the dense forest in front, showing dense red boxes, helping everyone complete the locking.
"Everyone!"
At this time, the elite captain who was also stationed on the defense line here gave a pre-war sermon on the communication channel:
"A group of disgusting and dirty bugs came to our planet at some unknown time, and now they want to invade our hometown! So tell me, what is your answer?!"
"Kill all the bastards! Sir!" Tanya and the others responded loudly and hoarsely.
"Hahaha! Yes! What we want is this spirit, to kill the group of bastards in front of us who dare to invade our planet and behave more like thieves than other Zerg races!
"
"yes!
"
The words were followed by a salvo of gunfire.
The humans, who had shooting calibration and assistance, launched the first round of offensive even though they couldn't see any enemies.
The warheads and shells destroyed all the trees along the way, and when the trees fell down with smoke, the visual field suddenly became brighter.
Moreover, a vast wave composed of "bone white" and "dark purple" also vaguely appeared in the field of vision.
The cannon-fodder bugs who rush to the front are extremely fast running speeds and have high agility, but they are positioned to take advantage of the sea of bugs to eliminate all enemies. Each one of them is shot into a sieve by the dense barrage, or exploded in all directions.
All.
Various styles of caseless pulse shells and pulse artillery shells are powerful weapons for dealing with enemies who like to gather in groups, and can be regarded as "horizontal" killing.
On the other hand, the caliber of the spike and magnetic nail shells are smaller than those of the pulse series. Due to their extremely fast speed and strong penetrating power, they can easily penetrate many soldiers and bugs. They will only stop attacking when they encounter the samurai bugs with biological barriers. They are
It is "vertical" killing.
The plasma cannon of the siege tank, combined with the laser micro-ramming of the airborne troops, can not only cause "horizontal" and "vertical" damage, but can also effectively attack biological barriers.
The moment when the two sides started to fight.
The human side has an absolute advantage. Moreover, since the bugs emerged from the ground, the frigates have continued to bomb...
Having orbital control is indeed unsolvable in any war, especially since the Sea of Insects is located in an uninhabited land.
Not only that, four one-time large-scale airdrop silos began to spray buffers in stages. After they were only a hundred meters away from the ground, they crashed directly into the sea of insects, causing a certain amount of damage and completing a hard landing.
"Click~!"
The four-petal warehouse door bounced around, smashing and crushing several soldier bugs that tried to surround them, but this also exposed the "passengers" of the airdrop warehouse directly to the forefront of the wave of bugs.
but…
If you look closely, these "passengers" are seven meters tall, with a rough overall style but balanced proportions. They are Cyclops-derived mechas, equipped with a stance generator, a beam matrix device and two pairs of mechanical arms.
.
"Boom~!
"
The moment the four hundred-armed giants waited for the airdrop pod to bounce away, they released a burst of stance impact similar to a psychic impact, tearing apart and shattering all the smaller soldiers and insects.
Only the warrior bugs surrounding it survived.
Immediately afterwards, among all the mechanical arms of these four hundred-armed giants, one pair was used to hold the 100mm Gauss cannon equipped with ammunition chains and ammunition back boxes, while the other pair of seemingly diamond-shaped mechanical arms stretched upward.
, and then flashed with a blue light...
"Ri~!" The light became more and more dazzling.
"Bah~!" Four frames, four pairs, a total of eight rhombus-shaped robotic arms are connected in series with beams.
"Hugh~!" Finally, the hundred-armed giant standing at the front released a horizontal beam.
"Stab it!
"
After the series of beams, it can easily cut through the barrier and body of a samurai insect, and the force continues to move forward without any slowdown.
If you look down from the sky, you will only feel that the matrix beam formed in an inverted "V" shape is like an extremely sharp razor, "harvesting" in the mountain of insects.
However, the matrix beam could not be maintained, and finally dissipated when it clashed with the biological barriers of numerous samurai insects.
but…
"Woohoo~!
"
Even so, the "harvest" scene created by the four hundred-armed giants still made everyone, including Tanya, unable to help but shout loudly.
The navy has money. This is a fact recognized by all military departments except the Umbrella Corps.
As a derivative of the One-Eyed Titan, the Hundred-Armed Titan not only inherited all the advantages, but also added a beam tandem device developed by Administrator Civilization Technology.
Of course, the order price for the Hundred-Armed Giant is also ridiculously expensive, one unit is equivalent to twelve siege tanks.
In times of peace and stability that are not wars, almost all branches of the military are unhappy, or rather envious of the "surplus" and "rich" navy. Even the Marine Corps, which operates with the naval fleet, is the same.
But when it comes to war, such as now when multiple services are cooperating and facing the invasion of unknown Zerg, the soldiers only want the navy to come up with more good things.
Human morale is greatly boosted.
On the other hand, the bugs still "went their own way" without any fear, and even made targeted changes based on mankind's existing defense arrangements.
They no longer looked like the initial insect swarm, but transformed into twenty to forty soldier bugs. Together with one warrior bug, they formed a "squad" and tried to stay as far away from other "squads" as possible to avoid being concentrated by frigates and armored battalions.
Fire bombing.
As for the slow-moving, obese, bloated plasma bugs that can shoot biological cannons, there are at least a hundred soldier bugs gathered around each one. There are also four warrior bugs who actively deploy biological barriers to protect the plasma bugs from humans.
The defense line launches remote attacks.
Moreover, the bugs ended their blind recklessness and rushed forward, starting to form tens of thousands of "squads" to try to outflank and encircle the town of Oliveland.
At this time, a squadron of carrier-based aircraft first escorted transport aircraft and transport boats to unload more than 800 Marines to the front line, and then began to bombard the insect tide indiscriminately.
The speed and flexibility of the carrier-based aircraft are not a living target like the 3rd Battalion Aviation Company. The biological artillery regiments and bone spurs fired by the plasma bugs and soldier bugs cannot truly intercept them at all.
Within a short while, all the aerial bombs were fired. And don't forget, this squadron is part of the Navy, so it is naturally "rich" and carries a total of sixteen anti-matter bombs.
Adjusting the annihilation reaction equivalent of 2 grams of positive and antimatter to the maximum, these sixteen air-to-ground missiles stood out and landed in the core area of the insect tide one after another...
Ri~Hugh!
The annihilation reaction immediately lit up the entire area, like daylight.
“Boom!
"
Deafening explosions and fierce shock waves followed, erasing more than 90% of the bugs at once, and the scale was sharply reduced from hundreds of millions to millions.
The carrier-based aircraft squadron that completed the escort and bomb-dropping missions changed its angle, quickly took off, and quickly returned to the frigate in low-Earth orbit.
"Huh~——!
"
Air waves swept to the surface.
This caused Tanya, who had not closed her helmet, to have her wavy golden hair swaying in the wind. At the same time, the smoke and dust also made her involuntarily narrow her eyes.
Wait for the aftermath to dissipate.
Tanya waved her left hand in front of her face, opened her eyes and looked out, and saw that the originally dense and humid rainforest was completely destroyed and flattened this time.
The insect wave that wanted to invade Oliveland Town was almost destroyed by the naval offensive, and it seemed that it could not make any waves.
"Ahem!" The elite captain joked through the communication: "As expected of the navy, it really has a lot of good things hidden. If our army also has anti-matter bombs, who will get their turn?"
After teasing, he changed the topic and ordered: "Forget it! Now is not the time to engage in internal strife. Since the Navy has helped us have a bug barbecue, then we also have to have a stir-fried bug!"
Come with me!
"
The words have not yet fallen.
Tanya saw the elite captain leading the way, and took out the "sword hilt" that was awarded to their clan when they reached adulthood. She flicked her hands, causing the two hilts to generate slender, thin, double-edged energy that emitted blue light.
position.
"Roar!
"The elite army followed closely behind, each one throwing out a double-edged energy sword.
"Gah...how can we let them steal the limelight!" Captain Ironblood also quickly rushed out of the bunker.
"Hahaha!
"
Tanya, who had thoroughly adapted to the battlefield environment, laughed the loudest. She attached the flamethrower behind her, took off two pulse pistols, followed the Iron-Blooded Captain, and shouted in battle:
“Let’s rock! The Battle Sisters are here!
"
Throughout the battle, it seemed that the human side had the absolute upper hand.
