Chapter five hundred and eighty-eighth 17.7 billion big business
In General Val's opinion, the manpower of Fortress M23 is really too small. If the more than 500 refugees were there before, there would be a glimmer of hope, because the standard number of people for this fort is 300. General Val arranged
More than 500 refugees took into account the fact that there would be casualties in the process of recapturing the fortress.
Now, there are only more than a hundred refugees in Fortress M23, which is unable to cope with a front line that can be handled by three hundred people. What's more, these more than one hundred people are still untrained refugees.
Of course, not all of them were untrained. General Val found that at least more than thirty people in this group of refugees were proficient in using various weapons and knew how to cooperate with each other in tactics. It was obvious that they were retired soldiers.
But no matter what, Val firmly believed that the fall of Fortress M23 would happen sooner or later.
At this moment, the situation has become more and more urgent, because a large number of armored giant cockroaches have swarmed to the bottom of the steel city wall, and many armored giant cockroaches have begun to climb up in a stacked manner.
At stake!
At this time, the refugees in Fortress M23 began to adjust their tactics. They began to rely on the commanding heights to shoot the armored giant cockroaches in a targeted manner, mainly targeting those armored giant cockroaches that were stacked on top of each other, causing them to collapse.
At the same time, refugees holding hyperfrequency magnetic blades began to appear on the city walls to join the battle. As long as there was danger somewhere, they would rush over as soon as possible.
The fighting became more and more fierce.
Iron-clad giant cockroaches began to climb up the city wall. When they climbed up the city wall, they were immediately hunted mercilessly by the overclocked magnetic blades. However, there were too many of them, and there were still many fish that slipped through the net.
After jumping into the yard, the refugees also began to suffer casualties.
A fierce battle broke out in the courtyard.
Only at this moment did General Val understand the significance of those steel plate awnings.
The refugees in the yard were hiding under the steel awning, so that the armored giant cockroaches that jumped from the city wall could not attack them. Moreover, the height of the steel plate awning happened to be lower than the height of the armored giant cockroach lifting its scythe forelimbs.
, and the attack method of the armored giant cockroach is mainly to chop from above to below. With the iron plate awning, it can effectively resist the close attack of the armored giant cockroach.
Under the cover of the iron canopy, the refugees in the yard were in groups of three, crossing each other. This tactic was simple and effective. They were always on the move. As soon as a giant armored cockroach appeared in the sky, they would immediately hide under the steel plate.
Under the awning, wait for the armored giant cockroach to land before making a sneak attack.
The battle was in full swing. Although a large number of armored giant cockroaches poured into the yard, they never took the initiative from beginning to end. In fact, they were unable to assemble into an effective battle formation.
The killing at the commanding heights where the snipers were was also extremely brutal. Densely packed armored giant cockroaches were climbing up. However, those hedgehog-like iron pillars caused them huge trouble. Not only did they lose their speed advantage, but also
They cannot climb up in an attacking posture because those hedgehog-like iron pillars force them to expose their most vulnerable abdomen to the refugees.
The snipers did not pay attention to the steady stream of armored giant cockroaches climbing up. They were still concentrating on shooting the tide of armored giant cockroaches in the distance, preventing them from effectively gathering.
The three armed with overclocked magnetic blades were responsible for killing those armored giant cockroaches that had climbed to the commanding heights. Facing the ferocious killing power of the overclocked magnetic blades, the armored giant cockroaches with their fragile abdomens exposed were vulnerable. They climbed up and fell immediately.
He was hit by the overfrequency magnetic shock blade, and then fell down like raindrops.
The fallen armored giant cockroach caused a lot of trouble to the armored giant cockroach climbing below. Often when a armored giant cockroach falls, it will knock down a group of armored giant cockroaches...
…
A dozen snipers on the roof of Fortress M23 provide fire support for several commanding heights in danger. Of course, they have not forgotten the refugees who are fighting bloody battles in the yard. Once an unstoppable situation occurs, they will immediately attack
It will attack remotely and reduce the pressure on the refugees in the yard.
Val's face showed surprise.
genius!
Definitely a military genius!
Val discovered that the seemingly chaotic battle was actually very orderly. Each unit was an individual combat unit, but in fact they were always responding to each other. If there was a crisis at any commanding height, firepower from all directions would provide support.
It is obvious that there is a military genius directing this battle. His strategic layout and grasp of tactics have reached the pinnacle, and every detail is under his control.
Val discovered that even in this situation of shortage of manpower and isolation, each combat unit did not fight alone. They responded to each other from a distance and were always able to obtain fire support and avert danger when they were in desperate situations.
General Val believed that as long as the armored giant cockroaches invaded the courtyard of Fortress M23, the fortress would fall immediately, but things obviously did not develop as he imagined.
From the beginning to the end, the armored giant cockroaches did not organize an effective attack. They lost speed, and they always failed to keep up with the follow-up troops when they attacked, because the snipers on the commanding heights would interrupt the armored giant cockroaches' follow-up with precise strikes.
force.
From beginning to end, the battle in the courtyard was orderly.
The refugees have suffered casualties, but the casualties have not affected their will to fight at all. Moreover, they even have substitutes. When a certain team fights for too long, a substitute team will take their place to rest...
…
More than two hours have passed, and the battle at Fortress M23 shows no sign of stopping. It is still in full swing. Moreover, there is no chaos in the fighting of the refugees. All the fighting combinations are in order, and every refugee looks very special.
Calm down and not falling into hysterical madness.
Outside.
The armored giant cockroaches in the wilderness have completely lost their speed advantage. Although they rush to charge towards the M23 fortress, the steel wire ropes pulling on the wilderness have become their nightmare. The result of their charge is that some armored giant cockroaches are turned upside down.
In the face of the huge impact, his limbs were cut off by wire ropes, which was terrible to watch.
Four hours have passed and the fighting continues.
The refugees still stood their ground and refused to give in.
Everyone knows that as long as they give in, they will be immediately overwhelmed by the giant armored cockroaches, and not even the bones and scum will be left.
In fact, at this moment, the refugees no longer have their own thoughts. They are like killing machines executing Zhou Sen's orders. They do whatever Zhou Sen tells them to do.
If there were still refugees who doubted Zhou Sen's ability at the beginning, no one doubted it now, because they were still alive. In fact, when the overwhelming iron-clad giant cockroaches all over the mountains and plains rushed over, they thought they would not live long, but
The fact is that they not only survived, but also killed the giant armored cockroach to pieces.
Every refugee firmly believes that as long as they persist, victory will belong to them.
The efforts of the refugees paid off. At the fourth and a half hour, the armored giant cockroach abandoned thousands of corpses and retreated. As quickly as they came, they left even faster.
For the armored giant cockroach, Fortress M23 is invincible.
What makes General Val feel incredible is that the M23 Fortress did not stop fighting because the armored giant cockroach army retreated. In addition to constantly sniping and killing the lone armored giant cockroach from the commanding heights, they actually sent a team of twenty people.
The small team pursued the victory in the direction where the armored giant cockroach was retreating.
The refugees used the multifunctional engineering vehicle. Twenty people drove the engineering vehicle to chase hundreds of thousands of armored giant cockroaches, and kept shooting at the defeated armored giant cockroaches.
Looking at the incredible scene in front of them, even the expression on the face of the well-informed General Val was petrified. This is incredible. If more than a hundred of them repelled the attack of more than 100,000 armored giant cockroaches, they created
Miracle, then, it is unreasonable for twenty people to drive a simple engineering machine to chase hundreds of thousands of armored giant cockroaches.
Unreasonable things are happening.
Twenty people riding on the engineering vehicle actually pursued them for seven kilometers, but the one hundred thousand armored giant cockroaches were completely defeated, completely losing their will to fight, and fled frantically, leaving behind countless corpses of the same kind.
The engineering vehicle pursued the vehicle in the wilderness for more than two hours before returning without any casualties.
After the project returned, they immediately went into intensive reinforcement. They re-tied the steel wire ropes that had been damaged by the armored giant cockroaches and put some of the corpses of the armored giant cockroaches into the antimatter incinerator.
It is worth mentioning here that antimatter incinerators have become popular now, especially on some planets where giant armored cockroaches are active. Antimatter incinerators are a must-have strategic material, because it is troublesome to deal with a large number of armored giant cockroach corpses.
thing, and the antimatter incinerator is undoubtedly a powerful tool for disposing of the corpses of armored giant cockroaches and war debris.
Of course, not all the corpses of the armored giant cockroaches were disposed of. The refugees took out all the meat from the sickle-like pliers of the armored giant cockroaches. At first, Majiaxiang relied on the meat of the armored giant cockroaches to survive the difficulties.
After that time, humans have included the armored giant cockroach in their diet. In barbecue stalls on many planets, there is even meat from the armored giant cockroach, and the price is very expensive.
In the early hours of the morning, the refugees who had finished all their work held a barbecue party in the yard to celebrate their victory, and the ingredients were the tender meat from the claws of the armored giant cockroach. The tender meat was as delicious as the hairy crabs from the ancient earth...
…
Zhou Sen did not attend the barbecue party, but stood at the window watching the reveling refugees below.
Victory!
But the price of victory was very high.
One hundred and seventy-seven people.
Thirty-seven people died and 19 were injured.
In other words, the number of people has been reduced by almost one-third. The only thing that makes Zhou Sen happy is that the injuries of the nineteen injured refugees are not serious, at least they do not need care.
In the eyes of the outside world, such a high-intensity and high-intensity battle to reduce one-third of the number of troops was simply a stroke of luck. After all, this was a war with no chance of winning. What they faced were more than 100,000 armored giant cockroaches.
Army, but the M23 Fortress has created a miracle, not only repelling the armored giant cockroach, but also reducing its number by less than one-third. This record is enough to shock the five star regions.
However, this is not what Zhou Sen wants.
Zhou Sen doesn't want anyone to die. If possible, it would be best if no one dies. Hope is just hope after all. Zhou Sen knows very well that it is impossible not to die. He can only try to kill as few people as possible.
"Team leader, they are willing to spend one billion imperial coins." The communications expert with gauze wrapped around his arm walked beside Zhou Sen with an excited look on his face.
"Tell them that we have just repelled the attack of 100,000 armored giant cockroaches. There are 140 of us. In addition to the pensions of the 37 people who just sacrificed, based on the commission of 100 million per person, we need 100 million.
Seventy-seven billion! If they agree, we will set off to Zheli City immediately!" Zhou Sen said.
"One hundred and seventy-seven billion..." The communications expert was shocked from ear to ear. In his opinion, one billion imperial coins was already an astronomical figure.
"Yes, don't miss a penny. Ask immediately. I want to know the answer now! If it works, it will work. If it doesn't work, it won't work. I don't like bargaining!" Zhou Sen said every word.
"Yeah, I'll go right away!" The communications expert felt excited and ran away quickly.
Three minutes later, the communications expert came back.
"They agreed, they agreed!" The communications expert yelled as he ran all the way, his face extremely excited.
Zhou Sen nodded and said nothing. All this was expected, because the residents on this planet are either rich or noble. If there is a large group of people waiting for rescue, it should not be difficult to collect billions or tens of billions. After all, life and
Compared with money, life is more important. Of course, Zhou Sen didn't consider anyone's ability to pay at all. He just wanted to find an excuse to go to Zheri Market.
Only by going to Zheri City could he have a chance to leave this damn planet. If he stayed in Fortress M23, it would mean that he would not be able to leave this planet in a short time.
"Team leader, go down and have something to eat. Brothers want you to go!" The deputy team leader walked in, with endless admiration in his eyes. In fact, now it is not just the deputy team leader, but all the refugees.
They are all convinced of Zhou Sen. This young man's brain is like a super computer, and every detail will not be missed.
"Yeah. Let's go down together!" Zhou Sen nodded to the communications expert beside him, "By the way, deputy team leader, ask all the brothers on the sentry post to come down and eat."
"Ah...this..."
"It's okay, everyone is tired, just relax, it'll be fine."
"Oh well."
…
A few minutes later, all the snipers on duty at the commanding heights came down, and the M23 fortress became an undefended military fortress. However, no one was worried at all, because just a few hours ago, they had already defeated the armored giant cockroach army.
They were so killed that they abandoned their armor and fled, making it impossible to organize an effective attack in a short period of time.
