Xiao Jiang didn't care at all what dangers the surrounding troops encountered. Judging from his understanding of the situation, each troop immediately applied for airdrops of entertainment and living supplies after entering the assembly area, as if they would not be besieged by the Zerg in this area.
With the arrival of the airdrop box, Xiao Jiang asked the troops to immediately start laying alloy floors and defensive walls. At the same time, forty automatic machine guns were installed. Only twenty people were left to patrol and the rest began to take turns.
In the command post, Xiao Jiang looked at the constantly changing real-time battlefield information on the communication board. There were 600,000 troops totaling six armies that landed on the Big K planet this time. However, under the current situation, nearly 60% of the troops could not be contacted.
The news reported by the rest of the troops all suffered considerable losses. Only the 16th Brigade directly under the newly formed Sixth Army had no losses. The automatic statistics of Zerg kills reached 11,350. As for individuals,
Xiao Jiang's kill statistics are not the highest, but he ranks first in the number of tank bugs and plasma bugs killed, and he also ranks first in command excellence.
The federal army has a real-time data feedback system in its operations. This is an intelligent feedback mechanism that facilitates the calculation of military merits. The data is synthesized from the central computer in the command aircraft carrier, so in theory it is impossible to falsify it.
Xiao Jiang glanced at the accumulated military merit data and then looked at the data of the 3rd Assault Division. There were only 13 incomplete squadrons left out of the 80 squadrons of the 3rd Assault Division. All the officers were killed in action. The highest rank now is only a second lieutenant.
.
On the left, right and behind Xiao Jiang's troops were people from the Third Assault Division. At this time, the number of people left to count was less than 600. He shook his head and closed his eyes and began to rest. In less than half an hour, Ma, who was on duty,
Gretel woke Xiao Jiang up and said:
"The scouts report that nearly 50,000 Zerg are gathering right in front of us. The troops on the left and right have begun to withdraw. Should we also leave this area?"
Xiao Jiang shook his head and said:
"Behind us is the vast plain with no defense at all. Once we are overtaken, our unit's combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
At least I am here at the base, as well as automatic machine guns. I will continue to call the mothership to airdrop supplies and tell the commander-in-chief that we need to continue to hold on here. First, it is safer and it can also delay the retreating troops."
…
Thirteen minutes later, in the battle room of the command carrier, a blond girl with a good figure came to an old admiral with a communicator and said:
"General, the ground assembly area has been attacked by about 150,000 soldier bugs. The newly formed 16th Brigade has established a defense base and is fighting fiercely. They have eliminated nearly twenty tank bugs and ten plasma bugs. At the same time, they also attacked
Killed more than 15,000 soldiers and insects.
However, they could only block a frontal area of less than 500 meters. At this time, they were surrounded by nearly 100,000 soldiers and insects. They called for airdrops of weapons and ammunition supplies, hoping that we would increase the amount of airdrops."
The old man frowned while looking at the feedback data. Looking at the real-time data about the 16th Brigade in the data center, he took out a cigar, lit it and said:
"Arrange an airdrop immediately. This unit is really incredible. Remember to airdrop a live broadcast camera and ask the 16th Brigade to broadcast the entire battle live."
When the beauty went to give the order, the old man looked at a silver-haired major general with a sad face and said:
"General Kalman, there will definitely be great turmoil in the headquarters this time. It is initially estimated that 300,000 of us have died, and the statistics will be even more by dawn.
The entire army was crumbling, and only this 16th Brigade, which had no personnel, was able to confront the Zerg head-on and form a crushing situation. So far, not a single one of them had been sacrificed, and the number of Zerg killed was comparable to the results of several divisions.
Captain Xiao Jiang is like a military god from his command to his personal combat ability. It seems that we must protect him and promote him as a federal hero, otherwise those in the headquarters will only be able to destroy such a talent."
Major General Kalman nodded and said:
"Previously, the frontline commander forced his son Bamon to take over the sniper base in order to gain military merit for his son. However, now that both father and son have gone to hell to meet each other, Xiao Jiang will not be in any trouble for the time being.
However, if he survives this battle, he will definitely be squeezed out by certain forces. If you want to keep him, General, it is best for him to have certain authority and status, and to stay in a safe area for a period of time."
The old man said:
"Then he still needs to survive."
…
In the small defensive base at the assembly area, Xiao Jiang was smoking a cigarette leisurely at this time. At this time, waves of soldiers and insects rushed in from all directions. Because of their previous combat experience, the soldiers were not afraid at all and cooperated with each other.
It is becoming more and more perfect, and even the marksmanship is rapidly improving through continuous shooting.
Xiao Jiang wiped out all the tank bugs and plasma bugs. The main threat was the endless charging of soldier bugs. However, several supply boxes were airdropped from this small base in no time. The ammunition was very abundant, and many people had already destroyed it.
Several guns and even the body began to feel tired, but they were in good spirits and continued to fight.
Xiao Jiang's main task is to snipe and kill those insects that are too close, and at the same time observe the combat situation of the troops.
The high-intensity battle lasted for nearly an hour. The surrounding soldiers and insects continued to move around the base as if they knew the danger here. In the end, all the insects in this area took a detour and headed towards the evacuation direction of the rest of the troops.
Margaret held the camera and wandered around for a while, then smiled at Xiao Jiang and said:
"Commander, our base once again killed nearly 40,000 Zerg. I wonder what Commander has to say to the people of the Federation?"
Xiao Jiang secretly complained in his heart that Margaret asked according to the military draft. He said with a serious face:
"Second Lieutenant Margaret, you have also seen that these soldiers and insects with no intelligence actually bypassed us to attack other troops, indicating that they must have a highly intelligent commander. If we can kill that kind of commander, the insects
It's nothing to worry about.
As for telling the people, it is that with the army, the people can live in peace of mind. No matter how much we sacrifice, we must continue to fight to ensure that the people live and work in peace and contentment."
Margaret then asked:
"Why does the Major always snipe the tank bugs and plasma bugs first?"
Xiao Jiang lit a cigarette and blew out a smoke ring and said:
"Once the tank bug approaches the base, it will spit out flames with a temperature exceeding 2,000 degrees Celsius, and there will be no way to stay on the city wall. Once burned by the fire, the soldiers and automatic gun towers on the city wall will be useless.
Then the Zerg will rush into the base. With their huge numbers, how many of us here can survive?
So I set the tank bug to something that must be destroyed every time, otherwise our troop losses will be greater."
