The 219th Chapter Night Battle (2)

Fighting at night, no matter what period, no matter which country, is probably one of the important issues for their army!

If there is a choice, I am afraid that not many people are really willing to fight at night, even if they have the most advanced technology, the best radar or identification friend or foe system, or the best night combat equipment.

After all, even the best weapons and equipment are used by humans, and at night, when the light is insufficient, especially in the case of melee, it is difficult for the technical and tactical performance of weapons to be fully utilized, and it also has a certain impact on the psychological state of combatants. It is also easy to accidentally hit or cause confusion when the enemy and the enemy are unknown. Sometimes, they must be timid even to shoot, right?

At this time, the humans on the Hope are about to usher in their first large-scale night battle mode. Their opponents are the indigenous bugs that attacked them on a large scale when they landed on the first day before. they!

Due to the early warning from Little Annie, most of the current Marine Corps members of the base have gathered in Area C where there is still an open space in the JNO.3 planetary ground base.

In addition to the hundreds of marines who are still in charge of guarding the surrounding area of ​​the base in case of accidents, hundreds of other people, including Galen's Cobra elite team and the team that Darius was on duty before, have all been dispatched at this time Came to this area and conducted front-line command work.

Now, these marines, after occupying a favorable terrain, have surrounded the entire area C in their encirclement.

In the two lines of defense, weapons and ammunition boxes of various types of shotguns, electromagnetic rifles, and sniper rifles were transported by SCVs and randomly piled up in various places on the line of defense.

They even brought in a lot of large-caliber automatic sentry guns. After rough welding and installation, they have all been set up.

At the rear of the defense line, in the open space in front of the main base, those ten... no, it should be nine freshly baked tank units, and they are all lined up in a neat row in the open space, and they are in siege mode. They are aiming the muzzles of their 120mm shock guns at the C area where the bugs are about to appear.

In fact, the original intention of the design of this siege tank was to be finalized as a defensive cannon of the "final line of defense", so they finally adopted two forms to form the final version: one is mobile and attacking Assault mode, and the other is the unfolded siege mode.

The preparation work is up to now. In addition to switching the siege mode, they have also adjusted the shooting elements of all positions in the C area. As long as the commander of the base command center gives the order, they can attack the swarms that appear in the C area at any time. Covering bombardment will definitely let those indigenous bugs have a good taste of the horror of the large-caliber artillery produced by human technology!

Now,

These people, whether they are SCV engineers or marines, are waiting in full battle. Because of the early warning of the ghost agent Major Anne, almost all of them have gathered here, the guns are loaded, the muzzles are preheated, and they are ready to go. Prepare for the coming swarms.

At this time, in the base, almost most of the high-power searchlights almost concentrated their beams here, insisting that this place be illuminated as if it were daytime.

"Engineering Exploration Team, please answer when you hear it! How is the investigation going now? Have you found anything special under the ground in Area C?"

In the command center of the base, as the commander-in-chief, after deploying the defense of all the troops, she immediately deployed several SCV engineering vehicles to let them closely monitor the geological conditions under the ground in Area C.

So, after finishing the defense, Doug is working with a group of command center personnel in this small command hall on the second floor of the command center. Think of those SCV engineers who have been working for a while.

Because now, in area C, besides a large group of marines surrounding the central area, there are also several SCV engineering vehicles operating some strange instruments in this large piece of gravel flat ground. , hovering and dragging their equipment, shuttled back and forth non-stop.

"Report to Commander Doug! After the initial detection by our instruments: at a distance of about 120 meters underground, a huge oblique hole appeared! Moreover, this hole is almost heading towards Area C at a speed of five meters per minute. Spread, after about fifteen minutes, this area of ​​Area C will collapse due to the load-bearing problem of the ground!"

Soon, with the efforts of the engineers of several SCV engineering vehicles, they used their prospecting equipment to easily detect the geological conditions under the ground.

So, after exchanging opinions with each other, the few of them quickly reported to Commander Doug at the base.

At the same time, they also indicated a small red area on the map of Area C, and uploaded the detected geological map to the command center of the base.

"Your Excellency Commander, this is the area that may collapse loudly. Excuse me, do you have any other orders?"

After uploading the map, the group of engineers driving the SCV asked.

It is now obvious that under Area C, it must be that kind of strange bug playing tricks! In more than ten minutes, this place will become a battlefield, and they don't have any weapons, and they don't want to stay here in a dangerous battlefield. If they are not careful, it will be fatal!

"There is nothing for you now, but you still have to continue to monitor the situation underground on the periphery, and closely monitor the movements of the bugs, so there must be no mistakes!"

Seeing the huge hole that the bug might make on the map, Doug couldn't help frowning.

Then, Doug thought about it for a while, and she began to analyze the 3D geological graphics uploaded by SCV engineers.

She looked at the huge area on the map that was about to collapse, marked with a red graphic, and then thought about it, and began to operate on the holographic map, cutting the entire map in half at once, and began to seriously Observe the section view of the collapsed area.

Is this... dug up obliquely from a distance?

So, if this is the case, did those bugs dig here from the other side of the sea? Or was it originally dug directly from the ground to the ground?

If it's the former, it's okay; but if it's the latter, it's a bit scary to think carefully...

If they originally lived underground, and then dug up directly from below, it proves that they must have a huge underground world underground? !

In that case, how many are there on this planet?

Moreover, since they can accurately know that there is a large enough open space in Area C of their base for them to dig up, it proves that the other party is an organized and premeditated act? !

They worms, not only have been observing this human base, but also led by a certain leader worm to carry out an organized sneak attack on their human base?

"..."

Although the previous research on those bugs by the Hope also showed this point, but they have always been lucky, trying to gain a foothold on this planet while resisting the attacks of the indigenous creatures on these planets, until They hope that the ship will get enough energy.

But now it seems... It seems that those bugs will not give them this time and opportunity? No, not long after, the second attack came again? And, still in this covert way?

If there was no early warning from that little girl, the bugs would surely succeed, right? She, Doug, can even imagine: If the human beings have no defenses, once those bugs swarm out of the collapsed tunnel, the base can be declared completely fallen, right?

Tsk! Forget it, this is the end of the matter, let's take a step forward! No matter what happens in the future, today, the humans in their ground base will never let those cunning and evil bugs break through Area C!

After thinking about it, Commander Doug quickly clicked on an information board. She planned to contact the two second lieutenant officers of the Marine Corps and ask them to coordinate and command the hundreds of Marine Corps in the two lines of defense in Area C. team members.

"Second Lieutenant Galen, and Second Lieutenant Darius! The two of you are responsible for commanding the frontline troops, and the tank troops are behind. When necessary, they will fully support you!"

Looking at the number and arrangement of soldiers, Doug shook his head helplessly. The time is too tight, and the bugs are pressing too fast. The heavy firepower of their base is still too little...

Now at the ground base, apart from a large group of marines, the heavy firepower of the entire base is only those ten tanks! I hope that the bugs emerging from the ground this time will not have that kind of huge monster again, right?

If there is such a huge monster, I don't know if the ten arc light tanks that have just come off the production line can deal with that huge monster with thick horny armor? Did they form an effective fighting force?

I hope...they can be relied on, right?

"Yes! Sir!"

"Yes, received, sir!"

After hearing the order from Commander Doug of the ground base, Galen and Darius responded immediately.

"Hurry up, hurry up! Everyone, cheer up and be vigilant!"

Galen walked to the left while shouting and urging the bewildered recruits.

"Check your weapons and equipment! Don't worry, those bugs, they don't have the means to attack from a long distance. As long as you maintain a continuous firepower output, don't let them jump in front of you!"

And Darius walked to the right, and the two of them quickly assigned their respective areas of responsibility.

"Pay attention to the topographic map sent to your panel, but don't stand in the area that is about to collapse! Otherwise, once you fall down and be torn apart by bugs, no one will be able to save you!"

After receiving the order, Galen and Darius began to shout loudly in the Marine Corps public channel.

While checking the situation of the team, the two of them carefully arranged the attack positions in all directions, adjusted the first encirclement circle, so that there would be no one on the opposite side of each other's attack formation, as well as those high and low levels. The collocation, as well as the arrangement of the reserve team and so on.

Fortunately, Area C is close to the base's periphery, so they don't need to deploy troops in the direction of the wall. If the bugs try to attack outside at that time, those dense bunkers with large-caliber machine guns will definitely teach them how to do it. bugs!

"Attention everyone, pay attention to the ammunition and weapon boxes next to you, and remember to replace weapons or replenish ammunition when necessary!"

Galen was still shouting loudly through the channel.

He had experience in fighting bugs, but he knew that since the other party dared to attack again, the number of them would definitely not be less than last time! Therefore, he had a hunch that those weapons and ammunition boxes prepared in advance would definitely come in handy.

Looking a hundred meters away, he took out the area that was about to collapse, illuminated by searchlights like daylight, and Galen knew that a big battle was coming soon!

I don't know how many monster bugs will appear this time? Hopefully, not too much, right?

"By the way, Galen? Where is little Annie? Why don't I seem to see her location?"

After making arrangements, Darius began to ask curiously.

Just now, after arranging the positions of the various Marines in the encirclement and the things that need to be paid attention to when firing, he suddenly discovered a little unexpectedly: he didn't seem to find Little Annie's on the map of identification friend or foe. That orange figure?

This made Darius feel a little strange. After all, when they were on guard before, Little Anne reminded the resting soldiers to stand up and prepare to fight. Lord, where is it?

Could it be that she is invisible again?

But... He has never heard of ghosts who are invisible, and they will disappear in the friend's friend or foe device, right? This made him very curious.

"Little Annie? How would I know? Come on, stop talking nonsense! See, Darius? The ground over there, they're starting to loosen!"

Galen, who was just about to say something, was about to call Annie, but his expression froze suddenly!

Because, he saw the collapsed area marked on the map in the distance, and the ground at that location really began to loosen.

"Attention everyone! Weapons loaded, ready to fight!"

Click!

After finishing speaking, Galen took the lead in loading the C-15 spiked electromagnetic rifle in his hand, raised the muzzle of the weapon, and aimed at the place that was illuminated by various searchlights like daylight, and was about to be dug and collapsed by insects. Area C is flat.

Fortunately, the base originally planned to build an engineering station, a scientific research station, and more heavy factories here, so the SCV engineers basically leveled it out there, and basically there are not many obstacles blocking the line of sight, which is very suitable for The covering strafing strike that their marines will conduct later.

Under precaution, Galen believed that they would definitely let those bugs know how powerful humans are!

Click! Click! Click!

Under the leadership of Galen, the sound of weapons being loaded suddenly sounded on the positions of the various marines. They squatted, stood upright, or lay behind various rock obstacles, letting them The muzzles of the electromagnetic rifles were aimed at the places where the bugs were about to appear.

Ka... Ka... Ka...

In area C of the ground base, the noisy voices of all the marines suddenly fell silent.

They squeezed the electromagnetic weapons of various models in their hands one by one, and aimed at the huge open space in front of them.

There, the rocky ground that was corroded by strong acid was full of holes, and there were large and small cracks just like glass shattering.

They knew that it was because the bottom of the ground had been hollowed out by those bug monsters, and now, after losing the lower load-bearing ground case, it had begun to be unable to bear its huge weight. About to start collapsing?

And then... Those terrifying bugs, big and small, are going to rush out of the ground in a frenzy, right?

fortunately! Their base strength, a powerful ghost agent gave them an early warning, otherwise, if these bugs really succeeded in sneak attacking and suddenly appeared in the base, I am afraid that all of them would be in their sleep and be killed by the bugs. Beheaded to death, right?

Kaka... Kaka...

The gaps and spread of the cracks on the ground are getting bigger and bigger...

"Everyone, pay attention..."

Seeing the cracks on the ground gradually widening, Galen couldn't help swallowing, and then began to dutifully cheer up the other marines who were still recruits loudly in the channel.

"Prepare……"

Seeing the ground gradually sinking while the cracks grew larger, all the marines subconsciously tensed up.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

There were three hoarse roars in a row, and then the monster that stunned everyone appeared: three giant earthworm-like monsters suddenly drilled out of the rock shell on the ground, and exposed their mouthfuls of multiple ferocious fangs .

This...what the hell kind of monster?

At this time, no one fired first, and even the two frontline commanders, Galen and Darius, were stunned. They just opened their mouths wide and looked at the three that suddenly came out of the ground. Giant earthworm? The new unit of the bugs appeared again? Originally, they thought that the huge mammoth-shaped monster was already the limit of their imagination...

Could it be that they are going to fight this terrifying monster this time?

However, to everyone's rejoicing, the three worms quickly shrank their heads back after they came out for a while.

It seems that they are only responsible for drilling holes to open the way, and have no plans to participate in today's battle?

boom! ! !

There was a huge roar, and after the huge earthworm-shaped worms shrank back, the ground finally couldn't bear its own huge weight, and after the worms hollowed out all the sand under it, it finally moved in bursts. Amidst the roar, it collapsed directly...

After the ground collapsed, a huge sloping hole finally appeared, and inside, there were those densely packed four-legged bugs!

"Everyone, fire!!!"

Da da da……

Seeing this, Galen's pupils shrank suddenly, and then he quickly reacted. While ordering all the staff to fire, he also immediately pulled the 8mm electromagnetic rifle in his hand and fired. It was the first shot of the human-worm night battle at the ground base tonight.

Da da da! Da da da! ! !

After hearing the order, all the marines directly pulled the triggers of their weapons in an instant. In an instant, countless violent metal storms, like a torrential rain, violently exploded at a super-high Mach speed. After rubbing the barrel and the air, it poured out towards the collapsed hole in the distance, like the mouth of a beast.

"Quick! Everyone, increase the firepower!"

In the public communication and battle command channels of the marines, the urgent voice of the frontline commander, Second Lieutenant Galen, was heard again.

In fact, the other marines have already seen those bugs without the reminder from him, the frontline commander.

Behind the dust formed by the collapse, under the searchlight beams, a large number of insects, densely packed insects, layer upon layer of insects, they are like the tide, against the falling mud, sand and stones that are still breaking and falling. Like life, he frantically passed through the huge sloping hole and rushed towards the ground...

Then, they were the first to crash into the attack of the marines who were pouring a large number of scorching spike bullets towards the huge hole a hundred meters away.

In an instant, the bodies of the bugs they charged at the front were ripped open with countless large and small wounds, and the red and green corrosive blood shot out violently, directly smashing the ground at the entrance of the cave. Give it a thick red-green tint...

Da da da! ! !

"Don't stop! Keep continuous fire output, pay attention to changing magazines at any time!"

At the same time, the two frontline commanders, Galen and Darius, also started firing loudly in the channel again.

There are more monster bugs than they expected? Don't those bugs engage in population planning? What do they usually eat? Is it possible to live by eating mud? Or, drink those strong acid seawater? Or photosynthesis?

Da da da! ! !

The gunshots were still ringing incessantly.

They passed through the sloping tunnel entrance, and they all saw the dense, tide-like sea of ​​insects. Just looking at it could make their eyelids twitch wildly.

This is at least in tens of thousands, right? There are so many bugs?

Da da da! ! !

Countless metal bullets, under the super-high acceleration of the electromagnetic weapon, continuously spewed out towards the slanted hole. Those bugs, there are so many of them, sometimes, even a single bullet can penetrate the bodies of several bugs at the same time, before rolling and barely losing kinetic energy.

boom! boom!

In addition to the intensive rifle fire of the marines, there were also one or two explosions near the entrance of the cave from time to time.

That was the anti-infantry spider mines that the marines deployed near the collapsed area before, and the number is estimated to be as many as a thousand.

At the beginning, they also complained that there were too many landmines, and once the battle was over, it would be too much trouble to clean them up?

However, now they can't wait to see why they didn't plant tens of thousands more mines? In that case, at least they can defend a little easier now, right?

Da da da……

The dense gunfire continued, of course, accompanied by the roar of those mines from time to time.

Countless bugs were either torn apart by bullets, or blasted away by the anti-personnel mines they stepped on and emptied out a small area, and then, that area would soon be given away by the sea of ​​insects. fill up...

At this moment, a thick layer of insect corpses had accumulated inside and outside the entrance of the crypt, and then, those insects, as if they were endless, pushed or jumped onto the bodies of their companions without hesitation. The corpse continued to charge desperately regardless.

They tried to use their numerical superiority to assault and break through the surrounding firepower of the Marines.

In fact, these intruders were able to predict their attack and prepare for it in advance. This really surprised the bug leader who was in charge of directing this operation in the rear. Big, but it can't shake their determination to wipe out all the invaders!

"Call the tanks! Call the tanks! How long are you going to wait? We need artillery support now! Now!!!"

After firing for less than two minutes, Darius and Galen felt that they were getting a little bit overwhelmed.

After all, after a long period of high-intensity firing, the magazines were changed one after another, and countless bullets were poured out as if they didn't need money. Whether it's Galen or Darius, in such a short period of time, the two of them have fired thousands of bullets respectively!

What they have in their hands is an electromagnetic rifle designed for individual shooting, not a machine gun or a warning gun designed for continuous shooting!

Under the high temperature generated by the bullets frantically rubbing against the barrel and the planet's air, the electromagnetic orbit of the rifle was ablated and heated extremely. It won't be long before the weapons in their hands will be the first to fail due to overload. of!

Under normal circumstances, during the civil wars between UL and humans, there were very few situations that required high-intensity uninterrupted firing of individual weapons.

Sometimes, after a large-scale battle, in a few days, an ordinary marine soldier can't even finish hundreds of rounds of bullets?

After all, the individual confrontation between human beings is often based on short bursts of fire, or the tactics of hiding and concealing after shooting for a while. It is rare to finish a bullet directly regardless of pressing the trigger like this now. Clamp situation! And those who do that are generally quickly killed by the enemy?

Therefore, in the past, the heat dissipation of the rifle was actually not a problem. The performance of this rifle, in the eyes of their UL designers, is considered excellent, and it is very in line with the needs of the human battlefield!

But now, the situation is a bit different. Those bugs, after being killed so many, have no intention of reducing their attack intensity? Still rushing out of that huge sloping cavern against the frenzied strafing of the Marines?

So, how many such bugs are there in their underground bug world?

Could it be that they are really like ants, endless, a group of hundreds of millions? !

"Where's the tank unit? We need artillery support! You fucking, fire!"

Da da da……

Darius also yelled loudly in the channel while desperately strafing in the direction of the swarm.

Those shit tank troops, they actually lost the chain at a critical moment? He knew that those bastards must be unreliable!

Da da da! ! !

The marines were still shooting non-stop, their muzzles ejected streaks of spike bullets and the flames produced by the friction of the planet's atmosphere, making those bright red pointed bullets continuously spin and shoot at the bugs and go.

In less than a minute, the bugs broke through the thousands of anti-personnel spider mines that had been laid in advance in the collapsed area. , There was no more sound of a landmine exploding.

And they, after paying tens of thousands of heavy casualties in the group, finally succeeded in advancing their front by a distance of tens of meters.

Now, they are about to handover with the marines. They believe that with their fangs and claws, they will be able to taste the sweet and warm blood of the humans who invaded their planet... …
