Chapter 407: Indiscriminate Bombing
The cockroaches made full use of their firepower advantage and bombarded the New Ludong army. The banelings flew across the sky one by one, smashing into the positions as if they were free, corroding all the creatures and equipment they touched, causing great casualties to the New Ludong army.
The cockroaches fired and sprinted at the same time. As the distance approached, the accuracy of the catapults was constantly improving. The banelings crashed into the crowd more accurately, smashing into armored vehicles and giant robots, making the New Ludong base miserable. They could only try to stretch the front line and evacuate the soldiers, but they could not spread out too far, otherwise the swarm would be able to penetrate their front line with a charge.
Under the continuous bombing of the catapults, the only means of counterattack that the New Ludong army could use were the anti-gravity aircraft, helicopters, and anti-tank missiles of the assault reconnaissance ship in the sky.
This type of missile is the only way to restrain the cockroach catapults. If the cockroaches are hit by these missiles, they can still survive, but the catapults on their backs will not be spared and will be reduced to ashes in the fire and explosion together with the two soldiers.
The flying dragons flew over the cockroach catapults, continuously launching blade insects to detonate these anti-tank missiles, destroying the densely packed missiles, reducing the chance of the cockroaches being hit by anti-tank missiles. As for the fish that slipped through the net, the cockroaches can only rely on themselves to resist.
Because cockroaches are not good at dodging, they can only rely on their bodies to resist the supersonic anti-tank missile attack. There is no other way.
In this situation, Wang Jin's cockroaches suffered a lot of losses. Fortunately, he took the initiative to attack the New Ludong Base by surprise and eliminated the artillery and missile positions of the New Ludong Base. Otherwise, the cockroaches would face even greater troubles.
However, Wang Jin had enough catapults, but the anti-tank missiles of the New Ludong Air Force were limited. After destroying more than 800 catapults and killing more than 300 cockroaches, they used up all their anti-tank missiles and could only stare at the remaining 2,000 catapults.
"We must retreat. This battle can no longer be fought." Lin Yan had a sad face. Every time the explosion caused by the falling of the poisonous blasting insects made the face of this old man over 50 years old twitch, and his heart was bleeding with pain.
These soldiers and equipment are the most elite and sophisticated in the New Ludong base. Now they are dying so worthlessly under the corrosion of strong acid in the bombing. What's more helpless is that you can only take the beating and can't fight back. The soldiers can only find a place to hide and pray that the poisonous blasting insects will not fall on their heads.
This is a great blow to morale. The morale of the New Ludong army has dropped to the bottom and has begun to riot. If no solution is found, whether it will eventually turn into a mass escape, no one dares to guarantee it.
"Retreat, I'm not willing to accept this. We came all the way here, and we were blown away by a swarm of people. I..."
Long Jingtian's face was ashen. When he heard Lin Yan's words, all the resentment and hatred in his heart burst out, and his eyes were red as if they were about to bleed.
"Old Long, you must remember that you are a soldier. You must put the overall situation first and never act on impulse." Lin Yan shouted. Although he was unwilling, he would not let his soldiers die in vain under such circumstances.
"Hey! Retreat." Long Jingtian seemed to have aged ten years in an instant, and his back hunched slightly. Long Jingtian knew that Lin Yan was right. In such a situation, retreat was the only choice.
If the battle continued, the army that was bombed by the poisonous worms and had no power to fight back would probably not be able to support it for long and would collapse and flee. At that time, this army would be finished and would definitely be gradually eaten away by Wang Jin. Long Jingtian could not bear the responsibility of this sinner.
When the order to retreat was issued, the soldiers of the New Ludong Army had only expressions of joy on their faces. They were fed up with being bombed without the ability to fight back. It was not that they did not want to launch a charge, but the other side had a catapult composed of two thousand heavy artillery. If they charged, I am afraid no one would be confident that they could run this distance.
"What did you say! Ah! Speak louder, I can't hear clearly." A platoon leader watched the messenger's mouth move up and down, but he could not hear any sound in his ears. In the continuous and huge explosions of the poisonous explosive insects, many soldiers saved their lives, but their eardrums were temporarily deafened in the loud explosions. It is still unclear whether they can recover in the future.
The messenger also saw such a person, so he quickly took out a retreat notice from his hand and asked the platoon leader to check it.
"Retreat, okay, I will organize the soldiers immediately." The platoon leader was overjoyed and ran out of the trench, rolling and crawling. He was about to find a subordinate who survived the bombing, when suddenly a poisonous explosive insect fell and landed not far away.
In the terrified eyes of the platoon leader and the messenger, the bloated body of the Baneling that landed twisted and burst, releasing the internal pressure.
Bang!
The green strong acid exploded, covering a radius of dozens of meters. More than a dozen soldiers screamed and turned into bones under the corrosion of the strong acid. The two armored vehicles were corroded and pitted, completely losing their function.
The platoon leader and the messenger were on the edge of the Baneling explosion. Only a few strong acids splashed over. Because of the angle, they were all blocked by the messenger, and turned into a pile of blood in the screaming corrosion.
Because of the human sandbag, the platoon leader was lucky enough to save his life. Before the platoon leader could celebrate, a roar like a tsunami suddenly came from afar.
Turning his head, he saw a swarm of insects suddenly charging and rushing towards the position. The flying dragons in the sky also flapped their wings and whistled towards the anti-gravity aircraft.
"Not good!" The platoon leader's face changed drastically. The swarm of insects launched a charge at this time, which was just the key point of the retreat of the new Ludong army. If they continued to retreat, with the swarm of insects chasing them, they might turn from an orderly retreat to a disorderly defeat.
If they chose to fight, it meant that they had to continue to endure the bombing of the catapults and resist the charge of the swarm of insects. This was a dilemma.
The platoon leader knew the seriousness of the matter, and he ran to organize his soldiers and asked them to prepare for the battle. Whether they were running away or retreating now, close combat with the swarm of insects was essential.
"Take advantage of your illness to kill you!" Looking at the new Ludong army that became panicked when they found the swarm of insects charging, Wang Jin laughed coldly. Since he wanted to establish his authority, how could Wang Jin let this army go easily?
The Xinludong base, which was organizing the withdrawal, was in turmoil. Wang Jin's sudden insect swarm charge caught the Xinludong base off guard again. Long Jingtian helplessly discovered that Wang Jin seemed to have predicted every step of his. Of course, Long Jingtian didn't know that Wang Jin had the magical creatures of surveillance parasites ejected by the queen.
On the ground where the Xinludong army was currently located, Wang Jin had already used the queen to spread hundreds of surveillance parasites invisible to the naked eye, so it was difficult for Wang Jin to hide every move of the Xinludong base from his eyes.
