443 First round attack
Zhong Mingzhao ordered that the entire base immediately acted quickly and in an orderly manner according to the original arrangement.
The warships closed the hatch doors, roared their engines, and began to assemble behind the defense wall. The soldiers responsible for the defense of the base rushed to their respective defense nodes...
Because of the preview, despite the rapid arrival of Zergs, the human defenders barely completed the arrangement before the first wave of insect tide arrived.
Outside the towering defensive wall are turrets transformed from old warships, with various weapons specifications, and are full of plunderers who are hostage.
Zhong Mingzhao gave them a death order, and once their firepower interruption time exceeds the regulations, the bomb placed in their ship would be detonated at any time.
These wreck fire points were stored with sufficient ammunition and food supplies, and specially equipped with external armor, and all the exits were blocked. Unless the battle was won, they would not think of it. People must be in the position.
Behind the shipwreck turret, it is the official defense line of the human coalition, that is, the super defense wall named [New Great Wall].
This spectacular walled building has been completed at this time, but there are still a large number of lifting arms on the top, completing the final capping work.
That's right, even when the insect tide came, the engineer soldiers located on the top of the wall did not retreat into the fortifications.
On the one hand, it is because of their sacrificing qualities, and on the other hand, the shield of the defensive wall has been put into use, which can temporarily ensure construction safety.
Behind the new Great Wall is the giant square in the center of the base. The temporary buildings of the base are located on the mountains on both sides. All the refugees who have not yet been evacuated are placed in it. Those who have already boarded the ship set out with the fleet and plan to leave the base before the fire exchange begins and sail to the north.
It is worth mentioning that the fleet formation in the No. 3 combat plan is very unique.
At this time, the fleets on the base square were not arranged in circles from the inside out like the battle group, but were very strangely arranged into a large "field" shape.
The entire wide base square is divided into 4 areas by the warships. The warships forming the outer "mouth" shape are tightly leaning against the hard foot of the mountain, and all muzzles are pointed towards the central open space.
The central fleet forming the "cross" shape is all composed of anti-gravity warships of the First Legion and is ready for battle.
Five minutes passed in a flash, and the Zerg that was attacking from the desert arrived at the strike range in the direction of the shipwreck as scheduled.
These plunderers who came from the inland north had never seen the Zerg in their lives. At this time, facing the tide of insects sweeping over, they were so scared that their faces turned pale and collapsed on the ground.
However, there were also cruel people among the plunderers. While they were greeting Zhong Mingzhao's family loudly, they roared and opened fire at the insects.
The sparse shells fell into the surging insect tide. Although the fire was still fierce, they were immediately destroyed by more insects.
The endless vibration caused by the zombie jumping was clearly transmitted to the feet of the raiders through the earth, making their already weak legs unable to stand.
They collapsed and wanted to open the ship's cabin door, but then they were frightened to remember that the door had been welded from the outside, and even an additional layer of armor plate was buckled on the door panel.
Faced with the cruel reality, some plunderers endure patience, while others collapse and give up, and the combat power they show is naturally incomparable.
Zhong Mingzhao, located on the mothership bridge, looked at all this coldly and said indifferently:
"Provide fire support and tactical guidance to those raiders who have begun to counterattack, issue an ultimatum to those who have no movement, and if you haven't responded, you will be directly assigned to the self-destruction group and detonate at the right time."
"I understand." The staff member next to him nodded.
"Have the implementation of Plan No. 3?"
"The fleet formation participating in the battle has been in place, and the other squadrons have also withdrawn from the base from the back door, the transport fleet has set sail, and the scheduled combat area has been cleared, and the combat can be started."
Zhong Mingzhao looked at the increasingly larger reading in front of him and nodded slightly, "Prepare to start, by the way, let that guy Wang Fei find out the invisible bugs and don't let them cause trouble for the defense."
"Yes, commander."
...
Soon, the time was approaching the expected arrival of the tunnel worms. The first fleet surrounding the No. 3 Plan was on high alert, and all the weapons on the ship were aimed at the four divided open spaces.
As time passed, all the people on the ground warships clearly felt the vibration from their feet, as if something was about to break out of the ground.
"He's coming, prepare for the battle, and fire immediately after the target appears!"
Zhong Mingzhao grabbed the handrail beside him, and his sharp eyes stared at the screen in front of him.
Suddenly, a loud bang sounded, and a huge tunnel worm broke out from the ground and stopped until the entire mouth was poked out.
"Area No. 2, a tunnel insect, No. 004, No. 007, No. 009, the main gun fired!"
The combat staff in the cic immediately issued an order and fired the fleet with its muzzle prepared at once. A violent fire flashed. Then the tunnel worm that had not had time to open its mouth was directly shot and paralyzed to the ground.
"The shooting results are confirmed, the target has been paralyzed, and the ship No. 005, 008, and 010 will immediately launch a supplementary shooting!"
At this moment, the second tunnel worm broke out from the ground, followed by the second and the third...
For a time, the commands in the CIC were conveying one after another, and more and more warships were involved in strangling tunnel insects, striving not to put a tunnel insect out to transport the Zerg troops.
The originally solemn central square of the base was immediately filled with fire barrage, but what is interesting is that when you look down from the hairy crab in the air, you will find that all the firepower is concentrated from all around to the center.
Although the artillery fire was dense, it seemed orderly, and there was no chaos in the formation of Zergs, and there was almost no accidental injury to friendly forces.
This is Zhong Mingzhao's arrangement. Since the fleet was attacked by tunnel insects in the last battle, resulting in a chaos in the formation. He learned from his mistakes and decided to use the terrain of the base to make a game for the Zerg.
He first investigated the geological conditions of the surrounding mountains in detail, and concluded that it was difficult for tunnel worms to dig through, and then bet all his eyes on the sandy square in the center of the base.
The soft sand is very convenient for tunnel worm excavation and is an ideal raid path.
For this reason, Zhong Mingzhao asked someone to make a batch of giant steel nails with barbs, and began to surround the edge of the square and penetrate into the ground one by one.
Although the coalition forces did not have time to harden the ground, it was still easier to insert some steel nails into the sand.
These steel nails are generally more than 10 meters long, and the thinnest diameter is one meter. The barbing structure makes it difficult to be pushed out from the ground, and it can be said to be inserted firmly.
In this way, the tunnel worm can only find places without steel nails to make holes, otherwise no matter how strong the mouthpart is, it cannot chew the dense and intricate steel nails.
This hit Zhong Mingzhao's thoughts. Since the tunnel insects need to take a specific route, the fleet can freely strangle the tunnel insects that broke in and attacked.
The shooting world that has been planned by each other will not cause accidental injuries between friendly forces, which is also the reason why the tunnel insects are beaten up by the fleet as soon as they appear.
Because everything has been planned, if the Zerg wants to win, they have to come up with some fresh things.
Sure enough, not long after, I found that the attack was blocked by the unknown worm, and immediately changed my strategy.
She first delayed the opportunity to break through the remaining tunnel insects and launched an attack at the same time when the time was right; then ordered the invisible troops to attack the fleet and create a breakthrough for the tunnel insects.
Unfortunately, a protective umbrella called the Hairy Crab was floating above the fleet's head. The invisible magnetic storm sentry had already taken action, and the laser rain of the Hairy Crab came down, killing one magnetic storm sentry after another.
The worm queen took advantage of the small opportunity he had won to decisively order the tunnel insects to attack. This time, eight tunnel insects broke out at the same time and spit out a large number of poisonous explosive insects before being torn apart by artillery fire.
The poisonous explosion worm is mutated by jumping insects. The whole body is a terrifying strong acid bomb, which has a very strong effect on metal armor.
As soon as these poisonous explosion insects emerged, they were immediately concentrated by firepower around them, and they burst into a pool of green water with white smoke.
The surviving poisonous worms also rushed towards the nearest ship with firepower, with the goal of forming a "cross" shape in the center of the formation.
But these poisonous worms obviously did not expect that their target would fly.
In order to prevent the formation from being distracted, Zhong Mingzhao caused losses to the fleet in the center, he deliberately left the anti-gravity warship in the center of the formation. At this time, he was besieged by the poisonous worms and immediately floated away from the ground where the poisonous worms were raging.
A group of poisonous worms roared unwillingly, and finally they could only be easily blown up, and they didn't even explode the root hair. As well as the nearly twenty tunnel insects that had lost, they were simply a loss of blood.
The tentative attack in the first round was considered better than the human side.
However, the insect queen didn't seem to care, and even did not even have an intermission break, she started the second round of fortifications.
And this round of offensive is undoubtedly fatal to the human coalition.
"Commander, the transport fleet that had just left sent an urgent report that they were besieged by the Zerg who suddenly appeared, and now they are in danger!"
Inside the bridge, Zhong Mingzhao's face immediately changed.
The Zerg is around the back!
This was his thought for a moment.
The Zerg had been in stagnant for so long. In addition to re-allocating troops and digging underground attack channels, they also used this period to conduct large-scale roundabout maneuvers.
The Gate of Hell is undoubtedly the best way for Zerg to go north, but it is not the only one.
As long as the Zerg can make up their minds, if it is a little more troublesome, it will still suddenly appear behind the base, just a matter of the number.
The transport fleet has quite a few escort ships. What can make them anxious can only show that the Zerg is really fierce this time and has put in a lot of effort to surround humans.
Now it is no longer a question of whether the transport fleet can be rescued, but a crisis of the base's rear path being cut off.
"Wang Fei, if you go there, you must not let the Zerg cut off our retreat!"
Zhong Mingzhao connected with Wang Fei and ordered seriously.
"Of course I'm fine, but the Zerg seems to have already set his sights on me, which is a bit difficult..."
Wang Fei pointed to the screen with some embarrassment. Zhong Mingzhao looked over and then saw an attacking team composed of thousands of adult roaring dragons, and rushed towards the base with thunder.
This insect queen is so powerful that she can summon so many roaring dragons!
Chapter completed!
