510 Outpost Defense Battle (Part 2)
The Zerg's offensive kept slapping at the human defense line.
Since the sneak attack of corrupt and explosive mosquitoes was curbed, the Zergs did not feel defeated at all, and even launched a more fierce offensive, causing the pressure on humans to soar.
Now, the basis for human defense outposts is 4:
1. The relatively narrow tunnel forced the Zerg to attack in groups, ruining most of the mobility and numerical advantages, allowing humans to focus on deploying defense lines with limited troops;
2. The structure of the hub hall is relatively strong. So far, the Zerg has not been able to open a path from outside the tunnel, so that humans do not need to be attacked from both sides;
3. The human outpost has sufficient reserves and preparations, which has prevented many of the Zergs from using very useful attack methods, such as explosive mosquitoes that are restrained by sound waves, and air force fields that can block highly toxic spores;
4. The human outpost is full of stars, which can be called the peak assembly of human combat power. The Zerg is either just recovering or being teleported over. The troops are not yet perfect and cannot make targeted arrangements for human defense. The real finale players either appear or cannot pass due to their size;
Based on these four points, humans were able to hold on to the outpost and temporarily stabilize their position.
In the world of front-line defenders, time passes quickly, and the bugs that surge up make them dizzy and have no time to care about them;
In the world of outpost commanders, time passes very slowly. For them, every second they pass is astronomical ammunition consumption and variables that may appear at any time, and it feels like they live like a year.
In just two hours of fierce firefighting, the violent roar never stopped for more than 2 or 2 minutes. The imperial defenders in the outpost had experienced more than ten Zerg combination punches and fought with nearly 20 insects.
Although they were all safe and secure in the end, the price was that a total of 52 Imperial Army were injured and killed, nearly 100 equipment was damaged, more than one-tenth of ammunition was consumed, and a large amount of energy was lost for all officers and soldiers.
Even the highly trained imperial elites can't bear it in such a high intensity battle. Although the power armor has a boost system, it still consumes the wearer's physical strength, not to mention the stimulant injection at critical moments.
For this reason, the frontline Marines have changed for two rounds.
At the beginning, the bugs appeared from five tunnels at the same time. After the commander changed the reserve team, he could also draw from other tunnels without enemy situations. However, after one hour, bugs appeared in all 8 tunnels, which caused the directions that humans needed to defend to suddenly surge.
Now 2 hours later, except for the dead end leading to the planetary shield area, there are Zerg attacks in the other channels.
Except for the expedition team that has not yet been on the field, the Imperial Army has already taken the battle.
The current situation is extremely unfavorable to humans.
Of course, there are solutions to this dilemma of being attacked from all sides. The easiest one is to blow up the tunnel, so that humans and insects can be separated from each other and have peace of mind.
But in fact, this is a very short-sighted act.
The Zerg will not let humans go because humans collapse the tunnel.
First of all, the collapsed tunnel rubble is simply not worth mentioning compared to the closed gate above the outpost.
After the humans collapsed the tunnel, should they wait for rescue on the spot, or should they find a way to break through the door and leave the ruins?
However, both of them are not as fast as the Zerg's holes. During this peaceful period, humans can be said to have lost all their perception of Zerg, and humans will not know all the actions of Zerg.
After this period of tranquility before death, are the bugs that break out of the wall, the collapsed dome, or some unimaginable disaster to greet humans?
This is no different from locking the door and waiting to die.
Secondly, if there is a choice to close the tunnel and reduce the attack direction of the insects, will humans get a chance to breathe?
Indeed, doing so can indeed delay the Zerg's multi-way attack, but one question is, what if the bugs do not actively dig through the blockage?
Will there be fewer tunnels left for humans to pass? So after 24 hours, will humans still go to the control area to find trouble for the boss behind the scenes?
If I go, wouldn’t I have to choose from the remaining routes? Then wouldn’t the bugs concentrate their superior forces and have arranged heavy troops to intercept them long ago?
Finally, there is another possibility that makes humans desperate, that is, will the Zerg open the teleportation window directly inside the outpost?
What if it is a portal that Wang Fei cannot close?
Wouldn't humans' behavior of breaking the tunnel be dug their own graves and where would they escape?
Do you have to fight with the Zerg in a limited space?
What if the bugs are directly transmitted to the self-destructing unit!
Alas, it's too difficult...
Not only the commander of the outpost was worried, but even Wang Fei and the others were worried.
Although I don’t want to admit it, this outpost is likely to be unable to get rid of its fallen fate from the beginning and is destined to be abandoned by mankind.
The key is when that moment comes, where will humans retreat and where can they be used as a place for humans?
Only dungeon!
Only the vast dungeons have enough strategic depth to allow human survivors to survive this last period of time.
Only dungeons are the only way for human beings to live!
...
The fierce firefight continued, and the Zerg's attack did not stop for even a trace of time.
According to the imperial statistics, tens of thousands of insects of all sizes on the outpost have been killed. If the Zerg's portals are no longer increased, then only by investing all troops except the Air Force can this never-ending offensive be achieved.
If the guess is correct, the rear of the Zerg should be relatively empty.
But this is not the time to break through.
The shorter the time you spend fighting with bugs, the better;
The more Zergs consumed, the better;
The fewer remaining humans, the better...
Although the last one is cruel, everyone knows that it is impossible to escape the bugs by bringing family members. The team must be streamlined and only elites are left.
And the elites in the outpost are all the expedition members!
All the surviving expedition members are much stronger than the Imperial soldiers in terms of their personal abilities.
Therefore, the Imperial soldiers responsible for sticking to the outpost are all burdens of follow-up operations and are all existences that need to be left behind.
This was the decision made by the emperor.
Cold, but effective.
Wang Fei is a vested interest, so he cannot evaluate the right or wrong of this decision.
But he asked himself, if it were him, he would have made a similar choice...
After all, sacrifice is necessary!
In order to achieve the final goal, even your own life can be sacrificed, so no one blames anyone.
However, Wang Fei would still make this sacrifice look better, at least let the soldiers charge with him, and life and death are destined to be rich and noble.
Even if they are more likely to fall on the road.
