Chapter 37 Advance troops
Within half an hour after the meeting ended, all members of the advance team boarded a troop carrier equipped with a space jump engine. Under the escort of two other warships, the three ships activated the space jump technology and quickly appeared near Mars.

The advance regiment is a strengthened regiment-scale combat organization, with a total of eighteen combat companies, six of which are tank companies and twelve infantry companies.

When it appeared near Mars, it was already night time in the firefighting area, and the support troops immediately contacted the ground defenders, and the answer they got was not to land near the Tarsis Plateau where the base is located, because it was already surrounded by the enemy's swarm. It is easy to shoot down if they appear in the sky over there. If possible, let them go to the Sailor's Canyon on the east side of the plateau. After landing there, there is a secret entrance that can lead directly to the base.

But at the same time, the commander of the Mars base said one thing. This secret passage was originally used to retreat in the end. If the reinforcements came from there, it would mean that they had cut off their retreat.

After hearing this, the old ghost only asked one sentence: "Is there any way out for us now?"

Johnny was silent for a few seconds on the intercom: "No"

Old ghost: "That's it, hold on, we'll be right there"

Johnny replied: "Okay, but you also have to be careful, now the whole Mars is full of these disgusting bugs." After finishing speaking, he ended the communication and went back to command the battle.

After the call was over, everyone in the group analyzed different landing craft and began to fly into the atmosphere of Mars. When Mike sat down next to Yu Fei, he asked puzzledly: "What kind of bug can knock down the spaceship? I heard it right, right?" "

Before Yu Fei could answer, he heard the pilot yell: "When you encounter enemy anti-aircraft artillery fire, sit and move!"

"Anti-aircraft artillery fire?" This word that changed the color of all the airborne departments also made Yu Fei's ass tightened, and the urge to urinate rose, and he immediately looked out from the portholes on both sides.

In an instant, Yu Fei even thought that he had come to a dream world, countless colorful lights were flying upwards from the ground in the night sky.

It's a pity that these multicolored lights all carried the greetings of death. The landing craft that were hit burst into flames and exploded in the air. The personnel and equipment inside fell to the ground like stones. Some people could be seen opening their parachutes in time. These people should They can land safely because the gravitational force of Mars is smaller than that of the Earth, and some of them entered the spiral state without any reaction. It is estimated that they died when the landing craft disintegrated.

Two small space battleships faithfully provided supporting firepower, using the main guns on the spaceships to shoot at the ground, which somewhat shared the pressure of some landing troops, but they only lasted for a few minutes. It was really weak and pitiful. After a while, the two gunboats were injured and caught fire one after another. The pilots, gunners, and parachute jumped successively to join the ranks of the airborne troops.

Seeing that the only finger was forgotten, Yu Fei felt that he could not hold back his urine even more. Looking at the same landing craft, those who believed in God took out their crosses, and those who believed in Allah began to call Allah, and they all began to pray. Only then did Yu Fei feel that faith It turned out that it was still useful, so I also prayed indiscriminately with the gods and Buddhas all over the sky. From Buddha, Tathagata to Guanyin Bodhisattva, from Jesus Christ to the Virgin Mary, he begged him all over the place, and finally he even called out the name of the Jade Emperor. .

I don't know if it's the devout believers or Yu Fei rushing to hug Buddha's feet. I know that the landing craft of the 1st row of E company where Yu Fei is is not hit, and fell to the ground in a shock, and everyone inside grew Take a breath.

The driver pressed the switch and opened the door of the landing craft. Yu Fei raised his gun and shouted: "All follow me!"

Stepping on the hard rocky ground of Mars, Yu Fei immediately put on the communicator and wanted to contact the old ghost, but the earphones were full of noise, as if they had been subjected to strong magnetic interference. The effect was the same after changing several different frequency bands. It was not a communication failure, but the other party used some kind of electromagnetic suppression method to interfere with the communication of the landing troops.

In the process of contacting the old ghost, another landing ship landed nearby, and the 2nd row led by Song Yu was inside, and the 3rd row couldn't be contacted at all. I don't know if it landed somewhere else or was in the air. was wrecked.

Under such circumstances, Yu Fei had no choice but to make up his own mind. He looked up at the large number of landing craft still in mid-air, gritted his teeth, pointed to the position where the laser was fired from the ground, and said to his subordinates, "Which direction should we attack?"

The platoon leader of the first row is the tall black man—Mike, a good partner who has been fighting side by side since Enceladus, and immediately led the team to the direction Yu Fei pointed. Halfway through, he ran to Yu Fei and asked: "Companion? Commander, you are not going to attack their anti-aircraft positions, are you? Didn’t we court death for things that can knock down spaceships?”

"God is fair. Units that can attack from a distance are not necessarily suitable for melee combat. Most of the units with thick armor move slowly, otherwise the universe would have been unified long ago. So even if I can't defeat their anti-aircraft firepower, I have to force them to move. You can’t shoot at the sky so comfortably,” Yu Fei replied.

The place where they landed was at the entrance of the canyon, and the anti-aircraft fire came from the high ground on the west side of the canyon. Two platoons of more than 60 people climbed a section of the hillside. When the ground became flat, they could use binoculars to observe the other side's anti-aircraft position. .

Mike's previous question finally has an answer, what kind of bug can knock down the spaceship?
The answer: a bug bigger than a heavy-duty truck, and with a fancy energy launcher at the end.

This kind of insect is very similar to a scorpion on the earth, but it is not known how many times larger. It is about 15 meters long from head to tail. It has six thick arthropod-like legs digging into the rocks on the ground, and the end of the tail is erected and pointed to the sky.

When this thing shoots, it will start to glow from the lower abdomen, like a colored fire burning in its lower abdomen. After the brightness reaches a certain level, this red light will be transmitted to the tail, and finally from the tail. When fired, it becomes a long shot, and the place hit will burst into flames and explode violently.

Regardless of observing carefully, because every extra second of delay would result in the loss of several more lives in the air, Yu Fei immediately asked his subordinates to prepare the Scalpel III individual laser-guided bomb.

This individual missile is for one-time use, and it is placed in a preset sleeve. When using it, the cover is lifted, and the launcher can launch it in a standing or kneeling position. It is guided by the laser transmitter integrated in the Gauss rifle scope. , The hit rate is extremely high, basically referring to where to hit, with a range of four kilometers.

The disadvantage of this thing is that it is too heavy and bulky, and each person can bring two at most, and Yu Fei does not intend to keep it flowing. It may not be enough for such a small number of people to rush on it. If you think about using half and keeping the other half, you are purely lying to yourself. up.

Because he was not sure whether this strange worm-like life was the key point or the chest. You must know that such a big thing has thick skin. If you are not sure, it will be troublesome. Yu Fei thought about asking everyone to lock one The scorpion-shaped creature's laser-emitting tail, even if it can't kill you, it's always right to temporarily disable your fire.

"Class one, locked up"

"Second class, locked down"

"Class three..."

After 80% of the lock was completed, Yu Fei immediately yelled: "Launch", and at the same time clicked the launch button on the touch screen of the individual soldier's computer, aiming the two bombs he brought at a radium-tailed scorpion and launched it.

Immediately, a tongue of flame spewed out from the missile sleeves behind everyone. The fist-sized missiles filled with high-explosives, with bright arcs, crossed the distance between the marines and the opponent's air defense positions. Accurately hit the target.

After a burst of violent explosions, the opponent who thought it was going to explode was a mess of casualties, but when he looked at Yu Fei with a telescope, he was dumbfounded. Those giant laser scorpions seemed to be just injured, and they moved away from the marines one after another. The tail turned into a flat shot, and lasers shot towards the marines one after another, and at the same time, a large number of small reptiles gushed out from behind the air defense positions.

The smaller ones are only aimed at those laser scorpions that are about the size of heavy trucks. Although the appearance of the new ones can't be seen clearly, with the help of the measurement function of the telescope, it can be seen that these scorpions are about one meter long, and the number is particularly large. Much, the blackness on the ground was like a tidal wave, and it went straight to the two platoons of marines who had just launched the missiles, and rushed towards them. The speed was very fast, and they moved within a distance where they could clearly see their whole picture in a blink of an eye.

The marines used binoculars if they had binoculars, and gun sights if they didn't. They all let out an exclamation after seeing the appearance of these things clearly.

"Damn, isn't this a locust?"

"This is not a locust. Your locust is as big as a wolf dog?"

"Look at their forelimbs, I don't want to get hit"

It can be clearly seen in the telescope that these locust-like creatures have thick hind legs and a pair of somewhat degenerated short wings on the upper back. They are moving quickly. The hardened cuticles shone coldly, like sharp short knives.

"Look for cover, heavy armored infantry in front, light armored soldiers in the back, open fire" Yu Fei shouted, he picked up his assault rifle and started shooting, and the entire Marine Corps formation also began to spray dense rain of bullets.

In the standard formation of space marines, the ratio of light armored soldiers to heavy armored soldiers is 1:3. Yu Fei kept all the heavy armored soldiers and two-thirds of the light armored soldiers, and sent the rest to look for reinforcements. I have a hunch that this small force of the enemy is only the vanguard, and it is likely that they were called in urgently when they were close. There will be more after a little delay.

Those left behind formed three fronts. Since the ground was covered with hard rocks and they couldn't dig foxholes, the marines had to hide behind the protruding rocks and attack the mutated locusts rushing forward with 40MM howitzers and Gauss rifles, but from time to time they would Someone was hit by the laser light emitted by the laser scorpion, and a hole the size of a bowl was punched from the chest to the back, and they died without even screaming.

Under the cover of the long-range laser scorpion, the mutated locusts approached quickly. They are weaker than the radium-tailed scorpion just now. The shell can also be fired and pierced through. A single one can be killed with five or six shots. After it explodes, it will reveal a pile of white intestines and green mushy intestinal contents.

Although it is easy to kill a single locust, it is another matter if there are too many. A large group of mutated locusts rushed up like a flood with bullets, and rushed in front of Yu Fei and others, raising their mutated sharp forelimbs , grabbing the unrelenting Marines like an iron hook...
