Xingwu hegemony

Chapter 40 Cockroach Hydralisk
"Reconnaissance?" Johnny and several of his officers were stunned, looking at their glasses like idiots. After a while, an officer said: "Aren't you free and we die less? In this case, we still need to send people out to conduct reconnaissance? The defense is not strong enough.”

Glasses shook his head and said, "Scout at any time. You can't attack recklessly, and you can't defend blindly. Just shrinking behind the fortifications without knowing the opponent's tactical intentions, it must not work."

"What intention does the other party have, kill us all, and occupy this place?" said a white officer under Johnny, with a hint of anger in his tone, and he seemed very unhappy with what the glasses said.

"No." Yu Fei also stood up to support the point of view of the glasses: "After we landed, the radio communication failed. They can interfere with our communication. Why were you able to send out the distress signal before? Also, how many people of that kind have you seen?" Leviathan?"

A blond boy with the appearance of a staff officer replied: "Ten."

"This is also a proof." Yu Fei nodded and continued: "As a result of the return of the unmanned probe before, the other side had 60 large aircrafts that came to Mars, and now they parked 50 outside the outer atmosphere, and only sent six Just one of them beat you so badly, if all of you were sent out, you wouldn’t be able to hold out until the reinforcements arrived.”

"It makes sense." Johnny is an upright soldier, and he nodded in agreement with what Glasses and Yu Fei said. Several officers under him also looked at the electronic map and began to think about how to start reconnaissance immediately.

The staff here is making a reconnaissance plan, and Johnny and the old ghost counted all the remaining military forces. Those engineers, technicians, geological and agricultural experts all issued weapons to them. People must live first. In order to play the role of knowledge, even if you are dead, no matter how expert you are, it is useless.

These civilians are relatively weak in combat effectiveness. After removing 1000 engineering troops, the rest will be used as professional soldiers at a ratio of 2:1. With the addition of 1500 reinforcements and the remaining 800 people in the base, we finally have a defense of 3300 people. At the same time, the cloning factories in the remaining bases are still rushing to produce. Every day, more clones will be added to the human army. The arsenal is also constantly producing tanks, mines, jet trains, firearms and mechs. , it can be said that if it is delayed for one more day, the power of the human race in the base will increase by a point.

Among the current 3300 people, 600 are tank troops, and there are more than 50 fighter pilots. When their planes were shot down, they parachuted and escaped. They are currently serving as infantry with guns, waiting for the factories in the base to produce new fighters. , They can still fly into the sky to fight the enemy in the air.

Johnny and his men have been stationed on Mars for a long time, and they are very familiar with the terrain and climate here. After discussing for a while, an officer proposed a reconnaissance plan.

This plan sounded good to everyone, even the glasses nodded, the old ghost also agreed, Johnny's face finally looked a little better, and he felt that his subordinates were not stupid enough, and he finally won back some face for himself.

A major feature of Mars is that there are no lakes, oceans, or rivers on the ground. It is completely a red desert planet. The entire surface is covered with sand dunes and gravel. In addition, the gravity is small and the atmosphere is thin, so sand and dust are suspended all year round, and dust storms often occur. , which is the first condition for reconnaissance operations.

After having the climate, the second condition is about the terrain. With the Tharsis Plateau starting from the center, the height of the periphery gradually decreases, forming a lot of grooves extending radially to the periphery. Using these grooves, you can go around outside the opponent's encirclement. , with the high mobility of the reconnaissance mecha, coupled with the small unmanned aerial vehicle that can be operated by a single soldier, reconnaissance work can be carried out in a large area. Kilometers should be fine.

Several of Johnny's subordinates bravely asked to participate in the reconnaissance, and the officers under the old ghost naturally refused to lag behind. After all, the advance team came to support, and they couldn't do nothing and just watch others busy.

Yu Fei and Mike were asked to participate by the old ghost, which Yu Fei expected. It would be abnormal if the old ghost didn’t call him, but to everyone’s surprise, Fatty Ma also volunteered. Asking to join the reconnaissance team surprised everyone.

"Fatty man, why are you joining in the fun, there is no model of reconnaissance mech that you can wear." Yu Fei made fun of the fat man's size.

"Damn it, I don't know who it was last time. I was chased and chased like an ostrich. It's not because I drove a jet train to pick you up. It's an ungrateful thing." Fatty Ma scolded.

"Okay, don't make any noise." The old ghost waved his hand to interrupt them, signaling Johnny to hurry up and decide on a candidate.

The advance regiment and the Martian garrison each sent a few to form a 20-member reconnaissance team, preparing to find a gap to jump out of the encirclement to perform reconnaissance missions when the next dust storm comes, and to find out at any stage of any war. The opponent's troop deployment and true intentions are both good things. Knowing the enemy and knowing the enemy is not only applicable to ancient China, but also applicable to two interstellar races with similar strengths.

After making the plan, the advance team didn't wait to take a break when an early warning from the outpost came through the intercom. They observed the mobilization of the opponent's troops and estimated that a new round of attack would be launched.

Johnny immediately waved his hand and asked the officers to lead the troops into the position. The old ghost strengthened some troops to the weak point of the defense line, and temporarily reserved the rest as a reserve team. He didn't know how long this battle would last, so he suddenly took the chips in his hand It is very unwise to smash it all.

Yu Fei was ordered to lead a team to defend a position at the southeast corner of Mount Olympus. This is a group of bunkers built on volcanic rocks, with some fully automatic turrets sandwiched between them. It turned out that one company that was damaged here was already dead. With less than half a platoon, the company commander was also killed in the opponent's last attack. If they don't send people to strengthen the defense, they will definitely be captured by the insect swarm.

According to the difficulty of executing this order, in addition to Yu Fei's own company of marines, several space engineering vehicles and medical soldiers, the old ghost also allocated nine tanks and more than 20 wolf jet trains to him.

Because according to the experience introduced by Johnny's officers, the wolf-breathing train and the fire mecha are definitely sharp weapons against mutant locusts. Once the long tongue of flame burns, it will be a piece. For the short transparent wings, without the wings, the movement speed of the mutated locust will be greatly reduced, and it is easy to be locked and killed by other human arms.

Based on this situation, Yu Fei has also made adjustments in the selection of Marine Corps mechas. According to the ratio of 5:2:2:1, he is clearly equipped with infantry mechas, infantry heavy armors, Hellfire mechas and reconnaissance mechas. In this way, more than 100 marines and more than 70 armored troops entered the defensive position in the southeast direction.

The bases built on the basis of five extinct volcanoes are all designed with the Sangvis as imaginary enemies, so the quality is very high.The human race has put a lot of effort into this. A large number of bunkers and fully automatic turrets constitute a permanent firepower point. There are tunnel connections between the bunkers, which can be flexibly retreated or transferred, thus avoiding exposure to local firepower when abandoning the bunker. A fatal flaw. At the same time, there are wired telephones between the bunkers, which can be used to transmit orders and coordinate firepower when encountering electromagnetic suppression by the opponent.

After entering the position, Yu Fei first observed the terrain with a high-powered telescope. The stepped bunker was built on a hillside, and there was a large open field in front of it. In the trench behind the open field, there were figures of the insect and beast troops. Moving inside, it seems that an attack may be launched at any time.

"First row, second row, enter the position, replace the defenders inside, and tell them to gather here with me." Yu Fei said to Mike and Song Yu. The characters form a tank array, and the bracket is fixed on the ground amidst the sound of the motor running, and the gun body is raised high to enter the siege mode that can be fired from a long distance.

The third platoon was left by Yu Fei as a reserve team. After the platoon leader died, he personally led the team and asked the soldiers of the third platoon to go to the bunker behind the position to stand by first, and then transfer them up when necessary.

When Yu Fei was arranging troops, he was suddenly startled by a loud voice: "Report sir, Staff Sergeant of Company H of the Martian Garrison [-]th Regiment, Afanasi. Ivanovic is reporting to you, please give instructions"

Looking back at this guy who doesn't use a tweeter, he is more than two meters tall, about the size of a black Mike, with yellow hair, high nose, blue eyes, and white skin. Rifle, the muzzle is still emitting light blue smoke, coupled with several wounds on the body that are still dripping blood, a bit of Caucasian blood, looks very brave.

Behind this person stood a row of marines who were almost in a state of distress. Yu Fei asked the others to replace their mechas with new ones and treat the wounds, leaving behind the question he had just said: "Tell me about the situation, Afana..." Yu Fei Fei got stuck at this point, and he realized that this guy's name is so long, he couldn't remember it after listening to it.

"Sir, you can call me Ivan"

"Oh, Ivan, are you in charge of the position now?"

"Yes, the company commander and platoon leader died in the line of duty, I am the squad leader"

"Introduce the situation and you can go to rest"

"Okay, sir, look." The sergeant named Ivan pointed to the terrain in front of him and said, "Limited by the terrain, they can only attack us by climbing up the gentle slope four kilometers away, so the laser scorpions and plasma ants are both They can't play a role, they are mainly mutated locusts, poisonous banelings, cockroaches and hydralisks, as well as the air force, the kind of flying dragons that spit fireballs, are the greatest threat to us, and the most people die in their hands, tanks and anti-aircraft missiles The tower was also destroyed by them." Ivan gritted his teeth and said viciously, as if wishing to grow wings and fly to the sky to kill those fire-breathing dragons.

Johnny has already introduced the fighting power of Feilong, but he is not familiar with cockroaches and hydralisks, so Yu Fei asked Iwan to introduce them to him.

"Both are mid-range shooting insect creatures. Cockroaches are more resistant to shooting and can only be killed with a lot of guns. Hydralisks are soft-bodied insects. The lower body moves forward like a snake, and the upper body has horny hard armor. In terms of range, Hydralisks are more powerful. Farther away, it belongs to the medium-range and remote firepower output, and the lethality of the two is almost the same. Hydralisk is more lethal to individual soldiers, and cockroaches are more harmful to buildings," Ivan said in one breath.

"Okay, thank you, you go back to the main base, take care of the wound and take a rest." After finishing speaking, Yu Fei raised his gun and went to the bunker in the front row.

"Sir, I want to stay here" Ivan shouted behind Yu Fei.

"Why?" Yu Fei stopped, and asked a little puzzled.

"When the company commander died, I promised him that I would not leave the position unless I died or the battle was over." This Ivan's face was flushed red, the veins on his neck were popping up, and his eyes were wide open. .

"He's kind, he's a man." Yu Fei praised in his heart, and then said: "Okay, you can find a military doctor to bandage the wound, change into a new mecha, and first have some food, drink some water and rest with the reserve team. I'll call you when I need it"
