Xingwu hegemony

Chapter 42
While attacking this line of defense, there were also intensive gunshots from other directions, and an offensive and defensive battle around the main base of the Terrans on Mount Olympus began.

The Zerg Beasts dispatched tens of thousands of various troops, half of them were Mutant Locusts and Poison Exploders, and cooperated with the high-level troops to launch a fierce attack on the Human Race position. If you look at it from the sky above Mars, the entire Human Race position looks like a black ocean. The isolated island was surrounded like an iron barrel by the troops of the Zerg Beast tribe. Wave after wave of troops attacked non-stop, causing damage to the tribe and being torn into pieces at the same time, and carried out the leader's order regardless of death. .

The Terran troops resisted desperately. Every minute of delay, the supporting Third Guards Fleet would get closer to them. The factories in the base could also produce more war materials and clones. Bullets, grenades and flames were sprayed, and the volley of tanks made the ground tremble, and the surrounding fields roared. Mount Olympus witnessed the indomitable fighting courage of the human race, and the human race flag on the position is like the highest peak in the solar system. Same, always standing.

Several times in succession, the opponent's air force finally flapped its wings and began to hover and approach from the end of the telescope's line of sight. When Yu Fei saw this situation, he immediately called the large-caliber machine guns on the third and fourth rows of bunkers to shoot from the ground. Mode, switched to the state of anti-aircraft shooting, and adjusted the reserve team up, half of them stayed near the tanks for air defense, and half of them were replenished in the bunkers in the front row to take over the shooting positions vacated by the dead and wounded.

But after taking away the heavy machine gun, the suppression of firepower on the ground was greatly weakened. Taking advantage of this opportunity of weakening firepower, the opposing Mutated Locusts and Banelings finally accelerated their movement and rushed to the vicinity of the first row of bunkers.

A large number of fast-moving mutated locusts blocked the bullets, and when they approached, they gave way to the banelings. The sarcoid-shaped banelings rolled and hit the bunker one after another, and exploded with a slight cracking sound.

Each baneling has about 4 to 6 liters of strong acid in its body, which is almost the same amount of water as when using a flush toilet. It may not feel like a single one, but after several consecutive explosions, the superimposed damage is still very horrifying.

The bunkers that were splashed by the acid were corroded one after another, coupled with the attack of the mutant locust's sharp forelimbs, the walls of the bunkers were soon damaged in various sizes, and now they could shoot outside without firing holes.

"Fire, burn them to death" Yu Fei jumped onto the weapon station, and shouted while pressing the switch on the handle of the flamethrower.

Immediately, the bunkers in the front row spewed out tongues of flames, including a large flamethrower that was tens of meters long, and a small flamethrower that had a killing range of more than ten meters from the Hellfire Mecha. The combination of these two things formed a dense fire In this range, the insects and beasts are not spared. As long as they are swept by the flames, their whole bodies will catch fire and burn, turning into piles of coke amidst squeaking and screaming.

Although both are flaming weapons, the fuel, working principle, and tactical use of these two flamethrowers are different. The wolf chariot is equipped with napalm + white phosphorus + high-energy fuel, which is mixed to form a viscous Liquid combustion agent, which needs to be produced, pressurized, and canned in the arsenal.

This kind of combustion agent does not even need to be ignited. Under the right temperature, it can spontaneously ignite as long as it encounters oxygen. It is useless to shake if it touches the body. Otherwise, it will continue to burn until the fuel on the flamethrower is exhausted. When the fuel tank of this flamethrower is exhausted, it needs to be returned to the factory for replenishment, which has certain requirements for logistics.

As for the Hellfire Mecha equipped by individual soldiers, each of the left and right hands holds a nozzle, which is connected to the high-pressure gas tank behind it. Inside is liquid methane as the fuel for the flamethrower. The reason why methane is used is that it is easy to obtain materials. Many planets There is a high concentration of methane in the atmosphere, and it can also be quickly generated by biotechnology character organic matter, so it can be replenished at any time during the battle.

In addition, methane production is also very easy. The Hellfire Mech comes with several bottles of liquid in the standard configuration, which are full of bacteria that can eat organic matter and then decompose methane. Put some branches, leaves, and animal carcasses into sealed bags, and then pour this If it is a liquid, it will proliferate in large numbers, and a large amount of methane will be decomposed in a few hours. The methane gas obtained by these two methods can be used after being pumped into the gas tank with a compressor.

If the first type is jet fire rain, the second type is direct-fired blowtorch. The results of the two are very good. A sea of ​​high-temperature flames is burned in front of the bunker, mixed with the crackling sound when the fibers are dried. , coupled with the scorched corpses and stench everywhere, the front line has become as horrible as hell. The marines have to raise the hemispherical heat shield of the mecha to prevent being burned by the high temperature. It is already like this in the bunker, It's even more obvious from the outside.

The sea of ​​flames formed by the flamethrower temporarily blocked the opponent's attack. After attacking with acid and spikes through the sea of ​​flames, the Hydralisks and cockroaches couldn't stand the bombardment of the tank guns, so they withdrew one after another. Among them, they were two or three meters high but moved The slower Hydralisk went first, and the cockroach with thick armor and thick skin was the last.

Frustrated in this attack, the opponent's air force could no longer hold back and joined the attack. Those flying dragons with a wingspan of seven or eight meters spit out fireballs from the air and hit the human position.

These fireballs seem to be the oil secreted by its stomach sac, wrapped into basketball-sized oil balls, flying through the air at an extremely fast speed and exploding on the ground, each fireball will form a small fire field with a diameter of several square meters when it hits the ground, some even It hit the tank directly.

The anti-aircraft machine guns that had already been prepared opened fire immediately, so that the flying dragons did not dare to press too low. The fireballs that landed in the position were quickly dealt with by the marines with fire extinguishers. The first round of the opponent's air force's attack only caused some disturbances. What a loss.

But the second round was different. The opponent replaced another flying dragon with a blue abdomen, and the attack method of this flying dragon was not a fireball. Afterwards, it flexibly crawled towards the tank, drilled into the gap between the track and the connection between the turret and the body, and exploded, corroding the circuits and armor inside and breaking down.

Fatty Ma's tank was set on fire and exploded. Before that, he escaped from the tank and ran to the bunker under the support of the Marine Corps. Yu Fei also moved along the tunnel to direct the air defense. When the two joined together, Fatty Ma said : "Damn, where did these disgusting things come from? Are they lice?"

Yu Fei looked at the sky with his binoculars for a while and said, "I'm afraid it's not a lice, but a parasite in its intestines."

"What?" Fatty Ma yelled in disbelief, took a look through the binoculars and realized that what Yu Fei said was probably true.

This time, the flying dragon swung its long body, from the end of the lower abdomen, similar to the anus, expelled small parasites from the body to the ground. These parasites were palm-sized and shaped like crabs. A barb-like thorn, and a small amount of acid in the body. After landing, I saw people biting people, and saw vehicles getting in and destroying them. The moving speed was still very fast, which can be said to be very headache.

Fatty Ma is usually most afraid of soft and sticky insects, and he also has a bit of intensive phobia. This kind of parasite happens to take up both of them. Fatty Ma turned pale when he saw it, and said to Yu Fei: "Salted fish, If I'm surrounded by these bugs, do me a favor and shoot me, I don't want to be bitten to death by this disgusting thing"

"You're too tired, those bugs might not like to eat them, so how do you want to die? Get hit by a baneling and turn into pus, or cut into two pieces by a laser scorpion?" Yu Fei retracted the telescope and asked.

"Forget it, I'll die on the bed or in the arms of a woman." Fatty Ma shook his head when he heard that these methods of death were not very decent.

"Well, I think you will die in the woman's crotch sooner or later." After Yu Fei finished speaking, he ignored Fatty Ma and began to direct the missile tower of the space engineering vehicle frame. The mechs burned all the small parasites to death, and the tanks damaged by the parasites were quickly repaired, and the position was restored from the panic in the shortest possible time.

After the 6X4 missile turret was put into use, the air defense pressure of the position was much lower. The only fly in the ointment is that the radar reflection surface of the Flying Dragon is too small to be automatically locked by the missile turret. It can only be switched to manual operation, and then cooperate with the rest of the anti-aircraft machine guns. , finally able to deal with threats from the air.

But during this period of time, half of the tanks have been damaged, and only 5 can still shoot normally.

The mutated locusts rushed forward with the baneers stepping on the corpses of the same kind. The cockroaches and hydralisks began to approach and shoot at the front of the human line of defense. Acid bombs and horny thorns rained down, and the flamethrowers did not This unit has a long range, and was immediately suppressed.

In the few rounds of attack just now, the first row of bunkers has been severely damaged. This time, it can no longer prevent the impact and corrosion of the poisonous explosion. After the hole is big enough, the mutated locusts crawl in and bite wildly. After killing, the gas tank of a Hellfire Mech was corroded, and the exposed gas caused an explosion, directly blowing up the entire bunker to the sky, and the flames burned down several nearby bunkers along the tunnel. The first line of defense can't be defended no matter what.

"Withdraw, withdraw!" Yu Fei yelled with the communicator, he used the radio method, and the loudspeakers in every bunker would broadcast his orders.

Immediately, the people who were still alive in the first row of bunkers retreated back, some got out and turned around and threw a grenade in, and some crawled along the tunnel to the second row of bunkers. Yu Fei immediately led people to the second row of bunkers to meet them. them.

There are passages between the bunkers, but these passages can be closed in time, otherwise the bunker may become a shortcut for the opponent to attack after the bunker is lost. Yu Fei guarded a bunker and shouted to the people inside to hurry up.

There was a distance of about 200 meters between the two rows of bunkers, and the people inside were successfully transferred in a few tens of seconds. The last soldier who ran out shouted as soon as he left the tunnel entrance: "Shoot quickly, they are behind me!"

Yu Fei immediately stepped forward with his gun, fired dozens of shots, threw two grenades in, closed the metal door, and after a shock, the tunnel was finally quiet. He immediately lay down behind the shooting hole to observe the enemy's situation, and then A new order was issued: "Blow up the tunnel, engineers weld the door to death, and the marines are ready to meet the enemy..."
