Chapter 557: Embarrassing results

Views:

A large number of alien insects rioted out of the basin, a small part of them were diverted here, while the vast majority of them flew towards the defense base.

Even so, the pressure on these 350 people is still tremendous.

Unlike the last time when he looked at the overall situation, this time Zhu Shijiu was paying attention to this battlefield.

The alien insects attacked the special operations brigade from all directions, and soon the brigade was torn into pieces.

There was no way. The alien insects were now more violent than usual. If the special operations team wanted to delay the battle, they had to dodge mainly and attack as a supplement. Therefore, in the chaos of dodging, the teams quickly dispersed.

Zhu Shijiu was slightly surprised. Their fighting process was different from the last time, which caught his attention.

Compared to the last head-on confrontation, the black soldiers this time were much smarter. They fired less frequently, and their battle with the Zerg mainly relied on dodging.

Zhu Shijiu did not intervene recklessly. These black soldiers cooperated very well. If he intervened recklessly, it might cause chaos in their battle. He felt that he only needed to take action when necessary... As for what was necessary

"Report! Team D is surrounded by Zerg!"

The captain of Team D suddenly shouted to report to Zhu Shijiu.

At the same time, other teams also reported their situations while fighting.

"Three members of Team F are injured! Requesting fire support!"

"Team B, disperse! The sandstorm is too strong and we have lost our vision! Requesting to temporarily leave the battlefield!"

"Team E has connected with Team A. Oops! We are attacked by Zerg on the left... Retreat! Retreat!"

"Team J requests support from Team D!"

"C-Team..."

This was something Zhu Shijiu had specifically emphasized to them before commanding the battle. Due to the limitations of the drone, he could only grasp the overall situation from a bird's-eye view and was unable to notice some details. Only by asking them to report during the battle could he know what each team encountered and what risks they faced at what time.

However, Zhu Shijiu had a good idea, but a large number of noises broke into his ears, making him a little confused.

A battle is very fast, and the situation changes in an instant, which requires commanders to concentrate their attention to respond to commands.

Unfortunately, Zhu Shijiu obviously couldn't do it because his basic foundation was too poor.

But he still tried his best to sort out the various situations that the teams were facing, and quickly said: "Team J will go to support Team D. Team D will leave the battlefield and evacuate to this point... The point has been marked on the map..."

"D Squad has suffered casualties! The death toll has reached ten! Requesting the implementation of the decoy tactic!"

Too slow!

The captain of Team D's words directly interrupted Zhu Shijiu's train of thought.

Zhu Shijiu immediately realized that he was still not experienced enough and was just a little slow in giving the order, resulting in one third of the black soldiers in Team D being killed.

But he did not change the order, and spoke calmly and quickly: "Execute the order! And report the number of the Black Death Soldier."

The leader of Team D was confused and felt his scalp tingling. He rolled over on the ground twice. An alien insect just happened to pass by his original position, stirring up a gust of sand. He quickly shouted, "Report the number of the brother who died next to you!"

As soon as the order was given, the voices of the black soldiers began to ring in Zhu Shijiu's earphones.

"D-6!", "D-3", "D-26!", "D-15"...

In the command center, Zhu Shijiu took a pen and quickly wrote down a series of coded texts on paper. This is the most efficient means of recording, and it can basically achieve a synchronous recording process. If used skillfully, it can even add details while recording.

After Team D finished reporting on the dead black soldiers, Zhu Shijiu immediately shouted, "Team D, leave the battlefield immediately! Follow orders!"

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Shijiu shouted again: "Attention everyone! Whenever a black soldier dies, someone needs to report the number of the dead black soldier!"

"How's Team F doing?"

"Three members of Team F were injured and their pheromones were depleted! They are recovering under the protection of the team!"

"Very good, please keep going! Team E, Team E reporting in!"

"Thirteen members of Team E have been separated... No?! Five are injured! Five are suffering from pheromone depletion... Their numbers are E-8 and E-32... Requesting support!"

In a hurry.

The word "smoker" can only be used to describe Zhu Shijiu now.

To be honest, Smoker was a little disappointed.

Although Zhu Shijiu's performance has far exceeded the level of a trainee, he still lacks some reaction speed and correctness of instructions compared to a formal commander. Compared to the initial stunning performance, Zhu Shijiu's current level has dropped significantly.

Especially when faced with some difficult decisions, Zhu Shijiu actually still hesitated!

Hesitation leads to defeat!

Especially when fighting against alien insects, the battle progresses very quickly and a slight hesitation is likely to lead to a drastic change in the battle situation.

Zhu Shijiu barely managed to command the teams to move, counterattack, and support, seeming extremely unfamiliar with the technique. Some of the instructions seemed problematic to the Smoker, but Zhu Shijiu did not realize that.

Halfway through the fight, Smoker really wanted to go up and take over the battle himself, but he held back.

Because the support troops arranged by Zhu Shijiu have arrived—the black soldiers in Area C!

The black soldiers in Area C came in a mighty force. The two teams in the east and west directly cut through the entire alien insect flow, cutting it in the middle and dividing the alien insect flow into two parts.

Most of the Zerg still rushed towards the defense base, but some were left at the cut-off point.

At the same time, the arrival of the black soldiers in Area C directly saved the special operations brigade that was on the verge of collapse.

The special operations brigade's casualties have reached 50%, and more than a hundred black soldiers have died under the attack of alien insects.

Although this result was very satisfactory compared to the last crushing defeat, Zhu Shijiu still felt quite heavy in his heart.

Not only was it heavy, but the cold sweat on his forehead also showed how nervous he was. Seeing that the C-area black soldiers had successfully responded to the special operations team, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, wiped his sweat and said, "The special operations team... is now under the C-area black soldiers."

"Black soldiers in Area C, follow the original plan and deploy defensive formation No. 11!"

After saying this, Zhu Shijiu covered his earphones and let out a long breath.

Damn, this is really not something a human would do!

He had only been in command for less than five minutes, but now he felt that his brain was almost a mess. Fortunately, the tactical goal had been achieved.

Next, let’s take a look at the battle situation of the black soldiers in areas A and B.

Now his goal is not limited to successfully implementing the tactics of annihilating the alien insects, but to successfully implement the tactics while reducing combat losses!

Zhu Shijiu glanced at the time. 14:28.

In the previous round, the black soldiers in Area C only lasted for more than ten minutes before being wiped out. But this time, they have successfully cut off the alien insect flow, so they should be able to hold on for a long time.

After wiping the cold sweat off his forehead, Zhu Shijiu began to adjust the formations of Area A and Area B.

To be honest, he was originally planning to wait and see what happens, just like leaving the game idle when playing games.

But after the battle just now, he realized that he seemed to be unable to hang up. If he did not deal with the sudden situation caused by the butterfly effect, he would probably face the crisis of annihilation this time. At least it was impossible to have zero casualties.

Even if he made arrangements in advance, the movements of the Zerg would change because of his arrangements, so he had to exercise his command ability and work hard to reduce casualties.

"Don't panic, don't panic. The goal of this round is to win first, and then we can consider reducing the casualties!"

Zhu Shijiu stared at the computer screen, muttering to himself.

14:42—This is a very coincidental timing.

In the previous round, the defense base was completely destroyed at this point in time, but in this round, it happened to be at this time that the defense base was successfully defended, and 40% of the alien insects were wiped out by Zhu Shijiu!

However, Zhu Shijiu looked dazed, and there was a hint of embarrassment in his daze.

Because the black soldiers suffered 50% casualties...

What's the problem

As the commander, Zhu Shijiu knew very well that the problem was not with the large-scale tactics that could be adjusted at any time, but with him - the black soldiers in areas A and B needed to take command in the face of the aggressive alien insects.

It was difficult for him to command a special operations brigade, so how could he be asked to command the black soldiers from two districts at once

Overestimate him.

He tried his best to fight back, but ended up wasting 30% of his black soldiers and killing 30% of the alien insects.

As for the black soldiers in area C, because all his energy was focused on the black soldiers in areas A and B, he neglected command there and ended up having to let the black soldiers hold on with difficulty. It was also a one-for-one exchange, in which he used twenty percent of his troops to exchange for one percent of the Zerg.

Later, the black soldiers from areas AB rushed to the black soldiers from area C, and the remaining 10% of the alien insects finally couldn't hold on and finally retreated back to the basin. The black soldiers from the three areas also retreated tactically and returned to the defense base.

Simply put, the casualty ratio between the black soldiers and the alien insects in the battles that Zhu Shijiu participated in commanding was 1:1, and the casualty ratio between the black soldiers and the alien insects in the battles that he did not participate in commanding was 2:1. The role he played was only equivalent to saving 10% of the troops.

"… "

Zhu Shijiu was in a trance, but the smoker beside him didn't get angry like last time. Instead, he patted his shoulder comfortingly and said, "Not bad... for a student."

Yes, it is very good for a student.

But for a commander, it was a serious failure! If the person sitting here now was a tuberculosis patient, then after this battle, the organization would consider whether to suspend the tuberculosis patient.

Zhu Shijiu was of course very dissatisfied.

So he looked at the paper notes that were already filled with notes, and carefully sorted out all the noteworthy details.

Just at this time, the tuberculosis patient, who had almost finished his rest, came back.

"Hmm? You haven't started commanding yet..."

As soon as the sickly ghost opened his mouth to ask, he saw Zhu Shijiu pinching his neck and turned around to look at him apologetically.

The next moment, blood and flesh splattered.
