The war between the Dark Zerg and the mechanical troops on the planet Talihe did not end here. The huge combat troops retreated while fighting. Their destination was a deep and invisible underground base. The laser drill drilled into the underground dug by the machine. Through the passage, the combat mechanical troops entered like bees' pupae in the silver tide.
Plan B begins.
"Zhi Nao" has established a base in the underground world, with laser drilling machines, mechanical engineering vehicles, crazy expansion of underground space, metal smelting plants, machinery maintenance plants, machinery manufacturing plants, military factories... The complex and huge underground base has entered the intensive construction stage. .
At the same time, under the control of the intelligence brain of the base, the laser underground drilling vehicle opened the passage to the underground lair of the Dark Zerg. Those team members who retreated underground began to make progress in the underground world, and the war turned from the ground to the underground. .
In the basement home, the Darkh Zerg digs an endless network of underground passages. They secrete some kind of liquid to extract mineral elements and raise eggs in the underground passages. They have a ferocious appearance, a hard shell, and unparalleled strength. Each beetle is like a small combatant. When you see these creatures for the first time in a car, you will be shocked by the sight of them swarming in groups. The entire passage is densely packed everywhere. There are endless Dark Zergs in the underground world. The place where they gather is like a rotten egg attracting a swarm of flies. Flying around, filled with thick green liquid, very disgusting.
However, in the underground world, in the narrow space, the combat robots burst out with huge lethality, and the metal storm composed of countless bullets was enough to tear apart any bug.
…
The huge command screen in the flagship command room of the Federation fleet showed the fierce battle between the Dark Zerg and the battle robots in the passage.
In the underground passage, the progress of the robot army is extremely difficult. Every small step forward will cause tens of thousands of bugs to die. However, the pace of the combat robot army is extremely firm. Compared with the Dark Zerg's robot army that is not afraid of death, it is not at all. Knowing what death is, they will only stride forward according to instructions.
"General, Plan B is going well." Flagship Intelligence reported to Admiral Yang Chen.
"Yes! Count our losses." Admiral Yang Chen nodded and ordered.
"Yes, general!" The flagship intelligence responded and immediately reported: "314 hunter-killer ships were damaged in the battle, 7 battleships were damaged in the battle saucer carrier, 11 ships were damaged in the landing ship search, and 2271 ships were damaged. Estimated repair time 21 days... dead soldiers: 41,720, injured soldiers: 81,421, and are receiving comprehensive treatment."
Hearing this, Yang Chen's face sank slightly, the battle damage was not as heavy as usual.
This is the first interstellar war that humans have waged against an alien race. It was only a small battle, but the losses were so heavy. Moreover, it was carried out under the condition of a sneak attack. If a large-scale head-on battle was launched, there would be How many people died!
The huge command room fell into silence for a while, and everyone felt extremely heavy, feeling sad for the countless dead companions.
Admiral Yang Chen took a deep breath and asked the flagship Zhi Nao: "How many bugs have we eliminated? Can you count them?"
"General, the total number of bugs we have killed is estimated to be 17 billion, space bug ships: 7 billion, ground bug swarms: 11 billion." flagship Zhi Nao Hui reported.
A very huge number. However, this number only accounts for less than one-tenth of all the insects in the Tarim Galaxy. There is still a long way to go before achieving the strategic goal.
"General, how about we cancel this mission and go to the YIB317 system to support Tamnai Star?" A staff officer looked at General Yang Chen and suggested.
"Yes! General, it's not too late to accept the combat mission of the Galaxy Alliance." The staff officer on the other side agreed.
It is too difficult to destroy the Zerg in the Tarim Galaxy and eliminate their vitality. The huge insect wave makes people think that they are unable to resist.
"No, we will lose the initiative to support Tamnai Star. The combat goal remains unchanged. If it doesn't work once, try the second time. If it doesn't work the second time, try the third time. After countless attempts, we will always find a way to complete the mission." Yang Chen The admiral looked at everyone with determination and said decisively.
"General, if this happens, our casualties will be heavy!" Captain Li Mu looked at General Yang Chen with an expression of embarrassment and reminded.
Yang Chen glanced at the other party, looked at the star map, tapped a certain position on the holographic screen and ordered: "The fleet, stop here for repairs, repair the disk group, and prepare for the next battle."
Hearing this, the expressions of all the staff officers all changed, but as soldiers, military orders are like a mountain, and it is their bounden duty to obey military orders.
"Yes, General!" All the officers responded in unison.
Immediately, the huge federal fleet sped towards the planet pointed by Admiral Yang Chen.
The huge federal fleet arrived at a crimson planet. Endless transport spaceships swarmed out. Hundreds of millions of engineering robots acted together under the huge computing power of the flagship brain. The fleet repaired the base and faced the entire planet. Use local materials to mine minerals, smelt metals, repair spaceships, and produce space war discs...
…
In the flagship command room, looking out the huge command window at the busy transport spaceships, Admiral Yang Chen's eyes were unfocused, and he was thinking about the details of the next interstellar battle in his mind.
"General, received the order from the home planet." At this moment, an officer walked up behind General Yang Chen and reported.
"Well, what kind of instructions does the home planet have?" Admiral Yang Chen turned around and looked at his subordinates and asked.
"General, if the mother planet wants to obtain the genes of that female insect, it is best to obtain its corpse. This is President Zhou's request." the officer replied.
After speaking, the officer stretched out his hand and displayed a holographic screen in front of General Yang Chen, allowing people to read the content of the order from the home planet.
Admiral Yang Chen read it carefully. After the home planet learned the battle information of the fleet, in order to develop biochemical weapons to suppress the Dark Zerg, it needed the genes of the female insect, so they asked them to find a way to obtain the female insect.
Is it a task specially assigned by Zhou Xing? There is no way to refuse! Admiral Yang Chen smiled bitterly.
"Yes! Instruct everyone to convene a combat meeting immediately." Admiral Yang Chen nodded and issued the order.
"Yes, general." The officer responded, quickly turned around and left, and called all officers to hold a combat meeting.
Admiral Yang Chen followed closely and sat back on the command position.
Soon, the officers rushed back to the command room one after another.
In the huge command room, in addition to the staff officers, there were other captains participating in this combat meeting through a virtual network.
Admiral Yang Chen looked at all the officers and said solemnly: "Have you all received the news? We have been told by the mother planet that we must do our best. What can you do?"
Hearing this, all the officers looked at each other and felt helpless. The scale of the insect swarm of the Dark Zerg was too large. They fought with a weak force. It was simply an egg against a stone, and the chance of victory was very slim.
Although Plan B is still being implemented, it has a very small effect. It will be difficult to achieve the combat goal without completely wiping out the space arms of the Dark Zerg.
"General, has the home planet sent reinforcements?" Colonel Covance asked General Yang Chen.
"No!" General Yang Chen shook his head without thinking. The Human Federation has spent countless funds to build this fleet, not to mention that the Federation is sending a fleet to the Galactic Federation this time to achieve certain goals. Before the critical moment of life and death, never think about the politicians in the Federal Government sending reinforcements.
"It's better to conduct another sneak attack." Colonel Lu Feng looked at General Yang Chen and suggested.
"The Dark Zerg are powerful and they are already on alert. A sneak attack will only increase casualties, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve the effect!" Colonel Johnson said solemnly.
In the huge command room, the officers looked a little ugly. Facing the powerful Dark Zerg and attacking their lair, they felt like they were seeking death. Everyone was helpless.
"Sneak attacks are not possible, nor are force attacks possible. We can only adopt the strategy of ambush warfare, constantly luring the opponent's troops and gradually encroaching." Colonel Li Mu looked at General Yang Chen and suggested.
"Well, according to this idea, let's add more!" Admiral Yang Chen's eyes lit up and he agreed.
Hearing this, all the staff members began to think according to Li Mu's ideas.
"The intercontinental ship must serve as the decoy. The hunter-killer ship's defense is unable to undertake this task." Colonel Johnson suggested.
The staff officers nodded. In the last raid, if the intercontinental ship had not acted as a shield in front and exerted a strong defensive force, the entire fleet would have been destroyed.
Colonel Li Mu tapped the holographic screen to bring up a planet with an asteroid belt. He looked at General Yang Chen and added: "The ambush suggestion is set up here. The disc group can lurk here to facilitate the setting of traps."
"Okay!" General Yang Chen nodded and agreed with the location pointed by Colonel Li Mu.
"General, traps can also be set up at this location. Armed with these asteroids, coupled with our fleet, we will definitely be able to cause huge casualties to the insect tide." Another staff officer added.
…
In the huge command room, the officers supplemented their ideas to General Yang Chen one after another, and the ambush plan was continuously improved.
The combat meeting, which lasted for more than three hours, ended. The entire federal fleet quickly moved into action and rushed to the planet with the asteroid belt. The densely packed transport spacecraft and hundreds of millions of mechanical troops were set up in full swing according to the combat plan. Ambush circle.
In order to deal a serious blow to the Dark Zerg in this battle, the federal fleet spent more than two months preparing for this.
With hundreds of millions of robots busy building, transforming asteroids, installing space turrets and ground laser turrets, more than two billion space war saucers are like torrents, merging into the endless sea of the universe and stars, heading towards The little star belt flew away.
Fifty Intercontinental spacecraft have separated from the main fleet. They will act as decoys and begin to implement the ambush plan.
Soon, 50 Intercontinental ships opened the wormhole and disappeared collectively.
In the Tarihe star system, fifty Intercontinental ships shuttled out of the wormhole. Their main naval guns gathered their energy, aimed at the position of the birth mother worm in Tarihe star, and fired out.
With the appearance of fifty intercontinental ships, the insect tide exploded instantly like pouring water into a boiling oil pan.
The huge energy beam wiped out a group of insect ships, but more insect ships pursued them from all directions.
Facing the surging insect tide, the fifty intercontinental ships quickly turned around and fled.
On Tarihe Planet, the underground fighting is still going on, which has seriously threatened the safety of the Mother Insects. The Dark Zerg hate this enemy extremely. Under the control of the Cerebral Insects, the space insect ships that cannot participate in the ground battlefield are divided. He deployed most of his troops and launched a relentless pursuit of the fleeing enemy.
Soon, fifty intercontinental ships opened the wormhole and shuttled away. The worm ship group followed the trajectory of the wormhole and opened the space-time star gate, pouring in one after another.
After fifty intercontinental ships emerged from the wormhole, they flew straight towards the ambush. Not long after, the star gates in the entire star field were activated, and insect ships emerged one after another, moving forward rapidly, launching a relentless attack on the enemy. pursuit.
Lured by fifty intercontinental ships, the huge insect swarm rushed towards them like a green arrow.
With the huge planet as the background, under the rays of the stars, the insect tide composed of countless insect ships followed fifty intercontinental ships, constantly approaching the ambush circle.
Fifty intercontinental ships flew towards the asteroid belt, then turned around and sped rapidly, with a swarm of insects chasing after them.
The next second, "Whoosh..." Hundreds of millions of energy at the speed of light suddenly shot out from countless laser turrets, dealing a head-on blow to the insect swarm behind.
Suddenly, artillery fire flew across the sky, lasers fired randomly, and they were caught off guard. The entire insect wave's pursuit was stopped.
The next moment, a group of space war discs swarmed out of the ambush circle. They spun wildly and launched an attack on the insect tide together with the interstellar forts. Under the cover of countless powerful artillery fire, they quickly approached the insect tide.
In the blink of an eye, two billion space war saucers formed a silver torrent and flooded the stagnant insect tide. The rapidly rotating disk wheels were extremely sharp, and the war disks easily cut into the huge body of the Dark Zerg.
A cruel scene appeared. The two billion space war discs were like a laser net. Wherever they passed, the insect ships were dismembered one after another. The entire battlefield became a veritable meat grinder, and the space universe formed a... The large green blood mist flows towards the planet like a river under the gravity of the planet.
The space battle discs galloped at the maximum speed, cutting in one after another along the insect tide. Like the flywheel of a slaughterhouse, they cut along the place where the insect tide gathered most. Wherever they passed, insect ship corpses were scattered one after another. The fragments are like dominoes, one after another.
A large number of flying insects died in front, and the dense formation at the rear could not retreat, but could not find the target to attack. For a moment, the Dark Insects seemed to have lost their response, and the losses continued to increase.
The collision between living things and metal always brings losses to the living beings. The war discs rotated at high speed, and the insect ships were easily cut apart and then submerged. The war discs were at home in the insect tide.
The insect tide was attacked by the bone-attached gangrene, and for a while, it was impossible to organize a counterattack against the war disc group.
