Interstellar Soldier

Chapter 1082 Human Legion
The roar of artillery fire was heard overhead as the ground began to shake.

"Get up, get up all for me. [-]st Squadron guards the left line, [-]nd Squadron guards the right line, and [-]rd Squadron follows me to guard the center line. Damn, cheer me up, don't cringe like a bitch Hold on. Pick up a weapon, load it, and fire it up to show those bloody bastards who owns this place, and let those bastards know that none of us are afraid of dying."

Amid the roar of the officers, the soldiers in the trench got up one after another.

The same was true for King John. Although his hands gripping the steel gun were trembling slightly, he didn't feel scared. It seemed that the trembling was just a conditioned reflex.

The ground shook more violently, and the explosions became louder.

"Come on, damn it, come on! Today, someone will die here, but not us. Today, when the smoke clears, we will drink the blood of the enemy. Kill—"

"kill--"

The officer was the first to jump up and rushed out of the trench, and there were hundreds of soldiers behind him.

King John is a soldier of the third squadron, and his task is to hold the central defense line.

The moment he exited the energy barrier, deafening explosions came from all directions, as well as the screams of wounded soldiers and the roars of the enemy.

In front of the defense line, the enemy has occupied the surface position and is advancing towards the defense line.

In fact, that is not the real enemy, but the vanguard of the enemy, or the cannon fodder used to send them to death. They are a group of huge beasts!

The shells kept falling and exploded in the herd.

It's a pity that for those beasts with strong skin and thick flesh, the power of the shells is not great enough, and the severe pain caused by the injury will only drive the beasts mad.

"Hold your ground and never back down!"

The squadron leader entered the position first and fired at the approaching herd with the only machine gun.

Following the soldiers around him, King John also entered the position and began to shoot at the herd with his rifle.

This is not considered a battle, it can only be said to be mechanically repeating some actions, because the herd was not threatening before it charged.It was also a battle of life and death, for a herd of beasts could destroy everything, including the warrior's flesh, as soon as it approached.No one retreats, and there is no place for the soldiers to retreat, because behind them is the Fire Phoenix Fortress, which is the last stronghold on this planet and the basis for all fighters to survive.

This battle has lasted for ten days, and the war on this planet has been going on for ten years.

It is definitely a miracle to be able to persist on this barren planet for ten years without backup or even supplies. A man created by the greatest general of the Human Federation, that is, General Yu Hongyang, the commander of the Legion Miracle.It's a pity that he tried his best, but he could only stick to it for ten years.Although the federal military department has repeatedly promised to send reinforcements and provide combat supplies for the defenders, it has never been fulfilled. No spaceship from the Human Federation has arrived, and no reinforcements from the Human Federation have arrived.Just relying on the legion guarding this planet, that is, [-] officers and soldiers, to persist for a full ten years in the face of an enemy a hundred times stronger than oneself is already the limit.

As the fortresses distributed on this planet were captured and destroyed one by one by the enemy, all officers and soldiers including King John knew that the Fire Phoenix Fortress would be their last battlefield.Here they will line up and die when the final battle is fought.

It's just that none of the officers and soldiers regretted it, and none of them were afraid.

For all the soldiers of the Human Federation, death on the battlefield is the ultimate destination, because they have made mental preparations before putting on their uniforms.What's more, they are not fighting for themselves, but for all their relatives, all their friends, and all their compatriots, because without them fighting bloody battles on the front line, there will be no peace in the rear, and everyone they care about will suffer from the flames of war.

All this has been going on for 1000 years.

During these 1000 years, dozens of generations of the Human Federation have fought for survival.

Although we can only understand the past glory of the Human Federation in film and television works, books, and legends, this is enough for soldiers such as King John, because they all believe that as long as they can persist, sooner or later, the human race will Will once again be the master of the entire universe.They all know that the hero who once made mankind extremely powerful did not abandon his compatriots, but only left temporarily.As long as he returns to the Human Federation, all enemies that pose a threat to the Human Federation will kneel at his feet.So no matter whether it is King John or others, they persevere just to wait for his return, and wait for him to lead the Human Federation to dominate the universe again.

This is not just the hope of King John, but the hope of the entire Commonwealth of Mankind.

For King John, this hope is everything, and he is willing to give everything for this hope.

Of course, the hope for that powerful existence is not only related to education, but also has a deep-seated reason, but no one cares what it is, and no one even cares whether everything related to that powerful existence is real, because they are facing It is not a legend expressed in words, but a real enemy, an enemy who desperately wants to destroy the Human Federation and all human beings!

"Stop shooting, mount the bayonet, and prepare for close combat!"

Under the command of the squadron leader, the officers and soldiers adjusted the attack modes of their weapons one after another, and some elite fighters also took out melee weapons specially used for fighting.

At this point, the shelling had stopped.

Although the herd was huge, under the fierce shelling, none of the beasts reached the line of defense, and all of them fell down a hundred meters away from the line of defense.

However, this is only the prelude to the battle.

If there is anything about the Human Legion that scares the enemy, it is definitely the ferocious artillery fire.It can be said that in any battle, on any battlefield, as long as the legion is put into battle, the artillery strikes of the human legion are enough to make the enemy feel intimidated.This is the case, what the human legion is best at is defensive operations.As long as there is a strong fortress and enough places to deploy heavy artillery, the human legion can fight against enemies that are hundreds of times larger than itself.If the outer defense line is built in advance and fully deployed, the position of the human legion will be as strong as steel.It can be said that in the past 1000 years, the human legion relied on such a powerful defensive combat capability to resist the siege of many enemies.Although the jurisdiction of the Human Federation has been shrinking and one planet after another has fallen, the enemy has also paid a very heavy price for this. In almost all battles, the enemy's casualties are hundreds of times that of the human legion.

Unfortunately, there are simply too many enemies.

Although the human legion fought bloody battles and tens of thousands of soldiers followed suit, the human federation lost almost all the outer galaxies in the past 1000 years, but did not win a single counterattack, let alone regain the lost ground.In other words, everything the human legion did was actually just to buy time, or to delay the defeat.As for how long it can last, it is obviously not known to grassroots soldiers like King John.

On the battlefield, blue smoke appeared.

"Come on, damn it, come and die!"

Like other officers and soldiers, King John activated the energy protection system, and a thin energy barrier appeared, covering him.

This barrier is equivalent to armor, but it is extremely fragile like paper, unable to resist fatal attacks at all, and can only protect human officers and soldiers from being harmed by poisonous substances.More importantly, what maintains this barrier is a battery, to be precise, an energy storage, its capacity is extremely limited, even at the lowest power it can only work for a few hours, and it can run for half an hour at most in a combat state .As long as the energy is used up, even if it is not killed by the enemy, it will be poisoned to death by the poisonous gas released by the enemy.

The blue smoke is the poisonous gas released by the enemy.

Of course, this statement is not very accurate.Humans need oxygen, but the enemy does not. The enemy breathes a gas with a much lower oxygen content, and this gas contains a component that is highly toxic to humans, so as long as you inhale this gas, you will die. will die.However, it is not an immediate death.Hallucinations first, followed by loss of consciousness about ten seconds later, followed by general convulsions.If the mask cannot be put on within 30 seconds, it will be completely inactive due to nerve paralysis, and will eventually suffocate to death.In fact, in most cases, you will not die from suffocation, because the enemy will follow the poisonous gas, so as long as you lose consciousness, you will be killed by the enemy.

Not long after, the blue smoke spread to the vicinity of the trench.

This time, the squadron leader didn't roar, but rushed into the blue smoke silently, and the other soldiers did the same, none of them shouted loudly.

The key is that the enemy has no vision, but has extremely keen hearing.

As the officers and soldiers on the front rushed into the blue smoke, the shelling began again.However, the shells did not fall, and all exploded in the air.More importantly, these shells did not produce fragments to kill the enemy after the explosion, only a deafening explosion.

Obviously, this is the key.

In fact, the human legion was able to hold on for ten years, relying on this kind of shells.

Violent explosions cannot kill the enemy, but they can interfere with the enemy's hearing, making it impossible for the enemy to accurately grasp the situation on the battlefield, thereby creating opportunities for frontline officers and soldiers to approach and kill the enemy.Although the violent explosions had a certain impact on King John and other human fighters, they were neither serious nor fatal. At most, they only temporarily lost their hearing, and human fighters could still detect the enemy with their eyes.

This tactic has been tried and tested, and it works every time.

Of course, veterans like King John who have been fighting on this planet for ten years know what to do and how to kill the enemy.

After entering the blue smoke, King John completely calmed down, this is the experience of veterans.

All human fighters, including him, have only three and ten minutes.They must destroy all the enemies who attack within these 10 minutes.If it exceeds 10 minutes, they will either retreat or be poisoned to death, whichever they choose, they will lose their position.

So, can they defeat the enemy again in these three 10 minutes?
