Interstellar Soldier

Chapter 163 Overcome the enemy and win
What he saw and heard made Yang Yi firm in his previous thoughts.Passive defense is definitely a dead end, the only way is to take the initiative to attack, disrupt the enemy's offensive deployment, and buy more time.The Prometheus star has irreplaceable strategic value, the first theater will not sit idly by, and the reinforcements that stick to the first theater will be considered a victory.It's just that Yang Yi hasn't figured out how to launch a counterattack yet.

Discuss with Shen Chengwen and the others, maybe they can come up with a solution.

Thinking of this, Yang Yi walked out of the bunker.

Outside, Karl was arranging tasks for several officers and soldiers.Nothing serious, just keep them on their toes and not let their guard down.

"How is it?" Shen Chengwen came over, and Jackson followed.

Yang Yi shook his head and said: "It's too bad, the garrison was able to hold the line of defense, not because of their strong combat power, but because the enemy didn't launch a decent attack at all."

"So, we have to fix the problem here first."

Yang Yi frowned, and looked at Shen Chengwen.

"After we figure out the enemy's deployment situation, let's discuss it. If necessary, fight a counterattack first, so that the enemy cannot launch a large-scale attack in a short period of time." Shen Chengwen took a long breath and said, "No matter what, this The military base must be defended. If the garrison cannot defend the base after we leave, even if the Antarctic base does not fall, our actions on Prometheus will be meaningless."

Yang Yi nodded slightly, expressing that he understood what Shen Chengwen meant.

At this time, Carl came over.

Although only one fortress was inspected, the situation on the entire defense line was similar. There was no need to go to other places, so Yang Yi decided to return to the command center.

At this time, the battle started.

The attack came very suddenly. After Colonel Carl raised the alarm, Yang Yi, Shen Chengwen and Jackson reacted.After they got into the bunker, the shells roared and fell down.The shelling lasted 15 minutes, and the explosions came and went, never stopping.

"Don't worry, just wait."

Karl stopped Yang Yi and the others and asked them to stay in the bunker.

After a short period of calm, the bombardment started again, and the explosion was even more violent, and the ground was shaking violently, as if what fell were not shells, but huge stones.

Yang Yi noticed that Karl and other officers and soldiers of the garrison were very calm and were checking their weapons and equipment.

Although he was a soldier, Karl still picked up an electromagnetic gun and loaded it with armor-piercing bullets.Several other officers and soldiers carefully checked the protective clothing on their bodies after checking the electromagnetic gun.Shen Chengwen handed an electromagnetic gun to Yang Yi, and Jackson also picked up an electromagnetic gun.

Because of the casualties of many officers and soldiers, the garrison does not lack individual weapons.

"Remember, head first, aim before shooting, and try to save ammunition." Carl reminded.Actually, this was for Yang Yi and the others. "After repelling the enemy's first wave of attack, retreat to the rear line of defense, don't delay, there is no need to fight the enemy desperately."

After a while, the enemy's second round of shelling ended.

This round of shelling lasted only about 5 minutes. Although the explosion was more violent, there were significantly fewer shells dropped, and the shelling area was much narrower.

"Ready? Kill!"

Karl rushed out first, followed by several officers and soldiers guarding the fortress, but Yang Yi, Shen Chengwen and Jackson were behind.

After rushing out of the bunker, Yang Yi was dumbfounded, because the situation on the battlefield was completely different from what he had guessed before.

The enemy has already attacked, to be precise, it has smashed over.In the initial bombardment, not all shells fell, but most of them were vehicles used for airdrops.When Yang Yi rushed out of the bunker, these vehicles had already been opened, and hundreds of enemies filed out.

"Da da da……"

Karl opened fire first, and the dense rain of bullets immediately enveloped the nearest vehicle, smashing dozens of humanoid rock demons who hadn't had time to rush out into a sieve.However, Karl's marksmanship is extremely precise. Although he has been shooting, every shot hits the enemy's head accurately.

Obviously, this is the strength of Zhanbing.

Compared with ordinary soldiers, in addition to possessing the original energy converter, soldiers have extremely strong close combat effectiveness, and also have faster reaction speed.Theoretically, the reaction speed of an eighth-level soldier is thousands of times that of an ordinary soldier, that is, the reaction time required to make an action is only one-thousandth of that of an ordinary soldier.More importantly, Karl has a tenth-level original body, because he uses an A-level original energy converter, so he only has the combat power of an eighth-level soldier.

At this time, Yang Yi finally understood why Karl used the electromagnetic gun.

Although with the combat power of a soldier, Karl can definitely rush up and kill those humanoid rock demons, but using an electromagnetic gun can destroy the enemy faster.

Against hundreds of enemies, speed is everything.

"Da da da……"

"Da da da……"

"Da da da……"

……

Several officers and soldiers guarding the fort followed Karl, forming a skirmish line, and opened fire on those enemies who were not killed by Karl.

Although the marksmanship of these officers and soldiers was not comparable to that of Karl, they were all good, and they could kill an enemy every time they fired.

At this time, Yang Yi noticed that the airdrop vehicles were actually some huge rocks, and they were also very common landing craft in the Silicon Magic Alliance.This egg-shaped vehicle with a diameter of about 100 meters can carry a thousand humanoid rock demons at a time, and ten vehicles can deliver a legion of humanoid rock demons.

Of course, these vehicles are single use.

"Damn, it's exciting!"

"Da da da……"

Shen Chengwen roared and joined the battle.

"kill!"

Jackson also became excited, and followed Shen Chengwen to kill him.

Like Carl, both used electromagnetic guns.It's not that their combat power is not enough, but it's more refreshing to use electromagnetic guns to shoot at the enemy.

"kill!"

Yang Yi didn't talk any more, and rushed up following Shen Chengwen and Jackson.

The appearance of three warriors made this battle without any suspense.In a blink of an eye, the humanoid rock demon that fell into the vehicle less than 200 meters away from the bunker was wiped out.Since the vehicle is damaged upon landing and cannot be used again, there is no need to destroy it.

But, this is just a vehicle.

Although killing a thousand humanoid rock demons in one go, it's not worth showing off at all, because the enemy threw ten vehicles near the bunker!

When Yang Yi and the others killed the humanoid rock demon in this vehicle, the enemies in the other nine vehicles had already formed a phalanx.

"Don't fight recklessly, fight while withdrawing!"

Hearing Karl's shout, Yang Yi gave up the idea of ​​charging, Shen Chengwen and Jackson also retreated, and followed Karl and other officers and soldiers to retreat to the rear.

Yang Yi was a little puzzled, not understanding why Karl was so vigilant.

In the Silicon Charm Alliance, humanoid rock demons are just ordinary and equally important. Their status and nature are similar to those of human legions, and they often need to rely on numbers to win.Although the other [-] humanoid rock demons have formed a phalanx, Yang Yi and the others are all soldiers, and it is not a problem at all to kill the nine humanoid rock demons in the phalanx.

"Follow me!"

Under Karl's order, the officers and soldiers guarding the fort retreated first, while Yang Yi and the other three stayed with Karl to stop the advancing humanoid rock demon.

This is also too useless.

After retreating less than 200 meters, there was a strange whistling sound in the air, and then dense shells fell down.

It is indeed a shell, and it is a shell filled with liquid magma.Obviously, unless they hit directly, these shells pose no threat to silicon-based life forms such as humanoid rock demons.This is a shell specially used to deal with carbon-based life, and the high-temperature magma can burn human soldiers to death in an instant.

The shelling was very violent, and the shells fell like raindrops.

"Run!"

Carl ran up first, Yang Yi and the other three dared not hesitate, and hurriedly ran.

Carl didn't stop until he ran near the back line of defense.

At this moment, Yang Yi looked back and suddenly understood.

At the beginning, if you did not retreat, but launched an attack with the strength of the soldiers, you would be bombarded.Although they would not die from being hit by shells, even soldiers would be inconvenient in the intensive shelling, and then besieged by hundreds of humanoid rock demons.

Obviously, there is no point in fighting back, and you will still be beaten back in the end.

If it is not a soldier, but an ordinary soldier, counterattack is death.There is no doubt that Karl and the others have suffered before and know the enemy's offensive tactics like the back of their hands.

Moreover, the bombardment was not just to destroy the defenders on the defensive line.

When Yang Yi and the others retreated to the second line of defense, the shelling was still going on, and the shelling area was on the advancing route of the humanoid rock demon army, and the shells always fell within hundreds of meters in front of the humanoid rock demon phalanx. Inside.In other words, the enemy is using this method to open the way for the humanoid rock devil phalanx, so that the area where the humanoid rock devil is located will always maintain a high temperature, and will not lose its ability to move due to low temperature.

As long as the shelling continues, the humanoid rock magic phalanx can advance to the second line of defense.

Then what to do?
Yang Yi looked back and saw that Karl was communicating with the rear, as if he was giving orders to the troops behind.

Is there a back-up?

Yang Yi immediately thought that Karl and the others had repelled dozens of enemy attacks, and they knew the enemy's offensive routines well, so they must have a way to repel the enemy.

More than ten minutes later, the nine humanoid rock magic phalanx advanced to a place about 1000 meters away from the second line of defense.

It was at this time that the defenders counterattacked.

Not an attack, but long-range artillery support.

When the shells fired by the heavy artillery fell, Yang Yi laughed and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

What the heavy artillery projected was not shells used to kill the enemy, but special shells filled with liquid gas.Although the power of these shells is very limited and cannot kill the enemy at all, the liquid gas inside will leak out when they fall, causing the temperature of the surrounding environment to drop sharply.

"It seems that the defenders still have some solutions."

Yang Yi glanced at Shen Chengwen, nodded slightly, and at the same time got ready for battle.

On the front line, dozens of defenders are ready to fight.The shelling opened the prelude to the counterattack, and the next step was to completely destroy the enemy.
