One Thousand Six Hundred and Ninety-Nine Saturation Attack

The piercing screams resounded in all directions. The heavy light insects locked by the shells had no time to dodge and were directly hit by the shells falling from the sky.

With a loud bang, the heavy light insects that had just been showing off their might disappeared.

This cannon blast was just the beginning. Then shells fell from the sky one by one, killing the heavy light insects in the insect swarm one by one. After a while, dozens of heavy light insects had been killed, and hundreds of other kinds of giant insects died in the explosion.

The number of heavy light insects was small, and they were not noticeable at all in the swarm of thousands of insects. The same was true for the falling shells, which fell into the insect swarm.

There were too many insects, and the explosion only caused a little ripple near the explosion point. If the distance was a little further, they would turn a blind eye to the explosion and turn a deaf ear to it.

I don’t know whether the explosion stimulated the nerves of the insects, or the insects had already prepared for the attack. The insect swarm suddenly moved and rushed towards Funing at a very high speed.

It may be because the heavy light bugs in the swarm were cleared by the shells. Without the drag of the heavy light bugs, the speed of the swarm was obviously faster, but due to the terrain in the north of Funing, the closer to Funing, the higher the density of the swarm.

The atmosphere in the Funing Command Center suddenly became tense, and the commander immediately ordered the heavy artillery brigade to prepare.

Soon after, the swarm approached the north of the city, and the time for shelling was ripe. At the commander's order, the heavy artillery brigade opened fire again, and dense shells fell into the swarm.

At this time, the swarm had entered the range of the heavy mortars, and some heavy mortars in the north of the city also joined the shelling. As the swarm got closer and closer, more and more mortars joined the shelling. The gunners used their skills to the extreme, and the shells were fired and fell at the same time. Xu Jin's barrage was like a copper wall and iron wall, rushing through the swarm, tearing apart all the giant insects that dared to approach.

The shelling lasted for a full half an hour, and the swarm was still unable to pass through the barrage. I don't know how many giant insects fell on the way to the charge.

After the bombardment, the battlefield was full of craters, corpses and broken limbs of giant insects, and dying giant insects could be seen everywhere.

The second round of the swarm's attack was directly crushed by the artillery, but the half-hour bombardment also consumed most of the ammunition of the heavy artillery brigade.

There were only so many shells, and one less shell was fired. If the swarm persisted for a while, the heavy artillery brigade would be in a dilemma of no shells available.

The situation of the 120 mortars in the north of the city was even more serious. Many of them had run out of shells. Only a few mortars farther away from the front could still retain some shells.

The images sent back by the drone showed that

After two consecutive rounds of attacks, the swarm in the north was still very large, and the third round of attacks could start at any time.

However, the heavy artillery brigade had few shells left, and the large-caliber shells could not be replenished in a short time. Several commanders quickly reached a consensus: the remaining artillery could no longer be wasted at will, and they had to wait until the critical moment to use them.

The rainstorm gradually subsided and turned into a drizzle. The swarm of insects stepped on the water on the ground and launched the third round of attack.

The soldiers in the position had already prepared for the battle. No one spoke and no one retreated. Everyone stayed in their positions and waited for the arrival of the swarm of insects silently.

Everyone already knew that there was no heavy artillery cover this time. The cruel reality was like a mountain pressing on the hearts of the soldiers, so heavy that it seemed that the air was about to solidify.

The swarm of insects broke through the night and appeared in the soldiers' field of vision, and then entered the rifle range. At the commander's order, everyone pulled the trigger at the same time. The entire defense line opened fire, and countless bullets flew head-on at the swarm of insects. The giant insects in the front were knocked down one by one by the dense bullets, but the giant insects behind still rushed up regardless.

The lethality of bullets is far inferior to that of artillery shells. The swarm of insects rushed closer and closer, and soon entered the range of the grenade launchers. The grenade launchers on the defense line fired together, and countless grenades fell on the front line of the swarm of insects, killing and wounding countless giant insects.

The giant insects were not vegetarians either. After they rushed to a certain distance, they suddenly spit bone spurs at the human positions. The sharp bone spurs instantly crossed a distance of more than 100 meters. Most of the bone spurs missed and only hit the wall near the shooting hole.

However, the power of this thing is really not weak. Each bone spur drilled deeply into the wall, at least one-third, and some even reached one-half!

Only a very small number of bone spurs directly hit the shooting hole, but each bone spur that hit penetrated the body of the defenders, bringing up a burst of blood rain.

Just as the two sides were fighting fiercely, a group of heavy light insects appeared behind the charging swarm of insects. Their steps were heavy and slow. As soon as they appeared, they aimed at the firepower points on the human positions and fired.

Light flashed, and more than a dozen firepower points were destroyed with just one round of volleys.

This scene was sent back to the command center by a loyal drone. Faced with this situation, no one mentioned saving shells. The command center immediately ordered the heavy artillery brigade: destroy the heavy light bugs at all costs!

So the artillery brigade's artillery fired again, and the shells flew over half of Funing and hit the heavy light bugs behind the swarm.

The situation on the battlefield at this time was very delicate. The defenders, giant bugs, heavy light bugs and heavy artillery each had their own goals and tasks.

Faced with this scene, many commanders felt that they were not dealing with the swarm, but the human armored cluster, and the armored cluster with particularly strong anti-missile capabilities!

The heavy light bug is like a tank, and the giant bug is like an armored vehicle. The two complement each other, which is exactly the same as the human armored assault tactics.

Due to the special tactics of the giant bug, the human steel torrent has not appeared on the battlefield, and the aliens cannot get inspiration from the battlefield.

But with so many humans in the hands of aliens, and so many transformed into Zergmen, the aliens could not have left the ready-made resources unused. They must have learned all kinds of human tactics from the Zergmen long ago.

So it is not surprising that the aliens developed the coordinated tactics of light and heavy giant insects.

The number of heavy light insects is more than expected. When one dies, one is replenished. Until the heavy artillery brigade runs out of ammunition, the drone can still see dozens of heavy light insects.

The Funing Command Center is deeply aware that the light weapons in the position cannot stop the Zerg swarm. It is necessary to create opportunities for the defenders to crush the third round of Zerg attacks.

But how to create opportunities?

The commanders quickly reached a consensus: saturation attack!

It took only a few minutes for the command center to come up with a battle plan and immediately report it to Beidu.

Soon after, the saturation attack began. With Funing City as the center, the heavy artillery units within a radius of hundreds of kilometers received combat orders from Beidu at the same time. Each unit immediately adjusted the firing parameters and fired in the north direction of Funing according to the order and time in the order.
