Chapter 343 Hydrogen Bombing!
A flash of pain flashed across Wu Tongfa's eyes, the commander of the 114th fleet. But he quickly concealed the pain.
"Hold on, die... never retreat!"
Firepower point No. 9 corresponds to a very large lava lake. It is estimated that there are more than 50,000 lava beasts active in the lava lake.
The lava beasts relied on the lava lake to launch a fierce attack on the human fleet in the corresponding part, trying to open a gap from here and break through the firepower network of the human fleet. After that, they can use this as a support to disrupt the formation of the human fleet and take the initiative in the battle.
The human side obviously also noticed the intention of the lava beasts. As a result, this part became the focus of the two sides.
One side desperately attacked, and the other side desperately suppressed.
The responsibility of Wu Tongfa's fleet was to hold firepower point No. 9.
But facing the desperate attack of the lava beasts, his fleet had suffered great casualties. He asked for support from the rear, but he didn't expect that not only was there no support, but he had to continue to hold on.
Then hold on!
The soldiers looked numb, as if they had lost their fear of death and the sadness of their comrades’ death.
The fierce battle continued. Two days later, Tan Jinlong received a message from Wu Tongfa.
"Commander, the position is about to fall, and we are no longer able to hold on."
The next moment, the communication was interrupted. And it was obvious that this was not cut off actively, but forcibly disconnected.
This means that the warship where Wu Tongfa was located is very likely to be destroyed.
114 fleets have been annihilated.
Tan Jinlong's eyes were still cold, without any emotional fluctuations. He picked up the communicator and said coldly: "66 fleets go to garrison the No. 9 firepower point, and be sure to maintain fire suppression."
"Yes."
The No. 9 firepower point has become a meat grinder, both for lava beasts and humans.
The importance of the No. 9 firepower point makes it impossible for the human side to give up. But the overall battlefield situation makes Lu Xinghe unable to dispatch more combat power.
In this case... let's fill it with human lives.
Treat people and warships as consumables, use them to fill this meat grinder, use them to delay time, and delay until the overall battlefield situation changes.
Luo Hongshan, commander of the 66th fleet, is very clear about this situation.
This is a mission that is doomed to fail. When receiving the order from the superior, the fate of all officers and soldiers of the 66th fleet has been doomed.
But he still did not hesitate at all. After receiving the order, he immediately began preparations.
The captains and soldiers under him also did not hesitate at all.
The 66th fleet rushed to the No. 9 firepower point.
Half a month later, Tan Jinlong received the last message from Luo Hongshan.
"We are no longer able to hold on. It is expected that within one day, our army will be wiped out. Please send a follow-up fleet to take over."
"Received."
Tan Jinlong said in a low voice, was silent for two seconds, and said in a deep voice: "Goodbye."
"Goodbye."
After ending the call, he issued another order.
"245 fleets go to garrison fire point No. 9 and be sure to maintain fire suppression."
"Yes."
After the 245 fleets, there are 339 fleets, and then 189 fleets...
Fleet after fleet is thrown into this meat grinder by the commanders as fuel, consumables, and consumables. No matter how fierce the attack of the lava beasts is, no matter how many troops are invested in this direction, they have never been able to open a gap.
The brutal battle lasted for more than two years. Facing the fearless lava beasts and the waves of attacks that seem to never stop like a tide, the human system is not in chaos at all, and they do not retreat a step. No matter how many attacks there are, they will take them all.
Han Yang was amazed by the fighting will of the soldiers.
I thought that without my secret support, it would be difficult to complete my overall plan by relying solely on people's flesh and blood to fight. It is not only difficult, but it is likely to fail completely.
But Han Yang has no choice, and civilization has no choice. Facing this dead end, I can only do this.
But now, the tenacity shown by the soldiers made Han Yang more confident.
"As long as there is enough time for such a civilization to develop, who can defeat it?"
The brutal battle continued. One day later, after another wave of fierce attacks was repelled by humans, and the strong suppression of Planet No. 1 was still maintained, the fierce offensive firepower and rapid killing were maintained, and people had begun to prepare for the next wave of attacks from the lava beasts - hasn't it been like this for the past few years?
Wave after wave, the attacks from the lava beasts never stop.
But...
This time the situation seems to be different.
After this wave of attacks was repelled, the lava beasts seemed to suddenly quiet down.
The rain of bullets from the planet's near-Earth space and the surface stopped at the same time at this moment. The entire planet returned to silence in an instant, and there was no trace of any lava beasts on the surface.
It was as if this planet was just an ordinary planet.
All the remaining lava beasts had drilled deep underground.
The soldiers looked at each other.
At the headquarters, Commander Lu Xinghe stood up suddenly, his eyes flashing with excitement.
Has this day finally come?
"We...won!"
"The mid-term strategy is complete!"
At this moment, the unspeakable excitement was revealed on the faces of the soldiers, logistics personnel, captains and commanders of all sizes, which seemed to have been frozen by numbness and coldness.
At this moment, countless people began to cheer, countless people began to shout, and countless people hugged each other tightly.
After years of fighting to the death, years of fierce fire suppression and mass casualties, the fighting will of the human fleet finally completely and thoroughly overwhelmed the lava beasts.
At this moment, the lava beasts, known for their fierce fighting and fearlessness, were terrified, scared, and hid!
After paying the price of more than 300,000 lava beasts being killed, the remaining lava beasts finally dared not fight with humans!
At this moment, some people in the Luotu civilization who were secretly paying attention to the battlefield situation could not help but start to marvel.
Regardless of the level of technology, the combat power of the warships, and everything else, just talking about the fighting will, these humans... I am afraid that they can rank at the forefront of the entire galaxy!
This small third-level civilization is really amazing...
Subsequent exploration shows that all the remaining lava beasts have drilled into the ground of the planet at this moment.
Lava beasts have a talent for digging holes. Otherwise, they would not be able to penetrate the crust and dig out the magma deep underground.
At this moment, they have penetrated dozens or even thousands of kilometers below the surface, using the thick planetary rock layer as cover and armor, hiding there.
Later, the human fleet began to bombard the surface of Planet No. 1, even flattening the mountains. But the lava beasts hidden deep underground are like playing tricks, and still refuse to come out.
Under Lu Xinghe's order, super-large hydrogen bombs began to be thrown at this planet without cost.
In normal battles, hydrogen bombs are almost impossible to be delivered to the surface of the planet because of their large size and heavy weight. At this moment, all the lava beasts are hiding, so there is naturally no obstacle.
Groups of mushroom clouds rose into the sky. Under the continuous bombing of hydrogen bombs, the continental plates of Planet No. 1 were almost shattered. Almost endless earthquakes and volcanoes began to erupt, and the geological activities of the entire planet began to become active.
But even so, the lava beasts hidden deep underground still refused to come out.
No matter how powerful the hydrogen bomb is, it is still too weak compared to the entire planet, and it is almost impossible to affect hundreds or thousands of kilometers underground.
Hiding underground, even if the surface of the planet is turned upside down, you can sleep peacefully.
We can't beat you humans, we won't fight, we hide, see what else you can do!
Faced with this almost rogue warfare, there is really no good way for the third-level civilization. But it doesn't matter, this was originally part of Lu Xinghe's mid-term strategy.
The main strategic goal of the mid-term strategy was to drive all the lava beasts into the underground of the planet and dare not come out.
Now that this goal has been achieved, it's time to carry out the late-stage strategy.
At this moment, on the No. 43 satellite, after more than 100 million engineers and workers have worked hard for more than ten years, more than 300,000 planetary thrusters have been built and have begun to work.
In the vast space, on one side of the No. 43 satellite, more than 300,000 beams point directly to the space, like more than 300,000 sharp swords.
Under the influence of the powerful thrust of the planetary thrusters, the entire planet has truly entered the peak of geological activity. Volcanoes and earthquakes are frequent, and even the appearance of the entire planet has changed to a certain extent.
It is no longer a sphere, but begins to flatten and become an ellipsoid, just like a balloon being squeezed.
However, because the subsequent impact was taken into account at the beginning of construction, the more than 300,000 planetary thruster bases and the supporting fusion power plants have not been affected much.
The few that are damaged will be repaired immediately.
This satellite, which has a mass of about 26% of the moon, has become more and more flat in orbit around Planet No. 4 under the propulsion of more than 300,000 planetary thrusters.
Finally, when it reached the highest point of the orbit, Satellite 43 broke free from the gravitational field of Planet 4 and began to fly towards the inner star system according to the orbit expected by humans.
More than 300,000 planetary thrusters still did not stop working and were still exerting huge thrust on it. As a result, the speed of this planet became faster and faster.
And according to the current orbit, in three years, Satellite 43 will reach the orbit of Planet 1 and then collide with it.
This is the later strategy of the human fleet in this mission, and it is also the last and most important strategy.
"During these three years, you lava beasts should hide underground..." (End of this chapter)
