Chapter six hundred and twenty-one Circuitous
"The ninth armored division out! The 10th armored division suffered heavy losses! Special engineering troops out! Preliminary estimate of the number of casualties is thousands! Brigadier General Aliyev, commander of the ninth armored division, was also killed! "
"Let all troops retreat fifteen … don’t retreat twenty kilometers!" Terence hissed, "Immediately let the information department establish a target data model to calculate the maximum attack range of the target-in addition, let the military fleet also raise its altitude and keep a distance of 10,000 meters from the target!"
The fusion tentacles of the giant erosion species extend more than ten kilometers in length, which means that it can attack a 10,000-meter-high warship with tentacles.
Of course, Terence knows clearly that letting the troops retreat now is equivalent to giving the initiative to the heretics … But if he doesn’t do this, I’m afraid the whole main force will be ruined by the fusion tentacle attack.
It never occurred to him that the heretical sects stopped the army’s offensive pace with a giant erosion species without the help of the defense facilities of the ancient copper city site and caused a heavy blow to the field corps
Counting the casualties of those troops who had previously invaded the war zone to attract tentacles had already exceeded 10,000 in less than an hour … You know, in the past five years, the number of people killed in the Field Army Corps Department has not reached five figures.
Terence clenched his fist for a second, and he realized that his palm was full of sweat-it would be a hard battle. Although he was psychologically prepared at the beginning, the difficulty of the battle greatly exceeded his expectation … Even in the first few years after the ark landed on Alpha Star, those who were recorded in the classic examples of military academy education never lost 10,000 people in one hour.
Don’t say whether you can win miserably … Terenz can’t see any hope of victory in the battlefield.
Those who voted against it … Terence glanced at the old lieutenant general nearby without trace … Maybe they were right.
This is a war that can’t be won. It’s a "must"-even if they do their best, they will achieve it.
But he’s a soldier. A soldier can order his troops to retreat 20 kilometers, but he can’t make them retreat to the ark and base-he’s the commander, but he doesn’t have the strength to end the battle.
Terenz didn’t have time to find a paper towel, just pulled up the corner of his coat, dried his sweaty palm and put his hands on the touch screen again.
"Let the heavy artillery units and the second fleet keep fire to contain the huge erosion. The surplus troops are divided into left and right wings to meet the 20 th and 27 th infantry divisions in the front battlefield."
He rarely "gambles" to command a battle, but this time he has to gamble.
If the heretical sect focuses its defense on the front of the site of the ancient copper city, and a few sniper troops are set up outside the city or there is no fighting force at all, then it will be considered that he won the bet, otherwise he will lose the game.
Terence hate that feeling of bet the outcome on uncertain events, but he can do it now.
It’s so urgent that they don’t even have a chance to conduct early reconnaissance-even if it’s a surprise attack, it’s definitely a taboo for military strategists …
"Why would the undead crew attack the site of the ancient copper city in such a hurry?" A question flashed through Terence’s mind, but it was immediately thrown out of his mind-he was a soldier, and he just needed to command the battle from orders, but other things were not what he needed to consider.
Even if it is a battle doomed to failure.
Shells, missiles, lasers, and pulp are constantly falling on the huge erosion seed. However, compared with its huge size, the trauma caused by these attacks is really insignificant. What’s more, in a few minutes, the limbs torn by shrapnel will heal, and the charred tissues burned by pulp will also fall off and recover themselves. Instead of becoming weak, the new limbs will grow layers of scaly hyperplasia tissues to protect the original injured areas.
This giant erosive species … it is undergoing evolution in battle, and the trauma will stimulate its body to adjust adaptively … so it will become stronger and stronger when it is hit.
The old saying that seems a bit vulgar is-"Anything that can’t kill it will make it stronger!"
Terence soon realized the problem and stopped the attack of heavy artillery and the second fleet.
For the first time since he graduated from the military academy with full marks and immediately joined the Field Corps, he felt regret about his command exercise-if there had just been no crystal bomb to lift the surface, it might not have caused such a significant change in the giant erosion species, and those fusion tentacles would not have appeared, and the ninth armored division would not have been wiped out at this point.
Losing the whole "ronin" team and adding more than 1000 soldiers to the death cost made the enemy stronger-this "exchange" was unacceptable to him.
"Don’t put active ammunition into suppression?" The old lieutenant general asked, "judging from the previous ronin squad attack, the active cells of carnivorous worms still have a very obvious restraint effect on this monster-although it is very strong, it still belongs to the common weakness of erosive species, a variant of which is common to erosive species."
"No," Terenz flatly refused. "We can’t wave precious resources into the battlefield. If the troops can penetrate into the ruins of the ancient copper city from two wings, they will directly face the enemies of heresy. I can’t let them fight the undead monsters with conventional weapons."
"That if this giant erosion species moves …"
