I, Superman, the Supreme Commander

Chapter 296: Deciding on the Adventure Battlefield 1

Hope Corps Headquarters.

The supreme commanders held an emergency meeting.

The number of participants was reduced by half compared to the previous time.

Either they have sacrificed themselves or they are currently in fierce battle and unable to extricate themselves.

The meeting was still chaired by Commander-in-Chief Kratos.

"Everyone."

Kratos looked tired, with bloodshot eyes.

“We have to find a way to gain a strategic advantage.”

The supreme commanders were all injured to varying degrees, and they looked at the battle statistics report in front of them with serious expressions.

Great Sage Clark said: "According to the current trend, our troops can only hold out for one to two weeks at most, and then Melinoe will be completely lost."

Kratos emphasized.

"I can't follow the enemy's rhythm. We can't win a war of attrition. We must achieve victory by surprise!"

"It sounds like you already have an idea... Tell me, Lao Kui, what do you want to do?"

Kratos took a deep breath.

With a wave of his hand, many red dots appeared on the projection of the planet Melinoe in front of everyone.

"My idea is, the decapitation plan."

"Now, our space forces are being entangled by enemies that are several times their number, and are unable to provide fire support to ground forces. On the contrary, the enemy's reinforcements can be continuously deployed."

"We don't have many powerful long-range weapons left..."

"Our troop replenishment speed is far slower than the enemy's..."

"We must eliminate the enemy's numerical advantage in a short period of time!"

"The only way is to win by surprise!"

Kratos' plan was simple, even crude.

That is to launch a sudden attack on the enemy commander and combat hub, eliminate the enemy command, and paralyze the enemy's center.

Then, while the enemy is in massive chaos, we will destroy a large number of their manpower.

The same alien troops, with or without command, with or without coordination, will fight in completely different ways.

It's like the difference between being united and being a pile of loose sand.

After a few seconds of silence, a legion commander sighed and said, "In that case, I'm afraid we'll have to be prepared to sacrifice a large number of our elite troops."

Decapitation operations must utilize a large number of cutting-edge combat forces to complete.

These elite troops who carry out decapitation operations deep behind enemy lines are likely to be in great danger after completing their mission.

It's completely a suicide squad.

"There is no other way. War is a treacherous art."

"We don't have enough hard power, so we can only take risks!"

"I agree with this plan!"

"I agree!"

"I suggest launching a large-scale counterattack to confuse the enemy before the decapitation operation."

"Just do it!"

After everyone expressed their opinions, the supreme commanders quickly reached a consensus.

And quickly determined the detailed combat plan.

……

On the scorched earth plain, smoke and dust rolled, and a pale torrent surged.

Those were densely packed Tyranid soldier bugs moving quickly. They had pale exoskeletons, blood-red joints, and their limbs transformed into sharp blades, spears, guns, and cannons.

The fastest ones running in the front are the knife worms. They are as swift as cheetahs and as cunning as wolves.

The knife worms are commanded by Tyranid warriors, who are like tigers among wolves.

Slightly slower in speed but larger in size and with thick shells are the various Tyranid beasts, which are equivalent to armored vehicles and tanks in human troops.

It carries various living cannons, or is itself a battering ram.

Screeching through the sky were gargoyles and sky demons, as well as the aerial warriors who commanded them. They coordinated the ground forces' attacks by dropping biological bombs, parasitic spores, spiked shells, etc.

When engaging in aerial combat, these air units also like to use hand-to-hand combat to eliminate the enemy.

In the middle and later stages of the swarm, there are long-range units such as gun worms and artillery worms, which fire well-known spore shells, biochemical plasma, and split parasites. In addition to direct killing, they can also use projectiles to launch a large number of small soldier worms to the target position, such as rodent wasps and parasitic locust swarms.

In addition, there are various special units in the Zerg army.

For example, brain worms that can exert mind control and use mental attacks.

A poisonous fog bug that can spread poisonous fog over a large area.

Snakes and insects that burrow into the ground to attack.

A suicide bomber that uses self-destruction to attack.

A spirit sucker that specifically restrains psychic targets.

As well as various strange-shaped insects that evolved temporarily according to the needs of the battlefield.

The mighty Zerg army spread out, covering the entire wilderness, with no end in sight.

It stretches endlessly like a flowing flood.

This Zerg army had just wiped out an Orc army and was marching quickly towards a human fortress two hundred kilometers away.

Suddenly, a whistling artillery fire came from all directions and landed among the Zerg troops.

Wherever a shell falls, a vacuum area of ​​varying sizes appears after the explosion.

The soldier insects within a radius of tens or even hundreds of meters from the landing point were torn to pieces by the shock wave of the explosion.

However, the vacuum area formed by the explosion was filled with the flowing insect tide in the blink of an eye, and it did not seem to decrease at all.

A huge missile fell vertically from the sky at dozens of times the speed of sound, hitting the Zerg commander, the Tyranid Tyrant, in the center of the Zerg sea.

A huge white fireball suddenly burst into the wilderness, engulfing an area several kilometers wide.

The expanding ball of light slowly rose like a sun, forming a huge mushroom cloud.

It dissipated and a semicircular purple film of light appeared at the center of the explosion.

Under the light film, the Tyranid Tyrant and a large number of high-level soldier insects were safe and sound.

Thousands of strange soldier insects that are as big as hills and look like jellyfish are floating in the air, releasing a powerful energy field and forming a shield together.

Resisted the enemy's bombing.

As for the attacks of those "small-caliber" artillery, they could only kill a few thousand cannon fodder soldier insects at a time with small explosions. These jellyfish soldier insects simply didn't bother to activate their shields to block them.

The Zerg army, with hundreds of millions of soldiers, does not care at all about the millions or tens of millions of casualties caused by the enemy's long-range bombing.

As long as the Tyranid Tyrant, who serves as the command node, is fine.

Besides, this is just a "small group" of Zerg troops attacking the human fortress.

Three hours later.

After enduring several artillery attacks, the Zerg force arrived at its destination with its number reduced by one third.

The remaining 300 million soldier bugs immediately launched an attack on the human fortress under the command of Tyranid Tyrannosaurus.

And before them, other troops had already attacked.

The war fortress of mankind is a huge steel city standing on the plain.

The length and width span exceeds two hundred kilometers.

It is basically a regular circle, divided into several annular areas, forming multiple lines of defense.

Each area is blocked by towering steel walls, which are equipped with turrets and energy generating devices that emit energy to form an energy field covering the city.

It's like putting many layers of covers on the city.

After several days of fighting, the outermost layers of shields have been breached and the shield system has been destroyed.

At this time, only the last two layers of chaos in the innermost two rings remained.

In the center of the city, you can clearly see a device like an energy core and a signal tower, radiating huge energy.

It seems to be the energy center of the entire fortress.

It was laid out so nakedly in front of the enemy, as if afraid that no one would notice it.

At this time, although the outer ring's energy shield was broken, the outermost ring that served as a shelter and barrier was almost flattened and turned into ruins.

It's not even a ruin, it's almost been razed to the ground.

However, there are still a large number of human troops and heavy weapons deployed in the sub-outer ring area that has lost its shield, and they are struggling to resist the enemy's attack through street fighting and melee.

Unless an entire building or an entire block is physically flattened.

Otherwise, the human defenders will try every means to retake the position through tunnels, airdrops, etc.

Make full use of your fortifications and drag your enemies into a brutal tug-of-war.

It is precisely with this style of play.

Relying on the city's steel buildings and the walls built with the flesh and blood of soldiers, humans were able to block the endless attacks from enemies that were several times larger than themselves.

It has lasted until now.
