Chapter 698 (1/2)
While the Zerg forces were overwhelmed by explosions and bullets from high-rise buildings, some Marines began escorting human survivors who were hiding inside the building to the outside of the city. The rescue mission on the ground is progressing smoothly!
”No!” Commander Luo Hong frowned. It was because it was so smooth that he felt that there was something wrong with the Zerg. The Zerg's fighting power should not be so weak. He was dragged by his own few thousand infantry chariots and combat robots. If Zerg is this kind of fighting power, then they can't fight the Federation so badly!
”All troops shrink their defenses, give up fighting and return to the fleet!” Luo Hong hesitated for a moment, and finally gnawed his teeth and gave the order to retreat.
Hearing the commander's order to retreat, the crew in the bridge were shocked and cast a puzzled look at him. After all, the commander who advocated rescue at first, and the commander who chose to stay behind was their commander. Now the rescue operation is going so smoothly that it is about to succeed, but their commander says... Give up!
Luo Hong looked at the puzzled expressions of the people around him, and sighed in his heart. He knew that the order was a little abrupt for them. Although they would certainly carry out the order he issued in the end, after all, the duty of the soldiers was to obey the orders, but he knew that if they did not explain clearly, there would be doubts in their hearts, which would affect the morale of the officers and soldiers, so he started ”The operation is going too smoothly, and the Zerg's combat effectiveness will never be as low as they are now. If things go wrong, there will be demons. Who knows what the worms are plotting or hiding...
” let the landing craft return to the warship first, and then we can make a decision after we have a thorough investigation! ”
”Although it is very important to rescue the hostages, I will not gamble the lives of more than 100000 soldiers in order to rescue them!”
When the crew heard the words, they all sighed softly. People have their selfish side. In the face of danger, between unrelated people and their peers, they will definitely choose their own companions first. This is human nature.
They could not refute this reason, and the order to withdraw was quickly conveyed.
However, before the ground troops retreated, they still rescued more than 100000 people, which gave them some comfort.
When the landing boat carrying the hostages was about to return to the fleet, the water of a lake on land suddenly emptied, revealing a bottomless cave.
Next, Zerg warships burst out of the ground, and in the blink of an eye, thousands of Zerg warships have rushed into orbit.
When the cruisers in orbit were ready to dock with the landing craft, they were surrounded by dark Zerg warships.
”Come on! Stay away from the planet's orbit! Speed up! Keep your distance from the Zerg fleet Luo Hong knows that we can't confront the Zerg fleet. The enemy is strong and we are weak. We have to first preserve our strength, widen the distance from the Zerg fleet, and then find opportunities to annihilate each other. His strategy is not bad, but the reality is so cruel.
”More and more enemy ships! At present, it has exceeded 30000! The number is still increasing! ”
”That's a good calculation!” Luo Hong smashed the console hard, and was very upset.
This planet is actually a trap set by Zerg! Only a small number of Zerg troops are stationed on the surface of the planet, and 100 million human hostages are left as bait. This not only prevents the enemy's large army from washing the ground with missiles, but also misleads the enemy into thinking that there are only a small number of Zerg forces on the planet, so the number of warships left to rescue hostages will not be too large, but not too few. After the enemy's main fleet leaves, these will be hidden Zerg warships will come out and swallow up the enemy's warships to rescue the hostages. This will not only reduce the effective strength of the enemy's main fleet, but also cut off the enemy's rear path!
At this time, Luohong was eager to swallow their meat and drink their blood. It can be imagined that once the first fleet's access to new homeland star is cut off by the Zerg, it will not be the Zerg who will be making dumplings, but the fleet of their Andromeda development company!
”Strategic retreat! Go ahead and join the second fleet Rohun gritted his teeth and made this very difficult decision for him, because he knew that with their retreat, 100000 Marines on the planet's surface would be in danger of being left alone, but he had to. The strength of the enemy and the enemy is too great, 30000 to 100. Maybe a single Zerg warship is not as powerful as their cruisers, but the ants are more likely to kill the elephants. If they rush up, they will not be able to bite the teeth of insects. Although they will do some damage to the Zerg fleet, they will not be able to reverse the situation. At that time, the Marines on the ground will have to do the same Good.
But if they can join up with the second fleet, they will be able to counter attack with the second fleet, and the situation may be reversed by then.
Now just hope that the Zerg fleet will not be hidden on this planet any more.
