Chapter 725 Dongshan Defense Line: Rescue

==========
"In order to rescue the [-] survivors, even sacrificing everyone is worth it, but giving up the defensive advantage is nothing!"

"Under that situation, as a rational staff officer, how could we give up the superior defense line and cause more than 100 people to die in danger in order to rescue more than 2 people? Leaving the defense line is just to give the enemy an illusion. Otherwise, Everyone just needs to think about it, even if we break through, we can't give up the advantage of the sky and choose the ground, right?"

This is after the war, when some journalists interviewed the members of the Third Combat Group Command, the two staff officers made different speeches. Although there may be differences between cautious and passionate, these speeches all point to the same result, that is, the troops finally chose Get off the line.

However, when the time went back to the early morning of that day, in fact, few people really thought about these things.

At this moment, most of the commanders are just thinking about how to complete the rescue as much as possible in the crisis moment when the ammunition is almost exhausted, hundreds of people are waiting for rescue, and the Zerg advantage is becoming more and more obvious. Just leave the fight.

In fact, at that time, the command even mixed rescue operations with breakout operations, accidentally discovering new paths.

At the same time that the Zerg commander received the discovery of an unknown energy body, the rescue force that rushed out of the passage had already started operations.

First of all, gather the recovered energy bodies from the rescue force and survivors. A total of 70 people will quickly change into the original shape of the winged people. In addition to more than 20 other winged people, all of them will discard heavy equipment such as armor and weapons. People' carried two original people, or three Dunjia people, or two Moon spirit people, or mixed members of equal weight, and swaggered up the cliff under the watchful eyes of the Zerg.

The Zerg troops on the ground, in order to give the friends the illusion of "breakout troops", retreated nearly a thousand meters self-righteously, but it facilitated the friends' operation this time.

The Zerg, which was already at the limit of its range, retreated a thousand meters, and it was far behind the friend troops who used the wingman air rescue. Under the order of the angry Zerg commander, even if they responded quickly and approached the wreckage area, But he could only see that his attack fell below the energy bodies that were constantly rising.

As for the nearest excavator troop, at most they could only expose their heads from the cliff, but they were quickly killed by the two warships that had landed at 500 meters and the powerful energy bodies.

This is exactly what the energy bodies are here for.

Since it is impossible to directly enter the ground, ground and sky to perform landing rescue, and the Zerg presumptuously provided the Friends with a whole night to integrate the survivors, it is impossible for the Friends not to accept the kindness of the Zerg commander.

Therefore, it is the best choice to directly use the smaller energy body of the target to take people away through floating flight.

In fact, it is better to use the Youshen class for this plan.

However, the floating turret protected by Youshen is the most important part of the Dongshan defense line. Once Youshen leaves, the fort that loses the defense of the Psychic Mask will not allow the Zerg commander to discover Youshen's actions, because the friends judge that the Zerg should not Knowing that the psychic shield of the floating turret was provided by Youshen; but the floating turret without the protection provided by Youshen is likely to be overwhelmed by a large number of Zerg, and after being shot down, it will directly lead to the loss of the entire defense line.

Even if the survivors are successfully rescued by then, the Pengzu will have already suffered heavy casualties, and the gains outweigh the losses.

But now, at least on the surface, the more than 60 energy bodies that have been drawn out will not cause the army's combat power to drop drastically.

At the same time, they can rely on strength second only to the Youshen class and stronger than the Zerg advanced arms to complete the rescue mission, which of course became the main choice of the staff.

The altitude of 500 meters is not high or low, if it is just a single energy body, there is no problem at all flying over 500 meters, and even if you want to, you can reach 7 meters.However, after the rescue team carried many members, it took six to seven minutes to fly [-] meters. Among them, ordinary wingmen were also willing to carry it, but the main thing was to avoid Zerg interference.

Immediately upon arrival, the troops filed in through the open entrances of the two warships.

As for the digging worms on the cliff that still wanted to interfere, what was left for them was the shells of the two rescue ships.

At this time, the Zerg sky troops who reacted were still blocked by the assault troops who came to rescue.

Although the combat power has shrunk by nearly half due to the loss of four assault ships of the Sky Force, it still provides enough time for the survivors to reach the fleet.

In the distance, the Pengzu ground assault force, which gave the Zerg a sense of counterattack and breakout, after receiving a new order from the headquarters because the survivors returned to the fleet, several hundred assault vehicles moved forward at a speed of less than 10 kilometers per hour. On the way to "charge", suddenly accelerate to at least 50 kilometers, and then make a "U" turn in a uniform manner.

The convoy turned its muzzle to continue attacking the swarm of insects in the distance, and at the same time smoothly rushed back to the defense line along the mountain road.

But this time, the soldiers in the convoy did not enter the fortresses on the line of defense again, but drove the assault vehicle, led the soldiers waiting along the way, and rushed into the cabin along the entrance of the cargo ship, leaving only After finding something wrong, the Zerg troops who were planning to attack with all their strength raised a pile of dust.

The swarm under the command of the deeply deceived Zerg commander no longer had the conservative idea of ​​"drawing the opponent out and attacking them", and directly launched the strongest force to attack the defense line, intending to solve all problems in one go. .

But at this time, the initiative of the battle began to change hands, and the fleet protected by land defense ran away. Although there was still the task of protecting the cargo fleet, it was at least much more flexible than in defensive wars.

This greatly liberated the combat effectiveness of the floating fleet.

The floating troops, who were also prepared for the Zerg's reaction, quickly controlled the floating turrets and capital ships to wrap the cargo ship. After shrinking the line of defense, they completely abandoned the line of defense and retreated to 2000 meters above the top of the mountain.

While the floating cargo ship was lifted into the air little by little, the main fleet towed the floating turret again, while the remaining assault fleet rushed forward regardless of the danger, delaying the attack time of the Zerg sky troops.

At 6:11, all the troops on the Dongshan defense line had retreated back to the cargo ships, and six floating cargo ships had also lifted off from the 200-meter-high Dongshan mountain to the 500-meter fleet airspace.

Everything is ready, the fleet has escaped from the siege of the Zerg, the survivors have also been rescued by the rescue force, and returned to the main fleet with the two warships.

It seems that the third combat group has finally been liberated.

But is it really that simple?

Whether it is the Zerg or the Friends, they have lost too much in this seemingly simple defensive battle, and judging from the current situation, neither of them has the idea of ​​​​ending the battle.

Not to mention the dominant Zerg, even the third combat group, which was aiming to retreat, was unwilling to just run away in such a desperate manner.
