Chapter 111 The Beginning of the Australian Campaign

The drama this time is different from Neptune's defensive counterattack. The Zerg launched an early attack before the coalition forces launched an attack.

Beginning on July 7, the second phase of the Australian campaign was officially launched by the Zerg. A fully organized battle group of the Zerg launched an attack from orbit. The width of the battlefield spanned from the northwest to the southeast across the arc-shaped peninsula area where Perth in Southwest Australia is located. Since the first airborne target was the capital of Perth, the coalition forces named it "Perth Cluster".

At the same time, the Sydney cluster entrenched in Sydney began a large-scale operation, marching towards Canberra in the south, and at the same time blocked the connection between Victoria and New South Wales, and strategically contained the action.

After the large-scale infiltration of Central Europe, all countries are extremely afraid of Zerg spore parasitism, especially Australia, as a country with a certain foundation, is in a state of war with Zerg, and immediately started the investigation with all its strength. At the same time, the number and arming of security forces are also being strengthened, so that the German tragedy will not be repeated.

Therefore, this attack by the Zerg did not go as smoothly as in Germany in terms of destroying the order in the rear. The newly formed police force was highly armed and quickly took armored vehicles to maintain order in various parts of the city, and the current infected people did not There are so many in Germany, so Australia's government orders can still be implemented with impromptu efficiency. The evacuation and evacuation of citizens and the assembly of the army to counterattack are still in order.

It's just that everyone didn't expect that this wave of Zerg would directly land in the southwest.

Because if we look at the political and economic center of Australia, the priority target must be the southeast region, where the core of the Australian continent and the population of 2000 million people are concentrated here.If Victoria can be directly won, then maybe the Zerg can do it again like Germany's victory.

Or to change the way of thinking, from the perspective of eliminating Australia's current military power, Darwin Port and the Queensland region are now the location of the heavy military clusters of the US and Australian troops, and they are also nodes for the assembly and transshipment of various materials.If you step on it directly by airborne, at least the counterattack ability of the first wave of the coalition forces will be greatly reduced.

But they chose such a southwestern region with little military and political significance to launch an attack. The reason behind this is really thought-provoking.

Taking a step back, in fact, the European War is also suspicious.

Although the population and economy of China and Europe are indeed clustered together, the results of directly airborne Germany, and then backhandedly tied France, and now stepped on two small countries, barely swallowed Germany after being bombed, and had to switch to Africa, are obviously two different results. towards.

Combined with the period of the Middle East campaign, the Zerg spent most of the time pretending to be invincible, and the Australian campaign dragged on until now to start a large-scale offensive, and the human satellites in orbit have not been wiped out all the time. Hard to say it was a coincidence.

The Zerg have now demonstrated superb strategic thinking and tactical organizational capabilities. They are definitely not "smarter beasts". They are civilizations with wisdom!

So what are their plans for continuing to "show mercy" to humans in this way?

This is a problem that high-level think tanks in various countries are trying to analyze.

The Zerg has been collecting human technology and understanding human society, and of course humans have been trying to analyze the Zerg.

The current behavior pattern of the Zerg can only be analyzed to show that they have been "giving mercy", but they cannot understand what they are planning.

At the same time, as far as the research on the various remains of the Zerg in the biological world, there are actually two major types of the Zerg at present, one is a series of bugs such as warriors, plasma, and self-explosion. Cannon fodder basic arms.And their studies have shown that they are not so much a living thing as a robot made of organic matter.

That is to say, if the metal and inorganic substances of the robot are replaced with organic biological tissues, the structure and design ideas will remain unchanged.It is essentially an organic robot.

There is no reproductive system, no fatigue, and no pain. It can be said that although it is a living thing, it does not have the meaning of death.Because of this, they have always been cannon fodder to fill the line, and the Zerg didn't even bother to care about their life and death except to strengthen some of their defenses.

And the things that make up the scarabs and Zerg imitation fighters, which are high-tech arms, that is, the kind of worms, have obvious life characteristics.They have the ability to construct various creations, and can also absorb and use the technological knowledge acquired by the Zerg.A single worm is obviously unconscious, but the scarabs and fighter planes that make up it have a peculiar intelligence characteristic, which is really miraculous.

These are the only few understandings of the Zerg at present, which are obviously incomparable to the Zerg's understanding of human beings' increasingly in-depth technology, society, and even economic culture.There is no way, the Zerg are now sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, staying on Mars and the moon, humans have no window to understand, and launching those unmanned probes now must be food delivery, a waste of money.

But in any case, the Zerg's "mercy" is not to put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately. They are going to kill people. Therefore, the coalition forces must respond to the large number of new swarms that have landed in southwest Australia.

Twenty-two minutes after the Perth swarm landed, the first batch of air strike squadrons of the highly nervous coalition arrived on the battlefield and began to prevent the spread of the Zerg swarms, creating opportunities for the evacuation of the crowd as much as possible.

However, things have changed a lot this time compared with Germany.

The vicinity of their landing sites is no longer the air defense array composed of rapid-fire plasma. Although the rate of fire is not bad, as long as the altitude is maintained, this type of air defense in the form of World War II certainly does not pose much threat to the modern human air force. High-altitude guided bombs and stand-off missiles can still be put into the landing field, but the armor of the Zerg landing field is too thick, and its biological tissue has the ability to recover from creep. Conventional charges are really ineffective. So far, there have been two nuclear strikes It's okay.

Today, these Australian F16s were counterattacked by guided air defense weapons.

Before coming, the pilots of course knew what happened in the sky over Germany, and knew that the Zerg had a replica jet air force, so they mounted some anti-air weapons to prepare for air combat.But these sudden and intensive launches of surface-to-air missile systems really caught them off guard. No one expected that the Zerg would actually come up with surface-to-air missiles.

Fortunately, these pilots are not like the rookies temporarily recruited by the army. They are all recruits for a few months, and the recruits of the pilots have not graduated yet.Quickly calming down from their panic, they proceeded to follow standard evasive procedures, dropping flares and chaff while exiting the dangerous airspace.

The Zerg not only has a supersonic air force and a bunch of standard guided weapons and ammunition, electronic jamming capabilities, but also a surface-to-air missile system, which is a knockoff modeled on Germany's MEADS (Medium-Range Extended Air Defense System), but the effect is really good , although the pilots responded quickly, but one squadron lost 4 planes, and one lucky pilot dragged the damaged plane back to the airport, and was dragged to the infirmary by the ground crew when it landed.

The Zerg's air defense system silenced the coalition's headquarters, and everyone knew what it meant.

But the trouble isn't over yet, as radar shows that after taking over a large area of ​​Perth, the Zerg are picking places to level the ground - they're building an airport!

At the same time, the occupied Perth Airport has already begun to take off with high imitation F16s.

But at this time, the officers of the rice army in the headquarters could not find their general for the time being, because Admiral Halsey was receiving an officer from Washington and a special department of the Navy, Staff Cole.

Staff Officer Cole has been active between Washington, D.C. and the front commands in the war against the Zerg since the Middle East campaign.

And his arrival today, of course, is also related to the Zerg. With him, there is also the third ship of the Ford class, the Enterprise battle group.

Chapter 112 The Girl Codenamed E and Lingenfjord

The southwestern region of Australia is ushering in an unprecedented modern war at this time. This land has not experienced the baptism of large-scale human wars since ancient times, but now it has become a battlefield for life on earth and alien invaders.

The Zerg's air force took off very quickly. It took less than half an hour from the long-range radar scan to the first batch of fighters to take off, and the Zerg had deployed more than 100 fighters over Perth.

The arrangement of the Zerg fleet is very peculiar.All kinds of reconnaissance have shown that when the Zerg landed, they did not drag out any planes from the airborne cabin, and judging from the Zerg planes destroyed in the European battlefield, the structural strength of these imitation fighters is not that of a scarab. It is a top star thing, so it is certain that these planes are assembled from worms and the shell components of the airframe after landing.

But this efficiency is too high, and no one dares to bet on the number of prefabricated components in the attack belt of the Zerg. If they bring thousands of fighters, just let the other party prepare for war, then don't played.

Therefore, the coalition's battle for air supremacy began immediately. They were all planned based on the European Zerg's air force combat experience, and there is no problem for now.

What's so fucking bad is that the Mi Army lost fat power to the Zerg in the European battlefield. Now the Zerg not only has excellent full-equipped third-generation fighters, but also fourth-generation fighters.

But the problem is not big, the system combat is over, the air-to-ground weapons and various anti-radiation missiles for strikes outside the defense zone are enough to keep, and strive to suppress the Zerg's current ground technical equipment, destroy its airports, radars, air defense positions, etc., and then follow up It can be eliminated physically through various distant fires.As for directly destroying the opponent's air force, it can be completely suppressed by Feidian's stealth ability beyond visual range strike.

Of course, I just don't know where the stealth fighter technology the Zerg got from the European battlefield is now. It doesn't matter if the enemy gets a good card.

So, six hours before the Zerg landed, the entire airspace in southwestern Australia fell into a large-scale air fight and ground-air confrontation.

The efficiency of the Zerg is really strong in all aspects. The speed of repairing the runway with the easy-to-use cannon fodder of the Warrior Bug is amazing, because what they use is not human asphalt cement or the like, but biomass.In addition, the warriors and insects are not afraid of death, and their air defense capabilities are also very strong. As a result, the coalition forces have never been able to press the Zerg air force to death on the ground, and new Zerg air forces are constantly joining the air battlefield.

But on the whole, at this stage, the coalition forces still occupy a strategic advantage, pressing on the core ground-air area around the opponent's landing field to attack.

However, this situation soon changed again.

On the 8th hour of landing, the large-scale support of the Zerg began. The support was not in the southwest region, but a group went straight to the Sydney area in the southeast. The scale was small, and they did not go straight to Canberra, the capital of Australia, but soon when the Zerg appeared in the sky over Sydney After China's air force, it is understood that this batch of airborne is here to deliver technical equipment.

As a result, the coalition forces immediately fell into the pressure of the two air force clusters across the east and west coasts of southern Australia, and had to weaken the suppression of the Perth landing field and carry out certain attacks on the Zerg air force in the southeast region.

And the other large batch of airborne is amazing, directly smashing into the central waters of the Indian Ocean, the scale is comparable to the posture of an entire battle group launching an attack, but after smashing into the ocean, there is no sound.

Now no one dares to think optimistically whether the Zerg smashed it wrong, or even further deceive themselves, the Zerg can't water, and then they all drowned.The arrangement of the Zerg definitely has their major plans.

From the free supply in Kunnan, to the flat arms in the Middle East filled with cannon fodder, to the shocking changes in Europe, and now to Australia's modern air-ground coordination warfare, which major change does not represent a comprehensive update of the swarm warfare model.

After receiving the support of the air force and technical equipment, the Sydney cluster entrenched on the front line of Sydney began to make big moves. It no longer hid in the underground bunker in Sydney city, but began to march towards Canberra in the south at full speed.

Before the attack of the army arrived, a fleet of 120 fighters had already begun to attack Canberra, and the Australian defenders' air force and air defense system began to respond with all their strength, but these Zerg fighters once again resorted to unexpected means.

Unlike the human anti-air to ground ammunition that they fully use on the European continent, they are fully loaded with a large amount of anti-air combat ammunition, while the ground attack method is composed of a large number of self-destructing insect swarms, which are amazingly powerful and extremely loaded. big.Although the bombing accuracy is not good, they don't care about the accuracy of strikes like humans at all. They are originally carpet bombing over the city.

The amount of these self-destructive insects is simply full. Since the Zerg does not need pilots, even the cockpit is filled with these things. After flying over, the crowds and buildings on the ground are directly covered by explosions like firecrackers.At the same time, the power of the plasma explosion is very powerful, not to mention that the high temperature not only seriously damages the current human construction vehicles, but also easily causes leakage and explosion of electric circuits, gas pipelines, etc. These small things have amazing destructive power to the city.

There is no need to use any means of spore infection and destruction. Just blowing it up like this will immediately disintegrate the order of the city.

While the first batch of 120 planes were bombing and exchanging with the Australian Air Force, the second batch of 80 fighter planes arrived on the battlefield, which directly made the theater command wailing.

In short, now on the Australian battlefield, the Zerg has shifted from focusing on the army to air superiority configuration for the first time. At the same time, the coordination across the east and west coasts has caused a wave of extremely effective pull on the coalition forces.

The United Command of the Mi Army in Darwin is also extremely anxious now, and needs to make immediate adjustments to the campaign plan.

But at such an important juncture, these senior officers discovered that Admiral Halsey, who had never shown his face, led a strange woman to the headquarters at this time, and what was even more surprising was that he announced in public that this The woman will take over the supreme command of all naval aviation forces and marine forces under the jurisdiction of the Australian war zone, and the theater air force and land combat forces in the subsequent naval system. The highest authority for various combat operations is in her hands and will no longer belong to Halsey directs.

Not caring about the surprise and anxiety of everyone in the headquarters, this woman took a step forward very calmly and confidently, and pulled the brim of her hat: "Soldiers who have fallen to the bottom, from now on, I will lead you to win."

"You don't need to know my name, just call my code name--E."

The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, as if she firmly believed in victory, and her long white hair was particularly eye-catching in the headquarters.

And at the same time as the flames of war in Australia suddenly broke out, Continental Europe also ushered in its own shocking moment.

Four nautical miles west of Tromsay, Norway, in the waters south of Hay Island in the Lingenfjord, a rare super thunderstorm appeared at this time. From the perspective of the climate characteristics near the Arctic Ocean, it is very rare in itself.At the same time, what is even more unscientific is that, judging from the previous 4 hours of continuous meteorological observation data, the changes in air pressure and ocean currents here are very in line with normal conditions, and there are no signs of large-scale thunderstorms in the atmosphere.

But it's not a big deal, because the weather changes in this area come and go quickly, and last for more than ten minutes.Now that alien invasive creatures like the Zerg are here, it would be trivial to have some abnormal weather. The local residents expressed their emotional stability.

Anyway, everything is unresolved, and the designated blamers are those bugs.People can cross the star sea to invade the solar system, so it's normal to have a weather weapon.

But this matter really has nothing to do with the swarm, the conscience of heaven and earth, on the contrary, this kind of abnormal weather is a tacit secret among some countries on the earth.

It is not the first time that these abnormal weathers have appeared on the earth, and what they bring are some existences from interdimensionality, to be exact—observation interference phenomena, and some mysterious girls.

The cold, white-haired girl is extremely glamorous, and she is dressed in a beautiful and awe-inspiring military uniform.She didn't care about the cold wind in northern Europe, she stood silently on the shore, watching the eddies on the sea surface that gradually calmed down, thinking about something silently.

She didn't stay here for long, she quickly turned around and stepped into the ocean, walking on the slightly rippling ocean as if walking on flat ground, heading towards the southwest direction of Central Europe.

PS: This is the end of today, please give more, Modo Modo!

Some people always say that a certain white hair is weak, isn't that normal, the real masters who actually cheat are only here now, and the pioneers are not cheating for individuals _(:з」∠)_

Chapter 113 Miss E's Edge

A 10-ton nuclear explosion cloud rose over the deserted Sydney, cleaning the Zerg's various facilities on the surface of Sydney. At the same time, the main force of the coalition's subsequent aviation forces began to gather in the southeast airspace.

Since the Zerg chose to simulate these human fighter systems, the established modern air combat system is useful to them. Relying on early warning aircraft, over-the-horizon operations and large-scale ground radars, the seizure of air supremacy in the southeast region quickly fell into a fever. It is a battlefield, and two highly similar fighter planes can be seen everywhere, fighting each other in formation.

While the southeast region is effectively organizing the evacuation of the people, the FA18EF Hornets that took off from the northern aircraft carrier group began to arrive on the battlefield. Their main goal is not air supremacy, but Sydney, which has already approached the urban area of ​​Canberra and is about to rush into the urban area. The cluster intercepts and annihilates.

Canberra's defenders are composed of four mechanized divisions mainly recruits, all of which were invested by Tu and Australia. Although the recruits are of good quality and equipment, there are also some old non-commissioned officers and veterans who have experienced Zerg wars as the backbone.

No way, Canberra is the capital. Although the fall of Sydney is not far to the northeast, you can’t just give up your capital. It can only be said that a considerable proportion of the population has been transferred and evacuated in the past, but Australia’s urbanization economy and industrial capacity are limited. The ability to evacuate supplies and housing to the inland, and the economic operation of work is even worse, so many people still stay in Canberra.

These bugs rushed out of the Sydney cluster are old opponents, and their strength is not very strong. After all, they came to Australia after the Middle East war last year. After a wave of emergency supplies, they only pulled out an air force, but they were wiped out by the nuclear explosion. Various equipment systems on the ground.

Obviously, these Zergs in the southeast are strategically diverting. Apart from the Air Force, these Zergs that are now marching towards Canberra can only be said to be cannon fodder.And after the surface of Sydney was washed by nuclear explosions, the swarm's subsequent air power replenishment obviously couldn't keep up. It is estimated that the southeast will soon decide the winner.

However, after confronting the Sydney cluster for so long, it is obvious that the other party’s diversionary attack does not use most of the troops. They have an underground system in Sydney that can already be described as terrifying. The Australian army organized They used conventional force to attack Sydney, but after being dragged into street fighting, the casualties were really heavy.

In the city, heavy equipment is restricted, and the Zerg rely on the advantage of underground deployment in a small area, so that the experience of the attacking troops can only be described as a disaster. To bomb.

Now Tuao is in a hurry. Seeing the Zerg pull up a bunch of air force and air defense systems in Sydney, the nuclear bombs are thrown directly in, trying to prevent the Zerg from improving the combat effectiveness of the comprehensive system in the southeast region.

But no matter what, the cannon fodder of the Zerg in the southeast still attracted [-] fighters, and the coalition forces of nearly ten divisions marched towards Canberra. .

But in the southwestern region where the main attack is, the situation is different.

This time, the bug swarm did not carry out the strict massacre like Germany did. Instead, they destroyed and blocked the city's traffic system, hid their troops in the traffic hubs on the outskirts of the city, prevented the citizens from evacuating, and at the same time produced more technical equipment in large quantities.

This left the coalition command at a loss. After all, most of the people in downtown Perth hadn't come out. The Zerg had obviously planned this. They blocked all traffic routes and occupied the airport as soon as they landed.Facing such a city full of population, Prague is different from Sydney in no man's land, and it cannot be solved by dropping a nuclear bomb.So we can only bite the bullet and continue to mobilize a large number of air and land forces to the southwest region, preparing to fight a solid battle.

However, reconnaissance shows that the new Perth cluster that landed in the southwest is different from the cannon fodder Sydney cluster. As the main force, they have a new armored unit, which is also a worm aggregate. From the perspective of small-scale firefights, it is a nuclear fusion cannon with a single-shot killing radius comparable to 155 grenades. .

They are like invulnerable death harvesters, smashing their defenses like killing prey, so the fearful soldiers call them "hunters".

These things are heavily programmed into the grassroots squads of the Swarm.The swarm consists of 12 warriors, 12 soldier bees, plus two hunters, and 3 new plasma assault bugs, forming a basic team, and 3 teams are supported by corresponding heavy plasma cannons.Since the Zerg is a collective intelligent life, it does not need a complicated command hierarchy to transmit information. They use such a simple team to form a highly sophisticated and efficient killing machine that can change and cooperate with each other at any time.

The size of these new plasma worms has shrunk significantly, and their shape is like a scorpion. The caliber of the projectile is similar to that of a 60mm, but it has a high-speed and flexible hexapod stepping system, and a medium-thick armor—the equivalent of about 600MM homogeneous steel armor.It can shoot directly or curved, and has become an efficient team firepower output unit.With the heavy armored hunter, it is like the main battle tank of the red bear and the armored vehicle all the way to crush it, so that you can't stand it at all.

Just kidding, counting a standard battle group of the Zerg, there are six to seven thousand hunters, which are more powerful than most main battle tanks, playing with hammers.
