The Plane War Begins from Wandering Earth

Chapter 257 256. An explanation

After the ground war in the giant mine ended, the resistance of the Arachi swarm began to enter the underground stage.

Through the ultra-high power bio-wave signal detection equipment carried on the flagship of the space battleship, it can be determined that the large swarm of insects has been completely consumed.

Only a few warrior bugs guarding the brain bugs were left to fight stubbornly deep in the mine.

Except for the Transformers elite troops who were chasing the Brainworm directly.

A large number of reinforcements from the United Nations government forces also received orders to continue advancing deeper into the giant mine.

Before the United Government Army's forward base is officially established, all Arazi Zerg on the planet must be cleared out.

After a brief reorganization and rest, the "pest control and cleaning team" began to move deep underground in small teams.

The narrow mine passages mean that the coalition government forces can no longer use high-powered heavy firepower weapons as recklessly as before.

However, the limited combat space also limits the Zerg's advantages in quantity and individual soldier quality.

The "insect extermination force", which is mainly composed of soldiers from the United Nations government forces, replaced its main weapons with long-range flamethrowers that were urgently deployed.

This weapon, designed by the coalition government's military weapons experts, has an effective range of 30-50 meters.

The high-pressure nozzle can launch the liquid fuel stored in the weapon tank far away, causing it to explode in the form of gas.

It can provide ultra-high temperatures of 1800-2000 degrees Celsius to carry out blanket killing of the enemy.

Through previous battle situations and intelligence obtained from the indigenous people.

The United Government Forces have already gained a preliminary understanding of this extradimensional force called the Arazi Zerg.

Directed energy weapons, including various laser cannons and particle beam weapons, find it difficult to break through the insect's shell defense.

On the contrary, chemical gunpowder weapons, which have always been considered to be technologically backward, are extremely effective.

In addition, the Arachi Zerg, or the Zerg forces in this plane, are extremely sensitive to temperature changes.

In a high temperature environment above 50 degrees, the eating, reproduction and fighting desire of the Arachi Zerg will decline drastically.

A high temperature of 800 degrees can soften the hard shell of insects.

At a high temperature of 1300 degrees, even the elite strongman among the Arazi Zerg: the tank worm, its ten-centimeter-thick biomass shell will be easily shattered by bullets like butter cheese.

When the temperature reaches an exaggerated level of 2000 degrees, many insects will even spontaneously combust and explode.

This is why large numbers of Zerg only appear on the surface during the "nightfall period".

In response to this phenomenon, the United Nations government forces began to bring large stocks of chemical gunpowder and thermal weapons into the battlefield.

Two fighters were responsible for operating the heavy firepower: the flamethrower.

Three soldiers were equipped with motorized rifles and light machine guns and were responsible for exploring the team's direction of advance.

Two other soldiers were responsible for providing support using rapid-fire submachine guns and shotguns.

The last three soldiers, armed with rifles, were on guard at the end of the team, acting as reserve forces.

Such a ten-person "pest control and cleaning team" began to advance into the underground tunnel on a large scale.

A large number of shuttle drones responsible for mapping the 3D projection maps of underground passages have already completed the mapping of thousands of mine caves under the giant mine with their powerful maneuverability.

After being analyzed and processed by artificial intelligence, these underground terrain data with extremely high practical value soon began to be uploaded to the battlefield command center.

It is then synchronized to the helmet display devices of all front-line combat soldiers.

The problem of "getting lost" was completely solved right from the start.

The battle on the ground shifted underground, and the killing continued.

But for the besieged Iron Knights Interstellar Legion, it is finally time to breathe a sigh of relief.

However, precisely because the one seeking help was an interstellar legion, any other coalition government army would probably not be able to enjoy such treatment.

You know, the representative of the US branch even risked impeachment from other branches of the coalition government and did not hesitate to dispatch direct troops across the chain of command, frantically urging the troops to provide "support at all costs."

The other party sacrificed his personal political life in order to preserve the Iron Knights Interstellar Legion, which was regarded as a symbol of honor by the US branch.

After the siege, the United Government defined the situation of the Iron Knights Interstellar Corps as "greed for success and reckless advance."

After discovering that the electromagnetic signal interference of this alien planet was serious and the communication distance was greatly shortened.

The Iron Knights Star Legion strives to make valuable progress as quickly as possible.

Without consulting the United Government Army Headquarters, the main force was sent into an unknown giant mining area.

As a result, the main force was surrounded, causing heavy losses to the Interstellar Corps headquarters and the supporting troops.

6536 trainee knights of the Iron Knights Interstellar Legion were killed, 4390 were seriously injured and will be forced to withdraw from the front-line combat sequence in the future. Almost everyone was injured.

On the contrary, the official knights in the legion, because of the powerful blessing of [God's Chosen Blessing], can easily kill the Arras war bugs with cold weapons even in a single fight.

Coupled with the extremely protective heavy power armor they wore, the final number of casualties was only 69.

The vast majority of them died from exhaustion because their body functions were under high load for a long time after being injected with a cardiac stimulant.

Only a few people actually died at the hands of insects.

The other seriously wounded soldiers, although they all looked miserable, had their heavy armor covered with scratches, pits from gravity impacts, traces of insect gnawing, and sour pus after being besieged by enemies dozens or hundreds of times their number.

But not only have they been genetically modified, they are also blessed by God's choice.

They are considered to be the most favored and cared for group by the Supreme God among the more than 25 billion human beings under the rule of the United Government.

It has an extremely amazing self-repair ability.

Combined with the medical cabin technology that is a collection of various black technologies from the United Government.

It will only take a day and a night for all the seriously injured to recover.

But those coalition government forces that came to support were far less lucky.

The Air Force Marine Corps suffered the heaviest losses.

More than one-third of the troops were directly surrounded by the Zerg below after landing. Their physical fitness was far from as strong as that of the Star Legion soldiers. After resisting for a moment, they were quickly slaughtered.

The Aerospace Marines, all equipped with light weapons, used their flesh and blood to attract the attention of the insects for the Iron Knights Interstellar Legion soldiers.

This troop, which had no heavy armor protection and no heavy firepower support, had a death rate of 38%. In addition to the seriously injured soldiers who lost their combat capability forever, the loss exceeded 40.

130 million United Nations government forces received orders from the US branch to come to support, despite being equipped with armored vehicles, protective equipment, and heavy firepower.

There were still nearly 20 casualties.

“General Morris, you should understand how bad this is.

The coalition government needs to answer.”

The coalition government commissioner who came to negotiate had a cold expression on his face.

Beside him, there was only a secretary who was in charge of clerical work.

The Star Legion soldiers present, not to mention the official knights, even an apprentice knight could easily defeat them.

But unfortunately, the other party represented the coalition government, the one they had sworn to die for, the one they could not have the slightest desire to disobey. "I will accept any disposal from the coalition government.

But all this is my personal problem and has nothing to do with the Legion.

I hope that this will not affect the actions of the Iron Knights Star Legion in this plane war..."

Knight Commander Morris took a deep breath and took all the blame on himself.

Being greedy for success and being reckless are exclusive to losers.

If the Iron Knights Star Legion's operation had been successful, they would not have been surrounded by the Zerg and would not have suffered such heavy casualties.

Then "being greedy for merit and advancing recklessly" might turn into "being bold but cautious", and what awaits him is not an inquiry or punishment by the coalition government, but a reward.

But there is no if in reality.

The US branch is eager to prove the combat effectiveness of the Iron Knights Interstellar Corps to the public and the United Government.

Knight Commander Morris also shoulders the expectations of countless people.

Due to various reasons, this consequence occurred.

“The coalition government will have to decide who the problem is.

A special investigation team has been set up.

Several senior representatives of the US branch have been impeached for mobilizing direct military support beyond their authority and have been temporarily stripped of their executive powers.

You and they will be investigated by the investigation team.

Next, the Iron Knights will be in charge of Knight Commander Campbell until the United Government makes a final decision on the outcome of the matter."

Knight Commander Maurice understood that his political career might be coming to an end.

The same is most likely true for the senior representatives of the US branch.

In fact, they want the Iron Knights Interstellar Corps to succeed more than anyone else and to shine in this plane war.

Prior to this, the US branch mobilized a lot of political resources and finally won the status of "advance force" for the Iron Knights Interstellar Corps this time.

But it is because I wanted to achieve results so much that I have come to this point today.

Someone needs to be held accountable for the lives of nearly 600,000 coalition government soldiers.

The US branch's high-level representative's bypassing of command also caused official anger among the United Government.

It is difficult to say how much the deaths of up to 60 coalition government troops were related to the "overstepping command" of the US branch.

But after this incident, the coalition government officials began to reduce the "wartime command power" of the coalition government forces.

Whether it is CN, RU, US or other branches, generals at the military warfare level and troop movements must be officially issued by the United Government.

The coalition government's official centralization action is to avoid unnecessary consumption of internal resources and manpower.

Compared to a branch taking unnecessary and irrational actions for the so-called honor or "comparison" with other branches.

The United Government officials value human civilization as a whole, the advantages gained in the plane wars, and the strategic level victories.

It is not limited to a certain branch or a certain unit.

The subsequent disposal of the Iron Knights Star Corps is still ongoing.

However, for the United Government, the most important thing at the moment is to control the situation on this alien planet as soon as possible.

Optimus Prime and Megatron led the Transformers special forces to chop their way through the mine tunnel.

All the insects that try to resist them will be beaten into a thick paste of insect corpses on the ground at the first sight.

After receiving the complete [God's Blessing], Optimus Prime can defeat not only ordinary ground warworm "warriors", but also "elite units" like tank warworms.

It only took a few seconds for Optimus Prime.

Megatron on the other side was not much behind. He compared himself with Optimus Prime in every way, and his charging speed was even faster than that of his "archenemy".

Forty minutes after rushing into the mine tunnel, the Transformers special forces successfully killed nearly 10,000 war bugs "garrison" guarding the brain worm and successfully controlled the giant worm-like brain worm.

It took nearly two more hours to capture the creature, which weighed more than ten tons, alive and crush it back to the ground.

At the same time, the operations of the "pest control and cleaning team" are coming to an end.

These war bugs have no intelligence at all.

After the troops responsible for guarding the brain worms suffered heavy casualties, he became the highest commander of the Arachi Zerg on this planet.

The brain worm sent out a strong biological signal for help.

The swarm of insects that had originally escaped into the tunnels were stimulated and launched a suicide attack on the "insect eradication and cleaning team" without caring about their lives.

This actually speeds up the cleaning process.

A large number of war bugs were also captured alive.

The war bug "Warrior" on the ground, the tank bug.

"Leapers" and "Rippers" in the sky.

Together with the brain worms hiding deep underground, hundreds of "cage devices" of various sizes were filled to the brim.

For the sake of safety, and also to analyze more valuable intelligence about this Zerg named Arazi as quickly as possible.

The space transport ship will carry these insects to the biological research base in the Pacific Rim plane to carry out more detailed scientific research activities.

At the same time, the "Zerg Cleanup Operation" targeting the alien planets is still ongoing.

The entire alien planet is about 83% the size of the Earth.

There are nearly a hundred "giant mining" areas of various sizes, which also represent nearly a hundred human settlements.

According to intelligence obtained from indigenous people in the giant mine, the scope of the previous "meteor shower" was global.

This also means that other indigenous settlements have most likely been attacked by the Arachi Zerg.

The Joint Government Forces Command quickly made deployments based on the intelligence currently available.

Recruit tens of millions of United Government troops to launch a large-scale cleanup operation on the alien planet.

Until the planet is completely under control.

During this period, the three interstellar legions, including the space battleship fleet, will serve as support forces to assist the United Government forces in the cleanup operations.

Simultaneously with the cleanup operation on the surface of the alien planet, there is also an observation of the galaxy where the alien planet is currently located: the Slade galaxy.

As well as intelligence gathering on the planet's government: the Earth Federation, an indigenous civilization.

As a civilized force capable of conducting colonization activities across galaxies, the Earth Federation is highly valued by the United Government.

Similarly, the Arazi Zerg, which launched attacks on the natives of alien planets, also made the United Government vigilant.
