The Plane War Begins from Wandering Earth

Chapter 278 277. I will never tolerate cowardly behavior
Clandaff star.

As the base camp of the Arazi Zerg, this planet appears blue-black in space and has a desertified surface.

Despite the endless problems of surface desertification, high temperatures, frequent geological disasters, etc.

But this planet with a breathable atmosphere is still the most famous home planet of the Arach Zerg.

Regarding the harsh environment on this Zerg home planet, the federal government's biological community generally believes that this is the inevitable result of the Arazi Zerg only knowing how to kill and devour, and not knowing how to produce and build.

However, geographers and meteorologists believe that this conclusion is biased.

The unique stellar environment and the harsh climate on the planet Clandaff are the real reasons.

However, no matter how the scientific research community debates, it cannot stop the federal government from using large-scale military forces here.

As early as when the "Man-Insect War" first broke out, the "Cranduff Rout" dealt a severe blow to the federal government.

Who would have thought that beneath the empty surface of the planet Clandaf, there lay a massive swarm of insects.

The occurrence of the "Clandaff Debacle" almost directly led to the resignation of the previous interstellar marshal.

As the new interstellar marshal of Meru, he has gradually gained a firm foothold thanks to the performance of the expeditionary force.

But this does not mean that she does not want to go further and leave a significant mark in the history of the Federation with more brilliant achievements.

The planet of Clandaff is a good target.

The reputation boost brought by conquering the Arazi Zerg homeworld is absolutely unprecedented.

Marshal Meru is ready to use the toughest means of war to prove to all the people and local colonial galaxy forces who have questioned her that she is the "Marshal of Destiny" who can truly lead the federal government to victory.

Federal government starship forces, army mobile forces, atmospheric air support forces, supernatural warfare department...

Including the armed forces of the colonial galaxies, a total of more than 150 million personnel were recruited to participate in the battle against the planet Clandaf.

Except for starship forces and support forces that are not directly involved in ground combat.

More than 80 million ground troops were deployed in the war.

Among them, the number of armed forces in the colonial galaxy was close to 50 million, exceeding the federal government army for the first time and becoming the main force in the "Human-Insect War".

Thanks to the "one-stop service" of the biochemical clone corps launched by Slade Industries.

Any colonial galaxy force can easily afford several or even more than a dozen fully armed biochemical clone "ten thousand-man army".

The federal government's "tax reduction policy" to promote local colonial galaxies' enthusiasm for participating in expeditionary forces has led to more and more colonial galaxies beginning to invest heavily in military construction.

More and more armed forces from colonial galaxies headed for the Zerg colony planets. Under the guidance of the federal government, they started a battle with the Arachi Zerg for the survival of their race.

It has to be said that this is what Marshal Meru believes to be the most correct decision he has ever made.

You know, if there was no joining of the armed forces of the colonial galaxies in these places.

The performance of the federal government's military alone and the high pensions paid to citizen soldiers were enough to bankrupt the federal government's military finances.

Using a small amount of tax to exchange for a large group of "cannon fodder mercenaries" is simply the perfect policy.

War is the driving force behind the development of civilization and science and technology.

Even in the interstellar age, the value of this sentence has not faded in the slightest.

The armed forces of the colonial galaxies are the most perfect embodiment of this statement.

Before the Great Crusade, many armed forces within the colonized galaxies were unable to cope with the numerous interstellar pirates within the galaxies.

After the federal government lifted the ban on arms, the performance of these colonial galaxy armed forces on the Zerg colony planets even surpassed that of the federal government's main forces.

There are people who disdainfully think that the victory achieved by the biochemical clone army is not a significant achievement.

But more people believe that no matter whether it is clones or natural humans, as long as they can kill the Arazi Zerg and win living space for mankind in the universe, they are the best federal government military force.

Even the federal government's Army Mobile Infantry Regiment had to speed up the update of its equipment because of the increasingly eye-catching battlefield performance of the colonial galaxy armed forces.

The quality of individual equipment of the mobile infantry has also been significantly improved.

As Marshal Meru publicly released a "Letter to All Citizens of the Earth Federal Government".

The threat posed by the Arazi Zerg to human civilization was described in harsh terms.

Clarifies the irreconcilable contradictions between the federal government and the Arazi Zerg.

War, and only war, can determine the survival of two races.

The final battle, the final battle...

The Second Battle of Clandaff, initiated by Marshal Meru, made the people of the federal government, who had been educated in militarism since childhood, even more fanatical.

The expeditionary force prepared for this for half a year.

The United Government's largest starship fleet provided escort throughout the journey.

Having learned the bitter lesson of the "Clandaff Rout", the military intelligence department of the federal government army took the lead in launching a very detailed investigation of the Arazi Zerg's home planet.

Perhaps due to the influence of the desertified geographical environment on the planet's surface, the Arazi Zerg generally live in underground caves with more suitable temperatures.

This Zerg home planet has been operated by them for countless years. The densely packed tunnels and underground facilities are enough to make even veteran federal reconnaissance soldiers with a strong sense of direction get lost underground.

The expeditionary force headquarters did not use the previous "leapfrog tactics", but instead launched a frenzied attack on the Zerg strategic location on the planet Clandaff.

When the Redemption Army arrived at the surface of the planet Clandaf, a large-scale battle had already begun.

Nearly one million main forces of the federal government, including the Redemption Army, and armed forces of local colonial galaxies gathered here to jointly launch an attack on a strategic Zerg location called "Cape Lookout".

Intelligence from the military intelligence department shows that there is a large-scale plasma worm army near the "Cape Lookout" area.

The long-range pulse plasma groups they launched have caused the destruction of nearly a hundred ships of various types in the expeditionary star fleet.

However, after the atmospheric air fire strike cluster launched several rounds of covering bombing towards the "Cape Lookout" area.

Apart from the most basic war bugs in the Zerg sequence, not a single plasma bug corpse was found.

"The Military Intelligence Staff believes that there are underground bunkers of Zerg forces around the 'Cape Lookout' area.

Your mission is to find this bunker and eliminate all the bugs in it!"

After hastily handing over the order, the messenger rushed to the next troop.

It seems incredible that in the interstellar age, there is still the verbal transfer of military orders by humans.

But in the eyes of the expeditionary force headquarters, this was also a helpless move.

At present, the "Human-Insect War" has entered the later stage. The Arazi Zerg, which is in an absolute disadvantage strategically, has begun to fall into the "final madness".

Various Zerg units that had never appeared before also began to appear on the battlefield one after another. One of the Zerg units, called "parasites", was the most troublesome for the expeditionary command.

This parasite looks quite similar to the "long centipede" on Earth, and its combat effectiveness is negligible.

Any human child of a few years old could easily trample them to death.

However, these parasites can penetrate into the human brain through the human mouth, nose, ear canal and other organs to carry out parasitic control.

After the expedition landed on the planet Clandaf, more and more troops reported encountering this parasite.

With the assistance of other Zerg forces, the parasites used parasitic control over the remnants of the expeditionary force to send false intelligence back to the expeditionary command.

Forcing the rescue force sent by the expeditionary force to fall into the trap of the Zerg army.

At the beginning of the Second Battle of Clandaff, the number of casualties suffered by the expeditionary force at the hands of friendly fire as a result of these parasites was almost equal to normal.

The expeditionary force command was furious when they learned about this.

In the end, they had to use more primitive messengers to manually convey important military orders.

Any mobilization of troops with a size of more than 10,000 people requires secondary verification.

After the Redemption Army made a big splash in the "Battle of Whiskey Post", it was hidden away by Marshal Meru for nearly three years.

Now that he is also arranged to be stationed on the planet Clandaf, it is not because Marshal Meru has a change of heart.

But the current expeditionary force really needs to concentrate all the strength it can in order to win this war between the two cosmic civilizations.

Compared to the battlefield honors that the Redemption Army might gain again, winning this crucial battle would bring nearly priceless political capital to Marshal Meru.

There are a total of 103 million ground attack troops in the theater of operations.

It is composed of the federal government army, various elite mobile infantry regiments similar to the "Tough Guy Regiment", and a large number of colonial galaxy armed forces.

Even though three years have passed, the Redemption Army is still the most powerful and famous ace force among them.

Dozens of legion leaders met with each other, held emergency consultations and finalized a combat plan based on the current environment and the orders they had received.

The advance force composed of armed forces from 33 colonial star systems served as bait.

As soon as as many as 400,000 troops arrived near "Cape Lookout", a large number of war insects, or "jumpers", responsible for conveying warnings, immediately appeared on the nearby hills.

The originally empty desertified surface, the cracks in the reddish-brown rock formations, and the interlayers of the terrain were suddenly filled with dense swarms of war bugs.

The yellow and black war bugs soon enveloped this desolate land into a surging tide of bugs.

Looking at the insect swarm whose number was no less than that of human forces, Knight Commander Siegel, the head of the Redemption Army who was elected as the commander of the war zone, did not issue an order for the entire army to attack.

The advance troops of the local colonial galaxy armed forces have begun to engage in battle with the "Surge of Insects".

Seeing the two sides fighting each other, the leaders of the local colonial galaxy armed forces couldn't help but frown with worry.

It seemed that he noticed the hesitation of these friendly commanders.

"Didn't you realize that all the insect swarms that came out to fight were combat insect troops?"

The size of the swarm does a good job of hiding the composition of the Zerg force.

If you don't specifically compare, analyze and observe, it's hard to realize the weirdness brought about by hundreds of thousands of a single Zerg army.

The brain worms that command the Zerg army possess intelligence comparable to that of humans.

After several years of contact and fighting, officers at all levels of the expeditionary force certainly understood this clearly.

The vanguard force is composed of the armed forces of various colonial galaxies, and the main fighting force is still the fearless biochemical clone army.

The battle line between the advance army and the Zerg forces can still be held for now.

The armed forces leaders of the various colonial galaxies calmed down and did not let them wait for long.

Perhaps it was the brain worm in charge of the Zerg troops in that war zone that lost its patience first.

The "drilling troop" composed of hundreds of large fire-armored tank beetles dug into the middle and rear sections of the advance army, and after breaking through the ground, began to attack the surrounding armed members of the colonial forces.

The appearance of the Zerg heavy armored forces instantly changed the originally tense battle situation.

Hundreds of fire dragons swept across the battlefield. The appearance of each fire dragon represented the death or injury of at least hundreds of expeditionary soldiers.

Along with the fire dragons that were spraying indiscriminately, hundreds of thousands of Zerg air force troops also began to appear.

"Jumpers" and "Rippers" emerged from the cracks in the ground, like roaring fighters and bombers, launching cluster attacks on the expeditionary forces on the ground.

The originally stable battlefield camp began to become chaotic and collapse.

The main force of the colonial galaxy's armed forces is biochemical clones, but this does not mean that other colonial galaxy personnel who come to "gild" can also have the combat effectiveness of clone soldiers.

At least at the level of battlefield will, the natural human soldiers in the colonial galaxies are still at the level of "only being able to fight when the wind is in their favor."

The fear on the battlefield often comes from the unknown.

Once the other party reveals its cards, it is only a matter of time for the coalition government forces to defeat it.

Knight Commander Siegel looked at the battlefield, and saw the Zerg army, which was eager to encircle the human troops and exposed its reserve forces, with a scornful sneer in the corner of his eyes.

Beasts will always be beasts.

Under the order of the Legion Commander, the Redemption Army launched a surprise attack on the Zerg's elite forces from a hidden position outside the battlefield.

“Keep up with the offense.

Tell your troops that if I find anyone falling behind or turning around and running away.

I swear I'll make sure he gets his due with bolter and chainsword before the Crusade's court-martial intervenes.

I will never tolerate cowardice!"

The Redemption Army, which had been hidden for a long time by the expeditionary command, now finally got the opportunity to fight.

God knows how long these proud coalition government soldiers have been holding back their anger.

Any friendly force that dares to drag its feet in the Redemption Army's "comeback war" will be treated equally as an enemy.

The leaders of friendly forces were originally preparing for a "strategic retreat" and waiting to call for air fire support.

Looking at the soldiers of the Redemption Army who were fanatically charging towards the Zerg horde, they hesitated for a moment, looked at each other in bewilderment, and could only bite the bullet and order their troops to launch a charge as well.

They had to admit that Knight Commander Siegel might not have the ability to sanction hundreds of thousands of expeditionary troops.

But wearing the ceramic steel heavy power armor, it was quite easy for him to deal with these commanders and leaders.
