Chapter 107 The choice between launching and evacuating! The tiger spine worm approaches
Looking at the possible points marked by other departments, Ding Chenghai's pupils shrank sharply and his expression became slightly nervous.

As one of the participants in the "decapitation operation", he was very clear about where Lin Feng was stationed, which was inside the outpost.

Although he still didn't know why the tiger-backed worms gathered in a group where he was, Ding Chenghai was very clear that the power of the earth-penetrating fuel-air bomb that was about to be launched could easily flatten an outpost.

Even if there is an explosion nearby, anyone within one kilometer will be affected.

The secondary damage caused by the explosion is very serious.

In particular, the collapsed Zerg hive produced tremors as strong as an earthquake, and the deep pits on the surface would destroy the entire outpost.

Therefore, the defenders inside must evacuate in advance.

Otherwise, they will be affected by the residual power of the fuel-air bomb.

But Ding Chenghai was just a small member in charge of the logistics and weapons department and had no qualifications to participate in the high-level meeting to make the launch decision.

In order to maintain confidentiality, all grassroots personnel participating in the "decapitation operation" had to hand in their personal mobile phones and were not allowed to contact the outside world.

Ding Chenghai frowned, and wrinkles appeared on his chubby face.

Soon, he suddenly remembered the signal receiver he had given to Lin Feng. That thing could receive radio waves and transmit messages with just an ordinary radio station...

There just happened to be an obsolete radio station in the logistics warehouse.

Ding Chenghai then left the data processing center under the pretext of going to the restroom, and went to a warehouse full of debris, where he found an old, dusty radio.

After turning on the power, press a piece of digital symbols on the typewriter.

"Damn, I hope you guys can take the time to pay attention to the flashing lights on the signal receiver."

Ding Chenghai silently complained and sent out the information.

At this moment, in the high-level meeting to decide on the launch, the federal top brass has authorized the 13th Division on the front line to launch and use the earth-penetrating fuel-air explosive bomb.

And in a military base thousands of miles away, a strategic bomber with a gray, black and iron appearance has been loaded with several heavy guided missiles. As long as the signal is connected with the launcher on the tiger-backed insect for guidance, it can achieve long-range tracking and accurate hit.

With the launch of three strategic bombers, the Federation's first "decapitation operation" test entered its final stage.

At this moment in Wucheng, inside the division headquarters located within the third line of defense, a more intense debate was taking place.

Although the top leaders had given authorization, the fierce combat situation on the front still put the senior officers of the 13th Division in a dilemma.

Two days had passed since the Zerg arrived at the city and the battle broke out. According to the Zerg's original advancement plan, they should have expanded to behind the second line of defense by now...

Therefore, the construction of the Zerg mother nest is likely to reach the first line of defense.

It is very likely that the queen mother will appear in the underground location where tiger-backed worms gather.

The large-scale appearance of daytime tiger spine beetles also indirectly confirms the insect habit data sent by the research institute.

What this all means is…

The Queen Mother is about to arrive under the defense line.

The division headquarters could either order more than 10,000 defenders to break out and escape the attack range of the earth-penetrating fuel-air explosive bomb, or directly launch missiles to kill both the people and the insects.

As for canceling this "decapitation operation" on the grounds of inappropriate timing, that is obviously the least likely option.

The hard work of so many people, and the only chance for humanity to defeat the alien Zerg, they will choose to bet without hesitation even if it means gambling with ten thousand lives.

So the question arises as to whether or not to allow the defenders on the front line to break out and leave the bunker that is about to collapse.

Or let them hold on and complete the harvest.

Most generals tended to the former, first gathering the troops from the front line and consolidating the second line of defense.

But Colonel Cheng, who was sitting at the end, raised an objection:

"No, if we break out now, we will inevitably be chased and intercepted by the insect swarms emerging from behind the defense line. Without the protection of the defense line and without transportation, the company will surely suffer heavy losses."

"Don't forget our breakout in Haicheng, where we lost nearly 40% of our personnel overnight."

"These are professional soldiers who have received long-term training. The new recruits on the front line have no experience in group combat, so the damage will only be greater!"

"Issue an order to have them retreat to the main fort outside the strike position. Even if we launch ground-penetrating missiles, we can only destroy six or seven main forts at most. The others can still be used!" "If the decapitation operation is successful, these soldiers can clean up the Zerg swarm that has lost its command on the spot. If it fails, we can't just give up the important first line of defense so easily!"

Cheng Zhan became more and more excited as he spoke. Although most of the officers present had higher ranks than him, as the battalion commander of the Awakener Camp, he held considerable power.

After all, all the awakened veterans were under his command.

As he expressed his views, he quickly convinced some hesitant officers, especially the newly promoted middle-level commanders. The people they had were all on the front lines. According to Cheng Zhan, once they were withdrawn, if the decapitation operation was successful...

Then they won't get much credit.

It's a gamble anyway, so I might as well stay.

When the voting began, the final plan was issued:
There are three locations in total, two on the southern line, and outside the outpost bunker in the service area, to notify the soldiers inside to retreat.

Fortunately, those in the defense line can walk through the corridor to other main forts, but the outposts in the service area are not connected to the defense line of the front battlefield...

The only way left for them is to break through.

"Tell them to hurry up and execute. In twenty minutes, the missiles will be launched and will hit the target within three minutes."

"The meeting is adjourned. Everyone go get ready!"

As the division commander made the decision, the communicator began to issue instructions to the division headquarters, and after Cheng Zhan left the meeting room, he went to the radio room.

Looking at the busy communication personnel inside, he immediately said to the communication soldier who was about to issue an order:

"Just send it to the defense line. The one at the service area outpost is my captain Li Ran. I have already informed him in advance. The target location is still some distance away from the bunker, and they want to continue to hold on and fight..."

"Breaking out now will only result in heavy casualties. It is better to wait for the launch results to come out before making any plans."

Signal soldiers are just ordinary technical soldiers with the rank of corporal. Even their superior is only a captain. Faced with the colonel's order at this moment, they naturally cannot refuse.

Moreover, the soldiers stationed at the outpost were Cheng Zhan's own troops...

He had no reason to "cut off his own hands and feet".

Thinking of this, the signalman, who had originally planned to ask his superiors for instructions, immediately turned off the transmission of codes to the outpost radio station.

Cheng Zhan nodded, turned around and left the communications room, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a sly smile of success.

After communicating the battle plan with the Queen Mother, everything is proceeding steadily according to its plan.

But what Cheng Zhan didn't expect was that the tiger-spine worm that was originally sent to test the super bullet awakener at the outpost would be ambushed by Lin Feng inside!

He is not in the Beacon program at all!

This made it and the queen mother very angry!
The attempt to steal a chicken ended up with a loss of rice, and the loss was huge!

Therefore, this time, we will take advantage of the opportunity to use human hands to destroy this outpost bastion with powerful firepower!

And at this moment, inside the outpost bunker.

Looking at the surging army of black-backed insects that were charging forward one after another without fear of death, Lin Feng frowned slightly.

Because he hasn't made any move yet.

In other directions, Li Ran, Shen Jie and others were holding steam hammer shotguns and frantically harvesting large black-backed insects in the late first stage.

From nightfall till now, more than two hours have passed, and no tiger spine beetle has been seen poking its head out.

Until this moment, Chen Yanyan's exclamation came from the intercom hanging on her chest:

"Lin Feng!"

"problem occurs!"

"Several second-level tiger-back worms appeared in the underground wormhole below the outpost!"

"They seem to be preparing to emerge from underground..."

"Break the ground and attack!"
