Tough Warrior in Galaxy

44 Numb Heart

    The Blue Sea Star's counterattack was not unimpeded, and Feng Chenyang encountered difficulties. He stood in the command post and watched the time anxiously. For three days, the troops were still resisted stubbornly, and he did not even push further towards the city center.

    The 150,000 coalition troops stationed on this planet named Zero. Feng Chenyang thought it could be easily occupied, but he did not expect that the opponent’s resistance was so fierce that the 30,000 troops of the three divisions of Blue Sea Star were actually lost in the battle. Thousands of people made Feng Chenyang extremely angry.

    The opposing commander was Zhang Heng, the commander of the first division of Planet Zero. This unrecognized officer was not transferred to the front command by Flari, the leader of Planet Zero, but stayed behind. There was no one. It occurred to him that Zhang Heng stood up when the Blue Sea Star troop invaded Planet Zero.

    He encouraged the soldiers to resist and called on the civilians to fight back. He built many metal defense devices on the zero star. On the huge planet, there were trenches and metal bunkers everywhere. The entire planet was connected by trenches, and even some metal houses were Removed.

    Relying on these things, when the will and combat effectiveness were not high, Zhang Heng insisted on taking this group of temporarily formed coalition forces to defend Feng Chenyang's fierce attack.

    In the war room, the commanders of the three divisions surrounded Feng Chenyang. They were all complaining. The commander of the second division even wept and asked to withdraw.

    "Chief, let's retreat. We have lost more than 3,000 soldiers in three days. If we continue to fight like this, all our soldiers will be consumed here."

    "Yeah, Chief, if we can't make progress, we'll be over when the opponent's troops surround us."

    Feng Chenyang's face was as sinking as water. He scanned the three commanders and slammed his palms on the table: "Retreat? What to retreat? Have you forgotten Master Qin Luo's order?"

    "If we retreat now, the other party will definitely be chasing it. At that time, our spacecraft will not be able to take off and we will be overtaken by others. We will be beaten passively afterward!"

    The three commanders lowered their heads and stopped talking. Feng Chenyang sighed lightly. He knew that the three-day battle had caused heavy losses to his side. Even Blue Sea Star's army had not suffered such a large loss, but the army could never retreat.

    Feng Chenyang understood very well that once the troops were withdrawn, Qin Luo’s blame was a trivial matter. The most serious consequence was that it would affect the entire Blue Sea Star’s plan. Prepare for the imperial offensive.

    But these teachers did not understand, their eyes were too narrow, they were only concerned about their own casualties.

    "Go out and issue orders immediately, don't stop the offense, you must continue to put pressure on the opponent." Feng Chenyang issued the order outrageously.

    In the underground command post, the dim energy lamp shook, and occasionally the explosion above also spilled some dust down on the light screen map. Zhang Heng bowed his body and marked symbols on the original paper map. He was about 1.8 meters tall and dressed in old-fashioned federal uniforms. He appeared calm and sophisticated. Facing the attack of the blue starfish, he immediately initiated a mutiny, detaining the logistics minister of Planet Zero who advocated retreat and led the hasty formation. The troops defended.

    For three whole days, it was a torment for Blue Sea Star's troops, but what about Zhang Heng? His gray hair has quietly emerged in these three days, and all the pressure is heavy on him. Although he has the support of the people, the overall military spirit is still unstable.

    If facing an ordinary opponent, Zhang Heng would not be under such great pressure, but he faced Feng Chenyang, an equally outstanding general. The contest between the two sides has developed from a simple tactical contest to the current endurance contest. They all understand that the final result of this battle is the will and endurance of both sides.

    "Report to the commander, another soldier defected on the front line," the subordinate reported.

    Zhang Heng put down the pencil in his hand and rubbed his eyes tiredly. I don’t know how many times a soldier escaped. Although he has 150,000 troops, many of them were recruits who were forcibly enlisted. On the battlefield, his legs trembled, and led by some scared soldiers, he defected collectively.

    Feng Chenyang, on the other hand, is always willing to come, as long as he surrenders, he accepts and reorganizes into the blue sea star recruit reserve team, and then sends it to the front as the first batch of cannon fodder when attacking.

    "Feng Chenyang, why don't you withdraw your troops?" Zhang Heng whispered to himself, guessing at the other party's intentions.

    The front line battlefield of the two sides was originally a metal house, but it was directly burned into a piece of scorched earth. The molten iron on the ground exudes residual warmth after solidification. There were as many as hundreds of thousands on the front line of less than 20 square kilometers. Troops and the offensive side is a blue sea star with only 30,000 troops.

    Looking around, the scorched ground is full of corpses, piled on top of each other. In addition to the smell of blood in the air, it is the smell of burnt flesh. The soldiers of the blue starfish are still attacking, they are like tides. Usually attacked the opponent's position, and then was driven back by the opponent.

    In the trenches of Star Zero, the soldiers just waited numbly for the enemy to attack, then fired, and then fought, their eyes were dull, even with a trace of numbness.

    "Our supplies are already seriously insufficient, and we need to be transported immediately from the rear." Feng Chenyang sent a message to Lan Haixing.

    However, Yang Song was also helpless. After learning that Blue Sea Star had been divided into three legions to attack his base camp, Abby made the most correct choice of his own. He persuaded more than a dozen leaders to launch directly towards Blue Sea Star’s homeland. The offense, although their offense did not have any effect, it blocked the blue sea star's logistics transportation route, and Yang Songzheng ordered the spaceship team to quickly open the route.

    Qin Luo sat in the spaceship with a solemn expression. Feng Chenyang’s attack was blocked, and the fat man was still comforting the civilians. The army could not withdraw for the time being. The only people who could reinforce Feng Chenyang were the two divisions he led, so Qin Luo was rushing to Planet Zero.

    In February 2392 of the Federal Calendar, the weather on the zero star became colder and colder. Blue Sea Star’s troops shuddered in the makeshift metal base. Because of the lack of supplementary supplies, each soldier could only receive one per day. Only the nutrient solution replenishes their stamina. What is even more frightening is that their ammunition tends to run out, and the daily offensive continues, but Feng Chenyang cannot issue a death order, can only maintain an offensive, and cannot board the opponent's again position.

    In the barracks, countless soldiers in ragged clothes and holding ion guns fell asleep. They sometimes woke up in their dreams. They picked up the guns in fear and shot around. Several soldiers died under the guns of their companions.

    "The starry sky of the blue ocean is so beautiful. The child away from home thinks of you and hopes to protect you with my hands..."

    The desolate military song sang from the soldier’s mouth. Feng Chenyang was silent. He squeezed his hands tightly, letting him plunge directly into the flesh, oozing blood, and came with a force of more than 30,000 from three divisions. Planet Zero now only has less than 20,000 left, and thousands of soldiers are seriously injured.

    Retreat? Feng Chenyang thought in his heart, but in the end, this idea was forcibly deleted by him. If he retreats, what about the sacrificed soldiers? How to be worthy of them?

    On the position of Star Zero, it was not easy. Although Blue Sea Star’s offensive suffered heavy casualties, the troops of Star Zero paid a greater price. The 150,000 troops were counted as defectors and dead, and now only those left Eighty thousand, they squatted in the trenches, took out the nutrient solution from the bag, and slowly poured it into their mouths, waiting for the enemy's next attack.

    Whenever a stretcher carried a dead soldier off the battlefield, it was always accompanied by heart-piercing cries. It could be his mother, father, wife, or children. They slumped on the ground, tears constantly gushing out. , Holding the cold corpse of a loved one, crying heartbreakingly.

    Zhang Heng walked on the battlefield, and the soldiers numbly saluted the military salute. Only when they looked at Zhang Heng, there was a glimmer in their eyes. Zhang Heng responded to the military salute. Many familiar faces among them have long since disappeared. The familiar may also disappear as the war continues.

    On an uninhabited planet less than a thousand kilometers away from Planet Zero, Qin Luo and his soldiers are engaged in a tragic fight. They originally wanted to help Star Zero, but they were blocked by the coalition forces. At this time, the advantage of a large number of coalition forces appeared. When they came out, their troops were divided into four parts to block the various troops of Blue Sea Star. In a short time, they forced to collect more than 300,000 troops. These troops were armed with the simplest weapons and had extremely low combat effectiveness. However, the blue sea star's troops were glued like brown sugar, preventing Qin Luo from rushing to help Feng Chenyang.
