Chapter 335: Are They Taking the Initiative to Attack?

"I have placed many of the Modian Iron Guard in the Outer City to maintain order, preventing those Outer City residents from causing trouble for the already fragile order of the Outer City after their working hours were shortened.

There are 3,000 Cadian Shock Troops in the Military District and the Training Camp in the Outer City; if there is a special situation, they can also provide a certain degree of support as a reaction force.

As for the Death Korps of Krieg, that Watch Sergeant and Commissar are with the people over at the 46th Legion; there is no need to move the forces there for now.

Hmm... I will go take a look myself tomorrow. If the Zerg are just bluffing there, then I will pull out that Hatchery for them directly!"

Yingzhou looked at his System Panel, muttered a few words to himself, and made his decision.

The next day.

When Gao Fengwan heard that Yingzhou wanted to launch an attack directly against the Zerg, he was completely dumbfounded. Seeing that Yingzhou's expression did not look like he was joking, Gao Fengwan struggled for a long time before finally asking his question.

"Chief, I don't mean anything else, I'm just curious. You told us to strengthen our defenses yesterday, so why have you changed your mind today?"

Seeing that Gao Fengwan had misunderstood his meaning, Yingzhou smiled, patted the other man on the shoulder, and said.

"I did say that at the time, but later I considered that if the Zerg are feinting here, their real goal might be other legions, and our attention would be diverted. However, if we attack, the Zerg will inevitably engage us. If they are the ones feinting, their strength will certainly not be very high, and we can destroy the Hatchery here and then shift our attention to other locations. If they are the main force, then that is even better."

After hearing Yingzhou's words, Gao Fengwan felt even more confused, but Yingzhou had no intention of explaining it again. He clapped his hands together and said to Gao Fengwan in a somewhat relaxed tone.

"This outing is just to destroy the Zerg Incubation Nest. As for expanding our positions, there is no rush. The longer we drag this out, the more favorable the situation is for us; what we lack right now is precisely time. Alright, follow orders, let..."

"Situation! Zerg! It's the Zerg!"

Before Yingzhou could finish his sentence, a piercing alarm suddenly rang out across the entire position!

In an instant, the atmosphere on the position became tense. All the soldiers, as if struck by electricity, rushed to their respective combat positions.

Those soldiers who had just been startled awake from their sleep did not even have time to tidy their clothes and equipment before rushing into combat preparations; while those who were preparing to change shifts rubbed their sleepy eyes and then placed their hands back on the triggers of their weapons.

Everyone's gaze was tightly locked on the rolling dust rising in the distance. The soldiers gripped their weapons tightly, their breathing rapid, fine beads of sweat seeping from their foreheads, enjoying the final tranquility of the battlefield.

"Heh, they're taking the initiative to attack? Then let them all stay here!"

Yingzhou did not expect that before he could even launch an attack, the enemy would be so impatient to deliver themselves to his doorstep, and he immediately said to Gao Fengwan.

"Notify Lu Zhenda: if other positions suffer large-scale attacks, mobilize the Cadian soldiers in the Military District first and let them go to support, and I will rush over to help afterward."

"Yes! Chief!"

Very quickly, the Human Alliance soldiers on the position discovered that there was a group of soldiers wearing khaki uniforms and Bulletproof Armor beside them.

There was no need to guess; these must be the soldiers their Chief Yingzhou had summoned. Seeing their murderous aura, the Human Alliance soldiers felt their previously nervous mood ease slightly. What was there to fear? The Chief was here too!

The soldiers at the very front of the position could already feel the earth trembling, and in the dust, they could already see a large number of Zerglings rushing toward them at high speed.

"Troopers! The Emperor watches us! For the Emperor!"

A Cadian Commissar wearing a high-peaked cap shouted loudly, his Bolter Pistol aimed at the incoming Insect Tide. Following the sound of a Bolter shot, the Cadian soldiers on the position also opened fire one after another, letting out a roar.

"For the Emperor!"

"Cadian stands!"

The artillery positions in the rear also began artillery support. As the Rune Bullets landed in the Insect Tide, the explosions blew gaps into the tide, but in less than two seconds, they were filled by the Zerglings behind.

Seeing these Cadian soldiers roaring and firing at the Zerg, the Human Alliance soldiers also pulled the triggers on their Rifles one after another. At first, everyone didn't feel much, but as the Insect Tide got closer and closer, these Human Alliance soldiers also followed the Cadian soldiers and shouted.

"For the Emperor!"

On the artillery position side, the Human Alliance artillerymen saw the artillerymen summoned by the Chief knocking on the shells of the armored vehicles with their knuckles. Just as these Human Alliance artillerymen were feeling puzzled, they saw dense black shadows appearing in the sky in front of the position, flying over with transparent-looking wings flapping—they were flying Winged Bugs.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Just at this moment, those stationary armored vehicles suddenly moved.

They saw their tall and majestic turrets begin to rotate, and the Twin-linked Hydra Autocannons on top seemed to have been given life, instantly aiming at the Winged Bugs rapidly approaching in the sky.

Accompanied by a deafening roar, the Twin-linked Hydra Autocannons sprayed out strings of explosive anti-aircraft Rune Bullets at an astonishing rate of fire. Each Rune Bullet carried the power to destroy everything, tearing through the sky and flying straight toward the targets.

In an instant, the 6 Hydra Flak Tanks coordinated closely, and the Rune Bullets they fired wove into a dense, impregnable net of fire in the sky. This net of fire was like a dragnet, leaving the Winged Bugs that had not yet reached the battlefield with nowhere to hide.

One could only hear a series of violent explosions ringing out one after another, and countless Winged Bugs were blown to pieces in the face of this terrifying firepower. Their broken bodies turned into fragments emitting rolling thick smoke and raging flames, drifting down from the sky like raindrops.

"This, our Chief can even summon anti-aircraft tanks? This is much better than our Human Alliance's fixed Anti-Air Cannons, right? How can our Chief summon anything?"

A Human Alliance artilleryman looked at the dense barrage in the sky and muttered to himself.

Yingzhou, who saw the appearance of the Winged Bugs from the position, secretly rejoiced.

"It's a good thing I redeemed the Hydra Flak Tanks, otherwise dealing with these Winged Bugs would really be quite tricky, at least trickier than it is now."

Watching the Winged Bugs being suppressed by the Hydra Flak Tanks and unable to get close to the position at all, Yingzhou cast his gaze toward the ground battlefield. If no new flying units appeared on the enemy side in the sky, then the anti-aircraft cannons on his side would completely suppress those Winged Bugs, and even if they did appear, it might not necessarily be of any use.
