Is the group formation in Chapter 94 going smoothly?
The few people in the secluded courtyard saw the smoke and dust that covered half the sky and thought that the group's opening today was going very smoothly.
When Chen Yuezhou ordered the destruction of the two widest coal transport tunnels, from which the mother insects were continuously emerging, everyone thought the fire that instantly filled the entire screen and even caused the screen to shake violently went very smoothly.
But the next moment, one of the two combat drones that dropped the bomb crashed!
The second aircraft was also shot at and was on the verge of collapse.
Everyone in the command center paled.
"Combat drones, retreat! Spy drones, move further away!" Chen Yuezhou immediately gave the order.
But the remaining combat drone also lost power and crashed a few minutes later.
"They seem to have disturbed the fallen insects of the mother nest too much," someone murmured.
Chen Yuezhou ignored these words and stared at the screen, watching the three spy drones, one of which still had enough battery power and was hiding far away from the mother nest, while the other two had retreated. Only then did his brows relax slightly.
This major battle requires the deployment of too many people, and transporting supplies over long distances is extremely difficult, so the logistical pressure is immense.
Even their elite action team, which was tasked with a critical mission, was not well equipped and supplied, and every drone that was destroyed was one less available!
But Chen Yuezhou still said, "Send a multi-functional reconnaissance aircraft up there, the largest one, fly higher, and keep a close eye on the mother nest's movements."
The large reconnaissance aircraft was brought from the new base. It was equipped with an integrated aperture radar and was truly precious. Xu Le hesitated for a moment, but still went to retrieve it.
The facts proved that the presence of large reconnaissance aircraft was necessary. The footage resumed after 10 minutes. The two largest entrances and exits were bombed, forcing back some of the mother insects. However, the several vehicles that were already loaded set off without delay.
"Martial God Team 4, Team 6, and North 2 Thunder Team 6, set off immediately to track the Fallen Insect vehicles!" Chen Yuezhou ordered.
The teams that were selected had all been assigned to chase the vehicle long ago, and with information on the direction of the fallen insect vehicle, they quickly got ready and set off, catching up with the tail of the fallen insect vehicle.
The speed at which the fallen insects were moving had slowed down. Even though it was not yet early May, the mother insects were already quite bulky, and the horrifying bulges on their abdomens seemed to be larger than any pregnant mother insects that humans had seen before!
Chen Yuezhou noticed this, but it wasn't the main point. He focused all his energy on observing the mother nest, communicating with the troops at the front, and taking stock of their remaining supplies.
Their supplies were indeed insufficient. They estimated that they would only have enough ammunition, food, water, and medical supplies for two or three days. Three combat drones had been taken away by the three squads, leaving them with only three drones. They also didn't have many bombs left to drop.
"I must use it sparingly!" Xu Le felt anxious, as if his savings were about to run out.
"But we can't be stingy at crucial moments," Yu Shuang said.
Lin Jiaran was about to leave the tent. She had received orders to coordinate with all the purifiers to determine their respective ability limits and allocate their respective "territories" in advance.
Lin Jiaran had already figured out during the day that the female captain who was allowed to stay in the command tent even when she wasn't on patrol was Qi An's captain.
Her lips, which had been turned up in a smile, twitched downwards.
But in those few minutes, the reconnaissance aircraft also observed another wave of transport vehicles approaching the mother nest.
Chen Yuezhou immediately ordered two more combat drones to be launched.
"You take command," Chen Yuezhou said to Shuang.
Lin Jiaran was taken aback, and Yu Shuang was also slightly surprised, but they readily agreed. After glancing at the position of the vanguard, they told the operator, "First, lie in ambush from high altitude."
Lin Jiaran hesitated to leave, frowning as she looked at Yu Shuang.
Yu Shuang, however, was extremely focused: "One plane follows those cars... stay steady... the cars are grouped together!"
Yu Shuang raised her voice: "Choose the middle one, the one facing the fuel tank, and use high-explosive bombs. Use the other one to bomb the area around the vertical shaft and auxiliary shaft. Drop bombs quickly and bomb!"
At this command, the screen trembled and shook!
After shaking for a minute, one of the screens went black and disconnected—yet another combat drone was destroyed!
Xu Le closed his eyes in heartache, Lin Jia Ran's lips twitched down again, but Chen Yue Zhou smiled slightly!
There was no wind tonight. The high-explosive bomb was heavy and fell in a straight line, making its position relatively easy to control. So, after the reconnaissance drone's image was blurry for a moment, it became clear again, and they could see that the bomb that exploded the car had indeed ignited the fuel tank, triggering a chain of explosions!
Moreover, on the ground of the mother nest, the fallen insect guards and mother insects that had already emerged were flying in blood and flesh, while those that had not yet emerged screamed and fled back.
The second bomber that bombed the shaft also caused casualties with its several ordinary air-dropped bombs.
Not only were these bombs lethal, but the combination of these few bombs and the two previous explosions must have triggered an underground collapse!
Chen Yuezhou observed a collapse at a weak point in the structure of a shallow mine in the corner of the picture.
Yu Shuang had indeed memorized that structural diagram.
Yu Shuang thought to herself, "I even had Lao Zhao analyze it for me several times!"
After she said "bomb," the order didn't stop. She immediately reminded, "Keep bombing the auxiliary shaft. Anyone who's going to bomb the machine, run away immediately!"
So the most crucial part of her operation was that she used the drone that was used to blow up the auxiliary shaft to cover the vehicle explosion, and the vehicle explosion was lifted up in time, leaving no damage!
Of course, this is also because the operators' skills are up to par. Yu Shuang was quite impressed by the overall quality of the team and Chen Yuezhou's sharp eye for talent selection!
Seeing this, Xu Le, though still feeling sorry for the drone, had no choice but to give Yu Shuang a thumbs up.
Lin Jiaran pursed her lips and left to carry out her mission.
It was a little after 3 a.m., and this massive bombardment silenced the mother hive for at least an hour.
The frontline troops had not yet arrived, and they dared not open battle rashly. This hour was crucial.
The inventory of supplies was completed, and Zhao Bohan helped to summarize it. In addition to ammunition, light and heavy weapons and equipment, food, water and medicine, he instructed all squads to bring steel plates, woven bags and other items.
Everyone should take this time to rest or take care of their personal needs such as eating and relieving themselves.
That massive bombing also greatly boosted the morale of the entire action team. Everyone kept their squad's mission in mind, and everyone was in high spirits and ready to go!
Around 5 a.m., Chen Yuezhou finally received news that the frontline troops had reached their designated attack positions!
The temporary reconnaissance team in the courtyard saw the smoke and dust from the bombing on one side of the mother hive and knew that the front-line troops were already attacking.
They thought the team fight would go smoothly, after all, they had such strong firepower!
The main force of the "Dome" operation team also thought the deployment would proceed smoothly...
