The swarm of insects raced at full speed, and soon covered the distance of fifty kilometers.
This left the artillery brigade soldiers with absolutely no time to make any preparations.
However, even if they were well prepared, they were no match for the swarm's attack.
Currently, the Zerg are still a very unfamiliar concept to ordinary soldiers on Earth.
Upon first seeing it, one is naturally panicked and unable to muster much thought of resistance.
"You dare to bombard my Zerg swarm with heavy artillery? Niyadera, wipe out this artillery brigade!"
Su Bai's voice rang out again.
"Yes, sir! I will use the blood of the enemy to pay tribute to the fallen springtails and hydralisks!"
Niyadra's face turned fierce.
It charged wildly into the enemy camp, knocking down a large-caliber howitzer.
The springtails roared and pounced on their enemies.
The hydralisks stood tall, their bony spurs piercing through their bodies, like the scythe of death, swiftly reaping the lives of the artillery brigade soldiers.
As the cockroach charges forward, its muscles bulge and it spits out a thick, green, acidic saliva, its hard, heavy shell protruding.
In an instant, the artillery brigade suffered heavy losses and was subjected to a one-sided massacre.
"Nyadra, destroy all of the enemy's large-caliber heavy artillery!" Su Bai issued the order through mental perception.
"Yes, sir!"
Niyadera ordered the Zerglings and Hydralisks to continue pursuing the enemy.
Command the cockroaches to destroy the large-caliber heavy artillery.
Half an hour later.
All the large-caliber heavy artillery of the Red Eagle Division's artillery brigade was destroyed.
More than half of the soldiers died.
The surviving soldiers, like stray dogs, fled desperately in all directions.
At this point, the artillery brigade under the Red Eagle Division was effectively defunct.
The fleeing soldiers were already terrified; it could be said that the artillery brigade was almost completely wiped out.
"These heavy cannons are expensive and very sophisticated. They must have been imported from the West by India. Destroying them all would have been really satisfying!"
Su Bai's voice carried a hint of excitement.
"Please issue new orders!" Niyadra stood amidst the ruins of the heavy artillery.
"Continue to clear out the enemy forces. Lead the swarm to retreat and hide in half an hour!" Su Bai spoke quickly.
"Yes, sir!"
Niyadra turned around.
Leading the swarm, they continued their charge.
...
...
The timeline goes back to forty minutes ago.
Red Eagle Division, Division Headquarters.
"The artillery fire has begun; it seems the artillery brigade has succeeded!"
"That ignorant enemy dares to launch another night attack!"
"This time, my advance planning is enough to send this enemy army to hell!"
Division Commander Arvind Johan looked excited, a hint of thrill in his eyes.
They searched for the enemy for an entire day without success.
Therefore, he concluded that the enemy had not fled, but had gone into hiding, waiting to launch another attack after nightfall.
"If the heavy artillery group launches a mass bombardment, it may accidentally injure soldiers of the 3rd Infantry Brigade!" The chief of staff had a hint of worry in his eyes.
"It's alright!"
Arvind Johan waved his hand dismissively and said, "The death of a few ordinary soldiers is nothing!"
"The most important thing is to eliminate this enemy force that has infiltrated our country!"
"At that time, no matter how many casualties we suffer, the headquarters will make up for them all."
Just then, the sound of cannon fire gradually subsided.
"Great! The artillery fire has stopped. The invading enemy must have suffered heavy losses!" The chief of staff exclaimed excitedly.
"Contact the front lines immediately and report the battle situation!" Arvind Johan seemed impatient.
Five minutes later.
"Report! The 3rd Infantry Brigade has lost contact!" the communications officer reported.
"What! Lost contact?" Arvind Johanten jumped to his feet, a look of confusion on his face. "Could it be another electromagnetic storm interference?"
"Commander, the situation is not good. Not only has the 3rd Infantry Brigade lost contact, but the division headquarters has also been unable to contact the Artillery Brigade."
The chief of staff frowned deeply.
"How could this be? All of them have lost contact?" Arvind Johan's expression changed, and a hint of seriousness appeared in his eyes: "Could it be that the Dragon Kingdom has invaded and used some advanced electromagnetic warfare?"
"No way! The Dragon Kingdom has always been open and aboveboard. Launching a surprise attack without declaring war is not their style," the chief of staff said without hesitation.
"Quickly! Send a communications officer immediately, by car, to the barracks of the 3rd Infantry Brigade and Artillery Brigade!"
As he spoke, fine beads of sweat appeared on Arvind Johan's forehead.
His brows were already furrowed, and he muttered to himself, "My eyelids keep twitching, I have a bad feeling..."
"Commander, do not worry! The great Indian Empire is protected by the gods!" The chief of staff was resolute.
Two hours later.
Still haven't been able to get in touch?
Arvind Johan had disheveled hair and a rather unpleasant expression.
"No!" The chief of staff shook his head, his expression grave. "Furthermore, none of the dozen or so communications officers we sent out have returned!"
"Damn it! How could this happen!" Arvind Johan slammed his fist on the table, his eyes filled with rage. "Who are these enemies?! How dare they launch repeated attacks on the Indian Empire!"
"Commander, should we send out some more communications personnel?" the chief of staff asked.
"Immediately, send out all the communications officers! And send out my guard company as well, to protect them along the way!" Arvind Johan was somewhat hysterical.
And so, amidst torment and anxiety, the Red Eagle Division headquarters spent an unforgettable night.
the next day.
early morning.
The sky was just beginning to brighten.
The guard company and the communications officer who had been sent out ran back to the division headquarters in a panic.
Their faces were blank, their eyes filled with lingering fear.
"Commander, this is the situation: the 3rd Infantry Brigade suffered more than 2,000 casualties, and the Artillery Brigade was almost completely wiped out."
"Most importantly, the soldiers died in very gruesome ways, such as being dismembered by cold weapons or being corroded beyond recognition by biological weapons."
"The two brigades' garrisons have been turned into a living hell..."
Upon hearing this, the entire Red Eagle Division headquarters fell into complete silence; the silence was so profound that you could hear a pin drop.
"How...how is this possible? Two brigades were decimated overnight!" The chief of staff stared in disbelief, his eyes filled with shock.
The 3rd Infantry Brigade was decimated, and its commander was killed.
The artillery brigade was completely wiped out, and all the large-caliber heavy artillery pieces that had been purchased at great expense were destroyed.
This caused Arvind Johan's blood to rush to his head, making him feel dizzy and unsteady on his feet.
"Commander, are you alright?" The chief of staff rushed forward and reached out to help him up.
"hateful!"
"Utterly hateful!"
"Kill my two brigade commanders and cripple my two elite infantry brigades!"
"Destroy all my heavy artillery and nearly wipe out my artillery brigade!"
"Where did this enemy come from?!"
"I must kill them all!"
Arvind Johan was furious, veins bulging on his face, and his eyes flashing with uncontrollable rage.
