Chapter five hundred and sixty eighth defense across the river
Boom!!
With a loud bang, the building where Lin Youde and Mo Yaxuan were located was bombed by gas tank shells.
Fortunately, the first shell did not hit it, but fell on the open space seven or eight meters next to the building.
But even so, the huge shock wave made the entire building tremble.
"What's going on? Why do you want to blow us up??" Mo Yaxuan shouted in horror. This scene called out her previous ptsd.
"It should not be aimed at us, but to prevent the mutant from gaining commanding heights..."
Lin Youdequan saw the previous attack on the bridgehead position and quickly understood the intentions of the Shudu troops.
"Let's leave here quickly!" As he said that, Lin Youde decided to immediately have this building, and he could no longer stay here.
At the same time, the bridgehead position was bombed by gas tank cannons, and the attack of the mutant fire-driven flying insects was seriously affected.
But there were still a large number of fire-driven insects flying over the bridgehead position and splashing a large amount of combustible oil.
The defenders at the bridgehead defense position no longer dared to fire the gun, but instead carried weapons and ammunition to prepare to evacuate.
After all, the gas tank cannon can only block for a while and cannot completely eliminate the attacks of those ignition-induced insects, because there are too many surrounding buildings, and even the ruins can provide them with a take-off height, and the bridgehead position cannot be defended at all.
The only thing Shudu troops can rely on now is the river water in front of them, which is a very favorable defensive isolation belt, which is nearly 100 meters wide.
However, the buildings along the river on the other side of the river must be destroyed.
Seeing the buildings on the other side of the river being blown up, Liu Xi was extremely anxious because Lin Youde and Mo Yaxuan might be in one of the buildings.
And now she was staring at by everyone and could not contact them. She could only pray in her heart that they were safe and sound.
Not long after, the defense personnel from the bridgehead position on the east coast had evacuated the position and returned to the west coast to strengthen the defense on the west coast. The Shudu troops and the mutation were reflected in the fact that they were really confronting each other across the river.
However, the mutant did not give up the attack because of this. As the artillery attacks by the Shudu troops stopped, a large number of mutants rushed to the riverside and released the flying insects again.
Since the river surface is more than ten meters lower than the shore, the ignition-induced flying insects do not even need a commanding height. They take off directly from the shore. It is easy to use the drop of more than ten meters to obtain the takeoff distance. Except for a very few flying insects that make mistakes fall into the river, most of them can take off successfully.
However, the river surface is less than one hundred meters wide. When these fire-induced flying insects were pulled up and taken off after the falling stage, they had already flew out dozens of meters, just in the center of the river surface.
At this time, they were less than fifty meters away from the west coast of Shudu troops, which was within the effective range of the shotgun.
In an instant, a burst of gunfire sounded on the river bank nearly two kilometers.
A large number of steel ball barrages rushed towards the fire-driven insects flying on the river.
Puff puff puff...
The locust-like flying worms were like hitting a barrier, falling down in a series, less than a quarter of the barrier could pass through, and less than a tenth of the barrier could reach the West Coast.
But the damage these flying insects can cause is minimal on the two-kilometer-long defense line.
After all, these flying insects can only sprinkle oil and do not have the ability to actively ignite. As long as the defenders pay a little attention, they will be stained with some oil at most. As long as they are cleaned in time, they will not be harmed.
Just when everyone was relieved, the mutant's tactics changed again.
As the attack of the fire-driven flying insect weakened, another flying insect appeared at the forefront.
This flying insect has no fat abdomen of the fire-driven flying insect, and is replaced by sharp minions. The weight of the body is greatly reduced. At first glance, it is specifically evolved for melee combat.
Due to the weight loss, these melee flying insects did not have the fall of the fire-driven flying insects during the takeoff stage, and their speed also accelerated a lot.
With these melee flying insects joining the battlefield
, the defense line along the river finally felt the pressure.
With faster flight speed, the probability of breaking through the fire barrier is greatly increased. After they rushed to the west coast, they no longer sprinkled a bunch of grease like fire-driving flying insects, but rushed directly to the defense personnel for melee combat.
On the river bank, a survivor holding a pump-action shotgun caught a melee flying insect that was sweeping towards him, but just as he loaded it, another melee flying insect swooped towards him from another direction.
With a puff, the melee flying insect hit the survivor hard, and several pointed claws pierced the survivor's body, and the flying insect's big mouth full of sharp teeth bit the survivor's face.
"Ahhhh-Help, ahhh-"
Seeing this, a companion around immediately stepped forward to prepare for rescue, but the flying insects pounced on the survivor's body made the companion unable to attack at all. They could only watch the other party die in pain while wailing.
But at this moment, another flying insect swooped towards him, scaring him to run back quickly.
Not only here, but more and more people are starting to escape in other places, and the entire defense line has tended to collapse.
"Let the Cold Weapons come forward to support with shields and spears!"
On the command building, Liu Xi saw the defeat on the defense line and immediately reminded him.
Xie Qing and others immediately realized it and immediately ordered the Cold Weapons to come forward to support.
In the long-term battle with variants, they naturally will not ignore cold weapons, especially in some narrow terrain, where cold weapons troops can provide good cover for firearm troops, which are all experiences summarized with blood lessons.
However, among them, only the troops under Xie Qing were the most fully prepared and equipped, and all the shields, spears and armor produced by the Xingtian Base.
The troops under Cao Nan and Shen Xuan were relatively bad, and they almost used cold weapons that were temporarily made before, and the styles were varied.
Since starting trade with Xingtian Base, Cao Nan and Shen Xuan have been staring at various guns and ammunition, and have ignored cold weapons. They have never expected that cold weapons can come in handy.
Soon, a large number of mobilized troops holding shield spears joined the defense line. At Liu Xi's suggestion, they organized a group with the firearms troops, and the shield spears were outside to protect the people holding shotguns in the middle.
These are all tactical applications summarized by Yu Nanqiu Rui and quickly played a role.
These melee flying insects attacked the reassembled troops, either hitting the shield and bleeding, or hitting the spear and turning into a skewer, or trying to fall from the sky, but were shotgun into a sieve in the air.
Soon, the defensive line stabilized again. With the guards of the Cold Weapons, the Hot Weapons only need to be confident in outputting, and no need to worry about the harassment of melee flying insects.
