There are many more ghostclaw monsters in Nanling Port than imagined.
Probably because the landing on Linglan Island was severely frustrated, many Ghostclaws then began to head towards Blue River Manor and Nanling Port.
Then they hit a serious wall again at Blue River Manor.
Just as Lin Yun predicted.
Groups of ghostclaw monsters were helpless against the more than 20-meter-high cliff and the smooth and thick protective wall behind Blue River Manor. After struggling for more than half an hour, most of the ghostclaw monsters had no choice but to turn around and turn towards Nanling.
port.
As a result, the pressure on Nanling Port suddenly increased.
The number of ghostclaw monsters detected near Nanling Port using the echo detection system is as high as three to four thousand.
When the Spectral Claws began to attack, the Xingfu and Xingye had just arrived, and the crew on board had not even had time to evacuate before the Spectral Claws began to attack.
In such a hurry, the defense system was not even built yet.
Hundreds of ghostclaw monsters swarmed up. Although they were scattered, they posed a fatal threat to the workers who were building fortifications.
The current general person in charge of Nanling Port is Feng Yingshuang, and the dispatcher is Lin Yun, but the people who assist them are not small. Yang Hong Tieying and his wife are here, and Lei Peng, the leader of the two teams of the Mu family, is also here. These
Everyone is a green-level master.
In addition, Feng Yingruo, Jian Chengli, Chen Bin, Li Tiancheng, Li Jiawei, masters from the Shangguan family and various wealthy families in Haiyang District, etc., as well as military troops and Juewu policemen.
There are a total of more than 300 formal warriors, more than 400 quasi-martialists, 38 extremely powerful warriors, more than 600 military soldiers, and more than 400 various auxiliary personnel, and the total number is probably more than 2,000.
.
In addition, in terms of equipment, there are twenty-six heavy tanks, thirty-four armored vehicles, as well as anti-air missile battalions and three rocket battalions, which are specially used to deal with the Red Devil Dragon.
Three special giant impact vehicles. At least two hundred super powerful magic spider webs.
Around 7:30 in the morning, the Spectral Claws began to land.
But the container barrier hasn't been set up yet.
In order to protect the workers, Feng Yingshuang took the lead. She, Yang Hong and his wife, Lei Peng Ren Zhong and other green-level masters rushed out to kill the ghostclaw monsters that came in.
Five or six experts with green level cultivation and above took action, which was definitely not something that the ghost claw monsters could resist.
Quickly, they forcefully pushed back the ghostclaw monster that was approaching.
But the Ghostclaw monsters immediately changed their tactics. Faced with the interception, they scattered in all directions as soon as they landed on the beach. Although Feng Yingshuang and the others were high in cultivation, they were unable to withstand their large numbers and speed. Soon they were scattered in various places and started to attack.
Attack humans, especially workers who have little ability to resist.
Seeing this, the second echelon of high-level warriors in reserve immediately stepped forward to fill in. Dozens of yellow-level and orange-level warriors with advanced levels of cultivation swarmed forward.
Start plugging the leak.
Then came the third echelon of people. Protected by superior equipment, they also fought bravely.
Soon, hundreds of ghost claw monsters that rushed to the port were divided and eliminated in the blink of an eye. The harbor was filled with corpses of ghost claw monsters.
However, there were also many casualties on the human side.
But most of them were workers. Three died and more than 20 were injured.
"Quickly, fix the loopholes quickly." Feng Yingshuang stood on top of the containers piled more than ten meters high, looking at the steady stream of Spectral Claw monsters coming in the distance. She shouted loudly.
Workers on site quickly started working again.
However, the loophole could not be completely closed due to the obstruction of many ghostclaw corpses.
Once the ghostclaw corpses were moved away, the second wave of ghostclaw attacks arrived.
Fortunately, when the second wave of ghostclaw monsters rushed over, the gap had been closed.
The gap they placed was about twelve or thirteen meters wide, and could accommodate five Spectral Claw monsters advancing side by side.
The length of the gap is about one hundred meters long, so once the Spectral Claw monster rushes in, it will be trapped in a space of more than one thousand square meters.
Feng Yingshuang divided more than 300 warriors into fifteen teams, each with twenty people. The fifth team was for mobile combat, and the other ten teams were responsible for blocking the gap.
Soon, the Ghost Claw monster stepped on the corpse of its companion and began to attack crazily.
Try to break through this narrow blockade and go deep into the interior.
But they were immediately hit head-on. The twenty-six tanks were divided into four groups. The first group's muzzles were raised horizontally, and the second group's muzzles were tilted upward. The angles were increased in turn. Then they were loaded with armor-piercing shells and fired in a six-round salvo.
Launch an attack.
Just like volley shooting.
The first round is a small elevation angle shot from the tanks in the back row, then the penultimate row, then the third row, and finally the flat shot from the front row.
"Boom!" After the first round, the Ghostclaw monsters running in front fell instantly. Just as the Ghostclaw monsters behind were about to rush up, the second round of shelling came again, blowing them down again.
The next blockbuster.
These shells are specially made to deal with the Spectral Claw monster, and they have flowers at the ends, which increases the explosive yield.
After rotating at high speed, it can easily penetrate into the ghostclaw monster and explode inside its body.
So basically, as long as this kind of special bomb is penetrated into the body, it will be hit accurately. The only problem is that the shell of the Spectral Claw monster is relatively smooth. If they make evasive actions, it will easily bounce away.
But after this group of ghostclaw monsters rushed in, they crowded together and had no place to hide.
After several rounds of volleys, the lying ghost claw monsters piled up into a small mountain.
The rate of fire of a heavy tank is 10 rounds per minute, one round every six to ten seconds. If it is a group of four, it will fire one round every two seconds.
This speed is just enough to suppress the charge of the Spectral Claw.
However, those ghostclaw monsters still rushed forward relentlessly. They continued to move forward, stepping on the corpses of their companions, one after another.
And relying on the slight time difference, the charge line was slowly moved forward by at least twenty meters.
There were also many fish that slipped through the net, escaped the artillery attack, and approached the artillery array constructed by the tank battalion, but as soon as they came up, they were immediately killed by the human warriors guarding on both sides.
Under the continuous bombardment of artillery fire, the ghostclaw monsters that came one after another still showed no intention of retreating.
And very quickly, they piled up corpses into a thick mountain of corpses.
The tank's muzzle also had to start to adjust upwards, as the bodies of the Spectral Claws piled higher and higher.
Feng Yingshuang and the others realized a problem. If the Ghostclaw monster was so fearless of death, there would be a big loophole in the obstacle they set up.
At a distance of more than 100 meters, the corpses of at least 300 Ghostclaw monsters have been piled up.
But at the same time, the corridor blocked by containers more than ten meters high became meaningless. The ghostclaw climbed up along the corpse, and then pounced down.
Some even climbed onto the containers and attacked humans from a high position.
But what they encountered was a dense machine gun fire from armored fighting vehicles.
Although it was not fatal, due to the fierce firepower, the Ghostclaw monsters were beaten back again and again.
Some were shot too many times and were still beaten to death.
Those who survived were immediately surrounded by warriors on the ground after landing, and were dealt with on the spot.
However, more and more Spectral Claw monsters rushed onto the pile of containers and jumped down without fear of death. Some fell directly to death. Some broke their legs, but some survived.
They immediately began to attack the humans who had been waiting for a long time.
After nearly an hour of fierce fighting, more than 500 Spectral Claw monsters were dead, and the corridor deliberately left was completely blocked. The Spectral Claw monsters could only rush up through the steep slope they built with corpses, and then fell on top of the container pile.
, and started a duel with the humans who had already deployed their defenses.
However, the ghost claw monsters still suffered a lot on the container. The weight of the human warriors was not too heavy, and they could jump freely on the container. However, the ghost claw monsters were very heavy, and in many cases, they would be connected to their bodies if they stepped hard.
They fell into the container together. Once their long legs sank into the iron box, it was difficult to get out.
But even so, there are more and more Spectral Claw monsters.
On the container, more and more Spectral Claw monsters rushed forward. Soon, as more and more Spectral Claw monsters gathered, the number of casualties also increased.
The space for humans to stand on containers is getting smaller and smaller.
Only a few warriors with relatively high cultivation levels can still gain a foothold on it, such as Feng Yingshuang, Yang Hong and his wife, as well as Lei Peng and others.
But soon, several bloody claws began to appear.
In order to preserve their strength and physical strength, they had to retreat from the top of the container.
"Retreat to the second line of defense." Feng Yingshuang saw that the situation was unfavorable and immediately ordered to retreat to the second line of defense.
That was agreed upon in advance.
They knew very well that a single line of defense could not guard against so many Spectral Claw monsters, so they also set up a second line of defense. And people had already arranged for people to start building a third line of defense.
The second line of defense is based on tanks and armored vehicles, and then relies on large buildings in the port to forcibly block the attack route of the Spectral Claw.
However, compared to the first line of defense, it is slightly weaker.
If that doesn't work, you can only rely on bloody battles to slow down the Ghostclaw's attack.
After all, they have blocked the Ghostclaw attack for almost two hours now.
According to the plan, they must persist for at least four hours to ensure the safety of the vast majority of citizens.
They were given too little time. From the time they discovered the Spectral Claw's attempt to land to the time they built a defense line, they only had three or four hours. It was difficult to build a decent defense line at all.
"Take a count of the casualties."
After the humans retreated and tanks and armored vehicles used firepower to suppress the Ghost Claw attack, Feng Yingshuang quickly asked those involved in the battle to start adjusting and check the casualties.
Soon, preliminary results were obtained. Five human warriors died and more than 20 were injured. On-site workers and some auxiliary personnel, eight died and more than 40 were injured.
Seven military soldiers were killed and 18 wounded.
It can be said that there were still many casualties.
However, looking at the corpses of Spectral Claw monsters lying all over the place in front of them, there are almost a thousand in number. In comparison, humans are considered to have achieved a great victory.
You must know that under the same circumstances, the Americans' firepower was so fierce that they still killed and injured hundreds of thousands of people, and they could barely withstand the impact of the Spectral Claw monster.
According to preliminary statistics from Americans, the death-to-human death ratio between Spectral Claw monsters is one to thirteen. The death of one Spectral Claw monster has cost the lives of thirteen Americans.
Even if combatants were replaced, the ratio would still be one to five.
Only twenty people from the 32 Group were killed in the battle, but the Spectral Claw paid the price of nearly a thousand heads.
Of course, there is still no comparison between the two sides.
The 32 Group has made preparations in advance and dug a hole to deal with the Spectral Claw monster, and the relevant personnel's understanding of the Spectral Claw monster is not comparable to that of the Americans.
Of course, this is nothing to show off. After all, the 32 Group has an absolute advantage in terms of terrain, and many people did not participate in the battle. In fact, only some of the main attackers participated in the battle.
What really made a difference was the military's weapons.
But then the crisis came, because the military's ammunition was beginning to be somewhat insufficient. The artillery shells in the tanks were now being fired with stored ammunition. Once they were all fired, they would have to fight hand-to-hand.
"How are the people in the city evacuating?" Feng Yingshuang herself was already out of breath. In the past two hours, she had been exhausted from continuously using inner energy and using long-range skills to rescue people many times.
The next moment is the most difficult moment, so her only thought now is to let these warriors who risk their lives to resist the ghost claw monster rest as soon as possible.
Soon, after the Spectral Claw completely occupied the container, it immediately launched an attack on humanity's second line of defense.
The open land made their actions even more violent. They jumped from the container, and then their momentum began to attack the second line of defense established by Feng Yingshuang and the others.
But soon, the armored fighting vehicles gave them a hard lesson with crossfire.
Then the tank began to fire, blasting the Ghost Claw monster that was accelerating up and flying directly into the air.
However, these appetizers could not stop the attack of the ghost claw monsters. After dozens of ghost claw monsters fell, soon the ghost claw monsters broke through the line of fire and began to attack.
"emission!"
Dozens of demonic spider webs shot out, instantly trapping the rushing Ghost Claw monster.
More than a dozen warriors with relatively high cultivation levels, including Feng Yingshuang, jumped out and poured out their long-range skills behind the trapped Nether Claw monsters, blocking the trapped Nether Claw monsters' backup.
Then dozens of experienced monster-slaying warriors bravely stepped forward, using their swords in their hands to attack the vital parts of the trapped monsters.
After four people were injured, the more than 30 ghostclaw monsters that attacked forward were directly killed collectively.
The corpses of lying ghostclaw monsters were piled up in front of everyone.
The ghost claw monster did not give up, and subsequent attacks immediately followed.
The demon spider web was fired again, and then Feng Yingshuang and others killed dozens of ghostclaw monsters again.
But the ghostclaw monster still pounced on it without fear of life or death.
Soon, they stepped over the corpses of their companions and attacked the humans guarding the second line of defense from the air.
Although most of them have been injured and disabled before they hit the ground, once they fall into the crowd, many people will be injured with a swing of their giant claws.
At first, Feng Yingshuang and the others could barely block it, but as the number of Ghost Claw monsters increased, more and more, and the military tanks could kill two Ghost Claw monsters with just one shell.
The second line of defense was in danger for less than half an hour. (To be continued.)
