The rats, who were used to being domineering in Kangyue County, were obviously caught off guard.
They have probably never seen an opponent of this level.
At the beginning, after the fifty scout rats determined that there were twenty human vehicles here, they immediately went back to synthesize the intelligence, and then the rat king in the nearby area integrated an army of about ten thousand rats.
Assault army.
This rat king has shown enough respect for humans.
Ten thousand level troops are not too small either.
According to the Rat King's plan, the main task of the assault force is to bite off the circuits in these twenty vehicles.
This part of the mission will be carried out by a thousand well-trained professional rat warriors divided into a total of twenty teams.
Fifty rat warriors are assigned to each vehicle, which is enough sincerity.
As for the other nine thousand rats in the entire army, they are cannon fodder, used to distract humans, or to take advantage of the opportunity to launch killing raids.
Humans will definitely resist, and the rat army will definitely suffer casualties, but the Rat King doesn't care.
In its rat nest, there are nearly 30,000 rat babies just born at this time. It only takes twenty or thirty days at most for these babies to grow up and become smarter, wiser, stronger, and capable of learning.
A new generation of rats that is also stronger.
Now these old ministers who were born before the Great Era will die as soon as they die, which will also facilitate the survival of the fittest, speed up the iteration of the population, and keep up with the pace of other rat kings as soon as possible.
Of course, the Rat King is not really so ruthless. It still sincerely hopes that more and smarter rats will come forward under its command, even if it becomes its own superior Rat King, it doesn't matter.
Everything is for the population, everything is for evolution.
It's just that the number of rats is too large, and the Rat King doesn't have the ability to teach them one by one. He can only let ordinary rats transform themselves.
To put it bluntly, mice that are smart enough and have enough potential can always slowly find better ways to survive, and are more likely to persevere and survive in the war with humans.
The longer a mouse lives, the smarter it naturally becomes.
Rats do not regard the war with humans as a disaster at all, but only regard it as a means of rapid evolution.
Therefore, the silver rat king who was captured by Zhou You did not show any emotions, and only tried his best to disguise himself to protect the ability of the group. It was not until he saw the black and white cow cat that he failed due to his instinctive fear of natural enemies.
This rat king had a good battle plan, but unfortunately things didn't go in the direction he thought from the beginning.
The nine thousand lower rats responsible for the cover were the first to launch a surprise attack.
In the past, Kangyue County, faced with such a large number of rats, even an equal number of humans would fall into panic.
Therefore, the rat kings in Kangyue County have actually gradually become accustomed to this swarm-style combat strategy. They have made it clear that they win with quantity and plan to rely on stronger reproductive power and human consumption.
Even if every four or three rats on average can replace one human life, it is still profitable for the rats.
But this time, Kangyue Rat King saw another kind of reality in the world.
When the lower rat tide approached within the optimal shooting range of the twelve trucks placed at the outermost side of the convoy, the first gunshot suddenly rang out in the parking lot that had been silent just a moment ago.
The gunshot sounded like a flare gun in a sprint race.
The next moment, the headlights of all vehicles turned on at the same time.
Subsequently, dozens of single-person airships that were suspended in the sky in advance for emergency takeoff simultaneously turned on high-power searchlights.
The entire parking lot was illuminated as brightly as day.
At least in this small area, it is even brighter than the iodine tungsten lamp over at Granary Square.
In order to meet the slightly excessive weight of the miner's lamp, the pilots on these one-man airships did not carry any weapons at all.
Their job is to provide lighting.
The sudden strong light environment not only helps the human warrior standing at the shooting port to aim, but it also effectively weakens the advantage of the rodent's night vision ability.
The lower rat's charging momentum was disrupted by the bright light, and he was stunned.
Immediately afterwards, the expeditionary force soldiers in the shooting ports on each box-type cargo card opened fire at the same time.
The light of the red laser pointer shines on the group of rats.
These laser pointers are shaking on the ground according to different rules.
Some laser pointers are drawing figure eights, some are drawing circles, some laser pointers are reciprocating up and down or shaking left and right at high speed, and some laser pointers are flashing continuously.
After each laser pointer's light point guidance, there is often another shooting unit's firepower slanting down.
This is a large-scale night battle technique that was only figured out by the Expeditionary Force Operation Staff in the afternoon.
Sort and number the firepower in each three shooting windows to form a complete shooting unit.
During the battle, warriors in different windows will accurately cover the area guided by the laser pointer irradiated according to different rules according to the previously agreed attack targets.
Although it is inevitable for soldiers in different vehicles to have repeated signals, the defense zones of different trucks are inherently different. As long as the signal types of the laser pointers are arranged at intervals, repeated coverage can be effectively avoided.
After another day of adjustment, even the more than a thousand newly joined combatants were able to master this simple method of allocating firepower after the initial unfamiliarity, effectively preventing the waste of firepower caused by repeated coverage.
In addition to the red laser pointer, there is also a blue laser pointer with high power that can create a large blue light spot and shine on the ground.
These blue laser spots mainly take care of groups of rats that are stationed more closely together.
What followed the blue light spots were not various ordinary firearms and ammunition, but various grenade launcher shells.
In less than thirty seconds of fighting, the Rat King, who had tens of thousands of fighting male rats under his command, suffered unprecedented heavy losses.
Of its nine thousand cannon fodder, at least two thousand died in thirty seconds, which was tragic.
Of the thousand elite rat warriors who were following the cannon fodder or trying to get close to the vehicle, more than a hundred of them died.
But with such a desperate charge at all costs, there were indeed rat warriors and lower-level cannon gray rats who rushed under the box truck and the ordinary family car inside.
The rats immediately skillfully tried to climb up the tires and into the engine compartments of various vehicles.
Some of the lower rats were stumbling around like headless flies, unable to find their bearings.
But professional rat warriors are different. They are very familiar with the route. Some rat warriors are even familiar with the car models and know where the holes in the engine compartments of different models are, making it easier to get in.
The Rat King, who had been hiding in the far corner, observing the situation and continuing to issue orders, felt a little more relaxed when he saw this.
It believes that although some costs have been paid, the results are still bearable.
if only……
Just as he was thinking this, the rat king immediately felt a slight shock in his heart.
It turned out that many of its professional rat warriors had bumped headlong into the pressurized power grid at the bottom of each vehicle, causing them to crackle with electricity and become scorched on the outside and tender on the inside.
The Rat King has come into contact with the power grid before. For example, there is a complete set of powerful anti-theft power grids at the Kangyue Granary.
In just ten seconds, hundreds of rat warriors and hundreds of lower-level cannon gray rats fell under the power grid.
But so far this is the first time that the Rat King has encountered a power grid on these movable iron lumps.
Unfortunately, by this time, the rat king, who was smart enough, had realized that today's situation was not simple.
If it immediately ordered a full retreat and took the initiative to admit defeat, it would probably be able to escape unscathed at the cost of killing two thousand more of its subordinates.
It's a pity that this rat king doesn't seem to be as smart as the silver rat king in Dujiacun, nor does he have the decisiveness of a strong man to cut off his wrist.
Even though he had already suffered heavy losses, the Rat King chose to send the faster messenger rats to other places to ask for help from other Rat Kings. On the other hand, he ordered the rats under his command to continue to strengthen the offensive.
Today's rats are also quite experienced in how to deal with power grids.
The simplest way is to use cannon fodder to create a short circuit to the ground, then this thing will naturally have to be discontinued.
The mouse actually doesn't know what a short circuit is, nor does it know that the root cause of the power grid outage is that the pulse generator inside either overheats due to excessive continuous output power, or simply has a protective trip. The mouse does not understand these principles, but
But I know this idea is feasible.
However, today's expeditionary force technicians have long been accustomed to the idea of rats' physical bodies conducting electricity. After relying on the power grid to take advantage of two rounds, they took the initiative to shut down the power grid and put the attacking rats on the next level of defense.
The Rat King in the distance didn't know this detail. He just thought that the brave and fearless charge of his warriors had an effect and put an end to that hateful thing called electricity.
The Rat King felt that he was not far from victory, and it seemed that he could defeat this group of humans on his own. If he had known better, he would not have asked for help from other Rat Kings.
In the current social order composed of rat kings, military exploits gained in wars with humans are very important.
Even if no resources are obtained after the battle, as long as it can kill humans and consume human resources, it is a military achievement for the rats.
Although rats do not have the means of video recording, relying on the information sharing ability of brain wave resonance, the rat kings can completely communicate the causes and consequences of the entire battle.
This military exploit can effectively enhance the rat king's status within the clan. Not only can he gain the respect of other rat kings, but he can even annex lower-ranking clans whose military exploits are lower than his own.
In addition, there is more evidence that if a rat king can gain a lot of military exploits, even if it does not merge with other rat groups or obtain more resources, as long as the rat king himself and his group kill more humans, it will give
Human civilization has caused greater damage, and the level of intelligence will also be improved subtly.
The Rat King felt that this was his good opportunity.
Kangyue County has not seen such a large-scale human convoy operating outside for a long time. As long as this battle is won, the Rat King believes that he may be able to become a high-level Rat King in the county, and the size of the group he leads will also be expanded.
to more than 100,000.
But less than a minute passed before the Rat King's dream came to an end.
The elite rat warriors who successfully broke into the next layer of human defense still failed to get into the vehicle engine compartment.
What they encountered was armor that was thickened and smeared with lubricant mixed with rat poison.
At the same time, there are individual soldier pits at the seams of these armors, which are drilled in advance through the pipes in the vehicle. The human soldiers hiding in the pits can stab sharp objects directly from the holes with a diameter of 5 mm and feed them to passing rats.
Create damage.
In addition, the "city gates" cut out under the door panels of each vehicle also opened boldly, and well-equipped expeditionary force gunners stood out.
Since the parking lot area has cement leveling ground, it is very convenient to recycle ammunition, so in the case of close combat, these soldiers use high-pressure gas tank nail guns.
After the soldiers rushed out, they didn't think about saving ammunition at all. They adjusted the firing mode of their firearms to full-power bursts and then fired.
Such ferocious firepower brought astonishing damage to the rats in a very short period of time.
It only took the first group of soldiers thirty seconds to empty the high-pressure gas tanks, and they immediately retreated.
The second group of soldiers immediately stepped forward to continue their firepower.
Behind the first group of soldiers were neatly stacked spare gas tanks.
The replacement of the gas tank is very simple and is designed with a snap-on interface. Soldiers only need to disconnect the interface of the old gas pipe first, and then easily pull the buckle on the shoulder to loosen the clamp of the old gas tank and release the old gas tank.
The canister automatically drops onto the changing rack below.
Then the soldiers took another step to the side, squatted down slightly, aligned the position, and then pulled the buckle in the opposite direction. The clamp on the back could firmly fix the new gas tank into the buckle, and then stretched out their hands.
Go to the lower part of the back, grab the pipe of the new gas tank, align it to the side, and connect the interface with the automatic fastening elastic buckle.
This whole set of high-pressure gas tank replacement process only takes a few seconds in the hands of a skilled soldier. Even for a newbie, the longest time it takes is no more than twenty seconds.
When the first group of soldiers had all finished changing their equipment and stood forward to prepare for battle, the second group of soldiers had almost finished filling their air tanks, and it was another round of personnel replacement.
While the soldiers at the front were rotating, the support staff at the rear had also replaced the air tanks with new ones that were full.
The second group of soldiers can also restore firepower as quickly as possible.
Empty gas tanks will also be transported backwards on a conveyor belt.
In the trunk of the vehicle, there is a 12V powered portable tire air pump that is always on. It can not only refill the air tank returned, but also deliver high-pressure air to other continuous nail cannons installed on the vehicle through the connected air pipe.
Continuously output high-pressure air.
This entire firepower rotation plan was written by a logistics squad leader of the Lelai County Armed Police Squadron. It must be said that this has indeed greatly enhanced the firepower density of human soldiers.
After this minute, the Rat King's thousand elite rat warriors were reduced to less than two hundred, and the lower-level cannon gray rats died until there were only more than three thousand left.
This sudden outbreak of casualties was so fast and violent that it completely overwhelmed the Rat King's psychological expectations in an instant.
The Rat King began to order a retreat, but it was too late.
The expeditionary force turned from defense to offense in advance and launched a comprehensive counterattack.
Thousands of expeditionary force soldiers using single-shot gas tank nail guns and melee weapons rushed out and launched a fierce attack on the rats below who were about to turn around and run away.
At the same time, the rear compartment doors of many box-type trucks were fully opened at the same time, and the retractable inclined plate conveyor belt was quickly extended and connected to the ground.
The ground armored vehicle troops quickly rushed to the ground along these inclined plates, swept forward, and chased the Rat King's fleeing troops to the entrance of the parking lot.
Twenty drones were also dispatched in advance, specifically to hunt down the rats that the high-altitude scouts had used night vision binoculars to lock in advance and observe the situation on the periphery. They relied on imitation 98K sniper rifles with higher shooting accuracy, greater power, and greater lethality.
It hunts.
In the past, the rat king usually moved among the large army of rats. Although this made it almost impossible for humans to identify the rat king from the rat group, there would always be some unlucky rat kings who were eliminated by humans as if they were soldiers."
Manslaughter".
With the evolution of rats' wisdom, taking the original silver rat king as an example, the current rat king has become more rogue, no longer easily going to the front lines to take risks, but more inclined to hide behind and observe secretly.
After Luo Xun unexpectedly captured the Silver Rat King during the day, Zhou You and Deng Tao updated their tactics simultaneously.
Now, this trick is working wonders.
The unlucky rat king didn't even have time to tell his last words or name his next heir. Yin Yan, who didn't know his identity, shot him in the head from a distance and killed him on the spot.
Since then, this rat tribe has officially become leaderless, and its originally orderly retreat has turned into a chaotic and chaotic escape.
The more than 2,000 rats that still survived panicked and fled like crazy.
The expeditionary force did not pursue them too far. After expelling the rats from the parking lot area, they immediately returned.
At this time, another rat king from the rat tribe living nearby had just received a request for help from the messenger rat.
There was nothing to say. It was impossible to let the military achievements go to waste. The Rat King, who had the greater power under his command, immediately decided to dispatch the entire army.
A wonderful thing happened. When the rat king arrived with his team, the previous wave of fat sheep had just escaped, leaving no one behind. The scene seemed peaceful and peaceful.
In the parking lot, grassroots fighters and engineers were collecting ammunition for nail guns.
It was okay to miss the shot and fall on the ground, just pick it up, but thanks to the increasingly accurate shooting skills of the gunmen, a large part of the ammunition was simply embedded in the mouse's body. This part of the ammunition was really difficult to collect, so the progress was very slow.
slow.
The sentry responsible for reconnaissance outside the parking lot wall saw this new enemy for the first time.
The new battle situation was immediately synchronized to the phone watch group, and the horn of the command vehicle where Deng Tao was located sounded three times in succession.
Ground forces immediately made adjustments.
The engineers wearing only basic armor immediately returned to the vehicle. The combat personnel, who were fully armed and loaded with ammunition and supplies, threw the half-collected items on the ground and returned to the bottom of the vehicle.
Lurk up.
Listening to the intensive sound of nail guns outside again, Shen Ling put down the soldering iron in her hand and said to Zhou You who was holding the parts on the side: "There's a fight outside again. Don't you really want to go out and take a look?"
Zhou You shook his head, "Brother Tao and I made an agreement that if he really needed me to participate in the war, he would call me first. If the call couldn't be reached, he would also honk the horn in his car for ten seconds. Since he didn't, That means there is no need. The expeditionary force is a collective, and naturally it cannot be transferred without anyone, including me. Let me say something that is not so pleasant, even if I die one day, I hope that someone can immediately When he grows up, he can take over my position. Then, whether it is the Zhou family or Lelai County, they have only lost one person who has a fairly good fighting ability and is serious and responsible in his work, instead of losing his soul all of a sudden."
Zhou Youyou was very upright and had the greatest confidence in people outside.
But Shen Ling looked at him suspiciously.
In fact, when this guy came over before, Shen Ling instinctively felt that his purpose was not simple, but she was really busy and forgot to ask him what he was thinking.
More than ten minutes passed, and the army led by the second rat king was also defeated, and more than 20,000 corpses were left in the parking lot before they successfully evacuated.
The second Rat King was quite lucky. He hid deep enough when observing the situation, so he was not quickly hunted by the drone army.
In just one hour, two groups of rats dropped a total of 30,000 corpses in the parking lot.
Zhou You waited until the battle was over before going out to take a look.
The battle situation here is so smooth that many people are even confused.
Obviously these rats are very weak, and humans can repel their seemingly ferocious attacks with almost no effort, but why are humans still unable to do anything, and are even suppressed to the point where they can hardly get out of the granary gate.
However, everyone soon knew the reason.
I originally thought that after two groups of mice fell into the sand, I would be able to sleep peacefully tonight, but I never thought that only half an hour had passed and the ammunition collection work was only one-third complete, and the third one came unexpectedly. There are more than 50,000 wave rats.
Not only that, the equipment of this third wave of rats is also more sophisticated. Some of the rats are even wearing wooden armor that is so well made that it does not look like it came from the mouths of rats, and some rats even use iron armor.
These armors can effectively resist or deflect gas tank nail gun attacks.
Not only that, the elite of these armored elites are particularly cunning, and have even learned to hold an iron rod in their mouth, then place the iron rod on the power grid, and connect the lower end of the iron rod to the ground to cause a short circuit.
Fortunately, the expeditionary force now has super-standard battlefield communication capabilities with the help of mobile base stations. When the first vehicle accidentally discovered the short-circuit tripping phenomenon, it immediately reported the situation to the entire army in the battlefield intelligence system.
Deng Tao immediately made temporary adjustments and dispatched an elite force composed of a total of thirty overruns to force their way to the ground first.
Even the woman who was just rescued today, who had been ravaged by a scum man for many days, awakened beyond her limits and succeeded in revenge, also volunteered to join this elite team.
This woman's name is Zeng Lina, and she does look pretty after washing up and changing her clothes. Although her fate was miserable, no one in the expeditionary force had anything bad to say about her because of her experience. On the contrary, everyone was very gentle. , taking great care of her emotions.
It took about a few hours for Zeng Lina to relax a lot.
She remembered what the remote team leader named Luo Xun and the professional nurse told her.
"Nothing is more important than living. Times are different now, and so-called chastity is not that important at all. Things have happened, and we can't go back and change history, so we can only let our feelings come out. Understand from another perspective.
, you just think that thing is a mosquito, it pricks you a few times, and then you slap it to death, and you can get over it. Otherwise, you just think of that thing as a mosquito one day
If you fall in love with someone you just met and have a weird relationship for a few days, then you get tired of it and kill him, wouldn't it be much more comfortable? Don't talk about it now, I know it was in the past
When we were young, some girls got old at playing. Now, let me show you this thing. This is the "Guide", an encyclopedia manual that can guide us humans in all the next basic necessities of life. What do you say after reading it?
Matters between men and women..."
Luo Xun's words were rough, but miraculously they fit Zeng Lina's state of mind and found the best way for her to forget her pain.
So, now Zeng Lina has decided to embrace a new destiny.
She believed that since she had experienced the torture of fate and gained the ability of a trans-limiter, she should also join forces with the others in this team, pick up the knife in her hand and plunge into the battlefield of blood and fire.
Whether you die in battle or continue to transform during the war, living this way finally has some meaning, and it will not be regarded as a life lived in vain.
To some extent, she wanted to die.
After this special force was put into use, the elites in the third wave of rats immediately suffered heavy losses.
Although rats have a numerical advantage, as the density of rats increases, although conventional ammunition is no longer sufficient for the expeditionary force, grenade-type weapons that have not been used much before have begun to play a starring role.
Various hand-thrown bombs were also used with high intensity.
Under the protection of fragmentary weapons, the special forces quickly shuttled at the bottom of the convoy, and under the cover and guidance of the drone air force, they focused on hunting the armored rats.
When these armored rats were almost dead, the ground troops came out again.
This time, the expeditionary force once again changed its weapons and equipment.
When fighting, melee weapons are the main weapon, and gunpowder rifles are the supplement.
The style of melee weapons on the human side has also changed. Some of the main melee warriors with stronger absolute strength no longer use the many spears and swords before, but instead use melon hammers with a hammer head and a counterweight.
In front of Guazhui, the thin-skinned wooden armor on the mouse was a bit unsatisfactory.
Humans take advantage of the body shape of upright walking animals, as well as better arm span and posture advantages. When swinging the hammer head, they can make a large circle, fully utilizing the advantage of arm span, and at the same time, they can also use rotation to generate stronger impact force.
.
When a heavy melon hammer hits a mouse, even if it is blocked by wooden armor, the mouse below will be seriously injured.
In addition, Deng Tao finally pressed the whistle signal as agreed with Zhou You.
You walked to the back of the engineering vehicle, stood in the humanoid armor, and then picked up the rotary blade lawn mower.
The wire broom sweeper, which had never shown its ferocious fangs, also started to move.
…
More than an hour later, the third battle came to an end as the third rat king ordered a retreat.
At least 70,000 rat carcasses were left around the parking lot.
The expeditionary force sent a mountain-knocking rat to the rats in Kangyue County.
