Chapter 1652 The sense of crisis of the old general
The plants on the oasis are mainly Apocynum, with small pink five-petal flowers dotted among the green leaves. However, in the eyes of the soldiers, there is no vitality. The scene that happened not long ago is tantamount to warning people that this place is a land of enchantment.
A dangerous place for life.
General Geng Yunpeng, with a solemn look on his face, stood on the edge of the oasis, with soft sand under his feet. Xu Qing stood beside him. After experiencing the unexpected incident just now, he no longer dared to go further. These plants were so weird and tight.
He must stay by these old men's side to prevent anything from happening.
"Prepare a new type of incendiary bomb, everyone retreats five hundred meters." Geng Yunpeng raised his hand and issued an order in a deep voice. Then he turned around and walked away. This new type of incendiary bomb can be used with light mortars.
Launch, the maximum range is one kilometer, he thought for a long time before deciding to use this method to destroy all the plants in the oasis and disinfect the land.
The army retreated very quickly. With an order, the soldiers of the two regiments quickly retreated a distance of 500 meters. Five light mortars were lined up in a row, with a gunner on each one adjusting the shooting distance.
General Geng Yunpeng issued a second order with an expressionless face, with the No. 6 ancient city as the center, and bombs were dropped! This order is tantamount to destroying the ancient city on the ground. This new type of incendiary bomb can produce a Celsius-1 degree Celsius explosion when it explodes.
A high-temperature flame of thousands of degrees radiates around the explosion point. Active alkali metals are also added to the incendiary bomb. The hydrogen generated after combining with water can burn, which greatly enhances the power of the flame.
This oasis is like a devil with a charming appearance. If it is not completely destroyed immediately, I don’t know how many people and animals will die on this oasis. General Geng Yunpeng doesn’t think so long-term. He is now considering the two in front of him.
The safety of the regiment's soldiers, including his only granddaughter, an ancient city is too insignificant compared to these.
After the five light mortars were loaded, only a dull thud was heard, and puffs of smoke rose from the muzzle. Xu Qing saw from a distance a ball of fire blooming with the ancient city as the center, rapidly expanding from one point to the other.
Spreading, a huge solid ring of fire spread out and quickly swept the entire oasis...
The heat wave is rolling, as if even the air above the oasis has begun to boil. You can clearly see the ripples layer by layer. The scorching flames dye everything in the oasis into a pure color, red, like fire.
red.
Xu Qing could clearly feel the temperature emitted by this new type of incendiary bomb. Even if he was hundreds of meters away, he could feel the hot wind blowing against his face. The soldiers responsible for dropping the bomb had no expression on their faces. All they had to do was two simple things.
Things, loading, firing.
The burning time of the new incendiary bombs is limited. It took about fifteen minutes. Five specially-made light mortars fired nearly a hundred incendiary bombs in just five minutes. It stands to reason that they would not burn under the high temperature of thousands of degrees Celsius.
Any surface creature can continue to survive. The two boxes of incendiary bombs were quickly consumed, and the gunner remained in a semi-crouched position waiting for orders.
Colonel Jiang Weiguo trotted up to General Geng Yunpeng, gave a military salute with his feet, and said solemnly: "Report, the bomb drop is complete." In fact, he wanted to say that the two boxes of incendiary bombs he brought have been spent, and now he can only call a plane if he wants to drop them.
Come to airdrop.
Geng Yunpeng nodded and raised the watch on his wrist, took a look at it, and said in a deep voice: "Very good, let's rest where you are for an hour." He turned his head and said to Xu Qing beside him: "The heat dissipates relatively quickly in this place. You
Let’s rest where we are and get some food to fill our stomachs.”
Xu Qing responded with a hum, took off a backpack from his shoulder, opened it, took out a large piece of beef jerky and a bottle of mineral water, and started to nibble on it. This thing was his private goods specially hidden, and it was more compressed than those.
Things like dry food are much better.
This guy is a standard carnivore. A piece of beef jerky was quickly put into his stomach. He hid such a piece of private goods. After chewing it, he was not even half full. Just when he was thinking about whether to grab a few compressed pieces
The dry food was just enough to fill his stomach, when an oil paper bag stretched out from behind him.
"Hey! This is for you." Geng Na's voice came from behind, and then she put the oil paper bag on this guy's chest and turned around to leave. In fact, she originally wanted to come over to say thank you, but she happened to see this guy eating it.
After finishing the jerky, she was in a daze. Speaking of which, she made this five-spice beef jerky herself. There was a piece like this when delivering noodles last night. She didn't expect that he would secretly save it. Today she brought a big bag and thought of it.
It was to repay the favor just now.
The moment Xu Qing pressed the oil-paper bag to his chest, he already understood what was inside. He wanted to turn around and thank the girl who had already walked away. He didn't even understand why the girl gave him a package of beef jerky for no reason.
come over.
"The two people you rescued just now are her good friends. This five-spice beef jerky was originally given to me as lunch, but it's all at your advantage." The one who spoke was Geng Yunpeng next to him, and there was obviously a hint of sourness in his words.
Bu Luo lost his taste, and his favorite food was used as a favor by his granddaughter. The old general felt that it was necessary to wake up this boy and don't let his granddaughter's favor go to waste.
Xu Qing quickly opened the oil-paper bag. Inside was a stack of fragrant dried meat, which weighed about a kilogram. He pinched a piece and bit it in his mouth. He extended the paper bag to the old general beside him and said vaguely: "You
Eat some too, I can’t finish it anyway.”
Geng Yunpeng was not polite, he reached out and pinched a piece of dried meat and put it in his mouth to bite. It was seen that he was not young, so he liked chewy food, especially the spiced beef jerky made by his granddaughter.
"Hmm! That's right. I'll never tire of eating the beef jerky made by this girl." Geng Yunpeng chewed the jerky in a few mouthfuls, then stretched out his hand and pinched a piece. This time he began to chew slowly and taste the taste, using his teeth.
He tore off a small strip, chewed it, and whispered in his mouth: "I have heard that General Xiao Xu is the number one master of Chinese martial arts. Today I saw his skills. He is indeed a worthy warrior despite his great reputation."
Xu Qing pinched a piece of beef jerky and interrupted with a wave: "Come on, don't give me rice soup. If you have anything to say, it's best to spread it out. I'm an honest person and I won't do this." He had already heard the old man's voice.
The general had something to say, so there was no need to beat around the bush. He just wanted to take a quick walk inside the ancient city. It would be best if he returned home without finding anything.
Geng Yunpeng narrowed his eyes and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "There is something I want to explain to you. When you enter the ancient city, bury your belongings immediately. I always feel that there are things underground
It’s not simple. If something uncontrollable happens, don’t pay too much attention to the mission. As long as you can come out, be decisive and give us a lift. We old men have lived a long time, and we say enough is enough!”
