Long Jianguo took a breath and said: "The most important part of this plan is time. The main cave is in the hands of the enemy. My troops operate in squad units. We must seize the time to enter the main cave and delay the enemy.
Let the enemy break into the branch hole, and the trapped troops will be in danger."
"Then what are you waiting for?" Bian Ge asked.
"I have given the order and the troops are taking action," Long Jianguo said.
"Are you sure?"
"No." Long Jianguo said truthfully, "It is not difficult to break into the main cave. What is difficult is whether the trapped troops can hold on until the main force breaks in. What's more, after entering the main cave, not only do you have to repel the enemy, but you may also have to clear out the enemy forces.
If things go wrong for the enemy in the cave, they will have to attack from both front and rear. If the rescue force allows the enemy to disperse... the consequences will be disastrous."
"How many troops do you plan to invest along the way?" Bian Ge asked.
"One to two companies, no more can be used." Long Jianguo said, "Priority is given to rescuing the lost troops. Those who can be contacted will depend on the degree of danger, and those who can save themselves will try to save themselves."
Bian Ge gritted his teeth when he heard this. There were so many main and branch caves and so many troops. He also had to decide which troops were in danger and needed to be rescued first, and which troops were in good condition and could save themselves. Just thinking about it made him realize how much pressure the command was under.
And it's okay if everything goes smoothly. If something unexpected happens in the middle, the troops who should be rescued are not rescued, and the rescue troops are even involved. The subsequent rescue plan may be ruined. If things go wrong, Long Jianguo will be ineffective.
As a result, I will have to go to court-martial when I return to Earth.
At this time, Bian Ge had led the second regiment through the giant ship and was heading towards the bottom. Looking at the cave on the wall of the well, a thought suddenly came to him: "Old Long, I have an idea, please refer to it."
"What's the idea?"
"That's right. Did the troops write down the locations of all the caves when they entered the shaft?"
"right!"
"That's good." Bian Ge said, "I just came out of the giant ship, and the giant ship is very tight. I think Wanzhen can send troops into the giant ship again, find the location of the cave according to the previous records, and start from the giant ship.
Blast open the shell inside the ship, open the cave, and take out the trapped people!"
"Is it possible?" Long Jianguo hesitated very much, "The plan is quite good, but the caves blocked by the giant ship are all on support points. There is no need to explode the places with gaps. The places without gaps are support points. If the supports are
If the point explodes, what should I do if the giant ship slides down again?"
"Wouldn't that be better? Let the giant ship fall down and make room for it. Blasting and excavation will be much more convenient than now!" Bian Ge said, "It's better to just blow up the support points and let the giant ship slide down directly!"
Long Jianguo said hesitantly: "It's easy to blow up a giant ship, but what if it slips for a while and then gets stuck? Those who should be rescued are not rescued, and those who were fine are trapped again. Maybe we won't even be able to gather the troops to rescue people."
!”
"Then blow up the giant ship with a nuclear bomb!" Bian Ge gritted his teeth, "Blow the giant ship to pieces directly. What do you think?"
"I reserve my opinion." Xiao Yuan said, "The diameter of the shaft is too small, and even the smallest nuclear bomb is too powerful. It will definitely affect the shaft. If the strength of the shaft is damaged, it will be troublesome."
"I also think it's better to be cautious. Although this method is simple and direct, the consequences are unpredictable, and you can't do it randomly unless it is absolutely necessary." Long Jianguo said.
Two to one, Bian Ge sighed: "Well, I'll listen to you."
The three people unified their opinions and immediately acted according to the planned plan. The first and second regiments blocked the passage below the shaft as quickly as possible, while the divisional troops, under the command of Long Jianguo, attacked several branch holes near the giant ship.
The attacking team soon encountered the enemy. Under Long Jianguo's order, each advancing team concentrated several machine guns to clear the way.
In order to offset the recoil of the machine gun, the machine gunner who fired wildly had to be followed by several soldiers. They pushed the backs of their comrades one after another to ensure that the team moved forward quickly.
The barrel of the gun rotates rapidly, and bullets are sprayed at the enemy as if they are free. The dense rain of bullets fills the tunnels, leaving no room for the enemy to escape. Any noble army that encounters these teams will end up being hit by a torrential rain of bullets.
Break into a sieve.
The military has long been equipped with 12.7 mm armored rifles. Whether it is against giant insects or aliens, armored rifles have always been the main rifle of the military. However, except for armored rifles, other weapons equipped by the army are like a revolving door.
stop.
In the early years, considering the convenience of logistics support and the versatility of ammunition, the caliber of machine guns and sniper rifles were also 12.7 mm. Rifles, machine guns and sniper rifles had common ammunition, but their performance in actual combat was not very good.
The large-caliber 12.7mm sniper rifle is invincible against humans, but aliens are tall and covered with a shell. Unless they hit the vital point accurately, it is difficult to kill them with one hit. Therefore, the military uses 20mm sniper cannons.
It replaces the original sniper rifle and strives to kill the enemy with one shot during war.
The super large caliber of 20 mm gives the sniper gun super power. Even if it fails to hit the vital points of the alien, it can still kill the alien in a very short time.
Anyway, sniper rifles are precision firepower. Training a sniper consumes tens of thousands of ammunition, but the ammunition consumed in actual combat is often only dozens or hundreds of rounds, so there is no pressure on ammunition.
Machine gunners are just the opposite. Machine guns are suppressive firepower, and combat relies on firepower density, not precision shooting.
However, the 12.7mm machine gun bullets are too large and heavy, and the machine gunner and assistant gunner cannot carry many rounds of bullets in total. They dare not open the fire, otherwise they will run out of bullets in a short time.
It would be fine if we have our own logistical support, but if we go deep behind enemy lines, the machine gunner must try his best to save bullets. The result is that the machine gunner fires in short bursts as much as possible. The firepower density is about the same as that of an armored rifle. The tactical significance of suppressing firepower is completely lost. It is not as good as
It is convenient to use the armored rifle directly.
In order to improve this situation, the military had to replace the armored machine guns with 7.62mm multi-barreled machine guns.
In terms of power, the 7.62mm is indeed far inferior to the 12.7mm, but it is not impossible to penetrate aliens. It is just a matter of having too many fuselage guns.
Moreover, after changing the gun, the machine gunner can carry four times as much ammunition as before. In extreme cases, it can even reach six to eight times. He can spread firepower to the enemy as much as he wants. After discovering the enemy, he will often hit it with bullets like raindrops, and he will be defeated in the blink of an eye.
It can leave more than a dozen transparent holes in aliens.
The lack of lethality is made up for by quantity. The deterrent effect of medium-caliber machine guns on the enemy is much stronger than that of armored machine guns.
This is like the difference between a rifle and a shotgun. A rifle can indeed kill people, but a shotgun blast will leave blood holes all over the body. The psychological pressure it brings to people is actually stronger than that of a rifle.
I know there must be many book friends who don't like to read data, but I couldn't help myself halfway through writing.
