The entire company immediately divided into three parts. The first platoon gathered around Ouyang Ping and established a defense line on the spot. The second platoon rushed to the air raid shelter and prepared to reconnoiter the situation in the cave. The third platoon assembled between the two, ready to support friendly forces at any time.
At the same time, the soldiers of the second company fell towards the No. 2 air-raid shelter in the distance; the soldiers of the third company scattered and landed, with exactly four people responsible for one airdrop pod.
After touching the ground, the soldiers immediately lifted up the airdrop pod and ran towards the air raid shelter.
If you are carrying a flight bag, you cannot bring an armored backpack. The ammunition you carry is limited, so you must deliver the airdrop pod to the first and second companies as soon as possible.
The third company's speed was not slow, but the insect swarm was faster. Before the ammunition was delivered, the insect swarm had already rushed into Ouyang Ping's sight.
Suddenly, dense gunshots came from the distance. Without saying a word, Ouyang Ping raised his gun and fired at the insect. The bullet flew out of the muzzle and hit the giant insect's forehead instantly. The insect's shell shattered and blood flew out.
The body fell to the ground.
The sound of gunfire was an order. A row of soldiers fired at the same time, but everyone subconsciously saved ammunition and fired after aiming at the target. No one wasted bullets. The result was that the bullet density was low.
The insects lay on the ground one after another, but the shooting speed was far inferior to the charging speed of the insects. However, in the blink of an eye, the insect swarm rushed closer to twenty or thirty meters.
Ouyang Ping felt the pain in his balls again, and suddenly turned around: "Three rows, all the machine guns, come over here!"
Three squads of three machine gunners quickly jumped over and joined forces with a row of three machine guns, three on each side. The dense crossfire immediately cut into the front line of the insect swarm, even with the sound of gunfire.
It couldn't cover up the sound of the insect shell breaking.
This time the rifle's shooting speed was even slower, and the soldiers unanimously switched to precision shooting, specifically to hit the skulls of insects.
This kind of insect also has a bigger head, otherwise it would not be that easy to target the skull.
Although the first platoon stabilized the defense line, there were more and more giant insects, and the pressure on the soldiers was also increasing.
A machine gunner ran out of bullets and shouted loudly: "Change bullets!"
As he shouted, the firepower output of the machine gun dropped by one-sixth, and the front line of the insect swarm immediately jumped forward several meters.
The other machine gunners quickly increased their firepower, and two more machine guns were found.
Now the trouble was serious. Ouyang Ping, who had been shooting at random, suddenly tightened the trigger: "Stop playing, suppress the bug!"
The soldiers also knew that the situation was critical, so they all switched from burst shooting to strafing fire, no longer thinking about saving bullets.
The capacity of the magazine is limited. If the soldiers tighten the trigger, they can empty a magazine in the blink of an eye. As a result, the radio is filled with calls to change the magazine.
The lowest one in the team was a veteran who had been in the army for several years. They were very good at tactical moves such as changing the magazine with one hand. Many people had just finished shouting to change the magazine, and the new magazine was already stuck on the gun.
The machine gun finally had its magazine replaced, but the other three were also shot out of bullets. The rifle had another magazine replaced before the machine gun returned to normal.
The magazines on the soldiers were already half empty. How could Ouyang Ping dare to let the soldiers shoot randomly, so he immediately ordered the soldiers to switch to burst shooting.
At this time, the first group of the third company finally arrived at the edge of the field. The four soldiers worked together to send an airborne capsule to the back of the defense line: "The bullets are coming!"
Ouyang Ping threw the empty magazine over without hesitation: "Press the bullet!"
Only half of the bullets in the airborne capsule were in the magazine, and the other half were loose bullets.
The others also followed suit and threw over a hundred empty magazines in a blink of an eye. The eyes of the soldiers of the Third Company were stunned.
In addition, the machine gunner's roar can also be heard on the radio: "Where is the ammunition box? Where is the ammunition box?"
"The ammunition box is here, the ammunition box is here -" Another group of people rushed over, lifted up the airborne capsule that was several times larger than a coffin, and carried a box of bullets in each hand to deliver it to the machine gunner.
Ouyang Ping felt a little worried. While firing, he asked on the radio: "Second Company, how is the situation there?"
"The insect swarm is attacking fiercely, and we are holding on."
"Can you hold it?"
"should be no problem."
"Hold on a little longer, and immediately withdraw into the air raid shelter after collecting the ammunition!"
"yes!"
Ouyang Ping continued to shout: "Second Platoon, how is the situation?"
"Everything is normal... bugs!" a voice exclaimed on the radio, "Report to the battalion commander that bug swarms were found in the air raid shelter!"
Ouyang Ping suddenly became anxious: "How many are there?"
"There are so many, countless, we can hardly bear it anymore..." As he said, continuous explosions came from the radio.
Ouyang Ping suddenly turned around: "Third platoon, support the second platoon immediately, quickly, quickly, quickly!"
The people in the third row were stunned for a moment, then ran to the air-raid shelter.
The soldiers of the third company arrived one after another, and Ouyang Ping simply sent the soldiers of the third company, as well as the airborne capsules the soldiers brought back, into the air raid shelter.
After waiting uneasily for more than two minutes, Ouyang Ping finally heard a heavenly voice: "Second Platoon reports, the defense line is stable!"
"Are there still that many bugs?"
"There are still so many, I don't know how many there are in the cave!"
Ouyang Ping suddenly had an idea. Did the aliens already know the purpose of the equipment in the air-raid shelter? Or did the aliens simply place the insect swarm in the air-raid shelter?
He was a little shaken in his heart. If the bugs were all concentrated in the air-raid shelter, the possibility of people breaking into the air-raid shelter would be too small. It would be better to blow up the air-raid shelter directly once and for all.
The problem is that the purpose of blowing up the air-raid shelter is not to deal with bugs, but to destroy the equipment in the hole. You have to go deep into the air-raid shelter and place nuclear bombs in the middle of the equipment to destroy all the equipment at one go.
The equipment cannot be blown up without being penetrated, and the bugs are hiding in the holes but cannot be penetrated. It is simply an unsolvable paradox that almost caused Ouyang Ping to suffer internal injuries.
They say plans don’t change quickly, but this change is too drastic, right? Even when the navy arrives, there’s still nothing you can do in the air-raid shelter. In the end, you have to rely on soldiers to break in step by step.
When the situation developed to this point, Ouyang Ping found that he still thought too simply, and he couldn't help but feel a little hesitant in his heart. Should he continue to stick to the original plan, or give up the original plan and find another place to wait for the main force.
However, this place thrives for the smelting of uranium ore. Apart from the docks, storage areas and industrial areas, there is only one residential area left. Except for air-raid shelters, other places are not suitable for the brigade headquarters to hide.
Ouyang Ping was immediately confused.
At this moment, he suddenly received a message from the second company commander: "Batalion Commander, there are few bugs here!"
Ouyang Ping's eyes lit up, and this was: "Second Company Commander, are you sure?"
"OK, we have retreated into the air raid shelter."
That’s it!
Ouyang Ping was overjoyed: "Attention, everyone, evacuate the No. 1 air-raid shelter immediately. Repeat, evacuate the No. 1 air-raid shelter immediately!"
