In addition to the second platoon of the first company, a platoon of the third company was also put into the air raid shelter one after another. Although there were no reports of casualties yet, the fighting in the cave was very fierce. You could not just retreat if you wanted to. You had to alternate cover and fight while retreating.
If the troops in the air-raid shelter cannot withdraw, the defense line outside the cave cannot be moved. Otherwise, the insect swarm will be blocked in the cave before the troops can withdraw. At that time, the two platoons will be attacked from both sides inside and outside the cave, and the two platoons will be in trouble.
Ouyang Ping simply left only one row to hold the defense line, and all the rest of the troops went into the air-raid shelter to assist the evacuation of the people in the cave.
After replenishing some personnel, the combat pressure in the cave was much reduced. The soldiers covered each other and retreated in turns like running water.
Outside the cave, Ouyang Ping and his platoon opened fire with all their strength, facing huge pressure without retreating.
At this time, no one could care about the ammunition. Everyone was working hard to shoot as many bullets as they could, using all their strength to prevent the insect swarm from approaching.
The giant insects rushing at the front fell one by one in the hail of bullets, but the firepower of the row was still a little weaker. The front line of the giant insects was getting closer and closer, thirty meters, twenty meters... the defense line established by the row
Precarious.
Ouyang Ping took off the grenade and threw it into the swarm of insects. The heavy grenade hit the giant insect on the forehead and fell to the ground.
The giant insect stopped curiously, flipped its jaws, and actually bit the grenade in its mouth.
Boom - The heavy defensive grenade exploded in the insect's mouth, immediately blowing the insect's head to pieces, with broken insect shells and flesh flying everywhere.
But except for this unlucky giant insect, the nearby insects only suffered minor injuries at most.
But Ouyang Ping's line of sight was blocked by the front line, and he didn't see many bugs killed by the grenade at all. He only saw a few bugs knocked down after the explosion.
He thought the grenade had worked, so he threw all the grenades on his body cleanly before picking up the rifle and firing again.
Some soldiers also started firing grenades, and the continuous explosions knocked down a giant insect.
At first, everyone thought that these bugs were seriously injured even if they were not dead. It was not until they saw the bugs shaking their heads and getting up again that they realized that something was wrong.
Ouyang Ping almost ground his back molars, took off the empty magazine and threw it back: "Live magazines, give me some live magazines!"
The soldier responsible for compressing the bullets almost cried and quickly threw the two freshly compressed magazines over.
The battle was so fierce that the magazines were consumed surprisingly quickly. The compressed magazines in the airdrop cabin had already been depleted, leaving only half a box of loose bullets.
Several soldiers had already begun to press the bullets, but there were only eight people pressing the bullets. No matter how fast they pressed, they could not supply the consumption of a platoon.
The soldiers kept complaining in their hearts, why are not all the bullets in the magazine?
This is still supported by a quick depressor. If you just press it with your fingers, the micro motor on the back of your hand may burn out.
Ouyang Ping also discovered this problem. Several soldiers who had used up all their bullets could not get refills!
He made a sudden move and asked the soldiers to retreat to the back to suppress the bullets, while the machine guns in front were used to hit them first.
By this time, the machine gun was approaching its limit. The barrel of the gun had already turned dark red, and the bullets fired had long since missed the target. If the bugs hadn't rushed too close, it was hard to say whether they could have hit the bugs.
One suddenly jumped out of the crowd and landed less than ten meters away from the defense line. Its powerful insect legs suddenly squatted down, then jumped forward suddenly and pounced on the soldiers on the defense line.
The soldiers fired at it instinctively, and while the insect was still in the air, its skull was shattered by the dense bullets.
However, the instinctive concentration of fire caused the intensity of firepower in other directions to plummet. The front line of the insect swarm also took the opportunity to move forward, and was about to rush within the ten-meter line!
Ouyang Ping could already imagine the terrifying sight of a large number of giant insects flying around. He suddenly shouted: "Listen to my command, everyone, step back...and then...back..."
The soldiers retreated step by step under Ouyang Ping's command, and at the same time opened fire with all their strength, trying to keep a distance of more than ten meters from the insect swarm as much as possible.
But not far behind is the air-raid shelter, and it won't take long for you to retreat into the air-raid shelter... Thin raindrops suddenly fell from the sky, and little drops of rain fell on the barrel of the gun, making a hissing sound.
Ouyang Ping's eyes were so anxious that his eyes were red, but there was nothing he could do except stiffen up.
If it was still the time of Ganymede, he would have had heavy weapons to deal with bugs, but now he has no heavy equipment at all and relies on rifles and machine guns.
At this time, he had already begun to regret. Why didn't he show off and snatch such a death-defying mission? Wouldn't it be better to airborne with the main force?
He didn't want to admit it, but with the Airborne Division's situation, it was difficult for him to go any further. If he wanted to develop, he had to pay the price.
It was precisely because of this thought in his heart that Ouyang Ping took the initiative to take on this task, but he did not expect to encounter so many twists and turns.
If he had it to do over again, he would never jump out again.
The semicircular defense line became shorter and shorter, and finally turned into a straight line. With just a few steps to go, their backs were about to hit the wall. Seven or eight people finally emerged from the air raid shelter. When they saw the situation outside, they said nothing.
Don't even mention picking up a gun and start shooting.
With the addition of this new force, the precarious front line has finally stabilized.
Another squad rushed out of the air raid shelter, the counterattack force strengthened again, and the front line of the insect swarm was finally suppressed by the powerful firepower.
More soldiers rushed out of the air-raid shelter, and intensive gunshots came from the cave. Ouyang Ping knew that he could not wait any longer. He shouted on the radio: "Platoon leader, I leave this to you!" After saying that, he turned and ran towards
The soldiers who had just left the air raid shelter waved their hands, "Target No. 2 air raid shelter, move forward——"
After shouting, he pulled out his pistol... This time he did not rush out, but led the soldiers to attack in the direction of the No. 2 air raid shelter. They first expanded the occupied area at the entrance of the cave, then penetrated the obstruction of the insect swarm, and finally rushed to the No. 2 air raid shelter.
.
He really wanted two magazines first, but he was so full of momentum that the first thing he did when he turned around was to ask for the magazines, which was really inappropriate.
Ouyang Ping had no choice but to resist his impulse and took out a pistol that could do nothing.
More and more soldiers rushed out of the air-raid shelter, and the troops began to advance towards the No. 2 air-raid shelter. In order to strengthen the firepower, the soldiers of the third company held the airborne capsule in one hand and opened fire with the rifle in the other hand.
Since the airborne landing, our own firepower has never been so intensive. The insect swarm cannot rush forward at all. Anyone who dares to take the lead will die.
However, Ouyang Ping did not follow him. He still had to command the troops behind him... Leaving was not that easy. The insect swarms in the air raid shelter were rushing out with all their strength. If the first and second rows did not coordinate well, the troops would be overwhelmed by the insect swarm.
.
And there were so many bugs along the way. How could he break through the swarm? What worried him even more was the No. 2 air raid shelter, where the gunfire never stopped.
