The main entrance of the air-raid shelter is large enough to accommodate two trucks side by side, but the door is only half-open. Through the half-open door, one can see the flashing gunfire deep in the passage, as well as the giant insects rushing like a tide.
The soldiers in the cave were fighting and retreating. Ouyang Ping came to the entrance of the cave and carefully directed them, wishing that the process of exiting the air-raid shelter would be precise for every soldier.
In order not to affect the troops' assault on the No. 2 air raid shelter, he had handed over the assault troops to the command of the first company commander.
At this time, the second platoon leader suddenly reported that the intensity of the insect swarm's attack had weakened. Most of the insects that had been charging desperately just now had disappeared, leaving only a small group lingering.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Ouyang Ping immediately became alert, but why did the insect swarm retreat?
The loss is too great? It’s impossible. The aliens don’t care about the life and death of their servants. How can they care about a few bugs?
So……
Just as the thoughts emerged in his mind, the sound of gunfire suddenly weakened greatly like an ebbing tide. Then Ouyang Ping heard the shout of the first company commander: "Batalion Commander, the insects have retreated!"
"Retreat?" These two words turned around in Ouyang Ping's mind several times, and he understood the meaning. "Retreat to where?"
"have no idea……"
"Report!" the second company commander's voice interrupted the communication, "Come back to me!"
Ouyang Ping seemed to have a basin of ice water poured on his head: "Can you withstand it?"
"no problem!"
Ouyang Ping's thoughts were spinning, and he even thought about the biochip - what is the purpose of the aliens? Concentrate the troops to deal with the second company first?
No, these bugs do not fight by instinct, but are controlled by aliens. It makes sense to concentrate their advantages to deal with the second company, but the second company has already hid in the air raid shelter. Even if it is flanked by the insect swarm, there are only two directions to fight the enemy.
The situation here at the First Company is exactly the opposite. It can be said that they were forced out of the air-raid shelter by the insect swarm. As long as the insect swarm surrounds them, they will be attacked from all sides.
In comparison, Erlian is definitely a tough bone to chew, but Yilian is a piece of fat that reaches the mouth. How could the aliens not eat the fat and insist on chewing the bones first?
Could it be to gather support at a certain location?
This thought jumped into his mind, and Ouyang Ping's heart beat faster and faster, because he knew that he was at a crossroads of choice, and his decision would directly affect the success or failure of the mission, and even everyone's lives!
Never be careless, let alone make subjective assumptions!
Ouyang Ping made a decision in his heart and immediately shouted on the radio: "Second Company Commander, how long can you hold on?"
"As long as you still have bullets, it'll be fine."
"Keep in touch, First Company Commander!"
"arrive!"
"Get back!" Ouyang Ping suddenly gave an order that surprised everyone, and then immediately waved to the soldiers around him, "Enter the air raid shelter!"
After saying that, the first one got in.
The soldiers were all confused, not knowing what Ouyang Ping meant, but an order was an order, and the soldiers in the third row immediately followed and got into the air-raid shelter.
The first company commander who had just dispersed the insect swarm was even more confused, with a feeling of anger stuck in his chest and nowhere to vent.
He really wanted to lead the troops towards the No. 2 air raid shelter, but he only dared to think about it in his mind.
The well-trained soldiers moved quickly, but the team of more than a hundred people all got into the air-raid shelter in the blink of an eye. Even the door was slowly closed under the full push of several soldiers, leaving only a door gap less than one meter wide.
Even though the door crack was only one meter wide, Ouyang Ping arranged four machine guns behind the door, as well as two squads of soldiers. No matter how many insects came, they couldn't even think of rushing in through the door crack.
This was not a sudden idea on his part, but a tactic arranged before the airborne landing. The purpose was to attract the attention of the insect swarm. If the battle went unfavorably or for some other reason, the gate could be completely closed.
This thing is made entirely of depleted uranium and is more than twice as thick as the front armor of the tank. Even the most advanced armor-piercing bullets cannot penetrate the door.
Almost as soon as they were ready, countless giant insects came from all directions, and there was a dense knocking sound from the depths of the channel, which was the sound of giant insects running in the channel.
Ouyang Ping felt relieved: "Er Company, how is the situation there?" He was already sure that the sudden retreat of the insect swarm must be the conspiracy of aliens.
"Same as before...what...report, battalion commander, the bugs are gone, the bugs are back!"
Ouyang Ping felt completely relieved: "Act according to the original plan and defend the No. 2 air raid shelter!"
"Yes!" the second company commander agreed, and looked at the third company commander in surprise, "Why am I getting more and more confused?"
The third company commander shrugged, "I'm messier than you."
"Forget it, just do what you have to do." said the second company commander.
Then the two of them, one outside and one inside, continued to command the troops to fight against the insects.
Cave No. 1 was also on track. Ouyang Ping only left one platoon at the cave entrance, and the remaining troops were used to deal with the swarm of insects coming from the cave.
There was a loud sound of gunfire in the passage. The main force was still machine guns, but instead of firing all the machine guns, they fired two machine guns at the front. The soldiers behind took aim and fired accurately.
If you repel the insect swarm, withdraw a machine gun; if you push the insect swarm away from a safe distance, leave it as is for the time being; if you can't withstand the insect swarm's attack, add more machine guns.
The mission this time is to eliminate the bugs as much as possible, so even if the bug swarm cannot be driven away, the bugs cannot threaten the safety of the soldiers.
Maybe because Ouyang Ping exposed the aliens' plan, the aliens no longer played any tricks and just let the insects fight with humans. Countless giant insects poured out of the air-raid shelters and became the soldiers' enemies.
Number of enemies killed.
After a while, the insect corpses that fell in front of the defense line were piled up more than two meters high. The insects were still stepping on the corpses of their companions and rushing upwards. Ouyang Ping could not help but secretly wonder, how many insects were hidden in this hole? With such intensity.
If the fight continues, can the remaining ammunition last until the main force is airborne?
There was still a lot of ammunition, but the consumption rate was much faster than expected. The situation was once again beyond Ouyang Ping's expectations. He wanted to break the deadlock, but he didn't know how to start, and he was even more worried about encountering more accidents.
He hated this feeling of being out of control.
In the blink of an eye, the troops had retreated into the air-raid shelter for more than half an hour. The drizzle outside the cave had turned into a misty rain curtain. The insect swarms continued to rush towards the door, and were killed one by one by the soldiers guarding there.
Ouyang Ping walked slowly, suppressing the anxiety in his heart, and suddenly heard a voice in his ear: "Marida, Marida, this is Luzhou, please answer me!"
Ouyang Ping immediately stood still, and the haze in his heart was swept away: "Luzhou, I am Marida, I am Marida!"
"Commander, Marida has been contacted..." A burst of cheers came from the radio, and Ouyang Ping let out a long breath: "Luzhou, where are you? I need a little help!"
Speechless, yesterday’s fourth update added just over 2,000 new ones. Don’t you want to watch the plot of Return to Earth?
