After a few seconds, the light beam dissipated, and Ye Han involuntarily exhaled a breath. Just as he was about to speak, the light beam fell from the sky again, and once again landed on the southern part of New Guia.
Any place shrouded by lasers has turned into a purgatory of flames. The remaining insectoids are hiding in solid buildings and lingering. As long as they do not leave the building and are not directly irradiated by lasers, their lives will not be in danger.
Even if their minds are controlled by aliens, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is still rooted in the instinct of all insect people, driving them to hide honestly.
Of course, the military would not ignore this. At the same time as the laser fell, the cannons of the southeastern fleet also let out a thunderous roar. The shells flew straight into the buildings on the island, destroying the insect men's hiding places one by one.
In a moment of desperation, some of the bugs escaped from the building where they were hiding, and sadly turned into barbecues. While the remaining bugs were hesitating, fatal shells hit the building.
Although the caliber of naval guns is not large, one or two cannons cannot destroy modern reinforced concrete buildings, but the fleet has a lot of cannonballs, and it is just a matter of a few extra rounds.
If it doesn't work, there is a Lishan signal in the sky. If you throw anything down, even the underground bunker won't be able to hold it.
This was repeated several times, and the entire southern part of New Guia almost returned to the primitive wilderness. Even if the insect man was lucky enough to escape the laser, he would still be buried by the collapsed building. No matter how he hid, he would die.
A few minutes later, the super artillery ended the air strike, and then the southeastern fleet's bombardment also stopped.
It only lasted five minutes from the time the super cannon opened fire to the end of the bombardment, but this period was a nightmare in southern New Guia, known as the Black Five Minutes in history.
This is not an exaggeration. Within five minutes, one-fifth of the area of New Guia was covered by lasers. Large tracts of jungle were carbonized and burned, and all life on the ground died. Forest fires caused by lasers burned fiercely and sent black smoke straight into the sky.
It can be seen from satellites that the forest fire is spreading outside the air raid area. If the fire is not controlled, it will not be long before it develops into an ecological disaster affecting the entire island.
The northern capital immediately ordered the southeastern fleet to land in New Guia. However, the task of the landing force was not to fight, but to open a fire isolation zone on the island to prevent the fire from spreading to other directions on the island of New Guia... Forest fires can be divided into surface fires and crown fires.
There are three types of fire and underground fire. The fire left behind by the attack is a crown fire, which is very difficult to put out. The best way is to rely on roads, rivers and other favorable terrain to open isolation zones.
The first ground attack of the super cannon was very successful. The Battle of New Guia was definitely a resounding victory. Many people had never even thought that the super cannon could be used in this way, let alone that the island attack could be fought in this way.
But no one expected that the super cannon would leave such a huge sequelae.
In order to extinguish the forest fires as quickly as possible, the landing troops adopted the tactic of landing at multiple points and advancing hand in hand. They drove into New Guia from several directions at the same time and engaged in fire-fighting operations as quickly as possible. The landing troops were all professional combat troops and were not professional in fighting fires.
Fortunately, opening an isolation zone is not a technical task. In just half a day, the landing troops opened hundreds of kilometers of isolation zone.
In addition, the landing troops also took advantage of the favorable terrain of mountains and rivers to extinguish hundreds of kilometers of fire lines.
Afterwards, the landing force found hundreds of charred corpses of bugs in the burned jungle. According to military speculation, the vast majority of bugs died under the joint strangulation of super cannons and fleets, and only a small number of bugs died.
The number of people who fled into the primitive jungle was probably a few hundred, and no more than a thousand at most.
These bugs are definitely a hidden danger, but their numbers are too small and unorganized, and they pose no threat to the subsequent landing operations.
If they are hiding honestly, then hello, me, hello, everyone, the military has no time to control them for a while. If they are restless and dare to jump out to cause trouble, whether it is the Southeast Fleet or the Lishan, they can
A devastating blow immediately.
On the afternoon of January 2, 2031, the sky over New Guia was covered with dark clouds, and a heavy rain came as expected, completely extinguishing the spreading fire line. The landing troops were finally freed, and began to clear out the remaining insectoids and occupy important nodes on the island.
At this point, New Guia has been controlled by the military, and complete naturalization is only a matter of time.
Decisive progress has also been made in operations in the direction of Calitan and the Philippine Islands. However, Beijing has no plans to immigrate to these islands for the time being, and all islands are under military control.
According to the plan, the engineering force will build a number of military fortresses at key locations on each island to resist alien invasion.
After everything settled, Ye Han unexpectedly discovered that on the military map, Calidan had been changed to its ancient name of Baltic Island, Philippine Island had been changed to Luzon, and New Guia had been renamed "Beiyang Island"
.
Beiyang Island is located in the northern part of Oceania, and its name is quite appropriate.
According to Beidu's plan, Baltic Island, Luzon, Beiyang Island and nearby islands will become the front line of Beidu's fight against aliens. The military also plans to drag aliens to these islands and not give them any protection.
Chances of aliens approaching our homeland.
To this end, in addition to the first batch of landing troops and the second batch of landing troops, another round of pre-war mobilization was carried out in China, and millions of officers and soldiers were mobilized in batches to go south. While thoroughly controlling the three islands, troops stationed on the islands were also needed.
The land is cultivated and self-sufficient.
Beidu also plans to recruit 80 to 1 million new soldiers in batches to fill the vacancies left by the transferred personnel and avoid a void in domestic strength.
By then, the total strength of the military will exceed six million!
And not only is the army the largest in size, but the quality of its soldiers, fighting will, combat equipment, training level and actual combat effectiveness are all top-notch. It is no exaggeration to say that this army will become the mainstay in the fight against aliens.
This is only the active force. If all the reserve forces are mobilized, tens of millions will not be able to stop them.
But that makes no sense at all, because the country simply does not have the strength to arm so many troops!
It’s not that the country has a weak foundation, or that the North has no determination, but that things are different now. In the past, mobilizing troops only required a military uniform, a rifle, and necessary supplies. The cost of raising a soldier was very low.
For example, in the 1970s, the total size of the People's Liberation Army reached a record high of 6.7 million. When the insect plague was at its worst, the total number of troops mobilized across the country was no less than 10 million.
But what about now? The entire army is equipped with more than 100,000 sets of power armor. Without a single piece of power armor, no matter how strong the combat effectiveness is, they are embarrassed to call themselves first-line troops. The equipment level of the second-line troops is beyond that of the elite troops before the disaster, even the most unpopular troops.
, at the very least, they must be equipped with enough large-caliber rifles.
This level of equipment is unprecedented, and the combat effectiveness of the troops is far greater than before, so simply expanding the number makes no sense.
And infantry is nothing. The real money-burning force is the space fleet. The cost of building a space battleship and arming several infantry divisions is not a problem.
