1193 Tasks that can only be handed over to the elite
Ye Yang was not exaggerating at all. After a few hours, all the open spaces were connected, and a thick concrete wall divided the open space on the west side of the highway into two.
Not only that, the engineers also installed various defense facilities on the wall. There is a firepower point every twenty meters. Each firepower point has a multi-barreled machine gun. Below the firepower point is ammunition transportation equipment. Ammunition trucks can be driven directly below the firepower point.
, feeding the machine gun on the wall.
This is the ammunition supply method used on warships. As long as the ammunition cart is empty, the machine gun can be continuously fed with ammunition. Ordinary machine guns cannot withstand the high-intensity shooting of this ammunition supply method. Only multi-barreled machine guns can.
In addition to the firepower points, there are a large number of shooting positions on the wall. A large amount of ammunition is prepared at each shooting position. All bullets are pressed into the magazine drum and can be loaded onto the gun and fired.
The distance between the firepower points is not chosen randomly. Twenty meters is just enough for one squad!
Not only are various firearms prepared on the wall, each section of the wall is also equipped with a set of flamethrowers. A single shot can find a huge fan with a radius of tens of meters, turning all bugs within the spray range into burning
Candle ends.
Not only are there various arrangements on the wall, there are also various means under the wall. There are an average of 2.4 mortars behind each section of wall. If the time was not too short, this number could be increased by at least three times!
Such a wall cannot be said to be impregnable, but it is enough for insects to take a good drink.
Facing such a wall, Ye Han couldn't explain how she felt in her heart.
With it standing in the way, not to mention the elite airborne division, it is not a problem to pull up the recruits who have just finished their training and block the swarm of insects.
But Ye Han is very doubtful about the function of this wall. Don't the insects know how to go south, bypass the high wall defense line, and then go north?
Also, even if the bug doesn't want to go south, wouldn't it be okay to go directly north?
To be honest, Ye Han really didn't know why his superiors were so confident. Could it be that they had mastered the insect swarm's pheromones?
With all the questions in his head unanswered, Ye Han had no intention of getting to the bottom of it. In short, he just followed the orders from above and guarded this wall.
However, new questions emerged. Even if it is to deal with the insect swarm, there is no need to waste manpower and material resources to build such a wall, right?
He couldn't figure out the reason, but not long after, he got the answer from Ye Yang.
The situation is actually very simple. After the insect swarm leaves the Asan territory, it goes almost straight eastward. If not stopped, the insect swarm will cross the border and enter Dianzhou after passing through northern Myanmar. Then it will use Dianzhou as a springboard to invade Shu by heading north.
Qianzhou, Guizhou, and threatening Guizhou and Guangdong to the east. By that time, the entire southwest will be turned into a mess by the insect swarm.
Of course, it is impossible for the military to turn a blind eye when the insect swarm enters the country, but the pursuit and interception by the military requires time and investment in manpower and material resources. It is difficult to say when the insect swarm will be eradicated.
On the contrary, it would be different if the insect swarms were kept outside the national border. The north side of the high wall defense line extended all the way to the west of Dianzhou. There were mountains with an altitude of about three thousand meters everywhere, which was the terrain that insects disliked the most.
The probability of the swarm crossing the border from there is very low.
But it's different behind the high-defense wall. The altitude there is mostly below a thousand meters, and insects can cross the border without much effort.
The high wall defense line just blocks this section of the border. If the insect swarm goes south, after bypassing the southern end of the high wall defense line, it will continue eastward to the seaside, which is the territory of other countries.
As for whether the insect swarm would go north after bypassing the high defense line, it was beyond Ye Yang's control. Ye Han extremely doubted whether Beidu had arranged some back-up plan.
However, Ye Yang knew that all the rivers near southern Xinjiang were under the control of the military, and strategic nodes such as bridges and dams were key areas for defense. There must be some way to prevent the insect swarms from entering.
It was getting dark, and the engineers rushed to install a batch of special lamps on the wall before it got dark. By the time it got dark, the lights had illuminated the west side of the high wall defense line as bright as day.
According to Beidu's instructions, the insect swarm would arrive at the high wall defense line within two hours. After receiving the notification, Ye Han wanted to arrange for his troops to go up the wall in advance, but as soon as the soldiers took action, they were stopped by Ye Yang who hurried over.
According to Ye Yang, the military has deployed a large number of troops on the high wall defense line, and even the engineering troops under his command will be on the wall for defense after the insect swarm arrives.
Hearing what he said, Ye Han felt strange. Since there was a high wall and troops were arranged, why did he bring the airborne division over?
Ye Yang continued and Ye Han understood.
The reason why the airborne division was sent here is because all the troops on the high-wall defense line are second- and third-line troops. Even if a batch of weapons and equipment are urgently replenished, the military will inevitably have various worries.
The purpose of calling the airborne division over is to, firstly, be able to go up and suppress the insect swarms at critical moments, and secondly, to boost the morale of the troops on the defense line. The last and most important point is to have the airborne division stand in the area with the most insects and act as the mainstay.
Therefore, the airborne division does not need to go up the wall for the time being, and must wait until the main attack direction of the insect swarm is determined above.
It's right to think about it. The length of the high wall defense line is at least dozens of kilometers. However, the under-manned 1st and 4th divisions can only occupy five kilometers of the wall. Even if the personnel are diluted and one squad guards two sections of the wall, it will still be enough.
It's only ten kilometers.
The Airborne Division is indeed an elite force, but no matter how elite the force is, it will not play much role in a battle of this scale. The real main force must be a large number of ordinary troops.
Seeing Ye Yang leading the troops busy, Ye Han had a very strange feeling.
He has always led troops who charge forward, but this is the first time he has stayed behind and idle.
More than an hour later, Beidu finally determined the main attack direction of the insect swarm. While ordering the high-wall defense line to be on alert, it also ordered the airborne division to move twelve kilometers north.
Ye Han didn't even have time to say goodbye to Ye Yang before he led his troops into the truck heading north.
When the convoy was about to arrive at its destination, Ye Han received a new order, requiring Ye Han to lead the troops to capture several giant insects alive. To be more detailed, there was at least one giant insect of each type. It could be missing arms or legs, but the body could not be.
incomplete.
And one is the minimum limit, it is best to catch more, eight out of ten are not too many.
Seeing this, Ye Han probably understood that Beidu probably didn't know the situation of these giant insects and planned to catch some giant insects for study.
This task is really not suitable for ordinary troops. Only troops like the Airborne Division that often perform special tasks can have the ability to attack the insect swarms head-on and then capture a few of them back.
My brain is a little cramped... I'll write this paragraph as soon as possible, and then return to space... Sigh, I don't want to write about the ground anymore.
