As the night grew darker, insects chirped in the forest, and countless small flying insects circled and danced in front of the lamp. They flew close to the lampshade unknowingly, and were driven away by the high temperature emitted by the lamp.
Some unlucky ones fell directly onto the lampshade and were roasted into dried insects in a short time.
Behind the high wall, Ye Han looked up at the sky. The dark sky was dotted with a few stars.
Today happened to be the beginning of the month, and the moon could not be seen the whole night. Ye Han knew that there was a space fleet above his head, but he still felt very uneasy in his heart.
I hope there won't be any trouble.
Ye Han was thinking about his own thoughts when he suddenly heard an abnormal rustling sound mixed with the chirping of insects in his ears. He couldn't help but look towards the high wall.
There was nothing unusual about the sentry on the wall. He was still holding his rifle and pacing back and forth unhurriedly. Every time he took a step, he would look towards the west side of the high wall.
Ye Han couldn't help but secretly wonder if he had heard something wrong, but the rustling sound was still echoing in his ears. According to time, the insect swarm was almost due to arrive.
Looking at the others, the soldiers were standing up one after another, looking at the high wall silently.
The sentry on the wall still found nothing unusual. Just as Ye Han was about to issue a warning, a sentry suddenly stopped and raised his rifle in his arms: "There's something going on!"
The shouts spread far in the silent night, drowning out all sounds.
The wall instantly boiled. The sentries and the awakened soldiers immediately woke up their resting companions. Everyone took their positions, guns loaded and knives unsheathed, grenades at hand, quietly waiting for the swarm of insects.
Although the people on the wall are not front-line troops, which combat unit in the country has not dealt with giant insects? Even if they have not faced such a large insect swarm, they still have some experience in dealing with insects.
The rustling sound became louder and louder, and the originally unresponsive radar slowly started to fluctuate. After a while, the screen was filled with fast-moving targets.
At the command of the on-site commander, the self-propelled mortars behind the high wall opened fire at the same time. In the continuous roar, thousands of artillery shells roared over the high wall and fell into the jungle on the west side of the high wall.
The jungle that was originally shrouded in darkness was instantly illuminated by fire, and countless explosions occurred one after another. The flying soil, blown plants and broken insects were mixed together, and the rising smoke went straight into the sky.
Although the artillery positions behind the wall were scattered, the artillery shells that could land were connected in a straight line, forming a barrage that cut off the insect swarm. After three consecutive rounds of shelling, the barrage began to extend westward, and the artillery used the most classic barrage tactic to advance slowly.
Deal with the surging swarms of insects.
The bugs dodged and ran under the gunfire, but not a single bug turned around and ran away. Their speed was astonishingly fast. Many bugs broke through the barrage and rushed towards the high wall with their long legs.
Four hundred meters!
"Fire!" the commander gave the order, and gunfire rang out loudly on the high wall, but the shooting frequency was not very high. Everyone fired when they aimed at the target.
The insect is three to four meters long, but only a little over one meter tall. The frontal area of the insect is only about half that of a human being.
Not everyone can hit a high-speed moving target 400 meters away. Shooting randomly will only waste bullets, so the soldiers are very cautious.
Ye Han couldn't help but nod when he saw this. Even though there was a second-line army on the wall, it was in very good fighting condition. If equipped with power armor, it might not be any worse than the first-line army.
If he read correctly, the reason why this unit is still in the second line has nothing to do with its combat effectiveness, but rather that it did not get a chance to prove itself - the People's Liberation Army only has first-class main forces that it has fought, and has never developed first-line troops!
Just take a look at the military's combat sequence and you will know. Which first-class main force has not made outstanding military achievements and left its name in military history?
Without a solid record, no matter how strong the combat effectiveness is, you can only stay on the second line. When will you show a record that convinces everyone, when will you be able to step into the ranks of the first-class main force.
I wonder if this blockade can lead to a first-class main force...
Thinking of this, Ye Han couldn't help but laugh, laughing at himself for thinking too much. Is it so easy to produce the first-class main force?
The insect swarm is said to be strong indeed, but in terms of real combat effectiveness, the insect swarm cannot be compared with the real enemy. This battle should be fought well. If there is a slight mistake, there will definitely be a lot of scolding.
Unless the insect swarm is replaced by insect people, there may be a glimmer of hope.
But that is absolutely impossible, because all the information Beidu has obtained, including the remote sensing results of its own satellites, all say that there are only insect swarms and no insect people in Asan.
The battle continued. Although the artillery fired continuously at all times, more and more giant insects broke through the barrage. The originally loose gunshots slowly became more compact. The moment the insect swarm rushed into 200 meters, several people on the wall were
Each firepower point fired at the same time, and the dense bullets were like a flaming whip, volleying towards the running insects, piercing them one by one, knocking them down, and smashing them to pieces.
Any insect that is pointed at by a machine gun will only die. Each firepower point suddenly becomes the most powerful support on the defense line.
With this intensity of firepower, let alone the insect swarms, even if the servant army comes, there is no way to break through the high wall. Unless the aliens personally take action, there is some hope!
No longer having to worry about the wall, Ye Han could safely and boldly figure out how to complete the orders from above.
Catching a lone giant insect alive is not a big deal. The problem is that the battle is so fierce that there is no way to ask the soldiers to hold back. There is no chance to capture the giant insect alive in front of the defense line... Well, maybe the giant insect has just been transported back here.
Some excited soldiers came over and rushed to kill the giant insect.
If you want to complete the mission, you can only leave the defense line and attack the lone insects.
Ye Han made up his mind and immediately said on the radio: "Attention all units, assist in defense as planned. Luo Qi, take your people and follow me!"
Several lamentations immediately came from the radio. Everyone knew that Ye Han was definitely going to cause trouble again, but in the current situation, everyone had to stay at their command positions. Even if they wanted to participate, there was no chance, that is, Luo Qi.
Only the captain of the guard had the opportunity to follow Ye Han everywhere.
Luo Qi immediately agreed: "Sir, how many people will you bring?"
"Bring them all, and bring more bullets." Ye Han said.
The actual establishment of the guard company should be a whole battalion, but the personnel to replenish the first division give priority to the grassroots. Until now, the guard battalion still remains at the establishment, and the actual number is less than one company.
But in terms of combat effectiveness, the guard company ranks second, and no one in the division dares to rank first.
Luo Qi immediately gathered his troops, and the soldiers were all eager to try, waiting for Ye Han to give the order.
The guard company was a veteran of the First Division. Ye Han didn't need to do any pre-war mobilization at all. With a wave of his hand, the troops immediately followed Ye Han. The whole company headed north along the high wall and left the fighting area in a short time.
