Many giant ants had their internal organs shattered by the explosion while they were still in the air. When they landed on the ground, they were not even missing a leg, but they were already dead.
The explosion not only destroyed the ant colony that besieged the viaduct, but also shook the fragile viaduct. The viaduct made of reinforced concrete was as fragile as paper under the fierce gunfire. However, after a few shells fell, both ends of the viaduct collapsed.
The nearest explosion points at both ends of the viaduct were only more than 100 meters away from the armored vehicle. The shock wave of the explosion was like a Category 12 typhoon impacting the vehicle body. The armored vehicle rose and fell like a boat struggling desperately between the peaks and valleys of the waves, shaking with strong tremors.
The bridge deck was shaking and shaking like a magnitude 12 earthquake.
Ye Han didn't know where the artillery position was, but he knew that the position was definitely not within the ant-occupied area! It was at least a straight line distance of more than thirty kilometers. When the artillery was ejected from the chamber, as long as it deflected a little, the shell would fall on the bridge. One shell
There is a possibility of the bridge deck collapsing.
Falling from a height of five to six meters will inevitably result in a car crash and death.
The bridge deck cannot stop artillery shells, and the same cannot be said for armored vehicles.
Even a main battle tank with an armor thickness of more than a thousand millimeters cannot withstand a direct hit from a large-caliber artillery shell. The armor thickness of an armored vehicle is only a dozen or twenty millimeters. This thickness is enough to block bullets. Compared with large-caliber artillery shells,
Under bombardment, it's no different than a piece of paper. Can it block the shells? Just go to sleep!
If the armored vehicle is hit by a deflected artillery shell, the few people in the vehicle may not even be able to recover the scum for DNA testing!
Ye Han's whole body shrank into a ball, his ears were filled with deafening explosions, and everything in front of him was trembling. The fear of death made him instinctively hold his head and scream in terror. The panic in his heart accumulated more and more, causing him to have a panic attack.
The urge to escape from an armored vehicle.
As if centuries had passed, the roaring explosions finally stopped. After a while, Ye Han realized that the bombardment had stopped. He raised his head in confusion and felt endless joy in his heart.
He screamed in the voice of a man who married his father to his mother: "Am I still alive? We are still alive!" Although he had walked on the edge of life and death several times, he had never been trembling under the cover of heavy artillery like he was today.
The soldiers suddenly woke up, and the veteran shouted loudly: "Alive, I'm still alive!" After shouting, he patted Huya's shoulder heavily, "We are still alive!"
Huya grinned when the veteran patted him, and nodded: "Alive, alive!"
Fu Xiaorui hugged his comrades excitedly, tears welling up in his eyes uncontrollably.
Only those who have experienced some things will know how terrifying they are. People who have never personally experienced the firepower of heavy artillery can never imagine the sense of crisis that exists in the midst of artillery fire.
What was it like for those who worked in the tunnels of Shangganling to live under the bombardment of heavy artillery every day?
Ye Han felt something in his heart and couldn't help but sigh secretly. After all, the soldiers were all children of eighteen or nineteen years old. Their peers were still enjoying pampering under the wings of their parents, but the soldiers had to pick up steel guns and go to the battlefield. In the battle between life and death,
Wandering and struggling.
In fact, he is not much older, but he has experienced a lot, and his mental age is much older than his physical age.
The soldiers gradually controlled their excitement, and several of them looked at each other, all feeling embarrassed for their gaffe just now.
Ye Han chuckled and lifted the top cover on his head.
A heavy smell of gunpowder smoke, mixed with the smell of burning and burning insects, filled the carriage, causing everyone to cover their mouths in a hurry and to put on gas masks.
Ye Han stood up and leaned his upper body out of the car. Everything he could see was a mess. The bridge was covered with the corpses of giant ants that had been blown up. The bridge was densely covered with debris. The bridge decks at both ends of the viaduct were broken, and the front of the armored vehicle was even broken.
In two places, only a 50-60 meter long section of the center of the bridge is left. The height difference between the two ends of the break and the ground is at least four meters; looking further away, there are large and small craters everywhere on the ground.
A large crater is deep enough to fit a van.
The length of the armored vehicle is eight meters, almost twice the height of the section, but it is absolutely wishful thinking to drive the armored vehicle down from the section.
At this time, the veteran also got out of the car, glanced around and asked worriedly: "Ye Pai, after so many rounds, the shrapnel won't kill that ant, right?"
Ye Han's heart skipped a beat and he quickly turned to look at the back of the car, just in time to see the quasi-ant queen slowly stretching her long legs covered with bristles.
"It should be fine." Although Ye Han said this, he felt uneasy in his heart. He jumped on the roof of the car and carefully approached the rear of the car to get a clear look.
The quasi-queen seems to have woken up, and her huge ant head is twisting around, as if she wants to bite off the traction rope with her giant jaws.
Ye Han frowned: "The anesthetic is almost over."
"What?" The veteran looked surprised, "What can we do?"
Ye Han jumped into the armored vehicle without saying a word, picked up the radio microphone and shouted: "Brother Long!"
"Received, please speak!"
"The bridge is destroyed. We are now trapped on the bridge, and the ant poison is almost over. Please request helicopter support!"
"The helicopter has already departed, hold on a little longer!"
The soldiers clenched their fists with excitement, encouragement silently conveyed in their eyes.
"Great!" Ye Han let out a long breath, "This cannon hit me so hard that my heart was pounding. Brother Long, tell me where the cannon was fired?"
"Where else could it be? The artillery of our Northern Military Region!"
"The reaction speed is very fast!" Ye Han praised, "Large-caliber self-propelled artillery?"
"There are also rocket launchers. They were originally prepared to deal with giant locusts, but I didn't expect to use them on you first..." The actual situation was far from as easy as Long Jianguo said.
After all, a cannon is not a missile, and its accuracy is limited. Normally, it must be tested first, and after adjusting the point of impact to fire various elements, it can then carry out intensive bombardment.
However, the situation just now was too urgent. If the test fire was carried out first and then concentrated fire, the giant ants might have already buried the armored vehicle.
In desperation, Long Jianguo applied to his superiors to fire without test firing.
Although digitization has long been achieved, artillery can be aimed directly using coordinate data under the guidance of satellites, but direct firing is still very risky. In order to ensure the safety of Ye Han and others, the artillery did not aim at both sides of the viaduct, but instead aimed at the target.
The coordinates are placed one hundred meters away to avoid accidentally hitting the armored vehicle.
Long Jianguo knew the inside story, but he had no intention of letting Ye Han know.
"Ye Pai!" Fu Xiaorui suddenly poked Ye Han's waist, pointed at the screen and swallowed, "Look!"
Ye Han's eyes fell on the screen, and he saw a group of giant ants gathering under the bridge again. They were climbing up and down the broken part of the viaduct, and they didn't know what they were busy with.
Ye Han sighed helplessly: "Brother Long, the ants have come out again, please ask for artillery fire coverage... The medium-caliber ones will do, the large-caliber ones are too scary."
