Long Jianguo on the plane looked at the radio and was stunned: "Without fire support, you must hold on until the plane arrives!"
"What, isn't there a cannon group?" Ye Han was shocked.
"The fire coverage just now has used up all the artillery shells. The artillery group is replenishing ammunition and cannot support it in a short time..."
"Are there no other artillery groups?"
"There is only one artillery group that can hit you with artillery shells without deviating from the target. The other artillery groups are too far away. The range is sufficient but the accuracy cannot be guaranteed. Do you think it is useful?"
Ye Han immediately became anxious: "How long will it take for the plane to arrive?"
"Six to seven minutes!" Long Jianguo said with unusual certainty.
Ye Han stared at the ants building a bridge on the screen, gritted his teeth and said: "I can't wait that long, Brother Long, let the artillery fire another round, just a few cannonballs, just a few cannonballs!"
"I'll give it a try!" Long Jianguo agreed. Ye Han let out a breath and waited restlessly.
Tens of seconds later, Long Jianguo's voice came from the radio: "It's done, but each cannon only has four shells... You have to be mentally prepared!"
"Mental preparation?" Ye Han's heart suddenly became anxious, "What kind of psychological preparation?"
He didn't hear Long Jianguo's answer, but instead heard the whistling of artillery shells.
Ye Han couldn't care less about asking anymore and shouted loudly: "Shell bombardment——"
Several soldiers immediately grasped the opportunity and huddled together, holding their heads, waiting for the impact of the explosion.
Long Jianguo's words made Ye Han very worried. He always felt that something was wrong. He subconsciously stared at the screen, wanting to watch the shell explode with his own eyes.
A huge flame suddenly exploded under the bridge, with a loud bang and giant ants flying near the explosion point.
However, the impact point of this shot was a little far away from the bridge, and it had no impact on the busy ant colonies on the left and right sides of the broken bridge.
how so?
A ridiculous feeling came to Ye Han's mind.
Then a few more shells fell sporadically, the total number was only about ten, and the straight-line distance to the explosion point closest to the fracture was just over forty meters!
Through the effect of the explosion, Ye Han judged that the caliber of the shell was probably 155 mm. The radius of damage of shrapnel from a shell of this caliber was about fifty meters. In other words, any human body area within a radius of fifty meters would be divided into
At least one shrapnel.
However, the shrapnel is lethal to the human body, and if it collapses on the giant ants covered with carapace, the effect will not be very good. At least Ye Han did not see any obvious casualties in the ant colony!
The only good news is that the second ant bridge was collapsed by the explosion. If the ant colony wants to pass through the sections at both ends of the bridge, it will take a while to build the ant bridge again.
Hmm... a few cannon fires after a while may be able to prevent the giant ants from climbing to the top of the bridge!
This discovery really made Ye Han breathe a sigh of relief. He picked up the microphone and said, "The effect is good. I'll give it a few more shots later!"
"Come on, do you think you are a cabbage!" Long Jianguo gritted his teeth, "I told you, the artillery group is replenishing ammunition!"
"Then one shot counts. If it doesn't work, call for air support. If it's too late, I won't be able to save that big ant!" Ye Han threatened frankly.
This sentence is like a heartfelt kick to Long Jianguo's vitals: "You are cruel!"
"It's not that I'm cruel, I really can't hold on!" Ye Han stared at the ant colony on the screen with lingering fear, and suddenly remembered something, "Old Long, the research institute only needs ant queens, right?"
"Yes, didn't you already know that?"
"It's okay, I just want to make sure!" Ye Han responded casually, opened the roof and jumped out of the car, grabbed the back of the car in a few steps, and looked down at the prospective ant queen with a cold light in his eyes.
Several sneaky heads appeared behind Ye Han. Fu Xiaorui leaned into the veteran's ear and whispered softly: "Veteran, this style of painting is wrong. What is going on with Ye Pai? Why does it look like he has been possessed by an evil spirit?"
"You are the one who has been possessed by evil spirits. Your whole family has been possessed by evil spirits. Why do you still believe in these feudal superstitions? You are still a soldier!" The old soldier glared righteously.
Fu Xiaorui felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he cried with aggrieved face: "I just said it casually..."
"It's impossible!" The veteran refused to give up. Suddenly he saw Ye Han taking out a pistol. He couldn't say any more and shouted quickly, "Ye Pai, you can't kill it!"
"When did I say I was going to kill it?" Ye Han turned around in surprise.
The veteran was suddenly speechless and scratched the back of his head: "Then what are you doing with your gun?"
Ye Han pursed her lips: "The anesthetic is about to wear off. I want to remove all the ant's legs to avoid having to break free from the rope."
The old soldier and Fu Xiaorui looked at each other, this method is simply amazing!
The veteran said hesitantly: "Can't a pistol work?"
Ye Han hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Bring me my spray gun!"
Fu Xiaorui quickly took out the shotgun from the car. Ye Han took it into his hand, checked the bullets in the gun, put the muzzle of the gun directly against the root of the ant's leg and pulled the trigger.
"Boom--" With a muffled sound, half of the ant's thick-wristed leg suddenly broke off, and an unknown brown liquid seeped out from the broken leg. The five remaining legs of the would-be queen began to move slowly, as if to protest Ye Han.
Inhumane abuse.
Unfortunately, Ye Han didn't think ants needed human rights at all. He acted decisively and added bullets to the gun four times before breaking all six legs.
The veteran asked worriedly: "It won't bleed to death, will it?"
"Probably not." Ye Han replied with a bit of anxiety, "Insects have a hard life."
This injury was nothing to the worker ants, but the queen seemed to be much more delicate than the worker ants. He suddenly regretted it and began to wonder if he was too impulsive in doing so.
But it was too late now to regret it.
Seeing that the ant bridges at both ends of the bridge were almost completed, Ye Han called for fire support again. This time there were only ten shells in total, only five on each side.
A shell hit the section toward the rear of the car, killing and injuring most of the hundreds of giant ants building the bridge. The aftermath of the explosion almost collapsed the remaining bridge deck.
The front direction of the car was not so lucky. All five shells landed far away from the section. The giant ants building the bridge were not affected at all. When the shells exploded, dozens of giant ants continuously crossed the two sections and crossed the ground.
The corpse of the giant ant rushed towards the armored vehicle in a menacing manner.
Ye Han was shocked: "Veteran, fire!"
The dull sound of machine guns exploded in succession, and the parallel machine guns and vehicle-mounted machine guns also opened fire. The giant ants that rushed towards the armored vehicle were torn apart by the shells one by one, but the other giant ants showed no fear and continued to rush forward one after another.
The firepower of the armored vehicle is powerful enough for the enemy, but it is too weak for the giant ants.
Ye Han missed the tear gas and anesthetic bottles so much that her intestines turned green with regret. Why did she use up all the anesthetic bottles and tear gas?
The dull sound of artillery suddenly stopped, and the veteran turned around anxiously and shouted: "Ye Platoon, all the shells have been fired!"
Give it a try!
Ye Han told himself this in his heart and roared resolutely: "Shoot, shoot everyone!"
