The sound of artillery stopped, but the sound of gunfire started.
The parallel machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns on the armored vehicles still had some bullets, and they were constantly spitting out the fire of death. The soldiers who did not need to control the machine guns picked up their respective weapons, stretched their upper bodies out of the vehicle, and opened fire at the menacing giant ants.
Ye Han pulled the trigger of his shotgun as quickly as possible. Every time he fired a shot, the flying steel darts could hit three to five giant ants, but the giant ants that were shot seemed not to feel any injuries on their bodies.
Despite the pain, he still kept rushing forward. Only the giant ant whose tentacles were broken stopped hesitantly.
Ye Han fired while shouting: "Veteran, hit the ant bridge, hit the ant bridge!"
The anti-aircraft machine gun in the hands of the veteran immediately extended its firing. The large-caliber 12.7 mm bullets could not hit the ant bridge dozens of meters away. Each bullet could open a meat hole as big as a plate in the giant ants building the bridge. Only a few bullets
, can cut off the ant bridge that the giant ants have worked so hard to build.
A dozen giant ants on the ant bridge immediately fell to the bottom of the bridge. The giant ants waiting to cross the bridge gathered at the other end of the gap, swinging their tentacles rapidly, as if looking for a broken ant bridge.
Although there are still several ant bridges across the gap, the speed of the giant ants passing through is still greatly affected.
The veteran immediately turned his gun and fired at several other ant bridges. He fired more than a dozen bullets, and each ant bridge took several bullets.
The ant bridges that were shot collapsed quickly. Only one ant bridge did not break after being shot.
Ye Han's pair of eyes with extraordinary vision could see clearly. The veteran fired three bullets at the ant bridge. In a hurry, only one bullet hit the ant bridge. The unlucky giant ant was shot in the head and was definitely dead.
.
But its companions in front of and behind it actually hugged the lifeless body tightly at the same time, saving the precarious ant bridge.
To be honest, Ye Han was shocked by the cooperative spirit displayed by the giant ants. However, from a human perspective, the unity of the giant ants was intolerable to him. Two shots were fired, and the dense steel darts immediately taught the giant ants what they meant.
Let go when it's time to let go. The last ant bridge leading to the top of the bridge breaks.
But there are still twenty or thirty giant ants on the bridge, and it's far from time to breathe a sigh of relief.
However, all the ant bridges were broken, and the giant ants that crawled through the gap had become rootsless trees and water. The veteran who took out his hand killed more than twenty of them with a random shot. The rest were either eliminated by Ye Han or
He was randomly shot to death by others.
The last giant ant was eliminated four meters in front of the vehicle by everyone, and it almost rushed behind the armored vehicle.
Ye Han quietly breathed a sigh of relief and saw the giant ants persisting in building the bridge again. He quickly ordered: "Soldier, when the ant bridge is almost completed, open fire and cut it off...how many bullets are left?"
The veteran replied without thinking: "Three bullet boxes plus this gun, more than 200 rounds."
"Where's the parallel machine gun?"
"At least more than a thousand rounds!"
"The parallel machine gun rushes forward, the anti-aircraft machine gun rushes behind, and the gaps on both sides are blinded!" Ye Han ordered loudly.
He was completely relieved now. More than 200 rounds of large-caliber bullets were enough to hold on for a while. If not, the parallel machine gun could hold on for a while. It shouldn't be a problem to hold on until reinforcements arrived.
After calming down, Ye Han felt a little embarrassed. If he had thought of the machine gun interception earlier, there would be no need to ask his grandfather to sue his grandmother and call for fire support twice in a row?
The veteran immediately raised the bracket of the anti-aircraft machine gun, twisted the muzzle and pointed it towards the rear of the car, and formed a pattern with the parallel machine gun, one behind the other, each facing the enemy. Two completely different types of gunfire came one after another, turning the ants in the front and rear directions.
The bridge was cut off again and again.
The caliber of the parallel machine gun is only 7.62 mm, which is much less powerful than the anti-aircraft machine gun. However, there are many bullets left in the parallel machine gun. In terms of quantity over quality, the cutting effect is also very good.
The giant ant didn't know what it meant to be discouraged and started over again and again, but Ye Han didn't feel any emotion because of the giant ant's perseverance.
Anyone who knows ants knows that these things have no brain at all, let alone thinking. Everything they do is based on instinct, and insisting on such good qualities has nothing to do with them.
A few minutes later, the helicopter finally flew over the broken bridge. Long Jianguo looked down and saw the armored vehicles blocking the front and rear. He couldn't help but became furious. He picked up the microphone and shouted: "Hey Ye Han, there's nothing you can do about it.
What kind of fire support do you want from me?"
Ye Han didn't accept this trick at all: "If the cannon didn't kill so many ants, I would have drowned the ants a long time ago!"
"Humph, where's the queen ant!" Long Jianguo had no time to argue with Ye Han, and it was more serious to hold the queen in his hands first.
The helicopter was flying from the direction of the front of the car, so it was understandable that he couldn't see the would-be queen ant hanging behind the butt of the car.
"It's behind the car." Ye Han looked back lazily and was delighted to see that the quasi-ant queen was still alive. "The medicine has already passed. Have you brought the anesthetic?"
"Bring it!" Long Jianguo replied, turning his head and making a landing gesture to the pilot.
The pilot looked at the broken bridge below and shook his head resolutely: "No, this bridge is too dangerous. The bridge deck may collapse if lowered!"
The helicopter relies entirely on airflow to hold up its heavy fuselage, and the wind pressure brought by the downdraft is also a big burden. The structure of the viaduct was severely damaged by the gunfire. Maybe the bridge will collapse before the landing gear touches the bridge deck.
It collapsed first.
Even if the bridge deck could withstand the wind pressure, the pilot would not dare to land.
Although he did not fly an armored vehicle, the aircraft belonged to the Army Aviation, and the pilot knew very well that the total combat weight of the armored vehicle was 21 tons.
A twenty-ton armored vehicle has been parked on the bridge, and a ten-ton large helicopter has been parked. The total weight exceeds thirty tons. The intact viaduct can bear a load of at least sixty or seventy tons. But the current section
The broken bridge has been blown to pieces. Who can guarantee that the bridge deck can still bear the weight of more than 30 tons?
Who can guarantee that whoever flies the plane down will never take the risk of crashing the plane and causing death?
Long Jianguo didn't understand airplanes at all, so he had to listen to the advice of professionals and immediately gave up the idea of landing: "Where's the winch? Lift the queen up first!"
"No problem!" The flight crew on board immediately began to arrange the cables, rotate the winch, and slowly lower the ant cage hanging under the belly of the aircraft to the bridge.
Ye Han and others scrambled to catch the ant cage, but they had trouble loading the prospective queen into the cage. He had to get into the carriage and pick up the microphone: "Brother Long, where is the anesthetic? You must anesthetize first and then load it."
Cage, also, I don’t have enough manpower here, so it’s difficult to install the cage!”
"Wait for me for a moment!" Long Jianguo made several gestures to the flight attendant. After the flight attendant nodded, he grabbed the cable and stepped out of the cabin, sliding along the cable to the ground.
After his feet landed on the ground, Long Jianguo ignored the politeness and took out a bottle of ethyl acetate and handed it to Ye Han.
