It's Long Jianguo's business to promote or not. Ye Han doesn't care at all. What he cares about is how to kill all the giant ants.
From the first time he came into contact with giant ants to now, Ye Han has been dealing with giant ants for more than a month. When it comes to the habits of giant ants, he understands them better than many biological experts. After thinking about it, he already has a new idea.
plan of.
His plan is very simple. Giant ants work when the sun rises and rest when the sun sets. Since burning the ant nest during the day will allow some fish to slip through the net, wouldn't it be possible to burn the ant nest at night?
Ye Han went to Long Jianguo to report the new plan. Long Jianguo immediately expressed his full support and delegated power to Ye Han to take full responsibility.
Now that Long Jianguo has become the boss, Ye Han unceremoniously takes over the command and orders all the soldiers monitoring the giant ants to withdraw from the train, and everyone immediately returns to the dormitory to rest.
The soldiers didn't know what kind of medicine Ye Han sold in the gourd, but for two consecutive days, the soldiers were already exhausted and took this opportunity to take a good rest.
After dinner, the team set out again. With the help of night vision equipment, they found an ant nest. They first destroyed the surrounding ant hills one by one, leaving only a dozen ant hills near the core area, and then poured the ant nest into the ant hill according to the procedure.
diesel fuel.
Soon after, artillery fire roared, and the hole filled with diesel fuel spewed out flames several meters high like a burning oil well. The firelight dispersed the darkness of dozens of meters in radius, and then the flames gradually shrank into the hole, leaving only billowing thick smoke slowly rising.
.
The burning anthills showed a conspicuous bright green on the night vision screen, and the rising smoke was even greener and whiter.
Ye Han's brows relaxed and he said with satisfaction: "Okay, next one!"
The convoy immediately packed up its ranks and headed for the next ant nest.
Overnight, Ye Han and his ant exterminator team advanced more than 20 kilometers and burned five ant nests in a row. Countless giant ants were burned to death and took a bite out of the ant-occupied area.
If the fuel he carried had not been exhausted, I am afraid that Ye Han still would not give the order to return.
The next day, Ye Han continued to lead his troops to attack, destroying nine ant nests and pushing the front line more than 30 kilometers deeper into the ant-occupied area, forming a protrusion more than 30 kilometers wide and 40 kilometers deep!
The shape of the ant-occupied area is very irregular, but it is roughly an oval shape with a width of more than 100 kilometers from east to west and a length of nearly 300 kilometers from north to south. This protruding part is exactly at the waist of the western side of the ant-occupied area!
The significance of this protrusion is not to recover much land, but to rescue the fallen Jingjiang River in one fell swoop!
At the same time, friendly forces on other fronts were progressing smoothly. Although they did not advance as violently as Ye Han, they also achieved considerable results.
In the entire ant-occupied area, except for the northern front, which still adopted suppressive tactics and failed to achieve any results, all other directions were victorious.
The news of the victory was like an earthquake with a magnitude of 18, spreading rapidly across the country. Wherever the radio waves went, the people were excited. People took to the streets and celebrated the hard-won victory in various ways. The excited people broke through the ban.
The ban on setting off fireworks and firecrackers has sold out the backlog of firecrackers, and the deafening sound of firecrackers has been completely non-stop. Even the economic index, which was once stagnant, is showing signs of recovery.
The news was reported to the northern capital, which immediately rewarded the officers and soldiers who participated in the battle, and at the same time issued the highest instructions: No matter the cost, regardless of gains and losses, resolutely eliminate the ant colony!
However, Ye Han and his comrades encountered trouble at this time, and the momentum of their great progress came to an abrupt end.
It wasn't that Ye Han didn't want to expand his victory, but that the environment didn't allow him to continue taking action.
Jingjiang City borders the Heishan Mountains to the south, the Xianghai Wetland to the north, and the Jingshui Lake area to the east. They are all places with lush vegetation and excellent natural environment. However, the west side is dominated by sandy and gravel land with sparse vegetation. Most of the land
Only some low-growing plants with strong vitality grow. Although there are some fields, there are almost no large areas of fertile land.
When it comes to causing trouble for giant ants in this barren land, Ye Han can burn it without any scruples. No matter how severe the burning is, there will be no collateral damage. At most, it will kill a few shrubs that cannot even be named.
It's different when you arrive around Jingjiang City, where there are green trees and continuous fertile fields.
First of all, Ye Han and his comrades had never gone deep into this area. They lacked understanding of the ant colonies in this area and could not find the exact location of the ant nest, so they could not continue to use the one-arrow-through-the-heart decapitation tactic;
Secondly, the anthills are hidden under the lush vegetation and are not as clear as before. It takes a certain amount of time to identify the anthills;
The third and most important point is that continuous high temperature will burn out the organic matter in the soil, and no grass will grow on the burned ground! The ant nests go deep into the ground, and the oil filling method is simple and crude. In addition to the ant nests, the vicinity of the ant hills will also be affected to a certain extent.
The spread, burning above and below ground at the same time, will completely destroy the land near the ant nest, and it will take at least several years to recover.
Ordinary surface fires cannot be compared with diesel in terms of duration and combustion temperature; artillery shells, bombs and even thermobaric bombs are powerful, but their duration is short. Unlike the oil filling method, which burns for several hours, it has no impact on the soil.
The damage is naturally much less.
Jingjiang is one of the most important grain-producing areas in Linzhou Province. People can leave Jingjiang, but they cannot move away the grown grain. There are currently unknown acres of good-growing fields waiting to mature.
After finally wresting the territory from the giant ants, we can't burn it into a barren land just for convenience, right?
Ye Han suddenly understood why Long Jianguo relinquished his power. He had dug a hole for him to jump into, but he still jumped so resolutely and proactively!
Time entered the third day of the counterattack. Friendly forces in other directions were still advancing leisurely. Only Ye Han had to temporarily stop his actions. Just in time for the cold front to pass through, the weather suddenly became gloomy and cold, so everyone
Staying in the train and getting moldy.
Ye Han lay on his back on the bed, looking through the dark glass window at the gray clouds outside the window in a daze.
The knock on the door brought back Ye Han's scattered thoughts. He sat up and said, "Please come in!"
The veteran opened the door and walked into the box with a smile: "Ye Pai, what are you thinking about?"
Although Ye Han was promoted to lieutenant, his position was still that of platoon leader, so the soldiers were still called Ye Platoon.
"It's nothing. Night owls come into the house for whatever they want. Tell me, what do you want from me?" Ye Han pointed to the bed opposite and asked the veteran to sit down.
"I'm fine. A car is coming from the city. Long Ying said it was yours and asked you to take it."
Ye Han was stunned for a few seconds before suddenly coming back to his senses and jumping up: "Great, let's go!"
This time it was the veteran's turn to be stunned. He looked at Ye Han's leaving figure and touched his head, wondering to himself: "What are you so anxious about? Could it be a car full of girls?"
Fortunately, Ye Han didn't hear these words, otherwise he would be so angry that he would burst into tears and never wake up.
