Not only were the giant bugs and insect-men close to the explosion point suffered, but the giant bugs further away were not much better. After many giant bugs were blown to the ground, there were no scratches on their bodies, but the internal organs in their stomachs had been exploded.
After being damaged by the shock, no matter how strong the vitality of the giant insect is, it will not be able to continue to be alive and kicking in this situation - the cannon at the rear is what the soldiers rely on not to fire!
In the past, the shells from the rear could kill more than half of the giant insects like me and myself, but today is different from the past. The scale of the insect swarm is far greater than before. After a round of artillery fire has covered it, the impact point of the shells extends to the beach, and will land on the beach.
The insect swarm is completely covered.
The artillery did not stop firing until the shells hit the sea, but their mission was not over yet. The soldiers immediately adjusted their direction to provide fire support for the defenders in other directions.
The bombardment lasted only a short time, but the effect was very gratifying. From the 200 meters in front of the position to the beach, there were corpses of giant insects everywhere. Many giant insects were not completely dead and were kicking on their legs trying to get up.
But the explosion has destroyed their vitality. Death is only a matter of time, and it is impossible to get back up again.
Not only were the beaches covered with insect corpses, there were also many insect corpses floating on the sea.
Before the soldiers could breathe a sigh of relief, another group of giant insects climbed onto the beach and rushed towards the defenders' position on the insect corpses all over the ground.
The defender's company commander gasped.
There were swarms of insects landing in all directions on the island, and the artillery could not be counted on for a while, so he could only rely on himself.
So the mortars and rocket launchers equipped by the company came in handy, and the insect swarm that had just landed was immediately attacked head-on by the defenders.
Although the military has strengthened the firepower of the troops defending the island, this firepower is really nothing to the landing insect swarm. The insect swarm still charges against the human artillery fire, even if all the companions around it are dead, there is no critical point.
Hesitant and hesitant.
Even though they were used to seeing similar scenes, the soldiers still had toothaches from time to time. The insect swarm was really too difficult to deal with.
But even if you are tough, you have to fight. When the company commander gave the order, the soldiers immediately took action. Anyone with a grenade launcher on their gun loaded the grenade and fired a volley at the insect swarm.
The grenade was small in size but very powerful. After hitting the insect swarm, it caused a series of explosions. The flying steel balls immediately penetrated the nearby giant insects. Although the lethality was far less than that of real artillery shells, as long as the giant insects exploded with power
Within the range, there will definitely be neither death nor injury.
The defenders' interception was effective, but the insect swarm still approached the defense line step by step. When they rushed to a position only three hundred meters away from the defense line, the company commander shouted an order to open fire.
The rifles and machine guns in the hands of the soldiers roared at the same time, and the flying bullets immediately knocked down the giant insect rushing at the front.
The rifle fires slowly, so most of the soldiers aim and shoot. Even if they can't shoot accurately, they still have to roughly aim at the giant insect's head and fire.
The power of bullets is limited, and it must hit the vital point to kill the giant insect. Every soldier understands this. No one shoots casually, but only after looking at the target.
The same goes for machine guns, but machine guns have more bullets and shoot faster. The aim is much rougher than that of rifles, but machine guns have more bullets. As long as the muzzle of the gun is roughly pointed at the giant insect's head, you can shoot. The dense bullets will teach the giant insect what to do in minutes.
Bugs - only dead giant bugs are good bugs!
The soldiers all thought that today's attack by the insect swarm was the same as before and would end soon. However, the situation was beyond everyone's expectations. The insect swarm persisted from dusk until the sky was getting dark.
Corpses piled up like mountains, but the insects still refused to give up.
The garrison headquarters clearly realized that the aliens were determined to seize Buha Island this time. This was a new situation that had never occurred before.
The troops defending the island are mainly infantry, with artillery as an auxiliary. Although they have a lot of artillery shells in reserve, they did not expect the situation today. After more than an hour of continuous shelling, there were not many artillery shells left. The artillery had to reduce the firing frequency, just for the last time.
Provide fire support in critical directions.
However, the top commander of the garrison has sent out a rescue signal, and the navy has responded positively and has sent two nearby warships.
There are so many weapons on the battleship that it's hard to pick just two weapons to deal with the insect swarms.
Until this time, the defenders, from commanders to ordinary soldiers, were still thinking about how to defend Buha Island, and no one thought about giving up.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and soon it was completely dark.
Not only did the insect swarm not give up, but they intensified their attack, sending batch after batch of giant insects to the coast and under the eyes of the defenders.
In the history of Buha Island, there has never been an attack of similar scale. The defenders originally thought that today's situation was unusual, and this was confirmed now. The headquarters became more and more cautious, and every order issued was carefully
, would rather reduce the results of the battle, but also give priority to ensuring the safety of the defense line.
But is the line of defense really solid?
When the enemy attacked, and in the early stages of the attack, the defenders' defense line was indeed impregnable, but after several hours of fighting, the situation changed fundamentally.
It wasn't that the defenders' will was weak, but that the ammunition was severely consumed in these few hours. The soldiers, who were accustomed to being extravagant, actually received orders to save bullets.
The soldiers couldn't believe their ears, but orders were orders, no matter how unreasonable they were, they had to be implemented first.
But how can bullets be saved so easily? In the past, we had to go all out to barely block the swarm of insects. Now, although we have received orders from above, the soldiers are still fighting as they should, with no intention of saving at all.
Just kidding, as soon as the shooting speed here drops, the insect swarm over there will immediately advance a lot, and the soldiers can only increase the shooting speed again.
In this way, from dusk to midnight, fighting never stopped in all directions across the island. Two positions were even breached by the swarm. If the artillery had not intervened in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.
But the artillery also beat up the remaining shells. The remaining shells were very few and could only be used at the most critical moment.
The situation became increasingly severe. The top commander of the island-defending troops wavered between continuing to hold on and shrinking his troops. Only in the end did he grit his teeth and order the contraction of troops, and all the island-defending troops were concentrated in the laboratory.
The poor commander didn't dare to hope for anything. He only hoped that the navy's warships would arrive before the enemy invaded the laboratory.
After receiving the order, the defenders from all directions immediately evacuated and retreated to the laboratory as quickly as possible. As soon as they entered the position and prepared for battle, the following insect swarms also arrived near the laboratory.
The two sides are at war with each other, and it only takes one charge to ignite the fuse of the battle.
The commander rushed into the laboratory anxiously, hoping that the bug-men inside could hide temporarily, but he did not expect that no one could be found in the laboratory at all!
