Modern warfare relies heavily on logistical supplies, and the war against giant ants is no exception.
The military mobilized a large number of engineers to advance the supply line and reinforce dangerous areas as quickly as possible. However, backfilling ant holes is not as simple as repairing railroad tracks. Although engineers started construction day and night, the progress of the project still lagged far behind the advancing speed of the troops.
The military's decision-makers are not rigid. In order to deliver supplies to the front line as quickly as possible, they have taken a series of temporary measures. For example, instead of filling the carriages, they only fill half or even one-third of them. For example, they directly use flatbed trains to stack supplies.
Another example is to directly drive ground piles in dangerous areas to support the roadbed.
In addition to railways, road transportation is also an important means of transporting supplies, and giant ants are basically not interested in asphalt roads. Even if the roads are dug up, repairing them is much easier than railways. Even viaducts that were blown into pieces when capturing the queen ants are still intact.
It didn't matter, a few bridge erecting trucks drove up, and within a few hours, several steel bridges were erected across the gap on the broken bridge. The delay was less than an hour even if it was full. It would be better to backfill the craters on both sides of the viaduct.
For a long time.
Various means were used, and supplies were finally delivered to the participating troops in time.
A few days later, an armored train slowly drove to the edge of the Montenegro Mountains and stopped in front of the platform of an unknown station.
This is the end of the plain and the edge of the mountains. Behind the train is the endless plain. A few kilometers along the railway, you will officially enter the Black Mountain Mountains, with layers of vast mountains rising from the ground.
Ye Han climbed up to the roof of the car and looked far into the distance. He clearly saw that the railway in front entered the mountainous area and directly connected to the valley between the two mountains. The valleys were lush on the left and right sides and covered with various trees and shrubs. It was as far as the eye could see.
Green. At the bottom of the valley between the two mountains, a clear river flows quietly.
The railway track is laid on the mountainside on one side of the valley. On the right side of the roadbed is a towering mountain; on the other side is a very steep slope that plunges straight into the valley.
Huya's voice suddenly came from under the car: "Ye Pai, Longying is looking for you!"
"I know, I'll be here soon!" Ye Han responded, climbing up the iron ladder and leaving the roof of the car.
Hu Ya on the platform asked curiously: "Ye Pai, what are you looking at?"
Ye Han smiled: "Nothing, look at the mountains in front."
"Ye Pai has never seen so many trees, right?" Hu Ya immediately showed excitement. "Ye Pai, when are we leaving? Can I go out and take a look?"
Although it has not yet entered the mountainous area, the vegetation in the wild is very good, and there is a large forest outside the station.
"What are you looking at!" the veteran yelled angrily, "This damn place has high mountains and dense forests, and is an ant nest. There may be a few ants hiding on the side of the road. It's easy for you kid to go out, but it's not sure whether you will come back alive."
The ground inside the station is all concrete. No matter how exaggerated the giant ants are, they can't dig through the reinforced concrete. But it's different outside the station. There are dirt walls everywhere. It's not surprising at all to hide a few giant ants.
Huya sneered: "Veteran, it's not that exaggerated!"
The veteran snorted coldly: "Your life is your own. If you don't believe it, just try it."
Huya pursed his lips in disappointment: "Let's forget it. I haven't married yet, so I can't die young."
Ye Han chuckled and comforted: "When the ants are eliminated, you can play as long as you like and sleep in the forest."
"That's a good feeling!" Huya was happy again.
"I'm not afraid of mosquitoes biting you to death!" The veteran glared angrily.
Hu Ya hurriedly avoided it, muttering secretly in his heart, why did the veteran seem to be on gunpowder today, and every word he spoke was more irritable than before?
Seeing Hu Ya running away, the veteran said helplessly: "Ye Pai, this kid is too naughty. If you don't care about him any more, you will have to go to heaven."
"It's a very special task, very thoughtful, there's nothing wrong with it." Ye Han seemed to have some instructions, waving his hand and boarding the train.
The veteran couldn't help but be startled, as if he had heard this sentence somewhere before!
Ye Han rushed outside Long Jianguo's dormitory, but did not find Long Jianguo. After asking the soldiers on guard, he found out that Long Jianguo had gone to the headquarters.
The headquarters was located at the front of a passenger carriage. When Ye Han arrived, several other officers in the battalion had already arrived. After the ant-suppression mission was on track, Long Jianguo complained to his superiors every now and then, and finally borrowed the equipment from his brother's troops.
The officer wants to return part of it.
Just as Ye Han was about to call for a report, Long Jianguo had already waved his hand to him: "Come here, let's have a meeting."
Ye Han agreed and sat down next to Long Jianguo.
Long Jianguo spread out the map on the table, frowned into a big knot, pointed at the logo on the map and said: "You see, the participating troops have now advanced to the edge of the Black Mountain Mountains and are about to enter the mountainous area to carry out a clearing mission. Here is
As the last stop before entering the mountain, I plan to set up the battalion headquarters here. After the mission has made certain progress, the battalion headquarters will be moved forward. What do you think?" After saying this, he glanced at everyone's faces.
"No objection." Lu Qingzhi was the first to express his opinion, "The situation in the mountains is too complicated. It is better for the battalion headquarters to be outside the mountains."
Others also expressed their agreement, even Ye Han agreed a few words.
Long Jianguo nodded with satisfaction: "Well, the position of the battalion headquarters has been decided. Let's discuss the next battle plan!"
As soon as this was said, everyone fell silent in tacit agreement.
"Why aren't you talking?" Long Jianguo asked, "Well, if you don't talk, I'll do it!"
Long Jianguo pointed his finger at the edge of the mountain range on the map: "Our current position is here. A few kilometers further ahead we will officially enter the Black Mountain Mountains. I don't need to tell you how much impact the mountainous areas have on the mobility of the armored forces. You don't need me to tell you.
Need to say more? The situation is serious, comrades!"
Ye Han pursed his lips: "As far as I know, the Black Mountain Mountains are the birthplace of giant ants. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the nest of giant ants. This place has steep mountains and dense forests. In the virgin forest, there are towering trees and laurel crowns.
The sky blocks out the sun, and it is rare to see the sun even on a clear day. Even with aerial reconnaissance, it is difficult to observe the accurate situation on the ground."
Long Jianguo nodded solemnly: "Is there any more?"
Ye Han hesitated for a moment and said with difficulty: "Yes!"
"speak!"
Ye Han took a deep breath: "I just got on the roof of the car and took a look. There are not only tall trees in the forest, but also dense bushes. The bushes are at least as high as half a person. If the ant nest is hidden in a tree as tall as a person,
In the bushes, if you are a little further away, you will miss it, which is very detrimental to the next step."
"That makes sense!" Lu Qingzhi rarely agreed, "I think the most important thing is how to safely enter the virgin forest and successfully find the ant nests. As long as we find the ant nests, are we afraid that we won't be able to eliminate them?"
