In order to ensure safety, the wounded did not evacuate to the rooftop from the spiral staircase where the blocking position was located, but took the several blown-up spiral staircases.
After the evacuation order was issued, the soldiers took quick action, carrying the seriously wounded while leaving the lightly wounded on their own, and evacuated to the rooftop as quickly as possible.
The faster their speed, the shorter the blocking force can hold out.
There were also swarms of insects waiting under the blown-up stairs, but the stairs were so completely blown up that almost everything below the seventh floor was destroyed. The insects could only stay on the first floor and look at the stairs and sigh.
Some stinging insects also tried to spray bone spurs at the evacuating team, but the height difference was too great. The bone spurs had to be sprayed straight upward to hit the evacuating humans.
However, due to the physiological structure of the neck, the head of the stinging insect can only be raised to about 70 degrees at most. The bone spurs spit out from the first floor can only be stuck in the wall of the fourth floor at most. No matter how high it is, you can only watch...
…Their eyes are much more flexible than their necks, and they have no problem seeing things directly above them.
The stinging insects failed to achieve their goal, and the insect swarm still refused to give up. More and more insects gathered under the blown-up stairs, layer by layer, climbing up like a stack of Arhats - insects are good at climbing walls, but
The inner walls of the fortress are not as rough as the outer walls, and it is not that easy to climb up!
However, having bones on the outside has an advantage. They clung to the wall and climbed up layer by layer. In a short while, they had climbed to the fifth floor!
Although it is only one level higher than the bone spurs, the bugs are still going on. Is it difficult to climb two more levels?
The actions of the insect swarm were all in the eyes of the evacuating team. At first, they deliberately ignored them, but when the insects reached the fifth floor, they could no longer ignore them.
Each evacuating team had a part dedicated to fighting. Faced with this situation, the soldiers did not shoot, but fired grenades at the layers of insects below.
And the soldiers are not aiming at bugs, but at the ground on the first floor!
Aiming at bugs can only kill them, but aiming at the ground can destroy the foundation of the stacked Arhat!
After several explosions, the giant bugs on the bottom floor were either dead or injured, and could no longer support the bugs above. The bug tower that was about to reach the sixth floor collapsed instantly, and giant bugs all over the wall fell down.
Only a few giant insects found a foothold on the wall, clinging to the bulges on the wall as if grasping a life-saving straw.
One soldier raised his gun and was about to fire, but another soldier suppressed his rifle: "Let them hang, they are exhausted!"
The soldier put down his rifle and quickly followed the team to the rooftop without killing the giant insects hanging on the wall.
But he was worried that the insect swarm would pile up again, so after going up two more floors, he placed the two mines he carried on the stairs.
The others followed suit, and after a while, there were more than a dozen landmines placed on the stairs... It would be fine if the bugs didn't chase them up. If they really catch up, they have to taste what the landmines feel like first!
While the defenders retreated to the rooftop in three groups, Kong Jie and other soldiers responsible for breaking up the rear still stood firm on their positions.
When the evacuation order was issued, the soldiers had just fought back the insect swarm's attack. The next round of insect attack had not yet begun, and the atmosphere on the position was quite relaxed.
However, the evacuation actions in other directions quickly attracted the attention of the insect swarm. Although they were not ready to attack again, the insect swarm still launched an attack on the position.
The battle soon began, with humans and insects fighting to the death.
Perhaps due to the lack of preparation for the insect swarm, the intensity of this attack was far less than the previous ones, and the pressure on the soldiers was far from as high as the previous times. It didn't take much effort to block the insect swarm downstairs.
Soon after, the blocking team received a retreat order from Captain Tong, and everyone evacuated their positions one by one, blowing up the stairs after everyone left.
The stairs detonated successfully, but the explosion was limited to the seventh to eighth floors, and only a small section of the stairs was destroyed.
The explosion stopped the battle. Kong Jie and his comrades rushed to the rooftop together, while the insect swarm was blocked on the seventh floor by the broken staircase.
While the soldiers were running away, they couldn't help but look down. They found that bugs were gathering at the broken stairs. They stepped on them one by one and piled them up. It seemed that they were planning to use an insect bridge to connect the broken stairs.
.
The soldiers were immediately in trouble.
The stairs are only broken by one level. With the ability of the insect swarm, it does not take much effort to build an insect bridge. If you ignore it, the insect swarm will soon catch up.
A few soldiers took care of themselves, raised their guns and fired at the insect bridge that had just been built. However, this firepower could not stop the insect swarm at all, and the insect bridge continued to extend upward bit by bit.
More soldiers joined in the shooting, and finally stopped the extension of the insect bridge. The soldiers used dense bullets to cut off the insect bridge until all the giant insects fell.
However, the swarms of insects are still crawling up regardless of life and death, and it won't be long before the swarms of insects will appear again.
After several people discussed it, they simply stopped moving up and stayed here to continue blocking the insect swarm.
Captain Tong on the rooftop could not wait for the rear troops. Instead, he heard intensive gunshots coming from the stairwell, and he almost became an ant on the hot pot.
After asking what exactly happened, Captain Tong also hesitated.
His first reaction was to stop the insect swarm, so someone must stay!
Captain Tong immediately ordered the soldiers to set up a blocking position on the spot, then summoned the soldiers on the rooftop and ordered each person to leave only one live magazine. The excess ammunition must be handed over and sent to the blocking troops as quickly as possible.
.
If possible, Captain Tong really wanted to blow up all the remaining stairs, but he had already used up all the explosives.
In order to withdraw the blocking troops as soon as possible, Captain Tong quickly contacted the command center, hoping that the command center would find a way to support a batch of explosives.
Funing is not short of explosives, but the nearby fortress buildings do not have any extra explosives, and the nearest storage warehouse is one kilometer away, so there is no way to deliver them in a short time.
Captain Tong immediately explained the situation here to the command center, emphasizing that there were still a group of soldiers remaining below to stop the insect swarm.
In this regard, the command center's attitude was very clear. The soldiers must be withdrawn immediately, and the attack must be blocked or fought on the rooftop. At least the rooftop can get fire support from several nearby fortress buildings.
Company Commander Tong suddenly realized this and immediately issued a fatal order to the blocking troops to evacuate immediately. However, he was not the kind of rigid person. When giving the order, he also explained the advantages of rooftop blocking.
After receiving the order, Kong Jie and others quickly withdrew from the battle and retreated to the rooftop as quickly as possible.
Running up the stairs consumes a lot of energy, even with bare hands. The soldiers are all carrying heavy equipment, which consumes even more energy. After running a few floors, they are already out of breath.
But no one dares to stop, because the insect bridge may be built at any time, and it must be evacuated to the rooftop as soon as possible!
When they rushed out of the stairwell, the soldiers who had retreated to the rooftop first were already ready. The soldiers formed an arc around the main entrance of the stairwell, with hundreds of rifles pointed at that door.
