Ye Han couldn't help but began to wonder if there would be a 203 heavy artillery group nearby, but he quickly gave up the idea.
There are not many 203 heavy artillery equipped by the military to begin with. How could it be possible to just transfer a group of artillery pieces?
In terms of cost performance, the 203 heavy artillery is also not cost-effective.
The killing radius of a 155 grenade is about fifty meters, which means that people within this range will be hit by at least one shrapnel. The killing radius of the 203 grenade is 80 meters. Two 155 mm shells can kill
The range is certainly greater than a 203 shell.
The shooting speed of the former is four to five times that of the latter. If a 155-gun group fires at full strength, it can burn out all the shells in a few minutes. How many base shells must be consumed to deal with such a large group of giant locusts?
Not to mention how much these shells are worth, just the transportation of the shells can make the logistics department cry.
Ordinarily, the military should not place several artillery groups on the same section of the same highway. If you dare to do this in a war, you are simply asking for death.
However, dealing with giant locusts cannot be compared with a real war. The above arrangement is probably to give full play to the firepower of vehicle-mounted machine guns. After all, machine guns carry much more ammunition than cannons, and giant locusts are not praying mantises and cockroaches with super vitality.
The huge size of the bullets is not ignored, and using bullets to deal with them is also a good choice.
The roar of the heavy artillery soon ended. The locust swarms in the north had been covered by artillery fire twice. The originally neat fields were filled with half-dead giant locusts. The good crops were ignited by incendiary bombs, and the raging fire burned in the evening wind.
It burned fiercely, forming a wall of flames that was two stories high.
The flames illuminated the fields, and the fiery red light reflected half of the sky. At this moment, there was no need to use flares to see the locust swarms clearly.
However, the locust swarms from the north did not retreat in front of the wall of fire, but rushed towards the flames one after another. Many giant locusts' wings were burned by the flames, and they lost control and fell from the air. The lucky ones fell outside the flames and still managed to survive. The unfortunate ones were directly
They fell into the flames and struggled desperately, but it only took a short while for them to die in the high-temperature flames, leaving only their bodies to continue burning.
The abdomens of locusts are very soft. Due to the high temperature of the flames, the bellies of many giant locusts exploded in the flames. The internal organs and body fluids in the abdomens extinguished some of the flames, but after a while, the little liquid evaporated in the high temperature.
Although many giant locusts hated themselves in front of the flames, more giant locusts successfully crossed the flames and continued to advance south, determined to fight to the death.
Witnessing all this, Ye Han suddenly remembered the scene of catching grasshoppers when he was a child, and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind: Isn't this thing active during the day and resting at night? How could the giant locusts in front of him move out in large numbers at night? Could it be that the giant locusts appeared somehow?
What kind of variation affects the habits of locusts?
He couldn't help but have some doubts, but he quickly put the doubts behind him and began to think about how to completely eliminate the locust swarm.
If the weather is good, as long as the Air Force sends bombers to drop a few cloud burst bombs, the effect will be better than artillery coverage.
Just when I thought of this, a blue-purple electric light suddenly exploded in the distant clouds. A few seconds later, a dull thunder rolled over the cannon group... and it didn't dissipate even after it passed!
How could the thunder continue continuously? Ye Han couldn't help but began to suspect that there was something wrong with his ears.
But he soon heard the problem. There was no thunder, but the roar of flying missiles!
Ye Han opened the top cover, took off the night vision goggles and looked at the sky, but the clouds were too low, and he could still only hear the sound but not the flames - the missile's tail flame was very conspicuous in the night sky, so Ye Han
With Han's eyesight, if there were no clouds blocking him, he would definitely be able to see where the missile was.
But it didn't matter if I couldn't see it. I got into the car and fastened the roof. After a short wait, a cloud of mist exploded over the locust swarm again.
However, this time the unburned white phosphorus flew everywhere, and a weak gunpowder suddenly exploded in the center of the exploding fog. Then the fog suddenly turned into a dazzling flame, and the flame quickly rose into a small dark red mushroom cloud.
The powerful shock wave swept across the locust swarm in an instant, and countless giant locusts were blown to pieces by the shock wave. Some of them were actually blown towards the highway by the shock wave and fell a hundred or ten meters away from the highway.
Fortunately, those seemingly lucky giant locusts were actually very unlucky. They were already dead before they even landed and could not pose any threat.
Ye Han secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although the bombers did not appear, it was the same as using missiles to send cloud bombs over.
More than a dozen cloud bombs exploded in the locust swarm, and mushroom clouds rose one after another. If someone who didn't know what was going on saw this scene, they would definitely misunderstand that the explosion was a nuclear bomb.
The cloud explosion bomb destroyed a large number of giant locusts, and the shock wave also blew out the burning fire wall, but a new fire point soon appeared at the center of the explosion, and it would not take long for the fire to burn again.
At this time, Long Jianguo heard the voice from the command channel: "The rocket launcher is launched, the machine gun is ready to fire!"
Long Jianguo couldn't help but have a thought in his mind: The giant locusts were killed by artillery fire. What was the machine gun shooting at?
The multiple rocket launchers parked on the opposite road opened fire in unison. One rocket after another flew into the sky with a conspicuous tail flame, and disappeared into the night sky. Within ten or twenty seconds, the full bomb nest was fired.
, if it weren’t for the thick clouds in the sky, we would definitely be able to see the spectacular sight of a large string of rockets flying into the night sky.
But Ye Han suddenly became confused again. Rocket artillery was famous for its range, but the locust swarm was only a few kilometers away. The target of these rockets was obviously not the swarm of giant locusts in front of him.
The power of the cloud bomb gradually dissipated, and the giant locust, which had escaped the disaster, did not repent and rushed towards the highway again.
At present, both artillery groups are replenishing ammunition, and the rocket artillery group cannot be counted on. If Long Jianguo does not know where the target is, his life for the past thirty years will have been in vain.
He immediately assigned targets, and all the armored vehicles that received the order were ready for battle, just waiting for the giant locust to enter the shooting range - the range of the machine gun is far inferior to that of the real cannon, so it can only deal with close-range targets, and it can only deal with targets several kilometers away.
Locust swarms outside are powerless.
Closer, closer, the front giant locust is less than one kilometer away from the road, Long Jianguo's eyes suddenly shot out a stern look: "Free fire - open fire!"
More than 30 armored vehicles received the order, and all the gunners started firing at the same time. More than 30 machine guns suddenly shot out neat flames, and dozens of small-caliber shells rushed forward, breaking through the darkness and flying towards the target, leaving fleeting streaks in the air.
traces of.
At the same time, the large-caliber machine gun on the wheeled assault gun also started firing, and the shells and bullets drew out streaks of red flames in the night.
