The armored support vehicle drove into Linyi. Although the armor had been being maintained in the past few days, when things came to an end, several people on the vehicle still rushed to check their equipment for the last time before the operation started.
In the past few days, everyone had been looking forward to Beidu's action, but when the action actually started, they all fell silent again.
After the equipment inspection was completed, Xiao Yuan sat in his armor and said quietly: "It's been so many days, and I don't know how many people have been eaten by ants..."
If the action started earlier, fewer people would die!
Everyone understands this truth, but even the most heartless Xiao Yuan would not say this.
The piano master leaned his elbows on his knees and sighed: "It's good to be back. To be honest, I'm surprised that it only takes a few days to complete the preparations. Don't tell me you don't understand."
They are all professional soldiers and understand the importance of planning. Not only did the rescue force's armored vehicles need to be modified, but their armored support vehicle also had its turret removed. The large hole left by the turret on the roof was simply welded on.
An armor plate.
The only vehicle-mounted weapon today is a machine gun with a caliber of 762 mm.
"I understand." Xiao Yuan felt bitter in his heart, "But I just don't feel happy."
"So what if it's not pleasant? If you see it too much, you'll get used to it." Ye Han said lightly.
His heart was by no means as indifferent as he appeared on the surface, but after seeing so many deaths, death was no longer strange to him.
Death is just a moment, and human life is far from as tough as it seems on the surface.
The piano master looked at Ye Han with an inquiring look. Seeing that Ye Han had no intention of explaining, he withdrew his gaze and said, "We don't have much time left. Get ready to go."
Four people sat in the disassembled power armor at the same time, and the various parts of the armor immediately closed together. After a few seconds, four murderous power armors penetrated several people.
"Get off the car and walk in a while, Ye Han, can you still remember the route that day?"
"It should be no problem. Ants definitely don't understand what marks are."
"I hope so."
"Captain Bian, do I need to follow?" Luo Mingyu asked.
The violinist thought for a while and said, "Follow me, our car can hold a few people."
A few minutes later, the armored vehicle successfully arrived at Ant Nest No. 1. The leading armored support vehicle stopped, and behind it, a group of armored vehicles lined up on the road.
More vehicles are arriving, and officers and soldiers from the other two companies are rushing to several other ant nests - the battalion at the reception desk is not idle these days. Although they did not enter the ant nests due to Beidu's strict order, the ants in the city are
The entrance to the nest has been thoroughly touched by the soldiers at the reception desk.
There is definitely more than one cave where boxer ants store humans, and there is definitely more than one ant nest in Linyi City. There are many more caves that need to be rescued.
Ant Nest No. 1.
The violinist was the first to jump out of the armored vehicle, yelling to follow me, and rushed into the ant nest with a flamethrower.
Others followed, followed by the armored support vehicle driven by Luo Yu, and the armored vehicles belonging to the mechanized infantry brigade followed in turn.
After entering the hole for only ten meters, the light became very dim. Even if the armored vehicle turned on its headlights, it could not clearly see the situation in the distance. In addition, the height of the anthole was insufficient, so the armored vehicle could not increase its speed, and its forward speed was about the same as a trot.
The vehicles of the mechanized infantry brigade did not simply follow. The roof of one of the armored vehicles suddenly opened, and a soldier wrapped in a fire-proof suit emerged. He held something as big as a palm in his hand and slapped it hard on the roof of the cave.
.
Immediately there was a "ceiling lamp" with a low brightness on the roof of the cave. This thing was not only used for lighting, but also for indicating direction.
Another armored vehicle stopped at regular intervals, a few soldiers jumped out of the vehicle, and an antenna over one meter high was erected in a location that would not affect traffic. There was also a palm-sized box under the antenna.
This thing is a communication repeater. As long as one is placed at intervals, radio communication with the ground can always be maintained even at the bottom of a cave hundreds of meters deep. The homework done by Beidu is not just as simple as modifying equipment.
At the same time that the troops entered the ant nest, the brigade headquarters set up at the train station also entered working status. As the convoy advanced, the vehicle's position signal was fed back to the command vehicle through the repeater, and a 3D map gradually extended underground.
Forming can determine the specific location and depth of each vehicle through communication signals.
With the detailed distribution of troops and the efficient command of the headquarters, the combat efficiency achieved is by no means as simple as one plus one equals two.
After entering the ant nest, Ye Han and others successfully found the original mark. At first, they could follow the direction indicated by the mark. However, as they entered the depths of the ant nest, the marks became more and more messy, and they reached another intersection.
Ye Han suddenly froze, looking left and right, but he didn't know which way to move his legs.
"What's wrong?" the violinist asked.
"I can't remember." Ye Han was annoyed. "I was afraid that I might get lost, so I marked both sides."
The violinist suddenly became anxious: "Which side looks familiar?"
"They're all the same." Ye Han couldn't remember the original route and sighed helplessly, "Let's look for traces."
The holes dug by the giant cockroaches are very distinctive. The soil layer is very strong. Even if you are wearing power armor, you can't leave any obvious marks. However, you were very panicked when you escaped. It is common to scratch the walls of the cave.
There were also a few fires set on the way. As long as you take the time to search, you can always find the correct route.
When tracking boxer ants, there is no extra time to mark, so I just use a knife to make a mark on the top of the cave. As long as I find the place where I first encountered boxer ants, I can find the "granary" of boxer ants.
Several people turned on their headlights and soon found half a shoe heel mark in the hole on the left, and half a burnt ant leg a little further away.
Looking for some conclusive evidence, the convoy continued to move forward, and soon found a charred fork in the road.
When passing the fork in the road, Ye Han carefully observed it. Although he did not find any boxer ants in the fork in the cave, the violinist still did not forget to warn his allies to be more careful.
At the same time, the troops of the other two companies have already penetrated into two other ant nests. However, the conditions of those ant nests are unknown and they have no idea where the targets are. Therefore, their main task is to map the terrain inside the ant nests and when to find the victims.
Or, when will we gather our troops to carry out rescue operations?
In fact, one side also had the same mission. After arriving at the location where the boxer ants were encountered, the team immediately split into two. With the cooperation of Ding Mo, an armored vehicle headed to the cave where the bones were piled, while the main force continued to move towards the "granary".
A few minutes later, Ding Mo and others successfully arrived at the target. The images in the cave were transmitted back to the ground. The headquarters was suddenly silent. It took a long time for the technical staff to mark the two words "Bone Tomb" on the 3D map with complicated emotions.
