The defensive pressure on residential areas has been greatly reduced by air strikes, but air strikes cannot replace face-to-face defensive operations, and the battle around residential areas continues.
Ye Han and Battalion Commander Zhou still didn't know until this moment that this was the first large-scale contact between humans and biochemical giant insects, and it was also the first time that the modern warfare system had a head-on collision with biochemical giant insects.
The situation in residential areas is not very good, but the overall situation is still dominated by humans.
It's just that the cost invested is really out of proportion to the results obtained, and it is a definite loss-making business.
But neither Zhongnanhai nor the military gave up the idea of Huishan.
Twenty-two minutes after the fighter jets left Huishan, an army aviation formation consisting of twelve armed helicopters arrived near Huishan.
Based on the data provided by Hainan Airlines and satellites, the helicopter formation directly attached itself to the spider swarm flying to Huishan.
The pilots were a little surprised when they saw the flying giant spider for the first time, but the formation quickly approached the target and entered the mission state, using cannons as the main force and missiles as the supplement to comprehensively attack the giant spider in the air.
HNA's combat aircraft are too fast to accurately strike at the flying giant spider. In this case, the slower helicopters have stronger strike capabilities.
The giant spiders hanging in the air had no power to fight back and were massacred by the helicopter formation. The alert giant spiders instinctively let go of the balloon-like web, spitting out spider silk and sliding towards the ground.
The helicopter formation immediately separated out several aircraft to deal with the escaping giant spider.
The pilots soon discovered that there was no need to deal with the giant spiders in such deliberate ways. They only needed to fly the plane over the flying giant spiders. The strong downward airflow would destroy the silk web on which the giant spiders flew, causing the flying giant spiders to fly.
The flying giant spiders fell down in pieces.
However, this method is not particularly effective. The falling giant spider will spit out spider silk in mid-air to slow down its descent, and there are woods everywhere on the ground. There is a high chance that the spider silk spewed by the giant spider will hang on the tree, thus escaping the fall.
The fate of death.
In desperation, the helicopter formation could only resort to force strikes to deal with the giant spider.
How can the pilots not feel depressed after going around in a circle and returning to the starting point?
Fifty-four minutes after HNA evacuated, the transport aircraft formation arrived over Huishan.
The Huishan people, who had been well prepared, lit more than a dozen bonfires in the residential area to indicate the direction of the airdrop to the transport aircraft in the sky.
A moment later, dozens of tightly packed boxes detached from the transport plane, hung under parachutes and fell leisurely.
A few minutes later, the command headquarters received a report that only 11 of the more than 30 airdropped packages landed in the designated airdrop area, and the remaining 19 packages all landed outside the residential area!
Camp Commander Zhou was shocked and immediately said on the radio: "Open the boxes immediately, organize reserves to equip weapons, mobilize vehicles while ensuring the safety of the residential area, and recover scattered weapons."
After saying that, Battalion Commander Zhou looked at Ye Han: "Captain Ye, I need your help."
"No problem, what do you need us to do?" Ye Han agreed simply.
"My people lack protection and cannot get out of the vehicle. I plan to equip each armored vehicle with two mobile soldiers who will be responsible for getting out of the vehicle to recover the equipment."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away. How many cars will you draw?" Ye Han asked.
"Ten vehicles, ten vehicles at most." Battalion Commander Zhou said.
Ye Han was startled and smiled bitterly: "There are only a dozen of us in total, and our armored vehicles can also go out."
"Then let's do it on a per-person basis." Battalion Commander Zhou said, "It's better to keep your vehicles. Wheeled armored vehicles have poor adaptability, but our amphibious tanks have better adaptability."
"It's up to you, where to meet?" Ye Han said.
The soldiers of the armored battalion also used 30mm machine guns, which made him subconsciously think that the armored battalion used tracked armored vehicles, but he did not expect that they were actually amphibious tanks.
This thing must be able to float on the sea, and its weight cannot be too high. It is completely understandable that it is only heavier than an armored vehicle.
"Just over there at the bridge." Battalion Commander Zhou said.
Both of them were action men, so they immediately put the plan in place. After a while, all the mobile troops and seven amphibious tanks were gathered at the designated location.
There was no need to mobilize and there was no need to talk nonsense. Ye Han gave an order and everyone sat in groups on the navy tank - the space inside the tank was too small and the power armor took up too much space. The mobile soldiers simply could not get into the tank.
Seven vehicles drove across the bridge one after another. Just as the amphibious tank reached the middle of the bridge, several flying fire dragons suddenly burst out from the outside of the residential area, burning a dozen giant spiders near the other side into flaming candle heads.
Giant spiders pose a certain threat to powered armor, but as long as you pay attention, the possibility of being attacked by giant spiders is very small. The seven scattered armored vehicles did not allow the scattered packaging boxes to be recovered smoothly, but also killed many giant spiders along the way.
Before dawn, sixteen of the nineteen packing boxes scattered outside were recovered, and the defense situation gradually became clear, so there was no need to rush to find the last three packing boxes.
This is because the power armor must return to the residential area to replace the battery every once in a while, otherwise it would not waste so much time.
After dawn, the military conducted a comprehensive analysis of the situation in Huishan through satellites. The analysis not only determined the approximate number of giant spiders, but also found the locations of the last three packaging boxes.
After a simple breakfast, the troops were preparing to set off to retrieve the last three packing boxes. Ye Han suddenly heard An Dongli's call: "Captain, communication from Beidu!"
"Forward it to me!" Ye Han saw the instruction that the communication equipment was ready and immediately said on the radio, "I am Ye Han!"
"I am Captain Ye from the Beidu Command Center. The headquarters has a new task for you."
Ye Han sighed quietly: "I promise to complete the mission!" He said this, but he knew very well that the order from Beidu would definitely be a big trouble.
"Don't shout slogans." The person on the radio said very pragmatically, "I need your troops to capture a few giant spiders alive and bring them back to me."
"Catch the giant spider alive?" Ye Han asked in surprise.
"Yes, the giant spider has great experimental value. We can find the weakness of the giant spider through research. It is best to use it for me. Are there any difficulties?"
"I need an anesthetic."
"No problem, the airdrop has been arranged, and the helicopter has also been arranged. Once you catch the giant spider, report it directly to me. I will arrange the rest."
"What's the specific number? What's the male-female ratio?"
"Male and female, you can arrange the rest by yourself."
"clear."
The communication was interrupted, and Ye Han immediately said on the radio: "Brothers, we have work to do!"
"No way!" Xiao Yuan wailed, "I haven't slept all night."
"It's not too late to go back to sleep after the mission is completed." Ye Han said, "Our new mission is to catch a few giant spiders. We will start solving personal problems now and we will set off in five minutes!"
