Lead clouds filled the sky, and the slightly cold wind blew through the streets littered with debris, picking up a few torn scraps of paper.
The rumble of engines broke the silence, and two wheeled armored vehicles drove into the deserted street one after another and stopped next to a burned-out bus.
There was a soft creaking sound, and the heavy cover on the roof of the car was lifted. A mobile soldier got out of the car and looked up at the huge spider web not far ahead.
"Boss, how do we fight?" Xiao Yuan asked.
Ye Han didn't say anything, he just stared at the huge spider lying in the middle of the web in trance.
The giant spider's incredible vitality left such a deep impression on him that he had to think carefully about what he should do to catch the giant spider alive.
Ye Han originally thought that catching a giant spider alive would not be very difficult, but after experiencing the scene just now, his full confidence turned into a soap bubble that was ruthlessly burst by reality.
"Boss?" Xiao Yuan raised his voice in surprise.
Ye Han withdrew his gaze and carefully observed the situation under the spider web: "The driver stayed in the car, and everyone else got out of the car for me. One group on the left, two on the right, divided into two groups to covertly surround the giant spider. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" everyone said in unison.
"My request is very simple, either you don't shoot, or you shoot and you must hit the spider's legs!" Ye Han emphasized emphatically.
"Spider legs?" Xiao Yuan was stunned, "Boss, you mean to knock off all the spider legs?"
Ye Han nodded: "Except for this, I can't think of any other way to catch the giant spider alive. Let's get started. The car will stay here."
"Let's go!" Xiao Yuan slapped the roof of the vehicle and shouted. The soldiers quickly jumped out of the armored vehicle, divided into two groups on the left and right, and approached the spider web from different directions.
The soldiers looked for suitable bunkers one after another. Some got under cars, some entered buildings, and some used street light poles.
Ye Han also followed the team. Like several other soldiers, he got into an abandoned car on the roadside, set up his rifle and prepared for battle.
The soldiers reported to their positions one by one, and Ye Han ordered on the radio: "Anzi, Quan Rui, knock down the cobwebs for me!"
After receiving the order, the two pilots immediately aimed at the spider webs stuck to the building. After the aim was completed, they both fired at the same time, and the two spider webs immediately separated from the building.
The originally tight spider web immediately softened on both sides, and the entire spider web trembled a few times. The giant spider lying in the center of the web realized that something was wrong, and immediately stretched out its long legs and ran to the edge of the spider web.
After a few more cannonballs, the other two spider silks broke, and a small half of the spider web fluttered in the wind. The giant spider immediately gave up its original plan. The spinneret on its abdomen sprayed out a stream of spider silk and stuck to the web. Its eight legs loosened the spider web, while
The spinning edge slides down, quickly approaching the ground as if sliding down.
Ye Han shouted sternly: "Get ready to fight, free fire!"
Normally, after the order of free fire is given, there will be loud gunfire, but today was different from usual. After receiving the order, no one of the soldiers opened fire.
It wasn't until the giant spider fell to the ground and all eight legs were on the ground that the warrior hiding behind the giant spider opened fire decisively, hitting the giant spider's right hind leg with one shot.
In order to avoid injuring the giant spider, the soldier only fired one shot. The shot giant spider jumped up on the spot and quickly turned around to look for the enemy.
The soldier happened to be hiding under a truck. The giant spider did not notice where the enemy was for a while. The soldier took the opportunity to fire another shot, hitting the spider's leg for the second time, but this time it hit the right front leg.
At the same time, another soldier fired and successfully hit the giant spider's hind leg joint.
Although the giant spider has little intelligence, it is not lacking in instincts. Attacks from multiple directions aroused the giant spider's instinctive vigilance. It ran away without hesitation, giving no one a chance to continue shooting to grind down the BOSS.
Ye Han's teeth were itching with hatred. Why was the damn giant spider so slippery? He knew he would just run away if he couldn't beat him!
He didn't want to let go of the giant spider at all, so he simply ordered the armored vehicle to open fire. The two machine cannons fired at the same time. The dense shells immediately covered the giant spider. In the blink of an eye, five or six of the giant spider's legs were blown off, and the huge spider body turned into a
A pile of minced meat.
Killing a giant spider is a good thing, but if you continue to implement the original capture plan, the final result will definitely turn the capture mission into an annihilation mission.
Although Ye Han really didn't think the giant spider had any research value, an order was an order, and he couldn't complain to his superiors that he couldn't complete the task just because of a little difficulty.
The higher-ups would never think that the task was really that difficult, they would just think that Ye Han was incompetent.
He doesn't mind what his superiors think of him, but he really cares about completing the mission. For a soldier, failing to complete the mission means shame and discredits his military career!
When Ye Han returned to the car, he started to use his brain and continued to think about how to solve the problem at hand. The soldiers also discussed the solution in a hurry.
It didn't take long for a new plan to take shape amidst the controversy among everyone. Ye Han immediately contacted Battalion Commander Zhou and asked what kind of artillery shells the armored battalion carried.
As a result, the armored battalion only brought high-explosive shells and no armor-piercing shells that Ye Han needed. He could only contact Beidu again to request an airdrop of a batch of armor-piercing shells. Not only did he request an airdrop of 30mm machine gun armor-piercing shells, he also requested a batch of 12.7mm rifle armor-piercing shells.
Although high-explosive bombs can break the legs of giant spiders, the explosion will damage the giant spiders themselves. I believe the laboratory does not want a batch of injured giant spiders.
Ye Han also wanted a few nets with a large enough area, but considering that there was no suitable means to net the giant spider, he had to give up this tempting idea.
It would take some time to arrange the airdrop. There was no point in continuing to search for the giant spider. Ye Han simply ordered the troops to rest on the spot and wait until the ammunition was received before talking about the next step.
Since the outbreak of the insect infestation, airports in various places have often received airdrop missions. The airdropped materials are of all kinds, but they are basically inseparable from weapons and ammunition, food, medicine and quilts. Therefore, various airports under the military have established
A temporary reserve mechanism has been established to reserve various supplies at the airport.
Ammunition is the main material for airdrops and the main material stored at the airport. Ye Han's application was directly sent from Beidu to the airport closest to Huishan. From the packaging of the ammunition to the arrangement of the plane, the whole process only took a little over half an hour.
More than an hour after the airdrop request was issued, the transport plane flew over Huishan again and dropped supplies at the designated location.
Following the lessons learned from the last airdrop, Ye Han found a square to serve as an airdrop site this time, and received the needed supplies without any surprises.
Ye Han led the soldiers to unpack and was about to replace the artillery shells in the armored vehicle, but he never expected that the airdropped artillery shells were actually whole boxes of unopened versions, not those already stuck on the ammunition belts.
"Combat Ready Edition".
In other words, he must first remove the remaining shells from the belt, then load the armor-piercing shells onto the belt, and then he can load the cannon with shells!
