One person and one insect passed by each other. Ye Han did a forward somersault and landed firmly. The giant insect behind him plunged on the ground and slid more than two meters away. Under the giant insect, green insect blood gradually spread out.
Before the smoke cleared, seven or eight giant insects emerged from behind the building.
Ye Han immediately fired without hesitation, firing while retreating. When he ran out of bullets, he retreated to the front of the position, threw away the machine gun in his hand, raised two machine guns again and charged towards the giant insect.
With the mobility provided by the power armor, Ye Han wandered among the giant insects like a dancer walking between life and death, killing the giant insects that rushed towards the position one by one.
The fastest giant insect even rushed into the position. Ye Han wanted to kill the giant insect in the position first, but he unexpectedly discovered that after the giant insect got into the position, it was like taking root and never rushed towards the airport again.
Unable to figure out what was going on with the giant insect, Ye Han decided to observe it for a while. Unexpectedly, the giant insect turned around in the position a few times before crawling out and rejoining the team besieging Ye Han.
In the blink of an eye, the machine gun in his hand was out of bullets. Ye Han threw away the machine gun, took off the armored rifle from behind, and fired at the giant insect's thorax.
Armored rifles are more powerful than machine guns. Basically, three to five shots can paralyze a giant insect. After one magazine is used up, there will only be two giant insects left in front of the position that can still move.
Handing the gun to his left hand, Ye Han pulled out his pistol and fired several shots to use up all the bullets, killing the last two giant insects.
The armored pistol has insufficient range, but is powerful at close range.
Ye Han quickly replaced the new magazine, and then retreated to the position vigilantly. The low roar of the engine could be heard in the distance. He turned around and saw an open-top jeep full of people rushing towards the No. 7 position like a flying car.
A few seconds later, the jeep stopped behind the position, and the soldiers on the vehicle jumped out one after another, rushed into the position as quickly as possible, set up fire points, and collected the bodies of their comrades.
The sergeant who jumped out of the co-pilot walked straight to Ye Han and saluted: "Chief, the second platoon and second squad of the guard company have been ordered to hand over the position."
Ye Han returned the greeting: "There is no need to be so polite on the battlefield. Did the headquarters say anything else?"
"No, just let us come over for support," the sergeant said.
Ye Han nodded: "Okay, I'll leave the position to you."
The sergeant saluted and entered the position. Ye Han looked at the lonely figures in the position and couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart.
Even the guard company has been dispatched. I am afraid that the headquarters no longer has a reserve team. At this juncture, is there any point in holding on to the position? Why not shrink the troops?
Full of doubts, he tried to communicate with the command center: "Thunder and Lightning is calling the command center. Please answer when you receive it."
"Command received it, please speak."
"Support troops have taken over the position."
"Okay, please come to the command center right away...it's the airport tower."
"Understood, I have a question. Can you please tell me?" Ye Han looked around and immediately determined the location of the tower.
"Speaking."
"I have no intention of interfering with the command, but I would like to ask, why are the troops not reduced? Is there any special significance in defending the airport?"
"Lieutenant Colonel, the airport is the largest material reserve point in Shayuan City, and it is also the largest refuge. We don't have many people. We can rely on the machine gun towers outside the airport to defend for a while. Without the support of the machine gun towers, we can only rely on our hands.
Those few people there simply can’t defend such a big airport.”
"But if we continue to fight like this, we will lose all our people. If we don't have people, we will lose everything." Ye Han felt heavy.
"Sorry, I have to close the line." As soon as he finished speaking, the communication was immediately interrupted.
Ye Han sighed quietly and continued to rush to the tower.
There were several large colored steel houses built in the open space on one side of the tower. As Ye Han approached the tower, he happened to see a group of people in civilian attire carrying weapons filing out of the colored steel houses. The age gap between these people was huge, and they were young.
Some looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, while the older ones were sixty or seventy years old. Women accounted for more than one-third of the total number, and everyone had a tragic look on their faces that could not be wiped off.
Ye Han's heart trembled, and she felt extremely ashamed and angry.
You don't need to ask to know that Shayuan City is mobilizing civilians to join the war.
After several expansions of the military's strength, there are rarely cases of insufficient troops in battles against giant insects. On the contrary, there are many cases of running out of ammunition and food. Although the country has an emergency mobilization plan, so far, civilians have not been mobilized to participate.
There are only ten examples of combat.
You can imagine how bad the situation in Shayuan City has become.
Ye Han walked into the headquarters and was greeted personally by a colonel officer: "I am Hu Jian, Chief of Staff."
"Hello, I'm Ye Han." Ye Han glanced around and had a panoramic view of the situation in the command hall.
He didn't know what this place was originally used for, but the headquarters must have been here not long ago. There were messy equipment everywhere, but there were only a few people in the headquarters. It looked empty, as if it was going to be there soon.
The look of running away.
"Commander Yu is waiting for you." Hu Jian led Ye Han to a corner of the command hall.
When Ye Han met Commander Yu, Commander Yu looked very unhappy and said straight to the point: "Lieutenant Colonel Ye, you must have seen that our situation is very bad and I need your help."
"Speaking."
Commander Yu pointed to the map and said: "Here, we have more than a hundred people trapped here. The support troops have tried twice and failed to break through the blockade. We want you to think of a way."
Ye Han asked in surprise: "How to block the insect swarm?"
"There are a lot of giant bugs in the streets and they attack anything that moves."
"What do you need me to do?"
"Send a cart of ammunition there and they can fight it back themselves," Commander Yu said.
"truck?"
Commander Yu nodded: "Yes."
"I don't think I'm better than the support troops." Ye Han said, "Are there any armored vehicles?"
"There are only trucks and jeeps." Commander Yu said, "You have power armor. Even if the truck is damaged, you can still push it..."
"Wait a minute, Commander Yu, you think too highly of me. The mobile suit soldiers are not supermen, and the power armor is not as powerful as you think, and the battery pack cannot withstand high power consumption for a long time."
"That's more than a hundred people!" Chief of Staff Hu emphasized, "Rescue the people and we can defend the airport..."
"I am very willing to help, but everything must be based on an objective and feasible basis, rather than making plans based on your conjectures."
Commander Yu glanced at Chief of Staff Hu: "Then what do you think we should do?"
"I need an armored vehicle." Ye Han said, "A bulldozer or other tracked vehicle will also do."
