Ye Han unexpectedly discovered that although he had only left for a short while, the giant mantis outside the city was closer to the city wall than not long ago!
The giant mantises approaching the city wall were not just one or two, but the front line of the insect swarm. In other words, the speed at which the defenders killed the giant mantises could not match the speed at which the giant mantises advanced!
Ye Han's heart beat a few beats unsatisfactorily, and he picked up his rifle and joined the battle again.
The swarm of insects pressed forward step by step. The soldiers who had used up all their bullets were worried that leaving the fighting position would give the giant mantis an opportunity. They did not dare to replenish their ammunition. They could only open the grenade launcher as quickly as possible, load the grenades and fire at the target.
With one breath, he shot all four grenades on his body and successfully destroyed two giant mantises approaching the city wall.
The results of this soldier's battle immediately attracted the attention of others. Using grenades to deal with the giant mantis was much more effective than using bullets to destroy the giant mantis. Many soldiers who still had ammunition in their guns no longer fired, but learned how to do it.
The ground was bombarded with rifle grenades. For a while, the sound of thumping was heard on the wall, and a rain of grenades rained down from the wall, giving the approaching insect swarms a head-on blow.
Several soldiers who had used up all their bullets simply stopped loading their magazines and directly dragged the boxes containing grenades to their side and fired continuously at the giant mantis.
Flames burst out in the air outside the wall, and giant mantises drank in the air.
Ye Han's eyes turned red with envy. Unfortunately, he was a policeman. Although the gun he held was from the military, it did not have a grenade launcher on it, so he could only look at it with envy.
The giant mantis directly in front of Ye Han was temporarily contained, but the situation in other directions was still grim. Just a few dozen meters away, the giant mantis approaching the city wall suddenly took off and collectively jumped on the top of the wall. A soldier refused to retreat, and the giant mantis that jumped head-on was crazy.
When he opened fire, he was hit by a giant mantis and fell off the wall screaming.
The giant mantis clinging to the wall waved its blade like lightning, and the afterimage flashed by. A warrior who couldn't avoid it was cut off at the waist by the blade, and his internal organs flowed out of his body. The green intestines hung on the wall like a rope.
The man who had been cut in half would not die for a while. The huge pain made the soldier unable to even utter a scream. He bit his lip tightly and stared at the giant mantis that was close at hand with hatred, using up his last strength.
Pull the tab off the grenade.
"Boom -" The strong explosion pushed the giant mantis that had just climbed onto the wall out of the wall, but it was not harmed. However, the soldier who held the grenade had no bones left, and his flesh, blood, internal organs and blood were splashed everywhere.
It was filled with the top of the wall near the explosion point and the ground under the wall.
What's even more troublesome is that the explosion occurred so suddenly that the three nearby soldiers had no time to react. Two soldiers were knocked down by the shock wave, and one of them almost fell off the city wall. The other soldier was hit by shrapnel in the back of the neck and died on the spot.
The blood was washed away in the drizzle, gradually flowing down the platform and into the ground.
The platform made of welded steel plates was also twisted and deformed in the explosion, making it difficult to pass. The section of the city wall suddenly had a firepower gap, and seven or eight giant mantises jumped on the top of the wall.
Everyone was stunned by this turn of events. A few soldiers did not bother to ask for help from their comrades, and all turned their guns to fill the loopholes, which only caused the firepower of that section of the city wall to be even more dispersed.
The anti-aircraft machine guns on the two fire platforms immediately changed their directions and implemented fire support.
The power of the 14.5 mm caliber anti-aircraft machine gun is astonishing. A single bullet can easily defeat a giant mantis. However, the bullets are powerful and bulky, making it difficult to replenish the ammunition. Therefore, the anti-aircraft machine gun has been used as sniper firepower until the critical situation at this moment.
Use short bursts of fire to implement suppressive fire.
One after another, giant mantises soared into the sky. The giant mantises hit by anti-aircraft gunfire were like a grenade exploding in their bodies. A hole as thick as a bucket suddenly exploded in their body surface. Broken carapace and flesh flew into the air.
The insect body jumped out of control and fell down.
Ye Han seemed to hear the sound of the carapace shattering. He could only think of the word "destroying" in his mind. He wished he could immediately replace the rifle in his hand with a large-caliber anti-aircraft machine gun.
The forward of the insect swarm was suddenly frustrated. The giant mantis, which was hit by the anti-aircraft gun, fell from the sky like rain. The insect corpses outside the wall almost covered the ground.
The giant insects in the direction of the damaged city wall were effectively contained, but the giant insects in other directions took the opportunity to get close to the city wall. Swarms of insects continuously appeared in all directions to attack the city wall, ranging from groups of three and two to as many as a dozen.
The defensive pressure of the defenders suddenly increased. Several city walls were breached by giant insects at the same time. The powerful insect limbs ravaged the walls. No defender could stand within the range of the giant mantis's blade limbs. The defenders were in extreme danger.
Several people were killed and injured in a short period of time, and the intensity of firepower on the wall dropped sharply.
The city wall near Ye Han was also broken through by a giant mantis. The huge insect limbs swept across. Three soldiers were swept down by the insect limbs. Two of them fell from the top of the wall, and the other one happened to fall in front of Ye Han.
The soldier's chest was as concave as the bottom of a bowl, and blood spurted out of his mouth like a fountain. The pair of dark eyes looked at Ye Han, filled with nostalgia for life. Then, the young life was frozen forever at this moment.
.
Several rifle grenades hit the giant mantis at the same time, and the giant mantis was immediately lifted out of the wall by the blast of air.
Although the grenade repelled the giant mantis, the city wall was also affected by the explosion, causing the steel plate to twist and deform.
Ye Han's mind buzzed, and he rushed over, picked up the soldier's rifle with a grenade launcher, and loaded the grenade with great skill.
"Boom--" The grenade popped out of the chamber, and another ball of flame exploded in the air.
At this moment, less than three minutes after Ye Han and others climbed onto the city wall, the situation had already become extremely serious. The city wall's defense line was shaky and about to collapse.
Several giant mantises took the opportunity to cross over the wall, but the intelligence of the giant mantises was completely unable to understand the human world. The giant mantises that fell into the city were like falling stones, slamming into the steel forest pointed at the wall.
The giant mantis was so long and heavy that its carapace, no matter how hard it was, could not withstand the force of the fall. It was immediately pierced by the sharpened steel bars, and it was nailed to the ground like an insect that was about to be made into an insect specimen but was not completely dead.
If the giant mantises that fell into the city were not pierced by the steel forest inside the wall, the city wall defense line would have been broken through by the insect swarm.
However, the vitality of giant mantises is as tenacious as that of Xiaoqiang. This small stabbing does not hurt the roots at all. Several giant mantises pressed their long legs against the ground and even pulled out the huge insect bodies from the steel bars. Once the giant mantises escaped and rushed
Entering the city will have disastrous consequences!
The defenders on the wall noticed the strange movement of the giant mantis in time, and several soldiers immediately shot at the giant mantis that broke through the defense line. However, the effect was not satisfactory, and the giant mantis was about to escape.
