Liu Bin could feel a strong tremor through the armor, but immediately found that the six legs wrapped around him were soft and loose, and a large stream of insect blood escaped from the giant insect's mouth.
Liu Bin seized the opportunity and kicked away the giant insect.
No one knew exactly what happened, and no one had time to delve into the reasons. In short, the soldiers came to cover up the water and the soil, and all the giant insects that came around were waiting with grenades.
Only Liu Bin knew clearly that the explosive bomb with strong light and sound that he stuffed into the mouth of the bug must have shattered the internal organs of the bug into pieces, turning it into a pot of meat porridge that could not be distinguished.
At this time, the giant insect that Xiangzi kicked away was still alive and kicking, but its six legs were kicking randomly. Suddenly, it hugged the friendly insect that swam by the side, opened its bloody mouth and bit the friendly insect.
The two bugs actually got mixed up like a dog biting a dog.
The soldiers who witnessed this scene looked at each other in shock. If another giant insect hadn't pounced on them, they would have asked Xiangzi what kind of ecstasy drug he had given to the insects.
Until a bright stream of heat burns through the belly of the giant insect, the bright stream of heat is still burning endlessly in the water. The high temperature makes the lake water next to it boil, and the huge bubbles rise and float to the surface without rolling.
Everyone suddenly realized that the insect had swallowed an incendiary bomb!
On the other side, Xue Ju had just fed the grenade into the mouth of a giant insect when he was hugged by another giant insect. His arms were blocked by the insect's legs and he could not touch the grenade at his waist. His companion's lower back happened to be at hand, so he immediately backhanded him.
He took off the grenade from his comrade's waist and stuffed it into the insect's mouth.
Looking back, I saw that the soldier beside Xue Ju had been hugged by the giant insect, and this insect was different. It hugged the soldier from head to foot, hugging the soldier's thigh, and gnawed at the soldier like a pig's trotters.
alloy boots on feet.
Xue raised his hand back and touched a grenade and was about to help. The soldier had already taken off his 20mm armored gun, put it on the giant insect's butt and fired while shouting: "Let go, let go, let me go."
——”
The armor-piercing bullet penetrated the insect's body, and the first shot blew away the half-brained insect's head. The next few shots completely destroyed the giant insect, and the soldier used his hands and feet to break free from the restraints.
The specially designed armored cannon can fire normally even in water, but its power is greatly reduced. The effective range of the cannonball is less than ten meters, but it is enough to deal with giant insects underwater.
Anyone familiar with weapons knows that the 20mm has left the category of guns and entered the scope of cannons. The military follows the usual naming method and calls this weapon the Type 26 armored gun. However, whether it is a motorized infantry or a marine, it is
The acceptance of this name is not very high, and the soldiers call this thing the 20th Cannon.
The 20 cannon is equipped with a variety of shells. The targets of this mission are mainly aliens. In order to ensure the lethality, Ye Han and others brought armor-piercing shells.
However, the shells used by the 20th Cannon are very obviously different from ordinary shells.
The Marine Corps has made it clear that it is still a type of infantry. Even if it is assisted by the fire control system of powered armor, the combat distance is still very limited. There is no need for the ultra-long effective range of the ordinary 20mm cannon, so the military has made certain adjustments to the artillery shells.
The degree of optimization has shortened the length of the shell and reduced the propellant, so that the 20-gun shell is short and blunt, and looks like an enlarged version of a small-caliber pistol bullet.
There are many benefits to improving ammunition. First, the structural strength of the gun body does not need to be so high, thereby reducing the weight of the 200 gun; secondly, shortening the length of the gun body to avoid the embarrassment of an overly long gun body; thirdly, reducing recoil and improving stability and stability during shooting.
rate of fire; again, reduce the weight of ammunition so that you can carry more ammunition with the same load; finally, shrink the magazine volume.
Think about it, if the 20mm gun uses ordinary 20mm shells, then a magazine is at least two palms wide. With two magazines, half of the front of the torso can be blocked, and it can be used as a bulletproof vest insert.
After the improvement of the artillery shell, the width of the magazine is basically the same as the 12.7mm magazine of the armored rifle, but the thickness is not ideal.
During the design stage of the armored gun, someone once proposed the use of caseless ammunition to further reduce the overall gun quality of the armored gun, but it was rejected by the military due to poor reliability.
Even if the designers wanted to break their heads, they probably would not have imagined that the first actual combat of the armored gun would actually be underwater. If the traditional shell solution had not been adopted, it is hard to say whether the soaked shells would have been able to fire.
Everyone was waking up from a dream, holding rifles in their hands. As long as the giant insect dared to approach, they would immediately put the muzzle of the gun into the insect's mouth and blast it.
It's not that everyone didn't expect it, but everything just happened too fast. From Ye Han giving the order to the first gunshot, the interval was only seven or eight seconds.
After switching to the armored cannon, the unfavorable situation was immediately reversed. The giant insects that rushed towards them were shot down one after another. Ye Han took the opportunity to order the team to fight and retreat.
The strange thing is that after the team retreated for a certain distance, the giant insect didn't catch up like before!
The soldiers were very surprised. Because there was no giant insect nearby, the soldiers stopped shooting in unison. After a few seconds, the water flow disturbed by the bullets gradually subsided, and the stagnant giant insect reconfirmed its target position and chased after it again.
The soldiers waited patiently until the giant insect caught up to them before continuing to fire, causing the giant insect to become confused again.
The bullets flying around disrupted the water flow, and even the giant insects that were not hit by the bullets were in a dilemma because the water flow was too chaotic.
This happened two or three times, leaving everyone confused. They simply retreated and fired while not waiting for the bugs to catch up. Xue Ju was the first to rush to the shore, immediately turned around and grabbed the two shooting soldiers, dragging them away.
Get out of the lake.
The soldiers who came out of the water immediately put away their rifles and helped others ashore.
Everyone scrambled to the shore, sitting or lying down on the shore, and their hearts were filled with the joy of surviving the disaster.
The giant bugs in the lake are not strong, but if they are pulled under the water by the giant bugs, the chance of escaping by relying on personal strength is very low. If the armor runs out of battery, it will be a complete tragedy.
Xue Ju looked at the lake from a distance, and saw the shadows of many insects still rising and falling in the water: "It's weird, why don't the insects dare to come over after shooting? Is it possible...impossible."
"What is difficult or impossible? Can you please speak clearly if you have something to say?" Liu Bin said.
"I want to say, could it be that the bugs thought we were out of bullets..."
"That's impossible." Liu Bin said.
"Don't worry about the bugs." Ye Han got up and looked around, but could only see a blurry outline.
The only light source on the lake was the fluorescent stick, but the fluorescent stick was more than a hundred meters away, and only a small part of the originally dim light reached the shore.
The working principle of full-color night vision equipment is different from that of low-light night vision equipment, so it requires higher ambient light intensity when working. A fluorescent stick that is hundreds of meters away is simply not enough.
