The environmental monitoring device on the armor sounded a piercing alarm, and the soldier quickly turned off the alarm: "Call 601, tear gas was found in Hotspot No. 3, no other findings, over."
"Continue to monitor."
Nine minutes later, the same report came from Hotspot No. 6.
Then there is hotspot No. 4, hotspot No. 8, hotspot No. 11...
Within twenty minutes, trace amounts of tear gas were detected in all hotspots. In the next twenty minutes, the number of tear gas attempts continued to increase. When the gas content overflowing from the hotspot exceeded the preset maximum value, the soldiers guarding the hotspot
Explosives will be detonated, completely sealing the cave entrance.
An hour later, only the No. 10 hotspot where tear gas was last detected was retained, and all other hotspots were closed.
Hotspot No. 10 is not left as it is, but is covered as necessary to prevent the gas in the hole from escaping.
The reason for this is because it takes time for tear gas to spread. If there is indeed a bug nest under everyone's feet, then the bugs will be driven away by the tear gas and escape from Hotspot No. 1, fleeing in a direction with a lower gas concentration.
First, the wolf worm is most likely to escape from the nest through Hotspot No. 10.
According to the established combat plan, as soon as a wolf is discovered in Hotspot No. 10, the soldiers guarding the hotspot will immediately blow up the hole and sound an alarm. After that, all personnel will evacuate as quickly as possible. After the troops reach a safe area, they will be suspended in outer space orbit.
The battleships on board use ground penetrating bombs or throw meteorites to destroy the insect nest.
The advantage of this solution is that the soldiers do not need to go deep into the insect nest to search for traces of insects, nor do they need to enter the insect nest to plant nuclear bombs.
However, no wolfworm has been found in Hotspot No. 10. Without the most important evidence, it is impossible to prove the existence of an insect nest here.
Ye Han was very puzzled by this. Tear gas was detected in more than a dozen hot spots, indicating that these hot spots belonged to the same cave system and were highly consistent with the characteristics of the insect nest. How could there not be a single insect?
He couldn't help feeling that the method of tear gas was still too low-level. If a group of reconnaissance robots could be sent down, they would definitely be able to get first-hand information about the underground, instead of just guessing like now.
After waiting for a while, there was still no discovery in Hotspot No. 10, and there were no abnormalities in other hotspots. Ye Han had to give up the idea of waiting, ordered the troops to evacuate, and marked Mission Area No. 2 as a key monitoring point.
The tear gas tactic has just been adopted by the military. It is hard to say whether it is effective. If other mission areas using this tactic are not discovered, all previous conclusions will have to be overturned by then, and we will have to find a way to re-examine the results of each mission area.
Condition.
Therefore, mission area No. 2 cannot be marked as safe for the time being.
Just when Ye Han gathered his people and had no time to leave, a meteorite fell from the sky and hit a place not far to the east with a roar.
The power of the impact was no worse than that of a nuclear explosion. A mushroom cloud rose high and was clearly visible within a radius of dozens of miles.
Ye Han suddenly realized something: "601 call Tiangong, please answer when you receive it!"
"Tiangong received it, please tell me."
"Tiangong, was that the meteorite we threw just now? Did the gas tactic work?"
"1101 used gas tactics to confirm the insect nest and the meteorite thrown by the Hanhai."
"601 Got it, it's over!"
After the communication ended, Ye Han first changed the focus of monitoring in the No. 2 mission area to safety, and then shouted on the radio: "601 calls 1101, please answer when you receive it!"
"1101 received, please speak!"
"How about the gas tactic? Is it easy to use?"
"It's very easy to use. As soon as the gas can was thrown down, the wolf came out from the ground and attacked us suddenly."
Ye Han exhaled a long breath: "That's great."
Xiao Yuan felt something was wrong and asked with concern: "601, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, I don't have any bugs here. I just thought the gas tactic didn't work, haha."
"On the contrary, gas tactics are very useful." Xiao Yuan said.
"As long as it works, it's over."
"complete."
Now completely relieved, Ye Han boarded the armored vehicle with a relaxed mood and led the troops to the next mission point.
At noon, Ye Han finally personally verified the effect of tear gas. It only took five minutes for the wolf inhabiting the underground lair in the No. 3 mission area to be forced out of the lair by tear gas. Although the soldiers guarding the hot spot were well prepared,
However, they were still caught off guard by the swarm of insects. If the wolves hadn't been in a hurry to escape and had no intention of attacking people, the two warriors would have had to drink from the mouth of the hateful insects.
After confirming that there was indeed an insect nest underground, Ye Han immediately ordered the soldiers to blow up all hot spots and quickly evacuate the mission area.
Half an hour later, a meteorite made of pure steel fell from the sky, not only completely destroying the insect nest, but also destroying hundreds of acres of surrounding forest.
In one day, eleven teams that went deep into Siberia found a total of seven insect nests, and six more insect nests were found the next day. The situation was excellent.
On the fourth day after entering Siberia, the cross-border troops had completed half of their mission. If this rate continues, the cross-border troops are expected to eradicate all insect nests within a week.
Although the military has always been tight-lipped, the activities of more than a dozen troops in Siberia have attracted strong protests from Maozi, and even issued a tough declaration that he would not hesitate to use force to solve the problem.
The official news from Maozi immediately detonated the domestic media, and then the news released by the media aroused the enthusiasm of the people across the country.
Anyone knows that the northern defense line is the first line of defense against wolves. In the past few years, the country has invested countless manpower and material resources, and tens of thousands of officers and soldiers have died on the northern defense line. In the past two years, countless people have asked,
Since Maozi doesn't care, why not solve the Siberian problem once and for all!
Note that the angry people not only demand the elimination of wolfworms, but also hope that the Northern Capital will solve the Siberian problem - since Maozi doesn't want it, just take this land back.
Beidu also wanted to do this, but just thinking about it made his heart happy.
Although Maozi has been going downhill in recent years, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Maozi is also one of the nuclear powers. If Beidu directly sends troops to occupy Siberia, Maozi will have to fight with Beidu.
On the contrary, the possibility of a negotiated settlement is slightly higher - just a little bit higher. With Maozi's fanatical attitude towards the land, it is simply a fantasy to take back Siberia from Maozi.
Although the armed crossing also touched Maozi's bottom line, it would not immediately trigger a war between the two countries. As long as Maozi was concerned and the foreign affairs department delayed for a few more days, the military could complete the planned plan.
By then, I dare not say that the insect nests will be completely eliminated, at least most of the insect nests will be destroyed. Next year, we can take advantage of the situation to develop ant colonies, allowing giant ants to occupy the original living space of wolf insects, thereby eradicating the living soil of wolf insects.
