There was a faint roar in the air, and a group of more than twenty armed helicopters appeared above the Jingjiang River. Farther into the sky, supersonic fighter jets arranged in a diagonal line broke through the high-altitude cold wind, and instantly jumped from above the helicopter group.
pass by.
The fleet of planes flew near Jingjiang River, and the distinctive dull roar of fighter planes resounded throughout the urban area. Everyone raised their heads in unison, looking for the vigorous figure of the fighter planes.
The formation composed of more than a dozen fighter planes did not fly into the sky over the city. Instead, it diverted to the west side of Jingjiang River, lowered its altitude and turned its back on the sun to enter the battlefield.
Ye Han vaguely saw that the bomb mounted under the fuselage was thick and short, so he couldn't help but grab the captain's telescope and pointed the lens at the fighter plane in the sky.
Ye Han's actions startled the captain. He glared dissatisfiedly, but Ye Han exclaimed: "Cluster bomb!"
"What?" The captain grabbed the telescope back and pointed it at the fighter plane to observe it carefully.
At this time, the first fighter plane had already flown to the bombing position, and the four bombs it carried quietly detached from the wings, instantly losing its one-ton load, and the fighter plane suddenly lifted up.
The thick aerial bomb became a free fall, breaking through the air and rushing downwards, but the roar of the falling bomb in the movie could not be heard.
The falling aerial bomb exploded in the air in the blink of an eye, and the densely packed bomblets spread in the air like a goddess scattering flowers, turning into a cloud of falling steel. It was dazzling and dizzying, and it was impossible to count how many bombs fell from the sky.
But in the blink of an eye, hundreds of bomblets fell to the ground at the same time. The south side of the city wall suddenly exploded like a volcano, bursting into a scorching flame. The explosion instantly swallowed up a large area of the ground, and the flames and smoke shot straight into the sky.
All the giant ants in the explosion area were wiped out by the cluster bombs without even thinking of jumping to escape. The giant ants far away from the explosion range were also shaken by the loud noise and strong shock of the explosion, and their buttocks rose upwards like frightened toads.
He stood up and threw aside the giant mantis he was dragging.
The continuous corn field was also damaged by the explosion, and broken corn stalks were scattered in all directions.
The remaining fighter planes dropped bombs one by one in order, and death fireworks covered the ground one after another. There were even a few unlucky giant ants that took off and bumped into the falling bombs. A red fireball suddenly exploded in mid-air, and the explosion caused death.
The explosion is like a domino, and the continuous explosion forms a magnificent cloud of death fire in the air.
When the last aerial bomb landed, the south of Jingjiang City was reduced to scorched earth. There were craters still smoking and fragmented corpses of giant ants everywhere. The pungent smell of gunpowder smoke and the smell of burning ants filled the nostrils.
Although the cluster bombs wiped out a large number of giant ants, many giant ants still escaped. The strange thing is that the bombing has ended. These giant ants are spinning around like headless flies. After taking a few steps, they will start again.
Changing the direction, it seemed as if there was an invisible cage keeping them in place; the two tentacle antennas on the ants' heads were shaking endlessly, as if they were frightened by the bombing.
No one cared about why the giant ants didn't escape quickly, and they were happy to see the chaos of the giant ants. The anti-aircraft machine guns mounted on the wall fired continuously, killing the giant ants one by one. Within a few minutes, everyone was no longer in sight.
Not a single live ant could be found.
The helicopter group flew over the city wall and then over the battlefield with a unique loud noise, until in Ye Han's eyes it was only the size of a walnut, then it dispersed the formation and began to pour firepower on the ground.
The distance is too far, even a telescope cannot see the situation below the helicopter, but there must be many giant ants there, or in other words, the recent artillery fire coverage and aerial strikes have eliminated only a part of the giant ants, and there are more giant ants outside the city.
ant.
However, the soldiers did not expect that much. They only knew that they had won the victory. There was a sudden joy on the city wall. Even Huai Mingyu excitedly reported to Leng Jiang the good news of annihilating the giant ants.
Although the word "annihilate" is used in a harsh way, at the very least it means the complete annihilation of the ant colonies near Jingjiang River.
Leng Jiang was so excited that he almost announced the news, but he was a proven official after all, so he immediately calmed down and considered it carefully.
If the ant colony could be wiped out so easily, wouldn't it be a big joke to evacuate Jingjiang River?
After Leng Jiang inquired about the battle process in detail, he immediately keenly discovered that there was something wrong with Huai Mingyu's report.
The armed helicopter formation is still clearing out the giant ants, so how can it be considered a total annihilation?
Although annihilating some giant ants was a great victory, who knows how many giant ants there are in the mountains that haven't had time to get out?
After thinking about it, Leng Jiang finally decided to release the news, but the news was changed to say that the military had repelled the giant ant attack.
Annihilation and repelling are two completely different concepts. The former is to eliminate giant ants, while the latter is just to repel the attacking giant ants. Such a change seems to obscure the military's achievements, but there are still not many giant ants in the mountains.
What's the difference between annihilating the first wave of giant ants before you have time to step out, and repelling the first attack of giant ants?
Moreover, a short-term victory will not change anything at all. Unless the giant ant's nest in the Black Mountains can be found and the queen is completely eliminated, the giant ants will come to the city again sooner or later.
Leng Jiang considered this over and over again, considering every word in the message. He did not officially make the news public until he was convinced that publishing the news would not mislead the public.
After the news was released to the city, the dangerous situation was immediately stabilized. Residents who had been eager to evacuate returned to their homes. Even residents who had joined the evacuation convoy drove away from the evacuation convoy and returned to their communities.
Some of the returning residents really do not intend to leave, while others see the situation as stable and decide to take their family's accumulated wealth with them.
However, the actions of these people have different meanings in the eyes of different people. Many residents who were wavering and unable to let go of their family business also made the decision to stay. As a result, there was a chaotic retreat not long ago.
It was as if nothing had happened and everyone was in their place.
Leng Jiang misjudged the trust of ordinary people in the military. This was the result he least wanted to see, but it happened uncontrollably before his eyes.
However, it was a blessing in disguise. Leng Jiang immediately changed his strategy and prioritized mobilizing citizens who were willing to leave to evacuate. After this group of citizens had been evacuated, he would then mobilize the wavering citizens, and finally explain the truth to those citizens who insisted on their opinions and refused to leave.
Faced with the severe situation, Jiang evacuated everyone in one fell swoop.
As a result, the time to complete the evacuation plan will definitely be extended, but judging from the previous battle conditions, the giant ants will not be able to break through the military's defense in a short time, and the military is fully capable of buying enough time for the evacuation.
