The U.S. military was not slow either. All troops completed combat equipment within ten minutes. After that, the U.S. commander divided the troops into two. About three-quarters of the troops established a circular defense line around the spider cave. Only one of them was ready to enter the spider cave.
The company was full of less than 200 people.
According to Ye Han's opinion, there were more than 200 people, so it would be just right for him to lead only one squadron like this.
However, it was up to the Yankees to decide how many people to bring in. Ye Han had no intention of interfering, nor did he have the ability to do so.
Seeing that the Americans were well prepared, Ye Han took the initiative to lead the team close to the cave entrance, preparing to enter the cave as the first batch as planned. However, he was stopped by a U.S. Army major at the entrance of the cave, who pointed fingers and made a lot of remarks in a very arrogant manner.
Zhang Ruo, who was accompanying him, had an extremely ugly expression on his face and glared at the Yankee fiercely without saying a word.
Ye Han immediately realized something was wrong: "Zhang Ruo, what did he say?"
Zhang Ruo still glared fiercely at the American major: "He said that he cooperated with us because of orders from his superiors. He doubted our strength and asked us to step aside while his own troops went in first."
The attitude of the US officer made Ye Han extremely dissatisfied: "Damn it, grandma, who does he think he is? Zhang Ruo, tell him, just say it was me who said it, and ask him to get out of the way immediately, otherwise the US military will be responsible for all the consequences!"
Zhang Ruo translated it accurately. The U.S. Army major said something. Zhang Ruo turned around and said, "He said he was responsible."
Ye Han laughed angrily: "Okay, let's just wait by the side. Damn it, this is the first time I've met such a person."
True to his word, Ye Han directly took the troops aside. Not only that, he also reported the conflict in a timely manner, and the base came forward to negotiate with the US military.
The so-called negotiation is also very simple. It means to explain the uncooperative attitude of the US military commander. If there is a problem, don't blame Ye Han.
The reason why the base came forward was to suppress this matter at a certain level. If the Ministry of Foreign Affairs came to negotiate in Beidu, it would become a serious diplomatic incident and would be of no benefit to both parties.
After Ye Han led the team to get out of the way, the American major who had succeeded immediately ordered a group of American soldiers to enter the hole. However, the leading armored vehicle had to stop as soon as it entered the hole.
A charred armored vehicle parked about ten meters inside the cave, blocking the passage tightly. The US military had to exit the cave, drag out the remains of the armored vehicle, open the passage and re-enter.
At this time, a large number of spider ants emerged from the rain forest. They crawled densely all over the ground and surrounded them from all directions.
The U.S. military immediately prepared for battle. At the same time, the space battleships of the International Fleet launched another rapid fire attack. The artillery fire falling from the sky fell into the ant colony, cutting and exploding the flying spider ants.
The armored vehicles that formed the circular defense line also started shooting, killing the spider ants that broke through the fire blockade one by one.
The fire blockade on the east side of the defense line suddenly shifted significantly. Hundreds of spider ants broke through the blockade. The armored vehicle responsible for this direction did not rush to shoot, but activated the secret weapon on the roof, and an invisible sound wave instantly covered it.
Ant colony.
Ye Han's armor suddenly sounded an alarm, and the system showed that the armor detected high-intensity infrasound waves.
He couldn't help but widen his eyes and looked at the loudspeaker on the US armored vehicle in surprise.
Ye Han had long seen a loudspeaker installed on a US military armored vehicle. He thought it was an American version of a microwave cannon, but he never thought that the Americans had actually developed an infrasonic weapon.
Judging from the appearance of that thing, it is probably like a microwave cannon, firing in a directional manner.
Ye Han could still receive the armor's alarm inside the circular defense line. One can imagine the intensity of the infrasound waves below.
As expected, after the spider ants that broke through the blockade were covered by the infrasound waves, each one remained motionless as if they had been clicked. A few seconds later, the firepower from the space battleship was corrected and deflected, and all the small group of spider ants were wiped out.
Get rid of it.
Ye Han couldn't help but compare the microwave cannon and the infrasonic cannon in his mind, and found that these two weapons had their own characteristics.
The lethality of the microwave cannon is good, but the main method of combat is to drive away. Unless the target is forced into a corner with nowhere to escape, it will be difficult to kill the target, especially a flexible target like a spider ant.
The infrasonic cannon directly acts on the internal organs and nerves of the spider ants, and can kill the target directly. However, judging from the actual combat performance just now, the working frequency of this weapon of the US military seems to be somewhat deviated, and the expected lethality is simply not there.
show out.
So, besides these two weapons, are there any other things suitable for dealing with giant ants?
While thinking, a company of American soldiers had all entered the spider cave. After a while, armored vehicles were dragged out of the cave one after another. Some were burnt, some were broken, and some were covered with scars and the armor was twisted. I don’t know what spiders were doing.
How powerful are ants? They can actually destroy an armored vehicle like this.
The outside of the cave was soon filled with scrapped armored vehicles, which looked quite miserable. However, only armored vehicles were pulled out, and not a single body was found.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye. The spider ants that had been piled up in layers suddenly ran away like sea water at low tide. The armored vehicles ceased fire first, and then the space battleships ceased fire. The defense line was covered with a thick layer of ant corpses, and there were debris everywhere.
The cracked spider ant carapace, the unnamed internal organs and the wanton blood of insects.
"Why did they retreat?" an American soldier asked blankly.
No one answered his question. Although the spider ants evacuated voluntarily, how could the spider ants evacuate voluntarily?
Everyone's heart is heavy, and they always feel that there is a huge crisis hidden deep in the rainforest that may erupt at any time.
Half an hour later, the ant colony appeared again, but this time the attack lasted only ten minutes.
Next, ant colonies appeared at intervals ranging from half an hour to forty minutes, and each attack lasted no more than ten minutes, as if they were deliberately trying to whet the appetite of humans.
Every attack of the ant colony is superficial. This is not the style of giant ants at all. What is their purpose in doing this?
In the blink of an eye, it was one o'clock in the afternoon, and the cave was no longer sending armored vehicle wreckage out, but Ye Han's heart gradually grew stronger.
In more than an hour at most, the daily routine rain will come. The poisonous smoke bombs were ineffective due to heavy rain. Are the aliens who command the spider ants planning to rain heavy rain?
However, infrasonic cannons and poisonous smoke are not the same thing. Heavy rain can only affect the fire blockade of the space fleet, and has no hindrance to infrasound waves... Do aliens want to use the heavy rain to launch a large-scale attack by taking advantage of the difficulty of space battleships to implement fire blockade?
?
Other than that, Ye Han couldn't think of a more reasonable explanation.
It was around two o'clock in the afternoon, and the dark clouds in the sky were gradually forming, but the attack of the spider ants had not yet arrived. All signs pointed to a certain possibility, and even the dullest person could feel the depression in his heart.
