760 Active Defense
Liu Bin suddenly interrupted the communication: "How long is a while?"
"More than 20 minutes for round trip, and at most half an hour with airdrop." Zhang Ruo replied, "The two pilots said they had a mission and wanted our people to leave the plane."
"Dream on." Ye Han spit out two words coldly, "Before the transport plane comes back, no one will get the plane... Zhang Ruo, do you know the situation over there in the spider cave?"
"I don't know, I just know that the fight is very intense."
"It would be strange if it wasn't intense." Ye Han frowned, "Zhang Ruo, stay online."
"Yes!"
Ye Han switched the communication frequency band: "671 calling 451, please reply if you get it!" 671 is his new code name after being transferred to the task force, and 451 is the code name of the temporary fleet stationed in Africa by Beiyuezhou. These two code names are only valid in ground-to-air communications in Africa.
"451 received, 671 please speak!"
"I want to see the spider cave, right away!"
"It will be there soon, please receive it!"
Ye Han immediately received the video data from the space battleship and found the open space outside the spider cave on the satellite screen. The open space was full of spider ants, and the number was simply impossible to count. Several armored vehicles were overwhelmed by spider ants. I don't know what happened to the people in the armored vehicles.
The situation in the spider cave is naturally invisible, but you can see the shells exploding from time to time in the cave. The surviving multinational soldiers must have retreated into the spider cave and built an external defense line at the entrance of the cave.
Ye Han's mind moved, and the map moved down to the sky above Morrobida, and then he saw that the area near the airport was covered with countless spider ants, much more than the giant ants that besieged the airport a while ago.
The situation is not good!
"451, help me find a plane!"
"What plane?"
"Transport plane, from the airport to the spider cave... No, look at the entire Morrobida!"
"Wait... It's marked!"
Several light spots with arrows appeared on the map in front of Ye Han. The light spots were near the spider cave, and the arrows pointed to Morrobida Airport.
Ye Han was relieved immediately. As long as the plane came back, it would be fine.
He made up his mind that as soon as the plane landed, he would immediately seize a plane and not let anyone out. He would take off and return to Djibouti immediately.
The group of people sent out finally found the airport ground staff and began to refuel the helicopter.
The two pilots kept asking Ye Han to return the plane, but Ye Han remained unmoved. They were so angry that they just left and didn't know who to complain to.
Thomas and Constantine were both trapped in the spider cave, and Ye Han was really not afraid of this.
After a while, the two pilots found the person in charge of the airport, but the spider ants were attacking so fast that he had no time to deal with the dispute between the pilots and Ye Han. He just told them to wait a little longer.
Time passed by in the anxious waiting, and ten minutes seemed as long as ten years. The small bright spot representing the plane on the electronic map finally overlapped with Morobida, and Ye Han seemed to hear the low hum of the engine from the northern sky.
Not long after, several transport planes covered with sunset arrived at the airport. One of them broke away from the formation and aimed at the runway, ready to land.
Ye Han rubbed his hands and ordered the soldiers to prepare to grab the plane.
Everything was developing in the ideal direction. Ye Han was looking up at the slowing plane, and the dense gunfire suddenly weakened a lot.
He instinctively turned his head and looked back, and was surprised to find that several machine gun towers on the east side of the airport defense line had stopped firing, leaving only the rapid-fire guns behind the defense line.
But the rapid-fire guns only lasted a few seconds longer than the machine guns.
A truck stopped behind that section of the defense line, and several American soldiers were nervously carrying ammunition. It was obvious that the ammunition supply was not timely, and the machine gun tower and rapid-fire cannon had run out of ammunition.
The spider ants attacking this direction were like chicken blood, and the front immediately moved forward a long way.
The fire support from space immediately moved here, and lasers swept back and forth at the gap, cutting the spider ants on the ground. For a while, it was unknown how many spider ants died outside the gap.
However, there were too many spider ants and they were too fast. The firepower of the space fleet alone could not stop them at all. In just a few seconds, hundreds of giant ants had crossed the laser blockade and were about to cross the defense line.
The American soldiers rushed to the machine gun tower in a hurry, trying to reload the machine gun tower, but the ant colony had already rushed outside the defense line and was about to overwhelm the defense line. Reloading had become an impossible task.
Ye Han seemed to have a thunderclap in his mind: "Follow me!" After saying that, he rushed to the gap with a gun.
The soldiers didn't understand, but everyone responded to the order immediately and rushed to the gap with their weapons.
A distance of dozens of meters passed in an instant. Ye Han was still 20 to 30 meters away from the defense line, and he raised his armored rifle and fired at full force - the 12.7mm armored rifle was the standard preparation for this mission, but everyone's guns were loaded with special dart bullets with amazing penetration, which could not only penetrate the giant ant's shell, but also roll and explode inside the giant insect, bringing the lethality to the extreme!
This kind of bullet is also a new thing that began to be equipped to the troops after the Siberia operation. It is said that because the armored gun has a large caliber and too little ammunition, it is not conducive to continuous firepower. After equipping the armored rifle with new ammunition, it is enough to penetrate the shell of most giant insects.
The military has developed far more special sub-munitions than this one. Ye Han has even heard of guided bullets, but there is no sign of other types of ammunition being equipped to the troops.
Ye Han emptied the magazine in one go, and thirty rounds of darts hit more than a dozen spider ants, but this loss was nothing to the ant colony.
Ye Han put on a new magazine at the speed of flying. At this time, Liu Bin rushed to the vicinity with several soldiers. One of the soldiers set up a grenade launcher and fired continuously.
A series of 35mm grenades hit the open space outside the defense line one by one. Hundreds of steel balls flew out of the exploding grenades, mowing down a large area of approaching spider ants.
Ye Han's second magazine had just been loaded, and others arrived one after another. The weapons in everyone's hands fired at the same time, resisting the wave of the spider ants' charge.
The last few soldiers finally arrived. Each of them was carrying a very large and heavy box... It was a new type of flamethrower that only motorized infantry could carry.
After these soldiers arrived at the edge of the field, they kept running and ran forward a few steps. They stopped only ten meters away from the defense line. Then they picked up the spray guns in their hands, and four fire dragons spurted out. In just an instant, the flames ignited the charging insect waves. Countless spider ants were scurrying around in the fire, but the burning oil all over their bodies had already sentenced them to death.
The spider ants' wave-like charge was temporarily blocked by the fire. The spider ants behind were afraid of the blazing flames and hesitated to move forward.
