Seven Hundred and Sixty Six Intermittent Attack
The speed of the US military was not slow either. All troops completed combat equipment within ten minutes. After that, the US commander divided the troops into two. About three-quarters of the troops established a circular defense line around the spider cave. Only one company was ready to enter the spider cave, with less than 200 people at most.
According to Ye Han's idea, 200 people were too many. It was just right for him to lead only a squadron.
However, how many people entered was the Americans' business. Ye Han did not intend to intervene, nor did he have the ability to intervene.
Seeing that the Americans were ready, Ye Han took the initiative to lead the team to approach the cave entrance and prepared to enter the cave as planned. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by a US major at the cave entrance and talked a lot with a very arrogant attitude.
Zhang Ruo, who was accompanying him, had an extremely ugly face and stared at the Americans fiercely without saying a word.
Ye Han immediately realized that something was wrong: "Zhang Ruo, what did he say?"
Zhang Ruo still glared at the US major fiercely: "He said that he cooperated with us because of the orders of his superiors. He doubted our strength and asked us to stand aside and his own troops to go in first."
The attitude of the American officer made Ye Han extremely dissatisfied: "Fuck his grandma, who does he think he is? Zhang Ruo, tell him to say that it was me who said that and ask him to get out of the way immediately, otherwise all the consequences will be borne by the US military!"
Zhang Ruo translated it exactly. The US major said something, and Zhang Ruo turned around and said: "He said he is responsible."
Ye Han laughed angrily: "Well, let's wait on the side. Damn it, this is the first time I have met such a person."
As he said, Ye Han took the troops aside directly. Not only that, he also reported the conflict in time, and the base came forward to negotiate with the US military.
The so-called negotiation is also very simple, which is to explain the uncooperative attitude of the US commander. If there is a problem, don't blame Ye Han.
The reason why the base came forward was to suppress the matter at a certain level. If it was reported to the North Capital and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs came forward to negotiate, it would become a serious diplomatic incident, which would not benefit either side.
After Ye Han led the team to make way, the successful American major immediately ordered a team of American soldiers to enter the cave. However, the leading armored vehicle had to stop as soon as it entered the cave.
About ten meters inside the cave, a charred armored vehicle was parked, blocking the passage tightly. The US military had to withdraw from the cave, drag out the wreckage of the armored vehicle, and re-enter after opening the passage.
At this time, a large number of spider ants emerged from the rainforest. They crawled densely on the ground and surrounded them from all directions.
The US military immediately prepared for battle. At the same time, the space battleships of the international fleet launched another fire attack. The artillery fire from the sky fell into the ant colony, cutting and bursting the flying spider ants.
The armored vehicles that formed the circular defense line also began to shoot, 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 in charge of this direction did not rush to shoot, but activated the secret weapon on the roof, and an invisible sound wave instantly covered the 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 big speaker on the US armored vehicle in surprise.
Ye Han had seen a speaker installed on the US armored vehicle a long time ago. He thought it was an American version of a microwave cannon. Who would have thought that the Americans actually made an infrasound weapon.
Judging from the appearance of that thing, it is estimated that it is also directional like a microwave cannon.
Ye Han can still receive the alarm of the armor inside the circular defense line, and the intensity of the infrasound below can be imagined.
As expected, after the spider ants that broke through the blockade were covered by the infrasound, they were motionless as if their acupoints were pressed. A few seconds later, the firepower from the space battleship corrected the deviation and killed the small group of spider ants.
Ye Han couldn't help but compare the microwave cannon and the infrasonic cannon in his mind, and found that the two weapons have their own characteristics.
The microwave cannon has good lethality, but the main combat method is to drive away. Unless the target is forced into a corner with nowhere to escape, it is difficult to kill the target,
especially a flexible and mobile target like spider ants.
The infrasonic cannon directly acts on the organs and nerves inside the spider ants, and can directly kill the target, but judging from the actual combat performance just now, the working frequency of this weapon of the US military seems to be a bit biased, and the lethality it should have has not been shown at all.
So, in addition to 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. Not long after, one armored vehicle after another was dragged out of the cave, some were charred, some were broken, and some were covered with scars and twisted armor. I don't know how strong the spider ants are to destroy the armored vehicles like this.
The outside of the cave was soon filled with scrapped armored vehicles, which looked quite miserable and sad, but only armored vehicles were dragged out, and no corpses were found.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye. The spider ants that were originally piled up suddenly ran away like the receding tide. The armored vehicles stopped firing first, followed by the space battleships. The defense line was covered with a thick layer of ant corpses, and everywhere was broken spider ant shells, unnamed internal organs, and wantonly splashed insect blood.
"Why did they retreat?" An American soldier asked blankly.
No one answered his question. Although the spider ants took the initiative to evacuate, how could the spider ants take the initiative to evacuate?
Everyone felt heavy in their hearts, always feeling that a huge crisis lurking in the depths of the rainforest could erupt at any time.
Half an hour later, the ant colony appeared again, but this time the attack lasted only ten minutes.
Next, the ant colony appeared at intervals of half an hour to forty minutes, and each attack lasted no more than ten minutes, as if deliberately whetting the appetite of humans.
Each attack of the ant colony was a brief one, which was not the style of giant ants at all. What was their purpose in doing this?
In a blink of an eye, it was one o'clock in the afternoon. The wreckage of the armored vehicle was no longer sent out of the cave, but Ye Han's heart gradually lifted.
In more than an hour, the daily routine rainfall will come. The previous poison smoke bombs were ineffective because of the heavy rain. Are the aliens who command the spider ants planning to use the heavy rain?
However, the infrasonic cannon and poison smoke are not the same thing. The heavy rain can only affect the fire blockade of the space fleet, and there is no obstacle to the infrasound... Could it be that the aliens want to use the heavy rain to launch a large-scale attack by taking advantage of the difficulty of the space battleship to implement the fire blockade?
Apart from this, Ye Han can't think of a more reasonable explanation.
Around two o'clock in the afternoon, dark clouds began to form in the sky, but the spider ants' attack was still not coming. All signs were pointing to a certain possibility, and even the most insensitive person could feel the depression in their hearts.
