Seven Hundred and Seventy-Five Counterattack
After just over ten seconds, the battle was over. The U.S. military killed more than 40 half-insects, but the U.S. military also lost more than 30 people, with the enemy and our casualties ratio close to one to one.
The slightly injured major was furious at the tragic death of the U.S. military, and ordered the troops to destroy the vine forest as a vent.
The U.S. military quickly moved away from the vine forest. More than a dozen armored vehicles opened fire at the same time. The alien vines broke one by one in the explosion, and after landing, they were poured with gasoline and ignited by the U.S. military.
Some gasoline flowed into the water and burned fiercely on the water surface.
From the beginning to the end, the whole process was astonishingly fast. The Chinese convoy was also affected by the battle. Although there were no casualties, the microwave gun on the No. 3 vehicle was lost.
Just when everyone thought the battle was over, there was a new discovery on the radar. The soldier in charge of the radar suddenly shouted: "Captain, there is something in the passage!"
"Where is it?"
"Right in front, the passage we came from!"
"Is it the American reinforcements?" Ye Han guessed.
"It's not an armored vehicle, there are a lot of them, and the formation is dense...
Ye Han was shocked: "Giant ants? Prepare for battle——"
Three microwave cannons were aimed at the passage they came from at the same time. Before the microwave cannons were activated, countless giant ants had already poured out of the passage, including long-legged spider ants and ordinary giant ants. They mixed together, like a tide that overwhelmed everything along the way.
The first vehicle to bear the brunt was overwhelmed by dozens of giant ants. The fragile microwave cannon was the first to be damaged, and other equipment was also in danger of being bitten by the giant ants; the microwave cannon of the No. 2 vehicle was destroyed by the giant ants as soon as it was activated; only the No. 4 vehicle, which was the farthest from the passage, successfully activated the microwave cannon. The high-power microwave immediately enveloped the passage ahead, and the body temperature of the giant ants covered by the microwaves rose rapidly. Death was only a matter of time.
For a long time, the giant ants were afraid of microwave cannons, but these giant ants had no intention of avoiding them at all, but rushed towards the No. 4 vehicle regardless of anything. Car.
If the four microwave guns fired at the same time, forming a crossfire, it would not be a big problem to deal with the giant ants rushing in. But now only Car No. 4 is supporting independently, and it can only take care of the front but not the sides. The soldiers watched the giant ants rushing in from the left and right sides but could do nothing.
At the critical moment, Car No. 2 and Car No. 3 adjusted their gun turrets and fired at both sides of Car No. 4, trying their best to stop the giant ants from climbing.
The U.S. military's infrasonic gun fired in time, and all those exposed felt chest tightness and ran to the armored vehicles like flying.
Several intact capsules suddenly burst in the flames, and it was not known whether it was because of the fire or the infrasonic radiation.
Ye Han in Car No. 1 was shocked and shouted hoarsely: "Back off, back off, leave the passage, and do your best to cover Car No. 4--"
The multinational forces learned from the previous experience. If they were flooded into the cave hall by the ant swarm, The ant colony will definitely spit formic acid at the armored vehicles. Once the formic acid vapor reaches an explosive concentration, both China and the United States may capsize in the ditch.
Therefore, the last microwave cannon must block the passage, blocking as many giant ants as possible, to buy time for the human side to regroup.
Several Chinese vehicles quickly retreated near the US military, and more than a dozen US armored vehicles all aimed their firepower at the passage. The dense sound of gunfire rang out, and countless shells and bullets smashed into the small passage, giving the ant colony a head-on blow.
The giant ants approaching the passage were greeted by microwaves, infrasound waves, and shells and bullets. Their internal organs were shaken by infrasound waves, their body fluids were heated by microwaves, their shells were penetrated by bullets, and their bodies were torn apart by shells...
Under the all-round firepower attack of humans, what poured out of the passage was not giant ants at all, but pieces of broken ant corpses!
The giant ants acted only on instinct. Before they approached the entrance of the passage, the dual effects of microwaves and infrasound made them hesitate. However, the passage behind them was full of giant ants. The giant ants in front had no way to retreat. They were pushed out by their companions behind them. They could not stop even if they died until they reached the exit and were torn apart by artillery fire.
Many giant ants were half dead under the dual effects of microwaves and infrasound before they came into contact with artillery fire. Being torn apart by artillery fire was simply a relief for them.
Each armored vehicle had only about 500 artillery shells in reserve,
which could not withstand long-term high-speed shooting, but facing the surging ant colony, no one dared to relax at all.
So far, the human side has finally stabilized the situation. If the battle continues like this, the human side will definitely be able to hold on for a while, and it is not impossible to defeat the ant colony.
But at this critical moment, the alien hiding in the water once again surfaced, revealing half of its sinister head.
Everyone was fighting against the ant colony, and no one paid attention to the situation behind them. The alien quietly raised his elbow, and several streaks of light flashed by. The American armored vehicle closest to the water surface was torn apart by several streaks of light, and the turret's infrasonic cannon failed. The streaks of light even penetrated the vehicle body. The American soldiers in the vehicle only felt a pain in their bodies, and then their hands and feet suddenly separated from their bodies, and their torsos were also divided into several sections.
Many people did not know what happened until the death came, and they were confused until death.
What's more terrifying is that the human side was doing their best to resist the swarm of insects, and no one noticed that an armored vehicle behind them had misfired.
The aliens followed suit, and the second armored vehicle was also attacked without any preparation, and the American soldiers in the vehicle suffered heavy casualties.
After two armored vehicles stopped firing in succession, the firepower intensity of the human side decreased significantly. This phenomenon attracted the attention of the US military. The US major who inquired about the situation happened to find the streaks of light.
"Aliens--" The major roared hoarsely, and several armored vehicles immediately turned around under the order of the major and fired at the lake with all their strength.
The aliens immediately retreated underwater to avoid human artillery fire.
The lost armored vehicles plus several vehicles that turned around, nearly half of the US military's firepower left the exit of the passage, and the firepower intensity of the human side dropped sharply, with a loss of more than one-third!
The previous passage was like a meat grinder, and only broken ants could be squeezed out slowly, but after the firepower dropped, relatively complete giant ants soon appeared.
Faced with this situation, Ye Han decisively ordered the troops to reduce the frequency of shooting, no longer pouring shells into the hole, but aiming at the giant ants and shooting accurately, saving ammunition as much as possible.
The new Chinese tactics further reduced the firepower blocking the hole, and complete giant ants began to appear at the hole.
It was not until this time that the Americans remembered that there were poisonous smoke bombs on the armored vehicles. With a few light bangs, several poisonous smoke bombs fell near the hole, and the diffused poisonous smoke immediately disabled the African giant ants in the ant colony.
The poisonous smoke had no effect on the spider ants, but the ant colony was a mixture of two types of giant ants, and there were fewer spider ants than giant ants. The death of a large number of giant ants was like a blood clot in the blood vessels, blocking the entire ant colony in the passage and making it unable to move. No matter how hard the giant ants behind tried, it was useless.
The situation was finally fundamentally reversed.
