921 A Hard-Fought Victory

Half an hour later, the last task force evacuated, and 23 more green-marked blasting points appeared on the map of southern South America. In just half an hour, 23 blasting points with nuclear bombs successfully placed had been reached, exceeding one-third of the total number in the plan!

When the plan was made, the problem of placement failure had been considered. Not to mention one-third success, even if only one-quarter was successful, it would meet the minimum standard of the plan.

On the afternoon of November 21, 2028, local time, at the command of the Joint Command, more than 60 nuclear bombs placed at 23 blasting points were detonated at the same time. All blasting points collapsed instantly, and strong shock waves immediately spread in all directions. Soon after, seismic networks around the world successively detected shock waves from South America.

The lowest magnitude was 7.3 and the highest was 8.5. All areas south of the Tropic of Capricorn in South America were within the earthquake range!

According to the plan of the Joint Command, the highest magnitude should be controlled below 8. It is analyzed that the extra 0.5 magnitude comes from the superposition of shock waves.

After the earthquake, the swarm of insects hiding underground rushed to the ground frantically, and the number of giant insects on the surface increased more than tenfold in a very short period of time.

The space fleet was busy now, and all kinds of artillery fire were used together, repeatedly covering the swarm of insects with dense firepower, and dozens of nuclear bombs were thrown out in one breath. .

At this time, the earthquake was not over yet, and the swarm of insects had nowhere to hide, and they suffered heavy losses immediately.

According to subsequent statistics, only one firepower coverage killed 30%. Although the subsequent coverage did not achieve such good results, all the results added together, the continuous air strikes at least annihilated 70% of the giant insects!

Due to the continuous firepower coverage, especially the large-scale use of nuclear bombs, the entire insect-occupied area was in a mess. It was not until two hours later that the South American coalition forces, which had long been prepared for the march, went to the battlefield one after another. The land and air coalition forces advanced hundreds of kilometers in one breath, clearing out the remaining giant insects on the ground, and the ground swarms were wiped out.

This battle was the most annihilated battle of giant insects in the South American battlefield by human beings, and it was also the turning point for the complete decline of the entire South American insect swarm.

Not only did the ground insect swarm suffer a serious blow, but the insects that did not have time to crawl out were not much better.

Aerial monitoring found that 21 seconds after the nuclear explosion, the first ground collapse occurred in the earthquake zone, and the second one appeared 13 seconds later. Then, every once in a while, there would be a collapse of a larger or smaller size. Within half an hour, the entire earthquake zone collapsed more than 100 times.

Analysis shows that under normal circumstances, earthquakes will never cause so many collapses. The reason for this result is that the insect swarm has hollowed out the ground, and each collapse is a collapsed insect nest.

The collapsed insect nest must have buried a lot of insects, but the insect swarm was originally evolved from ants. They are naturally masters of digging holes, and burying them may not kill the insects.

In order to eliminate the insect swarm as much as possible, the space fleet launched nuclear bombs at all pits. The nuclear bombs dropped from the sky went straight into the bottom of the pit. Hundreds of consecutive nuclear explosions caused a wave of small-scale earthquakes of about magnitude 6.

However, everyone knew that nuclear explosions were powerless against underground targets, and the coalition forces did not expect the collapse to do anything to the bugs. They only hoped that the aliens would be buried underground, and that they would never crawl out again after being buried.

Due to the insufficient magnitude of the earthquake, the earthquake zone failed to cover the bug-occupied area. Many people were not optimistic about this action, but with the idea of ​​trying their best, no one stood up to oppose it.

Even if the aliens could not be buried alive, it would be fine to make them realize the danger underground and force them to the surface!

Although the idea was good, the aliens never showed up from beginning to end, which aroused the vigilance of the South American coalition forces. In order to prevent the resurgence of the bug swarm, the coalition forces fully monitored the South American bug-occupied area from four aspects: sea, land, air and space.

Then, there was nothing else.

The giant bugs remaining on the surface suffered heavy losses in the comprehensive encirclement and suppression by humans, and they were getting worse day by day. It was only a matter of time before they were completely wiped out.

The underground bug swarm launched several small-scale counterattacks, but each time they were bombed into slag by the space fleet before they came into contact with the ground troops.

A few days later, there was no giant insect in the whole of South America, not even one giant insect that did not belong to the swarm. No matter how you look at it, the anti-insect situation in South America has achieved a fundamental reversal.

However, the coalition forces did not dare to take it lightly and still maintained a posture of strict defense. However, after more than ten days of calm, the South American swarm and the aliens occupying South America seemed to have been killed.

This was a very unexpected result for the coalition forces. Many people did not dare to believe it at all, so they waited for more than a week, but still did not find any signs of recurrence. The coalition forces finally put down their hearts hanging in the air, and the coalition forces stationed in South America began to withdraw one after another. In just over ten days, the millions of South American troops were quickly reduced to 200,000.

Although the number of people is not large, they are all rapid response forces. With the reasonable distribution of garrisons and the assistance of the space fleet, 200,000 people are fully capable of controlling the entire South America.

Unless the swarm suddenly breaks out on a large scale.

Some of the troops leaving South America returned to China, and some rushed to Africa.

The coalition forces wanted to carry out an earthquake operation in Africa, but the entire Africa, except for the Sahara, was controlled by the Zerg, and there was no way to replicate the success in America. In the short term, humans could not see the hope of defeating the Zerg in Africa.

However, a combat plan against the Zerg in Africa was also being planned. The core content of this plan was to advance step by step steadily, concentrate troops from the north, and squeeze the Zerg's living space all the way south.

In order to deal with the insect nest, the coalition forces have also thought of many ways. The simplest one is to detonate a nuclear bomb in the insect nest; water can also be poured into the insect nest near the water source; it is even simpler near the sea, just divert seawater.

Some people even studied the situation in Africa and believed that all the insect nests are located below sea level, and seawater can be diverted back to Africa...

It is a very imaginative plan, but it is too whimsical. The coalition forces would rather use asteroids to hit the African continent than use seawater to turn most of Africa into saline-alkali land.

In addition to military force, countries are also actively seeking assistance from the resistance organization, hoping that the resistance organization can provide a batch of biochemical viruses against giant insects.

This proposal has been mentioned before, but the resistance organization did not agree for various reasons. This time the resistance organization finally gave in, but required humans to provide living giant insects, otherwise it would be difficult to provide viruses specifically targeting a certain species.

In order to get the virus as soon as possible, the delegation hoped that the resistance organization would send several biochemical technology experts to Beiyuezhou to study and manufacture on the spot, but unfortunately it was rejected by the resistance organization.

In desperation, the coalition forces had to order the troops stationed in Africa to conduct a hunting operation, and captured dozens of giant insects alive, and then sent them into space as soon as possible, sending them to Jupiter's moon zero at the fastest speed.
