One Hundred and Forty-Three

Whether to promote or not is Long Jianguo's business. Ye Han doesn't care at all. What he cares about is how to wipe out the giant ants.

Ye Han has been dealing with giant ants for more than a month since he first came into contact with giant ants. When it comes to the habits of giant ants, he knows a little better than many biologists. s plan.

His plan is very simple. The giant ants work at sunrise and rest at sunset. Since there are fish that slip through the net when burning ant nests during the day, can't it be done at night?

Ye Han found Long Jianguo to report the new plan, and Long Jianguo immediately expressed his full support and delegated power to Ye Han to take full responsibility.

Now that Long Jianguo became the hands-off shopkeeper, Ye Han unceremoniously took over the command and ordered all the soldiers monitoring the giant ants to withdraw from the train, and everyone returned to the dormitory to rest immediately.

The soldiers didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Ye Han's gourd, but after two consecutive days of giant ants, the soldiers were already exhausted, so they just took this opportunity to take a good rest.

After dinner, the team set off again and found an ant nest with the help of night vision equipment. First, they destroyed the surrounding ant hills one by one, leaving only a dozen or so ant hills near the core area, and then poured them into the ant hill according to the procedure. diesel fuel.

Soon after, artillery fire roared, and the hole filled with diesel oil spewed out flames several meters high like a burning oil well. The fire light dispelled the darkness in a radius of tens of meters, and then the flames gradually shrank into the hole, leaving only billowing smoke slowly rising .

The burning anthills are conspicuously bright green on the night vision screen, and the rising smoke is even greener and whiter.

Ye Han frowned, and said with satisfaction: "Okay, next one!"

The convoy immediately packed up and headed to the next ant nest.

Overnight, Ye Han and his ant extermination team advanced more than 20 kilometers, burning five ant nests in a row, killing countless giant ants, and gnawed hard on the ant-occupied area.

If it wasn't for the exhaustion of the fuel he was carrying, Ye Han would still refuse to order the return trip.

The next day, Ye Han continued to lead his troops to attack, destroying nine ant nests, and pushed the battle line to the depths of the ant-occupied area for more than 30 kilometers, forming a protrusion of more than 30 kilometers wide and more than 40 kilometers deep!

The shape of the ant-occupied area is very irregular, but it is roughly an oval shape with a width of more than 100 kilometers from east to west and a length of nearly 300 kilometers from north to south. This protrusion is just at the waist of the ant-occupied area on the west side!

The significance of this protrusion is not how much land was recovered, but to rescue the fallen Jingjiang in one fell swoop!

At the same time, the friendly forces on other fronts are progressing smoothly. Although they did not advance as fast as Ye Han, they have achieved considerable results.

In the entire ant-occupied area, except that the northern line still adopted suppression tactics and failed to achieve results, all other directions were successful.

The news of the victory was like an earthquake of magnitude 18. It quickly spread across the country. Wherever the radio waves went, the people were all excited. People took to the streets to celebrate the hard-won victory in various ways. The excited people broke through the forbidden The ban on fireworks and firecrackers snapped up the backlog of firecrackers, and the deafening sound of firecrackers was completely non-stop. Even the once stagnant economic index showed signs of recovery.

The news was reported to Beidu, and Beidu immediately rewarded the officers and soldiers who participated in the war, and at the same time issued the highest instruction: no matter the cost, no matter the gain or loss, resolutely eliminate the ant colony!

However, Ye Han and his comrades encountered trouble at this time, and the momentum of triumphant progress came to an abrupt end.

It's not that Ye Han doesn't want to expand the results of the battle, but the environment does not allow him to continue to act.

Jingjiang City is adjacent to the Heishan Mountains in the south, the Xianghai Wetland in the north, and the Jingshui Lake area in the east. They are all places with lush vegetation and excellent natural environment. Only the west side is dominated by sandy land with sparse vegetation. Most of the land is Only some tenacious low plants grow. Although there are some fields, it is almost impossible to find large tracts of good fields.

Looking for trouble from giant ants in this barren land, Ye Han can burn it without any scruples. Anyway, no matter how severe the fire is, there will be no collateral loss. At most, a few shrubs that can't even be named will be roasted to death.

The surroundings of Jingjiang City are different. There are many trees and fertile fields here.

For one thing, Ye Han and his comrades had never gone deep into this area. They lacked understanding of the ant colonies in this area, and couldn't find the exact location of the ant nests, so they couldn't continue to use the decapitation tactic of piercing the heart with one arrow;

Second, the anthill is hidden under the lush vegetation, which is not as clear as before, and it takes a certain amount of time to identify the anthill;

The third and most important point is that the continuous high temperature will burn the organic matter in the soil, and no grass will grow on the overfired ground! The ant nest goes deep into the ground, and the oiling method is simple and rough. In addition to the ant nest, the vicinity of the ant mound will also be affected to a certain extent. The simultaneous burning of the ground and the ground will completely destroy the land near the ant nest. It will take at least a few years to recover. recovered.

The duration and burning temperature of ordinary surface fires cannot be compared with that of diesel oil; shells, bombs, and even thermobaric bombs are powerful, but their duration is short, unlike the method of oil injection, which burns for several hours, which will damage the soil. The damage is naturally much smaller.

Jingjiang is one of the most important grain producing areas in Linzhou Province. People can leave Jingjiang, but the grain that has been planted cannot be moved away. I don’t know how many acres of good-growing fields are waiting to mature.

After finally taking back the land from the giant ants, we can't burn it down to a barren land just for convenience, right?

Ye Han suddenly understood why Long Jianguo let go of power. He dug a hole and waited for him to jump in, but he still jumped so resolutely and actively!

The time has entered the third day of the counter-offensive, and the friendly forces in other directions are still advancing at a leisurely pace, but Ye Han had to temporarily stop his actions, just in time for the cold front to pass through, and the weather suddenly became gloomy and cold, so everyone Moldy nest in the train.

Ye Han was lying on his back on the bed, staring at the gray clouds outside the window through the dim glass window in a daze.

The knock on the door brought back Ye Han's scattered thoughts, and he sat up: "Please come in!"

The veteran opened the door, walked into the box with a smile: "Ye Pai, what do you want?"

Although Ye Han was promoted to lieutenant, his position is still platoon leader, so the soldiers are still called Ye platoon.

"It's nothing, night owls come to the house for nothing, tell me, what do you want me for?" Ye Han pointed to the opposite bed and told the veteran to sit down.

"I'm fine. There's a car coming from the city. Long Ying said it's what you want. Let you take it."

Ye Han was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly came back to his senses, and jumped up: "Great, let's go!"

Now it was the old soldier's turn to be stunned. He looked at Ye Han's leaving back, touched his head, and said to himself suspiciously: "What are you in such a hurry? Could it be a car of women?"

Fortunately, Ye Han didn't hear this sentence, otherwise he would be so angry that he would not wake up in the world.
