One Hundred and Forty-Five Chapters
Ye Han seemed to see the face of the veteran, and calmly persuaded: "Don't worry, these white phosphorus incendiary bombs are all new products that have just left the factory, so they are safe."
The amount of information contained in this sentence is quite large.
One is the origin of this batch of equipment.
There is no white phosphorus incendiary bomb in the equipment sequence of the PLA, but the manufacturing technology of this thing is extremely simple. It only took a few days for the arsenal to produce a batch of qualified products, and according to the actual needs of the troops, it was directly made into a time bomb.
The second is the safety of this batch of equipment.
Anyone who knows weapons and equipment knows that the ammunition that has just left the factory is very safe, even if the box is thrown violently, there will be no accidents.
And those ammunition fuzes that have been guaranteed are all similar to indeterminate bombs. As long as the actions are a little rough, they may explode on the spot for you to see.
Therefore, destroying expired weapons is a very dangerous job. Even if they accidentally drop during transportation, it may cause irreparable consequences.
The veteran was relieved when he heard the words, but he didn't dare to relax his vigilance completely. He repeatedly warned the soldiers to be careful, and then he turned around and asked, "Ye Pai, is it possible to use this thing against ants?"
The structure of the ant hole is complicated, and filling diesel oil cannot guarantee that all the forks will be burned down. Are only a few incendiary bombs more effective than a hole full of diesel oil?
"It should be fine." Ye Han said, "The manufacturer has added high-efficiency insecticides to the combustion agent. Even if they can't be burned, they will be smoked to death. And white phosphorus can be fully burned even in the absence of oxygen, unlike diesel, which has no gas. can be suffocated."
Although I don't know if the ants have a way to deal with diesel oil, Ye Han always feels that the giant ants are likely to block the cave when injecting oil, preventing the further spread of diesel oil.
Every time he thought of this, he would feel that he was nervous, and ants didn't have brains, so how could they take the initiative to block the cave?
But there are some things that don't require a brain, but only the instinct in the genes, such as building bridges, and formic ball floating.
"Insecticide?" Huya blinked and blinked, "Ye Pai, can't we just pour insecticide into the hole? Why don't you take off your pants and put it there?"
"Nonsense, the use of pesticides is restricted, and insecticides are all poisons, so how can you use them as soon as you say they are used?" The veteran couldn't help scolding, "It looks like you have never farmed land."
"I just don't know, so I have to ask!" Huya deliberately imitated the veteran's accent and replied.
The old soldier laughed and scolded: "You brat, if you dare to imitate me, I'll take your skin off!"
Talking and laughing, more than forty minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and the veteran who had been staring at the anthill suddenly shouted on the radio: "Hurry up, look, there is smoke in the hole!"
Everyone's eyes immediately turned to the burrow, and saw wisps of bluish-white smoke gushing out of the burrow. A soldier ant with a huge head looked like an old woman who was about to sink into a wood. Its two forelimbs struggled out of the burrow to hook the anthill. edge.
"Old soldier!" Ye Han roared.
The veteran immediately aimed the machine gun at the anthill knowingly.
But the soldier ant in the cave didn't move, just lying on the edge of the cave without moving.
The veteran had never encountered such a situation before, so he couldn't help hesitating: "Ye Pai, do you still need to fight?"
Ye Han was also a little surprised, he hesitated for a moment and replied: "I don't need it for now, let's take a look first." He wanted to wait a while and evaluate whether the insecticide in the incendiary bomb was as effective as the manufacturer said, so that he could use it according to the The effect determines the next course of action.
A few minutes later, the soldier ants still did not move. Based on Ye Han's knowledge of giant ants, this creature would never stay quietly at the entrance of the cave for such a long time.
He set up his rifle and fired at the soldier ants. The bullet hit the compound eyes of the soldier ants, but the soldier ants did not respond.
He took out another bottle of pheromone and threw it at the soldier ants, but it still had no effect.
Ye Han finally felt relieved: "Not bad, the effect is very good!"
Humans breathe with their lungs,
The air inside and outside the body is exchanged through the nostrils, and when encountering the situation encountered by soldier ants, as long as they poke their heads out of the hole, they can immediately escape to heaven.
Insects such as ants exchange air with the breathing sac in the abdomen. As long as the abdomen is still breathing insecticide in the hole, it is useless to extend the head anywhere.
The first actual battle of the white phosphorus incendiary bomb achieved results far exceeding expectations. From Ye Han himself to the soldiers involved in the operation, they were all very satisfied with the incendiary bomb.
The convoy immediately went to the new ant nest, and reported the situation to the train camp by radio, asking Long Jianguo to send all the remaining soldiers out.
Long Jianguo followed good example, and immediately organized manpower to launch operations. In the subsequent operations, the soldiers under Long Jianguo destroyed fourteen ant nests in one day. Doubling is fine.
Ye Han suddenly discovered that the giant ants, which were a confidant's trouble not long ago, had become an insignificant disease of ringworm and scabies in just a few days, and it was only a matter of time before the giant ants were completely wiped out.
The production of white phosphorus incendiary bombs has just started, and the production is limited in a short period of time. They can only be supplied to troops in areas occupied by ants. Before lighting the fire, the vegetation near the ant nest must be cleaned up to avoid unnecessary fires.
The action of troops with incendiary bombs is much simpler. In just two days, the operation to recover the ant-occupied area was once again a complete success. Ye Han, who has been advancing eastward, even successfully joined forces with a troop from the east of the ant-occupied area .
This means that the military has cut off the ant-occupied area at the middle and officially divided the ant-occupied area into the southern area and the northern area.
Needless to say, the task of the southern district is nothing more than continuing to take the initiative to attack until all the ant colonies are wiped out.
The task of the northern district is still to drive the ant colony northward, but after the ant colony formally came into contact with the locust swarm, the giant ants on the northern line have been actively migrating northward. There is no need for the military to intervene. As long as the giant locusts are well controlled, the giant ants can be effectively contained. Ants spread.
The ant colony in contact with the locust swarm obtained a large amount of food, and the population developed extremely rapidly, and no longer needed the support of the subsequent ant colony. Therefore, the ant colony on the south side of the northern district was also in the process of eliminating the ant colony. District, a plan to divide the North District in two.
The troops from Fuyun were all assigned to the southern area. In order to shorten the supply line, the train camp must be moved forward. However, the hollowing out of the roadbed by giant ants is not an independent event. The armored train is much heavier than ordinary trains. If you drive to the hollowed out railway Above, the only result is overturning on the spot.
To this end, the military mobilized a group of ground-penetrating radars to detect all the railway lines in the ant-occupied area, and found 17 underground cavities where trains could not pass through.
