One Thousand and Fifty-Eight Sneak Attacks (2)
At the critical moment, the sniper gun fired again, and this time it finally blasted open the relatively weak abdominal armor, and opened a hole in the giant insect's belly that was only slightly larger than a fist.
A clever demolitionist immediately raised the grenade launcher and shot the grenade into the giant insect's belly with one shot. Then the grenade exploded in the giant insect's belly, but it didn't burst the giant insect's belly. Only a sticky dark brown slurry jumped out of the hole in the belly.
The giant insect's shell is very strong, but its internal organs are definitely not as strong as the shell. Even if it didn't die after being hit by a grenade, it wouldn't be much better.
Everyone is a veteran who has dealt with giant insects for many years. They all know that the giant insect's vitality is extremely tenacious. Even a dying giant insect is very dangerous, so no one approaches the giant insect, but just turns the muzzle to shoot at the enemy.
The situation has just stabilized, and the wall on the right side of the north passage repeated the previous scene. A giant insect broke through the wall, and groups of aliens rushed in behind the giant insect's buttocks.
With the previous lesson, the Italian army on the right had long been away from the wall. After seeing the giant insect, they were filled with new hatred and old grudges. They immediately used the rifles in their hands to make the strongest sound at the giant insect and the enemy.
The Chinese troops also immediately joined the battle, and several explosive packs were thrown behind the giant insect at the same time, preparing to repeat the previous tactics and overturn the giant insect again.
The aliens were not unprepared. After seeing the explosive packs, they immediately concentrated their fire and shot. At least dozens of silk lights hit the explosive packs and pierced them again and again.
No one knew what the aliens meant. Anyway, the explosive packs were not broken by the silk lights. The fuse of one of the explosive packs was lucky to escape and was not hit by the silk lights. So the explosive pack exploded after it fell, not only overturning the giant insect and the aliens, but also collapsing the hole that had just been dug in the wall.
The power of the explosion was a bit unexpected. The human soldiers who were closer were blown down by the shock wave. The overturned giant insect rolled several times before falling down, but it was not belly up.
The soldiers nearby were startled and quickly stepped back to stay away from the dangerous insect. However, after the giant insect landed, it struggled a few times and stopped moving.
The situation was a bit strange. Everyone couldn't believe that the insect was really dead. A soldier suddenly had an idea and took off the individual rocket launcher on his back and fired at the giant insect. The armor-piercing incendiary bullet easily penetrated the giant insect, but the giant insect still didn't respond at all.
It was not until then that everyone came to their senses. This was the explosion that killed it!
Most people who are not familiar with the battlefield think that the power of the explosion lies in the shrapnel. In fact, the shock wave is also dangerous. There are many examples of people hiding in the bunker to avoid shrapnel but being killed by the explosion.
The most well-known one among Chinese people is the conscienceless cannon in the Huaihai Campaign. Its original name is the explosive projectile tube, also known as the flying thunder cannon. Because the ammunition is a watermelon-sized explosive pack, the enemy within dozens of meters will be shocked to death by the explosion. Therefore, the Guo army is afraid and afraid to call it the conscienceless cannon, but not many people know its real name.
It must be pointed out that this thing is not like in the movie, where you can fire by just putting a gasoline barrel on the ground. Instead, you must bury the gasoline barrel in the soil and tamp the soil. The soil layer must withstand the chamber pressure during the launch to successfully launch it, otherwise you will have to wait for the chamber to explode.
However, even if you think it through, it still surprises many people that such a big giant insect can be shocked to death. Many people have an idea that maybe the giant insect just now was also shocked to death.
The alien attack was crushed again, but everyone's heart was hanging in the air and couldn't be put down. Everyone's eyes were staring at the wall vigilantly, as if the enemy could penetrate the wall at any time.
The actual situation is not much different. The only question is which direction the enemy will choose next time.
The Italian army saw the combat effectiveness of the Chinese troops and quickly withdrew the troops they had separated, and put forward new requirements to Ye Han, hoping that the Chinese side would take care of more directions.
The situation was urgent, and Ye Han was in no mood to argue with the Italian army, so he agreed directly.
According to the intelligence provided by the multinational fleet,
the Italian army should have a whole brigade, and there is a brigadier general in the Italian army, which is also consistent with the content of the intelligence. But the Italian army is only a little more than a battalion at most.
Ye Han didn't know what the Italian army had encountered, but it was sure that it would suffer huge losses. If the reinforcements hadn't arrived, they would definitely be able to hold on for a while under the pressure of survival, but now that the reinforcements had arrived, the breath in the Italian heart must have been lost a lot, and how much combat effectiveness was left was really worrying.
If he didn't take on more responsibility, Ye Han was afraid that the Italian army would not want to fight, and it would be bad if the enemy broke through the defense line.
After killing the second giant insect, the soldiers immediately realized that the rocket launcher could be used to deal with the giant insect. All the soldiers who carried the rocket launcher took it off and carried it on their shoulders, waiting for the enemy to attack again.
However, two consecutive failures have made the aliens realize that the wall-digging tactic is difficult to succeed. Not only did they give up digging the wall, but they also withdrew the attacking troops in each channel. This round of confrontation officially ended.
The battle was temporarily suspended, but the soldiers were not idle. They took the time to replenish ammunition and repair the bunker. Several soldiers had an idea and put the giant insect's body at the entrance of the cave, and immediately there were two extremely solid bunkers.
Ye Han also called Luo Qi and Ouyang Ping to his side. The three of them discussed a few words. Not only did they arrange a line of defense outside each cave entrance, but they also arranged a group of people to watch the ceiling.
No one stipulated that the aliens must dig the wall. If they dug it up, the problem would be serious.
After arranging the defense, Ye Han very cautiously placed two mechanical spiders into the north passage.
The spiders entered the passage smoothly, but were destroyed by the enemy before they went far, and only a few pictures were sent back.
The negative eight passage on the screen was full of aliens, who stared at the direction of the cave hall with ferocious eyes and might launch another round of attack at any time.
It was not Ye Han's habit to passively take a beating. He immediately ordered Luo Qi to gather people and set up two assault teams.
Each assault team had only three people, still with machine guns as the core, quietly approaching the passage entrance from the left and right sides of the north passage, and after reaching the attack position, they simultaneously fired at the machine guns inserted into the cave entrance.
Ye Han did not expect the counterattack to do anything to the enemy, nor did he expect to break through the enemy's blockade. His only goal was to disrupt the enemy's offensive rhythm and seize the initiative on the battlefield.
His plan was indeed successful. The sudden attack of the assault team killed many aliens, and the furious enemy immediately launched another round of attack.
This round of attack was not well prepared and was undoubtedly repelled by the defenders, and the two sides fell into a stalemate again.
