One Thousand One Hundred and Ninety-Three A Mission that Can only Be Given to Elites

Ye Yang was not exaggerating at all. After a few hours, all the open spaces were connected, and a thick concrete wall divided the open space on the west side of the highway into two.

Not only that, the engineers also installed various defense facilities on the wall. There was a firing point every twenty meters, and each firing point had a multi-barrel machine gun. Below the firing point was the ammunition delivery equipment, which could drive the ammunition truck directly under the firing point to supply ammunition for the machine gun on the wall.

This is the ammunition supply method used on warships. As long as the ammunition truck is not empty, it can supply ammunition to the machine gun continuously. Ordinary machine guns cannot withstand the high-intensity shooting of this ammunition supply method. Only multi-barrel machine guns can do it.

In addition to the firing points, there are a large number of shooting positions on the wall. A large amount of ammunition is prepared at each shooting position. All bullets are pressed into the magazine drum, and they can be loaded on the gun and fired.

The distance between the firing points is not chosen casually. Twenty meters is just enough to put down a squad!

Not only are there various firearms on the top of the wall, but there is also a set of flamethrowers on each section of the wall. With one shot, a huge fan with a radius of tens of meters can be found, turning all the insects within the spray range into burning candle heads.

Not only are there various arrangements on the wall, but there are also various means under the wall. There are an average of 2.4 mortars behind each section of the wall. If it weren't for the short time, this number would at least be tripled!

Such a wall is not as solid as a rock, but it is enough for the insects to have a good drink.

Facing such a wall, Ye Han couldn't tell what he felt in his heart.

With it blocking here, let alone the elite airborne division, even if the recruits who had just finished training were pulled up, it would not be a problem to stop the swarm of insects.

However, Ye Han was very skeptical about the role of this wall. Don't the insects know to go south, bypass the high wall defense line, and then go north?

Also, even if the insects don't want to go south, can't they go directly north?

To be honest, Ye Han really doesn't know why the superiors are so confident. Could it be that they have mastered the pheromones of the swarm of insects?

With all the questions in his mind unanswered, Ye Han didn't want to get to the bottom of it. He just followed the orders from his superiors and defended the wall.

However, new questions came up again. Even if it was to deal with the insect swarm, there was no need to waste manpower and material resources to build such a wall, right?

He couldn't figure out the reason, but not long after, he got the answer from Ye Yang.

The situation was actually very simple. After the insect swarm left Asan, it almost went straight east. If it was not stopped, after passing through northern Myanmar, the insect swarm would cross the border and enter Dianzhou, and then use Dianzhou as a springboard to invade Shuzhou and Qianzhou in the north, and threaten Guizhou and Yuezhou in the east. By that time, the entire southwest would be messed up by the insect swarm.

Of course, the military could not turn a blind eye to the entry of the insect swarm, but the military's pursuit and interception would take time and require manpower and material resources. It was hard to say when the insect swarm could be eliminated.

On the contrary, if the swarm is blocked outside the border, it will be different. The north side of the high wall defense line extends to the west side of Dianzhou, where there are mountains with an altitude of about 3,000 meters everywhere. It is the terrain that the worms dislike the most, and the possibility of the swarm crossing the border from there is very low.

But it is different behind the high wall defense line. The altitude there is mostly below 1,000 meters, and the worms can cross the border without much effort.

The high wall defense line just blocks this section of the border. If the swarm goes south and bypasses the southern end of the high wall defense line, it will continue to the east until the seashore is the territory of other countries.

As for whether the swarm will go north after bypassing the high wall defense line, it is not something Ye Yang can control. Ye Han is extremely suspicious whether Beidu has arranged any backup.

However, Ye Yang knows that all rivers near southern Xinjiang are under the control of the military, and strategic nodes such as bridges and dams are key areas of defense. I guess there must be some way to prevent the swarm from entering.

The sky gradually darkened. Before it got dark, the engineers installed a batch of special lamps on the wall. When it got dark, the lights had illuminated the west side of the high wall defense line as bright as day.

According to Beidu's instructions,

the swarm will arrive at the high wall defense line within two hours. After receiving the notification, Ye Han wanted to arrange the troops to go up the wall in advance, but the soldiers were stopped by Ye Yang who rushed over as soon as they took action.

According to Ye Yang, the military has arranged a large number of troops on the high wall defense line, and even the engineers under his command have to go up the wall for defense after the arrival of the swarm.

Hearing what he said, Ye Han felt strange. Since there is a high wall and troops have been arranged, why pull the airborne division over?

Ye Yang continued to talk, and Ye Han understood.

The reason why the airborne division was sent here is that all the troops on the high wall defense line are second-line and third-line troops. Even if a batch of weapons and equipment are urgently supplemented, the military can't avoid various concerns.

Calling the airborne division over, firstly, to be able to suppress the insect swarm at a critical moment, secondly, to boost the morale of the troops on the defense line, and finally and most importantly, to let the airborne division stand in the area with the most insects and act as the backbone.

So the airborne division does not need to go up to the wall for the time being, and must wait until the main attack direction of the insect swarm is determined.

Think about it, it makes sense, the length of the high wall defense line is at least dozens of kilometers, but the first and fourth divisions without full staff can only occupy five kilometers of the wall. Even if the personnel are diluted, one squad guards two sections of the wall, which is only ten kilometers.

The airborne division is indeed an elite force, but no matter how elite the troops are, they will not play a big role in a battle of this scale. The real main force must be a large number of ordinary troops.

Watching Ye Yang leading the troops busying around, Ye Han had a very novel feeling.

He had always led the troops that charged forward, but today was the first time he stayed at the back and idled.

More than an hour later, Beidu finally determined the main attack direction of the insect swarm, and ordered the high wall defense line to be on alert, and also ordered the airborne division to move 12 kilometers north.

Ye Han didn't even have time to say goodbye to Ye Yang, and led the troops to get on the truck heading north.

When the convoy was about to arrive at the destination, Ye Han received a new order, requiring Ye Han to lead the troops to capture several giant insects alive. To be more specific, at least one of each giant insect could be missing arms and legs, but the body could not be damaged.

And one is the minimum, it is better to catch more, ten or eight is not too much.

Seeing this, Ye Han probably understood that Beidu probably didn't understand the situation of this batch of giant insects, and planned to catch some giant insects for research.

This task is indeed not suitable for ordinary troops. Only troops such as the Airborne Division, which often carry out special tasks, have the ability to confront the Zerg head-on and capture a few of them.
