One Thousand Four Hundred and Sixty-Three Dusk on a Lonely Island
The west coast of Buha Island.
Layers of bays surge onto the beach, and the coconut trees scattered along the coast sway gently in the sea breeze. Under the slanting sunset, the golden-red light covers the beach and the woods with a layer of golden red.
At the end of the beach, a tall sentry tower stands on the rugged reef. The fully armed sentry looks down from above, looking around with vigilant eyes.
At 18 o'clock, the foreman led the sentry who was changing shifts to the sentry tower. The two sentries saluted each other and then changed shifts. The sentry who was leaving the post followed the foreman and walked down the sentry tower step by step.
It was past mealtime at this time. The two hungry sentries went straight to the cafeteria, received their own sentry meals, sat together, and ate without saying a word.
Nothing can comfort a hungry stomach better than a delicious meal. In this situation, the soldiers can expect far less than in peacetime. Having a full stomach is the original intention of many people to join the army.
Just after eating a few bites, a piercing alarm suddenly rang through the sky. The two people stopped eating abruptly. Before they could figure out what was going on, a crisp gunshot suddenly came from the alarm.
Something is happening!
The gunshot was an order. The two people no longer cared about eating. They put on their helmets, picked up their rifles and ran.
Rushing out of the cafeteria, the gunshot suddenly became clear. Listening to the direction, the sound was actually coming from the sentry tower.
Both of them were a little confused. Everything was normal when they just left. How could the gun go off in just a few minutes?
And the gunshot was very intense. It was definitely not an accidental discharge.
The two looked at each other and ran towards the sentry tower.
At the same time, the fully armed soldiers rushed out of the dormitory like flying. After identifying the direction of the gunshot, they rushed to their respective positions without any prior agreement.
Although there was no public information yet, everyone knew that the aliens must be coming... giant insects, insect men or servants under their command.
It's not that the soldiers foresaw the future, but that this unit has been stationed on Buha Island for two years. The giant insects and insect people controlled by the aliens come to harass every now and then, and occasionally there are large troops coming to attack. During this period, the soldiers have fought with the enemy countless times and have long been accustomed to the days of fighting with the enemy at every turn.
Fortunately, the island defense troops not only have sufficient ammunition, but also complete reinforced concrete fortifications. Regardless of giant insects or insect people, the possibility of breaking through the defense line of the defenders is infinitely close to zero.
However, this situation has changed not long ago. The figures of servants appeared among the insect swarms and insect people who participated in the attack. Fortunately, the number of servants is not large, and the servants who appeared on the battlefield soon became a record in the credit book.
However, as time goes by, more and more servants appear on the battlefield. Analysis believes that this is likely that the aliens who landed have gained a foothold and are mass-producing servants.
This is not a good phenomenon.
Moreover, the appearance of servants on Buha Island is not an isolated case. In the same period of time, the figures of servants appeared on tropical islands that still belong to humans.
This phenomenon immediately attracted great attention from the upper echelons. The aliens didn't bomb the thorns early or late, but had to bomb the thorns when the Turkish fleet flew over. This was to pave the way for the Turkish fleet to land!
But what can we do if we know? To this day, humans still don't know where the aliens' nest is. Unless the aliens take the initiative to stand up, there is nothing they can do about the aliens.
Fortunately, it is January now, the coldest season in the northern hemisphere. Whether it is giant insects or insect people, they are all active in the tropics, and the impact on the country is minimal.
Perhaps the aliens also know that the severe cold in the north is not suitable for giant insects and insect people, so they focus on the southern hemisphere. In just a few months, most of the islands in the southern hemisphere and the tropics have fallen into the hands of aliens. Now Buha Island is one of the front lines of defense against the swarm of insects, and it is also one of the important strategic nodes that the military must hold on to.
The scale of the swarm's attack today is far greater than before. Before the soldiers entered the position, they saw that the beach in the distance was densely packed with giant insects, and they were rushing towards the coastal defense line in groups with their insect legs spread out.
There is a 1,200-meter buffer zone between the position and the beach. Although the soldiers moved very quickly, when the soldiers entered the position, the swarm of insects rushed onto the beach for more than 600 meters, and another 500 meters would rush into the position.
The distance was still a bit far, and the soldiers did not rush to open fire, but quickly set up rifles and machine guns, and everyone was ready.
Only the sniper opened fire immediately, but their target was not ordinary giant insects, nor the insect people mixed in the insect swarm, but the few servants.
Giant insects and insect people fight entirely on instinct, and only the servants have weapons. They pose the greatest threat to the defenders and must be eliminated first... According to the military tradition, each combat squad has a sniper. As long as the servants show up, they can't escape and get a peanut.
They have to fight. Giant insects and insect people basically can't fly, but the servants have a pair of wings. Who else can they fight if not the servants?
In fact, in addition to snipers, other people's weapons can also eliminate the servants, but the defenders have a plan for this situation, and no one except the snipers fired.
The swarm charged at a very fast speed. In just a few seconds, they had crossed the 400-meter line.
At this moment, the swarm's feet suddenly exploded, and the powerful explosion lifted the giant insects near the explosion point into the sky. Many giant insects were blown to pieces when they flew up... This is a high-explosive anti-insect mine!
In other places, a large area was blown up, and countless steel balls instantly penetrated the giant insects, turning them all into blood gourds - this is an anti-giant insect directional mine.
The soldiers witnessed this scene, but no one was surprised, and no one jumped up to cheer.
It's not that they are unhappy about destroying the enemy, but everyone knows that there is a minefield 400 meters in front of the position!
And the buried mines are specially made anti-insect mines, which are strengthened according to the characteristics of the giant insect's thick shell. As long as the giant insect steps on it, there will be no good end.
But how can the swarm of insects stop advancing because of this little difficulty? They are not afraid of life and death, and they don't know what fear is. The only thought is to charge and charge again until all the humans on the island are killed.
The minefield with a width of more than 100 meters caused a large number of casualties to the swarm of insects, but the remaining giant insects still stepped on the mines and continued to advance, looking like they would never stop until they died.
Although the minefield was passed, the defenders had prepared another feast for the swarm of insects.
The defending company commander felt that the time was almost right, and immediately requested fire support on the radio.
The artillery, seven kilometers away, immediately opened fire. The whistling sound of the shells came from far away and soon hit the landing insect swarm. The air waves caused by large-caliber shells were much larger than mines. Anyone within the range of the explosion power, whether giant insects or insect people, would die.
