One Thousand Four Hundred and Eighty-Four Estimated 7 Minutes

The battle is still going on, and the pause button will not be pressed just because there is a seriously injured pilot on the ground.

After the aviation troops used up all the ammunition on the plane, they reluctantly raised the altitude and returned.

At this time, the fighter group received a direct order from Liu Huaidong, requiring all fighters to pay attention to their positions and not block the orbital elevator under any circumstances.

The content of the order was so strange that the pilots who received the order had no idea what the order meant.

It wasn't until the command issued further instructions that the pilots suddenly realized.

In the battle just now, several thin lights chasing the fleet almost hit the orbital elevator, which scared Liu Huaidong into a cold sweat. If these thin lights really hit the orbital elevator, the orbital elevator would be doomed. As the base commander, he would definitely He is the first responsible person!

He couldn't afford to carry such a big pot, so he quickly issued such an order to prevent the enemy from sweeping the thin light towards the orbital elevator again.

Having said that, the target of the aliens should be the orbital elevator, but after the insect swarm landed, they had no intention of launching an attack. If the insect swarm had directly formed a formation on the beach and fired a small volley of light, the orbital elevator would have been destroyed long ago. !

No matter what, don't let the enemy succeed!

Liu Huaidong made up his mind and issued several orders through gritted teeth.

At this time, the naval aviation had withdrawn from the battle, and the battlefield ushered in a rare tranquility. Many giant insects came out of their hiding places, and there were actually quite a lot of them.

They gathered together in twos and threes and continued to move deeper into the jungle.

This scene was transmitted to the Equator Base headquarters via satellite. Liu Huaidong's face was as sinking as water: "Where is the Army Airlines plane?"

The combat staff quickly replied: "Contact in one minute and thirty seconds!"

Liu Huaidong's face looked better: "Order Lu Hang to go all out and be careful of light bugs!"

"yes!"

Liu Huaidong asked again: "Where is the space battleship?"

"Six minutes to get ready!"

Liu Huaidong finally breathed a sigh of relief: "I'll report any news immediately!"

"yes!"

While talking,

The armed helicopters from the Equator base finally flew over the insect swarm. More than twenty armed helicopters dispersed in advance, chasing the fleeing giant insects and firing fiercely.

Rockets, cannons, large-caliber machine guns.

Helicopters can be equipped with a lot of weapons, and they are all used on the giant insects. The firepower from the sky is rapid and precise. The giant insects are unable to fight back in the face of the attack. They are beaten by the helicopter group and run away in all directions.

The best combat of armed helicopters is ground attack. They used to be the nemesis of armored forces, but now they just suppress the swarm of insects.

Two thin lights suddenly burst out in the jungle. A helicopter could not avoid it. The tail of the helicopter was cut off by the thin light. The aircraft immediately fell into uncontrollable spin, spinning in circles and falling.

However, the main rotor was still functioning. Although only half of the helicopter was left, it did not fall very fast. Apart from the dizzying of the people inside, there was no other danger.

But this does not mean that these two sources of danger can be ignored. Several nearby helicopters immediately launched air-to-ground missiles at the place where the thin light came from. The missiles followed a trail of smoke into the jungle and exploded in the blink of an eye.

The only two remaining light bugs were wiped out, completely ending the last hope of the insect swarm.

The speed of helicopters is much slower than that of fighters. If the helicopter group arrives first, it will definitely suffer heavy losses from the light bug attack.

Fortunately, the fighter planes were the first to arrive. Not only did the fighter group kill a large number of giant bugs, but in order to avenge their comrades, they also gave the light bugs special care and almost wiped out all the remaining light bugs. Only the last two light bugs survived. Otherwise, the helicopter group will definitely not be happy.

The helicopter swarm did not know that it was the last obstacle. In order to prevent the sudden attack of the light bugs, the helicopter swarm became increasingly cautious in its encirclement and suppression operations. They would rather let the giant bugs go first, but also give priority to ensuring the safety of the aircraft.

Only by preserving yourself can you destroy your enemies. This is always true.

When the battle reached this point, Liu Huaidong finally put his heart back in his stomach.

There are still a lot of giant insects left, but there are already a lot of giant insects in the primeval forest of Calidan. There are not many more of them, and there are not many of them. Even those giant insects that escaped with their lives finally gathered together and attacked. Even if the base launches an attack, it is impossible to break through the base's defense.

Not to mention anything else, just looking at the row of 1020 close-in defense guns on the outer wall of the base, you will know how abnormal the defense of the base is! ——Ordinary surface warships can be equipped with up to four 1020 close-in defense guns, which can include the front, rear, left, right and top within the defense range.

The equatorial base has a radius of five kilometers and a circumference of nearly 16 kilometers. A 1020 cannon is placed every 500 meters, and there are more than 30 cannons on the outer wall.

There is not only this kind of defensive weapon on the wall, but also many machine gun towers that automatically feed ammunition. Each machine gun has no less than 20,000 rounds of ammunition.

In addition, there are a large number of automatic grenade launchers. The three weapons form a three-dimensional defense network that combines points and surfaces. As long as there are no problems with the ammunition supply, the possibility of the insect swarm attacking the base is almost negligible.

The Army Aviation's encirclement and suppression had not yet ended, and the hurriedly arrived space battleship Qionghe had already flown over Kalidan and established contact with the base headquarters.

Liu Huaidong was overjoyed after receiving the report and immediately asked the Qionghe for assistance - the base garrison and the space fleet belong to two arms and have no reporting relationship with each other, and the lowest captain of the battleship is a colonel, and only in rare cases is a lieutenant colonel. , only one level lower than him, so there’s no harm in being polite.

The order received by the Qionghe was to assist the base defenders in clearing out the giant insects. How could they not agree? So the warship immediately joined the battle, and 27 laser main guns fired at the same time. The beams of light fell from outer space to the ground, clearing out the giant insects locked on the warship one by one.

The Qionghe was in a commanding position, which was really an advantage. With just a few volleys, the giant insects around the battlefield were cleared out. The armed helicopters that had been circling around suddenly found that they could not find the target at all!

How could a helicopter compare to a warship? The pilots who participated in the battle were so depressed.

Many pilots were stimulated in this battle and made up their minds to be transferred to the space fleet.

At this time, the base issued a return order, and the helicopter group turned around and flew back... The gap was too big, and they didn't want to stay on the battlefield for a minute longer.

The Qionghe's action was very effective. It exceeded its mission in a short while. It not only killed all the giant insects that landed, but also killed many native Garidan giant insects. So far, the alien landing operation has completely failed.

Just when Liu Huaidong breathed a sigh of relief and thought that today's battle was over, the communications staff suddenly ran over in a hurry: "Report, Qionghe reported that alien submarines were found underwater outside the port. The number is no less than 20, and the number is still increasing. It is expected to enter the port in seven minutes!"
