One Thousand Four Hundred and Ninety-One Fear of Insufficient Firepower
Fang Xiaoqiang only had about twenty people. Although the team members tried their best, more and more giant shrimps crawled into the hatch. The limited manpower was stretched to the limit and became increasingly powerless.
Fang Xiaoqiang was so focused on dealing with the giant shrimp that he had no extra time to think about other things.
A giant shrimp that squeezed into the hatch was lucky enough not to be intercepted by the defenders. It carefully hid in a corner of the hatch. Its waist, as thick as a bucket, suddenly swelled without warning. Then a stream of water suddenly spurted out of the insect's mouth, like a high-pressure water gun, directly spraying on the chest of a soldier, pushing the soldier back several steps, and finally falling to the ground, thus avoiding the subsequent water flow.
The soldiers all thought that the combat power of the giant shrimp came from the pair of giant claws. No one thought that this thing could also spray water, and the power was so strong.
The fallen soldier's mind had not yet turned around, and the instinctive fear made him completely panic.
This is the saliva spit out by the giant insect. Is it a strong acid or a strong alkali? In short, it must be a particularly strong corrosive liquid!
But after waiting for a while, he found that except for that blow, there was nothing wrong with his body, and there was no sign of the armor melting.
He realized that the giant shrimp spit out just ordinary water.
He quickly stood up, picked up his rifle and continued to fire.
However, in the short time after falling down and getting up, the situation between the enemy and us changed dramatically.
The giant shrimp knocked down a soldier, but it was not just as simple as knocking down a soldier. With one less person on the already tense defense line, the firepower suddenly dropped a lot. More giant shrimps squeezed into the hatch, and streams of water sprayed at the soldiers who were firing at full force, knocking them to the ground one by one.
There were not many people to begin with, and half of them were knocked down by the giant shrimp. The hangar was in chaos, and the soldiers who were not knocked down by the water column were also panicked.
At the critical moment, reinforcements finally arrived, and more than 20 sailors rushed to the hatch with their weapons.
Several of the strongest soldiers held an automatic grenade launcher that looked like a gun but was not a gun, like a cannon but was not a cannon, and had a super-large drum. The reinforcements set up the automatic grenade launcher more than a hundred meters away and fired at the giant shrimp.
Even if the water column had a high pressure, its range would not be more than a hundred meters, right?
The 35mm armor-piercing grenade specially made to deal with the giant insects was quite powerful. It penetrated the giant shrimp's carapace effortlessly and exploded inside the shell, instantly blowing the giant shrimp into a ball of rotten meat.
Although there were only two launchers,
they could not withstand the power of this thing. One shot could destroy a giant shrimp. There was simply no better weapon than it. The armored rifle was nothing in front of the sniper gun!
The only drawback was that the ammunition capacity of this thing was too small. The largest drum could only hold fifteen grenades at a time, and it would be empty after a while.
The military also had a grenade launcher that used a belt. A belt of thirty rounds was more useful than a drum, but it was a pity that it was not available on the Yuzhou.
The two sniper guns ran out of ammunition one after another, and 30 grenades successfully killed 27 giant shrimps, achieving brilliant results. The significance of the sniper guns in the battle was not how many giant shrimps were killed, but to participate in the battle in time, save the situation that was about to collapse, and win time for the special forces to adjust.
All the special forces who fell to the ground took this opportunity to climb up and quickly shrink the front line and retreat.
When the sniper guns ran out of ammunition, the special forces opened fire again to cover the sniper guns to replace ammunition.
However, the effect of the armored rifles was really not good, and the situation that had just been contained once again tilted towards the enemy.
At this moment, Fang Xiaoqiang wished that all the armored rifles in the hands of all the team members would be replaced with sniper guns.
Fortunately, other sailors also joined the ranks of firing. Originally, there were only more than 20 special forces members, but now the number of people firing has doubled, and the density of the rain of bullets has also doubled. Dense bullets flew everywhere, killing the giant shrimps that rushed into the hangar one by one on the road, and also hitting the bulkheads with potholes, and the sound of ricochets was endless.
The armored rifle has a large caliber and is powerful. The power of ricochets must not be ignored. Anyone hit by a ricochet will either die or be disabled.
The special forces members have power armor on them, so they don’t care about direct hits, so they don’t have to care about those ricochets. But the sailors can’t do that. They only have the simplest power exoskeleton. Once they are hit by a ricochet, the consequences will be disastrous.
Although the sailors are not as professional as the special forces, they are also soldiers and know very well what ricochets are. However, in the face of danger, no one took a step back, even if they were worried and scared in their hearts.
Fortunately, Fang Xiaoqiang was very experienced. He immediately ordered his special forces to block the sailors and use armor as a temporary shelter.
A soldier just blocked the sailor behind him when a bullet ricocheted on his chest armor. He couldn't help but feel lucky. If it was a little later, the sailor behind him would be finished.
It was impossible for the special forces to completely block the sailor, but it was much better than not having any cover at all. The sailors immediately felt relieved and put their guns in the gaps between the armor and continued to shoot at the giant shrimp.
The giant shrimp did not show weakness and sprayed water at the soldiers as long as it found an opportunity.
The giant shrimp could not spray the sniper gun more than 100 meters away, but it could spray the soldiers dozens of meters away. Every few minutes, a stream of water sprayed over, soaking the soldiers' heads and faces.
Fortunately, the water column was already at the end of its strength after flying so far. Apart from soaking the soldiers, there was no other trouble.
The hangar was not as spacious as imagined. In order to cover the sniper gun and make room for the sniper gun, the soldiers had to stand a little forward, about 50 to 60 meters away from the hatch.
At this position, the soldiers can see most of the hatch. If they retreat to the position of the sniper gun, they can only see a corner of the hatch, and the giant shrimp cannot be fired unless it enters the hangar.
Under the cover of everyone, the sniper gun quickly replaced the drum, but this time the sailors did not rush to fire, but observed the situation. Unless the giant shrimp rushed into the hangar, they would not fire if they could.
First, the shooting angle is not good, and second, the sniper gun has limited ammunition. If it is not restrained, it will not take long to use up the grenades.
However, there are only two sniper guns, which makes Fang Xiaoqiang very uneasy. Once the enemy strengthens the attack, two sniper guns are not enough!
Feeling that the situation is temporarily stable, Fang Xiaoqiang immediately contacted the bridge and asked the bridge to send at least eight more sniper teams down, and the more grenades, the better, as many as possible.
Ten sniper teams should be enough.
Yunbo was so angry that he almost fainted after receiving the application. He yelled into the microphone: "I've given you all the sniper guns, what about other places?"
There are only so many sniper guns. Such a large warship needs people to defend everywhere. Those sniper guns are not enough, okay? () "Shell Frenzy" only represents the author Metal Crack's views.
