One Thousand Six Hundred and Twelve Dam Breach
Ye Han could see from the surveillance that more and more bugs were pouring into the underground city, and there were not only springtails and the temporarily named shield bugs, but also those bugs that dug through the protective wall, and there were quite a few of them.
Then it was time for the bugs to perform. They used shield bugs to block the bullets of the defenders and used springtails as the main force of attack, but all this was just a trick of the swarm. The giant bugs that dug through the wall were the real main force of attack. They dug through the wall layer by layer, constantly opening passages for other giant bugs.
One of the giant bugs even accidentally dug through a shelter in the occupied area, and hundreds of people died. The pictures left by the surveillance were horrible.
The control center discovered this situation and immediately notified the garrison in front. The garrison immediately blocked the corresponding position and continued to intercept the swarm.
However, the swarm had tens of thousands of giant bugs, but the garrison had only a few thousand people. The two sides were not at the same level at all. The defenders went all out, but they could not stop the increasing number of loopholes. In the end, the battle collapsed, and the defenders had to abandon their positions and retreat to the depths of the underground city.
But how could the swarm miss this hard-won opportunity? Taking advantage of the defenders' retreat, countless springtails swarmed in. They filled every channel like an unstoppable torrent and tried every means to pursue the defenders.
As a last resort, the defenders had to block the enemy on the spot and fight a life-and-death battle with the swarm.
Although the defenders fought desperately, their numerical disadvantage was infinitely magnified under the fierce attack of the swarm. Although the soldiers were also wearing power armor, Ye Han knew that it was an old model from a long time ago. Not only was the endurance short, but the strength of the armor was also relatively poor.
This was very obvious in the confrontation between the two sides. Although the springtails could not stop the defenders' bullets and would lose half their lives if they were hit, the armor on the defenders could not stop the knife arms of the springtails. Many soldiers were knocked down by the springtails and never stood up again.
After a while, the battle between the two sides became white-hot. Every minute and every second, giant insects and defenders died.
The number of defenders dropped sharply. They were originally evenly matched, but the balance of victory gradually tilted towards the swarm of insects. It would not be long before the defenders would be completely wiped out. From what Ye Han knew, there were indeed only a few defenders left. They shed their last drop of blood to protect the underground city, and they were worthy of the great word "soldier".
But how did the defenders completely disappear?
Ye Han continued to watch the video.
At this time, the picture changed. The battle situation in front of them affected the hearts of all the soldiers and civilians in the underground city. When they found that the defenders suffered heavy casualties, the rear immediately organized militia to rush to the battlefield.
The underground city has a complete mobilization mechanism.
In just over ten minutes, the first batch of militia arrived at the battlefield.
But the militia was poorly equipped, with only one gun per person. It was not an armored rifle suitable for dealing with giant insects, but the most ordinary rifle.
Everyone knew that ordinary rifles could not deal with giant insects, and the militia did not intend to fight the swarm of insects to the death. After they rushed into the battlefield, they immediately withdrew the wounded and the remains of the martyrs.
The battle was so intense that there were only a few wounded soldiers worth saving. Most of the fallen defenders died on the battlefield, and there was no hope of rescue.
At the critical moment, a man who seemed to be very effective stood up and ordered the militia to take off the armor on the Martyr Peak and let the militia wear it.
The militia did not hesitate at all. They quickly took off the armor on the martyrs, put it on, and then turned around and rushed into the battlefield, using the armor and weapons left by the martyrs to fight against the swarm.
Even the regular army has not been able to resist the swarm of insects, let alone the militia who have changed their careers? After all, the defenders are serious professional soldiers, and the training level of the militia is a whole lot worse than that of the defenders.
In the battle, the militia sacrificed much faster than the defenders!
In this way, while the militia tried every means to save the wounded, many militia also joined the battle against the swarm of insects. Every time they rescued a wounded person or the remains of a martyr, they had to untie the armor as soon as possible and then try every means to put it on themselves.
Just like what the militiaman explained to Luo Qi when they first arrived here, the militiamen had to constantly collect armor parts from different bodies before they could finally combine them into a complete piece of armor.
After doing this several times, the armor on the militiamen became more and more broken, and the bugs seemed to be endless. The underground city was indeed not big, but the bugs were everywhere, forcing the defenders to retreat again and again, and finally had to retreat to the core area collectively.
In order to cover the evacuation of others, the last defender took the initiative to stay behind when retreating to the core area. This unit fought to the last person, until everyone died, and no one retreated a step.
However, when the rear guard unit was completely wiped out, a considerable unit of militiamen failed to retreat into the core area. As a result, the swarm of bugs rushed in, and many militiamen never showed up again.
Ye Han felt that the bodies he encountered before entering the underground city were probably the lost militiamen.
This situation is definitely not an isolated case in West 64. It is just that we don’t know where the others are now, and we can’t even be sure whether the lost people are alive or dead.
Seeing all of this, Ye Han was heartbroken. Although the militiamen were not well trained, most of them fought hard in the battle and were no less capable than any of the defenders.
If these militiamen were given enough time, they would surely grow into real warriors.
Seeing this, Ye Han already understood what happened before, but at this moment, the screen suddenly changed, turning into several different independent shots, and one of the screens gave a blurry close-up.
There was a person on the screen, and Ye Han recognized him at a glance. Wasn't that Director Li?
Director Li in the video was directing the battle, but just a few seconds later, the swarm of insects broke through the wall, and a large number of giant insects rushed to the position.
Director Li ran away without even saying a word of retreat, and directly threw all the militiamen on the position.
Some militiamen also panicked and ran to the core area. The number of remaining militiamen was very small. Some ran to other areas, and some directly chased the fleeing militiamen.
Ye Han's face was livid. How could such a person who deserted the battlefield control the power of the underground city?
Although it is still unknown how Director Li became the director, it can be imagined that the process must not be so fair.
It doesn't matter if Ye Han doesn't watch the following videos. To put it in a broader sense, it was Director Li's desertion that led to the complete collapse of the defense line. No matter how he is dealt with, it won't be excessive.
But after thinking about it carefully, Ye Han decided to continue watching and figure out everything first.
