One Thousand Six Hundred and Twenty-Two Giant Insects Gather
Ye Han asked himself if he didn't have much strategic vision, but if he could see the problem clearly, how could Beidu not see it clearly?
Now that the position of West 64 has been exposed, even if Ye Han killed this wave of Zerg, it would only be a matter of time before another wave came. Moreover, the number of Zerg sent by the aliens this time was not small, but the stamina was not enough. It felt a bit anticlimactic, and it was probably due to insufficient preparation.
When the aliens launched another attack, it would not be such a small fight. With only the military strength of West 64, it was very unlikely to stop the Zerg.
No matter how you look at it, it is not a good idea to continue staying in West 64. Anyway, there are only more than 7,000 people left here, and the best option is to relocate all the residents here.
But Beidu obviously did not intend to do so. Even the order given to Ye Han did not forget to eliminate the Zerg.
If Beidu intended to give up West 64, how could it give such an order?
Ye Han's ability is limited. He can only give the underground city a little help within his ability... such as blocking the damn hole in the retaining wall!
Although it is only a matter of time before the aliens dig another channel, blocking this channel still has extraordinary significance. At least it can buy more time for the underground city. If it gets support from Qingtang, it may be possible to arrange more defense measures to turn West 64 into a real fortress.
Given the current situation of West 64, it doesn't make much sense to turn it into a fortress. Instead of trying every means to strengthen the retaining wall, it is better to completely abandon this place and evacuate all the surviving people.
Ye Han didn't know what the superiors were thinking, but the order he received was to eliminate the insect swarm, so he had to find a way to complete the task instead of making random suggestions to the superiors.
Moreover, this unit is a strategic unit of the space fleet and it is impossible for it to stay in the underground city for a long time. Ye Han plans to use a few days to clean up the remaining residential areas. By then, the superiors should order the troops to withdraw from West 64.
Just when Ye Han led the troops to eliminate the remaining enemies, he suddenly received a new order from Beiyuezhou, requiring him to lead the team to block the entrance to the underground city immediately and not let any giant insect go!
Looking at the instructions attached to the order, Ye Han quickly understood the situation outside.
Ever since the Marines blew up the passage, the giant insects in the entire western region have been restless, and there are signs of migrating to West Liusi. Not long ago, the western region ushered in a new round of rainfall, and the giant insects within a radius of more than 100 kilometers suddenly rushed to West Liusi like crazy.
Although the weather was not very good, the satellite in the sky still discovered the abnormality of the insect swarm in time, and West Liusi was not far from Qingtang. There were many mercenaries who relied on Qingtang for their livelihood in the wasteland between the two places. After they discovered the abnormality of the insect swarm, they looked for opportunities to eliminate the giant insects while reporting the abnormal movement of the insect swarm to Qingtang.
Receiving a large number of similar reports in a short period of time immediately attracted Qingtang's high attention. After summarizing the news reported from various places, Qingtang immediately discovered that the giant insects' target was West Liusi.
This made it easy to deal with. Although the bad weather will continue for a while, the bad weather will not affect the garrison's killing of insects.
The Qingtang Command immediately issued a sniper order, increasing the reward for mercenaries hunting giant insects by 10%.
At the same time, Qingtang also issued a ban to the mercenaries, classifying Xiliu Si and some surrounding areas as dangerous areas, and strictly prohibiting anyone from entering. Those who cross the border will bear the consequences at their own risk.
On the other hand, Qingtang submitted a combat plan to Beidu as soon as possible, planning to bombard the insect swarm at an appropriate time.
As the largest settlement area in the entire western region, Qingtang has a complete defense system, with all kinds of artillery groups at long, medium and short distances. Bombarding a group of giant insects is not a big deal at all. There is no need to alarm Beidu for a battle of this scale. The reason for notifying Beidu is just to archive it for future reference.
Soon after, everything was ready, and Qingtang released a drone to monitor the situation of the insect swarm and guide the direction for bombarding the insect swarm.
A few hours later, the first batch of giant insects broke into the restricted area, but the insects were relatively scattered and there was no value in firepower coverage.
It was necessary to wait for the insects to gather before the shells fired were valuable.
However, the aliens had learned their lesson in the war with humans. They knew that human firepower was not easy to deal with, so they deliberately dispersed the swarm of insects, which was very similar to the human skirmish line. It was not known whether the aliens came up with it themselves or heard it from the modified insect people.
In short, the swarm of insects would not gather at all before reaching the entrance of the underground city!
It was for this reason that Ye Han received the order from Beiyuezhou.
There was not much time left for Ye Han. He immediately led the team back to the core area, took all the stored ammunition, and then hurried to the exit of the underground city.
That's not all, because he felt that there was not much ammunition in his hands, Ye Han took advantage of the fact that the swarm of insects would not arrive for some time, and hurriedly issued an airdrop order to Ningwuguan, requiring the warship to airdrop a batch of weapons and equipment.
A few minutes later, the heavy equipment requested by Ye Han landed, and the soldiers rushed up in the drizzle, opened the airdrop box on the spot, and took their weapons with them.
These included a 12.7mm three-barrel heavy machine gun, a light laser cannon with a backpack battery, a 20mm remote-controlled sniper cannon equipped with special ammunition, a single-soldier rocket launcher, and sufficient ammunition, etc.
The cold weapons that had just been designed were also airdropped. When Ye Han took a look at them, he almost vomited blood on the spot - isn't this a baton?
This thing is indeed thickened based on the prototype of a baton, but the length and feel after being swung are good, and the weight is heavier than steel bars. Such a small volume and such a heavy weight must obviously be made of some special materials.
The soldiers finished arming as quickly as possible. A few people dragged the airdrop box back to the original route, and the others retreated while laying mines, preparing a welcome gift for the swarm of insects with hundreds of mines.
The airdrop box dragged back to the passage was not wasted. This thing is also a multi-purpose thing. After disassembling and reassembling, it is a simple bunker. It may not be effective against human thermal weapons, but it is enough to stop the swarm of insects.
Everything was ready. More than 20 minutes later, the first giant insect appeared in the sight of the soldiers.
The drone in the air used a lens to penetrate the rain curtain-it was a small group of springtails, no more than 20 at least, and the distance between the insects was particularly wide.
Such a target is not suitable for firepower coverage, but Ye Han did not intend to give the insects time to gather, and immediately gave an order to the sniper.
The sniper had already set up the sniper gun on the top of the mountain. After receiving the order, he immediately maneuvered the sniper gun to aim at the insect swarm. With a muffled sound, the 20mm caliber shell flew over two kilometers in an instant, hitting two insects in succession, thus kicking off the battle.
