One Thousand Six Hundred and Ninety-Seven Indirect Firepower

The first round of shooting by the heavy light bugs was just an appetizer. They then opened fire on the defenders, but this time they did not shoot individually, but all the light bugs aimed at the same fortress building.

More than a dozen thin lights tore through the rain curtain at the same time... Each thin light had a different angle and direction, but each thin light hit the target accurately.

The radio was in chaos, and many voices kept repeating the same sentence: "Building 76 was hit, Building 76 was hit..."

The sound in the radio was suddenly replaced by a rumbling muffled sound. The closer to Building 76, the more obvious the sound was, accompanied by screams, but most people did not know where the muffled sound came from, let alone who made the screams.

It was not until countless bricks and large pieces of concrete fell from the sky and landed on the streets around Building 76 that everyone realized what had happened.

Soldiers in several nearby buildings ventured out to check the situation of Building 76. They found that Building 76 was flattened by one-third of the light, and concrete fell from the roof, blocking the nearby streets. Some of it even fell on the adjacent fortress building. Fortunately, the fortress building was built solidly, so the outer wall was not damaged by the falling concrete.

This situation quickly spread among the commanders of the defenders. Everyone was shocked and realized that the situation was not good.

If Building 76 can be destroyed, other fortress buildings can be destroyed.

Never let the enemy open fire!

All commanders on the battlefield had the same idea in their minds. They unanimously issued a counterattack order to the troops to eliminate the heavy light bugs at all costs!

After receiving the order, the defenders immediately opened fire with all their strength. The infantry, who had been fighting with the insect swarm, turned their guns and everyone focused their fire on the light bugs. Dense bullets hit the heavy light bugs, and the crackling sound of the bullets was more dense than the rainstorm.

However, the heavy light bugs in the rain of bullets didn't care. One of the heavy light bugs casually swept a thin beam of light at the base of several fortresses.

The light first swept on the wall, then moved horizontally, drilled into the firing hole at the edge, and then was blocked by the outer wall, and then swept into the second firing hole, then the third, the fourth...

The soldiers lying on the battle position had no time to dodge, and were directly hit by the thin light and cut on the spot... How could flesh and blood withstand the power of the thin light? The soldiers who were shot were like being cut by an invisible giant blade, and the part in the middle swept by the thin light completely disappeared, leaving only two pieces of broken bodies left there.

It was not until the thin light swept to the second fortress that a shrill cry sounded on the radio: "Hide--"

Those who saw the thin light instantly understood something,

those who reacted quickly immediately turned over and fled, and those who reacted slowly only hesitated for a short moment, and the thin light had already cut into the bottom of the second fortress.

The thin light dissipated, and the tide of gunfire dissipated for the most part. According to statistics afterwards, just this thin light caused the defenders to lose more than 40 soldiers.

The comrades who had been with them day and night died tragically, and the blood made many soldiers lose their minds and jump up to fight the enemy.

However, some soldiers with weak wills were frightened by the cruelty of the insect swarm and dared not return to their positions no matter what.

The battle was intense, and many commanders were furious and rushed to their positions regardless of anything. They picked up any weapons they saw and fired at the insect swarm at the risk of being counterattacked by the light insects.

The soldiers launched a counterattack regardless of everything. The gunfire on the defense line only paused for a short moment, and then the gunfire drowned everything again.

At the same time, the rooftop of the fortress building.

The soldiers guarding here carried the launch tubes in the heavy rain and rushed to the edge of the rooftop in one breath.

At the commander's command, more than 30 soldiers stood up at the same time, and the individual rockets quickly locked onto the target. Without waiting for the order, the soldiers had already pulled the trigger... The opportunity was fleeting, and the rocket launcher was not a curved firepower. Any hesitation would lead to the enemy's counterattack.

More than 30 individual rockets broke through the rain curtain and flew towards the heavy light bugs with bright tail flames.

The bright tail flames were extremely conspicuous in the rain curtain. The launchers on the backs of several heavy light bugs suddenly changed to continuous firing. Dozens of thin lights swept across the night sky in the rain. The flying rockets were all destroyed by the thin lights in a short moment, and no rocket broke through the interception.

The flying rockets exploded one after another, but the soldiers on the rooftop didn't even look at them. They carried the individual missiles and rushed to the edge of the rooftop, placed the missiles on the parapet at the edge of the rooftop, hid behind the wall, and locked the target through the sight.

At the command, more than 30 missiles were launched at the same time. However, the attack method of this missile was not direct shooting, but rapid soaring into the sky, and after flying to a certain height, it suddenly turned and dived down, and finally hit the top of the target with the force of the dive.

However, the tail flame of the individual missile also attracted the attention of the heavy light insects. A thin beam of light pierced the sky and destroyed the missiles in flight.

The commander in charge of the rooftop almost went crazy.

While the rooftop was attacking with all its strength, the rapid-fire guns located in the middle and upper floors of the fortress building also opened fire. However, the rapid-fire guns clearly hit the heavy light insects, but the heavy light insects that were hit were like nothing happened. They immediately raised their heads and fired at the rapid-fire guns. A thin beam of light destroyed two rapid-fire guns.

Everything happened in a very short time. At this moment, the commander in the front was very calm. He quickly issued several orders. First, he ordered the front-line troops to stop shooting at the heavy light insects, but to target ordinary giant insects to prevent the insect swarm from rushing into the city; second, he ordered the rooftop to use recoilless guns and mortars; third, he requested fire support from the Funing City Command Center.

The 120mm heavy mortar deployed behind the rooftop opened fire first, and slammed more than ten kilograms of terminal-sensitive shells at the heavy light insect at a rate of ten rounds per minute.

The shells had no tail flames, and the heavy mortar shells penetrated the dark rain curtain. The first shell successfully hit the heavy light insect. A bright flame suddenly exploded a few meters above the heavy light insect, and a stream of fire fell from the sky and instantly penetrated the heavy light insect.

The heavy light insect fell down with a scream, and the two chemical substances in its body quickly mixed. With a muffled bang, the heavy light insect was shattered, and the hard shell flew everywhere, more shrapnel than shrapnel. At least a dozen giant insects were affected by the flying shells.

A heavy light insect was eliminated, but the battle was far from over. The soldiers did not cheer but remained silent, and continued to fire at the eyes in their sight.

The mortar hit the target, and the gunner immediately adjusted the direction and fired at the next target.

Shells hit one after another, many of which hit heavy light bugs, but more shells hit ordinary giant bugs.

At the beginning, only the mortars on the fortresses in the front fired, but soon, the front informed the rear of the target location, and the mortars on the fortresses in the rear joined the firing, and shells rained down for a while.
