One Thousand Seven Hundred and Twenty-Four Spiral Sniper (2)

After Kong Jie killed four giant insects in succession, he and his comrades finally solved this wave of insects. He quickly replaced a real magazine and noticed that his comrades had disappeared. Only a pool of blood was left on the steps.

At this time, a back figure flashed into the corridor, and it seemed that he was holding something in his hand. It should be the medical staff who rescued the wounded.

The next wave of insects had not come up yet. Kong Jie quietly breathed a sigh of relief, climbed up quietly, sat down with his back against the wall, took off the water bottle on his waist, unscrewed it and took a sip, and held it in his mouth for a while before slowly swallowing it.

The water bottle was full, but it was unknown how long this wave would last, and it was unknown when the supplies would be delivered, so it had to be saved.

He slightly raised his head and let the back of his head rest against the wall. This posture made him feel more comfortable. His eyes, which seemed to be closed, were facing the spiral staircase. Suddenly, it seemed that a ray of sunlight was penetrating the top of the stairs!

This is the eighth floor of the fortress building. The seven floors below are occupied by insects. From here on, it belongs to humans.

Looking back now, Kong Jie still couldn't figure out how the bugs attacked. First, everyone retreated to the second floor and gave up the first floor. Then the bugs attacked the second floor. Everyone retreated while resisting. Then the bugs kept attacking and the defenders kept retreating.

In order to stop the bugs' offensive, the defenders blew up three of the four spiral staircases in the fortress, leaving only the last one, and set up a circular position along the steps to block the swarm of bugs from a high position.

Due to the concentration of troops in several directions, the blocking action was very effective. No matter how brave the swarm of bugs was, it could not break through the defense of the defenders.

However, the defenders also suffered heavy losses in the continuous battle. Now all the defenders in this building are concentrated here. If the swarm of bugs breaks through the blockade, they can completely occupy this building!

Kong Jie is the kind of soldier who doesn't like to use his brain and does whatever he is told. But today, he suddenly had an idea: Why are the bugs staring at the fortress?

It is said that bugs should not have any pursuit of the house, but these bugs are different. They keep fighting with the defenders regardless of life and death. Is it just to annihilate the defenders?

Are you kidding? Do bugs know what it means to destroy the living force?

Just as I was thinking about it, I was suddenly awakened by a whistle. A voice shouted not far away: "The bugs are coming, get ready to fight!"

Kong Jie sighed for a long time, resisted the urge to roll his eyes, and quickly lay on the ground and set up his rifle.

This time there are more bugs than the previous two times combined.

A large group of springtails plus a large group of stinging insects, they squeezed together and scrambled to climb up.

The defenders never got used to the bugs. Captain Tong immediately ordered to shoot. In an instant, the gunshots rang out. The deafening gunshots filled the spiral staircase and echoed in everyone's ears.

The swarm of insects encountered a head-on attack, but they were not at all chaotic. Some springtails continued to move upwards, some jumped from the left to the right, and then jumped back flexibly, using various different methods to attack the defenders' blocking line.

But the spiral staircase is so small that no matter how flexible the springtail is, it is impossible to jump out. The closer the springtail is to the blocking line, the more dangerous it is. It may be bitten by the rain of bullets from top to bottom at any time.

Springtails don't care about so much. The only action is to charge, charge and charge again.

In contrast, stinging insects are much smarter. They always hide behind springtails, looking for every opportunity to shoot cold guns, and the bone spurs going up from time to time hit the defenders above.

Whenever this happens, the medical staff waiting in the corridor will rush out at the first time, crouching and carrying away the wounded or the body as quickly as possible.

However, after a short while, the battle between the two sides has become white-hot. Bullets and bone spurs are flying back and forth. While a large number of insects are dying, the defenders are also suffering heavy casualties.

Kong Jie's classmates are either injured or sacrificed. Only he is still holding on. He has no idea of ​​whether he will be injured or not. The only idea is to kill more insects.

When the bullets are used up, replace them with new magazines immediately.

The magazine ran out, and he quickly picked up the machine gun that his companion had left behind... He kept firing without caring about anything, and the barrel of the machine gun was all red. Fortunately, the bullets were used up and the barrel did not explode.

The defenders suffered more and more casualties on the blocking line, but the insect swarm did not care about the life and death of the insects. If one died, it would be killed. The entire defense line was in danger.

Seeing that they were about to fail, Captain Tong finally showed mercy and sent another group of people to reinforce the defense line. The sparse rain of bullets became dense again.

This time, the additional personnel not only brought rifles and machine guns, but also brought a lot of grenades. Several soldiers were responsible for throwing grenades. They threw them down as hard as if they were free. In a blink of an eye, the explosions below were connected. The living insects, dead insects, and half-dead insects were all blown away in the explosion. A few lucky ones were able to fall back to the stairs. Most of the insects were blown out of the railings by the shock wave and became free-falling bodies.

The insects' bones grow outside, and they are indeed much stronger than humans, but if they fall from this height, they will either die or become disabled.

The grenade worked well, and everyone from Captain Tong to ordinary soldiers breathed a sigh of relief.

The soldiers didn't know that Captain Tong had already prepared for the worst. Once the insect swarm broke through the blockade, he would immediately blow up the spiral staircase, even if it destroyed the only passage, and never let the insect swarm attack!

Fortunately, the defenders held the line and didn't give the insect swarm a chance to break through.

After repelling another round of attacks from the insect swarm, the soldiers quickly replenished their ammunition and prepared to meet the next round of attacks.

Captain Tong received bad news - there was not much ammunition left!

Regardless of the severity of the wounded, he still had nearly two companies of soldiers in his hands. As long as there was enough ammunition, it would be no problem to keep the swarm of insects below. However, a good cook cannot cook without rice. Without bullets, the guns in the hands of the soldiers were not as good as fire sticks. How could this battle be fought?

Before the swarm of insects attacked, he quickly contacted the command center, hoping that the command center would provide support.

However, this fortress building was isolated from other fortress buildings, and several nearby fortress buildings were attacked by the swarm of insects. There was no extra ammunition to support here.

The defenders could no longer hold on, and the command center simply ordered Captain Tong to lead the team to retreat to the rooftop. The command center would find a way to take the defenders in this building away.

Captain Tong was not mentally prepared. After hearing the order, he was surprised for a while before he issued an order to the defenders here to retreat to the rooftop one by one.

The first to evacuate were the lightly and seriously wounded, and then it was the combat units' turn. Kong Jie and his comrades were the last batch of blocking troops to evacuate.

No one said anything, but only they themselves knew what they were thinking.
