Three Hundred and Eighty Second Defense System (2)

In terms of single-worm combat effectiveness, the giant worms in the south are not inferior to their close relatives in the north, but in terms of organization scale, the southern worms who are used to fighting alone are far inferior to the northern worms who form gangs.

A good tiger can't stand up to a pack of wolves, and no matter how powerful a lone ranger is, he can't stand up to a group of enemies.

As soon as Shen Hao finished speaking, another old-looking pickup truck appeared in front of him. The pickup truck stopped beside the tricycle, and the people in the truck looked around, looking very unwilling.

"Will these two groups fight?" Ye Han asked worriedly.

Both sides have guns in their hands. Once a conflict occurs, the consequences will be disastrous.

"It's okay." Shen Hao said indifferently, "The folks from the ten miles and eight villages, since they catch up, they will definitely get a share. Besides, there are cameras on the machine gun tower. If something happens, they will definitely not run away. No one wants to take this risk. .”

"Oh, that's good." Ye Han put his heart back in his stomach.

The off-road vehicle continued to move forward, and from time to time on the road, we encountered locals who came out to pick up insects. After about seven or eight minutes, the road came across a village and town. The outside of the town was like the airport, surrounded by layers of barbed wire. There are machine gun towers, and there are two militia sentries with live ammunition at the entrance of the village.

A large beetle was entangled in the barbed wire outside the village, and there were a few pointing villagers standing in the open space nearby. Ye Han felt that they seemed to want to get into the barbed wire and get the beetle home to eat.

A question jumped into Ye Han's mind: Can beetles be eaten?

It seems, as if, it should be... okay? Maybe the locals have some special way of eating that is unknown.

The two cars continued to move forward. After more than ten minutes, the number of insect picking cars gradually decreased. Shen Hao smiled and said, "We'll be there soon!"

Ye Han looked far away and saw the outline of the city in front of him: "Is this the Suihe River?"

"Yes, this is the Suihe River." Shen Hao said.

The off-road vehicle drove to the outskirts of the city, and there were several houses with local characteristics on the side of the road. However, these rural buildings seemed to have been abandoned by their owners.

Ye Han couldn't help being a little stunned: "Staff Shen, why is there a barbed wire here?"

Shen Hao said, "This was originally a village, a satellite city of Suihe River."

"No wonder." Ye Han smiled, "I used barbed wire to spread from here to the urban area."

"Where can it be? It's still two or three kilometers away." Shen Hao said, "But the barbed wire fences on the outskirts of the city are not narrow, they are nearly 500 meters wide."

"Five hundred meters wide in all directions?"

"Basically, the narrowest section is more than 300 meters." Shen Hao replied.

"How much barbed wire does this cost?" Ye Han couldn't help but sigh.

Although industries across the country have also been impacted by insect plagues, the annual production capacity of more than one billion tons of steel, on average, can be allocated to almost every person in the country. How much can it be used to build some barbed wire for defense in major cities? steel?

That is to say, the countries in the era of great industry have the confidence to spend so much resources to build a defense system. If it is replaced by those countries with no background, they may bankrupt the country's finances even if they build a defense network.

After approaching the urban area, Ye Han had a deeper understanding of the defense network outside Suihe City.

There are not only a group of barbed wire fences with amazing width, but also deep ditches dug between the barbed wire fences, which looks like the battlefield of World War I in the movie.

Closer to the urban area, there are towering machine gun towers; every few ordinary machine gun towers are also equipped with low, solid machine gun towers that look like miniature observatories; on the open space near the outer ring road of the city, Mortar and howitzer positions were also set up.

Not to mention, there are many machine gun towers at the intersections and office buildings in the urban area, bringing all the roads in the city into the range of defensive firepower. Face the defensive firepower in the city.

The off-road vehicle and the armored vehicle drove through the relatively lively street and drove directly into the compound of the military division.

Shen Hao introduced: "Now the military division is the defense command center of the entire Suihe River. I will arrange for your people to greet you.

You go with me to see the commander first. "

The two entered the office building, and soon found the commander's office. The door of the office was open, and the room was shrouded in clouds and mist. The strong smell of tobacco rushed into the nostrils, and even standing outside the door choked the throat.

Shen Hao knocked on the door quite habitually: "Report!"

"Come in!" said a loud voice full of impurities.

The two entered to salute, and Shen Hao introduced, "Commander, I brought Captain Ye back."

Ye Han immediately saluted: "Hello, Commander Shan." The colonel behind the desk is about fifty years old, bald and slightly fat, and his face is covered with craters like the moon. It's no different from a mafia boss.

Commander Shan pressed the cigarette butt on his mouth into the ashtray, twisted it again, and said with a local accent: "Sit down, I'm looking forward to you!"

"Commander, you are too polite." Ye Han hurriedly said politely.

"Hey, we're not being polite to you, Xiao Shen, have you told Xiao Lu about the situation?"

"Not yet." Shen Hao said.

"Oh, you are really unreliable in your work!" Commander Shan glared at Shen Hao, "Xiaoye, how much do you know about the situation in the Suihe River?"

"Not much." Ye Han quickly replied, "To tell you the truth, before I received the mission, I had never heard of the Suihe River, and I only read some information before I set off."

His impulsive attitude of suppressing his cough was very correct.

"Then let me tell you." Commander Shan took out a cigarette and lit it, took a puff happily, and then exhaled heavily, pushing the cigarette case forward, "Xiaoye also want one?"

"No, no, I won't." Ye Han quickly declined, joking, he was also a person who went to aviation school back then, dare to smoke and not let the instructor smoke to death?

"We're not polite as soldiers." Commander Shan continued to give way.

"Commander, I really can't." Ye Han continued to decline,

"Then we won't be polite to you." Commander Shan took another puff, "Our Suihe River is a good place with mountains and waters. The rivers are densely covered with forests, so the muddy environment is especially suitable for insects to breed. The whole southern Xinjiang is full of insects. The most powerful place is our Suihe River."

While speaking, he stretched out his fingers and tapped heavily on the table, constantly using body movements to strengthen his tone.

Commander Shan took another puff, at least a quarter of the cigarette was burnt, and after exhaling the smoke, he continued, "Our Suihe River is not far from the border. Forty kilometers to the south is the national border, and the other end of the border is Southeast Asia." The land boundary, the national border is full of virgin forests, that place is inaccessible, even our local people seldom go there, and when the bugs don’t start, you can still watch a few people, and after the bugs, no one dares to approach them at all. , Now, no one knows how many bugs are hidden there." To be continued.
