Four Hundred and Forty Eight Airdrops
The defensive pressure on residential areas has been greatly reduced by air strikes, but air strikes cannot replace face-to-face defensive operations, and the battle surrounding residential areas continues.
Ye Han and Battalion Commander Zhou still don't know that this is the first large-scale contact between humans and biochemical giant insects, and it is also the first time that the modern warfare system has collided head-on with biochemical giant insects.
The situation in the residential area is not very good, but the overall situation is still dominated by humans.
It's just that the cost invested is really disproportionate to the results obtained, and it is an undoubted loss-making business.
But neither Zhongnanhai nor the military has given up on Eyama's idea.
Twenty-two minutes after the fighter group left Eshan, an army aviation formation composed of twelve armed helicopters arrived near Eshan.
According to the data provided by HNA and satellites, the helicopter formation is directly dotted with spiders flying to Mount Eshan.
The first time they saw a flying giant spider, the pilots were a little amazed, but the formation quickly approached the target and entered the mission state, mainly using machine guns and supplemented by missiles, to attack the giant spider in the air in an all-round way.
HNA's combat aircraft were too fast to accurately strike the floating giant spiders, and the slow helicopters had a stronger strike capability in this situation.
The giant spiders hanging in the air had no power to fight back, and were wiped out in large numbers by the helicopter formation. The giant spiders that came to their senses instinctively let go of their balloon-like silk webs, spewed out spider silk and slid to the ground.
The helicopter formation immediately separated several planes to deal with the escaping giant spiders.
The pilots soon discovered that there was no need to deal with the giant spider so carefully, they only needed to fly the plane over the flying giant spider, and the strong downdraft would destroy the silk web that the giant spider relied on to fly, making the floating Flying giant spiders fell down in pieces.
But this method is not particularly effective. The falling giant spider will spit out spider silk in mid-air to slow down the speed of descent, and the ground is full of woods. There is a high probability that the spider silk spit out by the giant spider will hang on the tree and escape the fall. The fate of death.
In desperation, the helicopter formation could only use force again to deal with the giant spider.
How can the pilots not feel depressed after going around in a circle and returning to the original point?
Fifty-four minutes after Hainan Airlines withdrew, the transport plane formation arrived over Mount Eshan.
The Eshan people, who had already been prepared, lit more than a dozen bonfires in the residential area to point out the airdrop direction for the transport plane in the air.
After a while, dozens of tightly packed boxes were separated from the transport plane, hung under parachutes and fell leisurely.
A few minutes later, the headquarters received a report that only eleven of the more than thirty airdropped packages landed in the designated airborne area, and the remaining nineteen all fell outside the residential area!
Battalion Commander Zhou was startled, and immediately said on the radio: "Immediately unpack the box, organize the reserve forces to equip weapons, deploy vehicles while ensuring the safety of the residential area, and recover the scattered weapons."
After finishing speaking, Commander Zhou looked at Ye Han: "Captain Ye, I need your assistance."
"No problem, what do we need to do?" Ye Han agreed bluntly.
"My people lack protection and cannot get out of the vehicle. I plan to equip each armored vehicle with two mobile soldiers who will be responsible for recovering equipment from the vehicle."
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away, how many cars do you smoke?" Ye Han asked.
"Ten, ten at most." Battalion Commander Zhou said.
Ye Han was startled, and said with a wry smile: "We only have a dozen of us, and our armored vehicles can also go out."
"Then it will be based on the head." Battalion Commander Zhou said, "Your vehicles should be kept. Wheeled armored vehicles have poor adaptability, and our amphibious tanks have better adaptability."
"Listen to you, where to gather?" Ye Han said.
The soldiers of the armored battalion also used 30mm machine guns, which made him subconsciously think that the armored battalion used tracked armored vehicles, but he did not expect that they were actually amphibious tanks.
This thing must be able to float on the sea, and its own weight cannot be too high. It is completely understandable that it is only heavier than an armored vehicle.
"Just over there at the bridge." Battalion Commander Zhou said.
Both of them are activists, and immediately arranged the plan, and after a while,
All the mobile soldiers and seven amphibious tanks were assembled at the designated location.
There is no need to mobilize or talk nonsense, Ye Han gave an order, and everyone sat in groups on the navy tanks - the interior space of the tanks is too small, and the power armor takes up too much space, and the mobile suits simply cannot get into the tanks.
Seven vehicles drove across the bridge one by one. Just as the amphibious tank was driving to the middle of the bridge, several soaring fire dragons suddenly shot out from the periphery of the residential area, burning a dozen giant spiders near the opposite bank into flaming candle ends.
The giant spider poses a certain threat to the power armor, but as long as you pay attention, the possibility of being attacked by the giant spider is very small. The scattered seven armored vehicles did not make it easy to find the scattered packing boxes, and killed many giant spiders along the way.
Before dawn, sixteen of the nineteen packing boxes scattered outside were recovered, and the defense situation gradually became clear, so there was no need to rush to find the last three packing boxes.
This is because the power armor has to go back to the living area to replace the battery every once in a while, otherwise it would not waste so much time.
After dawn, the military conducted a comprehensive analysis of the situation in Eshan through satellites. The analysis not only determined the approximate number of giant spiders, but also found out the location of the last three packing boxes.
After a simple breakfast, the troops were about to set out to retrieve the last three packing boxes, when Ye Han suddenly heard An Dongli's call: "Captain, a communication from Beidu!"
"Forward it to me!" Seeing the instruction that the communication equipment is ready, Ye Han immediately said on the radio, "I am Ye Han!"
"I am the Beidu Command Center, Captain Ye. The command has a new task for you."
Ye Han sighed quietly: "I promise to complete the task!" Having said that, he knew very well in his heart that the order from Beidu must be a big trouble.
"Don't shout slogans." The person on the radio said very pragmatically, "I need your troops, catch me a few giant spiders alive and send them back."
"Catch the giant spider alive?" Ye Han asked in surprise.
"That's right, the giant spider is very valuable for experimentation. We can find the weakness of the giant spider through research. It's best for me to use it. Is there any difficulty?"
"I need an anesthetic."
"No problem, the airdrop has been arranged, and the helicopter has also been arranged. After catching the giant spider, report to me directly, and I will arrange the rest."
"What about the exact quantity? What about the male-to-female ratio?"
"There are males and females, and you arrange the rest yourself."
"clear."
The communication was interrupted, and Ye Han immediately said on the radio: "Brothers, there is work to be done!"
"No way!" Xiao Yuan wailed, "I haven't slept all night."
"It's never too late to go to bed after the task is completed." Ye Han said, "Our new task is to catch a few giant spiders, and now we will start to solve personal problems, and we will leave in five minutes!"
