Four Hundred and Eighty-Two Loopholes

The last giant insect on the bridge was shot to death, the fierce gunfire stopped abruptly, the south bank of the Huangsha River suddenly became quiet, and the sound of gurgling water under the bridge gradually became clear.

On the shore of the bridge, everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, but no one cheered for victory like in the movie.

The bombing of the bridge only blocked the insect swarm on the north bank of the Huangsha River, rather than completely eradicating the insect swarm. No one knew when the next battle would start. What lingered in everyone's mind was only heaviness and exhaustion, even if the wolves kept falling into the In the water, it can't make everyone feel better.

The traffic on both sides of the Huangsha River was interrupted, but the swarms of wolves did not retreat. A large number of wolf worms gathered on the north bank, and the edge could not be seen at a glance.

Ye Han stood beside Bian Ge, turned his head and suggested: "Should I come here for a while? After passing this village, there will be no such shop."

Bian Ge thought for a while and said, "Let me apply with my superiors. The superiors will decide what to do."

Bian Ge is a man of action. Now that he has made a decision, he immediately contacts Beidu and asks Beidu to destroy the North Shore swarm.

After the communication ended, Bian Ge nodded to Ye Han: "It's done."

"Really agreed?" Ye Han smiled happily, "Did the superior say to cover it with something?"

Bian Ge shook his head: "I'm sure you can use whatever is convenient."

There are many ways for the military to deal with this situation. They can cover the area with artillery fire, throw incendiary bombs, and use cluster bombs. Terminal sensitive bombs are also a good choice.

Guided weapons are the direction of the development of warfare. Relatively speaking, artillery coverage seems to be a tactic that should have been outdated long ago. However, after specific analysis of the specific situation, the key to whether the tactic is outdated depends on how it is used.

Weapons have their own uses. Using them correctly will get twice the result with half the effort, and using them wrong will get you twice the result with half the effort. Using guided weapons to deal with swarms of bugs is simply messing around. Large areas of fire coverage will be even more lethal to the swarms.

There are also three different options for weapon carriers: aircraft, cannons, and missiles. As for what to use, the cost and cost-effectiveness of weapons must be considered before the plague, and now the number of ammunition stocks and hit accuracy must be added.

The shortage of military supplies has not been a day or two. Although the military has not ordered any troops to save ammunition, all troops who understand the situation will save as much as they can, and try not to waste a second bullet if they can solve the target with one bullet.

In this case, a large amount of ammunition is needed to cover a large area of ​​the north bank with firepower, but having said that, the wolf worm has a fierce temperament and moves quickly.

There is a reason for so many wolves gathering on the north bank right now, and they may not be able to encounter similar opportunities in the future.

The two of them had a tacit understanding and didn't mention the garrison. It's not that they didn't want to mention it, but it was useless to mention it.

They all know the equipment level of the garrison. The entire Shayuan brigade has only two battalions of assault guns. It is said that the firepower of thirty-six assault guns is already very impressive. Even the main battle tanks of the last two battalions can compare. The firepower coverage, the assault gun is really not even a star.

To put it bluntly, even if the garrison destroyed all the thirty-six cannons, they would not be able to achieve the goal of covering the insect swarm on the north bank.

Bian Ge didn't just wait and watch the fun just because Beidu promised to implement fire coverage. In case the bombers were sent over, it would take a long time just to load the ammunition on the plane.

He thought for a while and ordered over the radio: "Attention all units, deploy defenses along the river in squads to prevent wolves from crossing the river."

After finishing speaking, he said to Ye Han alone: ​​"Take two squads to guard the bridgehead, and if the worms want to disperse, they can fire and gather together."

Ye Han was almost not happy: "No problem!"

I haven't been in contact with wolf worms for a long time, but the characteristics of this thing are too obvious. No matter where there is any movement, it will attract a bunch of wolves to watch. It is possible to bring the swarm back together.

Bian Ge looked at the upstream and downstream situation again, and suddenly turned around and waved at the second lieutenant.

The second lieutenant quickly ran to Bian Ge and saluted: "Chief, you are looking for me."

"Let me ask you, do you know everything about the river bank?"

"Understand a little." The second lieutenant said cautiously.

Bian Ge frowned: "How many troops have you deployed on the shore?"

"One row per bridge."

"What about the embankment?" Bian Ge asked again.

"I don't know." The second lieutenant said truthfully.

"Then do you know the hydrology of this river?" Bian Ge said with a trace of dissatisfaction.

Why are you yelling? As a soldier, how can you do it if you don't even know the terrain, rivers, mountains and rivers of the station?

The second lieutenant was taken aback, unable to utter a word.

Ye Han reminded in time: "How deep is the river, how wide is the river, etc."

The second lieutenant woke up like a dream: "The river is more than 200 meters wide. The deep part of the river is just over one meter, and the shallow part has no ankles. You can wade through it with your shoes and socks off."

Bian Ge was surprised: "So shallow? Isn't the urban area quite deep?"

The second lieutenant hurriedly explained: "An inflatable dam was installed downstream to artificially raise the depth of the river in the urban area... Our place is a semi-desert area, and the climate is dry. Before the dam, a small half of the river bed was above the water surface. "

Ye and Bian looked at each other, and Bian Ge asked urgently: "Do you know the depth of the upstream? Where can you go in the deep water area?"

"It's in the downtown area."

Bian Ge's face changed greatly: "Where is the dam, where is the dam located?"

"It's in the eastern suburbs." The second lieutenant suddenly realized something, and the blood on his face faded to pale.

Brother Bian immediately said: "Ye Han, you look at the upstream, I look at the downstream!"

"Okay!" Ye Han immediately called up the real-time satellite map to observe the situation in the upper reaches of the Huangsha River. "No bugs were found on the north bank of the upper reaches. According to preliminary judgment, the water depth is about one meter, so there is no problem for the time being."

When satellites take pictures of the ground at high altitude, they can only see the direction of the river, but not the depth of the river water. Unless the river bed is above the water surface, the water depth can be roughly judged by the area of ​​the river bed out of the water.

Under normal circumstances, Ye Han has no way of judging the depth of the upstream water, but he found several construction machinery in the middle of the river a few kilometers upstream from the urban area.

Bian Ge sent a screenshot of what he saw to Ye Han: "The situation in the downstream is very bad. There have been swarms of insects on the north bank, and no swarms have been found wading for the time being. Ye Han, you stay here with the third squadron and pay attention to the upstream." The situation. I will take the remaining two squadrons downstream to prevent the swarm from crossing the river...Second lieutenant!"

"Here!" The second lieutenant stood at attention instinctively, and a thought suddenly popped up in his mind: What about my business?

"Contact your superior and tell him to send people to the river bank immediately to establish a line of defense as quickly as possible."

"yes!"

"Squadron 1 and Squadron 2 get on board, follow me!" Bian Ge's voice rang through the radio, and more than 20 armored vehicles from the two squadrons quickly gathered and left in a hurry.
