Four Hundred and Eighty Third River Defense

There is no problem in the upper reaches of the Huangsha River. Ye Han turned his attention to the lower reaches, and found a group of wolves on the north bank without any surprise. He couldn't help asking worriedly on the radio: "Old Bian, can the lower reaches be held?"

"I don't know either." Bian Ge replied, "I will do my best to obey the destiny."

Deploying defenses along rivers is nothing new. As early as the beginning of the pest outbreak, the military used natural rivers to build an insect-proof network to firmly limit the expansion of giant ants and prevent the ant colony from getting out of control.

In order to defend against the giant worms, the military conducted a comprehensive understanding of the river systems across the country and formulated corresponding defense plans. For this matter, the military blew up 8,000 or 10,000 bridges, except for the main bridges. It's not negotiable.

However, the foundation of all the military's river bank defense lines is that the water volume of the river system is large enough. Even if it does not reach the level of natural barriers like the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, it must at least have such rigid conditions as a river width of 100 meters and a water depth of five feet. Otherwise, Insects can cross the river wherever they want, so what's the use of the so-called river bank defense line?

Bian Ge never thought that one day he would encounter such a bad thing. How could a shallow river stop the swarm?

The problem is that these words are too frustrating. Even if everyone is like a bright mirror in their hearts, he, the leader, cannot say it openly.

The swarm came suddenly, and many citizens living on the north bank did not have time to evacuate. Staying by the river can buy enough time for the residents on the south bank to evacuate.

In addition, deserts are everywhere in the north of Shayuan, and there are almost no cities and villages. However, there are many densely populated cities and towns in the Huangsha River Basin. Once they are attacked by insect swarms, they will suffer heavy losses.

The trouble is not limited to the sand source. To the south of the Huangsha River Basin, the desert is gradually decreasing, the vegetation is increasing, and the density of the city is also increasing. Any river whose hydrological conditions are suitable for deployment.

Once the swarm breaks through the defense line of the Huangsha River, the swarm can gain a strategic depth of more than 300 kilometers wide from north to south and 500 to 600 kilometers long from east to west, posing a huge threat to this area.

Ye Han's current military rank is lieutenant colonel, and he is considered a mid-level officer in the army. Even if they only understand the tactical command of small units because of the special organization of the mobile army, they still understand a little bit of strategic considerations.

How can the swarm be stopped?

Even if the swarm is successfully covered with firepower, it is impossible to wipe out the swarm. It is unrealistic to wipe out the swarm. Looking at the current situation, the most appropriate way is to prevent the swarm from going south.

Ye Han pondered,

While moving his gaze to the upstream, when he saw the construction machinery in the middle of the river, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind: "Old Bian, is there a hydropower station upstream?"

Bian Ge was slightly taken aback, and then suddenly realized: "I'm busy, please contact the garrison headquarters!"

"Okay!" The enthusiastic Ye Han sent a message to the garrison headquarters: "Commander Yu, is there a hydropower station in the upper reaches of the Huangsha River?"

"Yes, there is one." Commander Yu replied in surprise.

Ye Han was so excited that he almost jumped out of the car: "Commander Yu, immediately contact the hydropower station to release the water, raise the water level of the Huangsha River, and prevent the swarms from crossing the river!"

Commander Yu was overjoyed and then surprised at first, he was speechless with a bitter face.

There was no movement on the radio, but Ye Han was so anxious: "Commander Yu? Commander Yu?"

"I'm here!" Although Commander Yu was bitter, he still decided to tell the truth, "Captain Ye, we are in a semi-desert area."

Ye Han was slightly startled: "I know, what's wrong?"

"The reservoir is emptied, so what do so many people drink?"

Ye Han was speechless immediately, he couldn't solve this kind of thing.

Ordinarily, the swarms of insects are pressing on every step, and the northern capital will probably evacuate all the people in the urban area of ​​Shayuan, but no one dares to guarantee this before the order is issued. What about the Shahe line of defense?

At that time, hundreds of thousands of people will have no water to eat. Who will take the blame?

Ye Han changed his mind and asked again: "What about the inflatable dam? Is there any more?"

"I don't know, I have to ask the city government..."

A dull whistling sound suddenly entered Ye Han's ears, and he suddenly raised his head to look in the direction of the whistling sound, not sure whether the sound came from a rocket or a missile.

The possibility of it being the plane is very small. It is not that Ye Han has good ears and eyes, and has the ability to hear the difference with his ears. It is because the time is too short. It takes time for the airport to receive the order and arrange for the plane to mount the bomb. From reporting the situation to now In less than ten minutes, the bomber can be dragged out of the hangar, which is not bad.

The fighters on combat readiness are all fighter planes. Although they also have the ability to attack the ground, the bomb load of the fighter planes is limited. Unless a fleet is dispatched, the ammunition they carry is simply not enough to cover the north shore swarm.

Ye Han's sharp gaze quickly caught a few fast-moving black dots in the air. He activated the telephoto function of the armor and took a closer look. It was indeed a group of slender things. Unfortunately, missiles and rockets look similar, unless they are launched I saw it before, otherwise I wouldn't be able to tell what was flying above.

To be honest, he doesn't care about what is in the sky, he only cares about whether that thing can kill the bugs.

The group of unknown things in the sky were extremely fast, and they flew over the sand source in a blink of an eye. The worms had never had air defense capabilities, so the rocket missiles used to deal with giant worms had no terminal maneuvering function at all. So straight and straight they fell from the sky, and they didn't hit each other, but along the north bank of the Huangsha River, dropping one at a certain distance.

The distance is getting closer, and there is a suitable reference object, Ye Han can understand the size of those things, these are missiles, not rockets!

Nothing else, these big guys are too thick, long-range rockets are thinner and longer, much slimmer than missiles.

The first sub-bomb fell into the swarm, and Ye Han suddenly saw an inconspicuous explosion in the swarm. The place where the explosion followed was full of fire and rain, and every drop of rain dragged white smoke trails towards the four hundred and eighth. The main spread is like a huge white chrysanthemum suddenly blooming on the battlefield. Every wolf insect hit by raindrops jumps up and down like ants on a hot pot, and even bites its companions and jumps into the river to commit suicide.

Ye Han blurted out: "White phosphorus bomb!"

A large white phosphorous bomb landed on the north bank of the Huangsha River, and countless white chrysanthemums were in full bloom, representing death. The fleeing wolves died tragically on the north bank, and the burning smell even crossed the Huangsha River and entered the nostrils of the defenders on the south bank.
