Armor Frenzy

After the fleet took off, the soldiers finally had a chance to stop and have a bite to eat.

The airport is still shrouded in poisonous smoke. The soldiers can only get into the armored vehicle in batches, and then wait for the three-proof equipment of the armored vehicle to remove the poisonous smoke from the vehicle, and then take off their helmets to rest and eat.

The process is a little more troublesome, but it is very good to have a chance to eat real food. If there are no armored vehicles, the soldiers can only rely on liquid food to satisfy their hunger.

But American soldiers don't like to eat liquid food. In their words, the taste is a mess, and the taste in the mouth is similar to that of salted snot. It is as disgusting as it is said.

In fact, the taste of the liquid food used by the U.S. military armor is not so bad. Not only is there a lack of nutritional energy, but also a variety of flavors such as broth, chocolate, peanut butter, and fruit to choose from. It’s just that the American soldiers have been spoiled by Uncle Sam. a situation.

The Pentagon also wants to improve the taste of emergency liquid food, but it has no idea how to improve it, and the cost is also a big problem, so the soldiers on the front line have been scolding for several years and have not solved the problem.

It was getting late, and several rows of emergency lights were lit at the airport, illuminating the inside and outside of the defense line.

Regardless of the front or the Djibouti base, the atmosphere is extremely solemn.

If the giant ants still maintain the ant's living habits, then they should have returned to the nest to rest long ago, but the reality is that the giant ants have no intention of leaving at all.

This is not a good phenomenon. The commander ordered the troops to save the poisonous smoke bombs as much as possible, and at the same time strengthened the front-line observation force, ordered the troops to immediately report to the command center once they found the ant colony approaching, and apply for air support to the space fleet.

In addition to this, construction of the forward base had to be carried out overnight, with machine gun turrets, power grids and other defensive equipment in place as quickly as possible.

Tonight will be destined to be a sleepless night, but in order to ensure that the airport has sufficient defense, the commander arranged for one-third of the soldiers to rest, and the rest are divided into two waves, responsible for guarding and cleaning up.

Under the cover of poisonous smoke bombs, the long and tense night finally came to an end. At dawn, the forward base built on the airport was initially formed, and the defense equipment was basically installed. The soldiers could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Immediately, the soldiers were surprised to find that all the giant ant corpses outside the defense line had disappeared, and even the broken pieces were picked up, leaving only some broken small pieces of ant shells.

People who knew that ants had the habit of collecting corpses began to popularize science with their comrades, and the soldiers couldn't help but be amazed.

Morrobida's climate is hot and humid. In this environment, the corpse of any creature will rot at an extremely fast rate. If the corpses of giant ants outside the defense line are not cleaned up, the result will inevitably rot rapidly, attracting a large number of flies. , a series of unfavorable developments such as the breeding of massive bacteria.

Even if the ant colony does not collect corpses, the U.S. military will not sit by and watch the massive ant corpses naturally decay.

Probably because the battle on the previous day was too intense, the multinational force was not in a hurry to start operations. All morning, they worked hard to consolidate the base. All kinds of defense facilities were piled up at the airport without money. From night to noon the next day, thousands of tons of supplies were delivered to the advance base.

At about 1 o'clock in the afternoon, clouds gradually formed over Morrobida, and the advance base and the Djibouti command center entered a state of combat readiness simultaneously, and the news of the request for air support was sent to the Chinese base in advance.

The news was transferred to Tiangong, and the temporary fleet suspended over Africa lowered its suspension orbit and prepared to support the ground.

After two o'clock in the afternoon, the torrential rain came as promised, and the poisonous smoke that had been floating inside and outside the base for more than ten hours was dissipated by the rain. The ant colony that had been about to move all morning in the distance finally found an opportunity and rushed to the temporary base like a sea tide. The moving ant colony did not run far, and they gathered together one by one, and the embryonic form of the ant ball appeared.

Synthetic aperture radar on space battleships penetrates dark clouds and keenly picks up changes on the ground. With the commander's order, the three warships loaded shells at the same time. The fire control equipment calculated the advance and immediately launched saturated shelling on the rolling ant ball!

The ant ball is still far from the defense line, and even if the shells deviate from the target, they will not be able to hit the defense line. There is no need to worry about the accidental injury of the Space Fleet.

This is the first time that the space fleet has carried out large-scale ground shelling, and its density and intensity are unprecedented. If it is only supporting operations in Africa, it is impossible for the North to spend such a large cost. Earth saturation attack capability.

The streamlined artillery shell fell much faster than the missile. It flew from the outer space to the ground in a short time. The ant ball that was rolling in the heavy rain was gradually approaching the defense line. The artillery shell that fell from the sky suddenly hit the side of the ant colony, and the ant ball was exploding. Shaky in.

The fire of the explosion just rose, and dozens of shells all smashed into the vicinity of the ant ball in a very short time. The explosion not only penetrated the ant ball, but completely shattered the ant ball. The ants exploded.

The giant ants near where the shells landed suffered heavy losses and countless casualties.

The soldiers of the multinational force were stunned at first, and then gave out a thunderous cheer.

The soldiers on the front line have no heart to care about the dirty things above. They can only see in front of them and only know that the support of the Chinese space fleet is very powerful.

The artillery bombardment continued. Each ant ball hits several shells. If it misses, another round will be added. The more concentrated the giant ants, the better the shelling effect will be.

The soldiers couldn't help but sigh~www.readwn.com~ If yesterday's battle could also have such accurate artillery support, how could it be so hard?

After the half-hour shelling ended, the soldiers suddenly found that more and more giant ants rushed towards the defense line, and new ant **** were forming.

The same thought popped into the minds of many soldiers: Why did the shelling stop?

It's strange that the three warships in the fleet have fired more than 1,000 tons of artillery shells during this period of time, which has already consumed most of the ship's inventory. Before getting supplies, the remaining shells must be left for emergency.

According to post-war statistics, the space fleet's bombardment blew up more than 100 ant balls, and the number of giant ants destroyed could not be counted. During the half hour, very few lucky ants had a chance to climb to the defense line.

But avoiding the shelling was their last luck. As long as they got close to the defense line, the giant ants would be killed by large-caliber automatic machine guns, and the defense situation of the forward base was completely reversed.

The shelling did not stop completely. Once a new ant ball was formed, there would always be a cannonball falling from the sky to disperse the ant ball, but the scattered giant ants had to be dealt with by the defense system.
