Chapter 45: The casualties are exhausted and the worms swarm
The 011 position is actually only a few kilometers away from the 013 position, but its location is more important because it guards the road between the front and rear, and the main task of defending the inside is to ensure the smoothness of this traffic road, and at the same time intercept the insects passing through here as much as possible.
When they arrived at the position, they saw the ground full of scars, full of insects and corpses of sacrificed soldiers. On the battlefield where the smoke was still filled, there were only a dozen soldiers left gently gathering the bodies of the sacrificed soldiers, although most of them were incomplete.
Seeing all this, some soldiers walked up to help silently.
"Don't go all the way, enter the position, repair the bunker, 1st row replaces the shells for Lu Shield, and the insects come back at any time, cheer me up!" The battalion commander said in a low voice.
The tragic level of the battle exceeded the expectations of everyone in the 13th Battalion, and it also made everyone feel particularly heavy. Such terrible insect attacks and such tragic casualties might be their turn soon. How should they deal with it at that time, and how many people will be sacrificed?!
The two battalion commanders silently handed over the defense, without much words, only silent eye contact.
The battalion commander of the 11th Battalion left with only a dozen remaining soldiers not long after a car suddenly rushed over from the front line. After the car entered the position, it dropped a small box. The officer in the car told me that there were important things inside, so that I must read them carefully and then leave quickly.
"What's the matter?" A company commander opened the box and saw that there were more than a dozen booklets inside. He picked up one and flipped through two pages. There were bugs on it, and there were also text descriptions below.
"This is?!"
This booklet is a simple manual compiled by the frontline staff. It records the vast majority of the bugs that appear now, their points and the most effective killing methods. This is the experience obtained by using the blood and sacrifice of a large number of warriors.
"Send it to every class and order everyone to remember it tightly!"
The booklet was quickly sent down, and then the soldiers began to circulate.
Bloodsucking insects, green patterns, mantis insects, earthworms... all the things they have seen and have never mentioned have been written into this booklet, and their dangerous levels are simply described and divided.
Wang Ling and his friends once learned this booklet when they were trained at the military base in the rear, but it was a little different. Now, several new types of bugs have appeared in the booklet distributed.
Wang Ling looked carefully and except for the bugs described above in the first few pages that they could compete with, the bugs behind them all added a sentence at the beginning of the introduction.
Extremely dangerous!
"Platform leader, have you distributed such booklets before?"
"Well, I have distributed one, but there are very few bug types recorded, and the content is not as detailed as this one. You all take a closer look. This is related to your life and death in battle.
"What are you thinking?" Seeing Wang Ling looking at the road leading to the battlefield ahead, Zang Wuyang lowered a cigarette.
"Nothing?" Wang Ling took the cigarette and twisted it but didn't smoke it.
Get ready for the battle!
At this moment, a loud roar suddenly came.
Some bugs are coming!
What is this time?
"Be careful, this time we are likely to be an ant insect!"
"What?!" The soldiers who heard the news were shocked.
Ant worms can only rush a few centimeters, and the size of a cockroach is similar to an ant, with short wings on the back and cannot fly for a long time, but the speed is very fast. Such a small worm should not cause such a strong reaction from everyone. Indeed, it is nothing if it is just one, but ant worms are swarming insects, and once they appear, they flock like water. Tens of thousands. Their first appearance will cause an unprepared reinforcement battalion to be destroyed. Even if they already know them, now when fighting, these small sizes and move quickly, the large number of ant worms are still the enemies that the soldiers are least willing to encounter.
"There is movement underground!" shouted the soldier who was in charge of monitoring the earthquake detector.
"Earth-mounted insects, or an ant insect?"
"Don't let it get close to the fortifications and blow it out!"
Whoosh, a red beam of light shone out and landed from a distance. Then shells and rockets fell there, blowing out a large pit on the ground, but there was nothing inside.
“It’s still moving.”
It's approaching!
Rumble, the explosion is getting closer and closer to the fortifications.
Crack, a big hole was suddenly broken on the ground, and then a terrainworm stuck out the hideous head of the insect from inside, and a fierce rain of bullets shot towards it. It bit a bag of sandbags with its mouthparts covered with tentacles and sharp teeth. Then it wanted to return but was hit by a small-caliber grenade and finally killed it.
The bombarded insect head emitted a disgusting smell, and suddenly, the insect moved again.
"What's going on?"
"Be careful, there is something underneath!"
Zhou Xiaohan, who had extraordinary vision, found that several insects were drilled out below the killed terrestrial worm. It was only a few centimeters in size, and looked like a cockroach, with short wings on the back.
Ant insect!
The first few were just a guide, and the subsequent ant insects rushed out from the ground like a spring. A large area was pitch black, which made people feel cold. After they gushed out from the ground, they rushed towards the nearby soldiers. They were very small in size, but they flew at an extremely fast speed with the help of the broken wings behind them.
Dada, gunfire sounded, but the lethality of these ant insects in ordinary bullet teams is really limited.
They quickly flew to the warriors, used their sharp teeth to tear open the warriors' combat uniforms, then quickly bit off their skin, drilled into their bodies, and shuttled wildly inside, destroying the warriors.
ah!
One by one, they took off their clothes almost without reason and scratched their bodies crazily. They could see protrusions appearing and disappearing under the skin of their bodies, which were ant worms passing through their bodies. Bang, a warrior's body suddenly broke dozens of blood holes, and then ant worms flew out from inside. His body was like a broken sack that was bitten by a group of mice, and fell heavily to the ground.
Bang, a soldier who could not bear the pain directly penetrated his pistol and pulled the trigger on his temple.
Go away!
