Chapter 244: Let's Wash the Ground!
Subsequently, Xu Yuan climbed the wall again and found Ning Hui with a dignified face.
"What's going on now?"
"The fuel reserves in the base have been depleted by 40%, and the rate of fuel production is far from keeping up with the consumption, and if we continue like this, I am afraid that in three days we will not be able to remove the corpse of the radiation beast." Ning Hui's face was full of sadness.
Looking at the expression on his face, Xu Yuan smiled and said, "I have solved the problem of gasoline. ”
Thinking that this time has only passed for a small half a day, even if Xu Yuan is no longer able to get a lot of gasoline, so Ning Hui smiled bitterly and said, "One or two barrels of gasoline can't solve the problem at all, there is not much grease in the body of the radiation beast, and it takes almost 500 liters of gasoline to ignite the corpse under one wall, and we now have four walls." ”
"Is 50 gasoline enough?" Jiang Chen said with a smile.
50!!
Finally reacted, Ning Hui's eyes widened, "50 barrels? How many liters? ”
"180 liters, it's already in the warehouse."
"50 barrels, 180 liters, a total of 9000 liters! Hahaha! That's great! Overjoyed, Ning Hui slammed his fist on the table, then raised his hand and pressed it on the headset, "Pay attention to the crematorium, prepare to go to the warehouse to get fuel." Burn him for me! ”
"Roger!"
Looking at Ning Hui's ecstatic appearance, Xu Yuan smiled and continued, "You don't have to worry about fuel, I will get another batch in a few days, be sure to guard the wall, don't save me, understand?" ”
"Understood!" Ning Hui roared excitedly.
The 50 barrels of gasoline brought by Xu Yuan undoubtedly solved the urgent need, as for how he got it, Ning Hui didn't care at all.
As a qualified subordinate, he only needs to complete the tasks assigned to him step by step!
Night combat is very disadvantageous for the survivors, not only will the soldier's vision be obstructed, but it will also accelerate combat fatigue.
Although there is such a thing as a night vision device, it is impossible to do one for thousands of soldiers, so the strategy adopted by Ning Hui is still physical lighting.
Every once in a while, the mortar fires several flares into the sky, lighting up the battlefield with its bright white glow.
Although it does not make the battlefield as bright as daylight, it is enough to provide a view for soldiers who aim and shoot.
On the other hand, on the Radiant Beasts' side, the night has brought them a lot of advantages.
Completely free from the shackles of the sun, these beasts are as fierce as a drug.
The pouring of gasoline every five hours was the only respite for the soldiers entrenched in the wall.
Only the sea of fire in the sky could make the radiant beasts instinctively awe and stop attacking the colony.
However, when the fire cleared, the tidal wave of the offensive continued.
As the head of the defense team, Ning Hui didn't close his eyes much all night, and only was a little confused for a while when he poured gasoline twice and burned it.
The next morning, the Radfur's attack ceased slightly.
Even in the Beast Tide, the density of the Radiant Beasts is not absolutely uniform.
Often, when a wave of beasts ends, there will be a long or short vacuum period, and the manor is safe until new radiant beasts roam the area.
Standing on the fence, the scene outside is really spectacular.
The walls were burned black, and the carbon slag and ashes on the ground looked black and white, exuding a disgusting smell of burning.
Gasoline burned seven or eight meters of open space outside the wall, and beyond that there was still a sea of corpses and bones.
The remains of the radiant beasts began to emit a foul stench, and the radiant mosquitoes and flies surrounded the rotting corpses, and the flies with the size of the basin and the length of the thighs of the mosquitoes could not help but make people's scalps tingle.
"That's the end of it?" Standing on the wall, Xu Yuan asked Ning Hui beside him.
"It's just getting started." Putting down the binoculars, Ning Hui sighed and said.
"How long does it take for that to end?" Xu Yuan asked helplessly.
"When they're full, or they're all killed."
All living beings have a sense of living space, and when the number exceeds a certain threshold and there is not enough food in a certain range, they will expand outward and seek more food.
It is impossible to wait for the beast tide to end just by waiting, and this war can only be ended by killing all these migrating radiation beasts.
If not, then you can only give up your territory and migrate to distant places.
With a sigh, Ning Hui said, "Boss, let's go, let's go down, it won't be safe on the wall later." ”
Squinting his eyes at the increasingly dense black mass in the distance, Xu Yuan frowned, turned around and walked down the wall.
Mutant flies and mutant mosquitoes are here again!
Because of the appearance of flying xenomorphs, Shen Xi urgently evacuated the survivors in the base and moved them to the air-raid shelter.
These flying creatures can easily jump over the wall, which is undoubtedly a disaster for the ordinary survivors in the base, and they can only hide in bomb shelters at this time.
Separated from Ning Hui, Xu Yuan went straight to the command room and saw Chen Bei, who was still here.
I saw her arms crossed and staring indifferently at the holographic topographic map on the desktop.
The red and blue dots on the map are staggered, marking their own and enemy forces, judging from the distribution of troops alone, Zhao Wenlong has the upper hand, but the expression on her face at this moment is not much relaxed.
"What's going on with the Radiant Man?" Xu Yuan asked straight to the point.
"Something isn't good." Chen Bei's voice was slightly solemn.
……
Security Zone 9201, an empty city that has been slaughtered by the Radiants.
After mobilizing troops, Zhao Wenlong set up a temporary operational headquarters here.
At this moment, he was standing in front of the holographic map, pointing at the main roads on the map with his fingers, and then dragged out an attacking red arrow, giving orders to his team.
"Attention Team 1, the Radiant Man has deployed a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns in the rear positions, and your mission is to break through their infantry lines and eliminate their anti-aircraft machine gun positions along this route. Do you understand! ”
"Understood!"
"Attention of the 2 teams, from ...... Beep beep," Zhao Wenlong shook his hand violently and sat back in his chair helplessly.
The distant sky flashes red, a phenomenon that occurs after the explosion of an electromagnetic interference bomb, which can interrupt radio communications in the area within an hour.
This kind of radio communication shielding is effective for both the enemy and us, and without command, the troops fighting on the front line can only maintain their current deployment and fight independently.
This boring trick can only stall for time, and neither side can redeploy its forces.
However, it seems that the Radiants don't need to make any new deployments, and as the defenders, all they need to do is hold on.
The continuous sound of artillery fire in the distance made Zhao Wenlong feel upset for a while, and the delaying tactics of the radiation people made him feel very uneasy.
There are a lot of good things in the opponent's hands, which also shows that the supporters behind the other party are very confident.
In addition to those headache-inducing anti-tank guns and mortars, the other side even has tactical nuclear bombs!
Those light infantry who were not protected by armored forces fell in an instant, although the dead were basically slaves summoned along the way, Zhao Wenlong was not particularly distressed.
It's not distressed, it's not distressed, but the battle situation is scorching.
In order to prevent the radioactive people and tactical nuclear bombs from being useless, Zhao Wenlong had no choice but to stretch the front and abandon the strategy of group attack.
Now, he can be very sure that there must be humans in command among these radiant people, otherwise with this group of brutes who will become crazy when they see human flesh, they will not resist only defending and not attacking!
……
"Zhao Wenlong's offensive is blocked, and I'm afraid we won't be able to conquer the position of the radiant people in the short term," Chen Bei said as he crossed his arms and looked at the holographic map.
"So what now?" Xu Yuan frowned.
"Judging from the existing ammunition reserves over there, ten days at most, if we can't break through the defense line within ten days, I'm afraid we will have to give up." Chen Bei said a little unwillingly.
If you give up continuing the attack and mobilize Zhao Wenlong to return to the defense with the soldiers, it means that the expedition plan is only half completed.
Later, after Zhao Wenlong withdrew, the Radiant people could regain their original land, and then spend the long winter to recuperate.
And if the manor side suffered heavy losses in the beast tide, then the Radiant people would undoubtedly take the opportunity to attack.
If the xenomorph tide continues until this time next year, it goes without saying that the manor will not be able to hold on until that time.
"Ammunition reserves?" Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows.
"The main thing is still mortar shells, and the reserves of light weapons and ammunition are quite sufficient." Chen Bei looked at Xu Yuan and said lightly.
A smile suddenly appeared on Xu Yuan's face, "I have a way, as long as there are enough shells to wash the ground, right?" ”
Chen Bei glanced at him in confusion, "Do you use a helicopter to transport it from the base to that side?" No, the reserves and production of shells here do not have the ability to support Zhao Wenlong at all. ”
You know, the daily demand for mortar shells on the manor is about 3-500 rounds, and in order to meet this consumption, the ammunition production line is already running at full speed.
Xu Yuan shook his head, "You don't need to get it from us, I have other channels!" ”
Limited by technological factors, the weapons of the earth are inferior to the weapons of the source star.
But if you simply want to slaughter the Radiant Beasts, the weapons on Earth are not necessarily much worse than the source star.
As soon as the ** shot over, it makes no difference whether there is precision guidance or not, except for those radiation beasts whose defense mobility is very dangerous, the rest of the estimates will be played in an instant!
In fact, the same is true for dealing with the Radiant Man, the anti-tank guns and individual rockets in their hands can indeed pose a great threat to Zhao Wenlong's armored force, if you get a tank to go to the front line, there is no doubt that the Radiant Man can destroy it with a single shot of the anti-tank gun.
But what if you get dozens of heavy mortars, or go straight to rocket artillery?
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan left the command room without saying a word, and then ran towards the warehouse again.
