Chapter 258: Time is Ticking
"Let's go!" With Qin Hao's order, a hundred all-terrain assault vehicles formed a minelaying vehicle brigade and set off in a majestic manner!
The convoy of 100 minelaying vehicles is definitely not powerful, if it encounters a swarm head-on, then it can be completely destroyed with just one force under the Copper Horn, but if these vehicles are allowed to bury all the spider mines they carry, then even if it is a leader's swarm, it will not be easy to survive!
"Full speed ahead!" Because Qin Hao had asked Prince Naxin to evacuate all the insect swarms on his path before, it was absolutely safe on the way.
"Yes!" The soldiers replied in unison, because Qin Hao was a hero-like existence in the Seventh Fleet, all the soldiers were proud to be able to fight side by side with Qin Hao, although these soldiers risked their lives to leave the impregnable human base and enter the field full of insect swarms, but they were not afraid, and the pilots controlled the all-terrain assault vehicles that they were sitting on, and galloped forward at high speed!
At this time, Qin Hao's assault car was the first, and he needed to lead the way for the convoy to the battlefield where minelaying was needed.
After a few hours of galloping, Qin Hao and the others finally came to Draco Canyon!
"The whole canyon must be densely mined!" Qin Hao ordered.
"Yes!" The fighters immediately drove into the canyon in their assault vehicles, and then began to lay spider mines from the other end of the canyon.
Modern spider mines are different from ancient mines, ancient mines are mechanically triggered, and after they are buried, they will not distinguish between friend and foe, and their own people will also be unlucky when they go up, but modern spider mines are equipped with a friend or foe identification system, when their own people pass by above, they will lie quietly on the ground, once the enemy comes, even if they do not step on the mines, these spider mines will also identify the enemy within a certain range, and take the initiative to climb out and rush to the enemy, blowing them up into fireworks!
"Sir! This canyon is very large, and if we use a dense formation of mines, we will not have enough mines to carry! A minelayer ran over to Qin Hao and said.
"Isn't that much thunder enough?" Qin Hao was stunned for a moment, after all, he has a specialization in the art industry, he is not a professional minelayer, and he doesn't know how far away a spider mine can achieve the maximum killing effect, so it is inevitable to misestimate the dosage!
"Sir, we can reduce the density of spider mines!" Minebing suggested.
"No! The density must not be reduced! These bugs must be given the maximum damage! "Qin Hao knew very well how worthless those ordinary giant beetles were among the Zerg, and now they were facing a different enemy.
In the past, when there was a war between human beings, once they encountered a mine array, then they must first clear the mines, and then pass through, after all, human life is precious, although it takes time to clear mines, but it is not as expensive as human life.
But the bugs are different, the low-level bugs are very worthless, they must take the method of mine-riding, which requires a more dense mine arrangement to slow down the enemy's footsteps!
"Send a message to the base and ask them to send a truck to transport the spider mines!" Qin Hao said to the communication soldier beside him.
"Yes!" The communications soldier nodded and immediately sent a message to the human base on Isis Beach.
……
"Does Qin Hao need more spider mines?" James was stunned for a moment after receiving the news, and then he asked the adjutant, "Do we still have extra spider mines?" ”
"Report to your lord, we still have a lot of spider mines, and the fleet has brought us a lot of these things, and they are all piled up in the warehouse!" The adjutant said that because the all-terrain assault vehicle has a limited capacity, it does not carry a lot of spider mines.
"Arrange a convoy to transport them immediately!" James immediately ordered.
"My lord, our troops are not enough to protect the car, right!" The adjutant reminded that because there were insect swarms everywhere after leaving the base, and the target of the transport vehicle was large, it would be difficult to move an inch without heavy protection!
"Is this ......" James hesitated for a moment, and then said to the adjutant: "Since Qin Hao asked us to transport the spider mine, it means that the road is already safe, and there is no need to send troops to protect it, just let the convoy go!" ”
"Yes! Sir! Since James had said so, of course the adjutant had no opinion, and he immediately sent the order out.
Soon, a large pair of transports set off from the human base, and they drove mightily towards Drake Canyon, although the speed was not fast and the target was large, but they did not encounter any resistance.
"It's weird! Do the bugs know we're here to help them? A truck driver muttered to himself.
"It's hard to say, I heard the officers say when they chatted, don't look at low-level insects, they only know the fierce charge that is not afraid of death, but high-level insects have high intelligence, and it is said that they are not weaker than humans!" The deputy said.
"Really?" The driver asked.
"I don't know, I also listened to the officers when they were chatting......" The deputy rolled his eyes.
"Forget it, whatever! It's better if there is no ambush, if there is an ambush, we will live to the end......" The truck driver shook his head and continued driving.
……
"Sir, all the existing spider mines have been laid!" A low-ranking officer ran over and reported to Qin Hao.
"Hmmm! Wait a minute, the follow-up spider thunder will arrive soon! Qin Hao nodded, and then asked, "How is the progress of the layout now?" ”
"Report sir, spider mines are now covering a third of the canyon!" The officer replied.
"Excellent! Brothers, work harder! Qin Hao nodded, then turned around and walked towards the edge of the cliff.
After coming to the bottom of the cliff, Qin Hao jumped up, and then quickly climbed to the top of the cliff, this cliff is very steep, even the giant beetle is difficult to climb, Qin Hao spent almost ten minutes to climb to the top of the cliff more than 100 meters high.
Qin Hao stood on the top of the cliff and looked into the distance, and with the advantage of his eyesight, he found billowing smoke and dust in the extreme distance, and the big trees that kept falling.
"At this rate, the bugs will arrive in another fifteen hours......" Qin Hao took a deep breath and then began to estimate the time.
"Almost, it should work!" After muttering to himself, Qin Hao climbed down the cliff again.
After waiting for more than an hour, the convoy transporting the spider mines finally arrived.
"Brothers, work hard, we're running out of time, I need you to finish it in eight hours! Got a question? Qin Hao shouted loudly.
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" The fighters replied in unison.
"Come on!" Qin Hao replied loudly.
