As a commander, Liu Huaidong is very aware of the strategic significance of the equatorial base, although the first task of the base is to protect the rail elevators, but the base is by no means as simple as protecting the elevators.

To put it bluntly, the equatorial base is the tentacles of the northern capital to control Kalidan, to put it more plainly, this base is equivalent to the northern capital stamped a stamp on the map of Kalidan, telling other countries that this place has been occupied, you all stop a little, and those who want to reach out retract their claws.

And the military significance of the equatorial base is not very large, although there are airfields and aircraft, and the combat radius of the aviation forces can cover the entire island of Kalidan, but it is only covered, not effectively controlled, so the symbolic meaning of the base is far more than the military significance.

And what about aliens?

Liu Huaidong thought about it carefully, it seems that the aliens didn't plan to do anything about the rail elevator from the beginning!

The effective range of fine light is very long, even if it is weakened by the atmosphere, it is no problem to hit two or three hundred kilometers, if the aliens' goal is to destroy the orbital elevator, they don't need to spend this effort at all, directly arrange a batch of light insects on Bucha Island, and sweep towards the orbital elevator casually, and they can cut the cable into ten sections and eight sections.

The cable is the absolute core of the rail elevator, this thing is woven from top to bottom, repair is not only technically difficult to achieve, even if it is really connected, the strength must be reduced by a few grades, even if it can barely be used, it is necessary to control the overall quality of the air and space train, otherwise after the train is on the cable, it may be pulled off the cable.

But the aliens didn't want to destroy the cable, and they roared to attack the equatorial base, for what? Could it be that their purpose is to snatch the rail elevator?

Thinking of this, Liu Huaidong laughed himself, even if the alien really planned to do this, it was impossible for him to hand over the rail elevator to the alien completely! When it comes to the critical moment, the rail elevator must be destroyed.

Well, to put it another way, the idea of aliens may not be so complicated, is it that aliens want to occupy the whole of Karidan, so it is particularly unpleasant to look at the equatorial base?

This possibility is not impossible, don't look at the aliens have not come to the forefront, but their desire for territory is no less than that of Lao Maozi, Africa, South America, Australia, Southern Europe...... So many places have been taken by aliens, does it take a reason to occupy another Calidan?

The northern capital understands the strategic role of Calidan, and the aliens must also understand the way, maybe the aliens are making wishful thinking, and after completely controlling Calidan, they will use Calidan as a springboard to move north, and then the entire southeast coast will have to face the aliens' troops, so that the strategic situation faced by the northern capital is not as easy as it is now.

The more Liu Huaidong thought about it, the more it hurt, the possibility of Beidu giving up the equatorial base was very small, and most of him and the soldiers would be nailed here, even if there was only one person left.

While he was thinking about it, a group of servants suddenly appeared on the screen transmitted by the battlefield monitoring system, and they followed the insect swarm ashore, hiding behind the insect swarm and shooting cold shots at the soldiers on the parapet wall.

The mercerized light swept across the parapet, the soldiers on the wall were defenseless, and in the blink of an eye, a large piece fell, and the blood stained the wall, and the insect swarm that was originally suppressed by the defenders immediately approached the parapet wall, and the soldiers on the wall shot with all their might, but they still couldn't stop the head of the insect swarm attacking.

The original good situation was reversed in an instant.

Liu Huaidong got up suddenly, and roared with a blue face: "Open the cannon, bombard Lao Tzu!" ”

The artillery had already measured the firing data, and the gun tubes were erected and waited for a long time, and now they finally waited for the order, and the commander gave an order, eighteen self-propelled howitzers; twenty-seven wheeled assault guns; There were also more than 70 self-propelled mortars scattered and more than 100 guns of various types firing at the same time, and shells rained down on the coast.

The artillery roared inside and outside the base, the landing line was filled with gunsmoke, and the open space from the coast to the parapet was full of deafening explosions, whether it was giant insects, insects, and even the servants were killed and wounded in the artillery bombardment of the defenders regardless of attrition.

The military's firepower coverage is not a joke, it is a firepower strike on the same level as the air strike of the United States, and if one wave does not work, another wave will come, and sooner or later you will be killed with shells.

A group of servants flew out of the water, jumped high into the sky, and fired in the direction where the shells came, but the counterattack of the servants had no effect, and the shells continued to fall, smashing the swarm into a swarm of collapse.

Just kidding, the standard of the equatorial base is so high, how can artillery positions be placed on the ground?

The distance between the position and the coast was no more than five kilometers, and all the artillery involved in the battle was hidden underground, firing through the firing holes above the bunkers at a large elevation angle, and unless the servants flew above the base, they could not even see the artillery wagons, let alone counterattack.

But can the base be approached by the servants at will? Obviously it can't, there are machine guns, machine guns, anti-aircraft missiles above and below the parapet, and 1,800 servants are not enough to stuff their teeth, if he comes at once, he will have 18,000...... Well, then Liu Huaidong will definitely evacuate all the people underground, and then throw nuclear bombs directly on the base!

The counterattack came and went quickly, and the servants in the air didn't shoot a few rays of light, so that the laser of the Qionghe was turned into slag, and there was no chance to leave a whole corpse.

The speed at which the shelling ended was not slow, but after a few rounds of shelling, the coastline that was originally full of insects could no longer see a single living thing that could move, and all of them died no longer, and even those who hid in the water and did not come ashore were killed by the shells that fell into the water, and a large number of them floated to the surface.

The soldiers on the parapet quietly poked their heads out, and when they saw such a scene, they couldn't help but sigh.

If we had fought like this from the beginning, those comrades who had sacrificed might not have died.

Of course, the soldiers also know that the artillery shells stored in the base are limited, and the current port is blocked by alien submarines, which is equivalent to cutting off the connection between the base and the country, and the supplies will not be replenished for a while and a half, and there is really no need to fire when the servants do not appear.

The only thing to blame is that the servants appeared too quickly and suddenly...... There are no immortals in war, and after so many years of fighting with insects, the warriors have long been used to it.

The landed insect swarm was wiped out by artillery fire, but the soldiers on the parapet did not dare to relax at all, and everyone stared vigilantly at the sea, for fear that the insect swarm would rush out again.

Except for the floating insect corpses, there was no movement on the water, He Xiangdong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it seemed that this round of attacks was over.

The battle is over, but He Xiangdong's troubles are far more than fighting, arranging guards, cleaning the battlefield, treating the wounded, collecting remains, and replenishing ammunition...... There are a lot of things waiting to be done, and as soon as He Xiangdong thinks of this, one head becomes two big, and his head hurts.
