59 Siege of the Mantis (2)
A soldier who had run out of bullets didn't have time to change the magazine, moved his index finger in front of his palm, and with a soft "tom", a high-explosive grenade instantly hit the side of the giant insect, and the flames that exploded immediately scorched the wings of the giant mantis.
The giant mantis flying over the wall flailed its wings in vain, but could no longer control its shape, like an old plane hit by an anti-aircraft gun, and an upside-down onion fell from the sky.
The place where it fell was just above the iron ladder, and the dancing blades and long legs of the giant insect slammed into the railing, bending the iron ladder guardrail, and the water droplets falling from the railing were shattered.
The explosion above his head made Ye Han instinctively raise his head, and the ugly triangular insect head quickly amplified in his eyes, Ye Han subconsciously raised his rifle and rushed at the falling giant worm.
Ye Han's marksmanship was good and close, and not a single of the more than 20 bullets was wasted, all of them got into the body of the giant insect.
The last bullet came out of the chamber, the giant mantis just passed by Ye Han, a long leg was just inserted into the railing next to Ye Han, the noise of metal twisting suddenly sounded, the iron ladder under Ye Han's feet tilted sharply, he slipped under his feet and almost didn't fall, so frightened that he grabbed the steel frame next to him and almost threw away the gun, so he didn't fall on the iron ladder.
The structure of the iron ladder is exactly the same as that of the staircase, and it is no joke to fall in such a place.
Although Ye Han's position is only as high as a two-story building, even if he jumps, there will be no danger, but falling in the scattered steel frames and sharp steel plates is definitely not the same concept as jumping down by himself.
Fortunately, the quality of the iron ladder was quite passable, and the spread range was only a little more than a meter, Ye Han hooked his arm to the railing and kicked it a few times before returning to a safe position, and breathed a sigh of relief.
It was only then that Ye Han discovered that the insect leg inserted into the railing was actually not broken, and the twisted insect leg hung the giant mantis that had been shot dozens of times on the iron ladder, and the long legs of the active knife limbs were still very smart.
The old Hu who followed behind Ye Han was dumbfounded: "Xiao Ye, are you okay?" ”
"It's fine!" Ye Han quickly put on a new magazine, the muzzle of the gun pressed against the burnt chest of the giant mantis, and all the bullets in the gun were wiped out in one go.
The fierce struggle of the giant mantis finally slowed down, and turned into a real dying struggle, Ye Han replaced the third magazine, two shots broke the insect legs, the curved railing bounced upward, the heavy giant mantis fell from the air, fell heavily to the ground, the insect legs waved slowly, and finally died.
I don't know when the rain will fall more rapidly, and the dense rain falls on the dead giant worm, and slowly slides down from the corpse.
Ye Han wiped the rain and sweat off his face and exhaled heavily.
He alone poured fifty rounds of bullets on this giant mantis, and with the results of others, this giant mantis was hit by more than a hundred bullets.
It was not the first time Ye Han had dealt with a giant mantis, but it was the first time that he had used so many bullets to kill a giant mantis.
He couldn't help but start wondering, could it be that in just half a month, what mutation had happened to the giant mantis?
"Xiaoye, are you okay?" Zhou Yun leaned on the railing of the upper floor and shouted, but the shouting was muffled by the fierce gunshots, and he immediately pressed the call button on the walkie-talkie and repeated his words.
Ye Han replied that it was okay, jumped over the hole more than one meter wide on the iron ladder with an arrow step, and continued to rush towards the wall.
Lao Hu immediately followed, and Xiao Jing, who stayed at the back, looked at the insect corpse, the hand holding the gun tightened and tightened, and finally gritted his teeth and jumped through the hole.
Ye Han strode up the stairs, and finally stepped on the top of the ten-meter-high city wall.
At this time, on the city wall, every five meters or so, there was a heavily armed battle fierce fire, fifty meters apart from the two machine gun platforms, four large-caliber anti-aircraft machine guns happily groaned, like a splash of bullets poured down from the wall, intercepting the giant mantis rushing towards the mirror river.
Outside the city wall, hundreds of giant mantis jumped forward all over the mountain, rushing towards the city wall one after another in the face of earth-shattering gunfire and dense bullets, looking not like a group of praying mantises, but like a large group of grasshoppers.
Ye Han, who saw this scene, couldn't help but be stunned, and couldn't figure out what kind of madness the giant mantis was doing.
The situation was urgent, and there was no time for him to study the habits of the giant mantis, and several people immediately joined the battle against the giant mantis.
Probably due to habit, the distance between the giant mantis is very wide, and it can almost be called the giant insect version of the skirmish.
The skirmish line can play a unique role in human warfare, but the ranks of the giant worms are so scattered that they lose the advantage of intensive assault, giving the defenders a chance to annihilate each other.
Ye Han aimed at a giant mantis closest to the city wall and began to hold fire, a series of short point shots were accurate and fast, the gun did not leave the target's chest, and in the blink of an eye, the bullets in the gun were empty again.
Ye Han only had five magazines on his body, and in order to maintain the elasticity of the springs, each magazine only pressed twenty-five bullets, two of which had been exhausted on the stairs before, and now there were only the last two magazines left.
But he didn't have time to hesitate, and immediately fired again after jamming the new magazine, and in less than half a minute, he had wiped out all the magazines on his body.
He hurriedly ran to the supply point with the gun in his hand, blocked the rain with his body, opened the plastic bullet box, tore open the outer packaging of the bullet as fast as he could, stuffed one end of the ten-round bridge clip into the magazine, pressed down hard with his thumb, and the ten rounds were immediately filled into the magazine, and so on three times, a magazine of thirty rounds was refilled.
Reality is not a game, it takes a few seconds to empty a magazine when you shoot, but it takes far more time to fill a magazine than it does to run out of a magazine.
Although there are a large number of bullets prepared at the wall, each bullet needs to be pressed into the magazine by hand, that is, the 5.8mm bullet is packed with a bridge clip to fill the magazine in such a fast time.
Ye Han, who had replenished his ammunition, rushed back to his battle position, and as soon as he picked up his rifle, a giant mantis close to the city wall suddenly jumped up, vibrated its wings and flew towards the wall.
The giant giant mantis has poor speed and agility when flying, but it barely rises into the air.
Ye Han immediately gave up the original target, and poured the bullet onto the giant mantis that took off, and a nearby soldier happened to run out of bullets, and immediately fired a grenade without hesitation, but unfortunately the soldier shot in a hurry, and this cannon failed to hit the giant mantis, but just fell to the ground and listened to a sound.
But this cannon alerted the nearby soldiers, and they turned their guns to fire grenades, and before the giant mantis could fly up the wall, it was hit by three grenades in a row, and as a result, it lost control and hit the steel plate in the middle of the city wall, shaking the wall several times.
