1474 is easier to deal with than the defenders
Buha is finished.
Although the Tiangong's firepower did not hurt the laboratory, the vegetation on the island was damaged by pond fish, and only a little green remained near the laboratory.
It is no longer suitable for the continued garrison, not only because of the vegetation on the island, but also because the aliens are eyeing Bucha Island, although this wave of attacks was crushed by the Tiangong, but what about the next wave?
The wormmen had already fled, and there was no point in the laboratory remaining on Bucha Island, and after receiving the news, the northern capital simply ordered the garrison to evacuate.
In addition to the materials and equipment of the troops themselves, the research materials and various achievements in the laboratories must be withdrawn.
The research materials are much more important than the materials of the garrison, and He Xiangdong ordered the troops to give priority to the transportation of experimental equipment, and the materials and equipment of the troops themselves are all backward.
The Tiangong is still over Buha Island, and He Xiangdong can provide two hours of fire cover, and when the Tiangong leaves, the aliens may launch another round of attacks at any time.
Time was very short, He Xiangdong took matters into his own hands, carried the equipment with the soldiers, and sent all the things that could be taken away in the laboratory to the warship.
The insect swarm hidden in the sea tried to land several times in the past two hours, but was intercepted by fire from the Tiangong, and even the edge of the island defense troops was not touched.
After several failures in a row, the aliens also understood that it was thankless to continue to insist on attacking, so it didn't take much effort, He Xiangdong and his fighters finally managed to withdraw the laboratory to the ship within two hours.
In view of the aliens' eyesight, the northern capital decided to abandon the supplies on the island, and all troops immediately withdrew from Bucha Island.
In this way, the warships carried out a devastating round of shelling of the defenders' supply dumps, and after confirming the destruction of the remaining supplies on the island, the two warships anchored and headed for the island of Kalidan, located on the west side of Bukha.
The situation in Kalidan, similar to that of Bucha, is full of crazy clumps, and with the exception of a few human settlements, the original city and transportation system have long been destroyed by the insect swarm.
However, the two rail elevators under the command of the northern capital are located on the island of Kalidan, and the military has built a complete defense system around the rail elevators, including ground fortifications, air defense positions, missile positions, air bases and a military port, which is the most important military base in the equatorial region of the northern capital.
The defenders of Buha were ordered to withdraw to the equatorial base, where they were to rest for a while and wait for the military to reschedule.
Now it is a critical point in the approach of the foreign fleet, all the troops in the country have arranged tasks, and no army is idle, and the defenders on the island of Bucha are naturally no exception.
Most of the troops guarding the orbital elevator are from the Marine Corps, and He Xiangdong and his troops are also part of the Marine Corps, so he has a hunch that eighty percent of his troops will stay at the equatorial base and become part of the defenders.
Looking at Buha Island, which was gradually moving away, He Xiangdong knew that he would never have a chance to catch the escaped insect man in his life, and when he thought of this, his heart couldn't help but feel a little lost and stunned.
He Xiangdong didn't know that at this moment, the worm man he had not been able to find was paying attention to the warship far away from Buha Island.
Coincidentally, last night John took the worms into the dense jungle to avoid the defenders, just avoiding the satellite search.
John had been planning for this day for a long time, and after leaving the battlefield, he immediately led his team to change the route to the west, and along the way, he rushed to the west coast of Bucha Island as fast as possible, and plunged into a natural cave not far from the coast.
This place was discovered two years ago when I landed on the island of Bucha, the entrance to the cave is not large, but the interior is very deep, and the structure of the cave is very complex, and there is an underground river flowing from the cave to the sea, which is simply the best hiding place.
What's more, it was once a hideout for a gang of pirates, and when it was first discovered, there were three boats hidden in the cave, including advanced speedboats, half-used fishing boats, and even a white sailing yacht that was stolen from nowhere.
Before arriving at the cave, John was worried about the situation until he entered the cave and was relieved to find that the ship hidden in the cave was still intact.
Finally escaping to the cave, John did not relax, fearing that the defenders would catch up and be discovered by aliens.
To this end, he arranged for a few people to guard the entrance to the cave, while others hurried to check the ship.
The speedboat is too small, and the equipment on it is long gone, and it is of no use at all; The situation of the fishing boat is not much better, the cave is damp and dark, the anti-rust paint on the hull is mottled, and the rust spots fall down layer by layer when you touch it; The sailing yacht is not much better, but it is the best of the three, and the interior space is not bad, and it is not a problem to squeeze everyone into it.
But just because the ship is in good condition doesn't mean it's going to sea, and although the distance between Karidan and Buha Island is not far, it can't put everyone's safety in the hands of a broken ship.
So John took people to inspect the sailboat overnight...... said that it was to take someone to check, but in fact, it was to follow along, and there was another person who was specifically responsible.
In this way, John and the others were busy until dawn, and only took a look at the entrance of the cave when the Tiangong was covered by fire.
The humidity on the island is high, and the lasers form a clear path of light in the air, and the insects can clearly see the lasers falling from the sky with the naked eye.
The moment he saw the lasers falling from the sky, John couldn't help but say, "The swarm is over!" ”
As he said, the swarm was indeed finished, and many people were gearing up to leave Bucha.
John also wanted to leave quickly, but he knew that there were still battleships in the northern capital near Buha Island, and if he left rashly at this time, he would immediately appear on the radar of the battleship, and if the battleship hit him with a shot, he didn't know how to die.
So John decided that he had to wait a little longer, and patiently persuaded the others.
For this reason, John was even prepared to fight a protracted battle, even if he hid in the cave for ten days and half a month. It's just that he didn't expect the defenders to withdraw so quickly, and early in the morning, the soldiers on duty saw two warships sailing away from Bucha Island.
John couldn't believe his eyes, and after the excitement, he cautiously returned to his brain, and began to worry that the northern capital was just withdrawing the battleship, and that the defenders would still remain on the island.
So he persuaded everyone to wait a little longer, until the warship sailed out of sight, and then sent a few scouts out of the hole to investigate the situation on the island.
A few hours later, the returning Scout Bugs brought back the good news that all the defenders had withdrawn, but they also brought back the bad news that the swarm had landed again.
John let out a sigh of relief, not worrying about the swarm at all—the swarm was much easier to deal with than the defenders!
