Chapter 9: Glory in the Storm
Swarms of bugs stepped on the mud and charged from the dirt slope to the bridgehead, and two M2 heavy machine guns began to fire at high frequency, and two slashed the few bugs that rushed to the front of the line of fire.
The cannonball Wang Zhiyuan aimed at the middle of the swarm and fired another shot, blowing up a mud pit on the ground, and the insects in the middle were blocked by the mud and insect stumps, and the swarm of insects surging forward from behind was squeezed into a ball.
Switching to a coaxial machine gun, he ran out of ammunition for the left team of bugs who were forced to separate to both sides. The "Ka" main gun loaded the shells, and continued to shoot at the mud pit stirred together in the middle of the swarm, and a dozen half-dead insects were completely turned into mud.
The convoy had already crossed the bridge in twos at a time, Wang Zhiyuan hurriedly opened the receiver to change the magazine for the coaxial machine gun, and fired a shot at the middle of the right team of insects that had rushed forward half the distance with the main gun.
Hearing that No. 5's robot AK47 began to shoot, Wang Zhiyuan remembered that there was a box of 12.7mm machine gun shells outside the tank turret.
Hurriedly ran down and carried two boxes of machine gun shells out of the turret shell, and carried two more boxes for himself and stuffed them into the captain's seat. The 150 mm tank gun fired so continuously that smoke filled the turret.
Wang Zhiyuan put on a mask and goggles and shouted: "Cortana is adding a turret smoking device, and it will start to pile up at this speed." ”
The heavy fire killed dozens of insects, which seemed to make the swarm a little frightened, and the speed slowed down. The big scorpion-like insects on the top of the dirt slope arched their tails and shook upward, and a black shadow flew over.
The car body clanged, there was a sound of metal tearing, and Wang Zhiyuan's eyes were attached to the commander's observation mirror to take a look. Dozens of spear-like things were densely inserted on the side skirts and turrets of the tanks.
While aiming the main cannon at the big scorpion on the dirt slope, he asked, "What is Cortana?" Report the damage. ”
Cortana said, "Master Chief, this should be the spines of one of those large alien insects, which are catapulted by a certain amount of biological energy. The armor was more or less intact and was penetrated 40%, but there was a risk that the load-bearing wheels and transmission wheels would be stuck by constant fire. ”
Wang Zhiyuan fired a shot at those big scorpions, ran to the bridge and turned the tank chassis 140 degrees to the right, and made a bomb angle in the direction of the big scorpions.
Looking at the convoy in front, the two cars were already halfway up from the bridge, and I thought that I could almost cross the bridge and run away in a maximum of 10 minutes at the top. Two more boxes of machine gun shells were stuffed outside the car, and after climbing to the gunner's position, the two teams of bugs had re-closed and were at a distance of 150 meters from the tank.
One of the large scorpions on the dirt slope was half shattered, and the others fired another salvo, this time several of which were stuck in the frontal armor of the turret, and the others left only one scratch on the hull and stuck in the surrounding road.
Seeing that the insects were getting closer and closer, a large number of insects crowded into a low forest not far from the roadbed. The area was planted a little lower than the surface, and some of the stagnant water made it very muddy, and when the insects stepped into it, half of their legs fell into the mud and crawled slowly.
Suddenly, the tanker truck in front of it began to honk its horn, and when I saw that a few thorns had pierced the tank and started to leak oil, there were also a few sticks stuck in the front of the truck.
Wang Zhiyuan fired a shot at the pile of insects crawling in the mud, switched to a coaxial machine gun and began to shoot. I couldn't see what I was shooting at all, the barrel was overheated and the rain was dripping up, and there was a cloud of water vapor in the scope.
The tanker truck suddenly honked its horn and turned on a double flash, and began to reverse to block the angle of the gunfire, and the front of the car slowly reversed.
The driver, surnamed Li, was pierced by a thorn in his left shoulder and thigh, and bright red blood gushed out of the wound like a spring.
He cleaned up the bridge with his right hand, then waved his hand at Wang Zhiyuan, and slammed the steering wheel and the entire tanker truck overturned the roadbed.
Wang Zhiyuan's eyes were a little moist and shouted: "Brother Li is good, I will definitely help you send them out safely." ”
He fired a shot at the scorpions, turned the car 40 degrees to the right, and the rear of the car was facing the bridge, and hung the tank in extreme reverse.
As soon as the car was reversed over the bridge, a large number of bugs climbed onto the roadbed and began to chase the tank. Two jumped onto the tank and were hit by a wave of AK47s from Robot 5.
When the shells were ready, they fired a shot at the tanker truck under the roadbed, and there was a huge explosion, and the bridge deck was full of fire, and the roadbed and the road surface at the bridgehead became a sea of fire.
Although the rain lowered the fire, a large number of insects struggled and writhed in the sea of fire, and the swarm of insects that rushed down the dirt slope was basically wiped out. The turret was also inserted with fragments of several oil cans, Wang Zhiyuan wanted to quickly call Robot 5 in, but saw that Robot 5's body was nailed outside the turret by a thorn and could not move.
Turning to the commander's screen, he said, "Cortana uses the robotic arm to help Robot 5 get him in." ”
Number 5 climbed into the turret and looked a little blackened, and the large hole in his body seemed to be completely unaffected.
Wang Zhiyuan did not dare to fire the main cannon again, adjusted the scale of the coaxial machine gun to the maximum, and shot at the big scorpion that was still firing thorns.
It is not clear whether a large scorpion seems to have been hit by a few shots and is dead, and the front armor and upper armor of the turret of the tank have also been inserted with several thorns, and even the commander's observation mirror has been pierced by a thorn, which is basically blind. Tonight's first confrontation with the big monster worm, Wang Zhiyuan won the first round.
After crossing the bridge, I drove 10 kilometers along the road in the dark, and the convoy drove slowly along the slippery road with the lights on.
Catching up with the convoy, Wang Zhiyuan shouted with a megaphone: "Hurry up and turn off the lights and stop, insects generally like to run to places with light, and now it's not just the group of insects that are in danger just now." ”
Wang Zhiyuan asked Robot No. 5 to hold a cardboard box, which contained 10 cartons of milk, 10 loaves of bread, an MP40 submachine gun, and 4 magazines.
went over and said to Zhao Danian: "Relying on Brother Li's heroism, we have survived, I am responsible for your safety tonight, and we will go our separate ways at dawn tomorrow."
There are also some of you who are infected with that white hair, if you get sick, remember to stay away, and you should know what to do. ”
Wang Zhiyuan sat in the driver's seat and opened the damaged panel of the car body, and the problem was not big that the armor was damaged and the commander's viewing mirror was damaged.
There are still 2 grenades left in the main gun of the 150 mm tank, and 1 and a half boxes of ammunition for the 12.7 mm heavy machine gun.
It takes about 5 hours to manipulate the robotic arm to pull out all the spines inserted in the car, and click on the armor repair interface on the hull modification interface.
Looking at the internal equipment of the tank, there is a repair box, 400 units of plastic pellets, and after thinking about it, let's get one. Isn't there a saying in the world of chariots, go out without a repair kit, and break the track with two lines of tears.
