Chapter Ninety-Four: A Blazing Three-Way Blow
At the same time, the entire bush in front of the three tanks was blown away by the blast wave from the muzzles, and the shells pierced three fist-sized holes in the outer wall of the hive like flashes. Before the surrounding circle of mycelium-spitting insects could react, the violent explosion tore three large holes in the wriggling hive embryo body that splattered slime.
The surrounding circle of flattened fungus insects was slammed to the ground by the powerful blast wave of the explosion, and the abdomen and chest cavity burst, and purple-green mucus and white mycelium splattered everywhere. Dozens of spray beetles, which were spewing purple slime into the wetlands around the small river bay, immediately erected their elongated ribcages from their abdomen, and two cup-shaped eyes on their reddish-brown heads immediately spotted the tanks in the bushes.
Before the jet-beetles could turn around, another volley completely blew up the mucus-filled hive embryos. A screech rang out from the valley behind the hill, and hundreds of earthy yellow poisonous beetles poured out of several charred holes on the hillside. The mountain of poisonous beetles climbed a few steps forward, curled up into a ball and rolled down the ash-covered hillside.
Zhu Tianbao looked through the car commander's observation mirror and saw that the poisonous explosion beetles all over the mountain were like a yellow wave, rolling up and pouring black dust down from the mountain. Anxiously waiting for the automatic loader to push the shells into the tank breech, Zhu Tianbao picked up the walkie-talkie and said: "All the giant beetles in the front right of the tank target have completed a round of salvo, and all of them have gone backwards and marched to the No. 1 depression." ”
The three main guns fired a salvo, knocking over the two giant jet beetles running in front, one of which scratched a deep scratch on the beetle's thick back armor, and the ricocheting bomb exploded a poisonous beetle rolling past it. The aft compartment of the turret popped out the still smoking shells with a "clang", and the tracks reversed forward to raise the mud turf, and reversed sharply under the suppressive fire of the anti-aircraft machine gun on the top of the turret.
Hundreds of poisonous explosives withstood the fire of three tanks, and after being blown up dozens of them, they managed to catch up with a tank on the right flank, and burst the corrosive slime on the front transmission wheel, which quickly destroyed the left track and transmission wheel of the tank. The jet beetle that caught up behind propped up its ribcage, and a large stream of slime sprayed through the tank turret, and after a few seconds, the slime turned into a hard shell like glue.
Zhu Tianbao was about to stop to go to the rescue, when he saw the tank that was already immobile. A large number of sparks erupted from the connection of the turret seat, and a loud explosion more than ten meters high blew the dozens of tons of turret away and smashed the beetle that sprayed slime just now.
With a tearful salute, Zhu Tianbao drilled out of the turret and set up the anti-aircraft machine gun on the top of the turret, shouting at the rushing tide of poisonous explosions and insects.
Zhu Tianbao finally reversed the car into the predetermined depression when the armor on the head of the tank was poisoned and exploded by a beetle and smashed into a deep pit. Quickly pulled out a red flare gun from his waist and fired a red flare into the sky.
The depression was a dry pond, and the cracked dry mud shell was still sticky mud, and the passage of the tank tracks was a little damped, but it was not a big problem. The Zerg is a bit like the chitin walking feet of a frog's foot, and when you step on the cracked mud shell, you will sink deep into the sticky pond mud, and it takes a lot of effort to pull it out.
After the two tanks poured out of the depression 300, Zhu Tianbao ordered to stop and used a machine gun to randomly shoot a few poisonous beetles that were not easy to climb to the edge of the depression. I saw that most of the Zerg troops who were chasing after me had entered the depression and struggled in the mud.
Zhu Tianbao loaded a green signal flare into the model gun, aimed it at the sky and launched it, and slowly fell with the green ball of light. More than twenty pillars of fire burst into flames around the depression, and gasoline burned from the side of the pillar of fire flowed down the cracks, and a burning fire net became denser and denser towards the insect swarm in the middle of the depression.
The entire depression turned into a huge barbecue grill, and the gasoline burning in the cracks baked the Zerg on the ground and dried the mud beneath the mud shell. After a few minutes, the flames twisted into the air, scorching the slightly drooping bellies of the poisonous beetles.
Soon, the continuous heating caused a strong chemical reaction in the abdomen of the poisonous beetles, and the hypertrophied abdomen began to swell uncontrollably. There was a "crackling" sound, and the abdomen of the poisonous explosion beetle and the jet beetle swelled to the limit, and exploded into a cloud of mucus.
Looking at the swarm of insects that were buried in the sea of fire, Zhu Tianbao shot a green signal flare into the sky and naturally said to himself: "Who believes that this guy is not a soldier who believes that this fire is burning." Bow your head and pick up the walkie-talkie and shout: "All vehicles advance to suppress the target area." ”
Wang Zhiyuan saw the green signal flare on the left rising, and a large black smoke rising from the woodland on the low hill on the right, and raised the green signal flare, bowed his head and said: "The forward speed is 30, just follow the defeated insect swarm in front." Wang Zhiyuan also climbed out of the tank turret hatch, took out a flare gun and fired two green flares into the sky.
In order to prevent those flies and cockroaches from leaving fresh Zerg soldiers and insects not to chase and turn around to find trouble, Wang Zhiyuan manipulated the mechanical arm, stretched from the back of the turret to the front of the turret, and put a few smoke bombs in the digging shovel. In front of the red tank, two mechanical arms held smoking shovels, driving the flies and cockroaches that were fighting with the swarm to slowly move in the direction of the nest in the river bay area.
The tank ran over the stumps of large and small fragments, accompanied by a "squeaky and quack" sound, and a large group of soldiers and insects who were chasing Wang Zhiyuan's tank head-on were driven back to the hive in the Hewan area. Countless flies and cockroaches chased the swarm of soldiers and insects, pounced on the nests in the river bay area, and frantically gnawed everything on the ground.
Wang Zhiyuan saw that the tanks and infantry chariots on both wings were already in place, picked up the walkie-talkie and said: "Battalion Commander Sun and Captain Zhu's plans have changed slightly, and all your vehicles will quickly release smoke screens to avoid arousing the interest of those flies and cockroaches." ”
Soon, from the cave at the foot of the river, a swarm of spray beetles crawled out and sprayed slime at the flies and cockroaches that were fighting together, and almost all the flies were turned into hard shells by the slime and fell into the mud. Although the number of cockroaches on the ground was huge, after all, they were too small compared to those that they had seen before, which were more than a meter long, and they were quickly killed by a group of soldiers and spiny insects that came around from behind the mountain.
Wang Zhiyuan saw from the gunner's scope that those little insects were almost dead, picked up the walkie-talkie and said: "All the vehicles are ready to cover the Hewan area with incendiary bombs, and it is estimated that this group of insects will be almost destroyed here." ”
After speaking, the main gun aimed at the group of insects that were still chasing and killing small cockroaches all over the ground, and a 150-mm deflagration bomb hit the thick back armor of a jet beetle. The exploding spark instantly ignited a large area of Zerg around it, and several cloudburst incendiary bombs were also shot from the other two directions, and a large white mist dispersed. The few remaining Zerg troops in the Hewan area were divided into several pieces by several fires.
