Whether to promote or not to promote is Long Jianguo's business, Ye Han doesn't care at all, what he cares about is how to catch the giant ants. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

From the first contact with giant ants to now, Ye Han has been dealing with giant ants for more than a month, and when it comes to the habits of giant ants, he knows a little more than many biological experts, and he has a new plan after a turn of brains.

His plan is very simple, the giant ant rises at sunrise and rests at sunset, since there are fish that leak through the net when burning the ant nest during the day, then can't it be burned at night?

Ye Han found Long Jianguo to report the new plan, and Long Jianguo immediately expressed his full support and delegated power to Ye Han to be fully responsible.

Now that Long Jianguo became the shopkeeper, Ye Han unceremoniously took over the command and ordered all the soldiers who monitored the giant ants to withdraw from the train, and everyone immediately returned to the dormitory to rest.

The warriors didn't know what medicine was sold in Ye Han's gourd, but after two days of giant ants, the warriors were already exhausted, so they took this opportunity to rest.

After dinner, the team set off again, with the help of night vision equipment to find an ant nest, first destroyed the surrounding anthills one by one, leaving only a dozen anthills near the core area, and then poured diesel fuel into the anthills according to the procedure.

Soon after, the cannon roared, and the diesel filled cave spewed flames several meters high like a burning oil well, and the flames dispelled the darkness within a radius of tens of meters, and then the flames gradually shrank into the hole, leaving only billowing smoke slowly rising.

The burning anthill is a striking bright green on the night vision screen, and the rising smoke is even greener.

Ye Han frowned, and said with satisfaction: "Okay, next!" ”

The convoy immediately packed up and headed for the next nest.

Overnight, Ye Han and his extermination team advanced more than 20 kilometers, burning five ant nests in a row, and countless giant ants were burned to death, and they gnawed fiercely on the ant-occupied area.

If it weren't for the exhaustion of fuel he carried, he was afraid that Ye Han would still refuse to order the return.

The next day, Ye Han continued to lead his troops to attack, destroying nine ant nests, and advancing the battle line to the depths of the ant-occupied area for more than 30 kilometers, forming a salient more than 30 kilometers wide and more than 40 kilometers deep!

The shape of the ant-occupied area is very irregular, but it is roughly an oval with a width of more than 100 kilometers from east to west and nearly 300 kilometers from north to south.

The significance of this salient is not how much land has been recovered, but to rescue the fallen Jingjiang in one fell swoop!

At the same time, the friendly forces on other fronts were progressing smoothly, although they did not advance as wildly as Ye Han, but they also achieved considerable results.

Except for the northern front, which still adopted suppressive tactics and failed to achieve results, the entire ant-occupied area won victory on all other fronts.

The news of the victory was like an eighteen-magnitude earthquake, quickly spread all over the north and south of the river, and everywhere the radio waves went, the people were all excited, people took to the streets, celebrating the hard-won victory in various ways, and the excited people broke through the ban on fireworks and firecrackers, snapped up the backlog of firecrackers, and the deafening sound of firecrackers completely stopped, and even the once stagnant economic index also showed signs of recovery.

The news was reported to the northern capital, and the northern capital immediately commended the officers and soldiers who participated in the battle, and at the same time issued the highest instructions: resolutely eliminate the ant colony regardless of the cost and loss!

However, Ye Han and his comrades-in-arms ran into trouble at this time, and the momentum of their soaring momentum came to an abrupt end.

It's not that Ye Han doesn't want to expand the results of the battle, but the environment doesn't allow him to continue to act.

Jingjiang City is adjacent to the Black Mountain Range in the south, the Xianghai Wetland in the north, and the Jingshui Lake District in the east, all of which are lush vegetation and have a good natural environment, but the west side is dominated by sparse vegetation and gravel land, and most of the land only has some tenacious low plants growing, although there are also some fields, but it is almost impossible to find a large piece of fertile land.

Looking for the trouble of giant ants in this barren land, Ye Han can burn it without any scruples, anyway, no matter how bad it burns, there is no collateral loss, at most roasting a few shrubs that can't even be named.

It's different around Gyeonggang City, where there are green trees and fertile fields.

First, Ye Han and his comrades-in-arms had never gone deep into this area, and they lacked understanding of the ant colony in this area, and could not find the exact location of the ant nest, so they could not continue to use the decapitation tactic of piercing the heart with an arrow;

Second, the anthill is hidden under the flourishing vegetation, which is not as clear as before, and it takes a certain amount of time to identify the anthill.

The third and most important point is that the continuous high temperature will burn off the organic matter in the soil, and no grass will grow on the ground after the fire! The ant nest goes deep into the ground, and the oil filling method is simple and crude, in addition to the ant nest, the anthill will also be affected to a certain extent, and the ground and underground will be burned at the same time, which will completely destroy the land near the ant nest, and it will take at least a few years to recover.

Ordinary surface fires, neither the duration nor the burning temperature can be compared with diesel; Although the power of artillery shells, bombs and even thermobaric bombs is strong, the duration is short, unlike the oil filling method, which burns for several hours, and the damage to the soil is naturally much smaller.

Jingjiang is one of the most important grain producing areas in Linzhou Province, people can leave Jingjiang, but those planted grain can not be moved, and I don't know how many acres of well-growing fields are waiting to mature.

It's hard to snatch back the territory from the giant ants, but you can't burn it to a barren land just for convenience, right?

Ye Han suddenly understood why Long Jianguo threw away his power, this was to dig a pit and wait for him to jump in, but he still jumped so resolutely and actively!

Time entered the third day of the counteroffensive, and the friendly forces in other directions were still advancing unhurriedly, but Ye Han had to temporarily stop his actions, just in time for the cold front to cross, and the weather suddenly became gloomy and cold, so everyone nested in the train and became moldy.

Ye Han was lying on the bed with his back facing the sky, his eyes looking through the dim glass window, looking at the gray clouds outside the window in a daze.

The knock on the door recalled Ye Han's scattered thoughts, and he sat up: "Please come in!" ”

The veteran opened the door and walked into the box with a smile: "Ye Pai, what do you want?" ”

Although Ye Han was promoted to lieutenant, his position was still platoon commander, so the soldiers' title was still Ye Platoon.

"It's nothing, the night owl comes into the house and has nothing to do, say, what's the matter with me?" Ye Han pointed to the bed opposite and asked the veteran to sit down.

"I'm fine, there's a car from the city, and Long Ying said that you want it, let you take it."

Ye Han was stunned for a few seconds before he suddenly came back to his senses and jumped up: "Great, let's go!" ”

This time it was the turn of the veteran to be stunned, he looked at the back of Ye Han leaving, touched his head, and said to himself suspiciously: "What's so anxious?" Could it be a carload of? ”

Fortunately, Ye Han didn't hear this, otherwise he would have to be angry and bloody, and the world would not wake up.
