921 Tough victory
Half an hour later, the last team was evacuated, and there were twenty-three more blasting points marked in green on the map of southern South America. In just half an hour, the number of blasting points for the successful placement of nuclear bombs has reached twenty-three, more than a third of the planned total!
Placement failures have been taken into account when the plan was made, and even if only a quarter would have met the minimum standards of the plan, let alone a third of the successes.
On the afternoon of November 21, 2028 local time, under the command of the coalition forces, more than 60 nuclear bombs placed at 23 blasting points were detonated at the same time.
The lowest magnitude is 7.3 and the highest is 8.5, and the areas south of the Tropic of Cancer in South America are within the scope of the earthquake!
According to the plan of the joint command, the maximum magnitude should be controlled below level 8, and the analysis believes that the excess magnitude 0.5 comes from the superposition of seismic waves.
In the aftermath of the earthquake, swarms of insects hiding underground frantically surged to the surface, and the number of giant insects on the surface increased more than tenfold in a very short period of time.
The space fleet is busy now, all kinds of artillery fire are on the battlefield at once, covering the swarm repeatedly with dense firepower, and dozens of nuclear bombs are thrown out in one go.
At this time, the earthquake was not over, and the insect swarm had nowhere to hide, and there was nowhere to hide, and the losses were immediately heavy.
According to later statistics, only one firepower coverage killed thirty percent, and although the next few coverages did not achieve such good results, all the results were added together, and the continuous air strikes annihilated at least seventy percent of the giant insects!
Due to the continuous firepower coverage, especially the large-scale use of nuclear bombs, the entire insect-occupied area was in shambles, and it was not until two hours later that the South American coalition forces, which had long been ready to march, went to the battlefield one after another, and the coalition forces advancing by land and air advanced hundreds of kilometers in one go, eliminating the remaining giant insects on the ground, and there was not a single swarm of insects on the ground.
This battle was the largest battle in which humans annihilated giant insects on the South American battlefield, and it was also a turning point in the complete decline of the entire South American insect colony.
Not only were the ground swarms badly hit, but the bugs that didn't have time to crawl out were no better.
Aerial monitoring found that 21 seconds after the nuclear explosion, the first ground collapse occurred in the earthquake area, and the second place appeared 13 seconds later, and then every once in a while, there will be a large or small collapse, and within half an hour, the entire earthquake area collapsed more than 100 times.
According to the analysis, under normal circumstances, earthquakes would never cause so many collapses, and the reason for this result is that the insect swarm hollows out the ground, and each collapse is a collapsed insect nest.
The collapsed hive must have buried a lot of insects, but the insect colony was originally evolved from ants, and they are naturally masters of burrowing, and burying them may not be able to kill the insects.
In order to eliminate the swarm as much as possible, the space fleet launched nuclear bombs into all the pits, and the nuclear bombs that fell from the sky went straight to the bottom of the pits, and hundreds of successive nuclear explosions caused a wave of small-scale earthquakes of about magnitude 6.
However, everyone knows that the nuclear explosion is powerless against underground targets, and the coalition forces do not expect the collapse to do anything to the bugs, they only hope that the aliens will also be buried in the ground, and they will not be able to climb out after being buried.
Due to the lack of magnitude and the failure of the earthquake area to cover the insect-occupied area, many people are not optimistic about this operation, but with the idea of hitting a pole with or without dates, no one stood up to oppose it.
Even if you don't bury the aliens alive and make them aware of the dangers underground, you can push them to the surface!
Although the idea is good, but from beginning to end, the aliens have never shown their faces, which has aroused the vigilance of the South American coalition forces, in order to prevent the resurgence of the insect swarm, the coalition forces from the sea, land, air and space four aspects of comprehensive monitoring of the South American insect area.
Then, there is no then.
The remnants of the giant insects on the surface have suffered heavy losses in the all-out encirclement and suppression of human beings, and it is only a matter of time before they are completely wiped out.
The underground swarm made several small-scale counterattacks, but each time it made contact with the ground forces, and the space fleet was bombed into slag.
A few days later, not a single giant insect was seen in the whole of South America, not even a giant insect that was not part of the swarm, and no matter how you look at it, the situation in South America has been fundamentally reversed.
However, the coalition forces did not dare to take it lightly, and still took a strict posture of defense, but after more than ten days of calm and calm, the South American insect swarm and the aliens occupying South America seemed, seemed, and probably really been killed.
This was a very surprising result for the coalition forces, many people couldn't believe it at all, so they waited for more than a week, and still found no signs of recurrence, the coalition forces finally let go of their hearts hanging in the air, and the coalition troops in South America began to withdraw one after another, and in just a few days, millions of South American garrisons quickly shrank to 200,000.
Although the number of people is small, they are all rapid reaction forces, and with the assistance of the Space Fleet, 200,000 people are fully capable of controlling the whole of South America.
Unless there is a sudden large-scale outbreak of the swarm.
Some of the troops that left South America returned home, and some rushed to Africa.
The coalition forces wanted to carry out an earthquake operation in Africa, but the whole of Africa except the Sahara was controlled by the swarm, and there was no way to replicate the success of the Americas, and in the short term, humanity did not see any hope of defeating the African swarm.
However, the battle plan for the African insect swarm is also being planned, and the core content of this plan is to advance steadily step by step, concentrating troops from the northern front, all the way to the south to squeeze the living space of the insect swarm.
In order to deal with the hive, the coalition forces have also thought of many ways, the simplest is to detonate a nuclear bomb in the hive; Nests can also be filled with water near water sources; It's easier to go near the sea, just direct access to the sea.
Some people have even studied the situation in Africa and concluded that all the hives are located below sea level, which can lead to seawater backflow into Africa......
A very imaginative plan, but also too whimsical, the coalition would rather use an asteroid to smash on the continent than use seawater to turn most of Africa into saline.
In addition to force, countries are actively seeking the assistance of resistance groups in the hope that they can provide a batch of biochemical viruses against giant insects.
This bill has been mentioned before, but the resistance group did not agree for various reasons, and this time the resistance group finally relented, but demanded that humans must provide live giant insects, otherwise it is difficult to provide viruses specifically for a certain species.
In order to get the virus as soon as possible, the delegation hoped that the resistance group would send a few biochemical technology experts to Beiyuezhou to study and manufacture it on the spot, but unfortunately the resistance group refused.
In desperation, the coalition forces had no choice but to order the troops in Africa to carry out a hunting operation, caught dozens of live giant insects, and then sent them to space as soon as possible, and sent them to Europa as soon as possible.
