1463 Twilight of the Lonely Island
West coast of Bucha.
Layers of bays pour onto the beach, coconut groves sway gently in the sea breeze along the coast, and the slanting sunset gives the sand and trees a golden shade of red.
At the end of the beach, a tall watchtower rises over a craggy reef, and heavily armed sentinels are condescending, vigilant eyes looking around.
At eighteen o'clock, the foreman took the sentry to the watchtower, and the two sentries saluted each other and then changed the guard, and the sentry who got off the guard followed behind the foreman and walked down the guard tower step by step.
By this time it was past the time of eating, and the two hungry sentinels went straight to the cafeteria, and after receiving their respective sentinel meals, they sat down together and ate without saying a word.
Nothing comforts a hungry stomach like a delicious meal, and in this current situation, soldiers can expect far less than in peacetime, and having a full stomach is the original intention of many people joining the army.
After just a few bites, the piercing siren suddenly sounded in the sky, and the two of them stopped eating abruptly, and before they could figure out what was going on, there was a crisp gunfire in the alarm.
There is a case!
The sound of the gun was an order, and the two men could no longer care about eating, so they buckled up their helmets, grabbed their rifles and ran.
Rushing out of the cafeteria, the sound of gunfire suddenly became clear, and listening to the direction, the sound was actually coming from the guard tower.
Both of them were a little dazed, everything was normal when they just left, why did the gun go off in just a few minutes?
And the gunfire was so intense that it could never have been an accidental misfire.
The two looked at each other, and then ran towards the watchtower.
At the same time, the heavily armed soldiers rushed out of the dormitory, identified the direction of the gunshots, and rushed to their respective positions in unison.
Although there is no public information yet, it is clear to everyone that it must be aliens...... Giant insects, wormmen, or servants under your command.
It's not that the warriors are unpredictable, but this force has been stationed on Bucha Island for two years, and the giant insects and insects under the control of the aliens come to harass them every once in a while, and occasionally a large army comes to attack, during which the soldiers have fought the enemy countless times, and they have long been accustomed to this kind of day of fighting the enemy at every turn.
Fortunately, the troops defending the island not only have sufficient ammunition, but also complete reinforced concrete fortifications, regardless of whether the giant insects or worm people, the possibility of breaking through the defenders' defense line is infinitely close to zero.
However, this situation changed not long ago, and the presence of servants among the raids on the swarm and the insects appeared, but fortunately, the number of servants was small, and the servants who appeared on the battlefield quickly became a record in the merit book.
But as time goes by, more and more mercenaries appear on the battlefield, and the analysis believes that it is likely that the landed aliens have gained a foothold and are mass-producing mercenaries.
This is not a good sign.
Moreover, the presence of servants on Buha Island is not an isolated situation, at the same time, the presence of servants on tropical islands that still belong to humans has appeared.
This phenomenon immediately aroused the great attention of the upper echelons, and the aliens did not blow up the thorns in the morning or at night, and they had to explode the thorns when the Turkish fleet flew over, which was especially to make a forward station for the landing of the Turkish foreign fleet!
But what if you know? To this day, human beings still don't know where the aliens' nests are, and unless the aliens take the initiative to stand up, there is nothing they can do with the aliens.
Fortunately, it is January now, which is the coldest season in the northern hemisphere, and both giant insects and insect people are active in the tropics, and the impact on the country is very small.
Perhaps the aliens also know that the cold in the north is not suitable for giant insects and insects, so the focus of the strategy is on the southern hemisphere, in just a few months, most of the islands in the southern hemisphere and the tropics have fallen into the hands of aliens, and now Buha Island is already one of the front lines of defense against insect swarms, and it is also one of the important strategic nodes that the military must hold.
The scale of the attack was much larger than before, and before the soldiers had even entered their positions, they saw that the beach in the distance was densely packed with giant insects, and they were rushing towards the coastal defense line in swarms.
There was a buffer zone of 1,200 meters between the position and the beach, and although the fighters moved very quickly, when the fighters entered the position, the swarm washed up more than 600 meters on the beach, and another 500 meters to rush into the position.
The distance was still a little far, and the fighters did not rush to fire, but quickly set up their rifles and machine guns, and everyone was on standby.
Only the snipers fired immediately, but their target was not ordinary giant bugs, let alone bugmen mixed in the swarm, but a sparse number of servants.
Giant Worms and Wormmen fight on instinct, and only the servants have weapons, they pose the greatest threat to the defenders and must be eliminated first...... According to military tradition, each combat squad has a sniper, and as long as the servant comes forward, he can't run a peanut.
If you don't fight, you can't fight, giant insects and insect people basically can't fly, but the servant has a pair of wings, who will you fight if you don't fight the servant?
In fact, except for the snipers, other people's weapons can also eliminate the merceries, but the defenders have a plan for this situation, and no one except the snipers shoots.
The swarm charged extremely fast, and in a matter of seconds, it crossed the 400-meter line.
At this moment, the feet of the insect swarm suddenly exploded, and the powerful explosion lifted the giant insects near the explosion point into the sky, and many giant insects had already exploded into pieces when they flew up...... This is a high-explosive anti-insect mine!
In other places, one piece was blown up, and I don't know how many steel balls instantly penetrated the giant insects, beating them all into blood gourds - this is an anti-giant insect directional mine.
The soldiers witnessed this scene, but no one was surprised, and no one jumped up and cheered.
It's not that they are unhappy to destroy the enemy, but everyone knows that a minefield is laid four hundred meters in front of the position!
Moreover, the mines planted are specially made anti-insect mines, which are strengthened according to the heavy carapace of the giant insects, and as long as the giant insects step on them, they will never end well.
But how could the swarm stop moving forward because of such a small difficulty? They are not afraid of life and death, and they do not know what fear is, and their only thought is to charge and charge until they kill all the humans on the island.
The minefield with a width of more than 100 meters gave a large number of casualties to the swarm, but the remaining giant insects still stepped on the mine and continued to advance, looking like they would not die.
Although the minefield has passed, the defenders have prepared another meal for the swarm.
The commander of the defending company felt that the time was almost up, and immediately called for fire support on the radio.
The artillery immediately opened fire from a distance of seven kilometers, and the screaming sound of the shells came from far and near, and it did not take long for them to smash into the swarm of insects that had landed, and the air waves set off by the large-caliber shells were much greater than those of the mines, but all those who were within the range of the power of the explosion, whether they were giant insects or insect people, were all too dead to die.
