Chapter 4 Disasters
The electromagnetic pulse interfered with the body of the Sand Hill, causing him to begin to collapse in large areas.
But this kind of large-scale collapse is only relative, and the body of the sand grain mound is too huge, even if the sand on the surface of the body collapses in a large area, it still does not hurt the foundation, and not even a tenth of it.
The battle against the Hill of Sand is a long process......
And in this large-scale battlefield, the battle of the army and the body against the sand mound can only be said to be a corner of the place, although the battlefield here determines the situation of the end of the battle, and can even affect the situation of the entire battle, but the real large-scale battle is carried out between the soldiers and the insects.
More than ninety-five of the boundaries of the outbreak warband were fought by insects and soldiers.
And the battle here can really only be described as bloody and tragic.
Especially for those military personnel who are not wearing protective clothing......
For ordinary people, the most powerful place of the Zerg is not those flying insects or digging insects, but the locusts that are all over the sky.
Because of the lack of protective clothing, countless soldiers were wrapped and devoured by locusts, although they were ready to fight because of combat vigilance, but the thermal weapons in their hands were very ineffective against locusts, even if they threw grenades and killed some, it would be useless - rifles were even more like chicken ribs, and the act of using catapult locusts was really just a waste of time.
In the conventional fog, non-lethal weapons such as smoke grenades have become the most common tools of insecticide, and soldiers without protective clothing are in the midst of the insect plague, either hiding in buildings or infantry fighting vehicles and tanks, or fighting with this strange weapon, or in exchange for a scene of no bones......
However, hiding in a house or a chariot is not a very good solution.
After all, this side of the barracks is not a food factory or even a grain depot, this side is the main battlefield, not only is the density of locusts much higher than that of the urban area, but there are also many flying insects and giant burrowing insects.
A row of digging insects pushed through the ground, and all houses were in ruins. And the lethality of tank missiles is high - in terms of firepower, individual weapons can hardly match the lethality of tanks and artillery, let alone missiles.
If a tank hits a digger head-on, one or two cannons can kill one - even if the shells aren't accurate enough. Landing at their feet, two shots down, can also solve the life of a digging worm.
But again, because of the huge body weight and speed of the digger, if the tank is close. It's hard to beat these giant bugs one-on-one.
Digging insects will appear from the rear or even below the tank battle array, even from a distance, because the locusts are too dense, wrapping the periscope gun mirror, making it difficult for tanks and vehicles to distinguish between targets, and the hit rate of artillery fire is low.
……
……
Therefore, the part of the soldiers that the parasitic organization has not controlled is very, very large in battle - individual soldiers are not opponents, battle formations are not opponents, and their light and heavy firepower are far inferior to insects. The dead died very quickly, and in some places even camps were uprooted.
But in the same situation, where there are protective clothing and related equipment, it is the human army that has the upper hand.
In large-scale battles, one or two "supermen" may not play a huge role, but a few can play a vital role in the breakthrough point and rescue point.
And that's not the most important thing, the most important thing is that the military in the area controlled by the parasitic group, because of the relationship between protective clothing and insect bombs. It was possible to quickly clear a huge open field in the camp - which was free of locusts, had a high visibility, and was perfectly conducive to shelling and movement of battle formations - and would not be glued to the periscope.
A soldier in a protective suit can protect a tank or even a number of tanks - and a group of soldiers in protective suits with insect bombs. can inflict massive damage on flying insects and burrowing insects - with the help of thermal weapons, the fighting humans on this side have the absolute upper hand.
Although there are still dead and wounded, compared to the other side where there is no protective area, it is simply one heaven and one underground.
The battle in the barracks is in full swing......
Large-scale battles have always dragged on for a long time, so long that Zhang Yifei fell asleep when he closed the door in the warehouse. There's still fighting over there.
After working for most of the night and suffering a lot of injuries, Zhang Yifei chatted with Spicy Bun and others for a while, and then became sleepy, and several old men either smoked a fitness mat or simply slept on the ground, anyway, the danger outside could not enter, and they slowly fell asleep with the sound of the roller shutter being hit by "crackling" locusts.
But there is danger.
Everyone didn't sleep very well, and the next day after Zhang Yifei was woken up by a soak of urine, everyone woke up just now.
"How's it going out there?"
"I don't know."
"Lao Zhang, go take a look!"
Zhang Yifei got up from the ground, walked to the roller shutter and listened, the sound of "crackling" was gone, there were locusts all over the sky yesterday, and there were always hits on it. But now he didn't hear a sound for more than ten seconds, which made him feel at ease.
"There shouldn't be many bugs left." After turning around and saying a word, Zhang Yifei opened a crack in the roller shutter and poked his head out to take a look--the first ray of clear morning light was outside, there was no insect swarm, and the dust cloud was not very thick today, so his eyes were a little dazzling.
The swarm of locusts was gone, as abruptly as it had come, and there were still sporadic remnants of insects around, but there were not many of them—a layer of insect corpses was laid on the ground, like autumn leaves.
Seeing such a situation, Zhang Yifei completely opened the roller shutter and let the eyes from the outside shine in.
A catastrophe has passed, and it seems that everything is bright and calm.
After seeing that there was no danger outside the door, Zhang Yifei went to the dormitory, his younger brother and the girl rescued by Spicy Bun, as well as those parasites controlled by himself, were all there, and there was no danger.
But Zhang Xiaofei and the girl he didn't remember the name had wounds on their arms and neck, which should have been caused by poor protection during the first impact, and the wounds were a little inflamed at this time and needed to be treated.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Yifei explained a few words to them, then made a phone call to the second uncle and drove out - his destination was the hospital this time.
Zhang Xiaofei's wounds are fine, but the injuries of the spicy bun are more serious, so much skin and flesh were torn off from the body overnight, and if they are not treated for a long time, they will definitely fester.
But I went to the hospital, but as soon as I arrived at the entrance of the hospital, I found that it was already full of people - these people did not know how early they got up or when they found the worm gone, but most of them were a dying person who was carried by two intact relatives, and the number can be described as thousands.
The doors of the hospital were locked, and after the catastrophe, it seemed to have ceased to function completely. (To be continued.) )
