Chapter 8: Burst

After receiving the heavy ammunition, Ling Hao began to press the magazine as soon as possible.

The ordinary machine gun bullets that are common to heavy machine guns cannot meet his needs at all, and the armor-piercing ammunition that is more expensive but more lethal to monsters and insects is obviously more in line with the identity of 'cannon sniper'.

The short rest time is not long, and there are still many places on the small island that have not been cleaned up, especially the abrupt and towering extinct volcano not far away, surrounded by dense forests, and it is very likely that there are new strange insects that have not yet been defeated.

A number of unmanned reconnaissance planes have already set out to reconnoiter the entire extinct volcano and its surroundings from all directions and angles.

This extinct volcano abruptly rises in the middle of the island in the shape of a giant bowl, with a long-dormant eruption crater in the middle, and now an unfathomable mountaintop lake.

Ling Hao looked at the real-time reconnaissance screen on the individual tactical computer very seriously, the area of the lake on the top of the mountain was not large, only about the size of a football field, it was extraordinarily calm like a mirror, and no one knew what was in the depths of the faint green water.

The sun is rising high, and it is about to become a poisonous sun, and the high temperature is approaching step by step, and the entire island must be taken as soon as possible, otherwise the construction progress of the engineering troops will be delayed.

The carpet search soon began, as the steep slope and the trees made it impossible for any vehicle to climb the hill to follow, and the mechanized infantry had to return to the infantry and measure the distance from the foot to the top of the mountain step by step.

Multiple columns approached the top of the hill, and helicopter gunships taking off from the amphibious dock landing ships patrolled in the air, which could provide rapid fire cover at any time.

Walking slowly all the way, in a V-shaped formation, the company that slowly searched the mountain did not go fast.

Ling Hao was arranged to walk at the back of the line, ready to use the large-caliber sniper rifle in his arms to carry out a fatal blow.

From time to time, there were bursts of gunfire in front of the team, and the sound of da-da

The closer you get to the crater, the steeper the slope becomes, and the scouts who are walking in the front are already vigilantly approaching the col, and the entire laketop is in view.

The turquoise waters of the lake are as quiet as a mirror, and around the lake, there are also some aquatic plants growing in the dark, and a helicopter gunship carrying anti-tank missiles and rocket launchers flies over the lake, and the air fanned by the blades of the paddles ripples on the surface of the lake.

It's just this ripple, it's weird.

The calm surface of the lake soon became rippled, and the scouts on the shore involuntarily clenched their assault rifles, fired a few tentative shots, and fired a grenade.

With a bang, the grenade exploded on the calm lake and the waves of water fell from the sky, but the originally quiet lake suddenly swelled.

"There are monsters!"

"There are monsters!"

In the radio band, there was a roaring sound.

The sound of gunfire soon rang out like fried beans, and the bullets that popped into the water did not know where to kill.

Wow!

There was a strange sound, and a monster that had never been seen before suddenly jumped out of the lake, and immediately bit a soldier when it left the water.

The bloody mouth made the soldier bite off from the waist into two on the spot, and its long tail with amazing strength, more like a dragon swinging its tail, slammed into several soldiers who were shooting with guns, and knocked them directly out of the air.

The giant beast, which is more than ten meters long and resembles a crocodile in height, is murderous as soon as it reaches the shore, and in just a few seconds, more than a dozen soldiers either die from its bloody mouth, or are whipped out of the mountain by its long tail whip.

The helicopter gunship hovering in the air immediately turned its course, and the rocket launcher immediately launched several rockets.

The violent explosion enveloped the crocodile beast, not seriously injuring it, but instead inspiring its incomparably vicious spirit, its limbs slamming to the ground, and it tried to knock off the gunship with its fierce tail.

The helicopter dodged lightly, far away from the vicious crocodile, and the crocodile beast that landed again, before it could breathe, there were several rockets dragging long tails of flames, slamming into the torso.

The surging blast and shock waves, especially the high-speed flying fragments, slashed off the crocodile's layers of flesh and skin, revealing hideous and terrifying bloody wounds.

It was completely enraged, completely angry.

The powerful limbs kicked hard, and the huge body flew out of the mountain deftly, but the hillside was steep, and it did not stand firmly, but rolled down the hillside, smashing down many trees.

Several nearby soldiers couldn't escape and were crushed to death on the spot, and the crocodile beast, which took advantage of the momentum to roll up, bit a soldier quite ferociously, and even swallowed all the guns into his stomach with a grunt, and the chewing action was omitted.

Bang!

A violent gunshot rang out, and Ling Hao fired.

Not far from the crocodile beast, he aimed at the eyes that should be relatively fragile for any animal, especially the crocodile beast's eyeballs, which are almost the size of a volleyball, and are even easier to aim.

This accurate shot completely blew up one of the crocodile beast's eyeballs on the spot, and because Ling Hao used an armor-piercing deflagration bomb, there were also many small warhead fragments that stabbed into the crocodile beast's head tissue.

In this way, it stimulates its ferocity even more.

Blood flowed from its eye sockets, and the crocodile beast only had one eye left, and it ran frantically when it saw a large number of people, and along the way, all the trees in its path were smashed off by it on the spot, and many soldiers who could not avoid it were also injured.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The crocodile beast, which had its back to Ling Hao and jumped directly towards the more densely populated area of the troops below the mountain, was shot three times by Ling Hao in succession.

Of these three shots, Ling Hao chose to kill its hind hooves.

The hind hooves, which are several times thicker than the legs of an elephant, have a thick layer of pale gray skin, but no matter how thick the skin is, it is obvious that it cannot resist the attack of armor-piercing bullets.

One ordinary 12.7 mm bullet is enough for an adult man to be interrupted by a stopper.

And the 3 armor-piercing deflagration bombs, which hit one of the crocodile beast's hind hooves in a row, are also surprisingly good.

The entire thick paw of the foot was blown off, and the badly injured crocodile beast finally lost the ability to rush forward, and instead fell into an unprecedented dense firepower.

For a time, light and heavy machine guns, assault rifles, grenades, mortar shells, rockets, etc., and even anti-tank missiles were used.

In the blink of an eye, the crocodile beast that had just run away was completely turned into minced meat, and a large stream of blood flowed on the spot.

Angry, it obviously underestimated the intensity of the firepower of the mechanized troops, so it crashed headlong into the wall of fire, and it was reasonable to be killed on the spot in minutes, but it had caused more than 20 casualties before, and the lethality was also very terrifying.

Most of the wounded soldiers were wounded by the violent collision, and the medics quickly went up the hill to treat the wounded, while the rest of the troops quickly gathered at the top of the hill.

In the beautiful calm mountaintop lake, such a monster can emerge, similar to a crocodile but several times the size, and the lake made by a small volcanic vent can accommodate it.

Therefore, the lake must be a deep pool, and the depth charges made on the spot, mainly using 30 kilograms of high explosives, quickly activate the timer, which is suspended by helicopters and free-falls from the sky, allowing it to penetrate deep into the bottom of the lake.

Collapse...... Rumble!

The deafening explosion, the shaking of the ground and the shaking of the mountains, all the officers and soldiers who had taken shelter far away were shocked by the scene in front of them.

The extinct volcano apparently had extremely hard lava, and instead of completely collapsing it by a violent explosion, it exploded with energy from the bottom of the deep lake in its eruption crater, changing the structure of the depths and causing the lake to soar into the air, like a super fountain in the middle of a jet.

One by one, the petite crocodile beasts were shocked out, although they were petite, but they were almost the size of crocodiles in the original world, and after falling to the ground one by one, except for those who were stunned, they couldn't help but bite and tear whoever they caught.

In the face of these little beasts, the troops naturally quickly dealt with them, and the occupation and clean-up of the island soon came to an end, and there were no monsters that could affect the actual occupation of the army.

The air-cushion landing craft were unprecedentedly busy, and a large amount of construction materials were quickly transported ashore.

Using modular components, the engineering troops began to assemble the wharf that had penetrated into the sea, so that the ro-ro cargo ships transporting the materials could send the materials ashore as soon as possible.

The troops participating in the battle did not gather and assemble at the first time, cleaning the battlefield was a necessary process, and Ling Hao's interest was focused on the crocodile beast that was killed.

It was huge and had been beaten into a sieve at this moment, and the minced flesh was splattered all over the ground, and the infantry boots were sticky on the ground.

Bowing down to search carefully, Ling Hao used a sharp dagger to cut through the foul-smelling brain, and after searching for a long time, he couldn't find what he was looking for.

"It's strange, such a powerful crocodile beast has not evolved ......"

Just as he was talking to himself, Luo Wei, who was approaching, shouted loudly: "Ling Hao, what are you looking for?" It's disgusting, isn't it? ”

"No, nothing!"

Ling Hao wiped the dagger off the blood stains and inserted it back into the scabbard, carried the heavy anti-materiel sniper rifle on his back, and followed Luo Wei to help carry the remains of his comrades who had died.

If it weren't for the giant crocodile beast that suddenly popped out of the deep lake, this landing battle would have been a perfect operation with zero casualties, but its sudden appearance caused 10 deaths and 17 injuries of varying degrees in a very short period of time.

Carrying the body down the mountain on a stretcher, Ling Hao and Luo Wei took off their military caps and paid silent tribute.

A minute later, they handed over the body to a Medic wearing a Red Cross armband, who would do a simple clean-up and necessary registration before handing it over by helicopter to be airlifted back to the amphibious dock landing ship for refrigeration and embalming.

The mood was a little heavy, Luo Wei's expression was very solemn, and Ling Hao was the same, the two of them shook their heads helplessly and put on their helmets again, and walked silently towards the assembly place of the first company.

The sun is shining, and the red flag is waving.

The scorching heat scorched the earth, and even the normally salty and humid sea breeze became hot and dry.

Squatting on the ground with the lunch box and eating, Ling Hao and other veterans devoured and ate very quickly, and those recruits seemed to be still indulging in the bloody battle in the morning, no matter how delicious the food was, they had little appetite, because at their feet, the flesh and blood of the insects had condensed with the soil, and the stench became more and more unpleasant.
