One Hundred and Nine Ten Thousand Ants Galloping (3)

The battle entered a fierce stalemate phase. Everyone knew that the intense consumption of ammunition meant that the stalemate phase would be very short. Once the ammunition was exhausted, Long Jian's only choice was to lead his men to fight to the death, let all the soldiers sacrifice before ordinary people, and fulfill their oath to protect the people with their lives.

Long Jianguo grabbed the microphone of the signalman with a tragic heart: "Command center, our ammunition consumption is serious, and we can only hold on for two minutes at most. Repeat, hold on for two more minutes at most!"

After a while, a steady voice came from the radio: "Command center received, Long Jianguo, you must hold on with the troops, do you hear clearly, you must hold on!"

"I will hold on to the last moment, even if it is...fighting with bayonets!"

Fighting giant ants with bayonets? Long Jianguo dared not imagine how tragic that would be, but as a real soldier, he must stand in front of the people without hesitation and unconditionally when danger comes.

Want to do whatever you want? Yes, but you must step over the bodies of soldiers first.

"Humph, you want to go!" After that, the communication was cut off, Long Jianguo took a deep breath, and never said a word again.

Ye Han, who was on the armored car, had just put on a new ammunition belt when he suddenly heard a sharp whistle in the air.

His mind was shocked, and he subconsciously shouted: "Artillery--"

Before the long tail sound ended, Ye Han saw the left front exploded, the soil and sand scattered in the flames, and dozens of giant ants nearby were all blown away by the explosion.

Hundreds of giant ants were startled by the explosion, and their supersonic jaws instinctively pressed against the ground and instantly bounced into the air.

However, as soon as they bounced up, a large number of shells fell from the sky, and dense explosions appeared on both sides of the train at the same time. A large number of giant ants died in the explosion, and the tide-like ant colony was immediately cut in half by the artillery fire, and the ant colony close to the train immediately became rootless duckweed.

However, the giant ants were not aware of their own situation and still tried their best to attack the car.

The artillery fire from the sky brought not only the death of a large number of giant ants, but also a comprehensive improvement in morale. The originally depressed morale of the soldiers instantly exploded, and all kinds of weapons poured ammunition on the giant ants.

Not to mention the three machine guns at the rear of the car, the gushing bullets ruthlessly harvested the lives of the giant ants.

The battle took a 180-degree turn at this moment.

Ye Han, who witnessed this scene, was puzzled. Where did the artillery come from? Is there another artillery group of our army near the ant-occupied area?

Artillery is not a rocket launcher. Even if it is a bottom-discharge extended-range projectile, the maximum range is only 70 kilometers, and the location of the train is hundreds of kilometers away from Fuyun.

After the Jinghu incident, Jingjiang was undoubtedly the focus of national attention. In order to defend against insect pests, other surrounding cities made comprehensive preparations based on Jingjiang's experience. The most important one was to clear the fields and build strong defenses. In addition to gathering scattered villages to the urban area for resettlement, the garrisons also moved closer to the city.

Under such circumstances, there should be no troops scattered around Fuyun. Where exactly is the position of this artillery?

While Ye Han was thinking wildly, the artillery fire from afar began to extend to the ant pit layer by layer, row by row. The ant colonies along the way suffered countless casualties in the earth-shattering explosion. At a glance, there were complete or broken giant ant corpses everywhere.

Xu Jin's barrage finally stopped when he approached the ant pit. The ant colonies at the bottom of the pit still rushed out of the pit unwillingly, but the smell of burning and the smell of gunpowder from the explosion had completely drowned the smell of people. Groups of giant ants shuttled back and forth at the edge of the pit, but no giant ant knew which way to run.

At this time, a sharp whistle sounded again in the sky. Ye Han was busy eliminating the giant ants remaining near the train. He continued to fire without raising his head until a huge flame suddenly exploded above the ant pit. The dull roar and strong shock waves spread all around, which startled Ye Han to raise his head.

"Air-fuel bomb?" Ye Han blurted out, and quickly crouched in the bunker.

Then the wild hot wind brought by the shock wave blew over the bunker. When Ye Han raised his head again, there was no ant that could still move near the ant pit, only a pile of ant corpses burning fiercely.

Ye Han could not see the situation at the bottom of the ant pit, but the whole ant pit had burst into high flames like an erupting volcano, and the situation at the bottom of the pit could be imagined.

Ye Han was completely relieved. What he had to do now was to kill all the giant ants that threatened the train!

However, the problem soon came to him again. He was on the side above the armored car. Due to the obstruction of the car, the area near the front cars was his blind spot.

Under normal circumstances, Ye Han could solve the problem as long as he moved the machine gun outward, but the heavy machine gun was mounted on a tripod, and the tripod was welded to the roof, and there was no way to move it.

The machine gun could be removed from the tripod, but the recoil of the heavy machine gun was extremely strong. This type of machine gun did not have a buttstock or two ankle brackets. Without the support of the tripod, Ye Han could not even put the machine gun on the top of the arched carriage, let alone find any way to control the landing point of the bullet, which was equivalent to wasting the machine gun.

At this moment, a regular low hum came from the west. Ye Han put his hand on his forehead and looked far away, and immediately saw several helicopters flying directly to the train.

Two smaller helicopters suddenly accelerated and broke away from the formation. In just over ten seconds, they flew over the train, aimed at the train and lowered their noses. The six-barreled aviation machine gun under the belly sprayed a string of dense fireworks.

The firepower of the helicopter was fast and accurate. The giant ants on both sides of the train suffered heavy casualties. The remaining giant ants were few in number and could no longer threaten the safety of the train. They were quickly annihilated by the soldiers in the car.

At this point, the danger of the train was completely eliminated.

Two Mi-171 helicopters flew over the train and slowly landed behind it.

Zhao Yan received a notice from Long Jianguo and learned that the mission of the two helicopters was to transport personnel across the ant-occupied area. He was overjoyed and immediately informed the whole train of the good news and organized the personnel to get off the train and board the plane in an orderly manner.

The two huge helicopters have an amazing load capacity. There is still a lot of space for 40 people in the spacious cabin. After hearing the pilot say that there is enough load redundancy, Zhao Yan simply stuffed more than 20 people into the plane and filled the cabin.

Two helicopters can transport 120 people at a time. It only takes five round trips to transport everyone to the other side of the ant-occupied area. In addition, the distance for transporting troops is only six round trips.

Ye Han silently calculated that the straight-line distance between the train location and the receiving location is less than seven kilometers. At the cruising speed of 240 kilometers per hour of the Mi-171, it only takes a little over seven minutes to go back and forth. With the time for boarding and disembarking, it will take more than a quarter of an hour.
