Chapter 41: Surrounding the spot for reinforcements?
The appearance of the Abscess Ejector made Yan Fangxu feel a little troublesome.
The pus sprayed from these monsters will form a pool of pus when it falls on the battlefield, and the ground will be corroded until it makes a tingling sound.
No one can stand in this area.
And if you are unlucky enough to be sprayed, the splattered pus will not be corroded when it touches the individual soldier's armor; but when it touches the arms or legs, it can quickly penetrate the clothes and cause a large area of corrosive burns, which will soon occur. This will cause the soldiers to lose their combat effectiveness.
The most unlucky thing is that when the head is sprayed all over the body, the soldier will die screaming.
What kind of biochemical artillery is this?
If these monsters are allowed to spray as much as they want, they might be wiped out here.
But fortunately, firstly, the number of abscess sprayers is not large, and secondly, the spray distance is very close, only fifty meters, not really as far as artillery.
Within a range of fifty meters, even if there are a large number of other abscess monsters covering it, it is still easy to be hit.
After soldiers see the threat posed by the Abscess Spitter, they will also prioritize their firepower on these monsters.
The 3rd Battalion was a newly formed unit, but it was the first to be replaced with the G9 guns produced by the camp. Firearms with excellent power and high stability are the best partners of soldiers. Especially the G9 machine gun type has greater power, faster rate of fire, larger ammunition capacity, and more sustained firepower. When facing these monsters, they are like lawnmowers.
The bullets were scattered like water, and the monsters that stood in front of the abscess sprayer were swept down in pieces, and their bodies were even beaten to pieces. Immediately afterwards, the bullets beat the abscess ejector to pieces.
After paying a certain price, they once again repelled the monster's attack.
It became quiet around the woodland.
In two rounds of attacks, those monsters dropped at least a thousand corpses.
Before this, Yan Fangxu had never seen such a large gathering of monsters in this dense forest.
This incident itself was very unusual, and what happened next gave him a strong smell of conspiracy.
Those monsters seemed to understand that there was little point in continuing to maintain the previous ferocious offensive. They were just giving away lives. They stopped their large-scale attacks, but they didn't leave completely.
The soldiers could see ghosts in the dense forest in the distance from their current location. Those monsters did not leave, but lurked behind the trees in the forest, and their deep malice could still be felt from a distance.
The soldiers, including Yan Fangxu, tried to fire into the dense forest.
Not very effective.
The place they were in was originally the monster's hatching nest. In order to clear the nest, they cut down and burned many trees where the hatched eggs were parasitic, forming a small open space. When those monsters attack, there is no cover within a hundred meters of the soldiers' defensive positions.
However, in the woodland a hundred meters away, the power of the bullets is greatly reduced.
These soldiers did become qualified warriors after a short period of training. But qualified soldiers are not necessarily sharpshooters who always hit the mark. At a distance of 100 meters, it is really difficult to hit an enemy hidden in a dense forest with dim vision and large areas of trees.
With his super military skills and the powerful performance of the electromagnetic rifle in his hand, Yan Fangxu was able to guarantee a perfect hit and destroy him on sight. However, after taking two shots and killing two monsters suspected of being abscess spitters, he stopped firing. gun.
Not only did he stop fighting, he also asked his soldiers to stop firing.
He now realized a problem. The number of enemies was too large. They might have run out of bullets, but they might not be able to kill all the monsters.
Ammunition is limited.
Originally they thought they were just entering the forest to carry out the mission of destroying the hatching nest, not going to fight, so they didn't bring much ammunition reserves.
And even if they really go to war, the ammunition reserves still need to be sent by the logistics force. In the field, how much can you carry with you?
Although Yan Fangxu was very cautious, when he led his team out to perform the mission, he also called a bull cart to drag a cart full of food and ammunition supplies. But that's still not infinite.
If you stick to it, the final result will only be running out of ammunition and food.
He led the team in an attempt to break out, but failed.
After the troops entered the dense forest, their firepower advantage was greatly reduced, and the threats they faced were also greater.
Not only are the 'biochemical artillery' becoming more difficult to destroy and more likely to cause damage to soldiers, but even the ordinary abscess monsters will become a threat. After all, no one could tell from behind which tree such a monster would come out.
The bigger trouble is that no one knows how many monsters are hidden in the surrounding dense forest. If they insist on breaking through, they will have to pay a lot of casualties.
After making preliminary attempts and realizing the difficulties involved, and before casualties occurred, Yan Fangxu ordered the troops to retreat, continue to hold on to their original positions, and requested help from the headquarters.
Soon, he received a reassuring reply.
"Stick where you are, hold on, the Governor will lead the 2nd Infantry Battalion and Marine Commandos to rescue you."
It's really reassuring to get a response like this.
The Governor will not give up on them.
But as time passed, Yan Fangxu's feeling of uneasiness gradually increased.
He sensed wisdom from the behavior of these monsters.
The first two attacks were quite mindless, like the style of these monsters. When they encounter other types of creatures, they will rush upwards without any thought, as if they are not afraid of death.
But at this moment, those monsters took advantage of the terrain of the dense forest to trap them in place, but it was by no means a brainless decision.
Either, intelligence is derived from these monsters; or, there are human factors behind their actions.
Yan Fangxu prefers the latter.
So why did these monsters choose to encircle rather than attack?
Starve them to death here?
Obviously unreliable.
Then their goal...
Did they expect reinforcements?
Is this a conspiracy to encircle the site and bring reinforcements?
Are they going for the Governor?
A series of thoughts flooded into his mind, and Yan Fangxu's thoughts were suddenly confused.
The road to rescue was mostly covered by dense forest terrain. If the governor's team were attacked by a large group of monsters during the march, the consequences would be unimaginable!
He immediately activated the communication equipment again.
This time, he successfully contacted Gu Hang and reported his guess to the governor.
But after hearing his report, Gu Hang just said:
"Don't worry, I have a plan, you take your time."
