Armor-piercing bullets don't believe in carbon-based monsters

Chapter 299 Pulling someone into trouble

The trigger was pulled, and a gunshot rang out.

Instead of switching the 191 rifle to full-auto mode, Yu Qian aimed it at the monster running wildly nearby and pulled the trigger repeatedly.

"Bang bang bang bang-"

The bullets were fired rhythmically, and after each shot, he quickly adjusted the lead of his shots.

Similarly, the monster seemed to be intentionally dodging the bullets.

Using its extremely high movement speed, the monster charged left and right in front of the Fifth Platoon's position, and could even cleverly use natural cover to avoid direct fire.

The distance quickly closed to within 20 meters.

And this has already entered the monster's attack range.

There were 25 bullets left in Yuqian's magazine.

He decisively switched the speed control to the fully automatic position.

"Bang bang bang bang -"

Bullets rained down, and the blood-red "fetus" was instantly shot down from the sky.

At the same time, the other members of the fifth squad also opened fire, and the finishing fire completely shattered the fetus's body.

"Move positions!"

The squad leader issued another order: Yu Qian replaced the magazine and followed closely behind the squad leader as they sprinted toward the second position.

Behind them, the monsters' vanguard had finally broken through the fragile barrier formed by the corpses of the monsters that had fallen in the first wave of attacks.

Under constant harassment from the flanks and driven by the infantry-tank combined arms groups that acted like "sheepdogs," the gathered beast tide continued to advance towards Banghu.

They are still 25 kilometers away from the Banghu defense line.

Based on the current speed of the beast tide, it will arrive in at most an hour.

Just as the hammer and anvil were about to collide, Shen Yue's command suddenly came through Yu Qian's earpiece.

"More than 10 stray monsters have been discovered in the direction of Yaotou River to the south."

"The infantry-tank coordination team could not arrive in time."

"Fifth Platoon of the infiltration company, quickly retreat to the starting position, and ride the Mengshi to intercept the enemy at the north end of the mountain east of Yaotou River!"

"We cannot allow outcast monsters to grow in number; they must move in the direction we set."

"Otherwise, all the tactics we've devised will be wasted!"

"understand!"

The squad leader in front of Yu Qian suddenly stopped in his tracks, then quickly made a hand gesture and gave the order:
"Return to the starting position to the east!"

"Board the vehicle and proceed to the designated combat location!"

"Towards Beishanwei!"

"Roger that!"

The fifth-class team members stopped and turned east, heading towards their starting position, which was set up at the intersection of the only paved road near Poyang Lake.

They were also clearing out the small monsters that kept appearing along the way, and Yu Qian was shocked to find that the "blood-red fetuses" were becoming more and more numerous.

Yu Qian kept pulling the trigger, forming a dense firepower network with his teammates around him, trying to kill the fetus the moment it appeared, so as to prevent it from becoming more active and posing a greater threat.

Even so, it's impossible for them to precisely remove every fetus.

Those fetuses who escaped the firepower of the fifth squad forced the entire infiltration company to mobilize drone resources to precisely lock onto and kill them.

The already severely insufficient firepower resources were once again forced to be redistributed, exposing huge gaps on the flanks of the beast tide.

And this is precisely why stray monsters appear.

"What the hell is this thing?!"

Yu Qian cursed under his breath and replaced the last magazine on the rifle.

At this point, the squad had already arrived at the starting position. Without any time to rest, everyone immediately began to replenish ammunition and weapons, and then swarmed onto the Mengshi vehicles, carrying their equipment to move towards Beishanwei.

Only then did the class monitor have time to answer the question about the remaining money.

"I have already reported it."

"Based on the leader's judgment, this is very likely the prototype of some kind of Holy Bloodline!"

"A Holy Bloodline?!"

Yu Qian was dumbfounded.

He came from the capital, so of course he knew what the Holy Blood People were all about.

but.
And now you're telling me that the Holy Blood Ones are fetuses conceived by monsters?!
This goes far beyond the understanding of surplus money.

He didn't know what "reproductive isolation" meant, but he did know that it was impossible for humans to have children with other species.

The monster is clearly one of the so-called "other species".

Why can that monster interbreed with humans?
Or is there some other hidden story behind this?
Without a second thought, the Mengshi vehicle had already sped straight down the paved road toward the north end of the mountain.

The close-in weapon system on the remote weapon station continuously fired in bursts, clearing out all living creatures in the vicinity that did not have friendly markings.

Wherever it passed, nothing could withstand the firepower of the rotary machine gun.

This is good news.

Even if those blood fetuses are incredibly fast, they can't possibly outrun radar.

Yu Qian took a deep breath and nervously observed the situation outside the window.

With a screech of brakes, the Mengshi vehicle came to a sudden stop.

"get off!"

At the squad leader's command, everyone pushed open the car doors and rushed out of the windows.

"We're coming!"

"The lone monster is 1 kilometer away from us!"

"Reconnaissance has revealed at least two monsters of level 3 or higher!"

"We don't have many heavy weapons; we have to use the weapons we have to stop them!"

"Set up heavy machine gun positions! Prepare rocket launchers!"

"Hurry! The faster the better!"

"understand!"

The group answered again, and a new position was quickly set up. Less than a minute later, the first monster appeared in their sight.
-
It was an extremely bizarre monster.

A monster that appears to be "floating" in the air, moving rather slowly, but floating at a frighteningly fast speed.

It's like a manta ray that came to land from the deep sea. The membranes on both sides of its body bulge out into huge "air sacs" to support its weight, allowing it to leap hundreds of meters into the air with just a light jump.

From the ground, it is not very large, only a little over ten meters tall.

But when it swoops down from the sky, the sense of oppression it brings is unparalleled.

The wind was getting closer, and Yu Qian waited quietly for orders.

next second.

"Use the remaining money, take it!"

The squad leader gave the order, and Yu Qian pulled the trigger of the rocket launcher without hesitation.

"boom!"

With a soft bang, the rocket shot straight toward the monster that looked like a toad or a manta ray.

In that instant, a sense of foreboding suddenly rose in Yu Qian's mind.

And indeed, just as he had predicted.

A violent explosion occurred the instant the monster was hit by the rocket.

That was an unnatural explosion with a power far exceeding that of a rocket.

"boom!"

A blast of air erupted, and flames swept across the entire sky before turning into a rain of fire that fell to the ground.

"Hydrogen! Hydrogen!"

Yu Qian shouted in a slightly flustered manner.

"It's not hydrogen, it's biogas!"

The squad leader lay down on the ground, his hair singed and curled by the intense heat from the burning methane gas, but he ignored the burning sensation on his skin and continued his attack on the other monster that was following closely behind.

"Boom, boom, boom—"

The sound of sniper grenades rang out rhythmically, and a huge arthropod convulsed and fell, the blood gushing from its wounds emitting an eerie glow.

"coming!"

The squad leader's voice echoed in my ears.

Yu Qian looked up and saw that the remaining dozen or so monsters of various shapes were charging straight toward him.

He was 1 kilometer away. He could already clearly see the monster's face.

Ten people against ten monsters.

At this moment, the intensity of the battle between Lian and the monster instantly surged!

Meanwhile, on the Banghu defense line.

The hastily organized "expeditionary force" had been arranged into two columns by He Shuo using a simple and crude formation.

The first column of expeditionary soldiers held the most rudimentary Type 75 assault rifles, while behind them, in a column mainly composed of veterans, were scattered firing positions set up with heavy machine guns and rocket launchers.

Such a configuration may not be considered very fair, but He Shuo knew that given the limited weapons and manpower, it was the best arrangement he could make.

Using the terrain of Banghu Lake, he could easily reduce the speed and agility of those huge monsters. Once they were tied down, they would be met with a barrage of bullets and accurately fired rockets.

"Keep formation!"

"Keep an eye on the people around you!"

"Follow my orders, do whatever I tell you to do!"

"Don't worry! We have Banghu Lake as a natural barrier!"

"These monsters can't get through!"

"Use the lake as cover! This will be our strongest fortification!"

"Don't back down! Don't be afraid!"

"Fear will kill you! Fearlessness will prevent you from dying!"

He Shuo walked back and forth in the group, shouting encouragement, and this "encouragement" seemed to really work.

At least, even after witnessing the massive beast tide in the distance, not a single person in the expeditionary force deserted.
-
Of course, the bigger reason might be that they had already "desensitized" themselves in the previous battle and then witnessed He Shuo's extremely tough methods.

So much so that everyone here realized that rather than running away and facing certain death, they might as well try their luck and see if they could escape.

The formation remained stable, and He Shuo continuously mobilized the unmanned combat cluster, using the speed and size of the monsters in the distance as a reference to organize flexible firepower configurations.

He handled the situation with ease, but Li Xian, standing beside him, was extremely nervous.

The final test is coming.

Whether this team can withstand the pressure as the regimental commander of the Chinese army said will perhaps be answered in a few minutes.

He still lacked confidence.

But at this point, he knew he had no chance to escape.

"So, how exactly do you plan to fight?"

Li Xian looked at He Shuo, who was standing calmly at the back of the line, and couldn't help but ask.

"Fight according to plan."

He Shuo stared at the PDA in his hand and answered without looking up:
"Our first priority is to stop the first wave of the beast tide and keep them at bay on the south side of Banghu Lake for at least half an hour."

"Half an hour later, bombers from Base 011 arrived and dropped bombs on the densely packed beast horde."

"According to Fuxi's calculations, this round of bombing will disable at least 20 monsters."

"After suffering huge losses, the true commanders of the beast tide will inevitably have to reassess the feasibility of their tactics."

“The mind-computer interface monsters will stop, and once they stop, they will fall into the encirclement we have prepared in advance.”

"At that time, the hammer and anvil tactic will truly be effective."

"But that's on the condition that we can hold them off for half an hour!"

Li Xian spoke up eagerly, but He Shuo ignored him.

"Notify all combat personnel to prepare for action!"

He Shuo decisively gave the order:

"The beast tide has advanced to within 500 meters."

"Ten seconds left, prepare to attack!"

".clear."

Li Xian gritted his teeth and ran to relay the order to the messenger.

Meanwhile, the messengers, composed of Holy Blood members, quickly dispersed to various parts of the defensive line, awaiting further orders from He Shuo.

400 m.

Li Xian's breathing became more rapid, and even his hands trembled slightly.

He hadn't been on a real battlefield for so long that even now, in this moment of life-or-death struggle, he still couldn't calm down.

300 m.

The monster's figure gradually appeared in the smoke and dust.

Li Xiang raised his Type 75 rifle, identical to those used by other expeditionary forces, and awaited the order to fire.
-
But at that moment, gunshots suddenly rang out from the ranks.

"boom!"

"Bang bang bang bang -"

Li Xian subconsciously turned around and was shocked to find that it was an overly nervous expeditionary soldier who had pulled the trigger before the order was given after seeing the monster.

It’s over.

A thought flashed through Li Xian's mind.

This expeditionary force already had pitifully scarce firepower resources, and the outcome of battles often hinged on the smallest of margins.

The expeditionary force opened fire prematurely.

Even if it's just one person, in the face of a catastrophic chain reaction, everyone will open fire!
Sure enough, just as he had predicted, after the first shot rang out, gunfire erupted along the entire defensive line!
The expeditionary soldiers, who were not yet very familiar with their weapons, frantically pulled the triggers, and in just a few seconds, the bullets in the chambers were emptied!

When the rifles clicked to signal that the bullets were exhausted, the soldiers suddenly realized their mistake.

They frantically tried to change the magazine, but by then the monster had already closed to within 200 meters.

Li Xian turned around in a panic to see He Shuo's reaction, only to find that the other party seemed to have expected it all along and was not surprised at all by this sudden situation.

He Shuo remained calm and continued to issue orders with composure.

"Second column, prepare!"

"aim!"

"Fire!"

The moment the order was given, heavy machine guns, rocket launchers, 107mm rockets, rifles, and recoilless rifles...
All of the team's heavy firepower was unleashed.

Meanwhile, unmanned combat swarms, under the command of an unseen force, began to carry out combat missions unique to them.

Loitering munitions were released one after another, and rockets rained down on the monsters.

The shockwave from the explosion did kill several monsters and slowed their advance.

But this
Isn't this just a drop in the ocean?
That's too late.

The first monster had already plunged into the lake, followed closely by many more monsters that had not yet encountered effective attacks, monsters that were huge in size but incredibly agile.

How do I block them?

Half an hour?

It can't stop them even for a minute!

As the monster drew closer, Li Xian pulled the trigger.

"Bang bang bang bang -"

The bullets rained down, taking away his last glimmer of hope.

it's useless.

The number of heavy weapons is too small, and their lethality is too weak.

It's simply impossible to stop this wave of beasts!

It's all deceptive.

Li Xian lowered the gun barrel with a wry smile.
-
But at that very moment, a huge explosion suddenly rang out.

"boom!"

"Boom boom boom!"

Li Xian looked up in surprise.

Smoke and sparks burst forth amidst the monsters.

巨炮
Li Xian turned to look at He Shuo, then looked back at the direction from which the shells had come.

Has the real support from the Chinese army arrived?
-
and many more.

Li Xian suddenly realized.

The sound of cannon fire did not come from the Huaxia Army, nor from "Jinling New City," but from Jiujiang!
He Shuo never imagined that he could really hold off the beast tide with just 300 people.

He dragged Jiujiang into this mess too!
