#215 - Chapter 215: Request for Assimilation and Ammunition
"Free fire!" the officer commanded.
"Bang, bang, bang~"
The soldiers who had reached the ground quickly opened fire.
The bugs flying in mid-air were hit and fell directly into the river.
They turned out to be mutated cockroaches.
Although the Yujing Yangtze River Bridge had been blown up, the distance between the severed north and south ends was still very short, only about twenty or thirty meters.
They were all gathered at the southern end of the bridge, and then took off into the air, flying towards the northern side.
The soldiers landed at the northern end of the bridge.
"Bang, bang, bang~, bang, bang, bang~"
Cockroaches continued to fly towards the north side, and the sound of gunfire immediately rang out.
The cockroaches that fell into the river, although injured, were still struggling tenaciously in the water.
"Look, what's that?" a soldier pointed to the water surface.
They saw those cockroaches being frantically attacked by a group of small fish with sharp teeth, and they were quickly dismembered beyond recognition.
"Hiss~" The soldiers who saw this couldn't help but feel their scalps tingle.
At this time, they realized that beneath the seemingly peaceful water surface, there was already a murderous intent.
Such murderous intent was even more dangerous than on land.
"Report to the commander, a large number of mutated cockroaches have appeared in Yujing City. They are trying to fly across the Yujing Yangtze River Bridge. There are too many of them, and our ammunition may not last long. We are now requesting air support to bomb the southern side of the Yangtze River Bridge," the officer picked up the satellite phone and reported.
"Be sure to hold the northern side of the bridge, air support will arrive soon," Zongzhen Yue ordered.
"Yes!"
"Bang, bang, bang~, bang, bang, bang~"
The soldiers stood scattered on both sides of the bridge, constantly shooting into the air.
Some of the cockroaches that fell into the water were broken down by the small fish, but some that were not broken down had already struggled to climb onto the north bank of the river.
Their bodies were covered with oil, so they didn't sink easily into the water.
"You guys guard the river bank, be sure to kill all the cockroaches that climb ashore!" the officer ordered.
The cockroaches' shells were very thick, and their vitality was very tenacious, so they were not easily killed.
Therefore, it often took dozens of bullets to kill one cockroach, resulting in a very large consumption of bullets.
Soon, a regiment from the Northwest Military Region and a regiment from the Northeast Military Region arrived one after another and directly joined the battle.
The mutated cockroaches were very large and easy to aim at. And they were all gathered at the broken part of the southern end of the bridge, very concentrated. So the soldiers' defensive pressure was not great.
The most troublesome thing was that the cockroaches constantly falling into the water would drift downstream with the river water.
So they had to send some soldiers along the river bank to chase downstream.
Even injured cockroaches could not be allowed to go ashore easily. If they laid eggs on the north bank, the consequences would be very serious.
Twenty minutes later, the fighter jets arrived.
"Boom~, boom~, boom~"
The south bank of the Yangtze River was subjected to a series of bombings, and suddenly various broken limbs and arms mixed with yellow liquid splashed everywhere.
The remaining section of the Yujing Yangtze River Bridge on the south bank also completely collapsed in the bombing.
Because the cockroaches were too concentrated, this wave of bombing was very effective. More than 80% of the cockroaches were torn apart in this bombing.
This battle lasted for an hour. After all the cockroaches that climbed towards the north bank were killed and thrown into the river,
even the corpses could not be left on the shore.
Who knew which cockroach's abdomen might be carrying a large number of insect eggs, even if it was dead, it was still very dangerous.
At this time, they had to thank the small fish in the water. Their "hard work" saved the soldiers a lot of trouble.
If it weren't for them, the soldiers would have had to catch the cockroaches' corpses and burn them in a concentrated manner.
...
"It won't work to fight like this!" Zongzhen Yue thought with a headache while sitting in the office.
Just one battle mobilized 5 fighter jets and one regiment each from three military regions. The consumption of gasoline and bullets made his heart ache.
If he had to do this a few more times, his Southeast Military Region would be poor.
The key is that the military and political department would not provide support for these weapons and ammunition, it was purely consumption.
Originally, he was thinking of extorting some benefits from the Southwest Military Region. But after all, this battle took place on the territory of his Southeast Military Region, so he couldn't justify asking Yan Zhengping for something.
"Ding Ling Ling~" The phone rang.
He saw that it was Suo Tonghua.
Zongzhen Yue answered the phone.
"Zong Four-Eyes! I don't care, you have to find a way to solve the weapons and ammunition! No one can stand this!" Suo Tonghua shouted on the phone.
It was originally agreed that each military region would solve the weapons and ammunition themselves.
But once something happened, seeing that a large portion of his ammunition reserves were gone, no one felt comfortable.
"Didn't we agree in advance that each military region would solve the weapons and ammunition themselves!" Zongzhen Yue prevaricated.
"Solve my ass! Tens of thousands of bullets are gone in one outing, who the hell can stand that? I don't care, you find a way! Otherwise, I'll withdraw my people!" Suo Tonghua didn't listen at all.
"Aren't you just being a rascal!" Zongzhen Yue felt a little guilty.
"Stop giving me useless talk! You hurry up and find a way!" After speaking, Suo Tonghua hung up the phone directly.
Zongzhen Yue rubbed his forehead and felt overwhelmed.
