Chapter 41, siege and attack reinforcements?
The appearance of the Abscess Sprayer made Yan Fangxu feel a little tricky.
The pus sprayed from these monsters fell onto the battlefield, forming a pool of pus, corroding the ground with a crackling sound.
No one can stand in this place.
If someone is unlucky enough to be sprayed, the splashing pus will only corrode the soldier's armor without causing damage. However, if it touches the arms and legs, it will quickly penetrate the clothes and cause large-scale corrosive burns, which will quickly make the soldier lose his combat effectiveness.
The worst 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 we let these monsters spray as much as they want, they might be wiped out here.
But fortunately, firstly, the number of abscess sprayers was not too large, and secondly, their spraying distance was very close, only fifty meters, which was not as far as artillery.
Within a range of fifty meters, even if there are a large number of other abscess monsters to cover you, it is still easy to be hit.
After seeing the threat posed by the Abscess Bursters, the soldiers will also prioritize their firepower on these monsters.
The 3rd Battalion was a newly formed unit, but it was the first to be equipped with the G9 gun family produced by the camp. The firearms with excellent power and high stability are the best partners for soldiers. Especially the G9 machine gun type, which has greater power, faster firing rate, larger ammunition capacity, and more sustained firepower. When facing these monsters, it is like a lawn mower.
Bullets were scattered like water, and the monsters that stood in front of the abscess sprayer were knocked down in pieces, and their bodies were even smashed into pieces. Then, the bullets smashed the abscess sprayer into pieces.
After paying a certain price, they once again repelled the monster's attack.
The area around the woods became quiet.
After two rounds of attacks, the monsters left behind at least a thousand corpses.
Before this, Yan Fangxu had never seen monsters of such a large scale gathered together in this dense forest.
This incident itself was very unusual, and what happened next made him smell a strong smell of conspiracy.
The monsters seemed to understand that it was meaningless to continue their previous fierce offensive, as it was just a waste of lives. They stopped their large-scale attacks, but did not leave completely.
From where they were, the soldiers could see ghosts in the dense forest in the distance. The monsters did not leave, but hid behind the trees in the forest. Even from a distance, they could still sense their deep malice.
The soldiers, including Yan Fangxu, tried to fire into the dense forest.
The effect is not good.
The area they were in was originally a monster's nest. In order to clean up the nest, they cut down and burned many trees that were parasitized by the eggs hatched here, forming a small open space. When the monsters attacked, they were within a hundred meters of the soldiers' defensive positions without any cover.
However, in the woods a hundred meters away, the power of the bullets was greatly reduced.
These soldiers did become qualified fighters after a short training. But qualified fighters are not necessarily sharpshooters who can hit the target every time. At a distance of 100 meters, it is really not easy to hit the enemy who is hiding in the dense forest with dim vision and large areas of trees blocking the view.
Relying on his superb military skills and the powerful performance of the electromagnetic rifle in his hand, Yan Fangxu was able to ensure that he would hit the target every time he shot and destroy the monster on sight. However, after firing two shots and killing two monsters that were suspected to be abscess sprayers, he stopped shooting.
Not only did he stop fighting, he also ordered his soldiers to cease firing.
He now realized a problem. The number of enemies was too large. They might run out of bullets and still not be able to kill all the monsters.
Ammunition is limited.
They originally thought that they were only entering the woods to carry out the mission of destroying the hatchery, not going to fight, so they did not bring much ammunition reserves.
And even if we really go to war, the ammunition reserves still need to be delivered by the logistics troops. In the field, how much can you carry with you?
Although Yan Fangxu was already very cautious, when he led the team out to carry out the mission, he also called upon a bull cart to tow a cart full of food and ammunition supplies.
But that's still not infinite.
If we continue to hold on, the final result will be running out of ammunition and food.
He led his 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 did the "biochemical artillery" become more difficult to destroy and more likely to cause casualties to the soldiers, but even the ordinary abscess monsters would become threatening. After all, no one could tell from which tree such a monster would pop out.
The bigger problem was that no one knew how many monsters were hiding in the dense forest around them, and if they insisted on breaking out, they would suffer heavy casualties.
After making initial attempts and realizing the difficulties involved, but before any casualties occurred, Yan Fangxu ordered his troops to retreat, continue to hold their ground, and request assistance from headquarters.
Soon, he got a reassuring reply.
"Hold on, hold on. The Governor will lead the 2nd Infantry Battalion and the Marine Commandos to rescue you."
It was really reassuring to get a response like this.
The Governor will not give up on them.
But after a while, the uneasiness in Yan Fangxu's heart gradually grew.
He sensed wisdom from the behavior of these monsters.
The first two attacks were quite mindless, which was the style of these monsters. When they encountered other kinds of creatures, they would just charge forward mindlessly, showing no fear of death at all.
But at this moment, the monsters used the terrain of the dense forest to trap them in place, which was definitely not a decision that could be made without thinking.
Either intelligence has emerged from these monsters, or there are human factors behind their actions.
Yan Fangxu is more inclined to the latter.
Why do these monsters choose to surround instead of attack?
Let them starve to death here?
Obviously unreliable.
Their goal...
Did they expect reinforcements?
Is this a conspiracy to surround and attack the reinforcements?
Are they going after the Governor?
A series of thoughts flooded into Yan Fangxu's mind, and his thoughts suddenly became a little confused.
The roads leading to the rescue were mostly dense forests. If the Governor's team was attacked by a large group of monsters during the march, the consequences would be disastrous!
He immediately activated the communication device again.
This time, he successfully contacted Gu Hang and reported his speculation to the governor.
But after hearing his report, Gu Hang just said:
"Don't worry, I have a plan, just take your time."
