Accompanied by the sound of "whooshing" piercing the air and the rising thick smoke, two rocket launcher groups fired at the same time from some artillery positions on the eastern fortress group and an artillery position somewhere behind.
The sharp whistling sound was transmitted at the speed of sound and spread to the depths of the north bank of Black Creek in less than a second, making the parasitic brain behind the scenes feel the fear of being dominated again. Almost at the same time, dense explosions sounded one after another.
In order to prevent accidental damage, the rocket launcher group's shooting was aimed at the first two sections of the pontoon bridge of the parasite. Most of the rockets flew over a distance of more than ten meters and hit the target area.
Violent explosions sounded one after another, the air was violently pulled and shaken by invisible sound waves, the pontoon was torn apart by the impact of rockets, or was torn apart by the waves of water, those parasites that used their own bodies as fasteners The ants were helpless in the face of the huge power of chemical energy. The pontoon components they hooked on broke apart together with their own bodies, and turned into garbage in the stream and were washed away.
A large number of parasitic armies that were passing through three sections of pontoon bridges and traveling on land among multiple streams were hit hard by the explosions. The violent explosions and splashing shrapnel caused them to suffer heavy losses. They sank into the water or were washed away. There are also not a few who leave.
A few rockets still deviated from the route, some hit outside the combat zone, and some hit the last section of the pontoon area, and even accidentally injured the defenders.
The killing effect of the rockets exploded here was even stronger. Whether it was the parasitic water bugs that formed the pontoon, or the parasitic organisms that crowded the shore like a swarm of bees in a hive, they were all shattered to pieces by the explosion of the rockets.
A rocket exploded right next to a parasitic field turtle, sending up a high column of water. This parasitic field turtle was not directly hit, but the huge water pressure effect made its internal organs twist and break as if being hit by a huge stone.
The seemingly undamaged parasitic field turtle was quickly killed, and blood flowed from the pores and cracks everywhere.
A huge piece of shrapnel soared from the explosion site. In the eyes of some bugs with good dynamic vision, they can still catch traces of the shrapnel. They watched it spin and create a bloody storm in the insect swarm until it fell into the insect swarm far away. On the position of the civilized ant alliance, a few unlucky ant warriors were suppressed.
This time the rocket launcher fired, the parasitic creatures were not frightened and the whole army collapsed like before. Although the parasitic brains themselves were afraid of this weapon, they were in a safe rear and would not be affected. The ordinary people on the front line The death and injury of the parasitic organism cannot touch the parasitic brain.
The parasitic brains strengthened their mental connection with the parasites in time, suppressed the instinctive panic of most of the parasites, and survived this wave of blows!
The real lethality of the rocket launcher is not that strong. It is more of a mental blow caused by an irresistible feeling. After the mental blow partially fails, the parasitic army is still a formidable opponent.
Zhu Jue was not too surprised when he learned that the parasitic army had not collapsed. War is never about relying on one or two powerful weapons to do whatever you want. In the final analysis, it still depends on the combatants themselves.
Fortunately, this wave of rocket strikes has accomplished most of its intended goals, causing the first two sections of the pontoon bridge of the parasitic army to basically collapse, and the third section of the pontoon bridge to be partially damaged. Tens of thousands of parasites will not be supported by the troops behind them in a short period of time.
At this time, the parasitic creatures were frantically repairing the pontoon. There was not enough building materials. The parasitic brain sensed the danger of the forward troops, so it ordered some weak ants and insect beasts to rush into the water, drown themselves, and use the corpses to repair it. gap.
Under such crazy repairs, in less than half an hour, these pontoon bridges will be capable of traffic again!
Taking advantage of the favorable opportunity created by rocket fire, the civilized ant coalition immediately launched a counterattack.
The six tanks of the King of Gods Legion, which were already in place on both wings, were led by "Gun II" and "Rambo Wan II" respectively, cutting in from both sides of the battlefield like magic soldiers descending from the sky.
As if the ants' jaws equipped with jaw knives could easily cut through the soft flesh of maggots, the civilized ant coalition's counterattack was progressing smoothly at first.
The parasitic army on the south bank was already on the verge of collapse due to the fear of being affected by rockets, and it relied on the pressure of the parasitic brain to maintain stability.
Their formation was also very unfavorable. They were crowded together and spread out horizontally. They did not establish a stable flank position. At this time, they were broken through as soon as they were attacked from the flank.
The large and medium-sized beetles of the tank troops, driven by their drivers, spread out their six limbs one after another and ran over the parasites without stopping. The gunner on the back of the tank seizes every shooting opportunity and gives priority to using the vehicle-mounted artillery to shoot at close range targets with greater threats or larger targets. The accompanying infantry followed closely, attacking the parasitic organisms that tried to launch a counterattack, and at the same time eliminating the threat of parasitic mycelium.
Following the tank troops of the King of Angels Legion, there were assault troops composed of infantrymen of the King of Angels Legion, bullet ant warriors, marching ant warriors, etc., swarming in through the opened gap to expand the results of the battle.
The front line of the civilized ant coalition forces on the defensive immediately launched a full-scale counterattack.
For a time, the more than 100,000 parasitic army hanging alone on the south bank without reinforcements was squeezed by counterattacks from the east, south and west. A large number of parasitic ants and insect beasts died in the battle, and the rest were squeezed together. More and more dense. Many parasites that were too close to the stream were pushed directly into the water, struggling in the gentle current, trying in vain to climb back onto the bank where they no longer had a foothold.
As for the civilized ant coalition, after facing increasingly dense enemy forces, their assault force was exhausted and they had to fall into a dogfight.
"Gun II" and "Rambo Van II" successively led the tank troops to evacuate. The tank regiment responsible for the assault was trapped in such a melee that was almost unable to move. Its combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, and the losses increased sharply. It was not a wise approach.
The battle once again entered a stalemate and a flesh-and-blood grinding mill-like phase of consumption, but this time the offensive and defensive forces were at odds with each other.
But soon, as the emergency repairs of the pontoon were completed, the parasitic organisms that came in like a roaring tide braved artillery fire and once again supported the south bank. The parasitic army, which was squeezed like a taut spring, also showed resilience and combat effectiveness, and gradually regained its strength. Seize the initiative and start to counterattack.
This time, the front line of the civilized ant coalition was squeezed back step by step by the huge pressure. By about one or two o'clock in the afternoon, the front line had returned to the position before the rocket fire.
Zhu Jue was patiently waiting for the opportunity. The rocket launcher unit had been reloaded and was only waiting for his order.
At this time, these rocket launchers still have 5 shooting bases, and the ammunition is much more abundant than last time, which also gives Zhu Jue more confidence!
