At this time, in the Honghu Lake area of Hubei Province, the worker ant bodies of alien creatures are constantly digging through the ice and pouring out from the bottom of the lake like a tide.
Honghu Lake is located at the junction of Hubei Province and Hunan Province, adjacent to the Yangtze River, and is part of the ancient Yunmengze.
After the sea level of the entire Blue Star rose, Honghu Lake has also been connected with the Yangtze River and Dongting Lake to form a whole.
After the temperature dropped, nature was frozen into an ice sheet like Dongting Lake, and was even connected to Dongting Lake.
After the invasion of alien creatures, although the military also deployed a defense line here, because it is adjacent to the city where Chen Xin is located, the troops there are well-equipped and are very effective in containing the attacks of alien creatures, leading to the attack of alien creatures. The focus is mostly on that.
In the Honghu area, the offensive is not as intense. Although there are still overwhelming alien creatures here, compared to other lines of defense, it is relatively easy to deal with them.
After all, alien creatures are still mainly emerging from around Junshan Island. The city where Chen Xin is located is the first to be attacked, and the surrounding areas require alien creatures to run for a while before they can reach them.
But now, alien creatures have apparently dug a passage from the Junshan Island area to the Honghu Lake area, and are continuously pouring out from the bottom of the Honghu Lake.
Human beings have already seen the ability of alien creatures to burrow. This is how alien creatures emerge from the ground in the entire West Dongting Lake area.
It's just that in the past, the Honghu area was mainly populated by alien creatures that came out from the vicinity of Junshan Island. There were no alien creatures that emerged from the ground in the Honghu area, so everyone subconsciously ignored this possibility.
Although it is not that there is no defense, but with the continuous attacks of alien creatures, everyone's energy is focused on resisting the existing attacks, so there is no extra energy to guard against possible dangers.
In fact, even if you are prepared, it will not have any effect.
The number of alien creatures is astonishing. Even if the Honghu area has been dealing with it relatively easily before, this is only compared to other areas.
Although I can't say that I am exhausted, I can't muster any extra strength.
Therefore, when alien creatures emerged from under the Honghu Lake, the entire defense line in the Honghu Lake area became precarious and even on the verge of collapse.
All the troops on the defense line had moved up, and the troops who had taken a break from rotation had also regrouped and returned to the defense line.
However, even so, it is still difficult for them to withstand the attack of alien creatures at this time.
The commander stationed at this defense line naturally called for reinforcements as soon as possible, but it would take time for the reinforcements to arrive.
And because the alien creatures emerged directly from the bottom of Hong Lake, even the air force's bombing could only intercept the original offensive coming from the direction of Dongting Lake along the Yangtze River, but could not effectively contain the attack launched directly from under Hong Lake.
At this time, we can only rely on the soldiers on the front line to resist with their flesh and blood.
Although the artillery in the rear quickly started roaring, just like the trench warfare in World War I and World War II, if it is a human sea tactic regardless of the cost, even if there is enough artillery fire, it is difficult to say that it can completely suppress the opponent's attack.
After all, in modern warfare, such tactics have long been eliminated, and the armies of various countries will not adopt this method of using human lives to achieve victory.
But for alien creatures, the offspring are just cannon fodder anyway. The spawned offspring will be consumed by themselves even if they are left alone, so they might as well be thrown into the battlefield as cannon fodder.
So this leads to the fact that although a cannonball explodes among alien creatures on the battlefield and can clear a large open space, in the next moment, the open space cleared by the explosion will be occupied by the alien creatures that follow. Filled up, as if the shelling just now was just an illusion.
Although the artillerymen at the rear continued to bombard with the momentum of destroying the gun barrels, which indeed reduced the pressure on the front line greatly, as more and more new passages appeared under Honghu Lake, the attacks on the defense line were withered. More and more.
If there is no support, it will only be a matter of time before the entire defense line collapses and falls.
Fortunately, the military organized reinforcements as soon as it received the request for help. The soldiers on the defense line risked their lives to gain precious time by resisting the attack of alien creatures. The first batch of reinforcements finally arrived. Arrived.
Seeing several large helicopters lowering their altitude in front of the position and then dropping the Titans they carried, many people were stunned by this method of reinforcement.
However, although the reinforcement method is exaggerated, the effect is immediate.
As this batch of fifty Titans entered the battlefield, they quickly cooperated with a wave of helicopter offensives and cleared away a number of alien creatures in front of the position, allowing the soldiers on this section of the defense line to take a breather. tone.
Although the investment of fifty Titans could not change the situation of the battle, and the advantages they created were quickly offset by the alien creatures that continued to flow in like a tide, the arrival of reinforcements still gave the warriors fighting on the defense line an extremely powerful blow. Great morale booster.
And this was only the first batch of reinforcements. Although subsequent reinforcements did not arrive on the battlefield as quickly as they did, they were also arriving one after another. This gave the frontline soldiers and commanders a little more confidence in holding on to the defense line.
It's just that these commanders also know that although the arrival of reinforcements can control the situation at hand, if the problem of alien creatures constantly pouring out under Hong Lake cannot be solved, the situation will not change.
After all, what the Honghu defense line now needs to face is attacks from both the surface of East Dongting Lake and the bottom of Honghu. The air force's bombing can block the attack from East Dongting Lake for a while, but it cannot stop it forever.
Moreover, under the Honghu Lake, more and more alien creatures are digging through the ice and emerging, as if the alien creatures have opened an underground passage leading here.
More and more alien creatures are gradually offsetting the advantages brought by the arrival of reinforcements, causing the war situation to still slide towards an unfavorable situation.
"Damn it, if only we could block the passage to the bottom of the lake!" In the command post of the Honghu Defense Line, an officer hammered the table hard. There were large red arrows marked on the map in front of him. At a glance, The large swath of red makes the blue line of defense look so precarious.
Each red arrow represents an attack by alien creatures, and each arrow represents a discovered passage.
It doesn't take much professional knowledge to see from the map that if we can't find a way to destroy these passages, the alien creatures' offensive will not stop.
But trying to blow up the passage is tantamount to fantasy.
So far, humans have discovered many underground passages for alien creatures, but there are only a few that can really blow them up, except for the passage that Chen Xin blew up on Junshan Island when he first encountered them. The passage was destroyed at great expense.
At present, humans have no good way to destroy the underground passages of alien creatures.
