While Chen Xin was struggling with why some among the top officials would choose to build a defensive line conservatively in the Himalayas, the military's attack went quite smoothly.
Through vibration monitoring of the underground situation in the entire Dongting Lake area, the military found that alien creatures were gathering towards the end of the tunnel, so this became the center of the battlefield and the most anxious place.
Relying on the good performance of laser weapons and the unobstructed terrain in the tunnel, Yanguo's army quickly blocked the crazy counterattack of the alien creatures and began to gradually push back.
But the alien creatures didn't care about the casualties at all. They continued to dig through the tunnel walls despite the shocking casualties, but their heads were burned through the laser weapons the moment they emerged.
A large number of corpses accumulated in the tunnel, and it even appeared that the corpses of alien creatures directly blocked the passages they dug around the tunnel.
In fact, because the top of the tunnel was not dug, and the alien creatures did not dig the tunnel from that direction, a large number of corpses were piled directly there, and there was even a tendency for them to gradually accumulate upwards after the pile was full.
One can imagine how many alien creatures died in this battle.
If it were on the ground, it would be difficult to see the literal mountain of corpses.
But in this tunnel, even though Chen Xin initially considered the problem of military attack and enlarged the diameter of the tunnel to twenty meters, the tunnel was still quickly filled due to the extremely high casualties of alien creatures.
Even because the accumulation of corpses has blocked the passage, alien creatures are constantly digging new passages along the tunnel.
Faced with this situation, the military was not polite. After a strong pushback, it threw the counterattack troops that had been waiting for a long time into the tunnel and began to launch a counterattack along the channels dug by the alien creatures.
However, despite successfully pushing back, the military still feels that its strategic intentions have been hindered.
Because their original plan was to dig through a large underground cave located about 1,500 meters underground, which was determined to be the nest of alien creatures after detection, and then destroy the breeding grounds of alien creatures and block them. Replenish their forces.
But now affected by the alien creatures' counterattack at all costs, it is obvious that the military can no longer continue digging. There are more than fifty meters of corpses piled up at the bottom of the tunnel, and the walls are also filled with passages dug by alien creatures.
Under such circumstances, it is obvious that the original strategy cannot be continued.
But the military is not willing to just give up the original plan. After all, in their opinion, this plan is much more effective than using ammunition consumption to compete with the opponent's reproduction speed.
But now it is obviously impossible to continue digging according to the original plan, and the military has no choice but to modify the current plan.
But facing the situation at hand, all the military staff could think of was continuing the attack with conventional tactics and relying on the advantages brought by the current laser weapons to open up the situation.
After all, even if someone plans to continue digging downward, there is currently no suitable digging tools. It is impossible to stuff the shield machine back into the tunnel and continue digging downward together with the corpses that have filled the nearly 100 meters of tunnel, right?
Not to mention the issue of these corpses, the alien creatures that excavate the tunnel walls from time to time and flood in are a very troublesome problem.
If it weren't for the fact that the troops in the counter-propulsion channels were quite effective and had already gained quite a bit of advantage, suppressing the opponent's offensive and improving the situation of tunnels being dug from time to time, I'm afraid even the military's offensive would be affected now.
However, attacking with conventional tactics has another problem, and that is the problem of time.
Even though the tunnel has reached 1,400 meters underground and there is only the last 100 meters left to the alien creature's lair, if it wants to attack the alien creature's lair according to the original plan, the last 100 meters will cost the military at least one It would take many months to push back through the passages around the tunnel.
This is even if the attack goes smoothly, but with the current crazy counterattack of the alien creatures and the secret tricks they may have hidden, it is almost certain that something unexpected will happen.
Under such circumstances, the military had to find another way.
——————————————
"What? You asked me if there is any way to make at least an object the size of a DF missile pass through the last hundred meters of soil to reach the alien creature's lair?" Chen Xin said when asked by an officer sent by the military. were very surprised: "What do you want to do? You don't want to drop a nuclear bomb, do you?"
Regarding Chen Xin's speculation, the officer sent by the military did not deny it, but just replied: "This is beyond the scope of what I can answer."
Hearing what the officer said, Chen Xin could only pinch the bridge of his nose and gave up on finding the answer from the other party.
After all, even if the military really wants to use nuclear bombs, it is not something ordinary officers can know, even if this officer is involved in it, which involves important preparations for the use of nuclear bombs.
However, judging from the questions asked by the other party, the military probably really has this idea.
Instead of spending a month slowly attacking, it would be better to just drop a nuclear bomb and solve the problem directly.
Based on the analysis of the current situation, continuing to attack with conventional tactics will undoubtedly consume a lot of resources, consume precious troops, and waste a lot of time.
If nuclear bombs are used, as long as the nuclear bombs can be successfully penetrated into the alien creature's nest, the power of strategic nuclear bombs will be enough to solve the problem and save these costs.
Chen Xin put down his work, stretched out a finger to tap rhythmically on the desk, and fell into thinking.
The officer didn't push him, and just stood in front of Chen Xin, waiting for his answer.
Chen Xin's thinking did not last long. After all, he was only thinking about the possible consequences of using nuclear bombs to bombard the alien nests, not how to drive a DF missile into the alien nests.
"It is not difficult to modify a DF missile so that it can penetrate a hundred meters of ground. I can do it according to the military's requirements." Chen Xin gave an affirmative answer, but also emphasized to the officer: "But The consequences and impact of a nuclear bomb attack need to be carefully considered. After all, the underground of the entire Dongting Lake area is full of caves and tunnels dug by alien creatures. Whether these caves and tunnels have damaged the geological structure of the area, whether the nuclear bomb explosion will Will cause geological movement...
These are things that need to be carefully considered. If large-scale geological activities are triggered, the consequences will be unimaginable. I hope you understand this. "
