One Hundred and Five Reached a Consensus
Ye Han had just seen the ant pit not long ago, and only a little time had passed. He subconsciously thought that the situation in the ant pit was no different from what he saw.
But when he put his eyes into the ant pit, he realized that he was very wrong!
When he saw the ant pit for the first time, he could still see the locomotive and the No. 1 carriage at the bottom of the pit. Although there were many ants at the bottom of the pit, there was still a large piece of loose soil between the giant ants.
But the ant pit right now is densely covered with giant ants, and the black giant ants are layered on top of each other. Unless you have a pair of X-ray eyes, it is impossible to see the soil at the bottom of the pit through layers of giant ants.
The No. 2 car was stuck on the edge of the pit, and the lower half of the car was covered with giant ants, and the giant ants even piled up huge ant cones around the No. 2 car.
The front of the car and the No. 1 carriage at the bottom of the pit were already submerged by the ant swarm, and there was no sign of it at all.
The major looked straight at Ye Han: "Where's the car?"
Ye Han said in a deep voice: "Under the ants!" After speaking, he pointed to the ant colony that completely covered the bottom of the pit.
There are too many giant ants in the pit, like a layer of giant carpet on the bottom of the pit, made up of living ants, a living carpet.
The major continued to observe suspiciously. After looking carefully for a few seconds, he discovered that there was an inconspicuous strip-shaped protrusion near the No. 2 compartment of the ant blanket.
The major's eyeballs almost fell out: "You said it was a carriage?"
Ye Han nodded.
The major asked again: "Do you know the depth of this pit?"
"A car is about 25 meters away." Ye Han said.
The major took a look at the No. 2 carriage, which was almost perpendicular to the bottom of the pit. The giant ants probably climbed to half of the carriage, and the lower third was completely covered by the layer of ants. That is to say, the thickness of the giant ants in the pit was about About eight meters!
The major who calculated this number startled himself. What is the concept of stacking ants up to eight meters high?
The major couldn't imagine how many giant ants there were in the pit. Looking at Ye Han and then at the pale-faced soldiers, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Facing such a large number of ants, even he, the battalion commander, found it very difficult. How could a young soldier who had never been on the battlefield not change his face?
The major's thoughts turned, seeing that the giant ants in the pit could not come up for a while, he ordered decisively: "Everyone stay put and defend, if the situation is critical, retreat immediately."
After speaking, the major turned his head to look at the rear of the car, then turned his head to look into Ye Han's eyes, and said seriously: "Officer Ye, ants won't attack unless they can't smell people, right?"
"That's right, but as long as one ant finds us, it will attract a group of ants." Ye Han replied cautiously.
The major said solemnly: "You have seen the situation, I can't let the soldiers into a mortal battle, no matter who is in the No. 1 car, my soldiers and I can't rescue them, you understand me mean?"
Ye Han nodded: "There are no survivors in the No. 1 car."
The major's expression relaxed, and he saluted suddenly. After the salute, he said solemnly: "Thank you, on behalf of the officers and men of the whole company, thank you. I'm sorry for what happened before."
"No need." Ye Han said lightly, "I am also for the soldiers."
The major thought for a while and stretched out his hand: "Let's get to know Long Jianguo again."
"Ye Han." Ye Han held Long Jianguo's hand.
Long Jianguo said: "It seems that you and I have reached an agreement, so the question now..."
"The problem now is how to open up the life channel instead of wasting time in this big pit." Ye Han interrupted Long Jianguo.
"Yes, that's my opinion too." Long Jianguo showed some appreciation in his eyes, "How many people are there in the car?"
Ye Han thought for a while and said, "Five carriages are not too full, maybe around 500 people."
Long Jianguo looked solemn: "The situation in the ant-occupied area far exceeds the expectations of the headquarters. I have too few troops to guarantee the safety of so many people!"
Ye Han hesitated for a moment and asked, "Can I ask about the situation in the ant-occupied area?"
"Can.
Long Jianguo nodded in agreement, "Map!" "
The communications soldier immediately took out the map from his bag and handed it over.
Long Jianguo opened the map, found the location of the train and said, "Our location is here." His fingers crossed several squares on the map, "According to the report from the superior, the western border of the ant-occupied area is here."
Ye Han looked at the crooked railway sign on the map and frowned: "North arrow, is there a north arrow?"
The communications soldier took a look at Long Jianguo, saw Long Jianguo nod, and then took off the compass from his waist and handed it to Ye Han.
Ye Han took the compass, skillfully lifted the protective cover of the mileage wheel on the corner, the mileage wheel landed on the map accurately, and stroked lightly along the railway on the map.
The mileage wheel rotated rapidly, and quickly and accurately stopped at the western border of the ant-occupied area.
Glancing at the pointer on the odometer, Ye Han drew a straight line on the map, and then returned the compass to the communications soldier: "Go along the railway, the distance on the map is 9.7 kilometers, take a straight line, and the distance on the map is 9.7 kilometers. The distance is 6.7 kilometers." Speaking of which, Ye Han raised his head and stared at Long Jianguo with piercing eyes.
Long Jianguo continued: "We need a plan to pass through the ant-occupied area smoothly. It is a short distance to pass through the ant-occupied area in a straight line, but there are ant hills everywhere on the road, so there is no room for implementation. The only way is to walk along the railway, ten kilometers , are your people okay?"
Ye Han shook his head: "The seriously wounded have been transported away, but there are still many lightly wounded. Besides, those carriages are full of government staff, and there are many women. With their physical strength, can they successfully complete the ten-year journey?" Kilometers are hard to say."
Speaking of this, Ye Han raised his eyes and looked west: "And there are many anthills near the railway. The anthills on both sides of the railway must be cleared in advance."
"This is not a problem, I can apply for artillery support and air strikes." Long Jianguo said.
"There is also the smell. Wherever we walk, we must block the spread of the smell. Otherwise, as long as an ant crosses the railway, it will attract a group of ants to chase after them!"
"Aren't the tear gas bombs effective? I will apply for another batch of tear gas bombs." Long Jianguo said.
Ye Han suddenly stared at Long Jianguo: "Apply for this, apply for that, why don't you just apply for a batch of helicopters?"
Long Jianguo pointed to the map and said, "There are too many places where helicopters can be used. At most, two planes can be dispatched. The flight from here to Fuyun is more than 100 kilometers away. How can we expect two helicopters to transport more than 500 people? Fly until it gets dark tomorrow." No hope."
Ye Han rubbed his temples fiercely: "Who said you're going to fly directly to Fuyun? Can't you just fly the six kilometers? How did you do it?"
Long Jianguo's expression froze immediately, and he stayed for a few seconds before waking up like a dream: "Yes, why didn't I think of it?"
The train sent by Fuyun could only stop at the other side of the ant-occupied area, and the more than 500 people here only had to cross the ant-occupied area instead of flying directly to Fuyun.
