Chapter 172 Siege of the Great Mountain Range

Three hours later, the asphalt road that stretched for more than one kilometer on the winding mountain road disappeared, replaced by deep pits of more than ten meters, so the cement was replaced by powder under formic acid, destroying this section of the road completely.

Boom!

The hundreds of meters long tunnel was also dug by termites, and the foundation was hollowed out. In a series of cracks, it collapsed and was buried by boulders and soil. The whole mountain was shaking, and the smoke and dust spread far away.

This road has been completely destroyed. Not to mention the heavy tanks and armored vehicles, even the soldiers have to spend a lot of effort to walk, especially the tunnels have been dug. If the soldiers want to leave, they must cross this steep mountain, which is a great test for them.

After the end of the world, plants grow wildly, turning the mountains into a kingdom of plants and animals. It is many times more difficult to walk than before. Even if the soldiers are well-trained, they can't expect to be successful under such circumstances.

"Let's go!" Seeing the tunnel collapse, Jiang Zhengqing said to his daughter. This section of the road has been completely destroyed. He will not wait here foolishly. If things go as he thought, the enemies Wang Jin is dealing with may see the road destruction and fight him to death. He will suffer an unexpected disaster.

"Yes!" Jiang Shishi nodded. Under her command, millions of termites left in a mighty manner, leaving behind a completely destroyed road.

Seeing that the underground base completed the road destruction task, Wang Jin was delighted. Now the Lingnan base is only 20 kilometers away from that section of the road. If the underground base does not complete it and is seen by the Lingnan base, everything will be ruined.

Although millions of termites are powerful, they are still no match for the Lingnan base. Facing the heavy firepower of the Lingnan base, especially the carpet bombing of artillery shells, they will definitely be killed in one blast. It is good enough if they are not bombed. How can they be stopped?

"Just hurry up."

After destroying the road, Wang Jin stopped harassing the flying dragons and flew into the blue sky with the flying dragons, allowing the troops of Lingnan Base to finally breathe a sigh of relief. They hurriedly sped up and tried to leave the mountains and return to the Lingnan Plain before the flying dragons continued to attack. In this way, they would be much safer and would not have to worry about being shot by the flying dragons at any time and being parasitized by the queen.

"Something weird!" Seeing the flying dragons retreat, Chen Jie frowned. After years of war, he smelled a hint of conspiracy.

"Deputy Commander, this should be okay. We also shot down 8 of those bat mutants and 2 parasitic mutants. Maybe Wang Jin couldn't bear such casualties and had to retreat."

The man in the peaked cap, Xu Chengjun, expressed his opinion that this was normal. After all, Wang Jin had been harassing and there were casualties. It was reasonable to retreat now.

"No! Wang Jin's harassment was obviously very successful. We have lost nearly a thousand soldiers and more than fifty mutants during this period. Eighty armored vehicles were damaged and thirty helicopters crashed. The loss ratio between the enemy and us is so exaggerated. There is no reason for Wang Jin to retreat. There must be something fishy." Chen Jie looked at the flying dragon that escaped into the clouds and expressed his suspicion. Chen Jie attached great importance to Wang Jin, the opponent, and guessed that Wang Jin must have hidden reasons for doing so.

"It seems so!" Xu Chengjun broke out in a sweat when he heard Chen Jie's analysis. He was not afraid of the enemy's fear, but the enemy's treacherousness. The powerful strength coupled with the cunning and strange tactics would definitely be a headache for any enemy.

"What should we do now? Will there be a trap set by Wang Jin in front of us!"

Wipe the sweat off his forehead, Xu Chengjun was a little panicked. Looking at the surrounding environment, he felt that Wang Jin's mutant beasts were hiding everywhere, just waiting for them to break into the trap, and then showing their fangs and swallowing them in one bite.

"Let's take it one step at a time. We can't stay in the mountains forever. This will be even more disadvantageous to us."

Chen Jie did not stop because of his worries. He decided to continue moving forward. This was the best plan if he didn't find the road was destroyed.

Now the morale of the entire Lingnan base troops has plummeted under the harassment of Wang Jin's Feilong Queen. Many people have no intention of fighting and just want to return to Lingnan base as soon as possible. In this situation, fighting is very unfavorable.

The troops continued to move forward. Because there was no harassment from Wang Jin, the speed of this mechanized unit was fully exerted. All the soldiers sat on the troop carriers and moved on wheels. The speed was naturally fast. They arrived at the Panshan Highway in less than an hour.

"This is it!" Xu Chengjun led the mutants to explore the way ahead. He was the first to see this amazing scene. He opened his mouth wide and said that he couldn't believe it. The road was fine before he came, but now it has become like this.

This section of the winding mountain road was built on a steep mountain range. It has now been completely destroyed by termites, leaving behind dozens of meters deep pits. The tunnel that was originally passable has also been buried, completely blocking the way back.

At this time, the army behind also arrived quickly. When the soldiers saw the serious damage to the road, their morale, which had already plummeted, fell to the bottom.

The way back was blocked, and they were trapped in the wilderness where mutant beasts roamed everywhere. There was also an enemy flying in the air, eyeing them covetously. Every soldier was anxious and impatient about the future, and an uneasy atmosphere permeated the army.

This is one of the weaknesses of human beings. War is emotional. If the morale is good, it is fine. Once the morale drops sharply, the combat power will immediately decrease or even collapse without fighting. The Zerg will not have this situation. The combat power is stable, and it will not be proud or discouraged. Even in dangerous situations, the Zerg will continue to execute orders and fight even if it knows that it will die. It is the best army.

"Damn it! It turns out that the previous harassment was just to delay time. I shouldn't be restrained. Even if there are some casualties, I must leave before the road is destroyed."

Chen Jie's forehead was exposed with veins. Looking at the white clouds in the blue sky, he seemed to see Wang Jin sitting in a group of flying dragons, showing a mocking smile.

"Deputy Commander, what should we do now? Can we get out of this mountain? We can't be trapped here forever."

Xu Chengjun was a little excited. Faced with this situation where he couldn't advance or retreat, he, a second-level mutant, couldn't keep his composure.

"No, if my soldiers can cross the mountains, they can do it, but what about these armored vehicles, tanks, and artillery? And our various heavy weapons, we can't take these heavy equipment over the mountains. Even if our soldiers cross the mountains, if they don't have these heavy weapons, what can our soldiers use to deal with Wang Jin's flying mutant beasts? That will only lead to slow death. Don't use this method unless it is absolutely necessary."

Chen Jie rejected Xu Chengjun's suggestion without hesitation. If there are no heavy weapons, can we rely on rifles to deal with Wang Jin's flying dragons? Don't be funny. This is not a fight against the Japanese invaders. It can be defeated by millet and rifles. If Chen Jie really does this, Wang Jin will wake up laughing in his dreams.

"Let's set up camp first. Since this section of the road is destroyed, we will bypass it and find a relatively flat area to pass through. Then we will go around and get back to the highway!"

Chen Jie looked at the sky and continued, "Let's send a helicopter back to inform the base and inform the army commander of our situation. The army commander will definitely send troops to support us. If we can't find a road by then, we can still hold on and wait for help. Anyway, we have sufficient food and ammunition, so we don't have to worry about consumption."

"That's the only way!" Xu Chengjun had no choice but to nod. This was the best way.
