Chapter 678: A precarious line of defense

At this time, in the Honghu area of Hubei Province, the worker ants of the

alien creatures were constantly digging the ice layer, and they were pouring

out like tide water from the bottom of the lake.

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 entire Blue Star sea level rises, Honghu Lake has also been

connected to the Yangtze River and Dongting Lake, forming a whole.

After the temperature dropped, it was naturally frozen into an ice sheet like

Dongting Lake, and even connected with Dongting Lake.

After the invasion of alien creatures, although the military has also set up a

line of defense here, because it is adjacent to the city where Chen Xin is

located, the troops there are well-equipped, and it is effective to contain

the attack of alien creatures, leading to the attack of alien creatures. Most

of the focus is on there.

In the Honghu area, the relative offensive was not so fierce. Although there

were still overwhelming alien creatures here, it was relatively easy to deal

with compared to other lines of defense.

After all, alien creatures still mainly gush out from around Junshan Island.

The city where Chen Xin is the first to contact and attack, and the

surrounding area needs to allow alien creatures to run for a while before they

can reach it.

But now, the alien creatures apparently dug through the channel from Junshan

Island area to Honghu area, and they are constantly pouring out from the

bottom of Honghu Lake.

Humans have already seen the digging ability of alien creatures. This is how

the alien creatures in the entire West Dongting Lake area emerged from the

ground.

It's just that the Honghu area was mainly alien creatures coming out of

Junshan Island before, and there were no alien creatures emerging from the

ground in Honghu area, which caused everyone to subconsciously ignore this

possibility.

Although it is not without precautions, in the continuous attacks of alien

creatures, everyone's energy is devoted to resisting the existing attacks, so

there is no extra energy to guard against possible dangers.

In fact, even with precautions, this does not help.

The number of extraterrestrial creatures is amazing. Even though the Honghu

area has been able to deal with it easily before, this is only relative to

other areas.

Although it's not exhausting to deal with it, it can't squeeze out extra

strength.

Therefore, when the alien creatures gush out from under the Honghu Lake, the

entire defense line in the Honghu Lake area becomes precarious and even

faltering.

All the troops on the defensive line have been pushed up, and the rest of the

troops after the rotation have also been reorganized and returned to the

defensive line.

However, even so, it is still difficult for them to withstand the attack of

alien creatures at this time.

The commander stationed in this line of defense naturally asked for help at

the first time, but it will take time for the reinforcements to arrive.

And because the alien creatures emerged directly from the bottom of Honghu

Lake, even the air force's bombing could only cut off the original offensive

coming from the direction of Dongting Lake along the Yangtze River, and could

not effectively contain the attack directly launched from the bottom of Honghu

Lake.

At this time, it can only rely on the soldiers on the front line to resist

with flesh and blood.

Although the artillery in the rear quickly began to roar, just like the trench

warfare of World War I and World War II, if it is a crowded tactic at all

costs, it is difficult to say that it can completely suppress the opponent's

attack even if there is enough artillery fire.

After all, in modern warfare, such tactics have long been eliminated, and the

armies of various countries will not adopt this style of fighting for victory

with human lives.

But for alien creatures, the sub-body is just cannon fodder anyway, the sub-

body spawned will be consumed even if left alone, so it is better to throw it

into the battlefield as cannon fodder.

This led to the fact that although a cannonball exploded among the alien

creatures on the battlefield, a large area of clearing could be cleared, but

in the next instant, the cleared area of the explosion would be swarmed by

the subsequent alien creatures. Filled up, as if the shelling just now was

just an illusion.

Although the artillery in the rear continued to bombard with the momentum of

destroying the barrels, it did reduce the pressure on the front line greatly,

but as more and more new passages under Honghu appeared, the attack on the

defense line Also more and more.

If there is no support, the rout and fall of the entire line of defense will

only be a matter of time.

Fortunately, as soon as the request for assistance was received, the military

was organizing reinforcements. The soldiers on the defensive line had

forgotten their lives. After the precious time gained by resisting the attack

of alien creatures, the first batch of reinforcements finally Arrived.

Watching several large helicopters lowered their height in front of the

position, and then dropped the Titans on board, this kind of reinforcement

method really made many people stunned.

Although the reinforcement method is exaggerated, the effect is immediate.

As these fifty Titans entered the battlefield, they quickly cooperated with

the offensive launched by the helicopters, clearing out a number of alien

creatures in front of the position, allowing the soldiers on this line of

defense to breathe. 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 like a tide, the arrival of reinforcements

still gave the fighters fighting on the defense line extremely Great morale

boosted.

Moreover, this is only the first batch of reinforcements. Although subsequent

reinforcements did not arrive at the battlefield as quickly as they did, they

are still coming one after another. This gives the soldiers and commanders on

the front line a little more confidence in holding on to the defense.

It's just that these commanders also know that although the arrival of

reinforcements can control the current situation, if the problem of the

continuous outflow of alien creatures under Honghu Lake cannot be solved, the

situation will not be changed.

After all, what the Honghu Defense Line needs to face are attacks from two

sides on the surface of the East Dongting Lake and the bottom of the Honghu

Lake. The bombing of the Air Force can block the attack on the East Dongting

Lake for a while, but it cannot stop it for a lifetime.

Moreover, in the underground of Honghu Lake, more and more alien creatures dug

through the ice layer and got out, as if the alien creatures had already

opened the underground passage leading to here.

More and more alien creatures are gradually offsetting the advantages brought

about by the arrival of reinforcements, so that the battle situation is still

sliding towards an unfavorable situation.

"Damn it, if only it can block the passage at the bottom of the lake!" In the

command post of the Honghu Line, an officer hammered the table severely, and

the map in front of him had already marked a large area. The red arrow, at a

glance, it seemed that the large red line of defense was so precarious.

Each red arrow represents an attack launched by an alien creature, and each

arrow represents a channel that was discovered.

It doesn't require much professional knowledge, and it can be seen from the

map that if you can't find a way to destroy these passages, the offensive of

alien creatures will not stop.

But wanting 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 it up, except for the passage

that was blown up on Junshan Island when Chen Xin first encountered it. The

passage was destroyed with a lot of sacrifices.

There is no good way for human beings to destroy the underground passages of

alien creatures.
