Chapter 376 Bombing Plan
The camp outside the Greater Khingan Range is not a random camp, but a semi-permanent fortification.
Moreover, this camp is still under continuous expansion. According to the plan, it will be upgraded to a military fortress within a year.
Because of this, the camp's defense facilities are very complete, especially the wall facing the Greater Khingan Range, which is built first, and the fortifications have reached the standard of a military fortress.
In theory, with such a good defense arrangement, it should be easy for the military to resist the attack of the mutant animal army.
But the situation at this time is not the case. Ye Feng, who is sitting on the transport helicopter, can clearly see that several fire points in this section of the wall of more than ten kilometers have been destroyed.
There is only one possibility for this situation, that is, the previous mutant animal army has successfully jumped onto the wall and achieved certain results, but was defeated.
But this also sends a signal that the battle situation is very dangerous.
After all, starting from the arrival of the mutant animal army at the wall, the war should not last more than half an hour.
In just such a short time, the defense line has become unstable. No matter how you look at it, it is quite bad.
Of course, the current situation must be better than before, because as batches of contestants are rescued, they will immediately join the battle here.
And these contestants who can participate in the finals are all elites among humans. It may be a bit difficult for them to resist the mutant animal army in the wild.
But if they are just asked to bomb the mutant animals that climbed up the city wall again, it will be much easier.
But even with the addition of these contestants, it can only be said that the defense line has been stabilized, and the overall situation is still not optimistic.
And Ye Feng also found that the number of mutant creatures attacking here is not too many now. The number of mutant animals has not exceeded 50,000, and the number of mutant insects is only 3 million.
After the army behind arrives, the battle here is expected to be more tragic.
While Ye Feng was thinking about these things, the armed helicopter took Ye Feng and the last batch of rescued people to the helipad of the base camp.
It was quite lively here at this time, because in addition to the rescued people, reinforcements from other cities were also constantly being airlifted in by transport planes.
Ye Feng got off the plane and originally wanted to go to the defensive wall where the Yangcheng team was located.
However, a communication request came from the communication headset at this time. He pressed the connect button, and a voice came from it immediately: "Contestant Ye Feng, please come to the staff department. The general wants to see you."
Ye Feng did not hesitate after receiving the order and rushed over immediately.
When Ye Feng arrived at the staff department, it was completely busy here, and every order was issued from here.
At this time, if the reinforcements were also counted, the total number of people in the camp had exceeded 300,000.
In addition, there were a steady stream of reinforcements rushing here, and the final number was likely to exceed 500,000.
It would only be busier here at that time.
Of course, these had little to do with Ye Feng. After he came here, he was quickly led by a staff officer on standby and walked towards the command desk.
The command desk is located in the middle of the front of the staff department. It is a raised platform with countless LCD screens on it, which can observe the occupation of any place at any time. In addition, there is a sand table map formed by holographic images.
At this time, Lieutenant General Zhao Guofeng was discussing fiercely with several other generals. Ye Feng simply listened to two sentences and knew that the topic they were arguing about seemed to be when to carry out fire coverage.
Originally, Ye Feng wanted to listen quietly on the side and did not want to disturb the discussion of several people, but these people stopped when they saw him.
"Major General Ye Feng, it's nice to meet you." Zhao Guofeng spoke first and saluted.
The other generals also saluted in unison, looking at Ye Feng with unconcealed admiration.
If it weren't for Ye Feng, the casualties of these contestants would increase by at least 3 to 5 times. If this really happened, the loss would be too huge. After all, every contestant will be the backbone of mankind after growing up.
Seeing the actions of several people, Ye Feng hurriedly returned the greeting.
His expression was also slightly dazed. If the other party hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten that he still had the identity of a major general.
Of course, although he is a general, it is more of an honor and has no real power for the time being.
And even if he is really put in that position, he doesn't know how to command a war!
Thinking of this, he wanted to remind them not to have any expectations of him, a layman.
Sure enough, what Ye Feng feared came true. Zhao Guofeng said frankly: "General Ye invited you here this time because he was undecided about something and wanted to discuss it with you."
"Uh, you may have really found the wrong person. I don't know anything about military affairs." Ye Feng didn't pretend to be fat, because a wrong order could lead to the sacrifice of many lives.
"We understand. However, you have fought with these mutant animals and know their combat power better. I want you to intuitively judge whether the plans we have formulated can pose a sufficient threat to those mutant animals." Zhao Guofeng said.
Hearing this, Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief. If this was the only judgment, then there would be no problem. No one knew the combat power of those mutant animals better than him.
"Then I will let Chief of Staff Chen Youli explain the current situation to you, and then you can judge whether our combat plan is feasible." Zhao Guofeng briefly explained and continued to discuss the bombing with several generals.
Chief of Staff Chen Youli, who was standing aside, made a gesture of invitation to Ye Feng, and then the two came to the spare sand table on the side.
Chen Youli turned on the projector of the sand table and began to explain, "Half an hour ago, the mutant army began to attack, and a total of three attacks were launched during this period."
"But now it has been 10 minutes since the last attack, which is longer than any other time. We suspect that they are gathering a large force."
Hearing this, Ye Feng couldn't help but interrupt: "Wait, you said that the mutant army launched a total of three attacks, so what is the situation now?"
Even though they were in the staff department, there were soundproof devices here, but the dense artillery sound coming from the wall was still clear.
"Our definition of attack is that the enemy dispatched a large number of sixth-order mutant animals."
"This situation should be defined as harassment. Basically, they are all sixth-order mutant insects. Our second-generation destroyer hand cannon can completely kill them, and the threat they can produce is limited."
"In addition, when not attacking, the formation of these mutant creatures is very sparse, which should be to prevent us from bombing with artillery shells." Chen Youli explained.
Ye Feng nodded silently after hearing this. He also intuitively realized how troublesome it would be when these mutant creatures knew how to use tactics.
Seeing Ye Feng nod, Chen Youli continued, "The problem we are facing now is that we don't have enough ammunition."
"Not enough ammunition?" Ye Feng was stunned again. Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case.
After all, this place is going to be upgraded to a military fortress. Although it hasn't been upgraded yet, it refers to the fortifications, and the ammunition should be ready.
Chen Youli smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, because we never thought that we would face such a situation! According to our original prediction, even if there were a large number of mutant animals here, the number should not exceed 5 million."
"And we calculated it according to the normal ratio, that is to say, the mutant animals of level 3 and 4 are the main ones, and the level 5 and 6 are only a few high-end forces."
"But now according to the latest statistics, the number of mutant animals is about 500,000, and the number of mutant insects is as high as 10 million. This number has far exceeded our expectations."
"In addition, their realm is too high, and the weakest ones are all level 5."
"This directly leads to some of our conventional artillery shells not being able to play a big role, such as howitzers, mortars, incendiary bombs, etc., and the bombing has limited effect."
"Now, the only thing that can carry out large-scale killings is thermobaric bombs, but the number is limited. Even if we urgently transfer them from other cities, the number does not exceed 300, which is not enough."
Hearing the other party say this Ye Feng couldn't help but be slightly startled and said: "This shouldn't be the case, right?"
"If I remember correctly, even conventional thermobaric bombs now have an effective killing diameter of 5 kilometers!"
"Even if these fifth and sixth-order mutant animals have strong vitality, they will definitely die as long as they are within 3 kilometers of the explosion center."
"If you take advantage of their siege and dense formations, detonate a thermobaric bomb. I dare not say how many, but it should not be difficult to kill 1,000 mutant animals!"
"300 thermobaric bombs can kill almost 300,000 mutant animals. Isn't this enough to severely damage them?"
Hearing Ye Feng's words, Chen Youli didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "What you said is completely the best theoretical data!"
"But the problem is, how can the other party cooperate with us so well."
"Let alone, just want to penetrate their interception network and accurately send the thermobaric bomb in, our staff has come up with no less than 10 plans, but none of them is considered appropriate."
"Their interception network?" Ye Feng couldn't help but frown.
"Yes, we have used missiles to bomb them before. Those mutant insects will fly up directly and use their bodies to resist missiles to ensure the safety of mutant animals."
"The flying speed of the sixth-level mutant insects has exceeded the speed of sound. As long as we take 100 mutant insects to form a defense network, our missiles will never be able to penetrate them." Chen Youli said.
Ye Feng frowned slightly, and quickly thought of a possibility and said, "Can we put decoy bombs to lure away these intercepting mutant insects?"
"Yes." Chen Youli gave an affirmative answer and said, "In fact, this is also one of the solutions we proposed, but there are problems. You know, most insects can fly, so they can form many interception networks."
"We calculated through big data that even in the most ideal situation, we can only deliver 30% of the thermobaric bombs to the designated target at most. If it is not ideal, I am afraid that there will be less than 10%."
"And this deception tactic will not work the second time, so when to use it is also a problem we need to consider now."
Hearing this, Ye Feng couldn't help but look at Zhao Guofeng and others who were arguing on the side.
"So that's why you called me here?" Ye Feng said.
"Yeah!" Chen Youli nodded, "In fact, the best time to launch is when both sides have a few more rounds of consumption, and when the battle is the most intense, we will launch it all at once. This will have the best effect, but in this case our casualties will increase."
"Now we have to consider whether we can launch the thermobaric bomb as soon as possible?"
"And when selecting targets, which mutant animals should be attacked to have a greater impact on the battle? I want to hear your opinions on these aspects."
Ye Feng was silent, his brain was running fast.
Of course, he was not considering these questions raised by the other party, but thinking about the possibility of the idea in his mind.
Suddenly, he asked: "Can these thermobaric bombs of yours be directly detonated by remote control?"
Chen Youli: ? ? ?
"Do you have any new ideas?" Chen Youli asked with a frown.
Although he asked this, he still didn't agree with it. Because he didn't believe that Ye Feng's wisdom could match their entire staff.
"I do have some ideas. I have the ability to teleport. I can directly teleport the warhead to the designated location, and you can just detonate it remotely." Ye Feng said.
Chen Youli, who was a little indifferent at first, suddenly widened his eyes.
His breathing gradually became heavy, and the next moment he turned his head and shouted: "General Zhao, you don't have to argue. General Ye has a perfect solution here."
Then, he quickly repeated what Ye Feng had just said.
The expressions on the faces of several people, without exception, became ecstatic.
"Haha, great, with such a method, our thermobaric bombs will be invincible in the future!" Immediately, a general applauded.
"Our ideas are limited. Now it's different from before. When considering the battle situation in the future, we should also take the abilities of the superpowers into consideration." Zhao Guofeng couldn't help but say with emotion.
Ye Feng gave a perfect solution, so the next step will be easy. They just need to supplement and improve it.
As for long-distance detonation, it was a piece of cake for them. They only needed to dismantle the warhead and then refit the detonator.
Ye Feng didn't need to worry about these things. Zhao Guofeng and the others just learned in detail about Ye Feng's space-shifting ability and the limit that it could reach, and then began to make new plans.
Ye Feng felt bored staying in the staff department, so he just sat for a while and went to the city wall to help.
