Chapter five hundred and seventy fifth precarious line of defense
At this time, the worker ant bodies of alien creatures were constantly digging out ice layers and pouring out like tides 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 rose, Honghu Lake has also been connected with the Yangtze River and Dongting Lake, forming a whole.
After the temperature dropped, it was naturally frozen into an ice field like Dongting Lake, and even connected with Dongting Lake.
After the invasion of alien creatures, although the military also set up defense lines here, because it is adjacent to the city where Chen Xin is located, the troops there are well-equipped and effectively curbing the attacks of alien creatures, resulting in the focus of alien creatures' attacks there.
For example, the offensive in Honghu area is not as fierce as that. Although there are still overwhelming alien creatures here, it is relatively easy to deal with it compared to other defense lines.
After all, alien creatures are still mainly gushing out from around Junshan Island. The first one to come into contact with and attack is the city where Chen Xin is located, and the surrounding areas need to be allowed to run for a while before they can reach it.
But now, alien creatures have obviously dug up the passage from Junshan Island to Honghu area and are constantly gushing out from the bottom of Honghu lake.
Humans have long seen the ability of alien creatures to dig out, and this is how alien creatures in the entire Xidongting Lake area emerge from the underground.
However, before, the Honghu area was mainly alien creatures that came from near Junshan Island, and no alien creatures emerged from the underground in the Honghu area, which led to everyone subconsciously neglecting this possibility.
Although they are not unprepared, in the continuous attack of alien creatures, everyone is focused on resisting the existing attack, so they have no extra energy to guard against possible dangers.
In fact, even if you are prepared, this will not work.
The number of alien creatures is amazing. Even though the Honghu area has been dealing with it easily before, this is only relative to other regions.
Although I can't talk about being tired of dealing with it, I can't draw out any extra strength.
So when alien creatures pour out from under Honghu Lake, the entire defense line in Honghu area became in danger and even became shaky.
All the troops on the defense line have already been pushed up, and the troops that have been rotated to rest have been reorganized and returned to the defense line.
However, even so, it was 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 as soon as possible, but the arrival of reinforcements took time.
Moreover, because alien creatures emerge directly from the bottom of Honghu Lake, even the Air Force bombing can only cut off the original offensive coming from the direction of Dongting Lake along the Yangtze River, and cannot effectively curb the attack directly from the bottom of Honghu Lake.
At this time, the soldiers on the front line can only use their flesh and blood to resist.
Although the artillery in the rear quickly began to roar, just like the trench warfare in World War I and World War II, if it was a human-sea tactic that costly, even with enough artillery fire, it would be hard to say that it completely suppresses the opponent's attack.
After all, in modern warfare, such tactics have long been eliminated, and the armies of various countries will not adopt this kind of strategy of using human lives to fill in victory.
But for alien creatures, the sub-body is just cannon fodder, and even if the sub-body produced is kept, it will be consumed by itself. It would be better to put it into the battlefield as cannon fodder.
This led to the fact that although a shell exploded among alien creatures on the battlefield, a large open space could be cleared out, at the next moment, the open space cleared out by the explosion would be filled with the alien creatures that surged up later, as if the shelling just now was just an illusion.
Although the artillery in the rear continued to bombard the artillery barrel with the momentum of destroying the artillery barrel, it did reduce the pressure on the front line, as more and more new channels under the Honghu Lake appeared, more and more attacks were suffered on the defense line.
Without support, it will only be a matter of time before the defeat and fall of the entire defense line.
Fortunately, the military organized reinforcements as soon as they received the request for help. With the precious time obtained by the soldiers on the defense line, the first batch of reinforcements finally arrived.
Seeing several large helicopters lowering the altitude in front of the position and then dropping the Titans on their carriers, this method of reinforcement really made many people stunned.
However, although the reinforcement method is exaggerated, the effect is immediate.
As these fifty Titans were put into the battlefield, they quickly cooperated with a wave of offensives launched by the helicopters, clearing out a group of alien creatures in front of the position, allowing the soldiers on this section of defense to take a breath.
Although the investment of fifty Titans could not change the situation, and the advantages they created were soon offset by alien creatures that continued to flow like a tide, the arrival of reinforcements still inspired the warriors fighting on the defense line with great morale.
Moreover, this was only the first batch of reinforcements. Although the subsequent reinforcements did not arrive at the battlefield as quickly as they did, they were also coming one after another, which gave the soldiers and commanders on the front line a little more confidence to stick to the defense line.
However, these commanders also knew that although the arrival of reinforcements could control the current situation, if the problem of the continuous emergence of alien creatures under Honghu could not be solved, the situation would not be changed.
After all, what the Honghu defense line now needs to face is an attack from both the surface of Dongdongting Lake and the bottom of Honghu. The bombing of the Air Force can block the attack from Dongdongting Lake for a while, but it cannot stop it for a lifetime.
Moreover, more and more alien creatures dug through the ice layer and drilled out from the underground waters of Honghu, just as alien creatures have opened up the underground passage to this place.
More and more alien creatures are gradually offsetting the advantages brought by reinforcements, allowing the battle situation to fall towards an unfavorable situation.
"Damn it, it would be great if I could block the passage at the bottom of the lake!" In the command post of the Honghu defense line, an officer hammered the table hard. A large red arrow was marked on the map in front of him. At first glance, the large red color seemed to be so precarious.
Each red arrow represents an attack initiated by alien creatures, and each arrow represents a channel to be discovered.
It does not require much professional knowledge, and it can be seen from the map that if you cannot find a way to destroy these channels, the offensive of alien creatures will not stop.
But it is a fantasy to want to blow up the passage.
So far, humans have discovered many underground passages of alien creatures, but the ones that can really blow it up are except for the passage that Chen Xin blew on Junshan Island when he first encountered it, only a few passages were destroyed after making a lot of sacrifices.
Nowadays, humans do not have any good ways to destroy the underground passages of alien creatures.
