CHAPTER 347: CHAPTER 158: THE SECOND WAVE OF BEAST TIDE AT BASE 011 (PART 2)

Toxic gas?

Shen Yue frowned deeply.

What he fears the least is actually "toxic gas" type monsters, after all, it’s not like the team he leads has to engage in close combat.

I’ll bombard you with 107 fire from 5 kilometers away, no matter how large the spread of your toxic gas, it can’t possibly blow against the wind to reach me, right?

But for some reason, looking at that gas, Shen Yue always felt that something was off.

----And before he could figure out where this ominous premonition came from, the next second.

"Boom!"

A violent explosion suddenly erupted from afar.

The blast wave surged upwards, the flames almost burnt everything around the monster to ashes.

Under the high temperature, all the vegetation around was ignited, and the few monsters surrounding this monster screamed and scattered in all directions.

Shen Yue was dumbfounded.

Oh crap...

What kind of Catachan frog?

Playing the self-destruct trick on me, huh?

But the effect of your self-destruction seems somewhat ridiculous...

The drone that had already ascended in altitude was momentarily destabilized by the blast wave, but quickly regained its flight posture under the support of a powerful flight control system.

Shen Yue ordered the drone to retreat to a safe distance, and then immediately issued a command to the squad to prepare for enemy engagement.

This wave of Beast Tide was not large in scale, and after roughly understanding the attack patterns of all the monsters, they no longer posed a significant threat.

"Deploy according to the predetermined operational formation, advance to encircle the target’s location."

"Prioritize neutralizing high-value targets, use heavy firepower to suppress and clear scattered targets!"

"Understood!"

"Received!"

The order was issued, and everyone immediately sprang into action.

The three squads quickly boarded vehicles and advanced rapidly toward the target location along the route planned by War Skull.

In just 10 minutes, the third squad responsible for remote fire support had already occupied the high ground, and at this time, the monsters in the small-scale Beast Tide were still 15 kilometers away, continuously advancing towards the "pocket formation" set up by the group.

After 5 minutes, the first squad, led by Huang Meng, reached the high ground in front of the third squad.

Heavy machine guns and automatic grenade launchers were set up, and Huang Meng, holding a soldier’s sniper grenade, aimed at the open area directly ahead.

According to the plan, Huang Qiao from the second squad would advance to the closest position to the monsters, establish a firepower point on the other side, and then continuously adjust the direction of the Beast Tide’s advance through systematic guerrilla maneuvers, until these monsters were "lured" into the pocket formation.

They were executing the most dangerous task.

Of course, if the battle went smoothly, they would also be the squad with the most merit.

As time passed, Huang Meng’s right hand holding the sniper grenade’s grip began to slightly ache.

He gently exhaled, then said to the assistant gunner beside him holding the automatic grenade launcher:

"Just as the captain said, once the fight starts, don’t rush to fire."

"The automatic grenade launcher has a long range, but its spread is also large."

"Furthermore, the explosive power of the automatic grenade is relatively small, if it can’t hit accurately, the damage is still quite low."

"We don’t have the capability to produce shells, every shell must be used wisely, got it?"

"Got it!"

The assistant gunner nodded immediately, then asked:

"Squad leader, when do you think we’ll get a chance to join the infiltration team?"

"We’ve been out here for several battles, always shooting targets from afar, all the major credits go to the second squad..."

"Credit? First, get familiar with the weapon in your hands."

Huang Meng rolled his eyes and continued:

"When we followed the captain to the Imperial City, why didn’t anyone say ’we took all the credit’?"

"We’re all part of the Huaxia Army, just follow orders, don’t nitpick!"

Huang Meng’s tone was stern, and the assistant gunner sheepishly smiled, then said:

"I didn’t mean it like that... I was just thinking about sharing some pressure with our comrades..."

"I know what you’re thinking better than you do!"

Huang Meng turned back and glared at the assistant gunner and continued:

"Stop talking nonsense, they’re almost here!"

As he finished speaking, dense gunfire suddenly erupted from afar.

Through the drone’s perspective, Huang Meng could clearly see the second squad, which had approached within less than a kilometer of the monsters, unleashed their first round of firepower output towards the monsters.

Gunfire and explosions merged into one, quickly disrupting the monsters’ movement tracks. Two monsters charged directly at the second squad’s position, while the remaining ones, including the "level three or above monster" capable of causing explosions, sped frantically toward the designated encirclement direction as if frightened.

"They’re here!"

Huang Meng was invigorated, gripping the sniper grenade tightly again.

At this point, the second squad, having created enough commotion, began retreating according to the predetermined route.

Their mission was not to wipe out this batch of monsters directly.

They were only to attract the monsters’ attention through feigned attacks, bringing those monsters "back"!

Guided by the drone, they quickly maneuvered along the pre-planned routes.

The two "Mao" vehicles utilized the barely visible paved roads in the jungle for rapid movement, exhibiting a uniquely high-mobility advantage.

Not a single monster could keep up with them, to the extent they had to occasionally pause at certain points, waiting for monsters that had lost track of them.

Everything was progressing smoothly.

The Beast Tide was gradually approaching the encirclement, when the last monster was driven out of the forest and into that barren open area, Huang Meng took a deep breath.

Then, Shen Yue’s voice came through his ear.

"Fire!"

"Bang!"

The sniper grenade let out a crisp sound, the 40mm grenade was fired, tracing a precise arc and landing directly on the giant monster about a kilometer away.

"Boom!"

An explosion resonated instantly.

Followed by even denser, fiercer gunfire!

"Bang bang bang bang bang----"

The 301 heavy machine gun continued to fire, the 12.7mm bullets mercilessly pierced through the monsters’ armor, shredding their flesh.

The monster clad in "Wood Armor" finally tasted the true power of "large caliber bullets", over 20,000 joules of kinetic energy shredded all cellulose-formed dense shells, even with significant energy loss, the remaining portion still tore the flesh beneath the shell to shreds.

And the same went for the "Matriarch Number Two".

With the penetrating wounds caused by the 8.6mm bullets, you might be able to use muscle contraction to stop the bleeding and restore function. With the wounds caused by the 12.7mm incendiary rounds, try contracting them once?

Just one or two bullets could directly destroy an entire muscle group system.

Contract still?

Contract my ass!

Under the powerful fire coverage, within an instant, four monsters in the Beast Tide fell.

And the level three monster stood up straight as it emitted a howling sound, completely exposing the air sac on its chest to everyone.

At that moment, Huang Meng instinctively aimed at its abdomen.

That’s the "weak spot".

The sniper grenade fired and then exploded.

"Bang!"

"Boom!"

It’s like a giant sewage tank was blown open, blood, flesh, and waste mixed with thick liquid scattered, and then, amidst the sparks of incendiary rounds, a second explosion occurred.

"Boom!"

Huang Meng even felt his eardrums instantly pressured.

This was a "biological fuel-air explosive"!

Its effects were astonishing to the point of terror, Huang Meng dared not imagine what kind of dreadful catastrophe such a monster could cause if it appeared near a human settlement.

But fortunately, it was already dead.

Huang Meng let out a long sigh of relief, but just at that moment, the commander’s voice suddenly came through his ear.

"A large number of active targets have appeared behind us."

Shen Yue’s voice was calm, but there was some urgency in his tone.

"It’s an ambush."

"We are ambushing them, they are also ambushing us!"

"Third squad, organize a rapid strike with 107 rockets at the designated location!"

"First squad, turn your guns to block fire!"

"They’re coming from behind you!"

"They’re fast! Be careful!"
