What was dropped was a 100,000-ton small-yield tactical nuclear bomb. In addition, it was drilled into the tunnel at the bottom of Honghu Lake by missile and detonated, so there was no mushroom cloud rising from the scene.
But this does not mean that the power of this nuclear explosion is small. On the contrary, because all the power of the explosion was suppressed underground, all the damage caused by the nuclear explosion was absorbed by the alien creatures underground.
The high temperature generated by the nuclear explosion directly melted the already frozen Honghu Lake, and a large amount of ice was directly evaporated into water vapor. The flames and impact generated by the explosion directly blasted a large pit at the original bottom of Honghu Lake, and around the bottom of the pit. The soil has been burned and turned into a glass-like texture.
The surrounding melted lake water poured into the large crater created by the explosion. The huge amount of lake water was still quickly evaporated and turned into water vapor. However, it quickly froze under the influence of the cold air and turned into a large number of ice particles. Then, It is evaporated again by the heat released by the fission reaction at the bottom of the lake that has not yet subsided, and so on.
However, even so, a large amount of lake water still poured into the channel along the channel originally dug by the alien creatures, together with the flames and impact caused by the explosion.
Under the power of the nuclear explosion, the entire Honghu Lake was boiled like a pot of fish soup poured directly into a red-hot iron pot.
But this did not last long. As the impact of the nuclear explosion compressed the strata at the bottom of the lake, most of the passages collapsed in a very short period of time.
Although a large amount of lake water has evaporated, a considerable amount of lake water still deposited at the bottom of the crater formed by the nuclear explosion, and poured into the collapsed and uncollapsed channels, flooding them.
In the entire Honghu Lake area, all alien creatures at the bottom and on the surface of the lake were wiped out under the influence of this nuclear explosion.
The ones on the lake fell into the melting lake water and were cooked directly. The meat was even crispy and the bones were rotten, and the bones and flesh were separated, turning into a pot of thick soup. The ones on the bottom of the lake were not much better, but the ones on the lake were all together. The fish soup evaporated together, and the water at the bottom of the lake was boiled, mixed with the fish soup, and poured into the alien creature's lair along the channel.
I don¡¯t know whether it was the good luck of humans or the bad luck of alien creatures. Under this wave of intrusion, the higher-level node responsible for the alien creatures¡¯ invasion of the Honghu area was also killed, causing the entire alien creature in the Honghu area to be lost at once. control.
Neither the fighting sub-body nor the worker ant sub-body have very high intelligence. After losing the command of the superior node, although they continued to attack according to the previous orders, it was obvious that they had changed from warriors who were not afraid of death to A beast that would cower in fear.
After losing that fearless aura, these alien creatures are just a group of relatively large numbers of beasts.
The soldiers on the front line felt this most obviously. Although they began to gradually retreat under the cover of the air force and artillery before the nuclear explosion, their battle with the alien creatures continued until the light of the nuclear explosion lit up. After visiting the entire Honghu Lake, they could truly feel the changes in the status of these alien creatures and the huge difference in combat power caused by the gap between the front and rear.
However, at this time, only the soldiers on the front line were aware of this change. Only the Honghu area was affected. The alien creatures in other areas still maintained a strong offensive. Unless a nuclear bomb was also sent to these places, in order to achieve the same effect. Effect.
After the military and senior officials used a tactical nuclear bomb, they no longer had any scruples, and considering the adjustment of the entire defense line, the military also moved to other places where alien biological activities were detected and alien biological invasions occurred. Tactical nuclear bombs were also used.
It's just that the yield of these tactical nuclear bombs is not large, and it has not reached the 100,000-ton yield of the Honghu one. Most of them are small tactical nuclear bombs with a yield of only a few thousand tons, and they are only designed to destroy the underground passages of alien creatures. .
However, even so, at the moment when the nuclear explosion occurred, the attack of the alien creatures seemed to be like eating an emp bomb, causing a short period of frustration, as if their upper command node was down.
But unlike the direct loss of command in the Honghu area, the alien biological offspring in other areas were affected for a very short time, and they quickly resumed their offensive rhythm.
At this time, the military has not yet noticed the opportunities and impacts that this change may bring, and is still busy adjusting its defense lines.
The originally surrounded defense lines shrank back in the areas that had been penetrated and crossed, and stretched into protrusions. Most of the remaining defense lines in the non-breakthrough direction just moved back a little to avoid becoming protrusions and sinking into the outside. Just surrounded by star creatures.
After this adjustment, the defense lines of areas breached by alien creatures along the underground water layer have become pockets., if you look at it from the map, the infiltration attack carried out by the alien creature is like a tentacle extending into a pocket, surrounded from three sides.
This is exactly the purpose of the military!
Since they can no longer be blocked, let them come in and fight, use local advantages to form a siege, and surround and fight these alien creatures that have broken through the original defense line!
The change in tactics has also brought new advantages to the war situation, and the use of tactical nuclear bombs has also allowed mankind to regain a victory on the battlefield.
Relying on such tactics, humans did not suffer huge losses after withdrawing their defense lines.
Although the traces of alien activities have extended to the periphery of many cities, relying on the advantages brought by tactical nuclear bombs and local encirclement tactics, humans have still defended a new line of defense and kept the aliens within the defense line.
But after all, it is the adjustment of the defense line of the entire Dongting Lake area. In some areas that were not originally the main attack direction of the alien creatures, there are still some defense lines that were breached by the alien creatures who gathered heavy troops in a short period of time.
Fortunately, this breakthrough was only short-term. Under the strong attack of the defenders at all costs and risking their lives, these breached openings were blocked and things did not get out of hand.
But the losses suffered by the defenders were also quite high. After all, when fighting alien creatures, when the opponent used human sea tactics and attacked head-on, all the defenders could do was risk their lives.
After all, a large number of air force, artillery and missile forces were used to support several major battlefields that were breached. Defense lines in ordinary areas like this could not receive sufficient fire support.
However, no matter what, this time the battle line adjustment did not cause uncontrollable chaos. The military also achieved its strategic goals and temporarily stabilized the situation because the Honghu area was breached and several areas on the defense line were penetrated and bypassed. the adverse situation brought about.
