A few seconds later, the beam of light dissipated, Ye Han involuntarily exhaled a breath of turbidity, and just as he wanted to speak, the beam of light fell from the sky again, falling to the south of New Guinea Island again.

Wherever the laser is shrouded, it has become a purgatory of flames, and the remaining insects hide in the sturdy building to survive, as long as they do not leave the building and are not directly irradiated by the laser, their lives will not be in danger.

Even if the mind is controlled by aliens, the instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm is still rooted in the instinct of all insect people, driving them to hide honestly.

Of course, the military will not ignore this, and at the same time as the laser fell, the cannons of the Southeast Fleet also let out an earth-shattering roar, and the disemboweled cannonballs flew straight to the buildings on the island, destroying the hiding places of the insects one by one.

Some of the insects were in a hurry, and escaped from the building where they were hiding, and sadly turned into barbecue, while the rest of the insects were hesitating when a deadly cannonball hit the building.

Although the caliber of the naval guns is not large, and one or two cannons cannot collapse the modern buildings of reinforced concrete, the fleet has artillery shells, which is nothing more than a matter of a few more rounds.

It's really not good, there is still a mountain number in the sky, just throw something down, even the underground bunker can't carry it.

After repeating this several times, the entire southern part of New Guinea almost returned to the flood, and even if the insect people were lucky enough to escape the laser scorching, they would be buried by the collapsed buildings, and no matter how they hid, they would die.

A few minutes later, the super-artillery ended the air strike, and then the shelling of the South-Eastern Fleet was terminated.

It took only five minutes from the time the supercannon fired to the end of the shelling, but that time was a nightmare in southern New Guinea, known as the Black Five Minutes.

This is not an exaggeration, within five minutes, one-fifth of the island of New Guinea was covered by lasers, large areas of jungle carbonized and burned, all life on the ground died, and the forest fires caused by lasers burned from the roar, and black smoke reached into the sky.

Satellites can see that the forest fires are spreading outside the airstrike zone, and if the fires are not controlled, it will not be long before they develop into an ecological disaster that will affect the entire island.

The Northern Metropolitan immediately instructed the South-Eastern Fleet to land in New Guinea, but the task of the landing force was not to fight, but to create a fire barrier on the island to prevent the fire from spreading to other directions on the island...... Forest fires can be divided into three types: surface fires, crown fires and underground fires, and the fires left behind by the attack are crown fires, which are very difficult to extinguish, and the best way is to rely on roads, rivers and other favorable terrain to open up isolation zones.

The first ground attack of the Super Cannon was very successful, and the Battle of New Guinea was definitely a hearty victory, and many people never even thought that the Super Cannon could be used in this way, let alone in an island attack.

But everyone didn't expect that the super cannon would leave such a big sequelae.

In order to extinguish the forest fires as soon as possible, the landing force adopted the tactics of landing at multiple points and advancing at the same time, and at the same time drove into New Guinea from several directions to put out fires as quickly as possible.

In addition to this, the landing force took advantage of the favorable terrain of the mountain peaks and rivers to extinguish hundreds of kilometers of the line of fire.

Afterwards, the landing force found hundreds of charred corpses of the insects in the burned jungle, according to the military's speculation, the vast majority of the insects died under the joint strangulation of the super cannon and the fleet, and only a small number of the insects fled into the primeval jungle, the number was about a few hundred, at most no more than a thousand.

These bugmen must be hidden dangers, but they are too few and unorganized to pose any threat to the next landing operation.

If they hide honestly, then hello, I'm good, everyone, the military has no time to take care of them for a while, if they are restless and defend themselves, and dare to jump out to make trouble, no matter whether the Southeast Fleet or the Lishan, they can deal a devastating blow at the first time.

On the afternoon of January 2, 2031, dark clouds and heavy rain came over New Guinea as scheduled, completely extinguishing the spreading line of fire, and the landing force finally freed itself and began to clear the remnants of the insects and occupy important nodes on the island.

At this point, New Guinea was already in the hands of the military, and it was only a matter of time before it was completely naturalized.

Decisive progress has also been made in the direction of Calidan and Philippine Islands, but there are no plans to emigrate to these islands for the time being, and all islands are under military control.

According to the plan, the engineering unit will build a number of military forts at key locations on the islands to defend against alien invasions.

After everything settled, Ye Han unexpectedly found that the military map had changed Calidan to the ancient name of Bolo Island, the Philippines Island had also been changed to Luzon, and New Guinea had changed its name to "Beiyang Island".

Beiyang Island is located in the northern part of Oceania, and the name is apt.

According to the plan of the northern capital, Baltic Island, Luzon, Beiyang Island and nearby islands will become the first line of the northern capital to fight against aliens, and the military also plans to drag aliens on these islands to prevent aliens from approaching the mainland.

For this reason, in addition to the first batch of landing troops and the second batch of landing troops, another round of pre-war mobilization was carried out in China, and one million officers and men were dispatched to the south in batches and in batches to thoroughly control the three islands.

The Northern Metropolitan also plans to recruit 80 to 1 million new recruits in batches to fill the vacancies left by the transfer of personnel and avoid the emptiness of domestic strength.

By then, the total strength of the military will exceed six million!

Moreover, not only is the size of the army the first, but the quality of the soldiers, the will to fight, the combat equipment, the level of training, and the actual combat effectiveness are all first-class, and it is no exaggeration to say that this army will surely become the mainstay of the fight against aliens.

This is only the active army, and if all the reserve forces are mobilized, tens of millions will not be able to stop it.

But there is no point in doing that, because the country simply does not have the strength to arm so many armies!

It's not that the country has a weak foundation, and it's not that the north has no determination, but that the time is different from the past, and in the past, the mobilization of troops, that is, a military uniform and a rifle, plus the necessary material supplies, the cost of raising a soldier was very low.

For example, in the 70s of the last century, the total size of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) reached a record 6.7 million, and at the height of the insect plague, the total number of troops mobilized nationwide was not less than 10 million.

But what about now? The whole army is equipped with more than 100,000 sets of power armor, and without a single power armor, no matter how strong the combat effectiveness is, it is embarrassed to call itself a first-line unit, and the equipment level of the second-line troops is the elite troops before the explosion, even if they are the least welcome to meet the last troops, at least they must be equipped with enough large-caliber rifles.

Such a level of equipment is unprecedented, and the combat effectiveness of the troops is far greater than before, so there is no point in simply expanding the number.

And the infantry is nothing, the real money-burning force is the space fleet, the cost of building a space battleship, arming several infantry divisions is not a problem.
