Chapter 127
In mid-air, around the flower-bud-shaped ultraviolet generator, quite a few bats were circling. The machine gunners and snipers of the ground troops were creating a firepower encirclement, making these bats unable to fly out of the generator's range.
Spider-Man discovered a new use for Venom. After the devilish training of Iron Man and Batman, this symbiote had adapted very quickly to the whimsical combat methods of little Spider.
Spider-Man first used Venom's mucus to weave a large net, then jumped high from the bridge pillar like a real spider, and threw the net out. One net could always harvest more than a dozen bats. After that, he threw these bats into the range of the ultraviolet generator. After a while, he successfully caught hundreds of bats.
Natasha looked at the bats around the ultraviolet generator, but she still frowned and said: "No, this is not enough. We must eliminate more than one-third of their effective strength at once, otherwise the situation will remain very difficult."
Originally, humans didn't have an advantage in fighting supernatural creatures, not to mention that their numbers were so large, and the terrain was unfavorable for the exertion of human weapons. Heavy firepower like missiles couldn't be used at all; the Brooklyn Bridge couldn't withstand violent explosions.
Quake Daisy shouted: "Hurry up! My wave frequency is gradually weakening. That distance is too far. I can only control it for at most two minutes!"
Natasha didn't say a word, walked to the cockpit of the armed helicopter, grabbed the pilot, and sat in the seat herself, shouting: "Everyone! Prepare to parachute and evacuate!"
Then, while operating the helicopter, she took out the walkie-talkie and said: "Attention all Team 2! Everyone prepare to evacuate! The pilot follows my action trajectory, the machine gunner pays attention to firepower output, we will force that group of monsters in the east to go over!!"
Hawkeye Clint also shouted into the walkie-talkie: "No!!! That's too dangerous! The power of Stark's ultraviolet generation device is very large, you can't get too close, otherwise you will be melted instantly like those bats!!"
Natasha fully exerted the Russian combat style, directly hung up the walkie-talkie, ignored Hawkeye's protest, pulled the control stick hard, and the armed helicopter rushed toward the pile of bats.
The ordinary crew had already parachuted and evacuated. Only Natasha and the machine gunner remained. The pilot on the 2nd plane gritted his teeth and followed. The machine gunner on their plane had already sacrificed his life. Clint cursed in a low voice, then walked to the position of the machine gunner and started preparing for output.
The remaining two armed helicopters flew toward a large group of bats in the east. The machine gun operated by Hawkeye was responsible for the main firepower output, while Natasha provided tactical cover with the helicopter.
There was also Quake Daisy, the big killer, on the 2nd helicopter. Although she needed to split a part of her energy to control the ultraviolet generation device, she could still drive groups of bats toward the destination through vibration waves.
Just as these dozens of bats reached the range of the generator, Natasha roared into the walkie-talkie: "Daisy, do it!"
Quake Daisy gritted her teeth. Her hair was constantly flying in the helicopter's propeller. She stretched out a hand. Hawkeye said: "Wait! Let's prepare to evacuate first. Do you want to be blown up here?!"
"No! Someone must maintain firepower output. 2nd, withdraw first, I will follow up later!"
"Natasha! Are you crazy? Why are you still driving forward?!!" Hawkeye poked his head out and saw that Natasha's helicopter continued to fly forward, forcing a pile of bats that wanted to escape.
Daisy said: "Fast! I can't hold on anymore!"
"Evacuate immediately!" Natasha's voice sounded very calm. Hawkeye didn't know where she got such great confidence. He could only grit his teeth, then equip himself with a hook claw and parachute, and jumped off the helicopter with Daisy. The moment he jumped down, Daisy clenched her fist hard.
Instantly, the two ultraviolet generation devices suspended in the air exploded violently, simply like a sun lighting up over the Brooklyn Bridge.
The violent explosion was accompanied by high-intensity ultraviolet rays spreading out. In an instant, all the bats within the range of the generator turned into fly ash.
Beside the giant sun, a small black shadow fell. Immediately after, another black shadow swung over with spider silk and directly caught her. When Spider-Man put Natasha on the top of the Brooklyn Bridge pier, Venom said in his heart: "Her figure is quite good, right?"
Peter's face turned red. Fortunately, he was wearing a mask. Natasha patted the dust off her body and turned back to look at her results.
The effect of this tactical action was indeed amazing. One-third of the bats originally circling over the Brooklyn Bridge were affected by the explosion, and the vast majority of them lost their combat ability.
More importantly, vampires are also a type of humanoid biological creature with high intelligence. As long as there is humanity, they will fear.
Seeing their companions turn into fly ash in an instant, their psychological pressure also became very great. It was already visible to the naked eye that many bats no longer circled in the air, but turned into human form, wanting to escape along the alleys.
At this time, an advantage of the Brooklyn Bridge area was reflected. The human troops blocked both ends of the bridge. Any bat that wanted to fly out had to accept the baptism of machine gun bullets and sniper bullets. And if they didn't fly out and wanted to avoid sniper killing, they could only turn into human form, which had a smaller volume and was not easy to be hit.
But turning into human form within the range of the bridge, either landing on the bridge deck or landing in the river, neither of these two locations was a good choice.
Landing on the bridge deck, they immediately had to accept the baptism of gunfire, and landing on the river surface, vampires didn't have any strong mobility in the water, almost becoming living targets.
Except for some high-level vampires who were good at using magic, most ordinary vampires could only flee in panic toward the bottom of the bridge.
Just when Natasha was preparing to convey the next combat plan, a burst of violent breaking-air sound sounded. She looked up and saw several black shadows approaching at high speed in the distant sky. Natasha said: "The fighter group has entered the field!"
Although armed helicopters can be used for combat, they are not as professional as fighter jets. 12 fighter jets made sharp cries, tearing through the sky. Basically, in one encounter, they shot down more than a dozen big bats.
Although low-altitude combat is not the strength of fighter jets, the air combat literacy of fighter jet pilots is much stronger than these bats that only know how to fly randomly.
I saw them in small teams of three, carrying out rapid tactical maneuvers, often playing the bats around. The bats in the air were distracted, and there was no time to dive at the ground troops. The situation on the ground was immediately greatly relieved.
The ground troops mainly had to deal with humanoid high-level vampires. They would use various magic, such as a sharp claw that suddenly appeared from black mist. Even with Spider-Man's speed, he almost got hit a few times. Once ordinary people were ambushed, the probability of survival was very small.
Therefore, the attrition rate of the ground troops was too fast, and the personnel who filled in again needed time to reorganize firepower.
On the bridge deck, Steve raised his shield, and the sound of sharp claws scratching metal made one's scalp tingle. Steve said: "This won't work! Spider-Man, are you there? We have to think of a way, we can't let them use magic so wantonly, that is too harmful to ordinary people!"
Spider-Man's voice came from the headset: "Destroy the bridge."
"What did you say?" Steve said incredulously: "Spider-Man? Hello? Are you okay?"
"I said, we have to destroy the bridge so they have no foothold."
Peter's voice sounded very calm, even a bit low, a bit unlike him, but Steve was attracted by this voice and didn't refute it for the first time, but listened to Peter finish speaking.
"I just observed it. When they turn into bat form and circle in the air, they have no way to use that kind of sharp claw magic. They must turn into human form to use magic."
"Gene Great Era"
"And when they turn into human form, they must have a foothold."
"Now the bridge deck is too spacious, and they can use magic unscrupulously. But once the bridge is destroyed, without a flat bridge deck, only high and low undulating wreckage remains, then humans can use the wreckage as cover."
"Not only can they avoid magic ambushes, but special combat teams have also entered the field. This is their strength."
Steve opened his mouth and took a deep breath. He said: "Peter, I really didn't expect... are you really Peter?"
It's no wonder Steve was so surprised. In the previous exchanges with Peter, he also found that because Peter was relatively young and had little experience, some of the tactical plans he thought of often appeared a bit petty.
This is also very normal. After all, you can't expect a high school student who has seen at most street fights to think of any big plans. But this time it really shocked Steve. Peter opened his mouth and said a very bold plan.
Peter's voice sounded very calm. Now his mind was full of various possibilities of this tactic. He said: "Now is the only opportunity. The bats in the air are attracted by the fighter group and will not interfere with us. And the explosion of the ultraviolet generation device just now has destroyed half of the bridge pier in the southeast direction."
"We only need to destroy the bridge pier in the southwest direction, and the entire bridge will collapse from the south. I estimate that about half of the bridge will completely collapse, which will provide huge space for the action of the special combat team."
Steve stood behind a truck and couldn't help but continue: "Indeed, the explosion just now made many bats run to the bottom of the bridge. Once the bridge collapses, it can crush many of them."
He stood on the edge of the bridge and looked down. There were red eyes everywhere under the bridge, which looked very creepy. Steve said: "They don't like to hide under the bridge deck? Then lead more bats there. At the moment the bridge collapses, even if they are not crushed to death, they will have to eat bullets when they fly out collectively."
After formulating the combat plan, Steve and Peter began to cooperate. They got some explosives from Police Chief George and communicated with George simply. Chief George indicated that the ground police force would cooperate with the action at any time.
With this promise, Spider-Man contacted Natasha again. Natasha also expressed great approval for their quite bold plan. She said: "Those nagging congressmen only consider the repair cost of the bridge. Why don't they think that now every bullet fired is silver? The firepower cost of this moment is enough to build two bridges."
"And, your plan is too conservative," this female agent from the Soviet Union said very firmly: "The greater the equivalent, the greater the effect! Your efficiency of manually transporting explosives is really too low!"
"Listen, I just contacted Stark. The reason why he has been slow to come is that he is adjusting his mecha. Later, about 5 unmanned mechas will join the battlefield. I will take away two of them."
"You just need to mount enough explosives on them, and then launch a suicide attack directly. This will not only blow up the bridge, but the violent explosion can also harvest a wave of bats that have no time to escape."
Steve and Peter both swallowed their saliva. Steve said: "Actually, we originally just wanted half of the bridge to collapse, so that we can..."
"Can you Americans be a bit bolder?!" The female agent roared: "If the Soviet Union had commanders like you, those Germans would have rushed into Moscow long ago!!!"
"Listen to me! Prepare immediately!! Blow up the Brooklyn Bridge completely!!!"
