The command post was not far from Jiang Yan Hai's position. Jiang Yan Hai rushed into the command post in less than a minute, "What's going on?"
"Report! The infrared reconnaissance of the drone found a large amount of heat accumulation." Shao Xiao Jia, who was on duty, immediately put the relevant picture on the big screen.
At this moment, the outside temperature is below minus 20 degrees. If the temperature above zero is abnormally obvious, you can see that in the infrared field of view of the drone, countless dense red highlights are quickly gathering in the wind and snow.
"Is it Red Mad Wolf?" Jiang Yan Hai asked immediately.
"According to the thermal energy response detection, the temperature of these red dots is about 38-40 degrees Celsius, which is very close to the body temperature of Red Mad Wolf. However, Red Mad Wolf does not have body hair to keep out the cold. It stands to reason that their body temperature will pass very quickly at such a low temperature." Shao Xiao Jia said immediately.
"They cannot be counted as regular animals. Have you found the location where they appeared?" Jiang Yan Hai asked immediately.
"It is located in our southern mountain range, 32 kilometers away from us. I compared the photos I took there during the day. There should be underground caves there. These wolves should have been hidden in the underground caves before. The current number of wolves identified by scanning is about 1,200."
"Where are their destinations?" Jiang Yan Hai asked immediately.
"It seems that they are still further east, and their direction is not towards us."
"The base enters the first level of alert. Tell the airport to take off two more drones at maximum speed. One drone will patrol the area and lock the location where they appear. The other two will follow the wolves to determine where they gather. If other entrances and exits are found, all locations will be calibrated." Jiang Yan Hai decisively issued the latest order.
"Yes!"
The entire base quickly changed from silence to a boiling state. Fortunately, everyone had not started to rest at this time, so the entire base quickly entered a first-level alert state.
Armored regiments and artillery regiments are the key forces, and the same is true for Special Operations Regiment. This is especially true for other logistics transportation. However, logistics transportation is not easy in such weather. Fortunately, such a war is not a large-scale sustained war. The ammunition transportation can be towed by trucks.
Instead of choosing an ordinary truck, the logistics team chose the JM8 Junma Series crawler-type towed all-terrain truck. The weapons and ammunition equipped at the back are replaced with special ammunition.
These Red Mad Wolf are not like the armies of other countries. If they are dispatched, they may feint. As long as they are dispatched, they will definitely attack.
The armored regiment dispatched two battalions, one battalion of tanks and one battalion of Type 09 Infantry Fighting Vehicle. All the Type 09 Infantry Fighting Vehicle of this battalion chose to be equipped with 30mm rotary cannons as the main fire output, and the secondary guns chose 7.62mm rotary machine guns with built-in maximum ammunition load.
All infantrymen ride Type 09 Infantry Fighting Vehicle, while the artillery regiment rides 155mm Self-Propelled Howitzer, 300mm Long-Range Rocket Launcher, and 107mm Rocket Launcher.
107mm Rocket Launcher can be directly mounted on the back of an infantry fighting vehicle and can be towed.
By the time the troops were ready to attack, the two drones had already arrived at the place where the wolves were found, and began to move east along the direction of the wolves' advance. The remaining drone, which had consumed some of its fuel, was hovering in place, marking the relevant locations directly.
The two drones flew east together, but when they were about 50 kilometers east, they discovered a larger Red Mad Wolf group. They were all converging toward the northeast, but there were more Red Mad Wolf groups further south converging toward the north.
"One flies south to mark the place where they appear, and one searches for the place where they gather." Jiang Yan Hai took a deep breath. At this moment, the flying altitude of the drone was already very high, but the picture detected by the infrared heat energy... was densely packed in red, and their size could no longer be described in thousands.
The number is probably at least tens of thousands.
As for the target they are gathering at, Jiang Yan Hai already has a vague guess in his mind. About 100 kilometers northeast of them, there is the largest city discovered so far, with a population estimated to be at least several hundred thousand. It should be the provincial capital where Commander Lu is located.
And the place where these Red Mad Wolf gather should be there i.
Although the provincial capital has higher walls, all cities in this world close their gates at night, a bit like cities in feudal society.
But the snowy night covered up these Red Mad Wolf actions. There is a saying that once a person is full, there are no boundaries, and these wolves give people an endless feeling.
And in this weather, you don't need to think about it to know that the patrolling soldiers in this world cannot last long outside. It is estimated that these wolves may not be discovered when they get under the city wall.
So the question is, when they find out, can they still be stopped?
This Commander Lu is said to have tens of thousands of people, but not all of these people are stationed in this city. Several counties near the city also have their own parts.
I just don't know if this Commander Lu has artillery. If it has artillery and enough ammunition, I guess it can hold on for a while.
What I'm afraid of now is that if they can't be discovered, these wolves will enter the city. Once they enter the city... there's really nothing they can do.
"Report! A huge heat source is moving here. Five of them have been found so far." A drone operator suddenly spoke loudly.
Jiang Yan Hai immediately walked over. When these Red Mad Wolf heat sources were gathered together, they had already formed a bright red patch. However, one of the heat sources on the screen was unusually conspicuous at this moment. Its body temperature was close to 45 degrees Celsius.
Among known animals, only swifts have a body temperature that can reach 44 degrees Celsius, but almost all warm-blooded land animals are similar to humans.
"Lower the height, project two flares, and prepare to take pictures." Jiang Yan Hai took a deep breath.
Large drones have the ability to carry bombs, and drones that take off at night all carry flares. If you switch the optical mode, you should be able to take photos of it.
"Yes!" The operator immediately steered the drone in the air, and then the two flares under the wings were instantly dropped. When they landed at an altitude of two to three hundred meters, they exploded violently, and 10 huge fireballs instantly lit up the entire night sky.
The drone in the sky had switched to the optical mode. When the transmitted images were continuously displayed on the big screen, everyone couldn't help but take a breath.
They were two bears and a Giant Wolf. The picture was instantly frozen, and then placed on the big screen in front of them through the measurement device on the drone.
"Report! This Giant Wolf is 1.8 meters tall at the shoulders and about 2.5 meters in length excluding the tail. The species of these two bears cannot be identified. Their skin is brown and black, and they also have no fur. The standing height is close to 5 meters." Shao Xiao Jia instantly gave the calculation data.
This wolf is about the same size as a horse, and it's also a very large horse.
