Chapter 209 - 206 Close Combat is King
The grenade had a short range, limited power, and a long reaction time. In this battle, where the leading roles should have been played by aerial bombs, artillery shells, and anti-aircraft guns, there was no place for hand grenades.
The key issue was that the small monsters were constantly moving. By the time a grenade was thrown, the monster would have already run off.
Attempting to predict their movements and toss a grenade right beneath their bellies was easier said than done, and even more difficult to achieve in practice.
Thus, while a method to counter the small monsters had been found, the execution was too demanding, rendering the effect almost nil.
The anti-aircraft gun had sufficient power, but the small monsters moved too quickly and were too small. Moreover, most of them were in the crowd now, and no matter how powerful the anti-aircraft or machine guns were, one dared not fire into the crowd.
So, aside from Gao Yuan who had killed two small monsters with his knife and steel mace, the rest of the monsters deployed by the Serpent People were still in good shape.
Several grenades had exploded in succession, but none had managed to injure the monsters. What to do in such a situation? Of course, it was time to look to Gao Yuan.
"Hand grenades!"
Gao Yuan shouted, but the people around him lacked coordination with him. He only shouted "hand grenades," but who knew whether he was asking for hand grenades or warning that a grenade was about to explode for safety.
Gao Yuan called out urgently again, "Give me hand grenades!"
