Steel Steam and Flame

Chapter 457: Forward (2)

It didn't take long to get out of the volcano base to perform the mission. Judging from what we know so far, their losses are indeed great. Even Major Barron’s own team was attacked and was crushed by heavy machine guns. Then supplemented with sniper rifles and portable artillery, the enemy's firepower is very fierce, comparable to the professional firepower team on the volcano base. Moreover, the weapons and ammunition used were all produced by the empire. Everyone hid behind various bunkers, and they could only smile helplessly.

Now there are only more than twenty people in this combined team. Before the two teams merged, they all had losses of different degrees. This is the case for the teams that can still be contacted, and most of them have encountered each other with the enemy. In addition to the small casualties of the firepower-focused team, a group of experienced and self-qualified veterans also felt tremendous pressure in the face of an attack by an enemy composed of all surgeons.

"It's a big problem that the volcano base can't be reached." Colonel Barron sat resting on the snow, and the captain was sitting beside him. The two were talking about the future of the mission.

"I already knew the purpose of the enemy's coming here, and I also roughly guessed where the enemy's airship was parked. Originally, as long as these things were confirmed in the next few days, even if the task was completed. But the communication machine did not work at all. It can’t be sent out, and it can’t keep up with the deadly supplies. The food in the rucksack is running out. After such a heavy snowfall, the animals in the mountains and forests all hid as if they had discussed it. After the snow, not even the bird saw a single bird. The snow can’t stop. I really have to find a way for the food in the future.” The captain looked sad. Of course, this is for the ordinary soldiers behind him, he and the captain. The two have already saved their food subconsciously. Only relying on basic water and high-energy fat stored in the body, they can support about two weeks. But those ordinary soldiers can't do it. If they are hungry for a long time, their combat effectiveness will drop immediately.

"The positions of all the teams have been shared, and some teams will come together first. At that time, their strength can also be superimposed and strengthened. It will be safer to move forward in the mountains." This was the only thing that made them feel. Reassuring news.

"The next thing in the task is the focus, and the situation will become more difficult at that time."

"Yeah, after all, we are going to the original Xuefeng base. Moving forward in the snow, even if the two of us open the way, the speed will not become very fast. It will probably take at least three days to reach the snow. At the outskirts of the peak, I had to stop and take a good rest, just waiting for the other teams to come together." The captain said the ideal situation.

"But the process is definitely not like this. Even if the enemy's airship does not stop at Xuefeng Base, it is definitely nearby. At that time, the chance of encountering the enemy will become very high, and there will be supplies behind the enemy at any time. Once they are up against each other, our side will only suffer. In reality, less than one-tenth of these people will be able to get back alive."

"Or less, not more." The captain smiled mockingly, and reached out to wipe the falling snow on his face.

The major nodded slightly, the snow peak in the distance was vaguely under the falling snow. He looked at him and stopped talking, and was silent for a long time. The captain closed his eyes and rested silently.

"Actually, I have a bad illusion." The captain closed his eyes and spoke, and the major looked straight ahead without looking.

"What illusion?" Major Barron asked.

"I think it's just my simple belief." The captain emphasized, "The high-levels of the volcano base should know these things about the common country of distant seas. After all, two huge forces have planted a large number of spies and agents in each other's country. Some people even started training a long time ago. In terms of descent and race, some of them can be regarded as people from the Common Country of Far Seas. This time, the origins of these surgeons who are floating around the base are they It’s already clear that it is. And the signal interference has been so long, but there is still no response on the base side..."

"Is history repeating itself?" Colonel Barron understood what the captain said, and then said to himself, "I signed an agreement with the Empire and stayed in the concentration training camp for nearly a year and a half. Later, because of my good performance, I got excellent grades. He has an easy-going personality, and he has not been affected by the smoke of gunpowder. After the training, he was not immediately assigned to various front bases or military districts. Instead, he entered the imperial military professional school and became a surgeon there. Then he came. The volcano base has been staying now. When the high-ranking officer of the volcano base had an accident, I was just like you, just a captain. Although it was a big trouble, it was only a few years away. Who remembers that?"

"Everyone is a product of environmental influences. It is not easy to climb to that position. As long as there is a little directional error in the middle, you may have to get down from your current position immediately, and you will lose something. Like me, If you want to improve your military rank, strength is an important aspect, but it is no longer the main one. I can only say that it is one of the main ones. I may have come to the end. My age is not much older than you, but the things I see must be better than you. Many." Major Barron exclaimed ~www.ltnovel.com~ There are not many high-ranking officials like that, and the empire is not as rotten as you think. It's just that every time such a thing appears, it will cause a small-scale sensation, and my ears will hear more from time to time. "

"The same thing won't happen anymore. Even if there is something in Xuefeng, it is just the enemy's airship and a bunch of old machines. As for the connection with the base, it should be due to other reasons. It may be in the front belt. What happened so that they have no time to take care of us."

"It might just be me." The captain smiled dryly, not knowing what to say for a while.

After taking a look at the time, it was almost time. The major stood up from the snow, patted the snow behind him, and carried his heavy equipment on his back.

"Let’s go, no matter what’s going on over the base, we have to go to Xuefeng’s place. In order not to destroy the enemy, we must figure out whether the enemy’s airship is there. Then we will find a way to pass the message to the base. A heavy cruiser-class airship that has been maintained can be used. I have been to the volcano base for so long, and I have only seen a scene of heavy cruises to perform a mission. I think of the lift device connecting power, The shocking scene of the rising of the wind-proof wall around the airport, I really want to go and sit on a heavy cruiser with full fire one day to see what the scene of dozens of main gun salvos looks like." The major said here, the whole body There was an invisible sensation of hotness.
