Chapter 387: The Tragic Death Squad
Since the last siege of Guam, the huge think tank in the country has not been idle, and combined with the detailed battlefield report, they have come to a conclusion.
After the number of monsters exceeds a certain range and strength, the so-called radar and satellite guidance systems are not considered insurance, and it is necessary to develop a superweapon that can be operated by a single person and does not rely on ground guidance systems as soon as possible.
After layers of screening, an individual air defense missile quickly entered the attention of the research group as a technical verification platform.
This individual anti-aircraft missile is the largest of its kind, and an adult can barely carry it on his shoulder for about a minute, let alone a strong soldier.
However, despite this, it is still difficult to shrink a nuclear weapon to the point where it can be fitted, and it is important to know that this is not to miniaturize the atomic bomb, but to reduce the number of neutron bombs that will be contaminated by nuclear weapons later.
After repeated trials, the researchers finally came up with the most effective plan at the time when Guam's personnel were rotated, and the three scientists who took the initiative to sign up were willing to stay in Guam and be responsible for the installation and commissioning of the most difficult work.
At this time, the defenders of Guam were almost on the line of life and death.
"Tell me, what do you need?" James can't wait to get out of this cave as soon as possible.
"The weapons are ready, but we need the operator and a team of soldiers to protect us, and I estimate that in order to ensure safety, it will take at least thirty seconds of exposure to the ground before it can be successfully launched."
James knew that this kind of mission would be life-threatening, and when he went up to the world realm on the ground that had been occupied by many demon beasts, I was afraid that few people were willing to die, but he couldn't help but make this decision.
"I know, please wait here, I'll arrange someone immediately."
James summoned the commanders of all twelve companies to assemble in the conference room, and when they met, he said straight to the point without a word of nonsense: "Brothers, I thought we could hold out for at least a month or two. But now the situation has taken a new turn. You should have heard about General Hawke, there is now a kind of super-small demon beast in the base that I don't know what type of demon beast it is, their life type is very primitive, and it is not even comparable to the IQ of ants and bees, but they are extremely threatening. Although they are temporarily sealed in the A3 area by me, no one knows where there will be loopholes in these dense pipes, once they break through the blockade and enter our middle...... The consequences are unimaginable. ”
Twelve company commanders, look at me, I'll look at you. If it weren't for the military discipline that restricts them now, I'm afraid some people would have already taken out their own wine bottles and got drunk.
"Colonel, if you have any tasks...... "Jeremy, the oldest company commander, asked, with no expression on his face, as if the muscles in his face had been paralyzed.
"Now that scientists have developed a single nuclear weapon launch system, we urgently need a team of people to go to the base to test it, and if it is successful...... The base now has enough nuclear warheads to destroy all the monsters near the island, which means that we are all safe. ”
"Now go to the ground? Colonel, this is a complete mission to death. I estimate that even if a hundred people escort one person up, I'm afraid that not one person will survive. ”
"But maybe the experiment will succeed, won't it?" James asked rhetorically.
"Yes, the lives of a hundred people have a fifty percent chance!" When Company Commander Jeremy said this. Everyone was completely silent, as if even the sound of breathing had disappeared.
James knew that he couldn't be soft at this time, paused for a moment, and said, "Now is the time when the country and comrades-in-arms need you. Anyone willing to lead the team on a mission, please stand up! ”
James was neither afraid nor willing to appoint someone at this time, because it would be too cruel and unfair...... Of course, if there is really no one to come out. He also had to make this difficult decision.
Time seemed to stand still, and the only sound left in the conference room was the heavy breathing of everyone......
"I'll go!" Jeremy raised his eyebrows, stood up, and said.
"Jeremy......" James was very grateful in his heart, there was almost no hope of surviving this kind of mission, but he couldn't say any more as his eyes moistened.
"However, I have one request!"
"Please say, as long as I can do it, I will never refuse!"
"The specific participants must be allowed to choose freely, if all the people of our company participate, I can't open my mouth!"
"Okay, no problem, I'll announce it to everyone right away."
……
A heavy and helpless announcement reached everyone's ears through the radio system in the base, and everyone was silent after listening to it.
Go, nine deaths!
If you don't go, let's wait for death in the base together!
Some people lowered their heads and thought about Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts, they felt that there would always be some hot-blooded comrades-in-arms who would come forward to be this hero, and they only needed to stay down obediently, maybe there was still hope of living.
Still others are hesitant to gamble...... Soldiers who can be promoted by virtue of military merit in the army are rare, and the strict hierarchy has no room for accommodation in the country of mold, which is known as fair and free.
A child of a civilian family, after entering the army, if it is not for luck to make great achievements, otherwise after retirement, he will still have nothing, and it is even more difficult for his peers who did not join the army to adapt to society.
Standing up at this critical juncture, of course, there is nothing to do after death, but in case you survive...... That is a splash of wealth waiting for him, not to mention getting rich in one day, but as long as people are not too stupid and enter the political arena with the aura of this hero, the achievement must not be underestimated.
And just like that, while James and Jeremy were anxiously waiting for volunteers in the conference room, they finally walked in, one by one, the fighters who looked at death as if they were at home.
"Good...... Good...... You are all the pride of the country, the pride of the army...... "James had planned that if no one came over, he would have to take the lead and take on this mortal mission.
"Sir, I'd like to make a small request......," a soldier asked, raising his hand.
"Please."
"I want to put a video recorder on every soldier's head......"
"This ......" James looked down and thought about it, and after a moment he understood what the soldier meant.
"Okay, no problem, I'll ask someone from the logistics department to bring a hundred sets over immediately."
"Xie Lu, Chief Xie."
James looked at the soldier with a little childish on his face, looked at his dog tag carefully, and carefully wrote down his name.
Thirty minutes later, when the equipment personnel were ready, James did not say a few high-sounding words, but took out a hundred bottles of good wine from the munitions and placed them on the table in the conference room.
"Raise a glass ......"
A hundred hands were held high above their heads, and the wine glasses in their hands were shining with red light and shadow.
"I wish you a safe and triumphant victory!"
"Peace and triumph!"
There were not many generous speeches, no tears, no reluctance, and everyone poured the wine in their cups as if they had emboldened themselves.
"Kill these ugly ......"
"The earth is the ...... of our humanity"
"If I get home safely, I'll be locked up at home, order pizza and beer every day, and watch soap operas for a month!"
"Ha Lu Ha...... Ha Lu Ha ......"
Watching his comrades-in-arms leave from the elevator leading to the ground at the base, James finally couldn't help but shed a tear, and then took all the people who saw him off to the closed elevator door and silently saluted a military salute!
Ten minutes......
Thirty minutes......
Fifty minutes......
Twenty minutes had passed since the end time given by the staff officer, but the closed elevator door showed no sign of opening.
At this time, there was bad news from other places!
"Sir, there are traces of small slugs found in C2 area, also crawling out of the ventilation ducts."
"Seal the area immediately, and all personnel retreat......"
"Sir, those slimy guys have also been found in D5, a soldier has been accidentally attacked and has been sent to the medical room."
"Close the D5 area quickly, everyone should not approach easily, and if you find a similar situation in the future, you must notify the protection team to deal with it first!"
While dealing with the situation of the invading monster, James anxiously waited for the elevator door to open, and just after a full two hours had passed, all the electrical appliances in the base suddenly dimmed, and even the ground had some slight vibrations.
The otaku scientist, who had been standing beside James and had never left, suddenly jumped and screamed, and they hugged each other, and the glasses on their faces were knocked to the ground.
"It worked, it worked...... Just now it was an electromagnetic shock wave from the detonation of a small nuclear weapon, and our modification was successful. ”
The morale that had been lowered when they heard that they had rediscovered the traces of the slugs instantly rose to full capacity, and if everyone was not indoors, I am afraid that many people would have picked up their weapons and shot them into the sky.
James was also very happy at this time, but he always thought about the soldiers on the mission, after so much time, although the missile was successfully detonated, but on the way back, would anyone still survive?
No one knew what to do, so they could only wait silently.
The elevator that goes up to the base does not lead directly to the ground...... In that case, the entire elevator shaft will become a living big loophole, so when the elevator lifting device was designed, the elevator was only set to go up three floors above the ground.
For the rest of the distance, they had to walk up.
And when they evacuated the ground, because there was a large access channel, the three underground floors were already unsafe, and the soldiers of these death squads were likely to encounter demon beasts immediately after leaving the elevator area.
Now that the test launch has been successful, the road back is also full of thorns. (To be continued......)
