Jefferson flipped through the information quickly, the sweat on his forehead getting denser and denser, and when he got to the back, his body began to tremble.

After leaving the villa, Jefferson immediately went to the archives, where he needed to determine the veracity of what Colonel Jamie had said.

The archival materials record the Battle of Okinawa in great detail, and there are more than a dozen pictures and texts. But when Jefferson turned to the Battle of the Outlying Islands, it was marked with the words Top Secret.

The book was much thinner, and Jefferson's mind recalled what Jamie had said:

"Our landing force was responsible for attacking the outlying islands of Okinawa, and we thought it would be a very simple landing operation, but when we went up, the beach turned into hell.

The more than 3,000 soldiers who landed on the island were all killed, and some of them did not even have corpses left, and the enemy's fire was very strong, but we could not find the target of the attack......"

That's it, that's exactly what I'm looking for.

Jefferson opened the file excitedly, but what fell into his eyes was blank, and Jefferson was stunned.

The first three pages have no content, only a small line in the corner: there is no record of the battle; Enemy data is not recorded; The cause of the loss is not recorded.

It wasn't until the fourth page that the relevant battlefield photos appeared in the materials, but they were apparently taken after the war.

The photographs are a little yellowed and the images are a little blurry, but the fierceness of the fighting can still be seen through the photographs.

A large number of corpses of American soldiers lay on the beachhead, and some of them died in a terrible state, and they were even crumpled together like rag dolls.

The eighth page is the situation of the artillery positions, which were established after the landing, and which were well coordinated and well defended, but nevertheless they were also captured.

The thick barrels of the cannon twisted together like twists, the shells were scattered all over the ground, and even worse, one of the batteries was clearly blown out, and just a hundred meters away, three soldiers died behind the other cannon. They were apparently killed by the recoil of the cannon.

The heavy artillery apparently fired flat and fired an emergency fire that had escaped safety procedures, which led to the deaths of the three soldiers.

What kind of danger made them take such an extreme attack?

The attentive Jefferson noticed something strange about some of the cannons, the steel machines had completely melted, and the molten iron stuck to the ground like a rotten cake.

Next to the photo, there is the analysis text of the expert back then:

We believe that this is an extremely strong corrosive liquid, that the enemy has unleashed chemical weapons on us, and that this is a new product that we have not yet mastered.

This weapon melted a large number of our weapons in a very short time, and easily destroyed the defenses of the artillery positions, causing extreme panic among the soldiers.

The weapon is so corrosive and volatile that we won't be able to collect any samples when we re-land on the outlying islands.

Among the Japanese prisoners we captured afterwards, they were not aware of the existence of the relevant weapons, perhaps this was a secret weapon studied by the Japanese army.

This is one of the doubts in the Battle of the Outlying Islands.

The further back he looked, the more information appeared in Jefferson's eyes, but these were more of the analytical opinions of scientists, who were puzzled by the enemies on the island.

When we get to page 19, a photo of Jamie and Fei Xiaotong appears in the information.

The two of them are on top of a cliff, this cliff is 100 meters high, it can't reach the sky, it can't touch the ground, and Jamie and Fei Xiaotong are waiting for others to rescue.

As can be seen in the photo, Jamie's left hand was broken at that time, and the wound was very neat, apparently cut off with a saber, and the bones can still be seen.

But strangely, Jamie's left hand did not take measures to stop the bleeding, he did not even bandage it, and the broken wound was exposed, but the bleeding stopped.

Below the photo is also the analysis text, which is summarized from many parties:

Rescuers found the only two survivors of the landing force, Colonel Fei Xiaotong and Captain Jamie, but they were in the position of a cliff.

There were no ropes on the cliff, and there were no other auxiliary facilities, so it was impossible to understand how the two of them got there, not to mention that there was a seriously injured person inside.

Captain Jamie's left hand was cut off, and he later described it as his own hand, but he couldn't remember why.

The cliff was dangerous, and the rescue effort took six hours, but Captain Jamie was in good spirits, he did not suffer from heavy bleeding, did not even need much medical attention afterwards, and did not have an infection in his severed arm.

The biggest suspicion of this battle is that both of them have amnesia.

They only remember going to the beachhead, setting up positions, but everything that happened behind them cannot be remembered.

When we learned about the enemy from them, the two men were terrified, they did not know the enemy, but they were strongly stimulated, and this symptom lasted in them for three years......

On the last page, there is the rifle, and the photo of the Type 97 assault gun is indeed in it, and it appeared in front of the world seventy years earlier.

Jefferson slowly closed the file, and right next to the case file was his voice recorder, which was Jamie's own description.

He said he remembered it more than 70 years later, because he watched those two videos.

The enemy is an alien, the kind of bug on Mars, and there is only one.

Jefferson's heart was surging, and he sneered in his heart: Is it just a bug, only one, and it actually wiped out our landing force of thousands of people? Isn't that ridiculous?

Didn't those aliens attack us? Could it be that when our elite American soldiers are chickens?

Jefferson thought of the original intention of the group, of the spirit of the contact meeting, of his own situation.

Jefferson is not yet fifty years old, so it can be said that he is in the prime of life, and he still has a lot of room for improvement.

This group is directly accountable to the Liaison Meeting, and it is an opportunity.

As long as you catch those aliens and crack this secret, you will be able to achieve remarkable results, and a step forward is just around the corner.

Jamie? He is old, nearly a hundred years old, his memories are definitely very unreliable, maybe he is Alzheimer's and his thinking is confused.

He said that he watched the things in the movies, did he take them seriously?

As for Parker? It's just a nerd, he studies too many things, and he makes himself stupid.

They must not be allowed to stand in the way of their own promotion, the duty of a soldier is war, and without an enemy, how can we still have the need to exist?

If there are no enemies, let's make one!

Jefferson slipped the recorder back in his pocket and strode out of the archives.
