Chapter 200. spring
The temperature has gradually risen, and a trickle has spread throughout the mountains, and the snow that once reached the calf has slowly melted, and it has become a stream, and then it merges together to form a small river, and finally because it gathers to form a large river, until it flows into the vast Pacific Ocean.
The three-month-long winter in British Columbia, Canada, has dissipated with the spring breeze in April, and only the thick snow layer in the shadows is still telling the cruelty of the winter in the past. However, in the place of the rising sun, on the sensitive treetops, a little green has also appeared in this mountainous area, as if adding a little new vitality, bringing recovery and hope belonging to spring.
The same is true of the mountains near the base of the cave, where the shrubs and woods that have been deliberately preserved have become a little green, and with the bunkers that are deliberately covered with camouflage nets, they form a scene like the beginning of spring. Although it does not have the usual fragrance of birds and flowers in summer, the faint fresh smell of the wind still proves the retreat of winter.
This is a hopeful sight, and the marines, who have been busy for nearly a month, can't help but stop the tasks they are still busy with, and take advantage of the rest time to come to the outside of the cave to feel the freshness of this spring. Even Liszt couldn't help but come outside the base and enjoy a quiet moment with the group of boys.
However, they all spontaneously did not stay for too long, and returned to the cave base in less than ten minutes. It was just a little nostalgia for spring, a little pastime in the midst of their busy expansion missions, a near-close threat to the Soviets. But it still makes them quite vigilant. This is also the persecutive motivation for them to fight for.
The surface part of the earth, where the amount of work is smaller, has been completed ahead of schedule. There are a total of nine buried permanent defensive bunkers, which are now also around the entrance and exit of the cave base, consisting of the outer four and the inner four defensive bunkers, which are firmly guarded by a general around the perimeter, and each bunker can also be supported by fire from the left and right sides and the rear.
Now inside each bunker, there are also two Marines stationed on guard, and if something unusual is really found, with the emergency electric bell ringing. The marines who are on standby inside the cave base can also directly use the secret passage four meters below to replenish all the soldiers in the nine pillboxes to ten people at any time, and control the two heavy machine guns inside to launch a deadly firepower pour on any enemy who dares to easily set foot in this area!
Even the six Type 92 infantry guns are set up in the mountain pit where the cave base is located, and the firing range can cover all the hills around the cave base to the foot of the mountain. If you calculate according to the extreme range and angle, shoot in the mode of a mortar, even the narrow strip between the hills. It can be used to measure and adjust the elements in advance, and unfold the artillery fire coverage.
These weapons and equipment. Together with the matching ammunition, it has already consumed close to 200,000 points for Liszt. However, as a standard defensive fortress, Liszt's cave base is still relatively rudimentary. He had no heavy artillery, lacked an effective counterattack against the enemy's covering fire, and also lacked air defense means, and now for Liszt, the only means of air defense was only the "Javelin" portable anti-aircraft missile, which could only cope with the enemy's helicopters flying at extremely low altitudes.
But this may also be an opportunity, when Liszt's cave base is basically completed, in the complex mountains of the Rocky Mountains, it is like a steel nail smashed here, and it is covered with steel thorns. After all, this complex terrain makes it impossible for the enemy to deploy heavy armored forces, except for a small number of light armored forces, plus helicopters of the aviation regiment, and mountain troops with only a small number of heavy weapons, the enemy simply cannot deploy many troops.
Even if it is an attack on the cave base, all the troops will pour into the troops from all directions, and all the personnel will be at most a battalion, and if there are more, then it will only be to deliver food to all the soldiers in the cave base. The complex mountainous area is not a gentle plain, with undulating hills and steep hills, and even cliffs with a drop of more than ten or twenty meters, it is simply impossible to march and attack, even if there is sufficient fire support.
Now, most of the young men of the Marine Corps have also returned to the interior of the cave base and started to renovate and build the interior. In particular, the transformation of combat readiness is now the top priority. As a Liszt who has lived in this world for more than 20 years, he has a deep understanding of some battlefield drills in this world.
Once the enemy's attack is frustrated, or even if the attack is delayed for too long, he will not hesitate to use some poison gas with lethal effects, or even chemical weapons. Even when certain extremes appeared, it was not impossible to use the miniaturized nuclear bomb of this world, and those guys did it completely, and they dared to do it when they were provoked.
Of course, this was also the most extreme case, and Liszt also discussed this issue with Soviet experts who were willing to cooperate, but in the end he came to the conclusion that the use of nuclear bombs was less likely. After all, he is only a small-scale special forces, and he is still fighting on the soil of Canadians, and it is impossible for anyone to use a nuclear bomb with long-term radiation because of a small problem, even if the military governor is willing, the politicians in charge of approval behind him will definitely not agree.
However, the construction tasks of anti-gas and anti-biological and chemical weapons have also been issued under the condition of careful renovation plans and finalized drawings after transformation. In particular, the ventilation vents and tunnels that have been renovated have allowed this group of Marines to work in shifts day and night to ensure that all the works are completed in the shortest possible time.
Everyone already had a sense of urgency, because as the weather gradually improved, the thick layer of snow that originally covered the Rocky Mountains had finally revealed its brown color, and even when patches of green vegetation had appeared, the threat from all directions was already like a hidden jackal, slowly barking its fangs at them, ready to pounce on them, turning them into delicious meat and devouring them raw.
PS: There is less than a month left, the baby is about to be born, there are too many things, I didn't update yesterday, sorry. But I'm trying to do it twice a day. The world war is about to begin, and I hope to surprise everyone, and experimental versions of various post-war technologies will also appear. (To be continued.) )
