Chapter 170: Enter the base
"Please rest assured, the commander-in-chief, he will urge his subordinates to complete the "zeroing" jihua before sunset tomorrow! In the main control room of the mysterious base, Rebel Major General Raymond said respectfully to a five-star general on the holographic communication screen.
"I hope you don't live up to my expectations, Major General!" The white-haired and bearded admiral said coldly and cut off the communication.
After the image of the admiral completely disappeared, Raymond let out a long breath, raised his hand to wipe the fine sweat that oozed from the corner of his forehead, and scolded in a low voice: "Damn, fortunately, the commander-in-chief doesn't know what's going on here, otherwise Lao Tzu will be in big trouble!" As he spoke, the major general remembered that Andrei's special operations squadron had been sent out for nearly half an hour, so he wanted to contact Andrei to inquire about the progress.
At this moment, a captain hurriedly walked in, saluted Raymond and reported: "General, outside the base, a sergeant in charge of the defense of Taniguchi sent a few radar soldiers, saying that he was holding a few captured enemy prisoners!" ”
"Oh? Is there such a thing? Raymond frowned and wondered, quickly walked to the console, reached out and clicked on a monitor, and the screen of the monitor at the entrance of the base was revealed.
A light off-road locomotive was crammed with several radar soldiers looking around, three marines in blue armor, and a sergeant in Sharon Army Marine armor was rubbing his hands at the monitor with an anxious face.
"This is a captive of the Union Army?" Raymond's eyes widened, and he pointed to the three Marines in the car, and asked the captain in some disbelief. The captain shrugged his shoulders and shook his head helplessly, indicating that he was not sure. It can be seen from the picture in the monitor that the three marines with their masks open do not have the slightest expression on their faces that should be of a captive, such as panic, fear, loneliness or depression, and they do not look like three prisoners of war who have fallen into the hands of the enemy, but everyone looks at each other excitedly.
"Let them in!" Raymond frowned for a moment, then waved his hand to the captain.
"Yes, General!" The captain saluted and was about to turn to go out, but was stopped by Raymond.
"Wait!" Raymond stroked his goatee and stared at the screen of the monitor for a moment, as if he had decided something, and waved to the captain and ordered, "You take them to the weapons warehouse in Sector C!" Also, let De Rossi and Harry of the Mech Squad take their mechs there first! ”
"Mecha Squad? General, do you need to be so cautious? Aren't there still a few Marine squads in the base? Although they are not as good as Antrich's special operations squadron, they should be more than enough to deal with a few minions! For the suspicious Raymond, although the captain had already guessed his concerns, he still felt a little overly cautious about Raymond's deployment.
"Isn't there an old saying, be careful to sail a ship that is ten thousand years old?" Raymond pointed to the three Marines on the screen and explained to the captain, "Can we run around in our densely fortified area and still have the ability to eliminate patrols of different sizes and equipment, do you think this is an ordinary Marine?" ”
"General, you mean?" The captain said in a trance: "They are most likely the enemy's special combat team?" Seeing Raymond nodded, the captain hurriedly looked grim and said, "I understand the general, my subordinates will arrange it!" ”
After the captain was out, Raymond looked back at the three Marines on the screen, but his eyes were soon drawn to a radarman sitting in the passenger seat, restlessly with his legs restless on the windshield, a rifle in his hand, and what seemed to be humming something in his mouth.
"Huh!" Looking at the radar soldier's somewhat arrogant expression, a strange feeling suddenly surged through Raymond's heart.
※※※ "Hey, dude, can you do it?" Isn't the janitor there lazy and dozing off? Outside the entrance to this mysterious base, Hao Yi, who was sitting on an off-road motorcycle, whistled and shouted at the sergeant.
The sergeant was glancing hard at a hidden compartment peeking out of the cliff face. The dark grid was a glowing blue electronic touch screen used by outsiders to communicate with personnel within the base.
"What are you yelling about? Do you want to take the captives to claim the reward? Hearing Hao Yi's shout, the sergeant glared back at Hao Yi and scolded, "Do you want Lao Tzu to send you all back?" ”
"Uh, don't, big brother! Hehe, aren't you waiting a little anxious, brothers! Then you continue, continue to haha......" Seeing that the sergeant was a little displeased, Haoyi hurriedly said with a hippie smile.
A few minutes ago, the sergeant drove a flea cart and took Haoyi and others to this seemingly empty cliff and said, the base has arrived. At that time, Haoyi and a few people were blinded, except for the smooth sandy ground and the somewhat uneven cliff wall, there were not even stone crevices to be seen.
However, thinking of the previous time at the entrance of the valley, the sergeant drove this flea cart out of a small dirt bag, and Hao Yi and the others gradually felt relieved. Obviously, the base mentioned by the sergeant was either hidden behind the cliff or hidden under the feet of Haoyi and others. After that, the sergeant's actions confirmed Haoyi's conjecture.
"Are these dogs all ground rats? So like to build a nest underground? Hao Yi remembered that when he was in Solomi, he was almost trapped in the rebels' underground base, and pouted and complained.
At that time, due to the rapid development of low-earth aerial firepower and extra-space orbital firepower, it was difficult for any strong fortified facility on the ground to withstand a powerful aerial firepower. Therefore, generally the more important bases or facilities will be built underground, so as to resist the enemy's powerful aerial fire with the help of various surface rock layers whose defense is comparable to the steel plate of high-grade ships. This was originally general military common sense, but for a big-headed soldier like Hao Yi, who had some big nerves, it was of course a little difficult to understand.
Between Hao Yi and the sergeant, suddenly there was a rumbling sound from the ground, and then, on the cliff opposite Hao Yi and the others, a big crack suddenly opened. Under the yellow-brown rock layer, a square entrance five or six meters square has opened, and inside is a deep steel passage that shimmers with various colors.
"Uncle, move the stinky feet away!" The sergeant was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly jumped back into the driver's seat of the locomotive, smashed Haoyi's big feet away with one punch, and the engine car rushed into the passage with a somewhat stunned crowd.
"Boy, this passage is even more advanced than the last time I saw it at Solomy! Hao, uh, what a spectacle! Looking at the dazzling array of glowing lines on the wall of the steel passage and the various automatic defense facilities and secret mouths, Hu Erfat was dizzying and admired, just wanted to greet Hao Yi, and suddenly remembered that his brother Hao was now playing the enemy radar soldier, and quickly changed his words with a hum.
"Solomy? Which place? The sergeant, who was driving, casually asked.
"That's a place where birds don't!" Haoyi explained very casually.
"Huh? You've been with them too? The sergeant was a little surprised, pointed at Hu Erfat, glanced at Hao Yi out of the corner of his eye, and asked.
"Uh, no, no, Boss, we just chatted with them on the road!" Haoyi's heart jumped, and he quickly explained with a smile.
"Oh? Are you still chatting with the captives? Hehe, it's really humane! The sergeant didn't seem to care too much, smiled and continued to concentrate on driving the flea cart.
This small episode frightened Haoyi's heartbeat several times faster, and while secretly taking a long breath, he secretly wiped the cold sweat that oozed slightly from the corner of his forehead, and turned his head and glared at Hu Erpang. The foodie, knowing that he was almost in trouble, kept his mouth shut tightly, and turned his head pretending to admire the colorful things on the walls of the passage.
The flea cart drove down the aisle for a moment before it came across a fork in the road, where a captain with two heavily armed Marines and two flea carts were parked.
"Sir!" Seeing this, the sergeant quickly stopped the locomotive, jumped down and saluted the captain. Haoyi and the others also hurriedly followed, pretending to push Hu Erpang and the three of them out of the car, holding a rifle in one hand, and saluting the captain unevenly with one hand.
"These are the captives?" The captain nodded coldly, glanced at Hu Erfat and the three people wearing the Marine armor of the Federal Army, and asked the sergeant.
"Yes, sir!" The sergeant replied respectfully.
"Alright, you go back! They'll be handed over to me! The captain gave an order to the sergeant, then turned around and waved his hand to the two marines behind him, and said to Haoyi's three radar soldiers: "Put them in the car, you three radar soldiers go with us, the general wants to see you!" ”
"Yes, sir!" Haoyi hurriedly agreed with a happy face. Before, he was worried that the captain would let the three radar soldiers follow the sergeant back, and he originally thought of a set of arguments like wanting to receive a reward. What he didn't expect was that the captain didn't even ask, and let them go in.
At that moment, the captain took the two marines to escort Haoyi and the six people, divided into two flea cars, and turned into another passage. After about a few more minutes, everyone came to a steel gate more than ten meters high. The captain jumped out of the locomotive, walked over to an electronic lock next to the gate, and crackled as the steel gears meshed and opened.
"Smack, smack!" As the door opened, there were several sounds of lighting tubes turning on behind the door, and a huge space was presented in front of Haoyi and others. In a space about the size of a football field, regular square iron boxes were faintly piled up everywhere, some spike gun spare parts were scattered between the boxes, and several individual missile launchers. Obviously, this is an ammunition depot. However, for some reason, the lighting system in the ammunition depot, which should have been abundant, was now only turned on two or three, and it could only illuminate an open space about the size of a basketball court in the center, and the four corners of the ammunition depot were still hidden in the shadow of Hesse.
"Let's go, the general is waiting for you!" The captain looked back and said hello, and then led the way into the ammunition depot. Seeing this, Haoyi and the others hurriedly stumbled out of the car and shook in. As soon as they entered the ammunition depot, the steel gate behind them rumbled shut. Haoyi's heart skipped a beat, and there seemed to be a hint of unhappiness, but he still involuntarily followed the captain on his feet and walked towards the light in the center of the ammunition depot.
"Let me see, who the hell is it? Dare to be arrogant and presumptuous in my defense zone! When he was about to reach the light, a somewhat old voice suddenly sounded in the ears of Hao Yi and the others.
