One Thousand and Fifty-Three Soldiers Go Deep

The other two soldiers also died on the spot like Cao Libin. Except for Ye Han, there was only the last soldier guarding the main cave, and that soldier had been seriously injured and fell to the ground.

Ye Han almost lost his mind and reached out to touch the rocket launcher behind his back... This rocket contained a super-caliber ammunition with an equivalent of twelve tons.

The enemy was about to rush through 508. At the critical moment, a dense rain of bullets flew out of the cave, cutting off the enemy's charging team.

Then two machine gunners scrambled out of the hole, then two more, and then a group of soldiers poured out of the hole, machine guns, rifles, submachine guns, bullets, bombs, grenades...

The troops who rushed out of 508 fought back against the charging aliens with intensive firepower, regardless of the cost. They suppressed the aliens forcefully and launched a beautiful counterattack.

The tragic casualties made all the officers and soldiers red-eyed, chasing the enemy with reckless abandon.

Luo Qi didn't see Ye Han after rushing out of 508, and his eyes suddenly turned red: "Teacher, Commander..."

"Stop shouting, I'm not dead yet." Ye Han sat on the ground and waved, "How is the situation?"

Luo Qi said: "annihilate all the enemy troops. We sacrificed two people. All the brothers in 508 died... Commander, it's all my fault. If I had left a few more people..."

"Shut up!" Ye Han was furious, but in the end he just sighed, "Go ahead and do what you have to do, the battle is not over yet."

"Yes!" Luo Qi turned around and left. While continuing to command the team, he called all the soldiers from the guard camp back to protect Ye Han.

Ye Han didn't refuse. Anyway, there were enough troops at the front, including these few people. More importantly, he didn't want to die.

Luo Qi led his troops to rush forward and fight fiercely, dividing his troops along the way to rescue all the troops trapped in the branch cave. He did not report the situation to Ye Han until he killed all the enemies.

This is the first time that one's own troops have penetrated so deep. Ye Han couldn't help but curiously asked: "What's going on inside?"

Luo Qi said: "It's nothing. It's still a hole. I don't know where it leads."

"Have you released the drone?" Ye Han asked.

"Let it go, there's no news yet."

Ye Han nodded: "Have you checked all the holes?"

"I've checked." Luo Qi's mood was very low. "There is no way to get through."

Ye Han couldn't help but sigh: "How many people are there now?"

"A little more than four platoons, about a hundred people."

"Then keep walking in, it's better than being stuck here."

"Why don't you wait?" Luo Qi suggested cautiously, "If we can't be found outside, we can definitely find a way."

Ye Han hesitated for a moment, but finally made up his mind: "I finally defeated all the enemies. I won't be willing to go in and have a look."

"Is it appropriate?" Luo Qi asked worriedly.

Ye Han smiled: "Are you worried that we will fall into this again? Are you afraid of death?"

"Of course I'm afraid, who wouldn't be afraid?" Luo Qi admitted frankly.

"It should be fine. I don't intend to fight with people outside. I just want to go in and see what's going on." Ye Han said, "We have knocked down the No. 5 passage. If someone from outside comes in, we can definitely follow them all the way. When the time comes, let’s put all the drones out and pull them back as soon as we find any danger.”

"Yes, then I will assemble the troops immediately!"

"No rush." ​​Ye Han waved his hand, "You make arrangements first and let the soldiers collect supplies. The focus is on weapons and ammunition, oxygen bottles, batteries and supplies. Nuclear missiles and nuclear landmines must be mastered. You understand me. What do you mean?"

"Understand."

"Go ahead."

Luo Qi immediately passed on the order. Except for one platoon left deep into the main cave to establish a defense line, the others dispersed and wandered around the cave to collect supplies.

It is said that it is collecting materials, but in fact it is collecting materials from the sacrificed personnel.

There are more than twenty branch holes connected to the No. 5 passage. Nearly a battalion of troops from the Third Regiment entered here. Many more soldiers died in battle than survived. After a while, the collected supplies were piled up. There are more than a dozen individual nuclear missiles and even more nuclear landmines in the mountains.

There are more than forty in total.

Ye Han asked the soldiers to bring enough ammunition and carry other supplies appropriately without affecting their actions.

After learning that the troops were about to enter the depths of the cave, everyone brought as much ammunition as possible. Some people also brought an extra rifle as a backup weapon. Oxygen bottles and batteries were also top priorities. Missiles with the prefix nuclear and mines were simply ignored.

After the troops were reorganized, each person carried at least two armored backpacks, and some even carried three or four, maximizing the stacking function of the armored backpacks.

Ye Han finally put a stop to this practice. He asked Luo Qi to arrange a group of people to serve as a baggage unit to transport excess weapons and ammunition, freeing others to carry only a backpack to facilitate movement and combat.

In this way, it does not affect combat operations and can carry supplies, which is the best of both worlds.

Everything was ready, and the troops marched deeper into Channel 5.

The part connecting Channel 5 and the branch tunnel is relatively straight, but it becomes different after this section. The spacious channel has turns everywhere, but there are no forks.

After advancing for at least one kilometer along the downward passage, the vanguard suddenly reported that the cave in front had collapsed, but there was a temporary passage dug by aliens among the collapsed rubble.

After receiving the news, Ye Han immediately rushed to the front of the team.

The tunnel did collapse badly, but on the cave wall on one side of the collapse point, a new cave opened diagonally downward, only three meters high and two meters wide, much narrower than the branch cave, and the traces of excavation were very obvious.

Luo Qi hesitated: "Commander, are you going in?"

"Why not?" Ye Han asked back, "Did the drone go in?"

"Yes."

"What's going on inside?"

"There's another tunnel below, it seems to be No. 7." Luo Qi said.

"What do you mean by seems?" Ye Han asked dissatisfiedly.

"From the map, it should be, but this temporary tunnel is full of bends, I can't guarantee it." Luo Qi said.

The trouble with too many bends is that the signal transmission is not good. A spider must be placed every certain distance to transmit the signal, and the first batch of spiders were all consumed in the relay. "

"Are there any enemies?"

"Nothing has been found yet, but I think there are a lot of outsiders in the No. 5 tunnel. It is very likely that after this tunnel was dug through, the enemies in the No. 7 tunnel ran here. "

"Then put all the mechanical spiders in and see what happens first! "

"Yes!"

Another batch of mechanical spiders were put into the cave, and soon a large amount of video data was transmitted back.

After summarizing the data, Luo Qi said: "Division Commander, the main cave of Channel No. 7 has collapsed, and it is impossible to get out. The situation in the opposite direction is similar to Channel No. 5..."

"It collapsed too?"

"No."

"Then transfer all the spiders over, and the troops follow, and figure out the situation as soon as possible!"

"Yes!" Luo Qi agreed, turned around and waved his arms: "The scouts set off, and the others follow!"
