One Thousand and Sixty-Seven

After listening to Qi Yue's report, the brigadier general was stunned for a moment, and changed his previous gestures and spoke slowly in a very serious manner.

Qi Yue translated: "Division Commander, he asked you if you participated in the Morrobida underground battle."

Those who are familiar with the Morrobida battle know that this battle is divided into two parts: the ground and the underground. The main goal of the ground battle is to encircle and suppress the giant insects, while the underground battle takes place in the caves dug by aliens. Its purpose is to find the aliens hidden underground and cut off the mastermind behind the manipulation of the insect swarm.

However, these two battles ended in failure. The coalition forces did not do anything to the ground insect swarms, nor did they find the hidden aliens. Instead, they suffered heavy losses. To this day, Africa is still controlled by the insect swarms controlled by aliens.

Ye Han nodded: "I am one of the survivors who escaped from the cave."

After listening to the translation, the brigadier general suddenly said something in a hurried tone, and Qi Yue's expression suddenly became very strange: "Division Commander, he said that his brother disappeared in the Battle of Morrobida, and he wants to know if his brother has any chance of survival."

Ye Han's face twitched: "Tell him that I sympathize with his experience, but the nightmare I experienced told me that no one can survive in the alien cave for so many years."

Unless they are transformed into human insects by aliens!

Ye Han thought so in his heart, but he would never say it out loud.

The brigadier general said a few words in disappointment, and Qi Yue translated: "He said that he was very grateful for your frankness, but he still insisted that he should not go deeper, and it is best to leave this ghost place as soon as possible."

Everyone knew that the brigadier general was not referring to this ice cave, but to leaving the cave and finally leaving Ganymede.

"I think so too." Ye Han said and raised his head, "It would be great if I could know what is going on above."

That's what he said, but Ye Han had made a decision in his heart and immediately ordered the troops to move forward and leave the ice cave as soon as possible.

In addition to the passage leading to the ice cave, there are two other passages, one up and one down.

Ye Han chose the passage leading up without hesitation and led his troops into it.

He didn't know where this passage led to, but he knew that it was more likely to return to the ground by going up.

Before leaving the ice cave, Ye Han did not forget to leave a nuclear mine - the environment in the ice cave was not suitable for laying mines. In order to make the nuclear mine play its due role, Ye Han placed the mine under the body of the alien noble, making it the first nuclear mine in human history. If the pursuers chased them to the ice cave, this nuclear bomb would definitely be enough to give them a good drink.

Luo Qi and Ouyang Ping, who were familiar with Ye Han, had already vaguely felt that Ye Han had given up the idea of ​​returning to the shaft by the original route, otherwise he would not have placed nuclear mines on the way here.

They both had some confidence at first, but at this point, even the firmest confidence had to be shaken by reality.

The troops only brought three days of supplies, and most of the ammunition was consumed. If they continued to wander in the enemy's nest, the consequences would be unpredictable.

How could Ye Han not know this? He had already regretted that he should not have rashly entered the enemy's nest.

However, there is always a way out. He already had an idea in his mind, that is, to take a detour back to the shaft.

At first glance, this idea is simply whimsical, but from the map that has been obtained, it can be seen that the shaft is the core of the entire alien base, and all the passages are built around the shaft. To use the Italian saying, all the tunnels lead to the shaft, but there are too many tunnels and they are too complicated, and there are aliens chasing and blocking, and I don’t know which one is the correct way back to the shaft.

However, although Ye Han didn’t know the way, he knew the general direction of the shaft. As long as he tried to choose the passage in the direction of the shaft when moving, it should not be difficult to return to the shaft.

After leaving the ice cave, the troops advanced along the passage built under the ice, passed through several small ice caves one after another, and had several exchanges of fire with the defenders along the way, but the enemy’s defense in this direction was obviously lower than that around the shaft, and the scale of the battle was not large.

The troops quickly broke the enemy’s blockade, wiped out the enemy, and continued to advance.

Ye Han carefully recorded every fork in the road on the map, not only the location of the fork, but also the direction of the fork. If the fork led to the shaft, he would order the troops to turn without hesitation.

It was a pity that the passage dug by the aliens was not straight, otherwise Ye Han would have led the troops back to the shaft.

Although the team had to go around in the tunnel, they always moved forward to the shaft unswervingly. After more than an hour, the distance between the troops and the shaft had been shortened by half, and the position had risen from more than ten kilometers underground to about ten kilometers.

No matter how you look at it, the situation is getting better, and everyone's mind is much more relaxed than not long ago.

Just when everything was moving in a direction that was beneficial to humans, the mechanical spider once again discovered the enemy, and this wave of enemy troops was different. Although they were still mainly servants, there were a large number of short alien nobles in the team.

What's even more strange is that this army seemed to have just arrived and didn't even have time to set up shelters.

Luo Qi couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw this scene: "What's going on? Alien guards?"

"Who cares what they are? Just attack them!" Ye Han said without hesitation.

He was talking without any hesitation because he and the Italians had reached an agreement to take turns to fight. The last time they encountered the enemy, Luo Qi led his men to defeat them. This time, it was the Italians' turn.

Even though the Italians were leading the charge, Luo Qi did not give up his pre-war preparations: "It looks like it's not going to be easy to fight... Ouyang, do you have any missiles left?"

Ouyang Ping sighed: "You've already used up all the conventional ones, and the rest are all nuclear missiles, do you want to use them?"

"Isn't that nonsense!" Luo Qi said in a frustrated tone.

Ye Han said: "This passage is straight, so let the snipers give the Italians some repulsion." This enemy army is different, and he feels more at ease with an extra insurance.

The brigadier general also found that something was not right, but the agreement had been made long ago, and he really couldn't regret it at this time.

The brigadier general conducted a brief and enthusiastic pre-war mobilization on the radio, and while the enemy's bunkers were not yet set up, the Italians seized the opportunity to launch an attack.

Because they were not sure about the combat effectiveness of the alien nobles, the Italians did not dare to approach rashly, but kept a certain distance and conducted a firepower reconnaissance first.

This was not the first time that the Italians had fought against aliens, and they knew the combat effectiveness of aliens very well. From the brigadier general to the ordinary soldiers, no one thought that this battle could not be won.

As a result, as soon as the Italians opened fire, the aliens immediately hid and launched a counterattack. The speed of the counterattack was unprecedented, and the accuracy of the mercerization was much better than before.
