It has not been long since they left the volcano base to carry out the mission, and from what is known so far, the losses on their side are indeed very large. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoEven Major Barron's own team was under attack, and was overwhelmed by heavy machine guns. Then supplemented by sniper rifles and portable artillery, the enemy's firepower is very fierce, comparable to the professional firepower team here at the volcano base. And the weapons and ammunition used are all produced by the empire itself, and everyone can only smile helplessly when they hide behind various bunkers.

Now there are only about twenty people in this joint team, and before the two teams converge, they all have different degrees of losses from each other. This is the case with the teams that can still be contacted now, and most of them have encountered each other with the enemy. In addition to the small casualties of the firepower-focused team, a group of experienced and self-qualified veterans also felt tremendous pressure in the face of an attack by an enemy composed entirely of surgeons.

"It's a big problem that the Volcano Base can't be contacted. Colonel Barron sat down on the snow to rest, and the captain sat beside him, and the two were chatting about the aftermath of the mission.

"I already know the purpose of the enemy's coming, and I have roughly guessed where the enemy's airship is parked. Originally, as long as these things were determined in the next few days, the task would have been completed. But the communication machine was completely ineffective, nothing could be sent, not even deadly supplies. There was not much food in the backpack anymore, and it was snowing so heavily that the animals in the mountains and forests all hid as if they had agreed with it. Since the snow, not even a single bird has been seen. The snow can't stop, and I'll really have to think of a way to eat it in the future. The captain looked sad, of course, this was for the ordinary soldiers behind him, he and the captain had already subconsciously saved their food. With just the basic amount of water and the high-energy fats stored in the body, they can sustain themselves for about two weeks. But those ordinary soldiers can't do it, if they are hungry for a long time, their combat effectiveness will immediately decrease.

"The location of all the teams has been shared, and the next teams will be combined in pairs, and then the strength can be stacked and enhanced, and it will be much safer to move forward in the mountains. This was the only piece of news that reassured the two.

"The next thing on the mission is the point, and then it will get even more difficult. ”

"Yes, after all, I'm going to the original Snow Peak Base. Moving forward in the snow, even if the two of us open the way, the speed of progress will still not become very fast. It would probably take at least three days to reach the periphery of Snow Peak, and at that point you would have to stop and recuperate, just in time for the other teams to converge. The captain said the best-case scenario.

"But the process certainly won't be like that. Even if the enemy's airship didn't stop at the Snow Peak base, it was definitely nearby. At that time, the chance of encountering the enemy will become very high, and the enemy will always have supplies behind him, and once we do, our side will only suffer. If the fight really starts, it is estimated that less than one-tenth of these people will make it back alive. ”

"Or less, no more. The captain smiled mockingly, and reached out to wipe the snow from his face.

The major nodded slightly, and the snow peak in the distance was blurry under the falling snow, and he looked at it without speaking, and was silent for a long time. The captain closed his eyes and rested silently.

"Actually, I have a bad delusion. The captain opened his mouth with his eyes closed, and the major stared straight ahead without looking.

"What delusion?" asked Major Barron.

"I think, just my opinion. The captain emphasized, "Those high-ranking people at the Volcano Base should know about these things in the Far Sea Commonwealth, after all, the two huge forces have planted a large number of spies and agents in each other's countries, and some of them have been cultivated a long time ago." In terms of blood and race, some of them are completely from the Far Sea Commonwealth. This time, they already know the origin of these surgeons who are wandering around the base. And the signal has been jamming for so long, but there has been no response from the base、、、"

"Does history repeat itself?" Colonel Barron understood the captain's words, and then said to himself, "I signed an agreement with the Empire to stay in the intensive training camp for nearly a year and a half. Later, because of his good performance, he had excellent grades and an easy-going personality, and he was not infected by the smoke of gunpowder. After the training, he was not immediately assigned to various front bases or military districts, but entered the professional school of the Imperial Army, where he became a surgeon. Then he came to the base of the volcano and stayed until now. When that senior officer at the volcano base had an accident, I was just like you, just a captain. Although it was a big incident, it was only a few years ago, so who else remembers it?"

"We are all affected by the environment, and it is not easy to climb to that position, and if there is a slight directional error in the middle, you may have to get down from your current position immediately, and you will lose something. Like me, if you want to move up the ranks, strength is an important aspect, but it's not the main thing anymore, it can only be said to be one of the main ones. I've probably come to the end of my journey. Not much older than you, but seeing more things than you. Major Barron lamented, "There aren't many high-ranking officials like that, and the empire isn't as rotten as you think." It's just that every time something like this happens, it causes a small sensation, and the ears hear a lot from time to time. ”

"It's not going to happen anymore. Even if there was anything there, it was just an enemy airship and a bunch of old machines. As for the connection with the base, it should be due to other reasons. What might be going on inside the front band, so that they don't have time to take care of us. ”

"Maybe it's just me thinking. The captain smiled dryly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Glancing at the time, it was almost time, and the major got up from the snow, patted the snow behind him, and picked up the bulky equipment again.

"Let's go, no matter what happens to the base, we have to go to Snow Peak. In order not to destroy the enemy, it is necessary to find out whether the enemy's airship is there. At that time, if you find a way to pass the news to the base, those few airships with heavy cruiser-class airships that have been maintained can come in handy. I've been at the base of the volcano for so long, and I've only seen a heavy patrol lift off on a mission. Thinking of the shocking scene of the lifting device being powered and the windproof diversion wall around the airport rising, I really wanted to go and one day go and ride a heavy patrol ship full of firepower to see what the scene of dozens of main guns firing in a salvo was like. The Major said this, and an invisible burning sensation rose all over his body.
