From the "Shadow", on the way to the base command center, Yang Yi and others felt more profoundly.
There are many officers and soldiers in the garrison, but most of them are injured, and many lightly wounded are fighting with injuries. But this is a matter of no choice. Prometheus has been blocked by the Simei Alliance fleet and the base has been surrounded. Surrendering will only make the death even more miserable. There is nowhere to escape, the only thing you can do is to continue fighting with a glimmer of hope. Obviously, the morale of the officers and soldiers was very low.
It is not that the officers and soldiers are afraid of death, but that they do not have suitable weapons.
Along the way, Yang Yi has been paying attention to observation. The main weapon of the garrison officers and soldiers is the electromagnetic gun, and the ammunition distributed to the soldiers is mainly ordinary bullets. Not to mention the limited power of electromagnetic guns, even using armor-piercing bullets may not be able to kill strong enemies, using ordinary bullets is even more powerless. As for the heavy weapons that can kill the enemy, apart from the few heavy tanks, there are only a few small-caliber cannons mounted on air-cushion vehicles, and the ammunition is extremely scarce. The garrison's ability to persevere depends not on the weapons and fearless will to fight, but on the energy barrier that covers the base, and the ecological maintenance system that has been operating and driven by primordial energy.
The temperature in the base is very low, about minus fifty degrees Celsius.
Not to mention Silicon Charm warriors, even human warriors can hardly move normally in such a cold environment, but no one complains, because the severe cold temperature has a greater impact on the enemy. Even if this effect only slows down the enemy's speed of action, it is of great significance.
Can this battle go on
Under the leadership of the officers who came to respond, everyone came to the command center and saw the base commander, Colonel Carl, a genuine iron-blooded soldier.
Colonel Carl is nearly three meters tall and has a typical Saxon appearance. He is extremely burly, and he knows how powerful he is at first glance. At the first sight of the colonel, Yang Yi saw that he had a tenth-level original body, but because he didn't have a suitable original energy converter, he was only an eighth-level soldier. Even so, he is still the strongest presence in the base. In addition, the deep bone scar on his face shows that he has a wealth of practical experience.
Iron-blooded soldiers like him are rare in peacetime.
In Yang Yi’s memory, only Colonel Luo Changkong, who was in post 914, was such an iron-blooded soldier. Those soldiers who had stayed behind all their lives and sat in the office facing documents all day, and those who had been stationed on the front for a long time, were always facing There is a fundamental difference between soldiers threatened with death.
"You have seen the situation here, so I won't say more." Colonel Carl was very direct. When he said this, he glanced at Yang Yi and others. "Who is the commander?"
Lin Feng stood up without letting Yang Yi come out.
"you… "
"Lin Feng, the captain of the third theater special reconnaissance team."
Colonel Carl was taken aback for a moment, and then looked at Lin Feng seriously.
Obviously, he knew Lin Feng, at least he had heard of Lin Feng, he knew that there was such a colonel in the third theater, and he also knew that Lin Feng was Lin Xiaoting's granddaughter and the current pilot of the "Agni Phoenix". However, his eyes showed that he did not expect Lin Feng to be so young.
"This is Colonel Shen Chengwen, the squadron captain of the strategic squadron, and the strongest member of the special investigation team."
Carl turned his gaze to Shen Chengwen, nodded slightly, and said hello.
"This is Major Yang Yi, a member of the Special Squadron, my partner and garrison, the rising star of the Special Investigation Brigade."
Carl just glanced at Yang Yi, didn't even nod his head to say hello, obviously didn't take Yang Yi seriously.
"This is Colonel Jackson, a new member of the Special Investigation Team. In the squad led by Yang Yi, there are soldiers with strong combat power."
Carl looked at Jackson in surprise, then glanced at Yang Yi again.
Obviously, Lin Feng's introduction puzzled him.
Jackson is a colonel or a soldier, and Yang Yi is only a major, showing only the strength of an eighth-level soldier. How could Jackson be his subordinate? Although Lin Feng did not say that Jackson was Yang Yi's subordinate, in Yang Yi's team, it was equivalent to Yang Yi's subordinate.
A colonel with the rank of warrior is actually a subordinate of a major officer with the rank of eighth warrior!
Not to mention Carl, it would be surprising and unbelievable to switch to someone else.
"Colonel?"
"Um..." Carl came back to his senses and said to Lin Feng, "I'm glad you came here. To be honest, we are going to be unable to hold on anymore. But what I want to know is, how many officers and soldiers did you bring?"
"It's all here."
Carl was taken aback again, looking at Lin Feng in disbelief.
"A few of us are the team leaders, and other officers and soldiers have arrived with the'Shadow'. They are all outside. There are a total of forty-four officers and soldiers, all of which are combat soldiers."
"Only count you, forty-eight in total?"
Lin Feng nodded, indicating that it was what he meant.
Carl was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't know what to say.
"Colonel, our mission is very clear, to assist the garrison in guarding the military base on Prometheus until the reinforcements from the first theater of war arrive."
When Lin Feng said this, Carl smiled bitterly.
"Although we are from the first theater, the enemy will not treat it differently, and we will not have any reservations. Since we are here, we will listen to your command." Lin Feng paused for a while and said again, " Please rest assured, the colonel, we will carry out your orders without reservation."
"Colonel Lin Feng, I don't look down on you guys, it's just... hey!"
Lin Feng's brows jumped a few times. Although he saw what Carl meant, he didn't know what to say.
"Colonel, just tell me if you have anything." Yang Yi stepped forward and said, "We have come here, and we will all be in the same boat in the future. If the base falls, we will not end well. We must work together. , You also need to trust the other party unreservedly. If there is no even the most basic trust, even if it is not our 48 soldiers, but all the officers and soldiers of the special reconnaissance brigade, it will not help."
These words inevitably made Kaldor glance at Yang Yi.
"Yeah, don't treat us as outsiders." Shen Chengwen laughed and said, "There are fewer people, but we must do our best. If you have a task, just assign it to us. It is best to be challenging. To be honest, It’s the tradition of the Special Investigation Team to go wherever there is danger."
Carl nodded slightly.
Obviously, if he can't believe Yang Yi, then Shen Chengwen's words are very convincing.
Among the four of Lin Feng, Yang Yi, Shen Chengwen, and Jackson, apart from Jackson, the only thing Carl could not see through was Shen Chengwen. Although according to Lin Feng's introduction, Shen Chengwen was only a squadron leader and a tenth-level soldier, after Carl saw Shen Chengwen's first glance, he believed that Shen Chengwen was not just a tenth-level soldier. Carl felt that Shen Chengwen's strength would not be below Jackson.
Shen Chengwen's remarks also awakened Karl.
Jackson must be a Renkui warrior. If Shen Chengwen's strength is not below Jackson, he is also a Renkui warrior, and Lin Feng is a tenth-level warrior and owns the legendary "Fire Phoenix". Although Yang Yi's strength is a bit weaker, he also has the strength of an eighth-level soldier. It's just that the combat power of these four people is equivalent to the sum of the base garrison. If the forty-four soldiers outside are not too bad, the strength of this army will be amazing.
Where can the officers and soldiers of the special reconnaissance brigade go
Although he is not a member of the Third War Zone, Carl has long heard of the Special Reconnaissance Brigade, knowing that the officers and soldiers of the Special Reconnaissance Brigade are genuine soldiers. In addition, for hundreds of years, the special reconnaissance brigade has been adhering to the principle of bettering the problem than indiscriminately. Its strength has been maintained at about 500 and has never been expanded.
It can be said that the special reconnaissance team is the most elite force in the third theater.
Thinking of this, Carl secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
When receiving troops from the third theater of operations to come to support, Carl still felt that the above was fooling him, and did not take it seriously. When Lin Feng and others arrived on the "Shadow", Carl also thought so, thinking that the third war zone sent a group of mobs. In any case, the contradiction between the third theater and the first theater has existed for a thousand years. Prometheus is the frontier fortress of the first theater and has nothing to do with the third theater. Carl couldn't think of any reason for the third theater to help guard Prometheus in the first theater. If the attitude is to maintain unity within the army, then only ordinary troops will be sent.
Until now, Karl did not believe that reinforcements were indeed sent in the third theater, and it was an extremely powerful reinforcement.
"Colonel?"
"It seems that you are not here on holiday."
Lin Feng was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help smiling bitterly.
"Since you have expressed your attitude, I will not go around with you." Carl said while using the controller to call up a three-dimensional map from the light brain, which is the three-dimensional map of Prometheus. "This is Prometheus. The base is at the North Pole, where the green spot is located."
Yang Yi and others gathered around and looked at it carefully.
"There is a base on the other end of the planet, which is the South Pole. It is also a military base, but it is guarded by a few mercenary regiments." Carl said as he showed the geocentric tunnel connecting the north and south poles. "This tunnel passes directly through the center of the earth and connects two military bases. In theory, we can use this tunnel to go to the South Pole. Unfortunately, the tunnel fell before you arrived."
"Occupied?" Shen Chengwen's brows jumped a few times.
Carl nodded slightly and said, "We have lost contact with the Antarctic base and we don't know the situation there. More importantly, the enemy can use the tunnel to launch an attack from underground. Although the attack has not yet arrived, it does not mean that the enemy will give up. This means of attack."
"What do you want us to do?" Yang Yi asked directly.
Carl glanced at Yang Yi and the others, didn't rush to speak, his expression was not very good, it seemed a bit embarrassing.
