Chapter 115 No one survived?
Bai Jin was taken aback when he saw the message, and then searched for the guard company's weapon configuration in the system.
The base guard company consists of three reinforced artillery platoons, while air defense and fire support are handled by the base's self-defense system.
The reinforced platoon consists of three 9-man infantry squads, one 12-man machine gun squad, one 6-man flamethrower squad, and a platoon command post, totaling 50 personnel.
Each rifle squad is divided into three fire teams, each consisting of one machine gunner and two riflemen. The riflemen are equipped with underbarrel grenade launchers and carry five 40mm grenades each.
Each machine gun squad is equipped with two 12.7mm heavy machine guns, two light machine guns, and six rifles.
The flamethrower squad is equipped with four flamethrowers and two smoke grenade launchers.
The platoon command post contains five reconnaissance unmanned combat vehicles.
Looking at the guard company's weaponry, Platinum couldn't help but wonder what size swarm of insects would be needed to cause the entire guard company to lose contact.
Platinum then continued to check the battle reports in the system.
"The blood of these insects is extremely acidic and can corrode concrete surfaces."
"10:35: The first wave of insect swarms has been eliminated. Five people were killed and 11 were slightly wounded. The guard company has 73 men remaining. The heavy machine gun ammunition is more than half used up, and the small-caliber heavy bullets have been used up. They are heading to the warehouse to replenish ammunition and change weapon configurations."
"10:42 AM: The unmanned combat vehicle has detected the second wave of insect swarms and is currently engaging them."
"10:50: The guard company is in position and ready to engage the enemy."
"10:53 AM: The second swarm of insects contains highly mobile insects. The first line of defense has been lost, and the troops have retreated to the second line of defense. 10 people have been killed."
"11:07: The second wave of insect troops has been eliminated, with a total of 21 dead and 5 lightly wounded. The guard company has 52 men remaining."
"11:09: Eight heavy machine guns, twelve light machine guns, fifty-three rifles, twelve flamethrowers, and ammunition are in full supply. Unmanned combat vehicles are being activated."
"11:15: The unmanned combat vehicle has detected a third wave of insect swarms approaching, and they are numerous."
"11:17 AM: Supplies storage completed. Requesting command to seal off the passage to prevent the insect swarm from invading the bunker. The guard company will fight to the death."
Seeing this, Platinum felt a little strange. Was there no weapon system installed inside the bunker?
"Lorraine, Ouyang Nian, which of you found the information about the bunker?"
Ouyang Nian replied, "I've found the information on the bunker. What do you need?"
"Check the passageways inside the bunker for any weapon systems."
Ouyang Nian used the search function to find the information needed for Platinum.
"No, to ensure the bunker's resistance to attack, only heavy blast-proof steel doors were installed at both ends of the passageway; no weapon systems were installed."
"knew!"
Platinum sighed and continued to check the battle reports in the system.
"11:21: Guards connect with the enemy."
"11:25 AM: The third swarm is large in number, but no other subspecies have been found."
"11:55: 7 men remain in the guard company."
These three were the final battle reports; only one voice message remained, sent from the front lines.
Platinum gently pressed the play button.
"All soldiers of the guard company have lived up to the expectations of our motherland. We will fight to the last moment! Charge!"
A crisp sound rang out, followed by a series of explosions, and the audio abruptly stopped.
"12:17: Temperature drop detected, oxygen content low, no vital signs in the passage."
A string of cold words is the last record left in the world of this guard company.
After calming down, Bai Jin went to Ouyang Nian's side and used his privileges to obtain the complete bunker map.
The bunker is not very large, and it is T-shaped, extending to the north. Its interior space is divided into a command room, living area, vehicle area, material storage area, and farm area.
The various areas are scattered and connected by three passages of different widths: two 3-meter-wide pedestrian passages and one 16-meter-wide two-way four-lane road. The vehicle area and the material storage area both have lanes that lead directly to the ground.
After confirming the location of the damage on the map, Platinum prepared to take the mechanical dog to investigate.
"Commander, I'll take Kheshig and the others to check the area near the breached passage."
Lorraine, who was engrossed in searching for information, looked up at Platinum.
"Just send the kheshig and the others. It's still unclear how these bugs discovered the bunker. Based on the available information, it seems that the unmanned vehicles don't attract the swarm's attention before firing."
"I know you want to go in and collect the remains of the fallen soldiers, but you must ensure your own safety first."
Then, Lorraine looked at Ouyang Nian and said.
"You and Ouyang Nian should sort through the supplies stored in the warehouse and see if there are any weapons or equipment that we can use right now."
Lorraine then brought Bai Jin to Ouyang Nian's side and asked her to help Ouyang Nian organize the data.
After the mechanical dogs went to check, Lorraine returned to her previous position to continue searching for information about the vanguard fleet.
Before long, he found a piece of information that seemed to have led to the annihilation of the vanguard fleet.
"The vanguard fleet discovered aquatic creatures approximately 45 meters long at a depth of 40 meters at 136.85, -38.044, the number of which is unknown."
"The fleet has moved 10 nautical miles from the coordinates and deployed an unmanned underwater vehicle to begin reconnaissance."
The next message will arrive in twenty minutes.
"The unmanned underwater vehicle has lost contact, and an unfamiliar voiceprint has been detected during monitoring. The fleet is now on high alert."
Five minutes later.
"The strange ocean behemoth has launched an attack on our side. Rocket depth charges have limited effect on it, but heavy torpedoes can inflict effective damage."
"The concealment effect of the aerosol grenades was ineffective against them; 114 and 115 have already been sunk."
"The enemy's maximum speed is approximately 50 knots, making it extremely aggressive."
"The entire Vanguard-4 fleet has lost contact, and base personnel have begun to retreat to bunkers."
Along with this battle report, voiceprint information of the sea monsters collected by the fleet before losing contact was also transmitted back.
Lorraine took out a data cable from the portable terminal on his arm, connected it to the current device, and transmitted the voiceprint information back to the mobile terminal.
After confirming that there was no useful information, Lorraine got up and went to Ouyang Nian's side, using the communication equipment next to her to connect with the mechanical dogs that had gone to investigate the damaged area.
"Frequency band setup complete, information channel established, and they are contacting our unit."
"Tengu received. What are your instructions, Commander?"
After the information channel was established, the perspectives of all the mechanical dogs appeared on the screen in front of us.
After confirming that the robotic dogs had reached their designated positions, Lorraine and the others assessed the condition of the steel doors in the enclosed passage using images transmitted from the screens.
