Vault 32

Chapter 202 Spring

The temperature has gradually risen, and trickles have spread across the entire mountain range. The snow layer that once covered the calf has slowly melted, and the trickle converges into a stream, which merges together to form a small river, and finally forms due to the convergence. into the great river until it flows into the vast Pacific Ocean.

The three-month winter in British Columbia, Canada, has dissipated with the spring breeze flying in April. Only the thick snow layer in the dark place still tells the cruelty of the past winter.But in the sunny place, on the sensitive treetops, a little bit of green has appeared in this mountainous area, as if adding a bit of new vitality, bringing the recovery and hope of spring.

The same is true for the mountainous area near the cave base. Among the deliberately preserved shrubs and woods, a little bit of greenery has appeared, and along with the bunker that is deliberately covered with camouflage nets, it has formed a luxuriant scene like spring.Although there is no common fragrance of birds and flowers in summer, the light and fresh breath blowing by the wind still proves that winter is retreating.

This is a scene of hope. The Marine Corps, who have been busy for nearly a month, can't help but stop the tasks they are still busy with. They take advantage of the rest time to come outside the cave to feel the freshness of this spring. .Even Liszt couldn't help but come outside the base and enjoy a quiet moment with the boys.

However, they all spontaneously did not stay for too long, and returned to the cave base in less than 10 minutes.This is just a little nostalgia for spring, a little pastime in their busy expansion tasks, and the threat that the Soviets are almost approaching very close, but it still makes them quite vigilant, and this is what they are fighting for. power.

The surface part with a small amount of engineering has been completed ahead of schedule. There are nine buried permanent defense bunkers, which are now surrounding the entrance and exit of the cave base. They are composed of four outer and four inner defensive bunkers. Guarding one side, each blockhouse can also be supported by firepower from the left, right and rear.

Now inside each bunker, there are also two Marine Corps soldiers stationed on guard. If something abnormal is found, with the sound of the emergency bell, the Marine Corps who are on standby inside the cave base can also pass through directly. The secret passage four meters away can replenish all the soldiers in the nine bunkers to ten at any time, manipulate the two heavy machine guns inside, and launch a deadly firepower pouring on any enemy who dares to easily set foot in this area!

Even the six 92-type infantry guns were set up in the caves of the mountain where the cave base is located, and the range can cover all the hills around the cave base to the foot of the mountain.If calculated according to the limit range and angle, and shoot in mortar mode, even the narrow area between hilltops can be covered by artillery fire with elements that have been measured and adjusted in advance.

These weapons and equipment, plus the matching ammunition, have already consumed nearly 20 Liszt points.But as a standard defensive fortress, Lister's cave base is still relatively crude.He has no heavy artillery, lacks effective counterattacks against the enemy's covering firepower, and lacks air defense means. Now, for Lister, the only air defense means is the "Javelin" portable air defense missile, which can only cope with the enemy's flying height. Very low helicopter.

However, this may also be an opportunity. When Lister's cave base is basically completed, in the complex mountainous area of ​​the Rocky Mountains, it will be like a steel nail smashed here, and the whole body is full of steel thorns.After all, the complex terrain made it impossible for the enemy to deploy heavy armored units. Apart from using a small amount of light armored units, helicopters from the aviation regiment, and mountain troops with only a few heavy weapons, the enemy could not deploy too many troops at all.

Even if it is an attack on the cave base, all the troops will rush in from all directions, and all the personnel will be a battalion at most. If there are many, then it will only deliver food to all the soldiers in the cave base.Complicated mountainous areas are not flat plains. There are undulating hills and steep hills, and even cliffs with a drop of more than ten meters or more than 20 meters. It is impossible to march and attack at all, even with sufficient firepower.

Now, most of the boys of the Marine Corps have also returned to the cave base and started the internal transformation and construction work.In particular, the transformation of combat readiness is the top priority now.As Liszt, who has lived in this world for more than twenty years, he has a deep understanding of certain battlefield ethics in this world.

Once the enemy's attack is frustrated, or even if the attack is too long and the delay is too long, they will not hesitate to use some poison gas with deadly effects, or even chemical weapons.Even when certain extreme phenomena appear, it is not impossible to use the miniaturized nuclear bombs of this world. Those guys can do it completely, and they dare to do it when they are provoked.

Of course, this is also the most extreme situation. Liszt also discussed this issue with those Soviet experts who were willing to cooperate, but the final conclusion was that the possibility of using nuclear bombs was relatively small.After all, he is only a small-scale special forces unit fighting on Canadian soil. It is impossible for anyone to use a nuclear bomb with long-lasting radiation because of a small problem. Even if the military chief is willing, the politicians responsible for approval will absolutely will not agree.

However, for the construction tasks of anti-gas and anti-biochemical weapons, they have also started to issue after careful modification plans and confirmation of the modified drawings.In particular, the vents and tunnels, which were heavily remodeled, allowed the boys of the Marine Corps to work in shifts around the clock to ensure that all projects were completed in the shortest possible time.

Everyone already has a sense of urgency, because as the weather gradually improves, the thick snow layer that originally covered the Rocky Mountains has finally revealed brown. Suddenly, even patches of green vegetation have appeared, coming from all directions Like lurking wolves, they slowly bared their fangs towards them, ready to pounce on them, turning them into delicious meat, and devouring them alive.

PS: In less than a month, the baby will be born, there are too many things, I didn't update yesterday, sorry.But I strive to update twice a day.The world war is about to start, I hope to surprise everyone, and the experimental versions of various post-war technologies will also appear.
