The actions of the third regiment were full of difficulties, but the actions of the first regiment were smoother than expected. The soldiers descended layer by layer along the ropes fixed on the rock wall. Although the speed was a little slower, it was better than safety.
The mechanical spider was much faster than the soldiers. The troops had just descended a little more than two kilometers, and the mechanical spider had already crawled to the bottom of the well.
This time Xiao Yuan was finally able to take a good look at the situation at the bottom of the shaft, and found that the bottom of the shaft was a huge underground space with a high arched dome and a flat ground.
The corpses at the bottom of the well and the aliens who moved the corpses were all missing. If it weren't for the many congealed blood stains left on the ground, it would be impossible to tell that a battle had occurred here not long ago.
Xiao Yuan was very surprised. With so many bodies removed so quickly, there must be a lot of alien troops left down there. This made him hesitate a little, wondering whether he should continue going down.
It's not that he is timid, but that the structure of the airport is too dangerous.
The main body of the airport is like a large bowl upside down on the ground. The shaft is in the center of the bottom of the bowl. The enemy only needs to arrange his troops around the bottom of the bowl to surround the shaft heavily. Anyone who dares to enter the airport from the shaft will be surrendered.
The snare is no different.
Before Xiao Yuan could come up with a countermeasure, the mechanical spider climbed out of the shaft and suddenly saw a big ice-white guy. It was a huge ship that had not left the port!
Xiao Yuan's vision went dark and he almost fainted on the spot.
Hell, it is a giant ship. Although its firepower is not as strong as that of a battleship, it is still a spaceship no matter how weak it is. The enemy does not need to set up any encirclement at all. As long as the giant ship fires a few salvos, it can destroy any enemy.
Clear out the enemies that have entered the airport.
Using infantry to fight a spaceship? This is not the way to seek death!
Xiao Yuan quickly contacted Ye Han: "No. 1, No. 1, I am a group. Please answer when you receive it!"
"I am number one, please speak!"
Xiao Yuan quickly explained the situation: "No. 1, it is too dangerous to take the airport. I suggest giving up the original plan and finding another way."
"Look for another way?" Ye Han's eyebrows almost became parallel lines, "Are you sure?"
The original plan was to follow the action route of the multinational force and open a channel to rescue the trapped friendly forces, but he never expected that the multinational force would choose such a weird route. Don't they know how dangerous the giant ship is?
?
"I'm not sure." Xiao Yuan admitted honestly, "But it's better to be unsure than to die."
This reason is very powerful, really very powerful. Ye Han has to nod: "You can make up your own mind. I only look at the results and don't care about the process."
"Yes!" Xiao Yuan immediately put down a big stone in his heart and immediately ordered the troops to stop descending and get into a nearby cliff cave to take shelter temporarily.
Xiao Yuan then ordered the troops to recover the mechanical spiders. Except for leaving a few to monitor the airport, the others fully explored the depths of the cliff cave.
The mechanical spider recorded the route as it walked. Many branches were quickly added to the map of the shaft. As the spider moved, some cliff caves gradually connected together and turned into several branches on the main cave. There were also some branches.
They gradually get farther and farther, and finally connect to two different main caves.
According to the current findings, a main cave is connected to at least a dozen branch caves, and more is even connected to thirty or forty branch caves.
As long as the main cave is cut off, all the branch caves can be controlled. Xiao Yuan immediately asked the troops to check all the branch caves and then move the blocking points set up in the branch caves to the main cave.
Xiao Yuan then reported the new situation to Ye Han, and promptly informed the third regiment. The two regiments joined forces to explore the cliff cave together.
After a while, Xiao Yuan and Long Jianguo determined that there were a total of sixteen main caves around the shaft. The distribution of these main caves was very regular. They could be roughly divided into three layers: upper, middle and lower. The upper layer extended upward and seemed to lead to
The ground; the middle layer expands horizontally, and I don’t know where it leads; the lower layer goes deep into the ground, and it probably leads to the depths of the ground.
Xiao Yuan discovered that the direction of a lower main cave seemed to lead to the direction of target No. 1. After reporting the situation to Ye Han, he immediately ordered the troops to assemble towards this main cave. This main cave was also temporarily named Passage No. 1.
There are seventeen passages connected to passage No. 1. A group of soldiers gathered into the branch cave as quickly as possible. Xiao Yuan led the guard squad to the front and stopped only tens of meters away from the main cave.
Next, order the troops to continue to reconnoiter Channel 1.
Although the direction of Channel 1 was determined, due to communication problems, the mechanical spider did not go deep into the main cave. It was not until receiving Xiao Yuan's order that the soldiers controlled the mechanical spider to go deep into Channel 1.
Judging from the images sent back by the spider, the main cave is about four meters high, which is not much different from the branch cave, but the width is almost eight meters, which is more than twice as wide as the branch cave.
The mechanical spider advanced more than three hundred meters along the main cave, but did not see even a shadow of an alien. Xiao Yuan couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart.
But then it was different. The first branch road appeared in the main cave, and then branch roads appeared one after another. The spider swarm divided again and again, and separately explored the situation of the branch roads. The electronic map that was originally like a tree root suddenly added many more.
Bifurcation.
Xiao Yuan felt increasingly uneasy.
These caves and tunnels were very suitable for defense, and the aliens had no reason to give up such a good blocking terrain. However, the aliens took the initiative to give up and retreat, which reminded him of Ma Hui's worries.
This would be weird if it didn't lure the enemy in!
Xiao Yuan did not dare to order the troops to move forward, so he contacted Ye Han again: "No. 1, No. 1, I am a regiment!"
"I am number one, please speak!"
"Teacher, the situation is not right, we can't go any further!"
"If it doesn't work, just try another way." Ye Han said.
He must execute the orders of his superiors, so even if he knows that the situation is wrong, he cannot allow the troops to withdraw, but he is completely free to change how to execute it.
Xiao Yuan's face was full of bitterness: "In my opinion, it doesn't matter whether we change it or not. The enemy is hiding on purpose, waiting for us to go inside..."
Before he finished speaking, the communications soldier behind Xiao Yuan suddenly shouted anxiously: "Report, the drone has lost contact... No, it's an alien, the alien destroyed the drone!"
Xiao Yuan jumped up: "Where are they? Where are the aliens?"
The communications soldier immediately replied: "The main cave is six hundred meters away!"
"What about the quantity?"
"The number is unknown. There are no spiders before we can see clearly," the communications soldier said.
"Then what are you waiting for? Send another batch in!"
"yes!"
"The damn thing finally came out!" Xiao Yuan let out a long breath and looked at the main cave more than ten meters away. "Attention of all units, block the tunnel immediately, focus on the forks, and move forward to block the main tunnel. Immediately
