Bang!
After a muffled sound, a chain reaction followed, igniting the air and causing continuous explosions.
The violent airflow and fire engulfed the main passages more than 50 meters in front and rear.
More than 20 soldiers from Country Y's special forces retreated more than ten meters in advance and were already lying on the ground, but they still did not survive.
Withstanding the dual attacks of ultra-high temperature gas and continuous explosions, more than half of them were seriously injured and unable to stand up and fight again.
Fortunately, the inert gas came into play here, and the blue flame gradually weakened and extinguished not long after it rushed out, without causing any greater harm.
On the other side, the Union soldiers closest to the explosion were fueled by increased oxygen levels, making the explosion more violent, causing heavy casualties and almost no chance of survival.
Likewise, the burning line of fire spreads forward, chasing oxygen in six directions, like a wild cat that smells fishy smell and won't stop until it catches a fish.
The dull explosions continued, accompanied by screams and painful moans.
The entire main passage and the connected tunnels were filled with flames mixed with light, which looked strange and cruel, turning this place into a hell on earth.
The worst part of the search was the mixed special forces channel that was filled with oxygen levels.
The soldiers fell in pieces, and their souls died in heaven before they could reach the enemy.
Seeing the line of fire burning rapidly, the general who was the last guard of the passage gave an order and urgently closed the alloy door, isolating his companions inside and dividing them into two realms: heaven and hell.
When the commanders of State Y's special forces and chemical defense forces arrived in a hurry, they found that the entire main passage was red and the temperature was frighteningly high.
More than a dozen chemical defense soldiers who arrived in time were rushing to rescue their seriously injured companions, all of whom were survivors behind the alloy gate.
After reading the handwritten content of the team leader who struggled to get up, the two commanders were speechless. They neither praised nor condemned. They signaled the rescuers to do their best to rescue them, said a few words of comfort in sign language, and then turned and left.
This kind of behavior hurts others and hurts oneself. It is difficult to make a clear statement. Silence is the best choice.
The two commanders actually had a clear mind, and they agreed very much with the team leader's strategy, and admired his courage and determination to make prompt decisions.
Whether it is a tactical victory or a strategic need, this approach was the most rational choice before.
As the soldiers on their side were buried together, the two of them could not support it publicly, so as not to chill the hearts of ordinary soldiers.
Although everyone knows that even if they don't do this, the people trapped in the siege will not be spared.
But it is emotionally unacceptable for the time being. It requires repeated baptism of blood and fire to truly mature.
2 hours passed, 4pm.
When State Y's special forces conducted an in-depth search, there were no surviving soldiers on the ground in the main passage.
Everything was charred into black charcoal, and deformed weapons were everywhere, still very hot to the touch.
The shape of the two combat robots remained relatively intact, but the precision chips inside had long since melted and they were completely useless.
At the other five intersections, no soldiers from the two sides were spared and all were killed.
Four CO high-pressure spray guns exploded into pieces, obviously becoming the hardest hit area of the explosion.
Continuing the search, there were corpses of soldiers from both sides lying on the ground along the way, dying with their eyes open.
The other two combat robots also lost their function and turned into scrap metal.
The rear section of the 5th channel was all blown up and sealed, temporarily blocked.
In the sixth passage, the alloy door was deformed. It may not be opened for a while or for some reason. In short, no Alliance soldiers came out to charge again.
At 5 p.m., the inventory was completed.
In the contact battle on the main channel, the Alliance side suffered heavy losses, with more than 200 people dead.
Country Y also suffered a lot of losses, with 162 dead, 12 seriously injured and 5 slightly injured.
According to the statistical summary of the chemical defense force and the special forces force, so far, more than 1,500 people on the Alliance side have been killed in the raids and encounters on both sides of the dividing line in this area, with ominous casualties.
On the side of Country Y, 826 people were killed, 25 were seriously injured, and 36 were slightly injured. This ended with Country Y's temporary victory.
More ferocious, more cruel, more decisive, in this round of battle of wits and courage, the country's side was slightly better.
At the underground alliance garrison in Sekma Town, at the division headquarters, a group of generals looked extremely ugly.
"Damn it! Who can tell me why the losses are so heavy!?" Division Commander Su Lisu roared furiously.
"Commander, blame me for not planning well enough. I am responsible for this." Chief of Staff Ben Laming lowered his head and blamed himself.
"Commander, the strategy is not wrong. The other party will not hesitate to die together, so they can only suffer the loss of being dumb." The fiery brigade commander said a fair word for the chief of staff.
"Yes, this is an action plan jointly formulated by everyone. It is subject to many objective conditions. It can teach the other party a lesson, and the sacrifice is worth it."
The peacemaker and Brigadier Marathon did not argue with each other this time and also defended the Chief of Staff.
"I guess the other party is also anxious. The losses cannot be small. Maybe we have killed their CO high-pressure spray gun and eliminated the biggest threat."
A deputy brigade commander made a bold guess and tried to cheer up his side.
"That's right. As long as you send someone out to test it again, you can find out the clues by looking at the reaction level, and then make new arrangements according to the situation."
The fiery brigade commander heard that it made sense and immediately agreed.
"But, our arsenal is to the south. If we are attacked by the other side, we will lose our last thoughts." The peacemaker, Brigadier Marathon, questioned.
"If you don't test it out, how will you know whether the other party still has a trump card? If it delays the opportunity to fight, can you bear the responsibility?"
The fiery brigade commander insisted on his opinion and believed that it was very necessary to do this.
"It is no exaggeration to say that this is a premeditated strategic action by the other party, and the senior commander will definitely consider it all. I would like to ask, if you were the full commander of the other party planning this operation, would you be fully prepared and have backup options for emergencies? ?”
The Marathon Brigadier despised this colleague who had never been on the battlefield before and was forcibly promoted through military connections. Seeing that he was still stubborn to this day, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
"Well, you say this won't work, that won't work either. You can't just let it go."
Although the fiery brigade commander was a little confused, he had nowhere to get angry and could only ask questions in reverse.
"Commander, I believe that the most important thing at the moment is to keep the last arms and supplies intact, wait for the strategic supplies to restrain the opponent, stabilize the position, and then slowly play with them.
In such a small place, the corps can't let go for a while. To deal with these cockroaches and bugs hiding in the tunnels, our remaining troops are enough to devour them.
Insurance is the most appropriate thing to do. At present, we are responsible for the lives of our brothers, and we must ensure the final victory of the alliance. "
The Marathon brigade commander told the truth about his plan. This was the conclusion he had repeatedly weighed.
"The Marathon Brigade Commander's method is basically the same as what I thought. Chief of Staff Bin Lamin's plan is not without effect. We are now in a difficult situation. Everyone must work together to cope with the difficulty. Only when the situation improves can we escape the danger. At the moment, I ordered all ministries Guard your respective passages, focus on strengthening the protective force on the south side, and never let the enemy come in to make dumplings."
Division Commander Su Lisu synthesized everyone's speeches, made the final decision, and laid out various countermeasures in detail.
"Yes! Resolutely obey orders and guard your territory."
After everyone recorded the specific requirements of the teacher, received the division of tasks, gained confidence, and went about their business.
"I hope it can be postponed until the turnaround comes."
Master Su Lisu sighed inwardly after everyone left.
February 2, 10 pm.
There are more than 440 people in the special forces unit of country y, which were merged with 160 chemical defense troops to form a special forces regiment.
The leader of the special forces team serves as the commander and is responsible for the overall dispatch and division of labor operations.
So far, the special group has occupied 1/3 of the underground tunnels in Sekma Town.
In addition to repairing the damaged alloy doors, six new alloy doors were added to key forks, and the collapsed parts and dividing line aisles were reinforced.
All remaining utensils in the tunnel will be transported to the ground of the warehouse complex for processing.
Combat weapons such as heavy machine guns and reserve high-pressure spray guns have also been moved forward from the rear, making preparations for a long-term hold.
Considering that one-third of the soldiers lacked protective clothing and could not support frontline operations in time, the commander ordered to add simple isolation doors to the alloy gates of the dividing line aisles and enable air Extract the machine to perform air purification in the aisle east of the isolation door.

It connects the original caves under the warehouse group to ensure sufficient oxygen in the tunnels and orderly coordination of operations such as casualty treatment, daily life and sleep, material supply, consumption replenishment, offensive and defensive advance and retreat.
From 5 pm onwards, the entire regiment learned its lesson and did not rush for success, suspending the offensive in the central and southern sections.
Seize the time to repair fortifications, replenish ammunition consumption, take turns to eat and rest, and transport combat materials from the direction of the bunker to achieve a controlled attack and defense, and freedom of advance and retreat.
Underground in Sekma Town, the people from both sides were close to each other. They were no longer hit by high-altitude, near- and long-range attacks, and began to calm down.
The alliance was frustrated, and in order to vent their anger, they bombed the village and the bunker indiscriminately before stopping.
No matter how much money you have, you can't afford it to be wasted.
After the artillery fire stopped, the opponent's personnel, materials, weapons, etc. were still transported quickly without much loss.
February 3, 1 am.
A group of special forces was responsible for digging a new diagonal tunnel. After non-stop excavation, they finally encountered hard tunnel fortifications when they dug 50 meters. The task of opening a shortcut achieved initial success.
Regardless of whether the opponent adopts a circular tunnel layout or a grid-type tunnel design, it will not hinder the implementation of the special group's new plan.
The regiment commander received the news and urgently summoned his two deputies to revise the next action plan and determine a new attack idea.
In the end, it was decided that based on the current limited manpower, in order to reduce risks and improve efficiency, we would abandon the attack on the southern section and focus on the middle and northern sections, trying to capture the entire northern or middle section before 12 noon.
Otherwise, it will immediately switch to the defensive stage and wait for new opportunities to come.
Although the main attack direction was actually chosen in the wrong direction, it did not affect the overall strategic intention.
Timing and variables need to be captured in the process, and the role of the commander becomes particularly important at this time.
The synchronized action time is set in one hour, and all relevant arrangements are in place in advance.
At 2 o'clock in the morning, the debris of the new diagonal excavation was completed, and the simple support columns were completed amidst the vibrations of continuous excavation in the northern section.
4 handheld drilling machines, defensive weapons, 2 CO high-pressure spray guns, and soldiers in readiness are ready, waiting for the construction of the middle and southern sections to start and then take action depending on the situation.
