Chapter 284 Earth-Penetrating Bomb
Launching an attack on a nuclear bunker, especially one built during the Soviet era, is extremely difficult.

The Rangers were suffering casualties, and the advance was not progressing quickly, and all sides were gradually losing patience.

In terms of time, three hours had passed since the attack on the cave began, which was enough time for the rebels inside the bunker to destroy the documents.

Looking at the Rangers on the big screen, who were being blocked by permanent bunkers and were making a difficult advance, the commander picked up the phone next to him.

"Our side is preparing to execute Contingency Plan B1."

"Sir! We are still attacking!"

The US commander on the other end of the phone sounded somewhat displeased, but he understood. It wasn't that the Rangers weren't trying, but rather that the enemy had the advantage of terrain. Building such a permanent fortification was like gnawing on a tough bone; it had to be done bit by bit.

However, time waits for no one.

Give us some more time.

"Sir, we don't need to say anything more. Just withdraw your men," the commander said in a deep voice.

On the other end of the phone, the US military commander hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "I understand."

Soon, the order was relayed to the attacking forces, and the Rangers who were launching a fierce assault quickly retreated.

"Reporting to the commander, the U.S. Rangers are retreating."

"Notify Russia to implement the B1 contingency plan."

"understand!"

As a former Soviet bunker, letting Russia bomb it is like a son ruining his father's legacy—it's perfectly clear!

Swish swish!
A sonic boom echoed high in the sky as several bunker-buster bombs fell from the sky, crashing down on the top of the bunker.

Under the influence of Earth's gravity, the falling missile accelerated faster and faster, eventually crashing into the mountainside with a bang, penetrating the bunker, and due to the fault effect, the bunker-buster bomb penetrated into the underground storage area.

The delayed fuse was activated, and the thermobaric warhead exploded with a bang.

Blazing flames spread through the narrow passage, the fire dragon spreading along the internal roads of the cave. The thick isolation door was blown open by the blast wave from the explosion and flew out.

Before a rebel soldier transporting ammunition could react, he was struck by a thick door panel and instantly turned into mangled flesh. Before blood could even flow, the high temperature generated by the explosion of the thermobaric warhead left only charred marks on the ground.

Wherever the fire dragon went, all combustibles burst into flames, and flesh was burned into a shriveled lump of carbonized matter in the high-temperature flames.

One after another, bunker-buster bombs rained down on the top of the bunker. The joint operations team had abandoned the idea of ​​a direct assault and decided to destroy the entire underground base.

Damage assessment in progress

Satellite images show a continuous stream of fire bursting forth from hidden passages, each trail accompanied by large amounts of dust and debris that hadn't been completely burned away. Thermobaric weapons are extremely destructive in confined spaces and can also deplete the oxygen within, causing asphyxiation—a form of soft kill—injury to people inside.

The commander watched the explosion silently, his brow furrowed. This time, their operation had not achieved the expected results. The enemy had held out in the bunker for too long, a full three hours. Important documents had long been destroyed. Even if the entire bunker was destroyed, the amount of valuable intelligence that could be obtained by subsequent personnel entering would not be much.

Given the current situation, this is the only thing they can do. They would rather forgo intelligence than fail to completely eliminate these enemies. Traitors are even more hateful than enemies.

Russia has been continuously dropping thermobaric bombs into the bunker, which can be considered a 2.5-times-long cooperation.

After the last thermobaric bomb detonated inside the bunker, the entire Soviet-era bunker was riddled with holes. The Soviets were known for their large quantities of supplies.

After all, as human technology continues to develop, both the spear and the shield are constantly being upgraded. The bunkers built more than 30 years ago are no longer sufficient to completely defend against the increasingly sophisticated bunker-buster bombs.

Damage assessment in progress

[88.45% of the facility has lost its usability, and 96.69% of its personnel have been lost.]

After assessing the damage, the Rangers approached the cave again, but did not rush in. Instead, they waited for the oxygen inside to circulate again.

Time ticked by, and after waiting for the internal air to circulate and fill the gaps in the bunker, the Ranger put on his gas mask, held his detector, and carefully entered the bunker that had been destroyed by the thermobaric bomb.

After confirming that the oxygen concentration in the air met the requirements for human survival, they slowly made their way into the facility through the blown-open bunker.

The moment they entered the facility, a strong burning smell filled the air. Even with gas masks filtering the air, the smell of roasted protein still made the Rangers frown deeply.

Exploring deeper into the narrow passage, the walls of the corridor were charred black by the high temperature, and the lighting equipment was damaged, leaving only the powerful flashlights on the guns for illumination.

Crack! A ranger seemed to have stepped on something fragile. Looking down, he saw that he had crushed a piece of his charred hand. He cursed under his breath and, holding onto his comrade's hand, slowly began to explore the passage.

By this time, the interior had been blown to pieces, many of the weaker isolation walls had been breached, and the terrain was different from what was described in the intelligence. The Rangers could only cautiously explore forward, constantly comparing the internal structure with the information in the data, and exploring in the direction of some areas that might be important.

boom!
A soldier kicked open the drooping isolation door, and the air was filled with the smell of roasted meat, the aroma of cooked protein. But the Rangers didn't find it appealing or feel any appetite; instead, they felt a raw sense of nausea. The visual shock they were about to witness made them feel a deep-seated discomfort.

In an area resembling a warehouse, more than thirty corpses lay scattered on the ground, their bodies still radiating heat. The aroma of roasted meat emanated from them. Perhaps due to the space, the warehouse had been transformed into a giant oven, where people were roasted alive by the high temperature, cooked through and sizzling with oil.

"go ahead!"

The ranger captain gave his men a sign to continue advancing; as for those who had fallen to the ground, none of them were alive.

Keep moving forward
The Ranger squad seemed to have entered a living hell; while the flames purified the human traitors, they also turned them into acquaintances.

Finally, after blasting open a thick isolation door, more than a dozen people dressed in civilian clothes fell to the ground, their faces bluish-purple, tongues lolling out, their eyes wide open staring at the ceiling. Although the thermobaric bomb had not penetrated the core, the oxygen consumed was not so easy to replenish.

These men, who appeared to be of high rank, died of suffocation. The captain approached one of the traitors, whose clothing was most intricately marked, and searched him, finding a small booklet he had kept close to his body.
