The Fourth Calamity never believed in the steel torrent!

Chapter 91 Great, we're all still alive!
"Sigh, it was still destroyed. It's a real shame. Such a big mech, maybe we could have researched it and found something useful."

Looking at the commotion in the distance, Andrei shook his head with a hint of regret, but deep down he didn't actually feel too sorry.

They could indeed operate that thing, but it was pointless.

Andrei had previously sent players to study the bridging mech, only to find that they couldn't move it at all; its movement speed was simply too slow.

The normal marching speed of infantry is about 5 kilometers per hour, while this thing moves at about 3 kilometers per hour, which is about the same as an old lady taking a walk.

And this thing is not only big, but also a gas guzzler; a single tank of gas can only last for a maximum of two hours.

Moreover, this thing doesn't seem to have any other use besides building bridges; it's just armed with a machine gun on top.

They needed to stop the enemy from crossing the river, not build a bridge themselves. As for the machine gun, it had already been taken away by the other Cambrian soldiers who had arrived.

So without much hesitation, the Cambrian soldiers who arrived were amazed by the military industrial strength of the Black Hawk Empire before blowing the thing up with bombs.

Although they didn't manage to capture that item, the players captured a total of 21 mechs, which is no joke, it's a real deal!

In addition to the 21 mechs, Andrei and his team also captured dozens of military trucks, as well as an even larger number of mules and horses.

These military trucks were mostly used by the enemy to transport fuel, ammunition, and other supplies. Now, they've all ended up being used by Andrei and his men.

In addition to these equipment, there were also usable weapons and equipment captured from the enemy, which were also quite good.

Players didn't care about the submachine guns and machine guns from the Black Hawk Empire; some players just picked up a couple as collectibles.

However, for the soldiers in the replenishment regiment, this equipment was a real treat.

Since they were a supplementary regiment, they naturally couldn't be assigned very good equipment. Especially during the battle, many of their weapons and equipment were destroyed by the enemy. After losing a batch of their already limited machine guns, things got even worse.

Although their machine guns were not of the same caliber as those of the Black Hawk Empire, they still managed to seize a batch of machine guns.

It's unreliable for long-term use, but it's fine for short-term emergencies.

"Lieutenant Colonel, how many soldiers do you have left in total?"

After glancing at Lieutenant Colonel Unere, who was piling up the soldiers' corpses and then burning them, Andrei approached and asked somewhat somberly.

"Not many. The group that originally had about 1000 people has now dwindled to less than 500!"

After sighing, he turned to Andrei and asked:
"And you? How many people do you have left?"

Andrei also sighed and shook his head.

"I don't have many men left either. There are only 78 men left in total. The soldiers I brought with me are almost all gone, if not all."

At this point, the two couldn't help but sigh, feeling utterly frustrated.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Andrei still has 78 men left, which seems like his army is growing stronger with each battle. In reality, 60 of those 78 men are players.

In other words, aside from the players, Andrei's original company now has only 18 survivors. This is all thanks to the players' arrival, which significantly boosted their combat effectiveness, allowing them to survive.

Otherwise, without the players' intervention, Andrei had no doubt that his company would not have been able to break through the initial battlefield, and everyone would have died there in the end.

On the other hand, Major Yuri's team was relatively well preserved.

They weren't the superhuman warriors under Andrei's command; they couldn't possibly survive a fierce breakout battle and a long march only to be still full of energy and continue fighting the enemy every day.

So they basically stayed in the rear as reserves, assisting in the rescue of the wounded and taking a break whenever they had a chance.

Therefore, only about one-third of his soldiers were killed or wounded, making it the least casualty unit among all the teams.

Speaking of casualties, Andrei suddenly thought of Yelena, the medical nun in his company.

To be honest, she was the biggest contributor in this battle. If it weren't for her incredible medical skills, at least one more company would have died in Andrei's team.

In order to speed up the rescue of the injured, Yelena always treated the seriously injured first. Once the seriously injured were out of danger, she would go and rescue the others.

At first, some people did not understand. Yelena was initially interested in explaining, but as a group of people kept asking her questions and were unwilling to let her leave, she lost patience.

Fortunately, there were soldiers in Andrei's company who stayed behind, and these men helped Yelena get out of the predicament and gave those guys a good scolding.

They're not incapable of understanding human language, so how could they not know why Yelena did this?

The reason they didn't want Yelena to leave was, frankly, because they were afraid of dying. They felt that their injuries were only half healed and they wanted them to be fully healed.

After being busy for so long, Yelena's physical strength had long been pushed to the limit, not to mention that her treatment seemed to consume mental energy.

So almost immediately after Andrei announced the victory, Yelena fainted without a sound, startling Andrei, who feared that his medical nun had died.

His team isn't entirely composed of players, and as his rank increases, the proportion of players will inevitably decrease.

Having a medical nun is like having a precious treasure. In the entire company, no one but Yelena can be allowed to die except for herself.

Fortunately, after examining her, the other military doctors at the field hospital found that Yelena had simply fainted from exhaustion and would be fine after a rest, which relieved Andrei.

As for now, Yelena herself should be catching up on sleep in the military vehicle ahead, while Andrei glanced at the dilapidated town and walked towards the military vehicle.

After automatically sitting in the passenger seat, Andrei glanced at Boris, who was driving, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Old Deng, that's great, we're all still alive!"

Andrei patted him on the shoulder and said excitedly.

Boris glanced at the bandage wrapped around his chest, felt the bones that were almost healed but still aching slightly, and gave an awkward smile.

"Yes, Company Commander, that's great! We're all still alive!"
