"Nearly 20 small enemy units have disappeared on the western side of the battlefield?"
Yes, the command aircraft's synthetic aperture radar did not find any trace of small enemy units on the ground. Instead, it detected infrared signatures resembling those left by a large number of zombie dogs moving westward.
Based on the assessment, it is highly likely that these small individuals were thrown elsewhere by the shockwave generated by the thermobaric warhead.
Two strike teams have been dispatched to eliminate 17 small enemy units on the eastern side of the battlefield.
Lorraine scratched his head in frustration.
In the worst-case scenario, these 20 small enemy units would very likely follow the radio waves to the shipyard located on the west side of the naval base.
Moreover, they are very likely to appear outside the shipyard camp along with a large number of zombie dogs.
"Tsk."
After a moment's thought, Lorraine decided to mobilize the light cruiser HMS Sea Knight, which was on standby in the bay, as well as the unmanned combat units patrolling the perimeter of the naval base. At the same time, he launched reconnaissance aircraft into the airspace above the battlefield to track the infrared signature signals left by what appeared to be a large number of zombie dogs moving westward.
"Cleveland, if you use the Sea Knight's electronic equipment, could you remotely control the Type 21 infantry fighting vehicles and Type 21 tanks in the shipyard?"
The unmanned turret of the assault gun is used in combat.
The Sea Knight's computing power is insufficient; I cannot simultaneously control all the unmanned turrets in the shipyard for combat, and can only operate three unmanned turrets at a time.
[With the assistance of robotic dogs, I can input code into the unmanned turrets, allowing them to complete strike missions under the command of the robotic dogs.]
"Okay, remember to deploy the drones on the infantry fighting vehicles to monitor the battlefield situation."
【clear.】
Although the front lines were far from the camp, Lorraine ordered Cleveland to take control of the Sea Knight and return to camp immediately, just to be on the safe side.
[The heavy bunker-buster missile is entering its terminal attack phase. Countdown: 3 minutes. Please use the laser designator to locate the target.]
Upon seeing this message, Lorraine moved five unmanned combat vehicles equipped with laser pointers, located on the back of the mountain, to the second line of defense and began using lasers to illuminate the large enemy units that were struggling in place and had lost their combat capabilities.
Three minutes later, two heavy bunker-buster missiles simultaneously hit the enemy's large unit.
Three tons of high explosives detonated in the valley, causing violent tremors in the local area.
When the smoke cleared, a larger crater appeared on the ground, with only some crystal-clear material remaining inside.
[Large enemy unit confirmed destroyed, battlefield cleared, requesting withdrawal.]
"Evacuation is permitted. Load all unmanned units with recovery and repair value onto the vehicles."
After receiving the order, the transport team drove off-road trucks back to the rear of the blocking position to assist the engineering unit in loading the damaged or immobilized unmanned units into the truck beds.
After loading is complete, they will stay overnight and begin their return journey the following morning.
The command aircraft, at an altitude of 10,000 meters, will return with the transport convoy. Before that, the command aircraft will remain in the airspace above the transport convoy to monitor the surrounding environment and ensure the safety of the transport convoy.
With the work proceeding smoothly, Lorraine finally breathed a sigh of relief. He opened the intelligence system to check on the situation at the mine.
[1. There is a small island 155 nautical miles to the south. The island has several intelligent production lines and complete production conditions, capable of converting raw materials into qualified weapons and ammunition.]
[2. There is a small mine located 508.7 kilometers north-northeast, where a batch of intelligent mining equipment is stored in a warehouse.]
[3. At 217 degrees southwest, 224 nautical miles away, there is an amphibious task force adrift at sea. The ships themselves are actually fraught with danger.]
[4. At coordinates 144.95361, -39.09596, a massive Level 5 Overlord has occupied this Level 3 Dangerous Sea and is preparing to separate a child. After the separation, both will be weakened. During the preparation period, the Overlord will not actively attack unknown objects at a distance. Countdown to child separation: 9 days, 15 hours, and 21 minutes]

"Hopefully, the reconnaissance aircraft can follow those infrared signals and find the danger heading west."
Lorraine slowly exhaled, preparing to contact the Sea Knight, which had already arrived at the shipyard. If nothing unusual happened, he would prepare to rest.
At this moment, everyone at the shipyard camp looked at the Sea Knight returning safely with doubt, but then they received a message from Cleveland.
Upon receiving the information, the patrol team split into three groups and, led by robotic dogs, patrolled continuously 24 hours a day.
Special operations agents retrieved air rifles from the warehouse and then drove Type 21 wheeled armored vehicles parked in the camp to the vicinity of the wall, ready to strike any threats that might attack the camp.
Cat controlled the two reconnaissance drones that were stuck in the camp to take off and begin patrolling the perimeter of the camp.
Six robotic dogs stayed next to the armored vehicle, charging themselves while remotely controlling 50 Patrol Type 1 robotic dogs to patrol inside the enclosure.
On the sea outside the shipyard camp, the two main guns at the bow of the Sea Knight were raised to different angles, ready to bombard the perimeter of the camp at any time.
After confirming that everything was normal at the shipyard and that the shipyard was now on high alert, Lorraine prepared to rest.
Before resting, he instructed Cleveland to remain vigilant and to alert him immediately if any unusual events occurred during the night.
[Received from Commander.]
Lorraine and Platinum found two well-packaged cots and matching bedding in the storage room of the command center.
After unpacking and giving it a quick pat, the two lay down on the cot and fell asleep fully clothed.
In the night sky, a reconnaissance drone of improved Cormorant type slowly flew along the faint infrared signals on the ground, searching for possible dangers.
As the drone moved forward, the residual infrared signals on the ground became increasingly noticeable and dense. After passing a stream, the infrared signals on the ground scattered and pointed in different directions.
After collecting the information, the onboard AI began to make judgments, and then the drone turned southwest and flew north towards the camp.
However, the drone did not detect the change in the color of the stream.
More than ten small individuals are chasing over 40 zombie dogs in the stream, which eventually flows into the insect-infested industrial area.
The next morning, the first thing Lorraine did upon waking was to check the information gathered by the reconnaissance drone.
"Hmm, these zombie dogs seem to be heading straight for Lin Shu's old farm."
Aside from that, there's nothing else of noteworthy information.
"But this stream..."
Based on the information transmitted back by the reconnaissance drone, Platinum located the stream on the map.
She always felt that some creatures would flee along this stream, and even if her feeling was wrong, the stream could block some infrared radiation.
