Chapter 863 Second Encirclement and Suppression
The long night is near.

The surrounding area of ​​the barracks was surprisingly quiet.

For the Western coalition forces, today is probably the nightmare they are least willing to recall.

The previous air force plowed the land, causing them to lose nearly half of their comrades-in-arms, and those who survived did not know where to go. As for the victory promised by the officers before the war, it seemed to them a mirage. Now they just want to live go home.

"Enough! I've had enough of this."

"Go home! We're going home!"

"Keep your voice down, you will be punished if you are overheard by the leader."

"I don't know if I can go back alive, so punish me."

"..."

The morale of the troops in the three directions has been greatly affected.

The previous big defeat had already made them lose the confidence to continue fighting.

"Quiet me all!"

An officer who just lost his right arm walked in: "There is an order from above, the number of security forces has doubled tonight, our regiment is on the list, cheer me up if you want to go home alive, now everyone It is an existence that prospers, prospers, and loses."

"Double the vigilance again?"

The soldier seemed to want something terrible: "Could it be that there is... in this forest?"

"shut up!"

The officer glared at the soldier who jumped the most, and interrupted his words: "Sometimes, smart people often die the fastest. As soldiers, you just obey orders, and don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked."

"Yes, General."

The soldier shrank his head, with a scared expression on his face, and didn't dare to say anything more.

Although he no longer said any outrageous words, during the following patrols, the fear in his eyes could not deceive anyone anyway, and his performance like a frightened bird made his teammates doubtful.

"Boy, what are you afraid of?"

The captain asked a little irritably: "What do you know? Tell us what the captain forbids you to say."

"The head has an order, I can't say it."

"Don't try to use the leader to suppress me, are we still comrades-in-arms?"

"I-I know..."

The soldier gritted his teeth: "Although the superiors tried their best to conceal it in order to stabilize the morale of the army, they also said that the air force ambushed before was accidental, but this is the third order to increase the vigilance. From this, I speculate that the enemy's air attack was not accidental, but It is our plan that has been leaked, I am afraid that the air raid was just a prelude, and the dinner will follow."

"Next is the dinner?!"

The faces of the captain and other team members changed.

If the previous air raid of that intensity was just an appetizer, could they survive the next meal?

I'm afraid the chance of survival is less than 1%.

"It's just your guess after all."

A team member paled and denied the soldier's words, but everyone knew that this was a manifestation of self-deception.

When people encounter difficulties that cannot be overcome, they will inevitably have the mentality of escaping, hoping to solve the problem by escaping. Unfortunately, escaping is useless, and what should come will still come.

"What shall we do now?"

The captain looked at the soldier. He felt that in the entire team, this soldier was probably the only one who was smart, so he hoped to rely on this soldier to survive the war as much as possible.

"Escape! You must escape now!"

The soldier said succinctly: "We must escape from here. Maybe we still have a chance. If we don't escape now and continue to follow the large army, we will die without a place to die."

"I approve of the escape."

"I agree too."

"Me too……"

One person at a time, even the team members who had previously denied the soldier agreed.

No one wants to die, and talking about fighting for glory when you can't see victory is hooliganism.

Therefore, everyone looked at each other and fled the barracks directly by taking advantage of their patrol duties.

Their movements are very cautious.

They did not attract the attention of the reconnaissance troops along the way, so they escaped from the radiation range of the barracks in less than an hour.

"Escaped, really escaped."

Everyone stood on a high place, panting heavily, pouring spring water.

Only the soldier didn't relax his vigilance: "Don't you think it went too smoothly? The scouting team is all professionals and mages, but we came here unscathed. stop."

"I, I think, I probably know why."

The captain's trembling voice came, he put down the binoculars, and pointed his finger in the direction of the barracks.

Everyone looked in the direction of their fingers, and saw that the army's garrison was already full of smoke. Standing on this high place and looking there with binoculars, they could even clearly see the crowd like ants fighting.

"Here we come, the Jialan Army is indeed here."

The captain looked at the soldier with shocked eyes: "Everything is just like what you said, our plan has been leaked, and the previous air strike was just an appetizer for the Jialan Army, and the next meal will be the main meal. The reason why we can be safe I escaped probably because the war started, and the war was so brutal that even the reconnaissance team didn't have time to pay attention to us."

"If we hadn't escaped, would we be dead now?"

"But even if we escape, where should we go?"

The faces of the other team members were very ugly. They did not feel grateful for the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, but were full of confusion about the future, and they didn't know where to go.

……

The war continued until dawn.

Although the second war was not as tragic as an air strike, half of the people died directly.But this battle completely shattered the last illusion of all soldiers and made them realize that they had become shackles.

Whether they are going forward or back, they have nowhere to go.

There seems to be only one choice left for them now——

surrender.

And in the next few days.

The Jialan Army seems to have given them enough time to hesitate. As long as they stand still, the Jialan Army will not launch any attacks.

It seems to be waiting for them to make a decision.

But the more peaceful the time, the more difficult it is for them.

Because once people are idle, their thinking will become active, and the soldiers' voices for surrender are very high.

The fact that the soldiers want to surrender does not mean that the higher-ups want to surrender.

Their roots are in the west, and as long as they can bring their generals and officers back to the west, they have the ability to continue the war.

Because it is very difficult to train an officer, but to form an army, all you need is money and resources. All countries are still populous countries, and it is easy to pull up an army.

So now the high-level thinking is——

Do everything possible to let the officers and high-level military forces return to their hometowns.
