The First Order

As the crowd slowly broke through the southwest forest, Qing's main force began to build a line of defense on the edge of the forest.

Xuan'en Mountain, Laifeng Mountain, and Yongshun Mountain have been constructed into a single piece of iron.

Behind the battle line, hundreds of forward bases are connected to form a huge logistics supply network.

After the reunification of the southwest, the Qing family reorganized all the troops and reorganized all the troops into two group A and one group B, with a total number of 230,000.

The so-called Class A group army means that it is fully staffed and has sufficient ammunition, ready to go to the battlefield to prepare for battle.

The Class B group army is not fully staffed and needs to be supplemented.

But now, whether it's Category A or Category B, whether you're full or not, the cruelest battle will begin.

There are forty-six barriers in the entire southwest. The total number of people is counted by the first census, plus the total number of refugees is 9.6 million.

In fact, the number of people in the Southwest was originally larger, but the situation in the Southwest is similar to that of the Central Plains, and they have also experienced heavy wars.

When Barrier No. 112 and Barrier No. 113 collapsed, they were attacked by the test subjects, and the death rate exceeded 80%.

Although the barriers are now rebuilt, the total number of these two new barriers is no more than 100,000.

In the first battle of the Li, Yang, and Qing, it was difficult to count the number of casualties. There were also a large number of civilians who fled to the Central Plains and the Northwest, causing a large population loss.

As a result, there were even tens of thousands of people in some of the original Li's barriers.

Qing Yi had already returned to the front line at this time. As the highest military commander, the commanders of the three armies needed to report directly to him.

Perhaps the soldiers and officers below did not know what they were going to face, but Qingyi was very clear.

Fortunately, fortunately, Qingzheng explained to him that the missile unit must separate the missile and vehicle. Otherwise, after the artificial intelligence invades the missile unit's military base, I am afraid that Qing's missile would have fallen on his head.

These days, Qing's troops tried to send more than a dozen reconnaissance teams to go deeper in the forest, trying to count the number of enemies and the speed of travel as much as possible.

However, all the reconnaissance troops fell to nothing.

Qingyi stopped this meaningless move after confirming that all the investigative teams were lost in the rear command.

Just as the military base No. 012 was invaded, the enemy they faced was not only humans, but also sparrows in the sky.

Ordinary investigation plans are no longer effective. No matter how many people are sent to investigate, it may be a meaningless sacrifice.

In the rear headquarters, the conversations between all the generals and the combat staff were lowered, as if a low air pressure suddenly enveloped here.

Qingyi stood in front of the huge sand table model and watched silently.

Qingzhen put him in this position not only because of his close relationship with him, but also because of his gratitude to his uncle for his relief.

But Qingyi himself possesses the qualities of an excellent commander. He may not be able to see the long-term view like Qing Zhen, but when directing on the spot, few people can control the details.

Suddenly, Qingyi said: "Using companies as a unit, with a depth of 45 kilometers, set up a stress-type outpost outside the defense line to deliver orders."

When the chief of staff in the command heard this sentence, he knew the role of these outposts.

After all investigative methods failed to work, these temporary and crude outposts were like nails stuck in the mountains beyond the defense line.

Their role is to use the radio station they carry to act as an early warning for the main line of defense in the rear when the enemy really arrives.

In a war, if the enemy's intelligence can be learned an hour or two hours in advance, it will be a completely different result.

Even if the defensive position is first-level combat readiness, most of the soldiers will be in a state of rest. If everyone is kept tight at all times, the soldiers will collapse before the enemy arrives.

Therefore, this two-hour period is the largest buffer zone.

However, this also means that the soldiers at the outposts will be the first victims of the war, and no one will survive.

These two hours were exchanged for the lives of all soldiers in the outpost.

There will always be sacrifices in war. What Qingyi has to do is to ensure that every sacrifice is meaningful.

The chief of staff asked in a low voice: "Sir, can we win this war?"

Qingyi glanced at the chief of staff and said, "This is not something we have to consider now."

The Chief of Staff was stunned for a moment. In fact, this sentence itself meant that Qingyi was not sure about this battle: "Sir, what are we going to consider?"

"Think about how much time we can buy for the rear," Qing Yi said.

At this time, apart from being busy cooperating with the military dispatch, the Qing’s various hub departments in the rear did the most thing to burn classified documents.

Everything is carried out in secrecy, and all secret-related units are monitored and blocked by secret forces under Xu Man's command.

Many people with a sensitive sense of smell perceive this as a sign of retreat.

Some people tried every means to transmit the information, but the secret troops under Xu's command were more elite than they thought, and they were better at doing this kind of secret mission.

...

At the junction of the northwest and the central plains, the soldiers of the 218 Outpost were standing on the hillside at the gate of the outpost, urinating in a long line, preparing to urinate further than anyone else.

The farthest is the winner, the nearest is the loser.

The squad leader looked at the soldiers around him, and couldn't help feeling that he was indeed a bit old...

A soldier next to him who urinates the farthest asks: "Squad leader, you are going to lose, you are willing to bet, you can admit it."

The leader of the squad said with a bad breath: "Say what you want, I can't give you a gun."

"I want your medal," the soldier thief smiled. "I heard that you got it during the battle with the Zong clan?"

"No!" The team leader denied, "You really dare to speak, it was Lao Tzu's life in exchange for it. At the beginning, someone paid 50,000 yuan, Lao Tzu didn't sell it, you change one!"

"Then give me the picture of your sister," the soldier said.

The team leader immediately became angry: "You are also worthy!"

The soldiers on the side laughed and lifted their trousers: "Your kid must want to take the picture of the squad leader's sister again..."

The team leader said in a huff: "Get out of here to get physical fitness!"

"By the way, the squad leader, have you met the marshal? I heard that the marshal also participated in the Zong clan's battle," the soldier asked.

Although the outpost is not too far away from barrier 144, they sometimes go to barrier 144 during their shifts, but they do not belong to the sixth field division, but belong to Zhou Yinglong’s unit designation, so they don’t have anything to do with Ren Xiaosu. Intersection.

Originally Ren Xiaosu was already a young commander in the Northwest, and his reputation was already very high. After the Sixth Field Division defeated the Wizarding Nation, Ren Xiaosu's reputation reached its peak.

Therefore, anyone who may have had an intersection with Ren Xiaosu will be surrounded by others to ask about the gossip about Ren Xiaosu.

As soon as the team leader in the outpost heard this, he immediately became energetic: "When we were fighting the Zong clan, the marshal and I were both in the forward camp under Master Zhou. He was in the sharp knife company and I was in the second company. At that time, the first day the young marshal came to the forward camp, he gave the forward camp to the troubled Ji Fei Gou..."

A soldier curiously asked: "Squad leader, you said that the young handsome is so strong, how far can he pee? Have you been compared with him?"

The squad leader looked at the soldiers under his anger: "How dare I compare this to him? Isn't that humiliating myself?"

"Also..."

"We are so close to Barrier No. 144, we don't know if we have a chance to see the marshal in the future."

"What do you think? We are border guards here, so how can we meet a big man like the marshal."

This outpost facing the Central Plains is different from the outpost facing the Wizarding Nation in that the environment here is not so bad. You can also plant Chinese cabbage, green onions and other vegetables near the outpost.

A sentry post usually has 30 people and has complete infrastructure: physical training equipment, small canteen, newspaper area, dormitory barracks, toilets, and **** incineration tank.

At this moment, a soldier suddenly saw a person rushing up the mountain quickly: "Someone is coming, there is no uniform, there is only one person."

"Combat preparation," said the squad leader, "beware of an attack by the extraordinary!"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the team leader felt that something was wrong, because the more he looked at the figure, the more familiar he became: "Wait, it's the young handsome!"

Ren Xiaosu climbed all the way to the post, and it took only a few minutes from the time the sentry found him to when he boarded.

In front of the gate, all the soldiers looked at him with excitement.

However, Ren Xiaosu didn't care about these, but said to the team leader: "Which unit is it?"

"Zhao Shuai, the forward camp of the 173rd Regiment of the Third Field Division!" the squad leader replied, standing straight.

Ren Xiaosu nodded: "I'm Ren Xiaosu, the sixth field division, do you keep the communication open at the outpost?"

"Unblocked," the squad leader nodded frantically: "All the border posts are connected to telephone lines and will not be affected."

"Connect me to the 178 fortress headquarters," Ren Xiaosu said.

The team leader hurriedly ran back to the outpost to make a call, and then the operator transferred the line to the 178 fortress.

When it was connected, Ren Xiaosu entered the room and picked up the phone, while the others all left the room, waiting consciously outside the door.

Such direct calls to the headquarters are classified as classified, and ordinary soldiers naturally have no right to listen.

Ren Xiaosu listened to Zhang Jinglin’s familiar voice on the phone, and said briefly: “Central Plains has fallen. I preliminarily judged that the entire Central Plains has fallen into the hands of Wang’s artificial intelligence. Their troops are slowly advancing to the northwest. I believe The Southwest should be the same."

On the phone, Zhang Jinglin was silent for a while and said, "I see."

"I will wait another day in this post to observe the enemy's movements, and if I have something to do, I can call here," Ren Xiaosu said.

"Yeah," Zhang Jinglin said, "Call again later, you should take a break."

After speaking, Zhang Jinglin hung up the phone.

There was not much communication with each other, Zhang Jinglin did not doubt whether Ren Xiaosu's judgment was accurate, and Ren Xiaosu did not ask Zhang Jinglin how he was going to react.

Over the years, both sides have known the roots, and Ren Xiaosu believes that as long as the news is passed back, Zhang Jinglin will definitely make the most correct decision.

Ren Xiaosu walked out of the post. Only then did he have time to look at the team leader: "Hey, have we met?"

The squad leader immediately became excited, and the soldiers on the side confirmed that the squad leader hadn't bragged with them before.

The squad leader stood at attention: "When you were in the sharp knife company, the marshal, I was a third-class soldier in the second company."

"That's it," Ren Xiaosu smiled: "Where is the dormitory, I need to take a rest."

It has been nearly 48 hours since he assisted Luo Lan, Ren Xiaosu hadn't closed his eyes. He needed a good sleep before facing this more dangerous world.
