The First Order

Countdown to the ninth day.

When Ren Xiaosu knew that there were only nine days left in the war, he didn't have the slightest anxiety.

Regardless of success or failure in nine days, whether human civilization can continue in the future, there will be an answer after nine days.

And all he needs to do is to survive these nine days with everyone.

Ren Xiaosu began to inspect the various defense lines, and he was surprised to find that the large number of civilians here were not refugees who had escaped from the four barriers to the east, but residents of Fort 178.

At this time, not only the four barriers to the east, but the remaining nine barriers also began to retreat towards the rear of Fort 178, because the Qing's troops were defeated.

Originally, if only facing the enemy in the northwest, this line of defense might be enough to persist for a while.

However, coupled with the surging crowd from Qing clan, I am afraid that this line of defense will also be difficult to stop the enemy's footsteps.

Therefore, all the residents of the barriers outside the 178 fortress began to evacuate.

However, when everyone evacuated, the residents of Fort 178 came to the front line to help the Northwest Army build a defense line.

I don't know why, Ren Xiaosu can still see a sense of superiority in these 178 fortress residents. It seems that their willingness to coexist and die with the Northwest Army is a kind of glory: they dare to do things that others dare not do.

Of course, this is also due to the atmosphere of the Northwest Army. The soldiers in the 178 fortress are the guardians of the fortress. Everyone knows what these people have paid to protect themselves.

When Ren Xiaosu saw the residents of Fort 178 sitting in the cafeteria to eat after their work, they were still smiling when chatting with other residents, as if they were not afraid at all.

Something strange happened.

When the first wave of refugees arrived at the defense line, the residents of these Fort 178 took the initiative to assist the Northwest Army, organized these refugees to rest briefly behind the defense line, and then continued to evacuate.

Then the residents of Fort 178 will comfort the refugees: the family in the Northwest, after going to Fort 178, everyone is still a family. Don't be afraid. When the Northwest Army has won the battle, we will take home together.

These 178 fortress residents seem to be the role of a psychological counselor, and the refugees who were originally a little hurried are really calmed down.

But the refugees asked, can the Northwest really win, and if they can win, why would they retreat?

Although everyone has a little confidence in the Northwest Army, there will always be a lot of anxiety on the way to escape.

As a result, the residents of Fort 178 said: "You see that the Northwest Army has been fighting with wizards for so many years, is it okay, and now there is a large number of extraordinary people among the marshals, this will be able to lose? You tell me how to lose?"

These two questioned questions directly to the refugees. In this way, everyone feels that the Northwest Army can indeed win. Although they don't know how to win, the victory is over.

After the first group of refugees calm down, the refugees who arrive later will be more secure.

Unconsciously, the most difficult problem of refugees was the first to be solved.

Moreover, the young people among the refugees discussed together that evening, and then collectively ran to the officer in charge of defense line construction and said: We should also participate in defense line construction.

The officer shook his head and replied very directly: Don't make trouble here, there are enough people.

The young people were not happy at the time. They pointed to the residents of Fort 178 and said: Then why can they and we can't?

The officer was wondering at that time, is this a good thing, why are they still rushing to do it?

The uproar of this incident even alarmed Zhang Jinglin.

In the end, Zhang Jinglin decided to set a threshold. As long as male youths between the ages of 18 and 28 can sign up for defense line construction, there is one thing, they must obey the command, and they cannot come to work on a whim. They will feel tired the next day. If you run away, just stick to it.

At this time, the young people stopped making trouble.

Although it is a bit absurd, it is a good thing in the end.

Now the Northwest Defense Line is not stable, otherwise there is no need for the Sixth Field Division to delay time.

Therefore, the construction of this front does require a lot of manpower.

At a combat meeting that night, Ren Xiaosu sat on Zhang Jinglin's left hand and listened to the generals reporting the progress of the defense line.

When Wang Fengyuan reported, he raised a doubt: "According to our calculation of the enemy’s marching speed, we should arrive at the 219 post today, but no enemy was found there. I don’t know what caused them to slow down. process."

"What are your thoughts?" Zhang Jinglin asked.

"I'm worried about what the artificial intelligence is planning, so I plan to send the forward battalion in the hands of Zhou Yinglong to do long-distance investigation. Although it is dangerous, it is necessary to have intelligence," Wang Fengyuan replied.

However, at this moment, there was a report from the combat staff, and Chief Zhang Husheng arrived at the defense line with the last batch of refugees, and there was a report on important matters.

Ren Xiaosu asked the combat staff: "Where is the sixth field division? Didn't it arrive together?"

"Report the marshal, no," the combat staff replied.

Ren Xiaosu's heart suddenly tightened.

Seeing Dahuyou and Fengchen rushing into the command camp, Ren Xiaosu asked, "Who has come with you?"

"Little Jin, Miss Zhou Yingxue, and Wang Fugui," Da Huyou replied: "The Sixth Field Division was led by P5092 to harass the enemy. He said that this line of defense will take another two days to complete, so the Sixth Field Division He has to buy another two days for the rear. Moreover, he judged that a force from the artificial intelligence side has penetrated into the rear. It is likely that it is the nano force that once appeared in Zuoyun Mountain. He wants to eliminate this force."

Ren Xiaosu's fist clenched suddenly.

All the people in the command camp listening to the report of the big flicker took a breath. The sixth field division only has more than 40,000 people. Even if the original Tinder unit has high combat literacy, even if there is a command genius like P5092, it is the sixth field division. Having the most extraordinary people, but holding the enemy forces for a day with the strength of a division is also a very incredible thing.

The goal of P5092 is to hold it for two days.

No matter how the sixth field division did it, everyone must admire it.

After the World War I in Zuoyun Mountain and the World War II, the Sixth Field Division has become the first strongest army in the Northwest Army. Any mention of this unit in other battle sequences can only be moved.

Zhang Jinglin looked at Ren Xiaosu and said with emotion: "You really helped Northwest abduct a lot of talents."

He said this because P5092 could accurately judge the situation in the rear just by reading the defense report, and also accurately guessed what ambush Ren Xiaosu would encounter, and the talent of artificial intelligence infiltrating the rear.

This kind of talent has never been available in the Northwest.

To be honest, the Northwest Army has always relied on blood and energy. Although Zhang Jinglin's command is outstanding, he is still a little short of calling him a famous general.

But the P5092 is different from people like Qingzhen. They were born for war. However, Qingzhen is better at taking a precautionary view of the overall situation. When he reads the defense report, he can think of how much time is needed in the rear, which Qingzhen can't do.

Therefore, from the perspective of a certain war, if Qingzhen, P5092, Wang Shengzhi, and Zhang Jinglin are placed on the same battlefield and lead the same troops, the final victory may be P5092.

Zhang Jinglin said to Ren Xiaosu: "Go and pick up P5092. If he can survive, it would be more appropriate for him to take over the entire line of defense."

Ren Xiaosu nodded: "I will go now."

As a result, Wang Fengyuan said at this time: "No need to go, the 219 post has just returned news that P5092 is taking part of the Sixth Field Division to the defense line and is expected to arrive tomorrow.

Zhang Jinglin said: "All units are stepping up the construction of their own defensive positions. This defensive position must be able to hold the enemy for more than five days. We must not let the efforts of the Sixth Field Division be in vain. In addition, when P5092 arrives at the defense line, Northwest Defense will be temporarily taken over by P5092, and I hope you will actively cooperate."

Under normal circumstances, it is a very complicated matter to ask an "outsider" to take over defense. However, this kind of thing in the Northwest Army only needs a word from Zhang Jinglin.

As for whether P5092 is competent? He has already proven himself.
