Chapter 59: On the way to retreat

The highway was so congested that we had to turn to the provincial road. I grabbed a traffic policeman wearing a red armband and asked what the situation was, and the traffic police said that the city government had set up a retreat headquarters, and now it was a deputy mayor who went to the countryside to inspect and escaped the catastrophe when the Ni people raided the city government.

When I took Chen Guoan and Zhu Lili to a temporary grass hut on the side of the provincial highway at the retreat headquarters, I found that several people were making a lot of noise, and what was even more surprising was that one of the noisy people was actually the leader of my unit.

"It's all at this time, what kind of command are you still listening to?" said a man in a loud voice.

"The troops of the provincial capital are rushing here, let the people wait on the spot for the order of the provincial capital, what is there to fear about a few Ni people, as soon as our troops come, they will fall apart. Another voice said.

I stood outside the hut and listened for a while, and heard the meaning of a few people.

The first leader and several other people were the heads of several large enterprises, and they organized the employees and their families to retreat together, wanting to retreat all the way to the provincial capital. But the command meant to organize the population to wait on the spot for the army to come.

I walked into the hut, and sure enough, I saw that the first leader and the secretary were there, and the others had all met at the meeting of the city government organization, and across from me was a young man in his twenties wearing glasses.

When the secretary saw me, he hurriedly came over and held my hand and said, "Lao Xu, it's great that you're fine, Deputy Director Liu and Deputy Director Li are both ......."

I shook his hand, turned to the leader and said, "It's very good that you can organize the cadres and employees of the unit to retreat together." I've just spoken to Chief One, so I'll get in touch. ”

The leader nodded and said, "You are the highest level in this room, so you should give the order." ”

Ignoring the secretary's surprised eyes, I walked over and shook the young man's hand and said, " Hello, my surname is Xu, from the Immortal God Realm Special Zone, a few hours ago the No. 1 chief appointed me as a special member of the Politburo and a special member of the Central Military Commission, I order you, immediately organize the common people, advance to Longshou Mountain, there is a garrison division to receive you into the Immortal God Realm Special Zone, and please send someone to report to the provincial government, ask them to organize all the people south of Longshou Mountain to retreat to Longshou Mountain, enter the Immortal God Realm Special Zone in an orderly manner, and contact the army leaders who can be contacted, and bring the troops to Longshou Mountain to assemble. ”

The young man looked at me with suspicion and said, "Are you a special member of the Politburo?"

I smiled and said, "The appointment papers should have arrived at the provincial government." If you have a satellite phone, you can check it right away. ”

The road was soon cleared, and the vehicles and personnel went to Longshou Mountain in an orderly manner under the organization of government personnel and leaders of various units.

I asked Chen Guoan and Huang San to retreat with their men and the families of the escort. And I stayed at the end with the convoy, serving as a rearguard with an armored brigade from the Southwestern Theater of Operations, which had just arrived.

The commander of the armored brigade is a northeastern man in his thirties, named Dong Changhao, and his voice is very similar to his physique. After verifying my identity and checking the armament of my escort, he unceremoniously drove the command car to the back of my bus.

"Lao Dong, is it appropriate to build a containment station here?" I asked, standing on the second floor of the bus, holding up a binocular.

"Commissar Xu, this is a small basin, there are exits on three sides, I have released a reconnaissance company and drones, there is no enemy twenty kilometers to the south, and now one of my regiments is continuing to search and advance south. Dong Changhao said.

"First of all, we must ensure the safety of the people, and at the current rate, the hundreds of thousands of people behind will not be able to reach Longshou Mountain until at least the day after tomorrow. I said.

Dong Changhao said disappreciatively: "Commissioner Xu, with us here, tens of thousands of Ni people are not afraid." Raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a while, we usually eat the common people's and use the common people's, but now hundreds of thousands of enemies have entered the country, causing the sacrifice of the common people, which is really a shame for us soldiers. ”

I said, "I don't blame the army for the fact that the Ni people have entered the country, but we must not be careless in dealing with these Ni people. ”

Dong Changhao said: "I understand, the military commission informed the army on the western border that they fought very hard and suffered heavy casualties. We have also made some targeted measures, and the fighters are modifying dum shells. The army aviation in the theater was dispatched the day before yesterday, and it is said that it used cloudburst bombs, and the results were very good, but the local economy suffered great losses. ”

I nodded and said, "If the house is broken, you can build it again, and then destroy the enemy first." Be prepared for hand-to-hand combat, and be prepared to suffer some casualties. When I arrived at Longshou Mountain, I would have replaced it with a special armor-piercing bullet. ”

Afraid of something, soon the news spread from the front that Dong Changhao's regiment had been defeated and retreated.

Dong Changhao grabbed the pistol angrily and jumped into the command car, I hurriedly followed, and said, "Don't be impulsive, I'll go with you to have a look." ”

On the way, he met the commander of this regiment, and said to Dong Changhao in shame: "Regiment commander, these Ni people are not people, they use ordinary people as meat shields. ”

I followed them to a trench twenty kilometers away and looked out with a telescope.

Sure enough, hundreds of Ni people were pressing thousands of people on the hillside and slowly moving forward, a few people walked a little slower, and the Ni people behind rushed up with a knife.

I said with a calm face: "Old Dong, notify the troops, get on the bayonet." ”

Dong Changhao was red-eyed, picked up the sapper shovel and said to the regiment commander: "Inform the brothers, put on the bayonet, the first wave of cadres, the second wave of party members, and everyone else, including the repair office and the cooking class, are all given to Lao Tzu." ”

I pulled out my bayonet and said to Dong Changhao: "You don't need to get on these hundreds, you follow us, send drones to see how many are left." ”

Turning his head to Zhu Lili, he said, "Inform your father to tie his pockets, the two wings of the escort team will be outflanked, and you will rush to the front with me." ”

Dong Changhao was about to say something, but then he was stunned to see me pull out the long sword behind Zhu Lili's back, jump up, and fly straight forward. Zhu Lili, this kid is even more stylish, he didn't even use a flying sword, he ran a few steps, and flew directly into the air. The Immortal Clan of the escort stepped on the flying sword, and the Protoss took off their robes and stood up, and walked forward in a puff of smoke.

In mid-air, I saw the common people and nuns below looking up at me and Zhu Lili. I pointed under the bayonet in my hand, and was about to go down, but I heard Zhu Lili open his mouth and roar: "The Immortal Realm Wuzhong Heavenly King, the chosen person of the Divine Realm, the Lord of the Immortal God Realm has arrived, and you will not kneel down and die." ”

I couldn't cry or laugh, and scolded Zhu Lili: "Nonsense, nonsense, kill." ”

Zhu Lili shouted: "Kill." Falling down with the convoy, I said to the people who were still dumbfounded: "Run, there will be an army behind you to meet you." ”

Only then did the common people react and run forward desperately.

I pulled the bayonet out of the chest of the last nun standing and watched him slowly fall.

When I turned around, I saw Zhu Lili squatting next to the corpse of a nun, pulling the head of a nun with one hand, looking at something.

I walked over and said, "What are you looking at?"

Zhu Lili said: "It's strange, how can the teeth of this Ni person be similar to that of a divine beast. ”

I followed his hand and saw that the teeth of the Ni people were very sharp, and there were eight of them, two more than the beasts.

I patted Zhu Lili on the shoulder, stood up and said, "Let's go." ”

At this time, there was the roar of machine guns in front, and I hurriedly climbed up the hillside, but I saw that the people who were all over the hill were running up the hill, followed by countless Ni people, and the people who ran slowly were killed by the Ni people with spears and big knives, and some of the Ni people kept firing guns, and the people suffered heavy casualties.

Zhu and the giants used machine guns to form a barrage with Gatling, and the nits behind them kept falling, but more nits emerged from the opposite hillside.

At this time, the men of the armored brigade rushed up the hillside, and I said to Dong Changhao: "Tell the follow-up troops to drive up the tanks and armored vehicles, and we will rush down first to suppress the Ni people." ”

Dong Changhao said loudly: "Yes". Then he turned back and called the messenger to convey the order, turned around and said, "Brothers, rush down with me to stop the enemy." ”

A group of soldiers with steel helmets rushed down with bayonets and roared angrily, and I was about to follow, but Zhu Lili grabbed me and said, "Your Highness, you are here to command, watch us perform." ”

I looked around at a few of the guards, and they were all looking at me eagerly. They had been around me since the beginning, barely making a move, presumably to protect me.

I nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, if I'm here, you'll all be tied, then you can go, I'll give you a sweep here." ”

The warriors used bayonet techniques, in groups of three, first firing a shuttle bullet, and then using shiny bayonets to continuously stab the Ni people. The Ni people are not very accustomed to this style of play, and they have been hit one after another, but they have rough skin and thick flesh, and they are extremely vicious, and they will continue to attack without stabbing the vital point.

The guards are swords in their hands, and they kill the nuns like mustard. And the fireballs and ice swords also flew towards the Ni people all the time, and soon cleared a large area.

Tanks and armored vehicles finally arrived, and after a roar, the offensive of the Ni people on the opposite side was contained.

Dong Changhao hung up his color, his arm was bitten by a nun, and he was also left with a knife wound on his thigh. He ran to me while holding a sapper shovel and beckoning to rescue the wounded, and said with a gloomy face: "Member Xu, the casualties are not small. ”

I said, "You guys are doing a good job, and I will report to the Military Commission to ask you for credit." ”

Dong Changhao took off his steel helmet and said: "Forget it, don't ask for credit, the brothers have sacrificed more than 100 people, injured more than 200, and killed so many people, this battle has not been fought." ”

I patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, after all, more people have been saved." Protect them from retreat. We will build a defensive line there in the valley, and we must hold out until noon the day after tomorrow. ”

Back in the valley, Dong Changhao arranged the affairs of the position and invited me to participate in the battle summary.

When I arrived at the temporary headquarters of the armored brigade - a large urgently repaired cave halfway up the mountain, I found a dozen officers sitting on small mazzards with their heads drooping and not in a very good mood.

I poked my head out and said to Dong Changhao, "What about the political commissar of your brigade?"

Dong Changhao said: "The political commissar went to the capital for a meeting, isn't this martial law in the capital before the opening is over, and the war zone asked me to temporarily replace me." ”

I patted him on the shoulder and said, "You're not qualified as a temporary commissar." ”

Ignoring his embarrassment, I walked to the front and said: "Comrades, my surname is Xu, everyone should know it, I am a special member of the Politburo and a special member of the Military Commission appointed by the Central Committee. ”

The officers looked up at me in bewilderment.

I smiled and continued, "Because I am from the Immortal God Realm Special Zone, I have a little ability, and I am called the Lord of the Immortal God Realm by the people of the Immortal God Realm. So in a broad sense, I am what the common people call immortals. ”

The officers laughed.

I smiled and said, "Actually, before I was forty years old, I was an ordinary employee of a central enterprise, and I was also an ordinary party member. Therefore, like you, I do not believe in gods or immortals. ”

The officers looked at me strangely, not understanding what I meant.

"Today I heard a soldier say that these Ni guns are very difficult to kill, like devils from hell. But are we exterminating thousands of these demons today? So these nuns are just physically different from us, and it takes a bit more effort to kill them. But they will bleed, they will be wounded, they will die, so what should they do? It is easy to do, if they can't be killed with one shot, they will be shot ten times, and if they can't be killed with one stab, they will be poked a few more times, and they will always be destroyed. I know that there are some casualties today, and everyone is in a bad mood, but everyone has to think from another aspect, that is, our sacrifice today has been exchanged for the lives of tens of thousands of ordinary people. ”

The officers' heads were raised, and I saw some sparkle in their eyes.

I took a sip of the mineral water handed over by Zhu, and then said: "I have never joined the army, so I don't know what you think, but what I want to say is that judging from your performance today, you are worthy of the title of the people's soldiers, and I have reported to the Central Committee to ask for credit for you." ”

The officers' eyes lit up.

I smiled and said, "I don't understand military matters, but my escort captain is the commander of the Eastern Front of the Immortal God Realm's Genshin Mirror, and he is working with you to summarize today's battle, hoping that you can summarize an effective way to deal with the Ni people." Everyone must speak and take notes, and when they go back, they must make it clear to the soldiers that our priority is to protect the people, but at the same time we need to fight smarter, destroy the enemy more effectively, and reduce our own losses. ”

Dong Changhao took the lead in applauding, and the officers all looked at me eagerly.

When I walked out of the tent, at Dong Changhao's suggestion, Zhu had already stood in front and began to speak.

Numerous bonfires were lit in the valley, because the tents were given to the people behind the mountain, and the warriors slept around the campfires with their clothes on.

Zhu stood beside me and said, "Your Highness, the country has educated the army very well. ”

I nodded and said, "My country and my people can stand tall in this complex and ever-changing world, and these soldiers are the greatest guarantee. ”

Zhu nodded and said, "Longshou Mountain has sent a regiment of troops to us, and the other Sanguan Third Army has sent a division, which has also entered Longshou Mountain, saying that it will take you back to the Immortal God Realm to preside over the overall situation." ”

I turned my head and said: "Nonsense, tell the army of Sanguan to retreat to Longshou Mountain and strengthen the defense, after the regiment from Longshou Mountain comes, ask them to protect these tens of thousands of people and retreat into the immortal god realm, and we will retreat to Longshou Mountain after we complete the blocking task tomorrow." Tell Liu Mingwen and Lao Liu that it is their task to guard Longshou Mountain and not let a single nun go north. ”

After the summary meeting, as soon as Zhu sent me back to the bus, I saw Dong Changhao running over quickly, shouting: "Member Xu, Member Xu, something is wrong." ”

I was shocked, hurriedly got out of the car, and said, "What's the big deal?"

Dong Changhao panted and said: "I caught a Nepalese, oh no, it's a Nepalese who ran over." ”
