The train with coal and water started slowly, and the train with a large amount of grain unloaded was left with only a few dozen wagons, and soon accelerated to 80 kilometers per hour, and headed towards the capital like a lightning speed.

From Tongji City to the capital, there is no scenery to see along the way. Some of them are just endless shacks of all kinds that can not be seen at a glance.

Yes, refugees, countless refugees.

All the people in the escort procession, some in the front of the car, some on the roof of the car, looking at the scrawny people standing in the shacks or walking slowly, could not say a word.

The monk looked out of the car dumbfounded, and kept repeating in his mouth: "Amitabha, Amitabha......"

"There are too many, just seeing these dozens of kilometers, I'm afraid there are hundreds of thousands of shacks. Gong Xue muttered.

I took a deep breath and said, "Excellence, contact Xijing and ask where the first batch of grain is." ”

Excellence answered and went to the passenger compartment to make a report.

Qi Ming hugged my arm and said, "I asked clearly, the grain in the northeast was stuck in Shanhaiguan, and the Ni people organized millions of troops to block the road to the customs." ”

Gong Xue turned to me and explained: "The Ni people should have besieged Shanhaiguan for a while, but fortunately, in order to protect the monuments more than ten years ago, the customs tower and city wall were rebuilt rescued. ”

I nodded and didn't speak.

On the front line of Shanhaiguan, only along the Great Wall to fight against the Nepalese people to ensure that the Nepales do not enter the northeast. But the risk of doing so is that the capital will not be able to get supplies from the Northeast, and I have long thought about this problem.

Not to mention the southeast, where the war is currently scorching. Although the Eastern Theater has achieved a lot of successes, it cannot stop too many Nepalese and their vassal troops from coming from the sea, and the Nepales who are currently defending coastal defense and clearing Jiangnan are too busy to take care of themselves.

The Western Theater is currently fully engaged in border defense. After all, the number of troops going north is limited, and the strategy of the Second Army of the Special Administrative Region to penetrate a wide range and sweep away the South and Central Asian Ni from west to east will take time.

Rubbing my forehead, I said to Gong Xue: "Go, tell Zhuo Zhuo, contact Longshou Mountain, transfer to the Second Army, be sure to overcome difficulties and speed up the attack." In addition, one or two divisions were dispatched and rushed to the capital. ”

Gong Xue hesitated: "Do you need to report to the central government when you transfer troops to the capital?"

I paused, looked out the window, and made up my mind instantly.

"Transfer first, and after arriving in the capital, I will personally ask the leader for instructions. I said.

When the train entered the station, a group of refugees surrounded the station, and the soldiers standing guard formed three lines and forcibly surrounded the refugees outside the station.

I stepped off the train and was greeted by a colonel from the Gyeonggi Garrison.

Returning the salute to the colonel, I said, "I don't have food." ”

The colonel's face darkened, but he still said, "Commissioner Xu, No. 1 sent me to pick you up." ”

I turned around and said, "Excellence, go see where the escorts are." ”

Excellence turned on the walkie-talkie, and after a while, the walkie-talkie came with the sound of Zhu.

"Your Highness, we are already outside the station. Over here...... It's so miserable. Zhu's voice was already crying.

I was shocked, but I still took the microphone and said, "Call all the people of the hunter team to enter the station and wait on the train." You stand by where you are. ”

Then he turned to the colonel and said, "I don't need you to send it, I know the place." Go back and tell your commander, get ready for battle, and ...... the goal," I paused, and then said, "Shanhaiguan." ”

The colonel was shocked, saluted me, and said, "Yes." Then he turned and departed.

After leaving the station, I took Zhuo Zhuo directly into Zhu's off-road vehicle, and all the members of the Honghu team, including monks, Xiao Chengzi and Fang Honggang, got on the bus and drove straight to Chang'an Avenue under the opening of the police car.

Zhu Bian drove and told me what he had seen and heard along the way, and he choked up several times during this period.

I stared grimly at the fairly clean road outside the car and the refugee gathering areas that were divided on both sides of the road.

At minimum consumption, nearly two thousand people starved to death every day.

The elderly, women and children are dying in large numbers.

There is a phenomenon of eating and eating.

This is all information gathered by Zhu along the way.

"Don't say it. I yelled in anger.

"Master. Excellence exclaimed worriedly.

"Where's the Divine Realm Master?" I said to Excellence.

After opening the railway passage, I ordered the Divine Realm Master to attack and advance to the east and occupy Immortal Island as soon as possible.

Xijing's reply telegram informed that the first batch of grain and alternative food was only 5,000 tons, and it would take two days to reach the capital. The next batch of grain will not arrive until a week later.

However, the population of the capital plus refugees is 20 million, and 5,000 tons of grain is just a drop in the bucket.

At present, it seems that the only way to change the order is to let the Divine Realm Division attack northward until the Great Wall and open the passage between Shanhaiguan and the capital as soon as possible.

After all, there is still a large amount of grain piled up in Shanhaiguan, and from Shanhaiguan to the capital, there are only 300 kilometers.

When I arrived at the leader's residence, I jumped out of the car and hurried inside.

Anyone who stood in my way was bounced away by my protective immortal power.

Excellence shouted anxiously from behind, "Master, Master......"

When I got to No. 1's office, he wasn't there.

A secretary stood tremblingly at the door and said to me, "It's Commissioner Xu, the leader is in the back garden." ”

I turned and walked towards the back garden, and when I reached the entrance to the garden, I froze.

Under the scorching sun, the leaders are working.

The land in the garden was all leveled, about 100 square meters, and it was planted with sweet potatoes.

I saw a few guards, bending over, pulling weeds in the field.

"Leader, I'm coming. I muttered.

As soon as he turned around and saw me, he calmly took off his gloves and handed them to the guards.

When he walked to the ground, he changed his shoes, washed his hands by the sink, and then walked up to me, smiled and stretched out his hand, and said, "Good work." ”

I held out my hands and just shook his hands.

I haven't seen him for two years, and his hair is completely white, and dripping sweat is spilling from between his hair.

I looked at the seventy-year-old's high, bulging cheekbones and bony shriveled arms, and my eyes turned red.

"I'm not dead, what are you doing with a sad face?" he said with a smile.

I turned around and yelled at the secretary, "That's how you take care of the leader?"

The secretary shuddered.

But he straightened his face and said, "What are you yelling at?"

I said, "Leader, I have already ordered the Divine Realm Division to move towards the Great Wall, and another one or two divisions from the Second Army will be mobilized to rush to the capital. I now ask you for instructions, tonight, I will lead the Gyeonggi garrison and the Divine Realm Division to attack Shanhaiguan, and strive to open the passage tomorrow and bring in the grain from the northeast first. ”

The leader waved his hand and said, "Go to the office and talk." ”

When I entered the office, the leader sat down on a chair, took out a box of cigarettes from under the coffee table, threw it to me, and said, "Let's smoke." ”

I lit my cigarette and took a muffled puff.

He leaned back in his chair and looked at me with a smile.

"I grow sweet potatoes myself, and they produce a lot of money. Don't underestimate the little land in the back garden, it can ensure that half of the people here will not starve to death. He laughs.

"When I first contacted you, why did you say that there was no problem in the capital?" I said.

"If I say that there is a problem in the capital, the whole country will be in chaos. He still laughs.

"Do you want to use the capital as bait to attract millions of troops from the Ni people in order to relieve pressure on other places?" I said, taking a hard drag on my cigarette.

"The Ni people are just outnumbered, and they are not afraid of death, so they have no other advantages. ”

I put the butt of my cigarette in the ashtray and asked, "There is only one army group in the Gyeonggi garrison, how can you hold the capital?"

"It's harder. He said lightly: "Old Qiu, you should have seen it." High-end combat power, with Hong Yingmen to deal with, compared to the number of people, I have 20 million people. ”

I looked at him in surprise, and although I had already guessed the strategy of the capital, I still couldn't believe that this sentence came out of his mouth.

He stood up, walked to the window, looked at the sky outside the window, and said: "This is the Great Patriotic War, a national battle that will decide the life and death of the Chinese. ”

Looking at his figure, I couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

"Some of us have been comfortable for so long that we have forgotten our morality and national righteousness. He turned around and said to me.

"What do you mean?" I asked, hesitantly.

"Fortunately, they forgot, I still have you, and the Immortal God Realm. He then said with a smile.

Without waiting for me to answer, he walked quickly to the table, picked up a pen and wrote a few lines and handed them to me.

I took it and looked at it, and it read: Order, Xu Jinyue is the interim commander-in-chief of the national armed forces. Order issued by: Dong Bicheng. ”

I raised my head in surprise, but he waved his hand and said, "This has been discussed and decided a long time ago, and you will step down after the elimination of the Nepali people in the country." ”

After a pause, he added, "This is the last appointment for you. ”

Walking out of the residence, I said to the people who were waiting anxiously at the door: "Gong Xue took a bus back to the station and told the hunters that the mission was over and they could go back to the Special Administrative Region." ”

Turning around and getting into Zhu's off-road vehicle, I said to Excellence: "Excellence informs, we will go to the Gyeonggi garrison now." ”

The Gyeonggi Garrison should have received the order, and after Excellence revealed his identity, we came to the garrison office building unimpeded.

Before I arrived at the conference room, I heard someone shouting: "What are you going to fight? We want to fight the troops of the Immortal God Realm, we are now enough to defend and abandon the city wall to attack, this Mr. Xu has a lot of brains?"

The conference room was filled with noise.

Another voice said: "Why can't we fight? We still have 200 tanks and nearly 500 artillery pieces of various types, besides, we still have missiles, even if the missile navigation cannot be used, our own territory, can't we calculate a parameter and enter it manually?"

I glanced back at Excellence and Zhu, both of whom looked at me with serious expressions.

He was about to go in, but he heard a strange voice saying: "I think this commander-in-chief Xu wants to exhaust all our family funds so that we can surrender to the Niren." If this is the case, it is better for us to surrender first. ”

I smiled and walked into the conference room.

I saw a group of officers gathering together in groups to smoke.

When he saw me, he quickly put out his cigarette and walked to his seat and stood up.

I smiled and stood at the conference table.

"Salute. A middle-aged general at the head of the row shouted.

I raised my hand and saluted the people in return.

"Report to Commander-in-Chief Xu, the cadres of the 98th Group Army at or above the division level should be 39 people, but the actual number is 38 people. Reporter: Li Chengwu, please give instructions to Commander-in-Chief Xu. ”

I smiled, took off my hat and threw it on the table, and said, "Sit down." ”

After everyone sat down, I smiled and said to Li Chengwu, "Which one didn't arrive?"

Li Chengwu said: "It is Yuan Minglang, the commander of the One Hundred and First Division, who is on duty on the city wall. ”

I nodded, and then said, "Report on the troops." ”

Li Chengwu frowned and asked, "What kind of situation does the commander-in-chief want to know?"

I smiled and said, "All of them." ”

Li Chengwu thought for a moment and said: "At present, there are more than 80,000 troops, including five armored infantry divisions, a rocket force detachment, a special operations brigade, an army aviation brigade, and 16 logistics units. At present, there are still two hundred tanks, nearly five hundred artillery pieces of various types......"

Listening to Li Chengwu's report, I frowned.

At present, only the east and north sides of the capital are attacked by the Ni, and the troops are rotated, and only one division is defending the city wall every day.

"Why don't you attack Shanhaiguan?" I asked without waiting for him to finish his report.

"We have been fighting for three years, and our soldiers are almost all new recruits in these two years, and the overall quality is much worse than before. Besides, we have been fighting a battle to defend the city wall for more than a year, and we have never attacked. Li Chengwu did not hesitate.

"Defensive troops?" I asked curiously.

Li Chengwu said: "It's not just about defense, every once in a while, we will send regiment-sized troops to do tentative attacks, or special operations teams will attack and reconnoitre. Just ......"

"Just what?" I asked.

"There is a strict order from the superiors that they are not allowed to attack at will. Li Chengwu said.

"Oh, the capital is coming directly to you?"

"It is indeed an order from a superior, signed by a leader. ”

I fell silent, frowned, and tapped my hand on the table.

"How many troops have each division attacked?" asked Zhu from the side.

Li Chengwu looked at me, and I nodded to him.

"Probably one or two regiments. Li Chengwu replied.

I revised the manuscript paper that Zhu handed over, handed the manuscript to Zhuo Zhuo, and said, "Read the order." ”

Zhuo Zhuo stood up and said: "Order, the 102nd Division, 103rd Division, 104th Division, 105th Division, and 106th Division of the 98th Group Army, each with a regiment, and the Special Operations Brigade, Army Aviation Brigade, Tank Detachment, and Artillery Regiment of the Group Army, will attack at 12 o'clock tonight." Target, Tangshan. The sortie routes of the various units shall be drawn up by the general staff of the group army. Xu commanded and directly followed the 102nd Division. Complete. ”

There was silence in the conference room, and after a while, Li Chengwu asked tentatively: "Commander-in-chief, military department?"

I smiled and said, "Except for the staff to follow me, the rest of the personnel are left behind, the defense of the capital is lost, and I will cut off your head." ”

Li Chengwu said speechlessly: "Can you change someone to stay?"

"Oh?" I asked curiously, "what do you mean?"

Li Chengwu straightened his chest and said, "Report to the commander-in-chief, I want to go out for a walk." ”

Everyone looked at him with a smile.

I smiled and said, "Agreed." ”
