August 15, 2014, 10 a.m., Hakone Front.

It was obviously a clear sky, but there was a muffled thunderous echo in the distant western sky, and the muffled thunderous sound continued for more than ten seconds, shaking the car windows and trembling slightly. The men and women in the car followed the sound to the window where the noise came, and there was only a clear sky.

"This is the sound of a Type 96 122-mm howitzer. Liu Jian, a staff officer of the regimental headquarters sitting in front of Xu Yan, turned his head and explained to Xu Yan with a smile: "Our Type 96 howitzer is different from the Type 99 howitzer equipped by the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, which is the sound of firing submunitions. With this cannon sound, experienced veterans can hear it at once. Commander Xu, it should not be far from the artillery position of our troops. ”

Xu Yan nodded indifferently, and he looked out the window at the field. In the far western sky, a pitch-black cloud appeared, this pitch-black dense and impermeable wind, with no end in sight, formed a sharp contrast with the blue sky.

The land covered by black clouds is Hakone, the sad place where Zhu Youxiang disappeared, and she has come back again.

Hearing Staff Officer Liu's introduction, there was a commotion among the young men and women in the car. Coming out of the bustling and peaceful city of Tokyo, the car had been driving along the highway for less than an hour, and the scene of war suddenly appeared unexpectedly.

"Commander Xu, it's almost time to get to the ground, should we emphasize discipline to the students again? Why don't you give everyone a lecture in person?"

Xu Yan took off his sunglasses and said with a smile: "Staff Officer Liu, I don't need to, just tell everyone." ”

"Okay, then I'll say it. If there is something wrong, please correct it. ”

Staff Officer Liu Jian got up from his seat, he held a loudspeaker in his hand, which is the kind of megaphone commonly used by tour tour guides, and coughed dryly: "Ahem, comrades of the trainees of the teaching team, everyone be quiet! Just now, everyone heard the sound of artillery, not far ahead, is the destination of our trip, the artillery position and combat headquarters deployed by our military advisory group on the Hakone front!"

Comrades, Deputy Regiment Commander Xu personally led you to the front line for actual combat practice in his busy schedule, this is the training plan that Deputy Regiment Commander Xu personally formulated for you, and it is a great opportunity for you to learn from experience and enhance your strength, and you should cherish it!

I know that many of the comrades here have just been recruited from the local government, and they have not been soldiers for a long time, and the discipline of this frontier cultivation has already been said before departure, so I will not repeat it here, and everyone must remember one thing: In the Yokota base, if you make a mistake, the instructor will only punish you for running, but from now on, we will enter the war zone!

When you enter the war zone, you have to enforce military discipline, and if you make a mistake, you will really die! Either at the hands of those monsters, or at the hands of our own battlefield pickets -- everyone must keep this in mind!

It is forbidden to leave the unit without authorization, to act alone, and not to leave a designated area without permission! In all actions, it is necessary to obey the orders of experienced noncommissioned officers and commanders at higher levels, and it is forbidden to enter the combat position without permission! It is forbidden to interfere with comrades in the combat position! It is forbidden to approach or touch technical equipment without permission! It is forbidden to frolic when holding a gun, and it is strictly forbidden to use the muzzle of a gun at a person -- we have already issued these detailed rules of discipline, so please take a serious look at them!

Comrades, you are all elite talents selected from thousands of miles in China, and you will be the pillars of the country, and your future is immeasurable! I do not want any casualties in this training, and I hope that all 20 trainees will return safely... ”

Before Staff Officer Liu's lecture was finished, several soldiers with loaded guns and live ammunition wearing white helmets and picket red armbands had already appeared on the side of the road, waving red flags and signaling the bus to stop for inspection.

The bus stopped, and the pickets got on the bus and immediately recognized Xu Yan. They immediately saluted and reported: "Deputy Regiment Commander Xu, our headquarters is in front, about five or six miles away. Do you need us to show the way?"

Xu Yan got up and saluted back: "No need, we have a guide, know the way, you continue to stick to your post." By the way, how has the battle been going these days? Have you ever encountered a monster?"

The person who questioned was his deputy regiment commander, and the pickets had no scruples: "Regiment Commander Xu, we are responsible for road picketing near the headquarters, and we are specifically responsible for inspecting vehicles coming and going, and we can't see monsters here." It's just that you have to shoot every day, sometimes for an hour, sometimes for hours. For so many days, the command opened fire only once, and that was an anti-aircraft machine gun hitting a passing strange bird. That day, several strange birds were struck down - the strange birds were so big, the wings were spread out, as long as two people standing together, and their claws were so sharp that they looked like knives, and they were scary to look at. ”

After passing the picket checkpoint, the bus continued on its way.

The scene of the battlefield became more and more obvious, and in the open space on both sides of the road, there were busy soldiers, continuous camp tents and camps, machine gun positions, armored vehicles, tanks, artillery, and helicopters.

It is the first time that many people have seen such a spectacle of so many weapons and equipment being placed in the open air without concealment. Most of the cadets of the teaching brigade were young boys and girls who had just joined the army, and they flocked to the car windows to watch, and from time to time they let out bursts of screams or exclamations.

Seeing this scene, Xu Yan was a little surprised, and he asked: "Staff Officer Liu, the equipment is placed in the open air like this, and it is so densely placed, there is no concealment or cover at all, this is a violation of the regulations, right? Our headquarters and artillery positions are so close, this seems to be very wrong." ”

"Captain Xu, this is not surprising. Our previous combat regulations were all for humans, so we needed to disperse and conceal. But now, since the opponent is a monster, they have no long-range artillery and no air force bombing, and we still insist on dispersion and concealment, this is unnecessary, and it will only hinder the combat efficiency in vain.

Not only us, but the Japanese Self-Defense Forces have also revised their combat regulations a long time ago, and they have now abandoned the requirements of air defense and concealment, and have arranged their positions according to the principle of maximum efficiency. In order to facilitate transportation and communication, their infantry positions, logistics units, command units, and long-range artillery units are all densely packed together, and they are all unconcealed! Let's joke that if there is an artillery company on the monster's side, a rapid fire can completely reimburse a division of the Self-Defense Forces. ”

In front of a stretch of tent area, the bus stopped. When Xu Yan got out of the car, he saw that Chief of Staff Shen Nianzu was already waiting in front of him with several familiar staff officers from the regiment headquarters, Xu Yan stepped forward to shake hands with him: "Chief of Staff, I've been waiting for a long time." ”

"Deputy Xu, welcome over, it's been a hard journey. ”

"We don't work hard, Chief of Staff, you are fighting on the front line!"

"Ahem, we're at war... Well, Regiment Commander Xiong went to the infantry position in front to check, I stayed at the command headquarters, Lao Xiong asked me to pick up Deputy Xu, he will come back at noon, let's have a meal together then. Tell you, Deputy Xu, Lao Xiong has two bottles of Xifeng wine and has not been willing to move, so we will open him at noon!"

The head of the advisory group, Xiong Xiawu, and the chief of staff, Shen Nianzu, led part of the troops of the advisory group to the Hakone front to participate in the battle, while Xu Yan stayed at the Yokota base in Tokyo. Now, when we meet again on the front line, we all feel quite cordial, and everyone is familiar with each other.

At this time, the trainees of the teaching brigade also got off one after another. Looking at the boys and girls wearing camouflage uniforms and carrying black striped packages behind them, Chief of Staff Shen Nianzu was a little surprised, and he asked: "Commander Xu, this is the student of our teaching brigade, right?

Hearing this question, Xu Yan rubbed his nose, his eyes looked at the sky, and he replied, "It's a sword." ”

Shen Nianzu had an expression of disbelief: "Sword, sword of sword?"

"Well, the sword of the sword. ”

Looking at the strange eyes of the chief of staff of the advisory group, Xu Yan felt that he was about to explode with embarrassment - it is estimated that in the eyes of the other party, he must be a psychotic person who still carries cold weapons to the front line in the 21st century, when aircraft and missiles are flying all over the sky.

Fortunately, Shen Nianzu didn't ask the bottom of the question, he said: "Deputy Xu, I heard that you are going to bring the teaching team over for special training, we don't know how you want to train, but we will fully cooperate with you." How to deal with this matter, you will instruct, and I will be responsible for implementing it. ”

Shen Nianzu did not continue to dwell on the issue of "sword", Xu Yan was still very happy. He nodded: "Then Chief of Staff Lao bothered, my idea is to let these little guys see blood." The specific arrangement depends on the arrangement of the chief of staff. ”

"See blood?" Shen Nianzu was a little dazed: "Deputy Xu, what do you mean, let them kill a few monsters? If that's the case, it's simple, I arranged for them to go to the artillery battalion as trainees, anyway, now the Japanese side provides enough shells, and they need to shoot every day, I let them each fire a few cannons, and they should be able to kill a lot of monsters." ”

"Chief of Staff, my special training is a little special, not only to let the students kill monsters, but also to use cold weapons to kill, you have to let them kill with their own hands, face to face, so as to achieve the purpose of exercising body and mind and courage, to achieve the effect of special training!"

Xu Yan was talking nonsense in a serious manner, and he felt that his proficiency in telling lies had skyrocketed.

Shen Nianzu frowned: "Can't you hit with guns?"

"No, you can only kill with a sword. ”

Shen Nianzu looked at Xu Yan with that kind of neurotic look again, but fortunately he didn't laugh, just frowned and thought for a while, and asked, "Deputy Xu, are you serious?" I see that these students are not very old, many of them are still female soldiers, and their physical fitness is estimated to be enough. If you have to fight those monsters in close combat, you are afraid that the casualties will be small. I heard that your teaching brigade is a good seedling selected from a thousand miles, and if the casualties are too great, I am afraid that the superiors will not agree. ”

"That's why I ask the chief of staff to bother and make a thorough plan, which can not only give our students the opportunity to fight the monster in person, but also try to avoid casualties. ”

"Deputy Xu, your request is really embarrassing, I have to think about it. Deputy Xu, you and the students have worked hard all the way, and when we get to the ground, let's eat first!"

At noon, the head of Xiong Xiawu rushed back from the front line and gave Xu Yan a simple catch wine in the canteen of the position - the conditions on the front line are simple, and it is said to be a catch wind, but in fact, it is just a few lunch boxes with vegetables and two bottles of wine, and the three of them squatted in a tent to secretly open meat.

According to the regulations, senior commanders are not allowed to drink alcohol during wartime, but the advisory group is abroad, and the regiment commander, chief of staff, and deputy head of the advisory group are already the supreme commanders of the advisory group, and the political commissar is not there, and no one is qualified to supervise them - in fact, Xu Yan is very suspicious, even if Lin Danmei is here, he will most likely look for a cup while saying that he will not make an example.

Of course, whether it is the regiment commander Xiong Xiawu or the chief of staff Shen Nianzu, they are not ignorant people, they dare to drink at this time, in fact, because the battle is not fierce - according to Xiong Xiawu's words, it is simply stuffy urine.

While eating, Xiong Xiawu introduced the situation on the front line to Xu Yan: "The battle situation is very calm. Our infantry position is twelve kilometers away from the Demon Domain, and the area between our infantry and the Demon Domain is now completely uninhabited. Now, 24 hours a day, drones and ground radars are covering all aspects, as long as they find something alive, they will immediately send the bearing, and the artillery will open fire, and after the bombardment, there will be nothing left, even if there are some sporadic ones, the forward infantry can clean up.

Deputy Xu, this is really heartwarming to say. We squatted here to monitor the Demon Domain area, and every day we looked at the empty no-man's land in a daze, boring and boring, and we didn't know how long we were going to stay up this day? The grassroots soldiers below have opinions, saying that the elite troops armed with the most advanced equipment in our country are finally the security regiment that acts as guards here!

This kind of thing can be done by casually transferring a few second-line artillery battalions, but the main front-line troops like us are asked to come, staring at that no-man's land all day long, which is too boring. Deputy Xu, you are familiar with the first acquaintance, reveal some inside information: How long are we going to stay here?"

Everyone gets along well together, knowing that Xu Yan is not a person who likes to make small reports, Xiong Xiawu doesn't have many scruples when he speaks, and he speaks a lot boldly.

Xu Yan thought to himself, Xiong Xiawu was really in the midst of blessings, and he didn't know the blessings. Most of the monsters that came out of the Demon Covered Area were wiped out by human surveillance fire, Xiong Xiawu felt that it was too boring, but Xu Yan felt that this was actually a good thing. If there is a guy who can't even deal with artillery fire, then it's troublesome.

Quietly waiting for the gap in time and space to disappear, waiting for the natural disaster to end—for Japan and for all of humanity, this is the best outcome.

He smiled and said: "Commander Xiong, don't be kidding, how can my deputy know about things that you don't know? I haven't cared about these things recently, and I'm busy training the cadets of the teaching brigade." ”

Hearing the trainee training, Xiong Xiawu's eyes froze, he turned his head to look at the battlefield canteen outside, looking at the group of young trainees who were eating quietly, he asked: "Deputy Xu, when it comes to trainee training, I have something I want to ask you - Deputy Xu, I heard them say, your teaching brigade is dedicated to cultivating cultivators? In the future, these children, they can also become powerful cultivators like you, not only have various abilities, but also live forever?"

Xu Yan also glanced at the students outside, and he said frankly: "The country really hopes so, and I will try my best to teach and teach them, but how much they can learn and what kind of height they can reach depends on their own efforts and qualifications." It's not possible, some people have good talent and will become stronger than me in the future, that's also possible. ”

Xiong Xiawu's eyes flashed, and he was silent. Shen Nianzu interjected: "Deputy Xu, in this case, are there any requirements for becoming a student of the teaching team? Do I need to take an exam?

"At present, the trainees of the teaching brigade are all selected by Xu Banlai, and I haven't asked or know how they are selected, I am only responsible for training and teaching. ”

"That's it... Xiong Xiawu and Shen Nianzu glanced at each other, and the two of them groaned, both of them looked thoughtful, pinching the cup in their hands and frowning.

Xu Yan also saw something, he took the initiative to touch the cup with them, and said with a smile: "Commander Xiong, Chief of Staff, what is the matter with you? They are all comrades-in-arms who are in the team together, so we don't have to be polite, let's see if I can help?"

Xu Yan took the initiative to suggest, and Xiong Xiawu and Shen Nianzu both felt relaxed. Xiong Xia Wu Zhengse said: "I'm really embarrassed to open this mouth with Vice Xu... Yes, I have a child at home, 19 years old this year, this guy is not stupid, usually academic performance, physical fitness or something is okay, now he is studying at Jiaotong University in Shanghai, and he has won a prize in the university's sports meeting.

And Lao Shen's family, there is also a daughter, who is also 19 years old this year, and she is also a high-achieving student with excellent character and learning, and is now studying at Beijing University.

Let's discuss, now millions of college students graduate every year, college students or something, it's not uncommon now, but to be a cultivator, it should be more promising.

The two of us pondered, if these two children can enter the teaching brigade as Xu Deyi's students, it will definitely be better than continuing to study in college, but how to enter the teaching team, we don't understand, I want to ask Xu Deyi for help. ”

Shen Nianzu nodded incessantly and looked at Xu Yan expectantly.

Xu Yan smiled and said, "Commander Xiong, Chief of Staff Shen, you two are suddenly so serious, it really scares me, what kind of big deal should I be." You are all leaders of the advisory group, and if you want to arrange for a student to be included in the advisory group's teaching team, isn't that a matter of one sentence?

Shen Nianzu shook his head seriously: "Head Xu, you have never cared about these things, you may not be clear." Although the teaching team is under the name of our advisory group and is also in the base of our advisory group, they are really not under our control - whether it is personnel, funding, training and command, the teaching team is independent, they only listen to Xu Ban's orders, and we really can't interfere.

Last time, we also asked the person who did Xu Ban if we could help arrange a student, but the other party was hesitant and never had an accurate word. Later, we inquired, good guys! China said that the number of students in the advisory group has been speculated in China to tens of millions, where can we get so much money? There is no way, we can only ask Vice Xu to see if there is a way... ”

Shen Nianzu was about to continue, but at this time, Xiong Xiawu glanced at him, and he came to his senses, stopped talking, and said with a dry smile: "Deputy Xu, I also heard the news, those people just said that, it may not be true, don't worry about it-uh, I drank too much, punish myself! Come on, Deputy Xu, drink!"

Xu Yan held the cup, but didn't drink it. He groaned slightly, shook his head and said, "Xiong Tuan, Shen Shen, we have known each other for so long, and we are not outsiders anymore." What is going on between 'Xu Ban' and me, you two should also know. Although my name is on this department, I really don't know what exactly they are doing, and I can't say anything at all. ”

Xiong Xiawu and Shen Nianzu both looked gloomy - they have been together for so long, and they have also understood Xu Yan's temperament, and they know that Xu Yan is a very quiet and easy-going person, which is indispensable, and it is completely incompatible with the serious and demanding style of "Xu Ban". Xu Yan said that he couldn't be the master of Xu Ban, which is really not a lie.

Xiong Xia Wuqiang smiled: "It's okay, Deputy Xu, let's just say it so casually, it doesn't matter if it doesn't work out, you don't have to be embarrassed... ”

Xu Yan resolutely interrupted him: "That's not what you said! I can't control what Xu Ban's people want to do, but your business, that must be done." In this way, Xiong Tuan, Shen Shen, you all give me the name, ID number, and school information of the children in your family, and I will let someone do it now. ”

Xiong Xiawu and Shen Nianzu were stunned, they were all surprises. They hurriedly reported the information, Xu Yan sent a text message to Huang Xi, and then called: "Huang Xi, have you received the text message? These two people, our teaching team wants it! You ask Xu Ban to go through the recruitment procedures over there, and ask them to bring them to Japan as soon as possible... Well, let's just say that I mean, these two people are good seedlings that I fancy and are very talented, and they must be recruited, otherwise it will be a loss for our country!"

After hanging up the phone, Xu Yan said lightly: "Okay, Xiong Tuan Shen Shen, when you go back, you will first say hello to the children at home, and let them prepare to go abroad first, it is estimated that it will only take a day or two, and the people of Xu will go to them." ”

Xu Yan solved the matter of being embarrassed for so long, and Xiong Xiawu and Shen Nianzu were very excited. But both of them are the kind of hard-nosed soldiers, and they don't know how to express their gratitude, so they can only toast Xu Yan desperately one cup after another to express their hearts, which makes Xu Yan cry and laugh.

Xiong Xiawu shouted with his tongue out: "Deputy Xu, in the future, that kid from our family will join the teaching team, he will be your soldier, you must not scruple me, just him to death! Scold when you should scold, beat him when you should beat, you just take the belt and whip it, I don't want you to pay for your life if you are killed! This little rabbit cub, coaxed by cowhide at home, wearing a pair of tattered jeans and playing a broken ji, thinks this is a personality - hum, when I enter the army and meet the instructor, I want to see if this guy can still have a personality?"

Shen Nianzu's face was also flushed from drinking, he climbed Xu Yan's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Deputy Xu, you were not honest just now!"

"Chief of Staff, what do you mean by that?"

"Deputy Xu, you said earlier that you have been teaching the team all day long and cultivating disciples behind closed doors, regardless of what is going on outside, but the Japanese newspapers have said that you are on good terms with the beautiful host of their Fuji TV, and the Japanese paparazzi have taken photos of you hugging other beauties... Deputy Xu, you are cunning and cunning!"

"This matter," Xu Yan smiled awkwardly: "It's more complicated... ”

"What's so complicated, men love women, it's normal for people to love!" Shen Nianzu laughed: "I know, this kind of thing, Minister Wen will definitely come to you for trouble, he is afraid that you will be co-opted and corrupted by the Japanese!"

According to me, they are too suspicious, and there is no need for this kind of worry at all! If you want to vote for a foreign country, there are so many opportunities, and if you want to vote, you will already vote, so why wait until now? The United States, Europe, Japan, so many countries are tempting you with money, and you are not tempted, and a mere Japanese woman can move your heart!

Don't the Japanese want to make the beauty sugar-coated cannonballs? Let him go! Soak as much as you should, go to bed when you should go, eat it all and wipe it clean, what can the Japanese do with you?

Don't be afraid of Xu Ban's verbosity, what can they do with you as a national meritorious hero? If you get in a hurry, you take off this military uniform and go back to China to run a training class for cultivating truths, with a quota of 10 million students, and the parents who sign up can travel a few kilometers, and you can receive hand cramps when you collect money! When the time comes, it will be Xu Ban's gang who will be crying, and without your pretense, how can they still collect black money?

Deputy Xu, we have been in the team together for so long, we have all seen how you are and discussed it in private. Lao Xiong has said that you are a decent person, kind-hearted and conscientious, and you must be a good person! But your only problem is that your temperament is too soft, you can't tear apart your feelings, and you lack a bit of domineering. Normally, it should be Xu Ban who should serve you, but now, on the contrary, they are riding on your head to make a fortune? Isn't this reversed?

Really, Deputy Xu, you listen to me, you really can't be polite to those officials, you have to be scared! Your status is beaten, if you don't scold them a few times, they still think you are a bully!"

Listening to Shen Nianzu's words, the more unspeakable he became, Xiong Xiawu kicked him: "Old Shen, you drank too much! Deputy Xu, don't listen to him, Lao Shen will go crazy and talk nonsense if he drinks too much, don't worry about him." Deputy Xu, how are you going to give them special training when you bring these little guys over this time?"

Xu Yan talked about his request, Xiong Xiawu frowned: "Do you want to have no casualties, and let these little guys kill monsters and blood? It's a bit special!I think,I can only place them in the forward infantry position.,There's a chance to meet a few lone monsters who slipped through the net face to face.。。。 It's just that you let these little hairy kids fight those monsters hand-to-hand, which is still a bit of a big deal. Without guns, even our warriors may not be able to fight those monsters one-on-one. ”

Xu Yan glanced back at the students - this batch of twenty students, Xu Yan has done bone washing for them. According to his own experience, after the bones are cleansed, the body will have a greater improvement, and the strength, speed and other indicators of this batch of students should not be inferior to ordinary fighters.

But it's one thing to have physical fitness, how much can you play in a life-and-death fight, this is another thing, when it comes to psychological quality and combat experience, this group of students must not be able to compare with the long-trained soldiers, really fighting with monsters alone hand-to-hand combat, their casualties are definitely not small.

Xu Yan's heart softened: The students are all raised by their parents, and this is just the beginning of the introduction, so let's reduce the difficulty for them a little more!

He said: "It doesn't have to be one-on-one, you can play more than one." We can deal with a monster with a few students!"

"Is it okay to fight in a group? That's fine. ”

Xiong Xia Wu breathed a sigh of relief, because Xu Yan helped accept his son as a student, he also hoped to do something in return, he said: "In this way, Deputy Xu, you go to the 323 position in front, which is the position where our second battalion and one company are stationed, and the company commander is called Geng Jun, a very honest person." Judging from the reports of the past few days, the probability of them encountering monsters is still not low, and there are battles almost every day. You take the cadets over there, and I will inform them that the company commander will fully cooperate with you. ”

Xiong Xiawu is a fiery person, and when he made a decision, he acted immediately, took the orderly, and personally drove Xu Yan to the 323 position in an off-road vehicle.

The regiment commander and deputy regiment commander personally came to inspect a company-level unit, and the company commander Geng Jun naturally did not dare to slack off and greeted him from afar. Xiong Xiawu lectured him, emphasizing that Deputy Regiment Commander Xu's special training is an important task deployed by the superiors, which is related to the national strategy, and is now arranged in the second battalion and one company, which is a trust in the first company, and the first company must make every effort to do a good job in logistics support and cooperation, if you dare to be a little slack, the regiment will definitely skin him!

Xiong Xiawu grabbed the company commander Geng Jun and washed his ears for half an hour, and finally even Xu Yan couldn't stand it anymore, and broke the siege with a smile: "Okay, okay, Commander Xiong, Company Commander Geng knows, you don't have to be verbose." The headquarters is busy, you can go back quickly, I'll stay here.

Company Commander Geng, in the next few days, the teaching team and I are going to be harassing here, I want to take a look at our position first, can you lead the way?"

Geng Jun glanced at Xu Yan gratefully, and saluted: "Yes, Commander Xu, I'll give you a guide!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The 323 position is said to be a position, but in Xu Yan's opinion, this position is really sloppy enough, there are no trenches, no anti-artillery holes, no protective fortifications, just a half-man-high low wall built in the open space on the side of the highway as a shooting barrier, this is the main position.

This low wall was very long, stretching out from both sides, until it stretched out to a place that Xu Yan's eyes could not see. Every few tens of meters on the low wall, there is a fully enclosed double-storey cement house. There are many such cement houses, they are connected with the low wall, there is one in front and back, dozens of meters, and there are many stars on the position, looking like a beacon tower on the Great Wall from a distance.

Looking at the strange position in front of him, thinking of Staff Officer Liu's words, Xu Yan thought thoughtfully: Yes, different wars require different tactics. This is not a war against humans, and the monsters do not have the means to strike with long-range fire, so there is no need to stick to the trench to avoid cover.

"Chief," Company Commander Geng Jun stood behind Xu Yan, looking at Xu Yan looking at those cement houses in a trance, he hurriedly stepped forward to introduce: "Chief, this kind of cement house is a fixed cover house, which is to guard against large-scale monster waves. Normally, our warriors can stop and shoot at attacking monsters from behind the low wall, but if there are too many monsters and our firepower can't resist them, then our company will have to disperse and retreat into various cement houses.

According to the design, this kind of cement house can withstand the bombardment of scattered artillery, each cement house can live in a squad, which stores enough food, water and ammunition for a squad soldier for a month, there are firing ports in the wall, and each room can also use fire to support and cover each other - in this way, even if our main position is broken, but the troops are withdrawn into this house, we can continue to fight until reinforcements come. ”

Listening to Company Commander Geng's introduction and looking at the cement house in front of him, Xu Yan suddenly remembered the bunker fortifications of the Terrans in the StarCraft game he had played before.

He nodded: "Yes, this design is really practical." Company Commander Geng, is this a method you have come up with on your own?" - Although Company Commander Geng is already a man in his thirties, this does not prevent Xu Yan, who is in his early twenties, from talking to him with a condescending attitude.

Company Commander Geng showed an embarrassed expression: "It's not... Chief, this is the first idea of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, and it is not clear which of their troops came up with it first, but it seems that in three or five days, all the troops on the defense line have learned this idea, and they have all asked for sappers to come and help build houses. Chief, don't laugh, with this cement house, the soldiers are much calmer. In this way, even if the position is breached, everyone will at least have a safe hiding place to wait for reinforcements to come. ”

"Well, Company Commander Geng, tell me about your position?"

"Yes, chief, the frontal width of our 323 position is about 500 meters, from the Yoshino convenience store at the exit of the highway to the 323 boundary pillar on the highway, this is our defense. Our friendly troops on the left flank are our 2nd Battalion and 2nd Company, and our defense troops on the right flank are peacekeepers from the United Nations, a Gurkha infantry battalion from India. Behind us is ... ”

"Behind you is the artillery position and headquarters of our advisory group, I just came from there, I know this. ”

Under the leadership of Company Commander Geng, Xu Yan climbed onto the roof platform of a cement house, which was actually a platform for shooting and looking, with machine guns, searchlights and other facilities, and several soldiers sat in the shade while looking into the distance with binoculars while chatting, which seemed quite leisurely. Seeing that the company commander came up with people, the soldiers hurriedly stood up and saluted.

Xu Yan looked out from the platform, and in the distance was a large open field, overgrown with wild grass that spread below the black clouds on the horizon. And within a few hundred steps of the low wall position, there was a dense barbed wire fence and various obstacles.

Xu Yan's eyesight was far beyond ordinary people, and he saw that on the horizon, there were several moving black spots in the distance. He turned his head to Geng Jun and smiled, "Company Commander Geng, it seems that our luck is really good." As soon as we arrived, you had guests come to your door. ”

As if to prove Xu Yan's words, a shrill siren sounded on the battlefield, and a loudspeaker shouted: "Alert, alert! Unknown creatures are found approaching our position ahead, all combatants enter the position, all combatants enter the position!"

With the alarm bell, the soldiers rushed out of the cover rooms and ran to the firing positions with their guns in hand. In the blink of an eye, the low-walled position, which had just been sparsely populated, was full of people, and the sound of the non-commissioned officers' commands and the sound of "click, click" loading became one.

"Prepare for battle!"
