"The Indians ran away?"

Suddenly hearing the news, Rao is Xu Yanxin was calm, and he still couldn't help but want to scold his mother.

The battle, while fierce, was not sinister. In order to intercept this frenzy of monsters, the combined forces of various countries have been prepared for a long time, the powerful war machine of mankind has been activated, the long-range artillery has intercepted most of the monsters, and the front-line infantry is not difficult to repel the monsters as long as they hold on step by step.

At this time, Xu Yan was so hateful that his teeth itched, and he asked, "Is the news accurate? It can't be a misunderstanding, right?"

"Commander Xu, the third platoon has been confirmed, and they have also sent scouts to see that the Indian position on the right is indeed empty!"

"Report to Command immediately!"

Company Commander Geng reacted at this time, he rushed into the company headquarters at a trot, and immediately called the command headquarters. Fortunately, although the artillery fire was fierce, the communication was not cut off, and Company Commander Geng smoothly contacted the regimental headquarters and reported the news of the escape of the Indian troops on the right flank.

"What? You say it again! The Indian army has retreated? The Indian army command has not informed us about this... Are you sure? You can't be mistaken, can you?"

Obviously, knowing the news of the escape of the Indian army, the command was equally shocked and surprised. Even across the phone line, Xu Yan and Geng Jun could feel the chaos on the other side.

Geng Jun almost shouted into the microphone: "It's confirmed! Our scouts went over to see that the position of the Indian army on the right flank has been lost, and not a single soldier can see it, and now there are monsters over there!" Headquarters, there is a major crisis in the defense line of our right flank, we are seriously threatened, and we request an immediate retreat!"

The command headquarters did not answer immediately, and waited for two minutes before a male voice came through the microphone: "632187, the regimental headquarters does not agree to your application for retreat! Your company must continue to hold the position according to the original order! Without an order, if anyone dares to abandon the position without authorization... What battlefield discipline is all about, you should know!"

"But the Indians have already run away!"

"Indian soldiers can run away, but Chinese soldiers can't do such things!"

The voice in the microphone paused, and there was a grim chill in it: "Comrade Geng Jun, the situation is very dangerous, now is the critical time of the battle, the Indian army suddenly retreats, if your unit also retreats, it will cause the position of the second battalion and the second company of the left wing of your department to be seriously threatened... That's a chain reaction that could even bring the infantry at the front to a complete collapse!

What's even more terrifying is that the artillery units in the rear will be forced to directly face the onslaught of the monsters! Once the artillery units collapse and the intercepted artillery fire stops, human beings will have no power to stop the monsters from advancing towards Tokyo.

Now, we have informed the Self-Defense Forces that they will send a force from the reserves to your right flank to reinforce and close the gap in the position, but it will take time, at least an hour!

Comrade Geng Jun, you are a party member, we have all sworn an oath, and you are on the battlefield! Our predecessors persisted in fighting under even more difficult and desperate circumstances, and did everything for the sake of victory! Please don't let your predecessors be disgraced!

Command you, no matter what, hold your ground until reinforcements arrive!"

“。。。 I see. ”

When the call ended, Company Commander Geng looked down at the table, pursed his lips tightly, his face was pale, and he was speechless for a long time.

Looking at Company Commander Geng Jun, Xu Yan was also silent, but he knew in his heart that the decision-making of the command was not wrong.

Now the matter has become a matter of success or failure in the entire defensive campaign. If the first company also retreats with the Indian army, the gap in the position will only get bigger and bigger, and this chain reaction may lead to the collapse of the entire front.

Without the cover of artillery fire, the nearly 100,000 human troops stationed on the Hakone defense line were all slaughtered meat, and they could not resist the attack of the demon tide at all, at that time, it was an unprecedented massacre, and the second Hakone fiasco was just around the corner.

A thousand miles of embankment was destroyed in an anthill. Compared with the success or failure of the entire battle and the safety of nearly 100,000 human coalition troops, the life and death of a company of more than 100 people is no longer in the consideration of the command. Even if a company is sacrificed, as long as they can exchange reinforcements for the whole situation to plug the gap for an hour, this is enough.

Intellectually, Xu Yan can understand the approach of the headquarters, but the problem is that the person who is now being asked to sacrifice is Geng Jun... Xu Yan also understands Company Commander Geng Jun's complicated feelings at the moment.

Xu Yan shook his head silently: "No way." ”

He handed a cigarette from his pocket, and Geng Junlian took it and pinched it between his fingers. He looked at the cigarette steadily, but he didn't smoke it, but pinched it hard until it was powdered and shredded.

"Commander Xu," after a long silence, Geng Jun finally spoke, his voice was muffled and deep, like coming from the cellar: "The order of the command headquarters is for us a company, and your establishment does not belong to our company, so you don't have to stay here." I remember that the order I gave you was to return to the command immediately, right? ”

Cultivators pay the most attention to the understanding of the mind and the clarity of the Dao heart. Leaving his comrades behind and fleeing without a fight, Xu Yan couldn't do this kind of thing. He said angrily: "Old Geng, when is it, let's stop talking nonsense, let's be serious! If the monster comes from the right flank and rushes straight to our position, can you hold it?"

Geng Jun shook his head in frustration: "Commander Xu, you also see that our fortifications are all in the direction of Hakone, and we are not prepared for the loss of the flanks in advance. ”

"Then let's do it now!Old Geng, how many reserves can you draw out in your hands?"

Geng Jun settled down, and he counted with his hands: "I have a firepower squad and an infantry squad in my hands, which were originally used to prepare a reserve to fill the gap, plus the company's communicator and cooking squad, so that I can draw out a total of more than 30 people." ”

"I have fifteen cadets here, although they are new recruits, they can still shoot, and they are all handed over to you! In this case, we can pull out more than fifty soldiers, which is almost an infantry platoon. You quickly pull them all to the right flank and set up a flank line. ”

"But they didn't have heavy machine guns or infantry guns... ”

"Hurry up and transfer the machine gun team from the other platoons! We don't need to hold on for long, just support until reinforcements come!"

was drunk by Xu Yan, Geng Jun woke up like a dream. He finally calmed down: "Commander Xu, I think like this: at a position one hundred meters east of the third platoon, organize a defensive line facing the right flank, and the defense line will not be a word defense, but will be replaced by several fortress defenses, relying on the No. 6 to No. 11 safe houses as cover, and the heavy machine gun team of the third platoon will be arranged on the roof of the No. 6 safe house, and then a machine gun team will be transferred from the second platoon to arrange it in the No. 11 safe house bunker, and the infantry will be scattered in several safe houses for cover shooting, covering the machine gun team- I think that in this way, we will have two machine gun groups at both ends of the position to form crossfire, which is the main support point of our defensive line, and then turn the searchlights around... Although this line of defense is a little rough, it may be possible to hold on for an hour against a small group of scattered monsters.

Captain Xu, do you think this is okay?"

Xu Yan shook his head: "Old Geng, I don't understand this kind of positional tactics." On defense, you can decide for yourself, you don't have to ask me. However, remember to tell the warriors that reinforcements will be coming soon, so let's take it calmly and don't panic. ”

"Understood, Captain Xu!"

Although Xu Yan asked Geng Jun not to worry about him, in any case, at this critical juncture, a deputy division commander-level leader personally sat in the company, which really greatly calmed people's hearts.

With Xu Yan watching by his side, Geng Jun immediately had confidence. He made an urgent dispatch, sent a messenger while making a phone call, and urgently notified the reserve team to assemble and mobilize equipment, and he turned around and shouted: "Commander Xu, the machine gun team of the second platoon has been drawn out and put in place... Huh?"

Geng Jun was empty behind him, and there was no one left. Xu Yan, who was still sitting behind him just now, is now nowhere to be found.

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

The artillery fire was roaring in the distance, the wind and snow were urgent, Xu Yan held a sword in one hand and stepped forward in the snow.

The positions of the Indian army were littered with abandoned waste: bullet casings, machine gun parts, clothes, lunch boxes, playing cards, magazines, and huge searchlights stood alone high in the position, but the lights were extinguished. Heavy machine guns and mortars were still on the ground, but the soldiers who operated the weapons were gone: Xu Yan came all the way and didn't see a single person, neither living nor corpse.

Xu Yan frowned and sighed: the Indian army actually collapsed without any casualties, abandoned its position and fled. A battalion of Indian soldiers, who traveled thousands of miles to Japan, just to make trouble for their own people?

Although the Indian infantry abandoned their positions and fled, the artillery interception in front of the positions did not stop, and in the sharp whistling, the flashes of shell explosions continued, and the earth trembled slightly.

Through the flash of the shell explosion, Xu Yan saw hordes of black shadows appear on the positions of the Indian army through the continuous wall of artillery fire, through the interception of mines and barbed wire. There were shadows in the darkness, and countless green eyes were like ghost fire from the netherworld.

The monster also found Xu Yan. In the darkness, a pitch-black figure swooped in with a strong wind, and the fishy wind was blowing!

Xu Yan's eyes flashed with coldness, the sword in his hand spit out, and the white light flashed, only to see a soft sound of "pop", a blood flower bloomed in the air, and the monster was simply cut off by the sword, and fell to the ground with a "pop".

Xu Yan looked at the monster under his feet and frowned slightly: This is a monster that has never been seen before. It has black skin, smooth skin, and looks a bit like a cat, but it has a large cleft on its back, and dense tiny teeth grow on the edge of the cleft, and the edge of the fissure is still oozing white mucus, which looks very disgusting.

"The last time I traveled to Hakone, I hadn't seen this kind of monster, so I guess this is a new monster from the demon world. ”

Thinking that every moment, countless monsters were coming to the earth from the Demon Realm through the gaps in time and space, Xu Yan suddenly felt gloomy. But at this time, he didn't have time to think about it, the wind was gusting in the dark, and the monsters were rushing towards him from all directions, and the bloody wind was blowing.

Fortunately, after many wars, Xu Yan is no longer a rookie who was in a hurry. Although it was dark, under the induction of the monks in the foundation building period, this environment was no different from daylight for Xu Yan, he could clearly grasp every monster that pounced, and released the sword in his hand.

"Sneer~~sneer~~sneer~~sneer~~"

In the sharp and dense sound of breaking wind, the cold light of the sword bloomed on the snow in the dark night, and in front of the invincible sword, a large number of monsters were torn and cut like pieces of paper, and filthy blood, limbs and internal organs splashed everywhere, and they were sprinkled on the white snow one after another, and the blood was red and black.

In the heavy snow, Xu Yan pressed his sword forward, moving forward, one after another monsters were shattered and torn apart under the sword, and the hundreds of monsters could not hinder his pace in the slightest!

Xu Yan walked forward quickly with one sword and one sword, and everywhere he went was a bloody storm, in front of him, there was a surging group of monsters, and behind him, there were large pieces of corpses and blood.

Coming all the way to kill happily, Xu Yan wanted to sing loudly, he was very glad that he chose sword cultivation at the beginning, and thought: "Maybe Fa Xiu also has a very strong power, but how can there be this kind of 'kill one person in ten steps, and don't stay for a thousand miles' heroic and chic?"

After ten minutes of effort, Xu Yan walked more than a kilometer along the empty Indian army position, killing as he went, and killing all the monsters along the way. At this time, he saw the light of the searchlight reappear in the distance, saw the rising sun flag fluttering above the position, and heard the gunfire and human voices on the position—before he knew it, he had completed the entire abandoned Indian army position, and had approached the position under the responsibility of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces.

Seeing that the position of the Japanese army in front of him was still normal, Xu Yan breathed a sigh of relief and stopped: "A battalion of Indian troops fled, and the gap in the position where the defense was abandoned was only one kilometer. It should still be possible to defend this kilometer of defense line by yourself and remove the monsters that have infiltrated it, and you should be able to hold out until the reinforcements arrive. ”

Since the Japanese defense line in front is still normal, there is no need to pass. Xu Yan was about to turn around, but at this moment, suddenly his eyes lit up, and the strong light was so dazzling that he couldn't open his eyes: it turned out that the Japanese army in the distance had discovered him, and the searchlight column on the position shone straight on his body.

Using a high-intensity searchlight to illuminate people, in normal times, this kind of behavior must be very rude, but in wartime, it is understandable and normal behavior, Xu Yan is not angry - changed himself, in the dark when he was fighting with monsters, suddenly a living thing ran from the side position, and the Self-Defense Forces just used searchlights to shine and did not directly use machine guns to scare themselves, which was already considered to be very restrained.

Under the searchlight, Xu Yan did not dodge, he just raised his hand to cover his eyes, and shouted in English: "Is it the Self-Defense Force? I am from the Chinese military advisory group, and I have come to contact you!"

Xu Yan shouted twice in a row, and the Japanese army obviously understood. After a while, the sound of a loudspeaker sounded over the positions of the Self-Defense Forces, and someone shouted in English: "Raise your hands and walk slowly!"

Xu Yan walked over obediently, and the searchlight followed him. It wasn't until he approached the position that several Self-Defense Force soldiers came out from behind the position, and they cautiously approached Xu Yan with automatic rifles.

Seeing that these Japanese soldiers were very nervous, Xu Yan was very worried that they would shoot with a snap of their fingers - although Xu Yan had put on a protective cover, he was shot at close range, and the loss of the aura cover was also very large, and Xu Yan was really unwilling to wear it out like this for no reason.

Therefore, he took the initiative to speak and shouted in English: "Don't be nervous, I'm not a monster, I'm an officer of the Second Infantry Battalion of the Military Advisory Group of the Chinese Army, and I'm here to contact you... What kind of army are you?"

While speaking, Xu Yan took out his military ID card and held it high.

Hearing that Xu Yan could speak human language and showed his military ID, the Japanese soldiers were relieved. A soldier who took the lead turned his head and made a gesture, shouted, and the searchlight pillar shining on Xu Yan's body moved away.

The Self-Defense Force soldier said in English with a strong accent: "We are the 9th Mobile Company of the 2nd Infantry Wing of the 3rd Division of the Self-Defense Forces, and I am the squad leader, Second Lieutenant Kasuga Samura. Mr. Chinese Army, the Indians have fled—uh, retreated without permission, this section of the position has been lost, there are monsters everywhere, may I ask Mr. Chinese Army, how did you get through their positions?"

Xu Yan said calmly: "The Chinese army has just cleared the monsters on this position... The line of defense is safe for the time being. ”

Ensign Zuo and the two soldiers looked surprised, and they all shouted: "The monster has been cleared, but we have not heard the sound of gunfire or battle! How did you do it?"

"However, the monsters that were still here just now, they have indeed disappeared!"

"Indeed, the monster is indeed gone... Excuse me, is it your Chinese army that is responsible for the defense line of the Indians?"

Xu Yan nodded: "Exactly." We have also discovered the retreat of the Indian army, and we have reported it to the command, and reinforcements will come soon to replenish the defense. Until reinforcements arrive, we'll take over the defense of the area. So, rest assured, don't panic, your flanks are safe. ”

"That's great!" The Japanese soldiers were relieved to hear that the Chinese army would come over to make up for the defense. Second Lieutenant Zuocun shouted: "Damn the Indians, they are just shit! They actually dared to flee like this, this is to kill us! Our flank was attacked by monsters, and we were about to retreat, but fortunately you came and took over the position... By the way, which unit of the Chinese army are you?"

Hearing Lieutenant Zuo Village's answer, Xu Yan was secretly glad that he had come in time, otherwise the Self-Defense Forces in this section would have to retreat, and the gap in the defensive line would become bigger and bigger. He replied casually: "I am from the second battalion and the first company of the military advisory group of the Chinese army... ”

"You only have one infantry company, and you have to be responsible for such a long defensive line?" Second Lieutenant Zuo Mura was surprised, and he said: "It turns out that the Indians stationed here are a whole infantry battalion! It wouldn't be too forced, would it?"

In fact, not an infantry company, but only one person.

This kind of thing is too appalling to say, Xu Yan was afraid of telling the truth, but he scared the Japanese company away, so he could only say vaguely: "Because of the urgency of the situation, we can only draw out one company." But rest assured, there will be no problem, and we will definitely hold out until reinforcements arrive. ”

Hearing Xu Yan say this, the Japanese officers and soldiers were immediately in awe. Second Lieutenant Zuo Cun and the two soldiers were both on the ground, bowed deeply, and said with respect: "It is really remarkable that it is worthy of the Chinese army! Compared with you, the Indians are simply shit." Excuse me, do you need help taking over the position, do you need us to help defend some of the positions?"

There is only one company of the Japanese army in front of them, and the troops they can draw out to support themselves are only about 30 people at most, and for a defense line of more than one kilometer, this amount of strength is just a drop in the bucket, and they have to worry about their safety, but it is a drag.

Therefore, Xu Yan simply refused: "Second Lieutenant Zuochun, you don't have to be polite." Please stick to your original position, and leave the matter to us. ”

"Hey, Mr. Chinese Army, please rest assured! As long as you can hold it, we will never retreat!"

There was a roar of artillery fire and gunfire in the distance, and this was clearly not the time for a polite chat. Xu Yan hurriedly said goodbye to these Japanese soldiers and turned back.
