On the entire front, there was a strange calm, the imperial army did not launch an offensive for two consecutive days, and the crusaders who locked the defense line also did not attack in these two days.

But no one would think that it would be so calm, even the soldiers on both sides clearly knew that this was just the calm before the storm, and as long as the storm came, it would definitely be even more cruel, and countless lives would definitely be sacrificed for it.

The 2nd Battalion took advantage of the two-day gap to reinforce one after another pillboxes, anti-artillery holes, and hidden soldiers' holes, and countless materials were frantically consumed by the 2nd Battalion, and the engineer company directly under the brigade headquarters also deliberately ran to the position of the 2nd Battalion, during which the entire salient garrisoned by the 2nd Battalion was turned into a cruel meat grinder.

The more this is the case, the more bitter the soldiers of the 2nd Battalion are complaining - Made, once the tranquility is broken, how ferocious will the enemy's offensive be?

The answer came out on the third day.

The Left Front Command conveyed an early warning of the battle situation, warning the Left Front garrison that more than 300,000 enemies had completed their build-up, and this would be a frontal threat that the Left Front would need to face in the future.

After Ye Xiao received the order conveyed by the brigade headquarters, after the battalion headquarters conveyed it, he got into the anti-artillery hole in the battalion finger, signaling that no one would come in, and that he should recharge his energy and rest for a while.

In the anti-artillery cave, the soft light of the magic crystal lamp illuminated the entire cave, but Ye Xiao's mood was a terrible mess!

The experience of the dream gave him more than ten years of experience, and the fourteen years of war also made his heart as hard as iron - before this he felt that for the sake of victory, for the hegemony of the empire, he could not hesitate to put himself to death.

However, at this moment, his mood was very heavy, especially after receiving the war warning just now.

He is not an idiot, he can naturally see clearly that the theater command intends to turn the left and right defense lines of the dividing line into meat grinders this time, and the lack of missiles may be true, but it is probably also true that the theater command deliberately let the left and right defense lines consume the enemy's troops!

300,000 enemies on the left front, then the enemies on the right line must not be less than this number, 600,000 enemies are deployed in fortresses that have been in operation for decades, and hundreds of thousands of people need to be exchanged for their lives, but what if 600,000 enemies give up defense and go on offense?

Using the left and right lines of defense to grind meat, and then launching a thunderous attack after regaining the strength must be a planned plan of the command - in future battles, the headquarters will definitely not send large-scale replacement troops, at most it will use refueling tactics to reinforce the front line of the death battle, giving the enemy a false hope!

Let them see that if they work harder, they can break through the defense line and close the assault group and beat the dogs, even if the Crusaders know that it is fake, but in order not to sit still, they will take it as real and even do their best to achieve their goal.

Very wishful thinking, if nothing else, this magical move turns offense into defense, and will definitely make the left and right defense lines become the meat grinder of the crusaders.

However, what about the imperial army deployed on the left and right lines of defense?

The entire 2nd Battalion, No. 943 before stepping into the battlefield, but now? There are only more than 800 people left, and when the battle is over, how many people will be left in this strong team that Ye Xiao has worked so hard to pull up?

Four hundred? Three hundred? Or two hundred?

Thinking that there were countless people he knew well who would disappear in this battle, Ye Xiao's heart ached, not to mention the countless families behind them, just thinking that they were going to be separated from his yin and yang made Ye Xiao want to go crazy.

The fourteen years of war in the dream world made Ye Xiao a veteran of a hundred battles, and also taught him not to invest his emotions in others as much as possible, so that he could feel good after seeing a familiar stranger die-veterans will do this, where do rookies who complain about the indifference and impersonal feelings of veterans know, it is precisely because they care about fear and lose their losses, so veterans prefer to wrap themselves in cold disguises.

What about Ye Xiao?

After waking up from the dream, with his strong heart and self-control, he slowly shed off the extremely cold camouflage tempered by the war, whether it was in the 101st Brigade, the 102nd Brigade, or now the 2nd Battalion of the 202nd Brigade, he has invested 100,000 points of love to build a strong force for the empire that can fight well, and at the same time, he has invested all his emotions.

However, this battle is destined to destroy his own achievements, and he must also test his achievements - his soldiers will be covered with national flags in pieces and turned into tablets to be enshrined in Dragon City!

"What the hell!"

Ye Xiao cursed, but he didn't know who to give this curse to!

Theater Command? Crusaders? Or damn war?

Neither!

As a warrior, he is not a whimsical anti-war person, the empire needs hegemony, it needs hegemony to defend businessmen and wanderers all over the world, it needs to use hegemony to win status, these can only be ingested by war, not breaking the old system, not breaking the world hegemony system of all powers, the empire is always only a part of the system, not the whole thing.

For all this, only war is the only way!

But there are casualties in war, there are sacrifices in war, and this war that subverts the world hegemonic system will inevitably cause countless families to be scarred, and countless flesh and blood will turn into mud and become nutrients for the earth, and countless subordinates will inevitably become a part of it, or they will also become such nutrients in a certain battle.

There are countless reasons and excuses, but one fact has never changed:

In this battle, he was destined to lose many, many of his subordinates.

Ye Xiao silently took out a notepad and slowly opened it.

What catches your eye is the blood-colored names, written in red pen, as dazzling as blood. This is the name of the soldiers who died in the sacrifice of the 2nd battalion from the time they stepped into the battlefield to the present, and now there are 93 of them.

"I write down your names, I'm afraid that one day I will forget you, forget that you have become a lonely war spirit under the hegemony of the empire......"

Ye Xiao muttered, and once again looked at these familiar names carefully, Shi Hao - he also ordered him to carry the black cauldron at the beginning, Fan Xiaomin, Ye Xiao always felt that he would definitely become the future platoon commander of the special platoon of the 2nd Battalion......

It's just that now they have all become bright red names, and their souls have returned to Dragon City.

"I will remember you, and I will remember you!!"

Ye Xiao closed the notepad, and became the commander of the 222nd battalion who was in charge of the 2nd battalion and made all the soldiers extremely awe-inspiring!

"I'm the backbone of the 2nd battalion, I can't let my subordinates see my weak appearance, brothers, let's talk next time!"

Ye Xiao gathered his mind and scattered the last trace of weakness and colic.

……

2 battalion battalion headquarters.

Ye Xiao said that he was going to rest for a while and wait for the battle to break out, and everyone in the entire battalion suddenly felt a sense of relief.

The battalion commander is so calm, this battle must be clear to his chest, and our iron-clad second battalion will definitely win!

"Alright, you guys are checking the flaws in the defensive line and doing a few more deductions, and I hope that before the battle, we can find out all the deficiencies in the arrangement!" After Shi Kai commanded a group of staff officers, he devoted all his attention to the magic crystal sand table.

The staff officers were busy, and soon they were red-faced because of the deduction, and several slightly doubtful arrangements were specifically mentioned, and soon the front received an order from the battalion commander to carry out rectification, so the front commander chirped crookedly and cursed the battalion headquarters staff officers who did not do personnel.
