Just when the night of the Thirteen Neutral Zones was chaotic, there was a new movement in the Imperial military, which everyone had in their impression of "steadily advancing".

A group of well-dressed men strode across the position, and after a long while, the officer at the front stopped without warning, and the Imperial soldiers in the rear were caught off guard by the commander's actions.

The first two soldiers subconsciously took another half step forward, but the soldiers in the rear still advanced according to the previous pace, causing the two sides to suddenly collide, and finally squeezed the soldier in front of him to stagger a few steps, and his body was about to fall forward.

At this time, the officer didn't look at the soldier's hand and helped him to avoid the embarrassment of falling.

The officer's name is Bai Tiejun, thirty-five years old, he is the commander-in-chief of the front line of the Sequoia Empire, and he is a lieutenant general of the empire from a free man.

His eyes scanned around him, and he could see that the soldiers in the camp were busy in an orderly manner.

Slowly squatting down, Bai Tiejun reached out and grabbed a handful of dirt on the ground, and then rubbed it with his hands.

"Are all the gentlemen of the thirteen neutral zones dead? I lost our position after ten hours of not being able to hold on, and I really don't understand how we lost the last war. ”

"There are many reasons, the last time was just a local war, although the combat effectiveness of the soldiers in the neutral zone was extremely poor, but at that time, all the elites were withdrawn and there must have been a fighting force.

But this time it was different, without the Federation's dragging, plus the ten major empires marching from six directions at the same time, and the only few elites in the neutral zone were all scattered everywhere, so it couldn't form combat effectiveness at all. ”

It was another officer standing beside Bai Tiejun who spoke, different from the approachable Bai Tiejun, this person revealed a sense of not entering from the inside out, it was Wei Qiang, the chief of staff of the Sequoia Empire's front.

Bai Tiejun threw the dirt in his hand casually, got up and patted Wei Qiang on the shoulder.

"Xiaoqiang, don't be so serious, smile, it's not a serious battle, you will affect my mood like this."

The corners of Wei Qiang's mouth twitched, and when he saw Bai Tiejun stretching out his hand to his face, he removed his hand, and then glanced at Bai Tiejun angrily.

"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, please be respectful."

Bai Tiejun raised his eyebrows, and then smiled.

"Tut-tut, Xiaoqiang, if you were a girl, we can do something we love to do, it's too boring to fight a war or something, there is no one in the neutral zone who can fight."

Wei Qiang rolled his eyes and straightened his collar seriously.

"Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, don't forget that the military in the neutral zone has always had no combat effectiveness, and in comparison, those guys on the other side are more difficult, so what we really need to worry about is the next street fighting."

Bai Tiejun didn't seem to care about the other party's thoughts, so he came up and grabbed Wei Qiang's shoulder, and said with saliva,

"Hahahaha, don't worry, His Majesty the Emperor has a deep plan and has already sent shadows behind enemy lines to deal with those difficult guys, so we just need to crush the enemy in the front, speaking of the women in the neutral zone is still very tasteful, listen to those seniors......"

Before he finished speaking, Wei Qiang interrupted Bai Tiejun's words.

"Your Excellency, Commander, please pay attention to your identity, just keep this kind of thing in your heart, and ...... I have no interest in men. ”

Bai Tiejun rolled his eyes, and then a smile rose on his face again.

"Cut, it's really boring, by the way, I'm not interested in men, but if it's Xiaoqiang, are you...... Exceptions may be made. ”

Without waiting for Wei Qiang to speak again, Bai Tiejun glanced at his watch, and then his face suddenly became serious.

"It's almost time, it's time for Command to move forward, go back."

After speaking, Bai Tiejun beckoned and took the lead in striding back towards the military camp in the rear.

At this time, the busy soldiers in the barracks had entered the finishing stage, and the trucks loaded with various materials needed for the camp began to march in the direction of Longhua City.

The soldiers quickly sorted out the formation, and then boarded the troop carriers in an orderly manner, and in a blink of an eye, the camp was mostly empty.

At the same time, the situation is different on the forward positions of the neutral zone, which are less than fifty kilometers apart.

In the trenches, the soldiers in the neutral zone are in a group of seven and eight people are gathering together to eat, compared to the gruel and pickles a few days ago, today's food is not bad, at least you can eat rice that is not cooled, not to mention the hot soup served all day, and each person has also been given a can of expired canned beef.

"It's not going to be the last fucking supper, is it, why is the food so good today?"

A soldier took a bite of beef, then carefully sealed the canned beef again, hiding it in his arms and preparing to save it for the next meal.

Next to the soldier was a bearded man, who was also the squad leader of this group of recruits.

Hearing his subordinates complaining, the squad leader skillfully lit a cigarette for himself, and then said with concern,

"Needless to say? It must be another move on the Imperial side, and if it doesn't make trouble, it may call directly tonight. ”

As soon as the words fell, a young man on the side who looked a little immature looked at his clothes, although it was already the smallest military uniform, it was still a little big for him.

"Ban...... Squad leader, the Empire won't really attack it, I saw those from the front line a few days ago, miserable...... It's miserable, so many arms and legs are gone. ”

The squad leader chuckled when he heard this, and touched the young man's head behind him.

"The children's families have too little knowledge, where is this, during the First Great Patriotic War, there were not a few wounded, and after that guy was attacked by the Imperials, they were all ...... to the establishment"

Halfway through his words, the squad leader got up from the ground and looked left and right, and saw that no one was paying attention to this side before he dared to continue,

"We are all our own people, so we are all clever when we start a war, and we can shoot less if we can, otherwise the heat source cannon on the Empire's side will sweep over, and none of us will be able to run away at that time.

Save your strength, and when the order is given to retreat, let's run faster and drill directly into the woods, otherwise the armored vehicles of the Imperials will not be able to catch up with us. ”

Hearing that the squad leader taught the big guy his experience, the expressions of the people present became serious.

Yes, I heard that their squad leader is not a simple person, he only joined the army at the end of the last Great Patriotic War, and he was the only one in his unit who survived, and his salary after being discharged from the army was also above the average salary, and his life was comfortable.

If the war hadn't started again, these surviving veterans might have had a good life.

At this moment, a "hiss" sound suddenly came from mid-air, and the squad leader hurriedly pricked up his ears, and then his face changed abruptly.

As far as the eye could see, I saw countless flares falling from high in the sky, illuminating the position here as bright as day.

"Hurry up and put on your helmets, the Imperial people are coming, they are all clinging to the trenches, and they will ..... in a moment of shelling"

Before he finished speaking, a shell exploded dozens of meters away, covering up all the words behind the squad leader.

A wave of air swept in, and the squad leader, who was just about to squat, was swept out several meters by the aftermath of the air wave and smashed heavily on the edge of the trench.
