The sword gate is closed, and the building is closed.

After losing almost 10,000 troops, the Revolutionary Union finally conquered this new building that had been expanded by the organization.

Now, it was close to dusk, and the soldiers of the Revolutionary Union who had survived the battle had just been sitting on the ground in small groups and in twos and threes, while the orderlies were pushing carts and distributing food...... As for the wounded, the lightly wounded ones were simply bandaged by their companions, and the seriously injured ones were all carried together...... Waiting to be transported to the rear for treatment is actually waiting for death, and the military doctors are not even willing to give them morphine, and the screams of pain continue to echo in this narrow valley.

A soldier with a lot of blood stains on his military uniform sat down with his back against a large stone and tore open the paper bag he had just gotten in his hand, but as soon as he saw the contents of the paper bag, his eyebrows immediately wrinkled-

"Synthetic rations and mashed potatoes as hard as stones again? Is this something that people eat? , how long has it been since we've seen meat? We give our lives to the people above, and the people above make us eat this kind of thing? The soldier shouted with great dissatisfaction.

"Okay, okay, it's good to have this...... an older veteran of the same team patted him on the shoulder, "Just now, a squad in the next battalion couldn't even share mashed potatoes, so they could only eat with cold water mixed with batter." ”

The batter in the veteran's mouth naturally refers to the kind of white powdered synthetic military ration, but the taste of this thing is much worse than that of pure flour...... Well, especially when it's not heated and there are no condiments, it's hard to swallow.

"Can they endure this?"

"Of course I can't bear it, that team immediately fought with the orderly, and I heard that the orderly's nose bone was discounted......

"And then?" The young soldier was stunned, if he wanted to say that he would have dared to try such a thing as beating an orderly, if he had knocked the medicine, but now that the effect of the medicine has subsided, and reason has regained the mastermind, he still doesn't dare to do this kind of thing that violates military discipline, so he only dares to scold and scold.

"It's still like this, the beating was directly carried out by military law, and the gendarmes were arrested and shot, and the rest of the team was assigned to the front-line assault unit, and they were basically dead." The veteran sighed, and suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Actually, this can't be blamed on the orderlies, it is said that the logistics troops have been attacked, and the materials that should have arrived at noon have not been delivered in the evening, and we don't have much food left." ”

"What?! Logistics troops ......"

Before the young soldier could finish speaking, he was covered by the veteran: "Idiot, be quiet!" This kind of thing can't be spread randomly, it's a big sin to disturb the morale of the army! You're not afraid of death, I'm still afraid! ”

"Woo woo...... the young soldier nodded hurriedly, and the veteran let go of his mouth.

"Sergeant...... So what do we do? ”

"What else can I do, this is on the surface, even if you want to escape, there is nowhere to go...... I reckon that the order for a general offensive should be launched soon. ”

"Total Offensive ......"

……

Although the materials of the logistics troops were not destroyed by Qi Lin, the headquarters was attacked, and there were great problems in the transportation and deployment of materials, especially in the process of fighting, all units were scattered, and without the unified coordination of the headquarters, it was difficult to ensure that the materials could be delivered to each army on time.

……

"It's really unpalatable...... "The young soldier said as he nibbled on the hard mashed potatoes, and in order to save money, this improvised food was made without any seasoning, just a few handfuls of mineral salt...... But this kind of mashed potatoes are made in a large pot with a diameter of two or three meters, and the salt grains cannot be stirred evenly, so when they are eaten in the soldiers' mouths, they either have no taste at all, or they are so salty that they cannot be eaten at all...... As for the salty and light, it is estimated that there are only a few European emperors.

"Luckily, I was prepared." The veteran smiled, took out a small bag from his bosom, and took out a thumb-sized metal bottle from the bag.

"What is this?"

"Salt and pepper." The veteran smiled and sprinkled the spice on his mashed potatoes, and the aroma of pepper instantly wafted into the nose of the other soldier, making him swallow a mouthful of saliva.

"Brother, give me some too, and when the war is over, I'll go back and invite you to have a barbecue."

"That's what you said, don't try to cheat." As he spoke, the veteran tossed the two vials to the other.

"Hey...... Definitely not. "The recruits had just finished their bottles, when suddenly an explosion rang out, and it was very close to where they were resting! It should be after the pass in front!

"Grass fuck...... What's the situation? The two soldiers were startled and couldn't care about eating, so they quickly straightened the helmets on their heads, grabbed the weapons that were leaning on the side, and jumped up from the ground.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”

A junior officer held up a bullhorn and shouted at the top of his voice.

"Assemble! Everyone's assembled! Get ready for battle! Get ready for battle! ”

"Grass! Hasn't this area been cleaned up by us? Where did the enemy emerge? The veteran was a non-commissioned officer, barely able to talk to a junior officer, and hurried over to the shouting fellow and asked loudly.

"Get out of the fortress and get the soldiers ready for battle! The enemy is slain from the Sword Pavilion Fortress! Our vanguard troops are engaged in a firefight with them! ”

The jumble of gunfire and explosions echoed through the valley from the pass ahead, and even the most unresponsive soldiers understood what was happening.

The organization wants to fight back and regain this geographically important Guanlou!

Jianmen Guanlou is located in the throat of Jiange Road, which has been a very important location since ancient times, otherwise the ancient military strategists would not choose to build the Guanlou in this location.

"The machine gunners and bombardiers go to the upper valley and seize the advantageous terrain, and the power armor brings the shield and blocks the pass! Others guard the gatekeepers! ”

This junior officer, with the rank of lieutenant, is the commander of their battalion and the temporary commander of the area around Guanlou at present.

As for why a lieutenant can become the commander of the thousands of soldiers here, it is because all the officers above have been killed in the battle of Guanlou, and he, the lieutenant, is already the highest-ranking officer among these thousands of people......

Two soldiers who had been sharing pepper before rushed into the building...... For low-level soldiers like them, whether they can occupy a safe position at the beginning of the war is likely to determine how much chance they can survive in the following battles, especially this kind of defensive battle with complex fortifications.
