At this time, if you show weakness, then not only the people in the core area will be disappointed, but the people in the affiliated areas and those careerists will also feel that there is an opportunity, who will bear the responsibility for the defeat of the war, this is a huge problem, the war was initiated by the rulers of the core area, and naturally they should bear it, so to what extent is it over? This is an even bigger problem, at this time all parties have been damaged, the authority of the central government has also been weakened, and it is very easy for the local government to replace it at this time, Qiao Xuan, Heitiecheng, and Huajin City do not want such an ending, so it is impossible for both sides to show weakness at all.

What's more, Qiao Xuan himself is unwilling to accept his defeat, he will not give up unless he fights to the last soldier, and Shu Han's side can only do this, so the front line is like a meat grinder, constantly devouring young lives, and in the end, Shu Han had to give an order to let women enter the weapons factory to replace men to produce weapons, and then these replaced men put on military uniforms and went to the front line.

In the Survival League, women have always been not working much, which is also related to the limited jobs of the Survival League, and the strength of women is indeed inferior to that of men, and in this era, most of the work in the city is related to physical and repetitive work, especially when it comes to military enterprises, most of them are held by men, and the most common jobs for women are teachers, nurses, workers in silk reeling factories and other light industries, and rarely join in heavy physical work, but now, The Survival League was no longer able to maintain this tradition, with women moving into heavy industry and men going to the front more often because the losses of the war were so great.

In just half a month, the Survival Alliance will pour more than a million rounds of bullets on the front line, the entire front line is already in tatters, and some of the main bombed cities have become hell on earth, and before that, Qiao Xuan didn't even have time to give the retreat order for the city residents, and many people didn't even have a warning, so they were buried in this hell, although Qiao Xuan later launched the retreat order, but it was conservatively estimated that there were at least a hundred thousand people.

For this reason, the survival alliance also paid the price of blood, 240,000 people were scattered in this short period of one month, which was unimaginable before, such a heavy casualty, has hurt the foundation of the survival alliance, especially for some local regions, they have not surrendered for a long time, and their loyalty to the survival alliance is not so high, and now, the entire survival alliance is paying for this war, and the people in the central region are naturally sending more people in the region to the front line in order to weaken the local areato weaken their power.

These people themselves don't know anything about the war between the Survival Alliance and the Holy Alliance, and now they are still sent to the front line, and they die under the enemy's guns in a daze, in such a war, they really don't feel where justice is, let alone the necessity of their participation, so with the growth of the war time and the increase in sacrifices, the people in these areas have begun to feel angry about the actions of the Survival Alliance, although they have not rebelled yet, but obviously this is because the Survival Alliance still retains a very strong force, and now they do not rebel, just because of the fear in my heart.

But the hearts and minds of the people won by the moderate administration in the past few years have now been lost, and Shu Han is very sad about this, but there is no way, the war has begun, this is the inevitable result, but the pain is more and less time, and he has to change his strategy, issue a curfew order to the entire local area, and increase the local security regiment to ensure that there are no problems with local security, and take stricter measures to control the flow of local people to avoid tandem, thus causing problems for the entire region, in this way, Even if a city can't control its anger, then this anger will only spread in a city, and the troops who remain there can completely solve these troubles.

In the past, Shu Han looked down on Qiao Xuan's bloody rule very much, but now he can only take the same path, there is no way, in this case, if he does not show the cruel side of the ruler, I am afraid that someone will really embark on the road of violence, rather than letting others make trouble for him behind his back, it is better to strike first.

In addition to these bad news, there is also some good news outside of this month, first of all, the composition of nitroglycerin is cracked, and to find their substitutes, these nitroglycerin, in the final analysis, are some chemical raw materials, although the survival alliance is not produced locally, but it can be obtained through decomposition and synthesis, with the power of the survival alliance now, this is still relatively easy to do, after all, nitroglycerin is not a particularly rare, difficult synthesis, but a relatively simple thing, Saltpeter and alkaline substances actually have a certain use in life, and now they are used to refine and synthesize, but it is just relatively troublesome, but even if it is troublesome, the survival alliance must be there now, otherwise it is very difficult to be suppressed by the enemy's artillery fire.

Another point is that after this month's bombardment, the defense line of the Holy Alliance has finally been broken through repeatedly, more and more times, after all, under the attack of artillery, the solidity of the defense line is limited, but Qiao Xuan is still very powerful, he let the residents of those cities leave the city, but did not let them leave the front immediately, but gave them a shovel, directly let them dig trenches here, in the face of artillery and machine guns, trench warfare is obviously the most suitable, Qiao Xuan's war ability, Let him start building a full-scale trench, which is undoubtedly a huge trouble for Shu Han.

Relying on the trenches, the machine guns and artillery of the Survival Alliance have a much lower chance of hitting, and on the other hand, the anti-aircraft guns and ultra-long-distance cannons made by Qiao Xuan have been continuously transported to the front line, facing the enemy's weapons becoming more and more advanced, Shu Han's heart is undoubtedly very anxious, with the push and pull of time, Qiao Xuan's strength is getting stronger and stronger, which can only continue to push more troops to the front line, so as to ensure that the enemy does not master the premise of more powerful weapons, take the lead in destroying the enemy's main force.

And Qiao Xuan naturally understood Shu Han's decision, so he asked the mobile troops to retreat, while leaving the garrison and the security regiment transferred from various places, and they formed the first line of defense, using trenches and barbed wire to resist the attack of the Survival Alliance.

By this time, the situation of the war had reached the most anxious time, and in the first battle, the two sides finally fell into a stalemate, because of the trench warfare, which made the defending side get great benefits, while the attacking side had to face great danger, and now the casualties of the Survival Alliance were still superior to those of the Holy Alliance, all because the enemy was not equipped with machine guns.

If the Holy Alliance has machine guns, then the Survival Alliance at this time may only be able to withdraw its troops, so this is also his only chance, the people of the Survival Alliance are also working hard to mobilize the strength of the entire Survival Alliance, and the troops on the front line have increased to 500,000, and this will trigger a real general attack, if this battle is not successful, then the two sides will completely lose the possibility of victory, and the Survival Alliance will be threatened by the enemy more powerful, After all, at this time, the arsenal in the rear of the enemy is producing weapons and ammunition at full capacity, and if they are allowed to equip the whole army, then the survival alliance will usher in a great danger.

And Qiao Xuan obviously knew that the Survival Alliance was going to finish its work in one battle, so he turned all the troops that were originally withdrawn into reserve troops, as long as there was a gap in the front line, these sophisticated mobile troops would immediately begin to move, Qiao Xuan's idea was very simple, that is, to be invincible in this battle, and then wait for the equipment to catch up, and then fight with the Survival Alliance.

Time difference, this is the focus of the competition between the two sides now, this largest war since Shu Han crossed finally ushered in his commanding heights, what is the charge of 500,000 people, before this Shu Han did not know, after all, the era he lived in, there was generally no war, even if there were, it was a war led by terrorism, the scale was very small, generally no more than a thousand people, even if it was a war between countries, it was only a hundred thousand, and there had been no large-scale war between major powers for a long time, The depiction of war can only be understood through movies and television, but in it, the number of people is difficult to appreciate.

And after coming to this side of the world, the various city-states are isolated from each other, and the population is only three or four hundred thousand people at most, and it is already remarkable to have an army of 10,000 people in a war, so although Shu Han has seen a lot of wars in this world, the scale of the war is not large, and at this time, the charge of 500,000 people, you can't even see the charge of the farthest troops, the front line of the war is seventeen kilometers long, Shu Han can't see the farthest place even if he holds a telescope, there are only countless people in his eyes, They were charging towards the enemy's position in an organized manner, and on the enemy's position, more than 200 artillery pieces rang out in unison, as if the sky was about to fall, and the shells fell to the ground, kicking up countless mud and dust, and in this instant, countless lives ended.

The war began during the day and ended at night, most of the artillery on both sides had been paralyzed after a day of continuous firing, and these cannons could not withstand the continuous firing just now, and the battlefield at this moment was no longer what it was before, millions of bullets fell on this land, and it was difficult for you to find even traces of this land here.

And the fierce collision of soldiers on both sides also made the whole battlefield very bloody, when the two sides fought with white knuckles, the situation was once anxious, every soldier in order to survive, the maximum power that people can release is revealed here, and the soldiers also know what defeat means, and what victory means, therefore, in order to survive, in order to obtain a higher rank, in order to live a better life, every soldier has become a beast in the war, they shoot with guns, fight with bayonets, and even with fists, Use your teeth to hurt all the enemies around you, and eventually fall under the mud and become a corpse.

Ordinary soldiers are fighting, and the same is true of Skywalkers, they are fighting in the sky, fighting in the rumbling artillery fire, hundreds of Skywalkers are advancing towards the target direction at a very fast speed, and on Qiao Xuan's side, there are also hundreds of Skywalkers who move randomly, and thousands of Skywalkers appear on a battlefield at the same time, as soon as the two sides come into contact, more than five Skywalkers die, such a war is unprecedented in human wars before.

At this time, the Skywalkers seem to be no longer high gods, rulers of various city-states, and have only become an ordinary soldier, but compared to ordinary soldiers, their threat is even greater, a fire-attribute Skywalker before he dies, all his energy is ignited, and then rushed towards the enemy, in an instant, it became a huge fireball, burning all the enemies within a radius of about fifty meters, that is, the sand on the ground has turned into crystals under this high temperature, As for those ordinary people who were unfortunately killed, they didn't even exist anymore.

Zhang Ruoming led his legion of more than fifty Skywalkers forward, like a bayonet, shooting down the enemies in front of them one by one, but then they were also fiercely attacked by the enemy Skywalkers, one of them was like a ghost, quietly approached Zhang Ruoming, who was killing and wounding the enemy, and then stabbed Zhang Ruoming in the eye with the dagger in his hand.

Zhang Ruoming was experienced, so he immediately dodged to the side, but the Sky Walker assassin was like a shadow, and the dagger in his hand stabbed straight into Zhang Ruoming's eye socket, and then Zhang Ruoming felt a sharp pain, and the left half of the field of vision suddenly disappeared, if it was placed on ordinary people, I am afraid that at this moment, it would have been like falling into the abyss, and there was no action, so what was waiting for him would be this dagger directly inserted into the brain, but Zhang Ruoming had rich combat experience after all.

He endured the pain, grabbed the enemy's arm with his hand to continue to move forward, and pressed down with his own strength, so as not to take another step forward in the enemy's dagger, which is not easy for a normal person, not to mention that Zhang Ruoming's eye at this moment was hit hard, fortunately, the assassin rushed too fast, and there were no accomplices, and at this time, the people around Zhang Ruoming also reacted, and everyone rushed up to kill the assassin, and Zhang Ruoming only grabbed the dagger with his hand at this time, and at this time the dagger had entered the eye socket at a distance of about five centimeters, If you go further inside, you will soon get close to the brain, it can be said that Zhang Ruoming was only one step away from death just now, and soon Zhang Ruoming was sent back to the rear to receive treatment, and the command was handed over to another person.
