Chapter 1: The Beginning of the War

In 2100, at the beginning of September, the way of the world changed, and the dark age of mankind came.

The resurrection of the demon that reappeared in the world summoned a group of half-demons with a number of more than 100,000 to descend on the city of Shanghai, and this international metropolis with a population of more than 10 million fell in an instant.

In the time when the country and the people were completely unresponsive, the demon completely occupied the entire city of Shanghai, and used the formation to block the land and sky of the entire city of Shanghai.

How many families are broken, and how many people are dying.

In the end, humanity should rejoice or hate, because, after the success of the first invasion, the demon ordered the release of all humans who had been captured for not resisting.

General Command of the Eastern Theater of Operations.

Liu Hong, commander of the Eastern Theater Command, had a pale face, and he was no longer majestic as before, and the political commissars and staff officers under his seat did not dare to come out.

"The defense line of the 621st Regiment of the Seventh Army of our army was broken through by the enemy."

"The defense line of the 101st Regiment of the Eighth Army of our army was broken through by the enemy."

"The 354th Regiment of the 7th Army of our army failed to encircle and suppress the enemy."

"The Fifth Fighter Group of our army encountered an enemy ambush and suffered heavy losses."

……

One by one, the battle situation of defeat and retreat kept coming back to the headquarters from the front line.

"What kind of battle situation are these, they are all defeats, they are simply insulting my Eastern Theater, don't I have a single talent available in the Eastern Theater!" Liu Hong was already carried away by anger and scolded at the command headquarters.

The corps commanders of all the Eastern Theaters had already gone to the front to command, and only some political commissars and military staff officers remained in the General Command.

"Lao Liu, calm down, the current strategy is the best choice after analysis, don't chill the hearts of all the officers and soldiers." Chairman He Shenggen said, and at the same time he was hinting that Liu Hong did not understand the overall situation and was angry at such a time.

"Humph!" Liu Hong snorted coldly.

After his emotions calmed down, Liu Hong began to think of countermeasures, this He Shenggen is unreliable, but it is not easy to find a breakthrough point for the enemy.

Originally, the central government's instructions were to hope that the Eastern Theater of Operations would complete the counteroffensive against the Demons alone, but now it seems that everyone seriously underestimated the enemy's combat effectiveness.

However, He Shenggen inadvertently reminded Liu Hong.

"Contact Li Weizhi." Liu Hong said to the intelligence officer.

"Yes."

The intelligence officer did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly contacted Li Weizhi, commander of the Seventh Group Army.

Not long after, Li Weizhi's figure appeared on the council table projection floating screen.

"Commander, are you looking for me?"

"That's right! I would like to ask you what you think of the current situation. ”

"Commander, I'll do my best."

"I'm not asking you to be polite! Say what you really think, you should know best on the front line. ”

Li Weizhi looked at Liu Hong, and saw that Liu Hong's face was serious, not like a tentative look, and he thought for a while to speak.

"Commander, please forgive me, the demon clan is menacing, I am afraid that I will not be able to resist it with my own strength in the Eastern Theater, if we continue to confront it head-on, our army will be defeated."

"Commander Li, you are increasing the enemy's momentum and destroying your own prestige." He Shenggen said leisurely.

Without waiting for Li Weizhi to speak, Liu Hong choked for him.

"Lao He, Li Weizhi just told us his true thoughts, and the decision is on us. Just now you said that I have chilled the hearts of all officers and soldiers, what is the difference between your current behavior and mine. ”

didn't expect his words to be used by Liu Hong, He Shenggen knew that he was at a loss, and he was silent.

Liu Hong was in a much better mood, and he returned the other way to the other, and after getting along with He Shenggen, an old fox, he also learned to dig holes for people.

"Commander, do you have any other instructions?"

The front line is tight, and Li Weizhi can't afford to delay for a moment.

"No, you continue to command the front line!"

"Yes!"

After hanging up the call with Li Weizhi, Liu Hong looked around at the staff officers and political commissars.

"After listening to Commander Li's words, what do you think of everyone present?"

The staff officers had long since lost their patience and began to express their views and strategies. The majority of the people are opposed to retreating, and if they retreat from the eastern theater, it will certainly greatly affect the momentum of the army, and the pressure exerted on them by the central authorities and the people of the whole country will be greatly increased, and the voices of doubts about the eastern theater will inevitably rise at that time.

"That's it! I understand your opinions. Liu Hong stopped arguing.

"Intelligencer, order the commanders of all corps on the front line, from now on, the first priority is to preserve the combat effectiveness of the army, and if necessary, you can give up some unimportant strategic goals, in short, you must drag the enemy down."

"Yes!"

Liu Hong looked at He Shenggen and said, "Old He, it is your turn to appear next, and you must let the central government mobilize other theaters to reinforce my eastern theater." ”

He Shenggen moved his mouth, but in the end he didn't refute it, he went around and around, and in the end the hardest errand fell on him, but he still had to do it, who made him the chairman of the Eastern Theater of Operations.
