January 16, 2056, the Philip Park area is close to the ground, blizzard, 9.8 km from the Kremlin.

"Colonel! We should organize another attack, we have cleared all the enemies except for the Yakimanka area except for the Mosros Canal! This morning C Company has advanced to the left bank of the Norvalbard Bridge! "The leaden grey clouds in the sky were full of white thunder, but it was hard to tell if it was the power of nature or something else.

"Tick!" Astrid wrapped her scarf tightly and was about to step to keep up, when she stepped into the snow-clogged driveway with several blinding rays of light. "Hey! Look at the road! It wasn't until she was close that the driver slammed on the brakes, and Astrid wiped the thick frost and snow from the goggles, and she was so stunned that she almost lost her hurried superior.

"Colonel! Let me take the first battalion to rush again! I promise to take the bridgehead on the right bank! I swear! It took a while for Astrid to find Colonel Hausen hidden in the trench. Astrid was almost pleading in a pleading tone, the old snow that never melted was layered with new snow, slippery inside and out, and she couldn't remember how many falls she had these days. The sideburns were wet and dripping with dirty water, and they seeped into the military coat that burst out of the lint one after another, cold, very cold.

The artillery mirror blinked silently, and the words were frozen in her throat in advance at minus forty degrees, and every mouth was a lump of ice and snow, she hoarsely and insisted: "Colonel!" Captain! Concentrate the rest of your mechs on me! We are only 10 km from the Kremlin! 10！ If the weather is good, I can pull the Emperor out of the armory with just one assault! We can end this war! ”

“Incoming！” The ash-soaked earth shook suddenly, and the guards screamed violently, and before Risen could react, they pressed her directly into the bottom of the trench and smashed her alive into the hard snow. She struggled desperately, and the entire trench was overturned by a blizzard. It wasn't until she was about to suffocate that she was able to break free.

When she stood up drippingly, her mind exploded with a "buzz", and she wiped her face blankly, and the snow was bloody. The soldiers, who had survived the shelling, limped to each other's feet. "Mom! Mom! She was amazed to see a soldier whose belly had been slit open by shrapnel was trying to stuff back the intestines that had spilled around her, and the stump was broken. Medic! Medic! "Longing for the shadow of the people, running in the devastated land.

"It's a mortar across the river! They are counter-assaulting! The officers in the trenches exclaimed, struggling to crawl out of the blood-red mud puddle, the rumbling of cannon getting closer. The sound of "Ula", which was better than the wave, resounded across the Mosros River. The sound of tank tracks, which had been extinguished for a long time, once again alarmed the once feared Amata crisis.

"Imperial Guards! Tank! ”

The colonel took a deep look at Astrid, who was shivering from the cold, took out his gun, patted her thin shoulder, and ordered, "Pick up the gun!" Stay alive! ”

That day was extraordinarily long and brutal.

……

"The air here makes me sick." Astrid said sorry, walked through the crowd, took a glass of amber wine from the champagne tower, sat on the sofa chair reflexively, drank it all in one gulp, and as soon as she took out a cigarette, a Zhibao came over and lit it for her, and she took a deep puff of the Red Star brand cigarette, which was much fresher than the black miasma, and did not fake the color

said.

"It's not the same time it used to be." The man sitting next to Astrid was also dressed in a straight military uniform, with a single-strand gold trim lazily resting on his elbow, and if it weren't for the conspicuous "Z" scar on his left cheek, it would hardly be thought that this man would have been one of the best mecha aces of the Allied forces before the war. Major Lafayette Rogers dusted off his cigarette ash and crossed his legs as he watched the dancing crowd on the dance floor. "You have to be glad that there is no special band at the headquarters, otherwise we will have to allocate a lot of real money for the old men to dance."

"No, thank you." Astrid also refused the invitation of a certain Fort Benning officer to dance, as the protagonist of this reception ball, Asterrid is really a little unkind, so far he has only accepted the invitation of the two, and all of them are pre-war awakened officers of Fort Benning. Then she retreated after a long afternoon of fierce fighting. She was crying and laughing at this moment, the railway line only a hundred miles away from Fort Benning had been massively attacked by ghouls, and she was not concentrating on finding out the facts, but was half forced and half ...... Forget it, it's forced.

"Mecha won't grow legs and run away on their own, just cockroaches don't have to worry about their teeth, it's just a common thing, and it's better to communicate with colleagues to carry out work." Upon arriving at Fort Benning, Astrid was summoned to the underground base by Major General Sheli, and she had wanted to argue with reason. "Your teacher specifically mentioned it, saying that you have been too nervous lately, relax, child, this time is different." Since the generals have said so, it would be a naked slap in the face for Astrid to oppose it.

Astrid coldly watched the female officers of the staff in knee-length skirts swaying their unique ornaments and talking and laughing everywhere, she didn't know where to get so much copywriting to do, the first mecha division was divided into three parts, Half Moon Bay and Mepott each had a regiment, and the largest "Potomac" heavy brigade battle group was stationed at Fort Benning, and there were only more than 5,000 front-line combatants, even if the need to support logistics and supplies was huge, but there were not so many staff officers. What disgusted her the most was that when she was doing her best, she transferred many of the truly experienced awakened personnel who had been frozen in the pre-war seed plan into the reserves, and a few of them were sent to the General Staff. Like Rogers. Astrid was in charge of Company A of the 1st Mecha Regiment under the 1st Mecha Division before the war, and Rogers commanded Company B.

"I heard that you encountered a little episode on the way here, are there any surprises?" Rogers threw an extra stainless steel ice cube into his glass, and in a moment he drank five or six glasses, and Astrid was not interested in persuading her, for she had drunk too much herself. She replied with a lack of interest, "What surprises can there be?" That's it. ”

"I miss the old days, even when I lost the battle, do you remember the Battle of East Pomerania? We and the 2nd Mechanized Infantry Division are going to spearhead and tear through the encirclement, oh God, how many years, the Indian chiefs have killed faster than our red lightning, and the Imperial Guards have been beaten to the point of reinforcements. Major Rogers snapped his fingers and circled his arm exaggeratedly. You and I both killed more than ten in that time. ”

Astrid smiled a little tastelessly, and reluctantly, said, "That's the worst battle we've ever fought, isn't it?" The 10th Mountain Division of the rearguard was directly annihilated, and the Courland battle group was basically wiped out in the end, 100,000 people! 100,000 people! In the end, less than 8,000 people were evacuated alive. ”

"That

It's better than not having to fight. Rogers simply picked up a tray and swept through a dozen glasses in one go, attracting quite a lot of attention, Astrid "poofed" and got up to do so, she raised the stainless steel ice cube in her hand, and grinned, "Remember that we are at school?" To play or not to play? ”

"Of course you play." As soon as Rogers finished speaking, a block of ice fell straight into his glass. "Be the first to attack!" Astrid blinked and applauded, "Drink!" ”

"It's cheating." Rogers raised his glass and drank it all, just about to aim for it to be thrown into the Astrid cup, but she covered the mouth of the cup like a fool and said, "Ladies first?" You just said it was cheating. ”

"Do I have to kill three bottles before I qualify for favor?" Rogers joked that in their time, Astrid Josephine was a veritable celebrity, and the big iceberg was not so easy to get his hands on, at least the premise was to kill three bottles of brandy without interruption under her supervision, and vodka was preferred. This alone scares off a bunch of guys who have a thief's heart but don't have the guts.

"It's up to you, see if you understand girls." Astrid opened her glass, "snapped", hit the bull's-eye, she scooped up the ice, the amber dripping down her lips, and she shouted, "Hey! There's no festive music! Be cheerful! Be cheerful! ”

The atmosphere of the club changed in an instant, with a light and bright waltz like a pixie on the fingertips, and people dancing like a whirlwind of frequency. Astrid threw his hand, boom! Not only did the ice fall into the cup, but it also slid out, bouncing three times in a row. "Jackpot!" She exclaimed excitedly.

Rogers sighed, and after four toasts in a row, he finally got a little drunk, and he muttered, "Hey! Beauty! Will you freeze with me for a hundred years? ”

"Didn't my lady invite you to Broadway at that time? What the hell are you saying I'm going to Hudson! Astrid slapped him, and the poor major suddenly woke up from a dream, and said, "I thought you really went to see a drama that day!" You don't tell you promised Barn that bastard, do you? ”

Astrid turned her blue eyes full of cunning, her nails touched her red lips, and she tilted her head and said, "Yo, I thought that the champion of the sailing championship was only interested in military affairs and couldn't tolerate the love of children, so the little girl couldn't waste two tickets." ”

"Oh, that's so damn hurtful, Teresa, it's Barn...... No wonder...... It doesn't matter, it's good to leave it to the red hair. At the mention of this stubble, both of them were silent for a moment, Astrid rubbed her ring finger, she felt her throat tighten, and said slightly astringently: "I really regret removing Mothros, if I leave a day late, it will be a day, I can persuade him not to attack the Kremlin again......"

Some things are destined to be unpersuadable, and without losing, Rogers also raised the next glass of wine and said: "This cup is to Barn, may he sleep in peace and stability in a foreign land, and may he continue his fate in the next life." ”

"Respect him." Astrid nodded. "To my fiancé who died heroically."

PS: Generally speaking, ornamentation is unique to the military uniforms of officers in the General Staff, and military dresses of other branches of the military will also appear, but they are not common. As can be seen in the previous article, Poseidon's military uniform style is not exactly a reference to the modern A Army, but has some Prussian style.
