Chapter 5 Gates

Li Lijia is located at the foot of Luoxi Mountain in the west city of Quancheng, Luoxi Mountain is named after this mountain at sunset, next to this mountain is Longyan Mountain, these two mountains are connected to each other, both mountains are very steep, Luoxi Mountain and Dagang Mountain are connected by artificial excavation of a pass, this pass is called the Forbidden Gate, because this pass is the only passage from Quancheng to the Tibetan area of the plateau, so it is named the Forbidden Gate, a highway passes through the Forbidden Gate, this highway is the famous Sichuan-Tibet line, It is a very important transportation route and a very strategically important road.

Li Li's family lives on the top floor of a six-story old-fashioned unit fund-raising house, which is built on the side of the highway and not too far from the forbidden gate, which was included in the military administration zone a few days ago, and there is about a reinforced regiment stationed here, and no one is allowed to approach it at will.

At this time, Li Li stood in an inconspicuous corner of the balcony on the sixth floor, holding a telescope bought from the Internet and quietly observing the forbidden gate, the first thing imprinted in front of him was a defense line about 20 meters high and about 5 meters wide, this defense line connected Luoxi Mountain and Dagang Mountain, and completely sealed the forbidden gate, this defense line is made of thick steel bars as a frame, mud and sandbags and stones fill inside, there is a passage at the bottom of the center of the defense line that can only be used by a truck, and a large number of heavy weapons are arranged on the defense line.

There are dense pillboxes and artillery groups on both sides of Luoxi Mountain and Longyan Mountain, and there are more than a dozen tanks arranged in front of the defense line, and a large number of obstacles similar to a kind of ancient one called "Rejection of Horses", except that the material of Rejection of Horses has changed from wood to steel. Several helicopter gunships circled over the defensive line, and from time to time helicopter gunships took off from the makeshift airfield behind the defensive line and flew in a westerly direction.

There were a large number of troops stationed behind the defense line, as well as mountains of military supplies, a large number of excavators, bulldozers, cranes and many other engineering equipment were busy near the forbidden gate, Li Li had to admire the efficiency of the army, and in just a few days he was able to build this place into a military fortress.

500 meters behind the defense line was originally Quancheng No. 2 Primary School, but now you can see about a dozen soldiers with loaded guns and live ammunition standing at the door in a standard military posture, there are sentinels standing at the commanding heights around the school, and several teams of soldiers are constantly patrolling around and inside, Li Li speculates that this should be the regimental headquarters of the front line.

There is a three-storey building with a very luxurious decoration in the regiment headquarters, which is the office building of the original school teachers, and in one of the largest conference halls, a group of people gather around the largest desk in the conference center, and a large map is placed on the desk.

A young communications soldier walked behind a middle-aged man at the conference table in the center and stood up and saluted: "Report, regiment commander, urgent from the military department."

The middle-aged man turned around slowly, with a standard Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, giving people a sense of majesty, and the middle-aged man nodded and signaled, this middle-aged man was Zhang Chengchi, the head of the reinforced regiment stationed in Quancheng.

The young communications soldier forcefully handed a top-secret document bag to his chest, Zhang Chengchi took the document, and the communication soldier quickly walked out of the conference room.

Zhang Chengchi came to find a desk where no one was and sat down, tore open the sealing line and took out the documents and looked at them carefully, frowned unconsciously, and then put the documents into the sealed bag, facing the window and looking at the direction of the forbidden door, holding his hands behind his back, and fell into deep thought.

After a long time, Zhang Chengchi turned around and beckoned to the soldiers standing guard at the door, the soldiers trotted over, stood upright, saluted, and the middle-aged man returned the salute and said: "Xiao Gao, go and call Staff Officer Yang and Political Commissar Song to my office."

"Yes, Captain". The soldier replied in a deep voice, then trotted out of the room.

It didn't take long for the door of the office to be pushed open, and two people came in, one in his 50s, the other in his 30s, the older one was Yang Songyue, a staff officer, and Song Tao, the young political commissar, Zhang Chengchi saw the two of them coming in, so he handed over the documents on the desk and said lightly: "Look, what suggestions do you have?"

Yang Songyue first took the document and looked at it carefully, and the more she looked at it, the more frowning she became.

"What the hell are these monsters, from the monster's attack to the rout of the army, it didn't take 5 hours, and the troops of the three divisions were over." After half a ring, Yang Songyue looked at Zhang Chengchi suspiciously, and then handed the document to Song Tao.

"I don't know." Zhang Chengchi was concise and to the point.

"There is actually 1 division that is a mechanized fast response division, and it is ,,,," Political Commissar Song Tao looked in disbelief and slowly put down the document.

"According to satellite images, these monsters are moving in several directions, one of which is towards us, and it is expected that we will be able to fight these monsters within three days." Zhang Chengchi lit a cigarette and handed it to the two, his current pressure was very huge, and the order given to him by his superiors was to hold Quancheng.

"Fortunately, we haven't had a fluke mentality in the past few days, and we have been actively preparing." Song Tao took the cigarette and showed a hint of luck on his face.

"The three divisions have had much more time to prepare than we have, and the order given to us by our superiors is to hold on for three days." Staff officer Yang Songyue lit a cigarette and took a deep breath, seemingly not optimistic about the defense of Quancheng.

"According to intelligence speculation, I estimate that we won't be able to last even 3 hours if we hand it over." Zhang Chengchi shook off the cigarette ash and looked out the window with deep eyes, he is a colonel who has gone from a soldier to today's position, he has performed many peacekeeping missions when he was young, and has a certain understanding of war.

"So what are we going to do?" Song Tao's face changed slightly, and his tone was nervous.

"I can only hope that these monsters will come later." Yang Songyue responded angrily.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Chengchi continued: "No matter what, you have to hold on for three days, wait for the next helicopter gunship and armored vehicles to set up an outpost in Shanshui Township, fifteen kilometers away from the forbidden gate, once you make contact with the monster, take advantage of the speed advantage, never keep a distance from the monster while fighting and retreating, and blow up bridges and tunnels along the way when retreating, and drag the monster to the greatest extent." ”

"And on the road between the Forbidden Gate Pass and Erlang Mountain, it is fortified layer by layer, on the one hand, to receive the blocking troops, and on the other hand, it can also contain the monsters." Yang Songyue added Zhang Chengchi's words.

Yang Songyue took another puff of cigarette and said suddenly: "There are no instructions from the military department for the common people in the city, so let's deal with it?" ”

"Adapt". Zhang Chengchi was silent for a long time, and slowly spit out these words, as if he didn't know how to implement this order, but his expression showed his opinion on this order.

"In special times, this can only be done." Song Tao hurriedly said, as if he was afraid that the two of them would do something against the orders of their superiors.

"Let's do it, relax the inspection of the checkpoints out of the city these days." A hint of hesitation flashed on Zhang Chengchi's face, but after a while, the hesitation disappeared, and his eyes became resolute, as if he had made a decision.

"Commander Zhang, although the superiors did not give clear instructions to the people in the city, they instructed us to blockade Quanzhou." Song Tao's tone was slightly embarrassed, he was a political commissar, and his duty was to be responsible for some things other than military command, in a sense, his full strength was greater than that of the regiment commander.

"Let's just say that the front line is tense, the personnel have been transferred to the front line, and the superiors will track it down, and I will bear everything." Zhang Chengchi looked resolute, and after speaking, he turned to Yang Songyue and said, "Old Yang, you hurry up and make arrangements, time is pressing." ”

"Yes!" Yang Songyue replied loudly and immediately walked out of the office, and Zhang Chengchi also followed closely with a gloomy face, leaving Song Tao in a daze.

"Commander Zhang, do you need me to organize a pre-war mobilization meeting?" After seeing Zhang Chengchi disappearing at the door, Song Tao hurriedly asked loudly, for the pre-war mobilization meeting is a tradition of the troops, at this time, give a preventive shot to the soldiers who are about to participate in the war, so that they have the faith to fight and not be afraid of death.

"You can do it." Zhang Chengchi left the office without looking back.
