And so it went on for another week or so. After the day's cultivation was over, Karin suddenly seemed to have something on her mind.

"I might have to be away for a while." Karin said in a somewhat embarrassed tone, "There's something going on over there at home, and Hine will come with me too." ”

"What's the matter? How long will it take? Li De asked, and after saying that, he shoved a large piece of artificial chicken into his mouth.

"You still don't want to know," Karin said after a moment's hesitation, "about three months, to another planet." ”

Li De was silent for a while and nodded. Since Karin didn't want to say more, he naturally wouldn't ask. I was just thinking about how I was going to cultivate on my own.

Sure enough, early the next morning, Karin left.

Li De was alone in the front-line base for two days, and there was a sudden disturbance in the base. The horn of the troops rallying sounded, countless footsteps appeared outside the barracks, and the roar of various military vehicles shook the earth.

Li De walked out of the barracks curiously, looking at the soldiers and various vehicles coming and going. He squinted at the dusty camp playground filled with columns of soldiers and armored personnel carriers ready to go.

"You! Find your team! Onward, onward! An officer walked over and yelled at Li De.

"What?" Li De thought that he had misheard, wasn't he still in Karin's combat team, how could he suddenly let him join the combat unit.

"Sir, you TM recruits, no one teaches you the rules?" The officer walked up to Li De's side. "Go over there and report to your chief, and get ready to go!"

"Is it me?" Li De's face was puzzled.

"Yes~!" Alan didn't know when he had walked behind Li De. Li De turned his head to look at this front-line commander who always couldn't get along with him for some reason.

"Now that Karin isn't here, I think..."

Karin wasn't there, and her team was temporarily disbanded. Now you are a soldier, a private! You must obey orders! Allen didn't wait for Li De to finish speaking before he yelled, "I have applied for the military department, you are now a soldier of the D Company of the Third Battalion of the Tenth Regiment, go and report!" ”

Li De looked helplessly at Allen, whose saliva was squirting out, and frowned. He knew that Alan didn't have a good impression of him, and there was definitely nothing good about the hands assigned to him. But at this moment, he had no ability to resist, so he could only turn around and walk to the assembly point and find Company D.

The company commander of Company D was a bearded man, 1.8 meters tall, wearing a captain's military uniform, with a cigar in his mouth and a mouthful of yellow teeth. Seeing another soldier coming to report, he pointed casually and asked Li De to stand at the end of the line.

Li De stood at the end of the line, looking forward at the soldiers of Company D. More than a hundred Marines stood in two columns, tall, short, fat and thin. Judging by their somewhat nervous expressions, it seemed that they were all recruits. Only the company commander seemed to have a few years of experience when he arrived.

One word came to Li De's heart: cannon fodder troops.

Yes, there will be some sacrifices, some arranged deaths, in exchange for a greater good. For example, in order to allow the main force to have sufficient space to fire, the commander will often put some troops within the range of local firepower to attract the enemy's attention and cover the troops with strong firepower to carry out the operation.

Those who struggle under enemy gunfire are called cannon fodder by veterans, and are generally made up of the least popular or uneducated recruits in the unit, with a mortality rate of about 70 percent. Many civilian-born soldiers can't survive the cannon fodder unit, so they go to another world to report in advance.

Li De felt that either he was lucky, or Allen had done something. In short, if you want to survive in the cannon fodder army, you need a very deep ability. He began to think about how long the battle would last, and how he would survive in the front row of heavy artillery fire.

The fighters began to line up to receive weapons. Soldiers who have participated in the war will have their own equipment, and they will cherish the equipment in their hands as much as their own lives. But Li De's D Company is a real rookie company, and most people don't even have their own equipment, including Li De, of course.

After the Federation recruits soldiers, the marines will conduct military training for about half a year, and then take a transport ship to various war-torn planets. On the transport ship, weapons will not be issued, and only when you are on the planet will you receive your own equipment at the base. These soldiers in front of them who didn't even have guns were rookies who had just gotten off the transport ship and had only been on the Seleon Star for a day or two.

Li De was at the end of the line, and when he came to the ordnance point, there was nothing left to choose. It was two black men who issued guns at the ordnance point, and they looked at Li De and directly threw him an MA5C automatic rifle and two magazines.

The MA5C is a fully automatic attack rifle that uses air-cooled and heat-reducing air, making it ideal for mid-range combat. One of the features of the MA5C is that its remaining ammunition can be displayed directly on the LCD screen above the rifle, so that the user can always know how much ammunition is remaining in the current gun. The power of the MA5C is between the MA5B assault rifle and the BR55 battle rifle, which can be said to be decent.

Looking at the guy in his hand, although Li De has used very few automatic rifles, it is also very easy to touch. This gun was one of the standard rifles of the federal army, and the two blacks saw that Li De had no characteristics, so they threw it to him at will. The MA5C has a reload of 32 rounds. Apparently, the two blacks felt that Li De would not live long on the battlefield.

Soon, the combat units had been assembled. The bearded company commander shouted loudly to the whole team, so that the eggs of those recruits were neatly lined up and the spirit was lifted.

The operation is said to have been devised by General Douglas and Allen, with plans to expand the entire control area to the west of Base 445. For this purpose, a full three main divisions and a reserve brigade were specially assembled.

For the sake of this battle plan, Douglas can be said to have hollowed out his old bottom. He left only part of the infantry regiment to stay at the main base, a small number of armored troops and a mechanized brigade on the front line, and the rest of the team was almost pulled out to prepare for this big gamble.

Sitting on the armored truck in front of him, Li De tilted his head to look at the scenery outside the car window. Several of the recruits in the same car were on the battlefield for the first time, and they all seemed very excited and excited.

At first, several people talked loudly and encouraged each other, but then I don't know who started singing a song from the conscription advertisement in the federation first, and then everyone began to sing along. They sang military songs like this along the way, and later more and more people joined the ranks of singing, and Li De had to sing all the way.

After a day's march, the vanguard reached an open field more than 100 kilometers away from the target high ground. This area is the camp site selected by the command in advance, and after deep scanning by strategic satellites, it ensures that there is no ambush underground. It's to prevent previous sneak attacks.

It should be noted here that on the planet of Seleone, military satellites are definitely a rarity. Now the air of the planet is in the hands of insects, and there are large and small insects that can fly at any time, flying in swarms in the air.

Outer space is in the hands of the Purdos, who are said to be facing off in orbit with the planet. Dozens of capital cruisers and hundreds of destroyers were enclosed in a small area, not daring to take a step beyond the minepool.

Therefore, it is not easy to have a satellite to detect in the stratosphere, and one day it may be shot down by the light cannon of the Puldons, or hit the bugs and become a pile of scrap metal.

As soon as the vanguard of the human forces arrived at their destination, they immediately began to get busy. A large number of steel plates were laid on the ground. These steel plates are used to level the ground so that some defensive weapons and improvised structures can be placed, and on the other hand, to prevent the Zerg from sneaking up from underground.

Before the arrival of the combat troops, the engineers had erected temporary barracks and tents. The combat units divided the places of rest at night according to the region. The cooking team began to prepare the meal, and the camp was chaotic but orderly, and finally completed all the work before sunset.

Li De was assigned to a marching tent at night, a tent made of synthetic materials to withstand the cold wind at night, although it was only a few square meters in size, but it was stuffed with a total of four people, including Li De, all of whom were soldiers of Company D.

After dinner in the evening, a bonfire was lit outside the marching tent. The soldiers of the cannon fodder regiment sat around the fires. Units of different numbers have their own areas of activity, and these recruits generally have little interaction with veterans.

There were also many men and women in the camp who gathered. They ate simple synthetic food, drank flush drinks from the army to replenish their physical strength, and chatted with each other.

From time to time, a couple of men and women embraced each other and walked into the tent next to them. Then the tent started shaking. Timely pleasure was more popular in the military, especially before the war. The female soldiers wouldn't pay much attention either, because tonight could be the last night of their lives.

Li De also sat by the fire in front of the tent, along with three temporary roommates, and a few comrades from other tents next to him. They are all talking about their hometowns, what their colonized planets are like, and what kind of relatives they have in their hometowns.

Listening to others talking about their hometowns and pasts, Li De thought of those days when he picked up things in the garbage heap. He didn't know if that filthy place was his hometown, or what the rest of Arkansas was like.

Li De never mentioned his childhood to outsiders. His childhood was spent by the side of the one-armed old man. The old man taught him to read, how to survive, how to fight, and how to use the things around him. Now that I think about it, it's so unattainable.

The war is about to begin, and the night before the war is always filled with all kinds of emotions.
