Chapter 44: The War in the Southeast
After Lu Xing sat down, Ji Hongling tilted his head and looked at him: "Good boy, I really didn't expect that I could actually practice the archery skill that can turn, this is simply a skill tailored for the troubled times, let's say, how many arrows did it take to shoot that miscellaneous piece?" ”
Lu Xing's skills, Wei Kai has almost seen them, so a group of rough men sit together, and there is basically no secret at all.
"Three arrows, that guy is an evolutionary and has a very quick reaction, if he hadn't suddenly mastered a special arrow technique, I'm afraid it would take a lot more effort to kill him!"
Pei Jian sat on the chair and clasped his fists with both hands: "Brother, I have a heart, thank you here!" ”
"Hey, hey, hey...... Brother Pei is polite to me, what you have done for me is much more than this! ”
While the members of the 'Yaksha' were listening to the music around Lu Xing, a private army of more than 500 people was building fortifications in a mountain range more than 300 kilometers southeast of the 258 settlement, which seemed to have just been bombed, and there were huge craters and burning firewood everywhere.
Guan Sheng's face was full of black ash, with a cigarette roll in his mouth, and he looked at the southeast with a sad face, and the guard next to him said: "Fuck, 502 Is this crazy, cannonballs don't want to be smashed here, they can make cannonballs by themselves?" ”
"502 has long had the ability to make their own grenades, and they have the same idea as 258, they want to take the southwest war when the rainy season comes, otherwise even when the rain comes, the difficulty of the march will increase dramatically, and the early efforts will be in vain!"
"Battalion commander, you said that the living environment is so bad now, and human beings are still killing each other, will one day, we be wiped out by animals and plants?"
"Phew!"
Guan Sheng spit out the cigarette butt in his mouth, and crushed it with his foot: "Who knows, human beings have such an inferior root, as long as there is a little respite, and then for the sake of a little benefit, they will brutally kill each other, go and inform the four company commanders, after the next round of bombing, come here for a meeting!" ”
The guard bent his waist and trotted away, Guan Sheng sighed: "It's up to tonight, if you can't hold this line of defense, I'm afraid that the barrier to Yuzhou will be gone, and I don't know what to think about it, so five battalions will be arranged!" ”
Behind the fortress, there are three tunnels built by the former civilization, and the three faintly visible roadbeds lead directly to the direction of the No. 258 settlement, if this fortification is lost, the southeast barrier of the No. 258 settlement will be gone, and for several years, the manpower and material resources invested by the settlement here definitely exceed half of the energy of the entire settlement.
In the past year, the No. 502 settlement in the Yuzhou area suddenly increased the garrison here, and it seems that there is nothing to fear, as the war continues to intensify, the 258 side gradually figured out the details of the other party, and it turns out that the No. 502 settlement suddenly has the ability to manufacture large-caliber grenades a year ago, which has intensified the offensive against the fortress.
Another round of bombardment came two hours later, and lasted for half an hour before stopping, and when the artillery fire had completely stopped, Guan Sheng walked out of his ears and waited for a few company commanders to come over for a meeting.
More than ten minutes later, three company commanders rushed to the command post, and one company commander reported that the third company commander had been hit by shrapnel and unfortunately died.
Guan Sheng had a dark face, several company commanders were soldiers brought up by him, and it was his loss if any of them died.
"Battalion commander, it can't go on like this, we are almost half of our attrition, and if there are no soldiers to replenish, we can't stop the attack at night!"
"Correspondent, send a message to headquarters and ask for support!"
"Yes, Battalion Commander!"
……
Guan Sheng did not wait for reinforcements as usual, but waited for a more ferocious grenade bombardment, and after nightfall, the private troops in the 502 settlement successfully broke through to a position of fifty or sixty meters of the fortress under the cover of artillery fire.
"Boom...... Boom, Tata, Bulk, Boom......, Boom, Boom! ”
The roar of all kinds of guns tore apart the quiet wilderness in the night, and in the face of such a large group battle, even the evolved animals did not dare to make a mistake, and fled deeper into the wilderness.
The guard said while firing his gun: "Battalion commander, quickly withdraw, so that the manpower will be exhausted!" ”
The communicator of the first company rushed into the trench with a cat on his waist: "Battalion commander, no, the first company can't stand it, the company commander has died, the third battalion on our right flank has abandoned its position and fled to the wilderness, what should we do?" ”
Guan Sheng put down the automatic rifle in his hand and sighed: "Fuck, the top is unkind, don't blame the bottom for being unjust, after carrying it for so long, we are also worthy of that group of turtle sons, Dalong, go and tell the brothers to assemble to Erdaoliangzi, where do we retreat to Hejiang, find a way to march towards Qianzhou, and never return to 258." ”
"Yes!"
Erdaoliangzi was only five kilometers away from the fortress, and Guan Sheng's battalion was successfully evacuated here after half of its strength was reduced, and only one of the four company commanders was left.
After assembling, Guan Sheng looked around and said, "Brothers, come with me, let's move to Hejiang overnight, and go up the river after dawn to find our brother's way of life!" ”
Mao Youquan, the commander of the second company, said: "Battalion commander, why are we suffering, you must know that we withdrew with our brothers at the beginning, we have guys in our hands, are we afraid that we will not find a place to stay?" ”
"Hmph...... At the beginning, there was an Overseer, there was no retreat at all, and at the end of the battle, both sides were red-eyed, and the Overseers were relieved to retreat, so that there was a possibility for the brothers to retreat, if it was not a last resort, no one could leave their relatives in the settlement, right? ”
A considerable number of these soldiers' relatives live within the high walls, not because the controllers are kind, but because their families are inside the settlement, these people don't dare to have other ideas.
Now that I have been forced into a desperate situation, I will not even have my life if I resist again, even if my relatives are there, I can't meet them, so it is better to run for my life first, and I will find a way to pick up my relatives in the future.
On the 'Nanmu Mountain Fortress', after the private army of the 502 fortress attacked it, they found that it was artificially abandoned, otherwise they would attack from the bottom to the top, and the loss would definitely not be small.
502 A regiment commander in green camouflage clothes climbed the mountain, looked at the corpses everywhere and frowned and said: "Look for it, if there is Guan Sheng's miscellaneous corpse, it's fucking unbeatable!" ”
A battalion commander asked: "Regiment commander, the brothers don't know whether Guan Sheng looks numb or bare-faced, how to find it?" ”
"Hmph, what a stupid person, physical evolutionaries are generally much stronger than ordinary people, you just need to find the biggest one."
"Oh...... Be! ”
As a result, I didn't find a big one, and the battalion commander came back and reported: "Regiment commander, that guy should have run away, the four battalions in charge of the defense line here ran directly to two pairs, fucking this is eating military rations for nothing!" ”
The regiment commander pursed his lips: "Hehe, in the chaotic times where there is no order at all, the soldiers have no faith anymore, do you still expect them to fight for the selfish desires of individual people like pioneers, let alone them, even you and I are the same, I don't believe that you will choose to sacrifice your own life for those who are in control?" ”
"Hey, hey, hey...... Commander, if you don't say it, it's a fool to say it! ”
"...... Pass the order to go down, clean up the battlefield, and then rest in place, and wait for the follow-up troops to come, it is estimated that there will be a new mission at dawn! ”
……
After the shooting of Guo Ming, the entire slum was under martial law, and no one was allowed to enter and leave the checkpoints set up in the settlement at will, and after a few days, there were many complaints in the slum, because most people had no savings for daily necessities, and the mere hunger had made the slum unstable, and the theft and robbery were even more intense!
On this morning, a large number of private soldiers appeared in the slums, and began to urgently mobilize and recruit for the registered hunting teams, and those who volunteered to join the private army were given 1,000 yuan as a settling-in allowance each.
In the past, such a good thing could not be the turn of these poor people, only the civilians within the high walls were crowded with their heads, and they wished that their heads would be beaten into dog heads, and becoming a private army meant becoming a person on the side of the controller, although it was also a tool to be used, but the identity was much better than that of civilians or poor people, at least there was no need to worry about food, and they could also get a lot of military salaries every month, which was more than enough to support their families.
After Ji Hongling received the notice, she frowned and said: "The southeast war is estimated to have been lost, otherwise this kind of good thing will not be in the slums!" ”
Wei Kai also looked worried: "I don't know how Lao Guan is now?" ”
In this team, everyone has more or less received the favor of Guan Sheng, so everyone is more concerned about his safety.
Lu Xing pursed his lips: "Don't worry, that guy has rough skin and thick flesh, he will definitely not die, I saw with my own eyes that he was shot dozens of times and was fine, this time it is estimated that he will turn evil into good fortune, at most he will be injured but not dead!" ”
"Bah...... You stinky boy, are you talking about human words, why don't I like to listen to it so much! ”
Ji Hongling reached out and grabbed the object's ears and turned it violently.
Wei Doudou suddenly said: "If you want to know the situation of Lao Guan, isn't it the best opportunity now, isn't it more convenient for us to sneak into the private army, and then inquire about Lao Guan's whereabouts?" ”
Ji Hongling pondered for a long time, and then looked at Wei Kai: "Do you think it's so easy for the private army to enter when you want to enter and get out if you want?" ”
Wei Kai thought for a while: "I think if the southeast war is lost, it should be feasible!" ”
In fact, these people can have such thoughts, because they have not entered the private army, do not understand the mechanism of the army, take it for granted that the real private army, that is a set of plans specifically to deal with deserters, when the trumpet on the battlefield sounds, you don't want to rush forward, the overseers behind you are not given in vain, rather than cowering and being killed, it is better to rush forward, the chance of survival will be a little greater.
"Okay, let's also prepare, join the private army temporarily, and inquire about the news of Lao Guan."
After discussing for a long time, Ji Hongling finally made the decision to temporarily blend in with the private army.
When everyone was talking, Wei Doudou had been pondering, until Ji Hongling was decided, he said: "Boss, in fact, you don't have to care too much about the identity of the private army, as long as the people's hearts are not bad in this world, isn't Lao Guan also the identity of the private army, isn't it still very close to us, and entering the military is also a workout for young people, especially Ah Xing and Qi Lu, who have just become adults, with the identity of the private army, can't they take care of more hard-working people in the future, the key problem is still in the hearts of the people, if the hearts of the people are broken, Even the poor will do things that are not as good as animals? ”
Everyone was silent, Lu Xing felt that Wei Doudou's words were not bad at all, having the identity of a private army is indeed more convenient in troubled times, the key is people's hearts, if this thing is evil, it will be the same wherever it is placed, aren't the bad things in the slums that force good people to become prostitutes, steal chickens and dogs, and rob houses are all done by poor people?
After thinking about this, everyone's opinions quickly reached a consensus, that is, to enter the private army, not only to inquire about Lao Guan's news, but also to obtain a good identity.
At the same time, more than 200 kilometers to the southeast, in a mountain col, which used to be a large service area for a certain highway, could not accommodate tens of thousands of people.
At this moment, one troop truck after another is driving here, and the cars are full of privately armed soldiers, and their uniforms all have a pattern of a mountain city, indicating that they are private troops from a settlement somewhere in Yuzhou.
What Settlement No. 258 has not known is that Settlement No. 502, which has been fighting with them for several years, is actually only a part of the entire settlement in the entire Yuzhou area, because the entire settlement in Yuzhou is all unified by the 'Shancheng' group, and increasing the use of troops against them is just a part of the plan of the entire 'Shancheng' group.
A middle-aged man wearing a colonel's uniform, standing at the top of the main building of the service area that was about to collapse, watched the troop carriers drive into the service area one after another, but his brows were still tightly locked, and he didn't seem to be optimistic about the army gathering here.
