Other officers and men as far as the eye could see took out their sleeping bags from their backpacks on the roadside, laid them out, sat neatly on their sleeping bags, and ate compressed dry food with the water in the kettle.

Since the nearest enemy guard was less than 500 meters away from the big tree where he was hiding, Zhang Qian, who was woken up by the shouts of the holy army, did not dare to speak, pointed to his own hammock to Li Jingjin, who turned to look at him, and then slowly climbed back to the platform.

Li Jingjin, who had just finished eating half of the roast chicken, sat on a small bench, pointed to the restaurant, and shook his right hand in the shape of a gun.

Zhang Qian shook her head, turned her head and motioned for the other party to go back to sleep, and then picked up the other half of the cold roast chicken in the plastic bag at Li Jingjin's feet and ate it slowly.

Li Jingjin waved his fist in the direction of the hotel, climbed back into the hammock lightly, and slept under the quilt.

Early the next morning, Zhang Qian, who was returning to sleep with Li Jingjin in the second half of the night, was woken up again by a burst of shouting.

After quietly climbing back to the platform and squatting beside Li Jingjin, Zhang Qian saw through the gap in the branches that the team of the Holy Army had moved out again.

At this time, she also saw that at this time, more than a dozen large aluminum pots for burning wood had been erected with large stones on the side of the main road in the town, and a soldier with a large spoon and a plastic funnel stood next to each pot, filling the kettle in their hands whenever the other holy officers and soldiers paused for a few seconds.

And the dozen or so officers, who were mostly fat-headed and big-eared, came out of the hotel one after another, and after boarding their respective carriages parked at the entrance of the hotel, these carriages either moved forward quickly or slowly or waited in place, and then merged into the place where they should have been in the line.

This time, the line that appeared outside the southern horizon walked for an hour before it came to an end.

After all the troops, including the holy officers and soldiers on the rooftop, were out of sight, Li Jingjin said, "I just scalded a little fried rice and chicken with hot water and put them in your lunch box. ”

Zhang Qian said, "Thank you, did the three Holy Army spies see where they went?" ”

Li Jingjin said: "I have been paying attention to the door of the hotel, and I have never seen them come out, and they may still be in the hotel or leave through the back door. ”

Zhang Qian said: "The three of them must still be in the town. ”

Li Jingjin said: "Arrest them for interrogation? ”

Zhang Qian said: "Forget it, they should just be the eyes and ears of the Holy Army in various places, and their value is not very great." ”

Li Jingjin said: "It seems that the command organs of the Holy Army are hidden in those big wooden carriages, or they have not landed at all, or they are on the ship or simply stay in the Neon Country?" ”

Zhang Qian picked up the white plastic lunch box placed between the two, opened the insulated lid, picked up the spoon, and said while gobbling it up: "It's all possible." ”

Li Jingjin said: "Then where will the battle be launched? ”

"It may be in the mountains south of Daegu. The enemy army will have to reach the southern part of Daegu at the earliest, because there are several small rivers on the way. The Second Army of the National Defense Army, which was already stationed in Daegu, was already in high positions there, and Daejeon had five corps on standby as reserves, so at least four corps and at most seven corps could be deployed in the vicinity of Daegu to deal with the enemy forces that had just passed. ”

"Daegu, which is said in the history books to be in 1950, was the last fortress city in the defense of the Nakdong River organized by Syngman Rhee's army and the United Nations Army. However, the Battle of Daegu was mainly fought in the north and northwest of Daegu, and it was the United Nations forces that blocked the northern army moving south. And this time it will probably be in the south, sniping at the holy army in the north. When I was a soldier, I participated in joint exercises with the U.S. military in Daegu, and the terrain was very suitable for large-scale sniper warfare. ”

Zhang Qian said: "That's why the North-South Coalition Army Command studied and decided to plan to carry out the first battle with the enemy in Daegu, Daejeon, and Jeonju. Because the mountainous areas of these three places are relatively suitable for sniper warfare. ”

Li Jingjin said: "How can it be concluded that the enemy may pass through these three areas? ”

Zhang Qian said: "There are many ways for the enemy to cross the river, but because the tunnel has collapsed, they must choose a road with fewer tunnels, otherwise they will have to climb over the mountains when they encounter a collapsed tunnel." The Busan-Daegu-Daejeon-Seoul line, Jeonju, Daejeon, and Seoul lines are all major roads with relatively few tunnels, thanks to the most beautiful highway projects implemented by the previous Korean governments, and large roads have also been built in the mountain passes near many tunnels for tourists to enjoy the beautiful scenery. This is one of the reasons why the reserves are placed in Daejeon. ”

Li Jingjin said: "It does make sense, if you consider tunnels, landing from the East China Sea, because the focus of the most beautiful highway project is not in that area, so no matter which road has to pass through many tunnels, combined with the water system in that area, it will reduce the advance speed of the enemy." ”

Zhang Qian said: "Unfortunately, in order to prevent the enemy from landing directly at Incheon, at the request of the National Defense Committee of the North Peninsula, the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the ROK National Defense Forces decided to place a group army in that area as well, and jointly build a second line of defense with the three KPA group armies that have already moved south to Gyeonggi Province and Gangwon Province. Looking at the current situation, it is best to deploy all ROK troops to the south, and to hand over the entire area from Incheon-Seoul to Gangwon Province in the north of South Korea to the KPA to assist in the defense. ”

Li Jingjin said: "The decision of the coalition command is also for the sake of prudence, after all, we cannot have the slightest unexpected situation strategically. I think that even if all the ROK Army does not have air supremacy and guns, it may not even be able to use up more than half of the ammunition base of these enemies, after all, the Holy Army is now not a ten, but a hundred, or even a thousand. It is hoped that the three armies of the Northern Army, which are heading south, can keep Seoul and other places, and I heard that they are the most elite troops of the Northern Army. In the face of a common enemy, the intensity of cooperation between the North and the South is truly unprecedented. ”

Zhang Qian said: "In the battle of the large corps, even if the north and the south join forces, we are still very likely to suffer big losses, and the US-Canada coalition forces are almost unable to stop the pace of the holy army's advance." Therefore, we can only find the command organ of the Holy Army to land on the peninsula, otherwise there is no way to fight this battle at all. ”

Li Jingjin said: "Indeed, defeating the command organ, although it will not necessarily turn the tide of the war, can delay the pace of the Holy Army going north, and when your army has the strength to attack, it will be the end of the Holy Army in the Asian battlefield!" ”

Zhang Qian said: "That's why NIS arranged agents to squat at various possible landing sites to keep an eye and cast a wide net. ”

Li Jingjin said: "What kind of wide net, I think it is looking for a needle in a haystack." ”

Zhang Qian said: "But it's better than doing nothing. ”
