Flying at a cold high altitude, Jiang Fan's face was gloomy.

Beside them, Wu Huo'er and Zhang Kaitian didn't dare to say a word.

They were now 300 kilometers away from the northern border of Kyushu, and Balton and the other demons did not pursue them again.

There was a sound behind them, and everyone turned around and saw that the two strong men who had mastered the divine power of the wind class had arrived with Bai Yan.

Jiang Fan looked at Bai Yan and asked with wooden eyes, "What about the others?" ”

Bai Yan's tears overflowed all of a sudden: "It's all gone!" ”

Jiang Fan's eyes turned red when he heard this, he blinked, and said in a low voice: "My fault, I shouldn't have left you behind!" ”

Bai Cheng shook his head: "No, General, we also killed the remaining earth-digging demons...... It was Li Tao, who went to detonate the high-explosive mines that had been planted in advance......"

The cold wind blew, Jiang Fan took off the black armor helmet and let his cheeks face the cold of dozens of degrees below zero.

The frost flower condensed on his face, and with the tears overflowing from the corners of his eyes, Jiang Fan said slowly: "White Tiger Army, collective first-class merit!" ”

......

After returning to the defensive line on the northern border, Jiang Fan received the exact news that the demon group crawled out of the big pit, changed to the ground, and continued to press towards Kyushu like a tide.

"The operation was a success." In the command headquarters, Jiang Fan reported to Commander Ye, "The White Tiger Army sacrificed 1,237 people, and I bear the main responsibility, but I still have to fight for the collective first-class merit for the White Tiger Army!" ”

Commander Ye glanced at Jiang Fan deeply, shook his head and said, "Jiang Fan, the war is not something you can control, and some sacrifices are inevitable. ”

"That's more than a thousand lives." Jiang Fan lowered his head, "The most important thing is that they could have been sacrificed without sacrifice, I ordered them to stay!" ”

"If they don't stay, how can they completely exterminate the earth-digging demons?" Commander Ye said, "This order itself is correct, the only variable that appears is an eighth-order demigod-level demon. ”

Commander Ye got up and paced, opened the curtains, and looked out at the wilderness in the north.

"Jiang Fan, you have served as a military commander, and you know that victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, but you must be clear, in the eyes of the commander, the completion of the task is the first, and the number of casualties is second!" Commander Ye let out an old and hoarse voice, "If one day, the demon hordes are boundless, and more than half of the millions of soldiers defending the northern border are killed or wounded, and the order from above is to hold on, then, even if all these million people are sacrificed, I will resolutely carry out the order, because we are worried about casualties and cause the mission to fail, and it will be ten times or even a hundred times the number of people who die!" Of course, regardless of casualties, stupid officers will go to court-martials! ”

Jiang Fan clenched his fists, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and raised his head.

"Yes, Commander Ye, I understand!"

Commander Ye continued: "The collective first-class merit of the White Tiger Army, when the war is won, the scientific research institute has developed a new laser weapon, and it has been sent with ammunition, you go and hand it over." ”

"Yes!" Jiang Fan saluted and left the headquarters.

There are three lines of defense on the northern border, the first line of defense.

Veteran Zhang He saw hundreds of large transport planes flying in the sky and landing at the airfield in the rear.

"Hey, squad leader, what's that for?" One of the recruits asked curiously.

Zhang He squinted his eyes and said, "I don't know." ”

"Guess what!" The recruit hands over a cigarette.

"Yo, hidden bootleggies?" Zhang He's eyes lit up and he took the cigarette.

The recruits hurriedly took out lighters and lit them.

Zhang He took a deep breath, his eyes were enjoyed, and he was as happy as a fairy.

Due to the reduction of arable land, tobacco cultivation is small, so cigarettes in the new era are luxury.

Before the start of the war this time, the soldiers who smoked were given a few cigarettes, Zhang He was addicted to cigarettes, and he quickly finished smoking, and the soldiers who were brought out by him did not smoke were also given to Zhang He, but the day was gone.

"Well, I guess," Zhang He, after being satisfied, leaned against the fortifications, and the soldiers gathered around, "I guess it's some kind of weapon of mass destruction." ”

"I thought it was a tank or something."

"That's not fun, we're fighting a group of demons, ordinary tanks can be overturned by them, if you want to effectively kill them, you have to rely on rockets and other weapons!"

"Oh!" The soldiers looked at the rifles in their hands, and then looked at Zhang He in unison.

Zhang He frowned, spread his hands and said, "Look at me too!" ”

At this time, the shout of the signal soldier suddenly sounded: "Fifth squad, send two people to get new equipment!" ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and their eyes suddenly lit up.

"New gear!?"

More than an hour later, two soldiers returned with six long black boxes.

Six people from Class 5 gathered together and opened the black box.

Between the white partitions, there are delicate machines, and in the middle, there is a fiery red ball.

Zhang He raised his eyebrows: "Source Eye?!" ”

"What?" The recruit froze, "Source Eye? That eye of the source beast?! ”

"Yes!" Zhang He was surprised, picked up the manual and looked at it, "Oh, this gun is a new type of weapon, the source eye is the energy core, it has not been equipped with the whole army, it has just been successfully developed, and it has been sent directly to us!" ”

A soldier couldn't wait to assemble it.

Unexpectedly, this new firearm is very simple, and it was quickly assembled, it is one meter two long, black and silver, the barrel is not long but thick, with the source eye as the energy core, firing a shaped laser, the theoretical rate of fire is 80 rounds per minute, which can be understood as a laser assault weapon.

Zhang He picked up his gun and put the stones in the distant wilderness into the scope.

"Each squad tests its own guns, this gun will be greatly reduced in rainy weather, but in any case, the effective killing distance is fifty meters," the company commander's voice sounded, "Shoot again when the enemy is approaching, understand!?" ”

"Understood!" The shouts of the fighters were heard from the positions.

"Come on, give it a try!" Zhang He pulled the trigger.

Whoosh!

Two blinding red lasers shot out, and the two stones vanished, leaving only a dark trail in the ground.

"Okay!" Zhang He laughed.

The soldiers were also eager to try, and each fired a few shots.

Half a day later, the army's self-propelled guns arrived at the predetermined position, and the armored cluster was also in formation, just waiting for the arrival of the demon horde.

January 4, 1152.

Early morning.

Zhang He woke up from the shaking of the earth, he was stunned, then he got up sharply, ran quickly to the fortifications, and picked up the telescope to observe.

"Are you coming......" Zhang He muttered.

At this time, the soldiers also woke up and all entered the combat post.

"Squad leader, you're coming?" The recruit asked.

"It should be."

"Attention all!" The bulletin sounded, "The enemy's forward is fifty-two kilometers away from the position, and it is expected that there will be forty-seven minutes left to enter the firing range and prepare for battle!" ”

"Fifty-two kilometers?!" Zhang He was surprised.

"What's wrong?"

"Think about it, the earth is trembling slightly, but the enemy is still fifty-two kilometers away from us, how many must they have?" Zhang He said slowly.
