"Yes, it's not right. Jiang Zhi walked around the table, "Of course it's cost-effective to use their inferior legions to consume my Eighth Legion, but will we fight like this?" It is impossible for Helian Yu not to think of this, seeing that the main force of our army is reluctant to spend some troops to test the truth, she is likely to make a fuss in other places.

Nine passes have been blocked by us, the enemy has a strength advantage but it is difficult to deploy, the best way is to attack the east and west, mobilize the main force of our army and then find a weak point to break through. Since she refused to fight hard this time, it proves that the enemy's troops have not gathered here, and my previous guess may be wrong, or Helian Yu may have changed his tactics. ”

"Then we can't attack it?" Yu Zhong probably understood what kind of role the 75th Division played.

"You don't need to attack, just press in front of the pass, you don't move, and the enemy army doesn't dare to rush out of the pass at will, but I will transfer the troops in charge of the response, and once the situation is critical, I authorize you to withdraw directly to the base camp. Jiang Zhi gradually straightened out his thoughts, "I'll rush back to the base camp immediately, the commander of the Yu Division, and trouble the 75th Division to hold on here for a few more days." ”

"Please rest assured, Chief of Staff, if it's just the enemy's Fourth Army, I will make them dare not go out of the city. "Yu Zhong saw the combat effectiveness of the enemy army tonight, and his heart was naturally full of confidence.

The 10th Brigade of the 75th Division replaced the 3rd Brigade guarding the Iron Beast in the second half of the night.

Fan Yuzhen and his ten squadron leaders didn't go anywhere, they were busy wiping the blood stains on the bodies of their comrades who died in battle, and changing them into the best clothes they had before they died.

"Ergui, I will find a way to help your family adopt a godson, so that your parents will be sent to death in the future. ”

"Big fat, this is your favorite wine, there is only this small half of the altar left in the entire barracks, which Mingguang grabbed back without saying a word, you can make do with it in the Eternal Sanctuary. ”

"Sixi, I know that you feel sorry for the new daughter-in-law at home, and I hope she can find a good man to remarry, but unfortunately I can't marry her because I'm not a man. Look at the name of the Ninth Squadron Leader, Tang Daming? He at least has the same surname as you, and your daughter-in-law will still be Mrs. Tang in the future. ”

......

Fan Yuzhen took the trouble to say goodbye to her dead comrades one by one, and the entire third largest queue watched silently behind her, and even the seriously injured team members were supported to say goodbye.

The state has now entered the hottest and wettest weather, and all soldiers who died in battle are cremated on the spot to avoid infectious diseases. Only a few individuals will dispose of their corpses with special means, then place them in special ice coffins, and be escorted back to their places of origin by magicians.

Fan Yuzhen personally covered each of the dead comrades with the regimental flags that had been made in the hurry, and then used torches to light the firewood piled up next to the corpses. This is different from the Xijiang Naval Division where she used to be, many of the naval troops could not even find the corpses after they died in battle, and even if the infantry was chopped up, there was a way to put it together, and she was very fortunate to be able to hold a funeral for her comrades.

"You have been fighting to the death for the kingdom before the blood is shed, the Eighth Legion will remember you, your souls can be reunited with the martyrs of the legion, and I will think of you when I see the red horned python in the future. Brothers, let's go!" Jiao Mingguang knelt down on one knee in front of more than forty fires.

Pounce, pounce, pounce, the sergeants of the 3rd Brigade all knelt down and shouted loudly together: "Brothers!

The movement here did not hide from Yu Zhong, he rushed over with his own soldiers, silently bowed to the fire several times, and then turned to all the sergeants of the third brigade and said: "Yu is very honored to be the commander of your division, it is with you loyal and brave people who do not hesitate to sacrifice their lives for the country, the Eighth Army can become an elite division that is famous all over the world."

Tonight, you were fearless in the face of an enemy force several times your size, successfully blocked the enemy's frantic attack, and held them back before reinforcements arrived, finally completing the battle to crush the enemy army. I will report to the commander of the war zone to ask for credit for you, and the authorities of the third brigade of tonight's battle will take the first credit!"

Fan Yuzhen and all the sergeants of the Third Brigade hammered their chests with their right hands and shouted at Yu Zhong: "Honor and the legion coexist!"

The sky had just turned white, and Jiang Zhi, who had been on the road all night, rushed to the base camp of the war zone, and ran to the brightly lit headquarters without even drinking a sip of water.

Jiang Tong had already gotten up, and as soon as he went to the headquarters to read the military information sent from various places overnight, he ate dry food with freshly heated tea while watching. This is his consistent style, and in wartime, he must be consistent with all the soldiers, and he will eat whatever the people in the underground eat.

"Captain, the situation may change. Jiang Zhi picked up the teapot and poured himself tea, moistened his throat, and then reported to Jiang Tong what he had seen and heard in front of the general flag, and added his own thoughts.

"Urgently order the Eleventh Army to stop the offensive and retreat to the Shanghangguan Barracks. After listening to Jiang Zhi's report, Jiang Tong immediately gave an order. "Convene a meeting of all the staff officers to reassess the enemy's next move. ”

On the afternoon of July 5, 4873 in the general calendar, a general wearing a ghost-faced helmet ascended the Xiahangguan Tower.

"General Hong, you're here so soon. "The lower guard will come to greet him in person.

"It's useless to talk about it, how is the military situation near Xiahang Pass?" The ghost helmet is the symbol of Hong Jin, the commander of the Ninth Legion.

The Ninth Army Corps was originally stationed near the Junqi Pass, and it took only a little more than a day to rush to the Xiahang Pass after receiving Helian Yu's order, and the general of the Xiahang Pass had just received the military order notification.

"Recently, we have been very quiet here, the barracks blocking the pass have just changed guards, and judging from the military flag, it is the 13th Division of the enemy's 2nd Army Corps. The only thing worth noting is that they have sent more scouts to the manpower, but there is no strong desire to infiltrate the queen. The lower guard will answer.

Xiahang Pass is the northernmost pass of the Southern Defense Zone, located near the junction of Nanqiu County, Yanling County and Huashan County, there is no very steep terrain here, the roads extend in all directions, it is an easy to attack and difficult to defend place. After the "Helian Jade Wall" was built, a pass was set up here, and the history of the lower hanging pass began.

It is easy for the Shaodian Kingdom and the Three Kingdoms to send troops downward, so it is easy to fight a general battle once a war breaks out here. This is something that both sides have always wanted to avoid, so both sides deliberately controlled the size of the garrison near the suspension pass.

"Send me all the people you can mobilize, and within a radius of twenty miles I will make the enemy blind and deaf, and tomorrow morning the Ninth Army will attack the camp at Guanguan. Hong Jin said categorically.

"Yes! "The guard will turn around and run away from the tower.

Hong Jin looked at the flat terrain in front of the pass, and said to himself: "Attack at will, hehe, this is the most unrestricted military order I have ever received, Helian Yu can come out so strongly, he does have a hand." ”
