Chapter 860 (1/2)
Long Guo
After a night of torrential rain
The whole river city seems to be infiltrated in the kingdom of Ze.
At dawn
A touch of fish belly white appeared in the eastern sky.
It was this white fish belly that relieved Cheng Juemin, who was guarding within a five kilometer radius of the back mountain of Jiangda.
A burst of rapid footsteps sounded from the outside. Soon, a soldier rushed into the tent with rain and mud!
”Report to the chief that the enemy has retreated! This time we're holding on! ”
The soldier who came in stood straight. His voice was a little out of tune because of excitement. His hand raised to salute Cheng Juemin was trembling and a little out of shape.
”I see. Order all departments to rest in place. In a few hours, the war will start again!”
”Yes!”
The soldier's legs were together again, and he saluted Cheng Juemin again. Then he turned and prepared to leave.
”Wait a minute!”
”Chief?”
”You can take these things away, but you can't stop eating. Look at your lips. If you let your mother know, they scolded me for abusing you. ”
Cheng Juemin brought breakfast and water from the table next to him before he moved his chopsticks. Cheng Juemin handed it to the young soldier in front of him.
”Dad... I'm not hungry...”
When Cheng Chueh min handed them over, the young soldier's eyes turned red, but he didn't pick them up.
”There is no father and son on the battlefield, only superiors and subordinates. Now it's the war stage. I won't record a demerit for you. When the war is over, I'll go to the military discipline committee to receive punishment myself!”
”Take it!”
”Yes, chief!”
”Good job. I'm not ashamed of the Cheng family.”
Shaking his hands, Cheng Chueh min stroked the young face.
After two nights of fighting, my little son, who is usually spoiled, didn't go down the line of fire. He fought with other comrades until the enemy retreated.
This made him look at his son across his eyes.
”Take the food and give it to your comrades in arms if you don't eat it yourself. Say that I will live and die with them and resist foreign enemies until the last minute!”
”Go.”
Cheng Juemin looked at his lips and seemed to have something to say, but finally he didn't dare to look into his son's eyes and turned his back.
Behind
The young soldier saluted Cheng Juemin again, touched the tears in his eyes, picked up the food handed to him by the guard next to him, and hurried out of the headquarters.
”Chief, you can order him down. Why?”
”Why? Because he is a soldier, and I am a soldier! ”
Suddenly turning back, Cheng Chueh min looked at his guard company commander with a calm face and burning eyes.
”The duty of a soldier is to defend the country, to be loyal to the country and the people, not to go through the back door! He is the son of Cheng Juemin. It's true that I love my son. Aren't other soldiers born by their parents? ”
”If I let my son get off the line, how do you let me face tens of thousands of soldiers in the whole division?”
”But... Chief, you have to leave yourself a moment...”
The commander of the guard company spoke in a very low voice, almost inaudible.
He was afraid of touching Cheng Juemin's sensitive nerves.
Just the day before, the eldest son of the chief had died heroically in the defensive battle of another boundary breaking point in Changbai Mountain.
Hearing the news of his son's sacrifice, the chief sat in his command position and remained silent for a quarter of an hour. The old tears in his eyes kept turning, but he finally held back.
The chief has only two sons.
He can withdraw his youngest son through the military regulations of the Dragon kingdom.
But he didn't.
”Stay behind? There's no home. What's the difference after it's gone? ”
”As a soldier, you should be brave enough to kill the enemy. Why do you have to wrap up your body. I've known this since the day Cheng Juemin became a soldier. Life and death are destiny, and wealth lies in heaven! If the people finally die on the battlefield, our Cheng family is also a family of two martyrs, which is a very glorious thing! ”
”Even if I die later, I'm not afraid to face my ancestors!”
”That's it. Don't mention it again!”
Chueh min's thin eyes gradually disappeared through the window.
Reached out and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
”Immediately send out the people of the guard company, contact all departments, count the number of casualties, and then report the number of casualties and our urgently needed supplies to the western division.”
”As soon as the blood eater retreats, I've ordered people to make statistics. There should be results in a while.”
Nearby, the guard company commander replied.
”Very good!”
”What happened to Xiao Sun and Nalan tiger?”
”They are fighting, and they are in the worst position in the war. It is said that nearly half of their manpower has been lost in two days and nights. During this period, I sent your order to let them withdraw and have a rest. As a result, Captain sun refused. ”
”Captain Sun said he would avenge his dead comrades in arms and fight until the last minute!”
With his head depressed, the commander of the guard company looked very calm.
The defense line of sun Shaoyang and Nalan Hu was that he went up to investigate the situation himself.
Instructor Ning trained more than 100 people when he was there, plus a total of 500 special combat team members expanded later. In two days, there were less than 200 people.
Three quarters of the 300 people who died were killed in the most tragic battle on the first day, and the rest were killed in the repeated sneak attacks of the blood devouring clan in more than a day.
If he didn't go up and drink it himself, sun Shaoyang, a rash ghost, would be ready to continue charging.
The remaining more than 100 people were afraid to be exhausted last night.
In this case, the special combat brigade of Jiangcheng glory Division will be completely extinguished.
”Nonsense! Does he want the designation of the special combat brigade to be extinguished? You, go in person and get the special combat brigade down from the front line! If the man surnamed sun doesn't withdraw, he will be shot on the spot! ”
He slammed the edge of the battlefield sand table in front of him. Cheng Chueh min's face was as heavy as water and roared loudly.
”Yes!”
After receiving Cheng Juemin's order, the guard company commander saluted, put a happy face on his face, and turned and rushed out of the military account.
He also came out of the special combat group. He is also a member of the special combat group.
Just because you want to protect the safety of the chief commander, you can't kill the enemy with your former comrades in arms.
Now the special combat brigade has lost more than half. He doesn't want all his comrades in arms to die in the front line. He wants to bring some people back.
Even if it's only a small part, that's good!
After the guard company commander left, Cheng Juemin immediately went to the sand table and looked at the situation map near jiangdahou mountain with a frown. After two consecutive days of fighting, nearly half of the troops in Jiangcheng glory division have been consumed.
In other words, this battle with other races is almost a meat grinder.
As a commander, he didn't want his soldiers to die like this, but he had no other way.
If there were no need to pile up the number of people, the defense line of the whole Jiangcheng district would have been completely broken through as early as the first night.
Once the defense line of Jiangcheng District breaks through, Jiangcheng, the largest city in Southwest China with a population of hundreds of millions, will be behind it.
At that time, the blood eaters will drive straight in, and there will be no more obstacles.
In fact, not all soldiers died at the hands of blood eaters with such high war damage.
