District 9

In the northwest, Xianbian, Zangyuan, and Sichuan areas, the Pu Clan Corps continued to advance across the board yesterday. However, as soon as the nearby garrison troops from the three major regions were transferred, the Pu Clan Corps immediately responded to the popular resistance and ceased fire. , also suspended the advance to the inside.

noon.

In the headquarters camp of the Border Army, a middle-aged man in his fifties, about 1.7 meters tall but extremely strong, was sitting at the dining table eating lunch.

He is Pu Yuan, a native of the Old Triangle area. After the Era, he did not get a quota to enter the fifth district, so he accidentally led a group of brothers to make a living along the highway. Because of his ruthless style and brilliant mind, as well as the complex environment around District 5, he slowly developed and married the daughter of a private armed leader as his wife. From then on, he began the transition from a small private army to a military force.

This resume looks simple to outsiders, but the hardships involved and the story of climbing up from the bottom step by step are enough to write several biographical novels.

In order to ensure the safety of highway lines and coastlines, the fifth district sent troops to eliminate private armed forces. At that time, Pu Yuan was still not very popular. During the escape, his troops were scattered. Two mortars were fired at him. His eldest son and father were all killed, and he was also blinded in one eye. Only then did he He got the nickname Pu Xiazi.

After spending half his life in the military, Pu Yuan's ups and downs created Pu Yuan's glory. Around the fifth district, he was an out-and-out super warlord.

Outside the camp, an officer wearing a light green military uniform walked in, saluted and shouted: "Commander, General Jin from District 5 sent a telegram. He said that the Asian Alliance Government has issued a formal warning letter, ordering us to withdraw within three days." Northwest line, otherwise all military consequences will be borne by the fifth region and our department, and they will agree after a meeting to allow the three regions to send troops to garrison."

Pu Yuan was eating rice from a bamboo tube and asked with a mouth full of oil: "What's the attitude of the fifth district?"

"General Jin means to continue to advance, penetrate another three hundred kilometers in depth, and then garrison in place."

"...Damn you." Pu Yuan took two mouthfuls of rice and said with a slight frown: "There is no turning back arrow when you open the bow. If you hit me, you will definitely not be able to retreat. The Asian League got the benefits but did not help the five The district is talking, the fifth district is using us as knives again, I am not at the mercy of this. Call me back, we can continue to advance, but my two brigades are short of equipment and supplies. If we continue to advance, it may be difficult. Let the fifth district send another five Come over with tens of millions of supplies.”

"Yes!" The officer nodded.

"The garrisons from the three major districts are here. How many are there?" Pu Yuan asked.

"We fought suddenly and they were unable to react in time. There are currently less than 8,000 troops in the front," the officer responded.

"Take the supplies and continue to advance across the board. I'll defeat these 8,000 people within three days." Pu Yuan ate the bamboo tube rice cleanly without leaving a grain of rice: "The 193rd Brigade responsible for the attack should retreat and repair. Let 197 go up."

"good!"

…

It's around eight o'clock in the evening.

The 041st Regiment of the First Theater District of the Ninth Special Zone, which was transferred from the western defense line, has been camping in place for nearly a day.

In the compound of the camp, the regiment leader came down personally to inspect the garrison situation, his face solemn.

"The weather here is too abnormal. We are on the road again. The soldiers can't bear the torment and they all react." The chief of staff next to him said softly: "There are more than 30,000 people in the Pu Department and the momentum is strong. If there is a real war Come here, we can handle it."

The regiment leader put his hands behind his back, licked his lips and said: "I called the superiors. The Asian Alliance Government has officially warned the fifth district. The Pu faction army has also stopped today and has not continued to advance. Personally, I feel that we still need to talk. Yes, otherwise what a huge battle this would cause! The three major regions will definitely not leave the northwest front alone. If they increase their troops at the same time, then the war will really start across the entire front here."

"Yes." The chief of staff nodded.

"Oh, I hope we don't fight." The group leader sighed: "If we do, the people in the area to be planned will suffer."

"Pu Xiazi is really a man. I heard that he still has 20,000 people in the west." The chief of staff slowly shook his head and said: "If there is a real fight, the sky in the northwest will turn completely red."

"We will do whatever is ordered from above." The regiment leader glanced around the camp and said seriously: "During the garrison, everything will be deployed in accordance with the first-level combat readiness. All units and individuals must strictly implement the night duty code. Once If something goes wrong in any link, I will shoot him directly!"

"I'll arrange it right away."

After several people discussed it, they immediately returned to the camp.

…

It's past 11 o'clock in the night.

Outside the camp of the 197th Brigade of the Xianbian Pu Regiment, hundreds of military vehicles hurried over, and a large number of soldiers in charge of logistics were lined up in four columns, waiting quietly.

The convoys were numbered outside the camp, and each group of thirty vehicles entered the camp in batches to unload.

Food, cotton-padded clothes, boxes of artillery shells and ammunition wrapped in moisture-proof cloth were unloaded by the soldiers from the vehicles and stacked like mountains in the logistics camp.

…

About an hour and a half later, three soldiers were on routine patrol outside the defense area of ​​the 1st Battalion of the 041 Garrison Regiment.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the earth seemed to tremble suddenly, and the dark sky in the north direction was instantly illuminated.

The three soldiers immediately stopped and looked to that side in horror.

"It's over...it's over, cannon, it's the sound of cannon!"

"Enemy attack!!!" A soldier yelled while tearing his neck, turned around and ran back.

"Boom, boom, boom!!"

The artillery shells were dense, falling like a torrential rain, and the first battalion's defense area instantly turned into a sea of ​​flames. The soldier who was running back was hit by shrapnel from an artillery shell that exploded on the road. His whole body was blown to pieces, and half of his body collapsed in the trench, still twitching.

"Buzz!"

When the alarm sounded, the leader of the 041 regiment rushed out of the camp and fired into the sky: "The enemy is attacking, all combat units, assemble immediately!! At the forward observation point, report immediately to the enemy's gathering place, hurry up...!"

North side.

The 197th Brigade of the Pu Army Corps advanced across the board and killed everyone on sight. They couldn't identify which village had civilian armed forces, so they simply killed them all to ensure the safety of the rear.

…

In Fengbei, in a single-family villa behind the Military Council, a white-haired old man walked out of the front door in his pajamas. He cursed with a very gloomy face: "This shitty Pu Yuan is not over yet. Notice one or two Members of the Theater Command will come to the Military Council for a meeting immediately!"

Yanbei.

Gu Tai'an walked into the war room of the First Army of the First War Zone and ordered succinctly: "Departure troops, rush to the firefighting location as quickly as possible and formally engage the enemy."

"District Nine and District Seven have not responded yet."

"Too slow, I can't wait any longer!" Gu Taian's shoulders shook off his military coat, he slapped the table and shouted: "Fuck, kill my people, if you want Pu Yuan to retreat to the northwest front in one piece Besides, I will shoot you!"
