"Squad leader! The cemetery has been dug! We made a coffin for the old man out of nearby wood. This is the brother's wish." The soldier with the shovel came in and saluted.
"Well, I'll go right away." Zeng Xia said to the communications soldier, "You hurry up and contact them, and don't let go of the news from the battalion headquarters."
"Comrade Li Tiansuo, what are you looking at?"
Li Tiansuo, who was squatting on the ground and getting up slowly, felt uneasy facing the expressway, which was built on a river.
And it just divides Goose City City and Goose City East District.If it is blown up, it can also have the same effect as the obelisk.
"I'll talk about it later." Li Tiansuo put on the rainproof hood again and walked out.
When you come to the cemetery on the mountainside, there is no stereotype that the cemetery is gloomy and gloomy. On the contrary, it is very neat, and there are warrior statues and flowers that you can see from time to time. Peaceful atmosphere.
The old soldiers were buried in the dug pit by the young men hand in hand, due to lack of stones.
Therefore, we can only temporarily cut out one from the corpse of the earth dragon, and collect some flowers from the surrounding area as much as possible.
"All! Fire the guns!"
With an order, the soldiers who adjusted the rifle shooting mode to single shot fired a volley towards the sky, another round every three seconds, and each shot carried the greatest respect for the dead.
Even if everyone has never met before, his dedication and qualifications are worthy of the soldiers and must be done.
There were three full rounds, and the interval between each round was three seconds. The white mist surrounded the muzzle for a long time and did not dissipate.
The rain washed every soldier's body, but they stood upright and offered deep condolences to the veterans with their eyes.
"Salute!" Zeng Xia motioned for the soldiers to bury the soil.
His deep sleep does not mean the end, everyone present will remember him, and so will the younger generation under his protection.
The mission of the older generation has been fulfilled. They have defended the country with their whole lives, made proud capital with their fists, and passed on the spirit and will of the past.
Now it's the turn of the new generation to take over.
Chapter 81 Distress Signal
"Are they burying a dead person? It's too grand." Ashes standing on guard on the steps looked at this scene in puzzlement.
She understood that the deceased deserved to be buried, but the situation was too great, but the deceased was obviously a person whom he had never met, so why did he deserve such a big gift?
"Is it hard to understand?" asked the sympathetic chariot.
"Isn't it just an administrator?" Ashes still didn't understand.
"But he was a soldier before. He guarded this country and allowed the people of this country to live happily, including VIPs." Chariot explained.
"How did you know?"
"The soldiers put medals on him, as well as the military uniform. A person who is worthy of these honors must be a worthy soldier." Chariot replied.
"Before our country is divided, we will treat the veterans who have made outstanding contributions to the league in the same way. They are worthy, and we should be like this as younger generations."
"..." Ashes fell silent.
"Be optimistic, what would you do if an old Jewish man who killed thousands of NC members and saved your grandmother died?" The poisonous smoke tried to ease the atmosphere.
"I must see him off in person."
"Same, I will go too."
During the brief conversation, the team that saw the veterans off was disbanded, and most of the people present still had their own things to do, and it was time to find time for a funeral ceremony.
Zeng Xia and Li Tiansuo returned to the temporary camp at the same time. The soldiers speeded up the construction of the field kitchen.
"Squad leader! I just received a message from the 17th Brigade. Their communication equipment was severely damaged, and they could only use the old-fashioned radio to send telegrams to us." The communication soldier reported the situation.
"What message did they send us?" Zeng Xia, who had already collected his mood, devoted himself to work.
That's the only way to make yourself feel better.
This damned doomsday!If it weren't for it!The old man will definitely not leave just like that!
He should also be enshrined in the memorial hall, instead of everyone sending him off so hastily.
It's so unfair, this terrible and disgusting end times.
"It's a distress signal!"
The communications soldier handed the translated text to Zeng Xia: "I've already written the content above, please take a look."
"Okay..." Zeng Xia also showed the translated text to Li Tiansuo.
The current situation of the 17th Brigade was written on it. They had received an order four days ago to protect the residents in the eastern district of Goose City, and then waited for the large troops in Goose City to assemble.But the situation was getting worse day by day. First, he was attacked by a large number of monsters.
Then there were earthquakes and floods. As a last resort, the 17th Brigade could only divide its troops to fight the disaster and save the people. This also led to the dilution of the 17th Brigade's troops and constant attacks from monsters.
The originally full-staffed brigade now has less than half its strength.
But now, the rested 17th Brigade decided to take a risk after seeing the beam of the obelisk. They planned to escort the people over from the inter-district highway. This was their last bet and the only way.
Otherwise, the people in the eastern district of Goose City will die in the mouth of monsters.Because the 17th brigade also knew that it was impossible to fight monsters in a district by themselves.What's more, other monsters are also gathering in Goose City one after another.
If you don't take action, everything will be over.
"..." Zeng Xia was silent for a long, long time after reading the report of the 17th brigade.
He has no right to decide on such a big matter. How could he decide on such a dangerous matter by himself.
Not to mention whether they can come over, whether they will be attacked by monsters to attack the newly established stronghold is another question.And what about the eating and drinking of tens of thousands of people?
"How far are they from us?" Zeng Xia's emotion still failed to overcome his reason.
It stands to reason that he shouldn't care about this matter, and he can even pass it off as a fart, but he can't pass that threshold.
The 17th Brigade has been put together like this, so why can't they just sit back and ignore it?What's more, they protect the people.
"According to the last telegram exchange, it is about 20 kilometers away. I don't consider mobility and only consider walking. It is estimated..."
"You can reach us around 1:[-] in the morning." Li Tiansuo gave the answer.
He pointed to the river-crossing bridge on the map, and said, "If they are taking this route, this is the time. Otherwise, it will take at least two days, but they can come over this passage, and so can the monsters from the East."
Infrastructure equipment like roads has always been two-way. It can be used by your own people and the enemy can also use it, but there is no such thing as identification between friend and foe.
Unless - you blow it up.
Don't use anyone!
"Then don't we have to set up defenses on the bridge? There are only more than 40 of us?" Zeng Xia squatted down to carefully look at the situation of the highway and the bridge.
This is not happy to defend, such a large defensive area.Unless the fortifications are sufficient and a company of troops is added.
Otherwise, monsters can kill you with a wave of attack at any time.But the problem is, everyone has nothing now.
And the mission and significance of this army is to activate the obelisks before the monsters gather in Goose City. How can it be possible to guard the bridge?
It's a big taboo for military strategists to not dare to do business and go to work on extra tasks!
It's not in an rpg game, if the princess is not rescued, nothing will happen. The reality is that it changes every minute and every second. Even though seven days are plenty of time, if you really care about it, the time left for everyone may be three days.
"Theoretically, the Catachan Jungle Warriors and the Krieg Death Corps can be used as a battalion's combat power." Li Tiansuo replied seriously.
Is it time for me to argue with you about this kind of thing!
Zeng Xia looked at Li Tiansuo's serious face and asked back: "Comrade Li Tiansuo, tell me, do you want to guard the bridge? Then save the 17th Brigade?"
"This is unrealistic. We have very few people, and we are even less likely to do what a brigade can't do!"
"Who says we have to help them with troops and fire?"
Li Tiansuo pointed to an area at the intersection of the expressway and the bridgehead: "We just need to set up a stronghold in this area in advance to meet them and give them time to rest and prepare."
"The rest is handed over to the 17th Brigade to resist the monsters. Our priority is to save the people, not to deal with the monsters."
"What? How can we prepare the needs of tens of thousands of people who can't reach half of us!" Zeng Xia once wondered if Li Tiansuo was crazy.
The soldiers of Goose City University's two companies that were busy with tens of thousands of people were dizzy. He actually thought about letting his group of people who were running special operations prepare supplies for tens of thousands of people.
Is this realistic?What about the follow-up camp?What if the monster breaks through the defense of the 17th Brigade?
Is it impossible to let tens of thousands of ordinary people die at the mouth of monsters? !
"First of all, we have an obelisk. It is impossible for monsters to attack the defense area. What we have to do is to respond and let them know that the obelisk's shelter range is reliable."
Li Tiansuo explained slowly: "They can protect the common people after walking 20 kilometers, so naturally they can continue to protect them by relying on the obelisk."
"This is one of the meanings of our activation of the obelisk!"
"!!" Zeng Xia seemed to understand something.
"Squad leader! Excuse me. The battalion headquarters is calling. It's from the battalion commander. He has something to do with you." The communications soldier handed the intercom and headset to Zeng Xia.
Chapter 82 Bombing the Bridge?
"Commander, this is Squad [-]. I'm Zeng Xia. What instructions do you have?" Zeng Xia took the things and immediately reported the situation: "We just occupied the obelisk located in the Martyrs Cemetery, and now we are building a camp for the convenience of friendly troops. Amenities in the area are readily available.”
"Thank you for your hard work." The lieutenant colonel was very happy with the news.
He originally thought that it would take at least two days for Li Tian's group to conquer the obelisk below, but he didn't expect to take it in half a day. The remaining two must be easy?
In this way, I can also apply for more support and troops from my superiors, and strive to fight a beautiful turnaround in Goose City!
"Is Comrade Li Tiansuo here?"
"I'm here, what instructions does the chief have?" Li Tiansuo asked aloud.
"The method of using the obelisk you taught has been certified and approved by the General Army, and you are specially awarded the honorary title of First Class Merit and Civilian Hero. At the same time, when the war situation stabilizes, the National Defense University will invite you to study."
"If you intend to join the army, we will go through the relevant procedures for you immediately, and the relevant titles will be reissued after you accept the complete formal officer assessment."
"..." Li Tian was silent.
"Aside from my personal affairs, is there anything else?"
What Li Tian didn't believe was that the lieutenant colonel was just telling himself the good news. Are first-class merit and the title of civilian hero important?
Of course it is important, but compared to the current situation, Li Tian has no difference between having these two things.
Honor can only show its true role in peaceful times.
What's more, I haven't seen my medal yet!It would be even better if this thing could be exchanged for supplies.
"How big is the obelisk you occupy?" Lieutenant Colonel put away his joy when he heard Li Tian's tone without emotion.
What is going on with this young man?I'm so happy for him, it's weird that he's still calm.
"It's bigger than Goose City University, just covering the entire main road, martyr's cemetery, and part of the expressway." Zeng Xia replied.
"No extension to the cross-district bridge?"
"No……"
"..." The lieutenant colonel suddenly fell silent.
Shouldn't...
Li Tiansuo, who had already had a premonition, felt that something very bad was about to happen.
"The headquarters has just issued an order. In order to reduce the pressure on the front line in the city of Goose City, an air attack will be carried out to destroy the cross-river bridge connecting the eastern district."
The lieutenant colonel replied regretfully: "If the coverage of the obelisk can reach there, maybe there is no need to destroy it."
"But now, I'm afraid the original plan must be carried out. The bridge must be blown up. Otherwise, the monsters converging on Goose City can easily enter the city through it, and the city is no longer able to take action against them."
"No!" Zeng Xia rejected this order in an excited tone: "What about the 17th Brigade? Aren't they rushing to our city from the Eastern District?"
"They will gather in the direction of Guancheng. Their forces have been dispersed, and they cannot be assembled according to the original plan." The lieutenant colonel replied.
And because of this, the bridge had to be blown up.After all, Goose City has lost a brigade of support troops. If it is not bombed, will it be taken down by monsters?
On the other side, the 6th division, they themselves are no longer able to protect themselves. When they arrive at Echeng University, it is estimated that Li Tiansuo has already activated the obelisk.
Instead of believing that the 6th Division can show a miracle and tear up the hole and kill them from the direction of the fishing village, it is better to pray that the military regions in other regions can help the brothers.
But there is a shortage of people in the nearby war zones, and the war zones that were caught off guard can only protect themselves first, and then save other good brothers according to the situation.
Especially in the war zone of Yangcheng, this meeting is really crazy, it has smashed the combat power of the two armies one after another, and I can't stand the gang of monsters who don't know where to come out.
Because of this, Yangcheng, as the big brother, was unable to send troops to rescue the younger brothers in the nearby area.
After all, in the peaceful age, the strength of the army is just like this. How can one expect a high-intensity war to suddenly come one day.
As for mobilization for war?It will take time, at least a month.
