Chapter 40: Xiushuihe Town(2/2)

After taking the folder, Langman entered his permissions to decrypt it, and he felt bitter.

"Your Excellency?" Poirot, who was standing beside him, asked tentatively when he saw that Langman's expression was wrong.

"Marson Belif asked us to take down Sunset Mountain as soon as possible," Langman handed the document to Poirot: "He seemed to be unable to wait. The headquarters of the base camp has moved forward."

Poirot looked moved and quickly browsed the commands in his hand.

Although modern technology has long allowed the General Staff Headquarters to guide operations far away from several galaxies, the Army's operations have still followed the tradition of thousands of years, setting the General Staff Headquarters in the strategic depth of the war planet, and the distance from the Front Staff Headquarters changes with the situation.

The forward movement of the General Staff Headquarters is a strong signal.

That represents the dissatisfaction of the Supreme Commander with the frontline combat, and is a traditional and implicit but unquestionable way of urging.

For any front-line commander, the General Staff Headquarters that move step by step are like death talismans after death.

Once the headquarters of the base camp moves forward to the position that can replace the front-line troops' staff, or even overlap, it means that the front-line commander will lose his command and can only watch humiliatedly, and be demoted after the war, or even be questioned and tried.

"His Excellency Langman," Poirot pondered for a while, and whispered hesitantly: "Marson Belif has always been calm and cautious. In our combat plan, the deadline for breaking through Sunset Mountain has not yet arrived. Why did the base camp ignore it before, but now it is suddenly anxious?"

Langman looked up at Poirot, and his eyes were all standing on his back when they touched.

The thoughts circling in his mind quickly became clear. Langman turned around and ordered: "Check me out how long has the battle report in Frenzo Town not been here!"

Xiushuihe Town is located on the banks of Xiushuihe River and is adjacent to Qixing Town in the north. The two towns are only twenty kilometers apart.

Although they are both located in the mountainous areas in the western part of the Xiyang Mountain Basin, in addition to having a complete highway system, the two places are also connected to the No. 5, No. 6 and No. 8 resource highways, with very convenient transportation. They are the first gateway to the northwest mining area and the cold zone into the warm southeast.

Just ten years after the discovery of Leifeng Star, human immigrants appeared in the Phoenix Plain.

The early Sunset Mountain Basin was not a settlement for humans. However, as time went by, the population immigrated to Leifeng Star became more and more numerous, and with the reproduction and thriving of humans, the demand for land and resources became increasingly greater.

When rare metal ores were found in the Xiyang Mountain Basin and energy sources such as natural gas and oil, which had a huge reserves, human footprints extended here.

With the discovery and development of the Northwest mining area, the Sunset Mountain Basin, which has a complete industrial foundation and convenient transportation, has become the most important industrial satellite city in Phoenix City.

Qixing Town and Xiushuihe Town are the two major cities of Xiyangshan Satellite City.

Qixing Town is built against the mountains, and Xiushuihe Town is built by the water. The center of the town is a prosperous commercial area, with shopping malls and office buildings lined up. The outer edges are surrounded by the airport terminals, and there are several major industrial areas and material distribution markets. Both towns are typical spider-web-style layouts.

If in a peaceful era, standing in the distance and looking out, you can see busy traffic flow, bustling crowds, loading and unloading arms that constantly stretch and retract, transport ships and shuttles that take off and land frequently.

And in this war era, everything has changed.

The curtain wall of the Space City in the center of the city is covered with large dark holes, and the collapsed floors reveal broken floors and messy rooms. On both sides of the city streets, there are ruins of broken bricks and tiles piled up.

Waist-high weeds had grown in the gaps on the ground of the airport. The waiting hall was full of holes standing quietly, looking at the repair workshop that had collapsed most of the time.

The adjacent industrial zone factory buildings and warehouses have been abandoned for a long time. The steel frame is covered with brown rust. The originally glamorous signs and advertisements have become ragged, and fragments are swaying in the wind, touching the iron frame one after another, making a clanging sound.

If it weren't for the dense trenches and fortresses built on factory buildings, if it weren't for the dense trenches and the fierce exchange of fire from time to time from afar, people might have thought that these were two dead cities.

Corporal Dou Mi raised his waist and drilled out of the gap between two concrete floors. He looked at the intersection at the southern end of the street with a vigilant look, and then rushed across the street quickly with a portable energy cannon.

It was not until he ran to the corner of a gray building that he had collapsed, that he sat down against the wall and gasped.

Next to him, several Chuckner soldiers who had been following him also stopped and sat down in a row, gasping violently while vigilantly observing the movements around with the pair of clear eyes on his dirty face.

Two soldiers blocked both ends of this corner one by one, and put the guns in their hands on the ruins, scanning the intersections where enemies might appear.

This is the East District of Xiushuihe Town.

Since Seuss' lightning invaded Sunset Mountain, the Xiushui River defenders have relied on the stable positions and sufficient materials on the periphery.

From the road to the suburbs of the city, then from the suburbs to the downtown area, and finally, there is endless street fighting.

The west and south areas of Xiushuihe Town have fallen into the hands of the Seus people.

Dou Mi heard that last night, the troops entering the West District and the roundabout troops attacked friendly positions in the North District. The battles all night were bloody, and many streets in the North District had fallen into the hands of the enemy.

The news was obviously true. When he woke up from the basement of an abandoned building in the Will Industrial Zone in the morning, he saw that there were a lot of wounded soldiers and medical staff in the temporary camp.

Most of the wounded soldiers were soldiers of the Second Regiment stationed in the North District.

A heavy rain in the morning made the whole sky gray. In the clearings between the ruins, the gray and black sewage was foaming over the ankles. The medical tent temporarily built in the ruins made crackling sounds in the rain.

The factory workshop with holes and ceilings full of holes turned into a temporary hospital. Hundreds of soldiers were lying on stretchers, staring blankly at the raindrops flying from the holes on the tall ceiling.

Medical staff were busy nervously. Some civilian girls acted as nurses. When they saw the wounded's terrifying wounds or the white and red bones that pierced the skin, their faces turned pale and their nerves were a little fragile. They either vomited to death or cried to their bodies.

When so many soldiers gathered together, the scene was indeed spectacular.

Dou Mi believed that those girls would survive this level. At least before he led his team away, he had already seen a few girls with ugly faces gathered up the courage to help.

Among these girls, there was a girl with long, soft black hair, curved eyebrows, and very delicate.

Dou Mi naturally thought of her and naturally felt that if she could get to know her, even if she needed to lie on the hospital bed, it would be no big deal.

I just don't know if I have a chance.

He spat hard and looked at the time.

There is still one block away from the destination, and there is still twenty minutes left. This means that his actions are ahead of schedule and he still has plenty of time to post for a while.

He gasped and suddenly felt a pain in his heart.

In this city, there are Seus people everywhere, and their ugly mechas are everywhere. If the North District is lost, the troops will only be left as the East District. If today's counterattack cannot achieve any effect, perhaps the enemy will rush into the East District at night.

At that time, where could that girl hide?

This may be her last battle, or her last day.

What was she doing when she fell in front of the enemy's mecha?

Are you bandaging the wounded or trying to stuff her long black hair into the nurse's hat? When time passes and the war is over and she survives, will she know that on this morning, a corporal who is dirty and smelly, stares at her for ten minutes?

Dou Mi shook her head, amused by her sudden random thoughts.

The armored battalion where he was located was affiliated with the Chuckner 352 Armored Division. The main force of the division had retreated to the Sunset Mountain Satellite City. Only this battalion stayed in Xiushuihe Town because of its closure.

After a long and fierce battle, there were only less than a hundred mechas left in the entire battalion. The aircraft officers who lost the mechas picked up the infantry's weapons, not only did the few companions beside them, dozens of hours ago, they were even cooks who were playing with large spoons in the mechanical repairmen or kitchen squad.

Thinking of this, Dou Mi turned her head and looked at the bearded Alan who was following behind him.

Alan stared at Dou Mi inexplicably.

Dou Mi smiled and a row of white teeth appeared on her face, which was so dirty that she could not see her skin.

Alan, a black-hearted chef, is really not a big deal. He killed two Seus soldiers with a kitchen knife yesterday.

At that time, the wind and clouds changed color, and his murderous intent stood on the ruins covered in blood, completely breaking his sinister face of blowing his nose while cooking. For a moment, he was shocked by the soldiers and flattered him all night.

Unfortunately, there are too few cooks like Allen.

This was the last counterattack of the Xiushuihe Town Guards. The 352nd Division, the 1913th Division, and some different numbers of Chakner soldiers who retreated from the front line further west, all emerged from all corners of the city today and gathered to fight.

Although there are less than a thousand mechas and the rest are infantry, the command still hopes to launch an offensive south at the last moment to delay the progress of the Seusians.

Dou Mi looked at the time again, stood up, rushed to the alert soldier quickly, and whispered to him to observe the situation around him.

Dou Mi was confused by the warrior's answer while shaking his head.

Although the Seuss had not yet attacked the East District, their attack had never stopped outside the East District defense line.

And I had already passed through two blocks where Seus people usually rushed over, but I did not find any Seus people, and I didn't even hear any firefighting sounds.

Everything seems so abnormal.

However, this is a good thing for Dou Mi after all. As long as he passes through the next block, he can enter the predetermined position and then launch a counterattack against the enemy in fifteen minutes.

At that time, many Chuckners would rush out from all corners of the city's ruins and rushed towards the enemy without hesitation.

He made a gesture and was about to order to continue moving forward. Suddenly, several cannons came from afar.

The sound seemed to suddenly enter the range that the ear could receive from a very far place. It was first far and slight, but gradually became louder. In the end, it was rumbling and thunder, sweeping towards this side.

Dou Mi looked at his watch for the third time, suddenly waved his hand to the confused soldiers, and then jumped out first.

The troops must have started in advance!
