Xu Le woke up from a nightmare, suddenly felt sad, and sat silently beside the bed in a daze.
I don't know if it was after drinking with Shi Qinghai Xueye to get drunk more than ten days ago, the digestive juices from some glands in the body were like the friendship between men. The word is because Shang Qiu had completed the MXT test three days ago, and he was on his way back to the far-flung star circle, but he still remembered many early mornings when she was standing in the thick snow wearing white and small boots. Like a playful wild cat, it kicks its legs back every time it takes a step. It is a very cute picture, so I am faintly depressed by this emotion.
At this moment, a request for the Federal Central Computer to take the initiative to contact him appeared in his mind—since he made a request for privacy that night, the old man began to be left out in the cold. Knock in advance on doors that do not exist in nothingness.
After answering the request, Xu Le looked at the concise and clear words in his left eye pupil, the virtual three-dimensional picture, and cold sweat burst out from his back instantly, dyeing the cyan military vest as heavy as ink, only then did he understand , It turned out that the terrifying scenes in the dream turned out to be real, it was the old thing calling him through the back door.
Before he could ask the Charter Computer why he entered his dream without his consent, Xu Le hurriedly got up with a gloomy expression, and rushed out of the room after throwing on a coat indiscriminately. He ran to Shi Qinghai's door against the severe cold, kicked the door open, said a few words quickly, then rushed to the location of the regiment headquarters, and without hesitation pressed the emergency assembly button in the regiment headquarters.
In an instant, the shrill alarm sound penetrated the dark night and a few faint snowflakes, and spread throughout the entire military camp, both the officers and soldiers of the New Seventeenth Division 1st Regiment and the soldiers of the Qinglong Mountain Army woke up, although they were extremely uneasy. The solution, but no one dared to ask what happened, silently and quickly put on military uniforms and equipment, and ran towards the snowfield area in front of the regiment headquarters.
Hurley put on his military cap, inserted the H12 pistol into the gun pocket accurately, looked at Xu Le and said, "Instructor, if this is just an exercise, I think it is difficult for us to explain to these guys who were woken up."
In these days, the federal ground forces have been trying to destroy the last remnants of the Imperial Expeditionary Force. However, with the help of the glacier tunnel base that has been in operation for decades, the Imperial soldiers, with the help of the desperate and crazy mood of dying, used the glacier tunnel base that had been operating for decades. It can even be said that under the command of self-mutilation, he did not give in an inch, exhausted all means of combat, and even used primitive and cruel human bomb tactics...
The final battle was extremely bloody. In the 700-square-kilometer glacier war zone, people died every moment. The federal troops, which had an absolute strategic advantage, fought a little terribly under the frantic blocking of the imperial people. Ten days ago, even Du Shaoqing was forced to let Tie Qi Division slow down the pace of clearing the lanes.
However, all this has nothing to do with the 17th Division and the Qinglongshan troop without an official designation. They have never entered the middle of the fierce battlefield, and to this day, even if the Imperial Expeditionary Force is an immortal, it cannot conjure any troops to break through the front. The encirclement of the people killed them to their camp, so the emergency rally sound tonight made many people wonder what happened.
"Second-level authority is top secret. I'm sorry, I can't reveal anything to you. I believe the official order will come down soon. The urgent assembly is to let everyone prepare in advance."
The sound of hurried footsteps and the heavy mechanical sound of the engineering mecha could be heard in Xu Le's ears. After being silent for a while, he said seriously to Herley.
The order for an emergency gathering can only be issued by the top commander of the army. Although his previous actions were not overstepping, they also seriously violated the discipline of the army, but Herre knew what kind of person he was, especially when he saw the rare smear on his face. With a dignified look, the brain has begun to turn rapidly, alert to the major events that are about to happen.
Back then, Xu Leshe was rich and rich. When facing the entire upper class of the Federation alone, he wouldn't even blink his eyelids. However, the news that Charter Computer gave him tonight made him nervous, because this time they were facing The greatest and most ruthless nature that never changes the way of human beings.
At the same time that the 17th Division 1st Regiment and Qinglongshan troops in the Snow Valley sounded an emergency assembly order, at the end of a road that was cut off in the middle of the outer suburbs of the S1 Planetary Special Zone in the distant capital star circle, inside a building that was regarded as a holy place by the federal people, also at the same time. A high-pitched siren sounded.
Cui Judong of the Charter Bureau had just brewed the first cup of scented tea after going to work, but at this time he was not in the mood to taste the fragrance of Huang Yaju. He retracted the finger that activated the alarm, looked at the calculation results on the huge light screen, and couldn't help shaking his head. , I thought that I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to see the most spectacular scene in the universe in this life, but I don’t know if the federal soldiers on that planet have time to evacuate all, and at this moment I can only hope for the old thing’s calculation results. Don't deviate too much.
The charter computer's alarm was immediately transmitted to the President's residence, and a trace of doubt flashed on the dark face of His Excellency Pabble, who was having breakfast with the First Lady, and immediately asked Director Brin next to him: "Can our soldiers withdraw? "
"According to past observations, it will take a long time for the flow on 5460 to start. The Ministry of Defense has just made a decision to transfer all the federal fleet over the Gary Corridor and the battle fleets of 3320 and 163 galaxies. There should be no problem with the evacuation of the troops as the backup transport force of the main star of Shangxilin Administration."
The young Director Brin replied calmly, clearly and accurately, paused for a while and continued: "What needs to be considered now is the time it takes for the ground troops to withdraw to the airborne base, and whether the last remaining forces of the Imperial Army will spare no effort at all. The cost of blocking, delaying the retreat of the troops. Also... After all, this is the first time the planet has experienced the phenomenon of drifting in advance since the federal observation of the 5460 drifting phenomenon nine times, and this time it has been advanced by more than 300 years."
"The Federal Academy of Sciences will hold a symposium on this later..."
"That's not what I care about." President Pabble smiled reassuringly at his nervous wife, turned his head and said sternly: "I only care about the outcome, none of our soldiers can die in those damn ice waters. Tell the National Defense Ministry, if the imperial people really try to delay the retreat of the troops, let the fleet use the main guns to fire directly, and drive all these imperial cubs back into the ice cave."
Director Brin was slightly startled, and subconsciously objected: "But there is still plenty of time. Even if the imperial people understand what happened, they have no good way to prevent us from retreating. The effect of direct fire from the battleship's main guns is not very good. , and the energy consumption is too serious, the Federation's interstellar energy quota this year has actually exceeded 70%."
"Being able to let those young men come back with honor and safety is more important than the energy quota." President Pabble said in a thick and firm voice: "Please make an appointment with Mrs. Tai for me. Regarding the energy quota, the government needs to her help."
in the Department of Defense building.
Zou Yingxing, who was wearing glasses, carefully reviewed the report sent by the Charter Bureau, listened to Secretary Jiao's instructions from the President, a smile flashed on his tired cheek, and said, "According to Mr. President's advice, we will plan to retreat immediately. The plan, please let Commander Zhong decide, I believe, he must also like this best gift given to the Federation by nature."
Xilin main star Federal Command building.
Zhong Shouhu kept rubbing his gray eyebrows with two fingers, looking at all the documents that had just arrived in his hand, he was silent for a long time, and finally a complex smile appeared.
He is about to rush to the front again and directly command the last wave of federal troops to attack. He has enough pride and self-confidence that the victory military operation will be successful. However, unlike the situation on 3320 and 163, the number of imperial troops on planet 5460 is the least, but that The enemy general named Ambry had fought the battle to such an extent that even if he went to sit in the town himself, he would not dare to say that he would be able to save a few federal soldiers from the death of a certain victory.
"It was a big surprise."
In the early hours of the morning, the 17th Division 1st Regiment really received an urgent order from the headquarters. This military order, electronically signed by Deputy Commander Yi, required all participating troops on the ground to immediately evacuate from the Arctic glacier area. On the one hand, the sense of oppression against the imperial people must be maintained, and on the other hand, they must retreat to the predetermined location as quickly as possible.
The words of the order were very cold and fierce, and no objection was allowed from any participating troops. Therefore, in just three hours, the federal troops who were desperately attacking in the ice pit lane in the dark or in the daytime searching for traces of the imperialists, have He started to leave the battle area quickly and without panic, turned into countless black lines, and headed south on the snow field.
Xu Le's 17th Division 1st Regiment and the lucky Qinglongshan troop were the first to prepare to retreat because of a certain back door. Even before the command from the headquarters arrived, he had already forced Herley to give the gangster an order. The formation force forcibly moved 30 kilometers south.
"What exactly happened?"
Herley was sitting in the command car with a complicated expression, looking at the details of the order on the light screen, he was puzzled. If the Federation was preparing to arrange a new battle plan, even if a senior officer like him did not know the strategic intention, he would still It will definitely be blown away, guessing some details, it will never be like tonight, the retreat is inexplicable and confused.
There are still many federal officers and soldiers who have doubts like him. The officers and soldiers of the various participating troops, seeing that at the cost of countless sacrifices and blood, the remnants of the empire have been suppressed and are on the verge of collapse at any time. As a result, the superior gave an order. It is really unacceptable to have to rush southwards, away from the dawn of victory.
In order to prevent panic from spreading among the troops, the upper levels of the federation kept the news tightly within a very small range, and only five generals in the ground troops knew the inside story. Xu Le, who was the first in the federation to know about this matter, understood and agreed with the headquarters' approach, but faced the puzzled gazes of the people around him and felt a little pressured.
