The bandits did not expect that the Starlight Armed Forces would launch a sudden attack.

When the artillery array was blown up, the Starlight Armed Forces charged very quickly, making it difficult for the gang to suppress them effectively.

Although there was only one battalion responsible for the main attack, in order to cover them, Hu Yihan ordered two basic artillery shells to rush to the bandits' station to bombard them. At the same time, he also mobilized two tanks to rush forward and fire directly, arranging a large force attack.

posture.

Getai did not realize that the Starlight Armed Forces were conducting a feint attack. He thought they wanted to take advantage of the artillery group being destroyed to further encroach on the territory, so he issued a retreat order.

This played into Hu Yihan's plan. During the retreat of the bandits, Lin Xun began to lead his team to break out. When the group met with the large army, only five of them were left.

Ten times the casualties were exchanged for five men. In terms of battle losses, this was a loss-making deal.

Hu Yihan knew this clearly from the moment he dispatched troops, but he also knew Ning Zhe's feelings for Lin Xun, so he had to save this man. Although Hu Yihan told all the officers that he saves people equally, no matter who is being saved.

Troops would be sent to rescue anyone who was trapped, but when he saw the bodies that were carried back, he asked himself whether he would have made this decision if the person surrounded by bandits at that time was not Lin Xun.

War is cruel. Its cruelty is not only that soldiers have to face life and death, but also that commanders have to endure suffering and make the choice to trade one life for another.

…

The feint attack by the Starlight Armed Forces completely angered Getai.

The opponent's large-scale attack and then sudden stop made Getai feel that the opponent was playing a trick on them, and he quickly called all the leaders of several gangs on the front line to his tent.

The lights in the tent attracted many flying insects. Getai sat at the table with a pale face and said to the others: "Kujiao Canyon is our territory in the east of the river. Now those blind guys have broken into the east of the river.

Moreover, we cannot tolerate this kind of provocation over and over again. My idea is to launch a direct counterattack! Drive the Starlight Armed Forces out of Medicine Stone Valley and cut off their water source first!"

"Third Master, this kind of thing is too risky!" A bandit leader said to Getai: "Before we entered the Kujiao Canyon, the Starlight Armed Forces had already occupied the Yaoshi Valley. I'm afraid they had already built fortifications. Let's rush up now.

, that means going to war with the enemy under their fire, which is a loss-making deal!"

"What we are fighting for is human lives. Why don't you lose your money?" Getai cursed, patted the table and said: "Now they have entered our territory. Facing such a group of provocative bastards, if we can't even fight back

If you don’t even dare, wouldn’t you be laughed at?”

"We can fight, but we have to wait for artillery support." Another bandit said to Getai with a frown: "The people in front now are all our brothers. Everyone works for Jingtai Company. Let's take

Since we have lost resources, we naturally can’t retreat, but we can’t let our brothers just be cannon fodder for nothing, right?”

"Are you going to fucking disobey me?"

Getai stared and was about to draw his gun, but was quickly persuaded by the other bandit leaders, but the attitude of everyone at the moment was very clear, as if they were not prepared to be cannon fodder.

In the end, Getai could only take a step back: "Now the Starlight Armed Forces occupy Yaoshi Valley. When the water source is guaranteed, they are not afraid of consumption at all. The reason why our previous shelling did not push them back is because they also

We know the importance of the water source, so we must capture Yaoshi Valley. I can wait for the new artillery to come over. You should also immediately prepare your troops for battle. As soon as the artillery arrives, I will press on!

"

…

Hexi desert area.

The land fortress that Ning Zhe was riding in had already caught up with the two regiments heading towards the Hedong area on foot. While resting, he dialed Hu Yihan's phone number.

Hu Yihan's voice soon came from the receiver: "Azhe?"

Ning Zhe looked serious and asked anxiously: "How is Jiao Baldzi's condition?"

"The Third Battalion has called me back. They have picked up Jiao Tuzi and are currently rescuing him." Hu Yihan's tone was also a little low: "There are no regular military doctors at the Third Battalion, only the barefoot doctors from the gang.

, and there is a lack of corresponding drugs, I have asked Zhang Fang to contact the military doctor to provide remote guidance, but according to the feedback, Jiao Baldzi's situation is not optimistic, I am afraid we have to prepare for the worst."

Ning Zhe sighed deeply: "I have already said hello to Zhang Fang and asked him to lead the medical team to provide support. I hope it will be in time."

Hu Yihan responded: "I have drafted an order here and am preparing to pass it on, that is, all war supervisors are not allowed to participate in the battle to reduce the casualties of high-level officials."

"No, we can't do this." Ning Zhe objected: "We recruit bandits not to use them, but to prepare them to become our armed forces. The meaning of armed forces is to entrust our safety to them.

In our hands, these people are our protection in the future, so we must not issue such an obviously privileged order. This kind of thing can be communicated in private, otherwise the morale of the military will be lost when even we ourselves dare not go to the battlefield.

"

"I was also a little too anxious because of Jiao Tuzi's matter." After Ning Zhe reminded him, Hu Yihan responded: "I understand, then I will inform them privately."

"Compared to others, you must pay attention to your own safety. If others are arms, you and Zhang Fang are my backbone. If something goes wrong between you two, my waist will be really broken." Ning Zhe warned,

Then he continued to ask: "How is the war going?"

"Everything is normal at the moment. The terrain of the Kujiao Canyon is complex and not suitable for large-scale attacks, so both sides are testing each other. We have no demands for an attack, and the gangsters have not acted too aggressively. I think their progress is so

There should be two reasons for the slowness. The first is that the troops in Xinge Desert have not yet fully deployed, and the second is because we have not figured out the reality of our defense here."

Ning Zhe responded: "I will set off as soon as possible to the Kujiao Canyon to support you. If nothing happens, I will be able to reach the front line in another six to seven hours."

Hu Yihan responded: "The terrain of Kujiao Canyon is long and narrow. Our troops are currently lined up. Even if you come, you can't help much. So I suggest you go directly to Xinge Desert. It's for your escort."
