When the system's voice fell, Hu Biao's expression was full of deep bitterness, and a voice in his heart kept wailing:
He's going to die, he's going to die! It's actually the worst guess in his mind.
This mission is actually known as the most brutal Battle of Songhu on the battlefield of Eastern China during World War II.
In such a major battle that lasted for three months, both sides invested a total of millions of troops, involving the three major arms of the sea, land and air.
Facing the enemy's overwhelming equipment and epoch-making three-dimensional combat method, China suffered heavy losses.
First of all, it can be said that the elite force of the German Armsmen, who was directly under Baldhead, was severely damaged in the first battle; the maritime force, which was not very strong in the first place, was basically wiped out.
Secondly, almost all local armed forces such as the Sichuan Army, Gui Army, Guangdong Army, Northeast Army, and Northwest Army participated in this battle; the general public also took action and provided support in various ways.
It can be said that this is a people's assembly battle involving the whole country and united as one.
The miscellaneous troops in these places all suffered heavy casualties in this great battle.
Many of them traveled thousands of kilometers and suffered heavy losses along the way. The remaining people died soon after entering the battle.
It can be said that after traveling thousands of miles, he died fighting for his country.
Based on the attributes of this "security group" and "replenishment battalion", Hu Biao and the others are obviously destined to be cannon fodder.
In the end, if we include the losses during the retreat, our casualties reached an astonishing 300,000 people; among them, 14 senior officers, including generals, were martyred, and countless school officers and lieutenant officers died in battle.
Before the war, the Japanese, who were so arrogant and boasted that they could conquer China within 3 months, were not easy either.
You must know that this is the early stage of the war, and the island country's army is considered to be in its heyday. Except for the 4th Division, each of the seventeen permanent Class A divisions has strong combat effectiveness.
As a result, in this battle, even though they used a large number of Class A divisions, they claimed to have suffered more than 40,000 casualties.
In fact, according to objective statistics from later generations, the Japs actually suffered more than 60,000 casualties.
So encountering such a mission world is simply the worst outcome for Hu Biao.
What is even more speechless is that the Luodian battlefield they are about to arrive at is one of the famous flesh and blood mills.
For such a small town with an area of only 2 square kilometers and a transportation node, the two sides invested a large amount of troops in a fierce battle. The town changed hands 13 times.
The news media at the time specifically commented on this battle as follows:
Corpses piled up like mountains, blood flowed like rivers, and the entire town was completely ruined, with only scorched earth remaining. It was so cruel that it was unbearable to see.
Then Hu Biao and the others have a high chance of becoming one of the many tattered corpses in the scorched earth in their next mission.
The question is, under the system's mission, do Hu Biao and the others have a choice? They can only bite the bullet and fill it in with their unlucky netizens...
When Hu Biao took a deep breath and tried to digest the bad news.
Hu Biao's immediate boss, the major battalion commander of the security regiment's supplementary battalion, spoke again:
"Captain Hu, the command given to us by the superior officer is a fatal order. We must arrive at the outer positions of Luodian before 8 o'clock tonight; otherwise, all officers above the platoon will be shot on the spot.
I asked just now, and now our Luodian is still thirty or more miles away; so we immediately gathered the remaining personnel and set off, and the wounded could only be handed over to the fellow civilians."
When he said this, he saw Hu Biao's face looking as ugly as death.
He comforted me by saying, "My young master Hu, you don't have to worry so much anymore.
I heard that the fighting at the Luodian battlefield was very scary, but no matter what, it was still a matter for the regular army such as the 11th Division and the 67th Division. Our supplementary battalion used to help with some auxiliary logistics.
Even if we, the peasants who have just picked up guns, are willing to go up, the officers may not be willing.
So, Master Hu, as long as you don’t run around, you will be fine; by the way! Are you from the Third Company?"
"I was frightened by the Japanese plane and ran away. I will go and find it for them right away."
When he heard such a question, Hu Biao had actually adjusted his mood and started talking nonsense again.
Then, he lifted up the bicycle on the ground and quickly bundled some supplies on the back seat; the back seat had been modified accordingly, making it very convenient to bundle supplies.
After finishing it, Hu Biao hurriedly rode towards the distance.
The main reason is that according to the tasks released by the system, regardless of the fact that it takes 6 hours to travel more than 30 miles, at first glance it does not seem to be difficult at all.
According to the PLA emergency march standard, at a speed of almost 10 kilometers per hour, it means that you can get to the place in less than 2 hours.
With the help of bicycles, it seems like three hours would be enough for these weaklings.
But don't forget that along the way you not only have to keep your head down and rush, but you also have to face situations such as air raids that appear overhead from time to time.
In short, according to the experience of Hu Biao and others, every task of the system is not so easy to complete.
Therefore, Hu Biao now needs to seize the time and summon netizens over quickly.
But after Hu Biao pedaled tens of meters, the additional battalion commander behind him shouted again, which almost caused the bicycle Hu Biao was pedaling to overturn:
"Young Master Hu, please take off that tattered coat quickly. Wearing such a dazzling thing on the battlefield, don't you think you will die quickly enough..."
A few minutes later, Hu Biao successfully found a half-collapsed warehouse on the roadside with no one inside.
After making sure that no one was around, Hu Biao took off his windbreaker and stuffed it into a big bag.
After doing all this, he said to the air:
"System, start summoning netizens immediately! Please give priority to summoning netizens who participated in the last task, and if there are insufficient, new netizens will be used to make up for it."
"Okay, summon netizens to start immediately." The system's cold mechanical voice came as promised.
At the same time, Hu Biao also said silently in his heart: "Newcomers, please take your place~"
******
When the cold call of the system sounded in the heads of Yang Dongli and others, in fact, in the modern plane, only a mere second or two had passed since Hu Biao disappeared.
All the veterans who had been waiting for a long time made the same choice without any hesitation: accept the call.
Then, their figures disappeared one after another at the same time.
The only difference is that the specific supplies they carried with them when they disappeared were somewhat different.
For example: Xiling and Jason were the only two people in the team who did not carry bicycles to participate in the mission.
But when the system countdown started, Xiling carried two bags of potassium nitrate fertilizer on his shoulders in one breath, totaling 200 kilograms.
After adding other equipment and ingredients, the heavy weight almost twisted the young man's waist.
It is worth mentioning that he had a pair of homemade earplugs stuffed in his pocket. This was something he deliberately prepared after being deafened by a heartless cannon last time.
It can be regarded as a small amount of growth after absorbing the lesson.
Jason, the fake foreigner who lives in California, had a big hiking bag on his chest and front, and then lifted another big bag with both hands.
These bulging bags contained supplies he had purchased through special channels in the past month.
Sensitive drugs like morphine were difficult to purchase in China, but in the evil capitalist society, Jason could easily buy a bunch of them.
Of course, these things are not cheap either.
In order to purchase these things, the small amount of activity funds given by Hu Biao had already been spent. Not to mention, he also put in a lot of it himself.
But as long as the environment allows it and it comes in handy, it's still worth it.
In addition, just like some routines that appeared on the modern plane network every time the system started a new mission in the previous two times, a new hot post appeared on many forums.
The specific content is: Was such a tragic battle like the Battle of Songhu worth fighting?
Because the Guo Army Headquarters at that time concentrated a large number of elite troops in the Songhu area, it not only caused the defense strength in North China to be weak, but also suffered huge casualties.
Almost the entire navy, which was originally weak, suffered losses in the battle, consuming valuable combat power for a period of time.
This laid a huge bitter fruit for the subsequent fall of Jinling, Suzhou and Hangzhou, and a large number of cities; and after the fall of the above areas, the Yangtze River Estuary opened wide, posing a great threat to Wuhan and Central China.
From this point of view, it seems that such a battle is not worth the gain.
In response to this point, a large number of bored netizens who were full and had nothing to do began to type and complain on computer keyboards and mobile phone screens.
Many of them were those who talked nonsense and had backaches, shouting:
The bald man is a waste. If he were to take charge of it, that would be wrong! As long as he joins, he will definitely not end up like this.
But this time, Yang Dongli and others were not so nervous because of their emotions.
In the process of waiting for the summons, I scrolled through my phone and waited silently, and then I discovered such an abnormal situation.
Through this channel, I learned about the system's next mission a few minutes in advance, and it actually happened on the Songhu battlefield.
But by this time, it was too late for them to make other arrangements.
The only thing that can be done is to consider that the Battle of Songhu took place in the magical capital from August to November, so there is no need to deliberately consider the issue of keeping warm.
So they took off their bulky clothes such as coats, sweaters, and woolen pants.
