The earth had once again begun a night of darkness, and the lower plains had already darkened, and only the higher Rockies were still bathed in redder twilight.
Probably also based on the unique geography of the planet, most of the base points of the Federation's reconstructed charter network are also set in the mountains.
Between the rocks on the hillside in the last magnificent twilight, the seven groups of team members who escaped death silently relaxed their tired limbs, enjoying the air without the smell of gunpowder and the environment without bullets flying, but even after being tired and nervous, the team members still did not relax their vigilance, stretched their bodies against the sky, but used the rocks beside them to isolate the reconnaissance eyes of the Imperials that might exist on the opposite mountain peak or below.
Almost every member of the seven groups of members has serious or minor injuries, especially Liu Jiao, who has basically lost their ability to move, if it were not for the strong quality and strong style of the seven group members, it is hard to imagine that they can carry these seriously injured comrades on their backs to the top of the peak.
Medical Officer Hou Xiandong had been busy until this time, and only then did he have time to lower his head and take a sip of water from the water bag in his left elbow, listening to the sound not far away, he couldn't help but look up, and a trace of doubt and anger flashed in his eyes.
The doubts and anger were not directed at Xu Le, but at those commanders and the Charter Bureau who were far away from the battleship and controlled the battlefield, if it wasn't for the Charter Bureau making such a stupid mistake, how could the seven groups, who had already worked all night, continue to take risks exhausted Xu Le sat next to a gray-white solid rock mass, stared at the satellite phone in his hand, and glanced at the data cable between his watch and the phone to confirm that there was no problem.
"I don't care how many people you have died, you must be in the designated place within forty-seven minutes."
A woman's voice came from the satellite phone before, and she said something very bastard, which made Xu Le's straight and rich ink brows furrow, and then stretched out in a very indifferent way, and he asked in a low and hoarse voice: "Who are you?"
"I'm the deputy director of the Third Division of the Charter Bureau."
On the phone, the cold and strong voice of the female official of the Charter Bureau rang out again, "Time is tight now, you must leave immediately." ” Xu Le took a deep breath, a trace of forcibly suppressed anger could be seen on his cheeks covered by black ash, and his bright eyes burned like fire in the field in the twilight.
As a soldier, a Shell Engineer, and a human closest to the Federation's central computer, he knows better than anyone how much it means for the Federation to restart the Charter network on this fallen star.
In fact, in the early hours of the morning, he did not hesitate to accept the order issued by the curly-haired Charter Bureau official, which was also based on this understanding.
Xu Le really wanted to complete this important task of the Federation, but the losses of the Seventh Group today were too heavy, the bodies of Xiao Thirteenth Floor and his comrades-in-arms were still soaked in the river, and several members of the team on the mountain road who fled were not breathing He is only twenty-two years old this year, he used to be a virtuous, capable, and responsible young man, and later he was pondered by the cruel reality of the Federation into a slightly silent, still cheerful, difficult to believe in the law with all his heart, and more in his inner judgment, with a few stinky stone styles, not afraid of killing and being killed.
But he is not a qualified commander after all, and if he wears sunglasses, he can't learn the true ruthlessness of people like Du Shaoqing, let alone treat the passage of life on the battlefield as a temporary departure of an abandoned son on the chessboard.
Looking at the team members who were tired and lying among the rocks, looking at the wounded soldiers who were bandaged and covered with the smell of medical glue, and looking at the silent and restless expressions on their faces, Xu Le was reluctant, so he was silent.
The silence between the white limestone peaks made the officials who were anxiously waiting in the battleship feel a trace of unease and anger, and the sharp questioning and urging voice of the female official sounded again on the satellite phone.
Xu Le's fingers tightly grasped the high-strength plastic shell of the phone, his brows did not furrow again, but the emotions in his eyes became a little indifferent.
As the supreme commander of Group 7, he had not yet made an accurate judgment on the current situation, but the rude questioning and urging from space made his emotions a little difficult to calm down.
At this critical moment, the encrypted communication between space and the ground was directly covered by a request for contact from a farther away and with higher authority, and a deep and low, calm and majestic voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Lieutenant Colonel Xu Le, I am the Supreme Commander of the Federation Xilin Theater" According to the plan of the federal military, tonight's general offensive will be launched in the evening, which is the time zone in which the ground diamond-shaped base group is located.
At this time, on the top of the seven groups of lonely rock peaks, they admired the fall tastelessly, and in fact, there was still some distance before the general attack of the Federation army was launched.
It was at this time that Xu Le spoke to the famous Xilin Tiger for the first time.
From the autumn of the sixty-fifth year of the Xian calendar, the ancient bell from Xilin bombarded Qingqiu, a suburb of Hexi Prefecture, and blasted the black 52 and the uncle in the mecha into smoke, and then met the cute little girl on the spaceship that escaped from Donglin, there were many more incognito connections between him and Commander Zhong of the Fourth Military Region of the Federation, but he had never seen this overlord of the dominant side, and even the phone call had never passed.
The members of the seventh group looked at Xu Le not far away tiredly, watching him talk on the phone silently, not knowing what they would face when they took over the team that had already suffered heavy casualties.
"Understood."
"Understood."
Xu Le took the satellite phone and replied mechanically, the wound on his left arm was still bleeding at this time, because he was worried that the medical glue would affect the later battle, he refused Hou Xiandong's intensive treatment, and only bandaged it indiscriminately with a white cloth belt.
The night in the farther mountains was almost all over, and the fire in his eyes had been extinguished, and he said in a deep voice to the big man on the other side of the satellite: "If you believe me, I can try it myself, but my people are still trapped in the mountains, and the Empire has sent too many stragglers in the mountains, so you must immediately send a helicopter to pick up my people and leave." ” On the other end of the line was the Supreme Commander of the Confederation's victorious military operation.
He was just a small lieutenant colonel with hundreds of men and hundreds of guns under his command, and there was a huge disparity in rank and power, but at this moment, he bravely bargained with the other party.
I don't know what was said on the other end of the phone, after Xu Le hung up the phone, he directly put the heavy satellite phone into the marching backpack behind him, and then took off his watch and exchanged it with Magnolia's watch.
"You wait here with these guys, and the above promised me that they will send planes to support you within half an hour."
Xu Le cleaned up the tools he needed to carry, bowed his head and whispered to Magnolia: "The general attack will start soon, as long as one of our teams is still trapped in the war zone, it is already good that they are willing to send planes over." ” Magnolia looked at him silently, easily sensing what this little boss was going to do from his movements, and said with a smile: "Why don't you just send a plane to repair that cardinal point" "The Imperials are going crazy today, sending planes to the target is too big, in case the enemy touches that important cardinal point, the Federation can't afford to take this risk."
Xu Le quickly counted the number of tools with his fingers and explained casually.
"You're going crazy, and the command agrees that you're going crazy," Magnolia asked.
"It's just a few simple fixes, and as long as the Charter Bureau can get the data to the ground in a timely manner, it shouldn't be a big problem."
Xu Le raised his head and said, "Today's task is not to lay the net, and there is not much difference between me and everyone going alone. ” "The problem is that you might run into Imperials on the way."
"That's why I'm going to go alone, you know how I can escape."
Xu Le smiled, his face full of smoke, and his teeth looked extremely white.
"Individual heroism kills."
Magnolia took out the deflated blue box of Panax notoginseng cigarettes in her jacket pocket, and subconsciously took out two, but suddenly thought of the battlefield record, and her fingers full of black mud froze in front of her.
Xu Le passed a cigarette from his finger, put it between his dry lips, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said seriously: "Promise me to bring these guys back alive." ” Magnolia tore open the cigarette paper, sent a pinch of tobacco into her mouth, moistened it with saliva, carefully tasted the spicy taste, and finally nodded after a moment of silence.
"Big Bear."
Xu Le shouted at Xiong Linquan and threw the 2126 long sniper beside him.
Xiong Linquan was stunned for a moment, and was silent as he carried out the firearm inspection and ammunition allocation, and at this time, the team members on the rock peak vaguely guessed what Xu Le was going to do, and the expression on his face suddenly became stiff.
The members of the seven groups, whether they are recruits or veterans, are very clear about what kind of guy their commander is in these war careers, so no one stepped forward to persuade him angrily, crying and retaining, just looking at him quietly.

Gu Xifeng came over, checked the satellite phone and military watch for Xu Le, confirmed that there should be no problem with the data transmission later, and said softly: "If you want to repair something, at least take me with you" "I'm also a very engineer."
Xu Le patted him on the shoulder.
He suddenly turned his head and squinted at Bai Yulan and said, "If there is a problem, after you return to the Capital Star Circle, help me do a few things." ” "What's the matter?"
Magnolia listened intently.
"Tell Zou Yu that Shi Qinghai is good.
Tell Jian Shui'er, I'm sorry, I can't help with Uncle Cha's affairs. ” "Tai Zhiyuan doesn't need to say anything over there, let Li Xiaotong tell Li Wei and ask him to pay attention to safety over there."
"Remember to go to Parliament Hill and tell Zhang Xiaomeng what kind of man she will find in the future, without my consent."
A very relaxed smile flashed between Xu Le's eyebrows, and he suddenly thought of something, and continued seriously: "Tell Nan Xiangmei that I like her too." ” "A suicide note is unlucky."
Magnolia chewed the tobacco in her mouth and said with emotion: "I really didn't expect that the stone could become so sensational. ” "Bullshit, sir, I've read a lot of books, and I'm full of literature, but I just don't bother to let you big-headed soldiers know."
Xu Le picked up the marching backpack, picked up the 2126 long sniper handed over by Xiong Linquan, buttoned the magazine outside the body armor, waved his hand briefly to the team members, and ran along the slender ridge towards the distance.
