Xu Le woke up from the nightmare, suddenly felt sad, and sat on the edge of the bed in silence in a daze.
I don't know if it was after I got drunk with Shi Qinghai at night more than ten days ago, the digestive juices of some glands in my body were as warm and hurtful as the friendship between men, and it burned my stomach and the mouth of the academic term on my stomach.
Or because Shang Qiu had completed the XT test mission three days ago, and was on the way back to the Star Circle in the distant capital at this time, but he still remembered that in the early morning, she stood in the thick snow like a playful wild cat in her small snow boots, and would kick her legs back with every step, a very cute picture, so that she was faintly depressed by this emotion.
At this moment, a request to contact the central computer of the Federation appeared in his mind, and since that night, the old thing began to be left out in the cold, but if he wanted to chat with him, he always had to knock on the door that did not exist in the void in advance.
After answering the request, Xu Le looked at the concise and clear words in the pupil of his left eye, the virtual three-dimensional picture, and cold sweat instantly broke out of his back, dyeing the cyan military vest as heavy as ink, and only then did he understand that the terrifying scenes in the original dream were real, and it was the old thing calling him through the back door.
Before he had time to ask why the charter computer had entered his dream without his consent, Xu Le hurriedly got up with a gloomy expression, put on a coat of care, and rushed out of the room.
He ran to Shi Qinghai's door against the bitter cold, kicked the door open, said a few words quickly, and then rushed to the location of the regiment headquarters, and pressed the emergency assembly button in the regiment headquarters without hesitation.
In an instant, the sharp and piercing sirens pierced through the dark night and a few faint snowflakes, spreading throughout the entire barracks, whether it was the officers and soldiers of the first regiment of the new 17th Division or the soldiers of the Qinglongshan troops, they woke up one after another, although they were extremely puzzled, no one dared to ask what was happening, silently and quickly put on their military uniforms and equipment, and ran towards the snowfield area in front of the regiment headquarters.
Here put on his military hat, inserted the H12 pistol into the pouch accurately, looked at Xu Le and said, "Instructor, if this is just a drill, I think it will be difficult for us to explain to these guys who have been woken up." ” In these days, the federal ground forces have been trying to destroy the last remnants of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, but the Emperor with the desperate and crazy mood of death, with the help of the glacier roadway base that has been operating for decades, under the ruthless and even self-harming command of the old general Ambri, he did not give an inch, exhausted all means of combat and even used primitive and cruel human bomb tactics The bloody anomaly of the final war was fought, and in the 700-square-kilometer glacier war zone, people died every moment, The federal forces, which had an absolute strategic advantage, were a little frightened under the crazy resistance of the Imperials, and just ten days ago, even Du Shaoqing was forced to let the Iron Seventh Division slow down the pace of clearing the lanes.
However, this has nothing to do with the 1st Regiment of the 17th Division and the Qinglongshan unit that did not have an official number, they have not 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 encirclement in front of them and kill their camp, so the sound of emergency assembly tonight made many people wonder what was going on.
"Level 2 clearance is top secret, I'm sorry, I can't reveal anything to you, I believe that the official order will come down soon, and the emergency assembly is to let everyone prepare in advance."
Xu Le's ears heard the sound of hurried and dense footsteps in all directions and the heavy mechanical sound of engineering mechas, and after a little silence, he said seriously to Helei.
The order to assemble urgently could only be given by the highest commander of the unit, and his previous actions, although not overstepping, were also a serious violation of the discipline of the troops.
But Herre knew what kind of person he was, especially when he saw the rare solemnity on his face, and his brain had begun to spin rapidly, alert to what was about to happen.
In those days, Xu Leshe was prosperous and wealthy, and he would not blink an eyelid when facing the entire upper class of the federal society alone, but the news that the Charter Computer gave him tonight made him nervous, because this time they were facing the greatest and most ruthless nature, which never changed its way of acting because of the wrath of man.
At the same time that the 1st Regiment of the 17th Division and the troops of Qinglongshan in the Snow Valley sounded the emergency assembly order, at the end of a road cut off halfway in the outskirts of the S1 Planetary Special Zone in the distant capital Star Circle, a sharp siren sounded inside a building that was regarded as a holy place by the people of the Federation.
Cui Judong of the Charter Bureau had just finished brewing the first cup of flower tea after going to work, but he was not in the mood to taste the fragrance of Huang Yaju at this time, he withdrew his finger to activate the alarm, looked at the calculation results on the huge light curtain, and couldn't help but shake his head, thinking that it would be a blessing to have the opportunity to see the most spectacular scene in the universe in this life, but I don't know if the Federation soldiers on that planet have time to evacuate, and at this moment, I can only hope that the calculation results of the old things will not deviate too much.
The alarm of the charter computer was immediately transmitted to the president's residence, and the dark face of His Excellency Pabul, who was having breakfast with the first lady, flashed a trace of doubt, and immediately asked Director Brin, who was beside him: "Can our fighters withdraw?"
"Based on past observations, it takes a long time for the lings on 5460 to activate.
Just now, the Ministry of Defense has made a decision to transfer all the Federation fleets and the battle fleets of the 3320 and 163 systems over the Gary Corridor, plus the backup transportation force of the Xilin Administrative Main Star, there should be no problem with the withdrawal of troops. ” The young Director Brin replied smoothly and clearly and accurately, and after a slight pause, he continued: "What needs to be considered now is the time it takes for the ground forces to withdraw to the airborne base, and whether the last remnants of the Imperial Expeditionary Force will stop at all costs and delay the retreat of the troops.
After all, this is the first time that the planet has advanced the phenomenon of the 5460 Wandering Phenomenon since the Federation observed the phenomenon of 5460 Wandering Nine Times, and this time it has advanced by more than 300 years. ” "A colloquium will be held later on this subject by the Federal Academy of Sciences" "That's not what I care about."
President Pabur smiled at his nervous wife, turned his head and said grimly: "I only care about the consequences, none of our fighters can die in those damn icy waters."
Tell the Ministry of Defense that if the Imperials really try to delay the retreat of the troops, let the fleet use direct fire from the main guns to drive all these Imperial rabbits back into the ice cave. ” Director Brin was slightly stunned, and subconsciously objected: "But there is still plenty of time, even if the Imperial people understand what is happening, they don't have a good way to stop us from retreating."
The effect of direct fire from the battleship's main guns is not too good, and the energy consumption is too serious, and the Federation's interstellar energy quota this year has actually exceeded by 70%. ” "Being able to get those lads back honorably and safely is much more important than energy quotas."
President Pabul said in a deep but firm voice: "Please make an appointment with Mrs.
Tai for me, regarding the matter of energy quota, the political axe needs her help." ” in the building of the Ministry of Defense.
Zou Yingxing, who was wearing glasses, carefully reviewed the report sent by the Charter Bureau, listened to the presidential instructions conveyed by Secretary Jiao, a smile flashed on his slightly tired cheeks, and said: "According to Mr.
President's opinion, immediately draw up a retreat plan, and ask Commander Zhong to decide, I believe that he must also like this best gift from nature to the Federation." ” In the main Sirin Federation Command building.
Zhong Shouhu kept rubbing his gray eyebrows with two fingers, looking at all the documents that had just arrived at his hand, he was silent for a long time, and finally a smile with complicated emotions appeared.
He was about to rush to the front line again and directly command the last wave of attacks of the federal forces, he was proud and confident enough that the victorious military operation would be successful, but unlike the situation on 3320 and 163, the Imperial troops on planet 5460 were the least, but the enemy general named Ambury fought the battle to this extent, even if he went to sit in person, he did not dare to say that he could kill a few fewer Federation soldiers under the momentum of victory.
"It was a big surprise."
In the early hours of the morning, the 1st Regiment of the 17th Division received an urgent order from the headquarters, which was electronically signed by Deputy Commander Yi, requiring all troops on the ground to immediately withdraw from the Arctic glacier area, and the various units cooperated with each other, on the one hand, to maintain a sense of oppression on the Imperials, and on the other hand, they must retreat to the predetermined place as quickly as possible.
The words of the order were very cold and fierce, and no objection was allowed from any of the participating troops, so in just three hours, the Federation troops, who were trying to search for traces of the Imperials in the ice pit lanes at night or day, and desperately risked their lives, began to quickly and unhurriedly leave the battle area, turned into countless black lines, and returned south on the snowy field.
The 1st Regiment of the 17th Division, where Xu Le was located, and the lucky Qinglongshan troops, were the first to prepare for retreat because of a certain back door, and even before the command command order arrived, he had already forced Helei to give an order to let the mixed troops forcibly move 30 kilometers south.
"What the hell is going on?"
Heley sat in the command car with a complicated expression, looking at the detailed rules of the order on the light curtain, puzzled, if the Federation is preparing to arrange a new war plan, even if a senior officer like him does not know the strategic intent, he will definitely be blown the wind, guess some details of the problem, it will definitely not be like tonight, the retreat is inexplicable, confused.
There are many federal officers and soldiers who have such doubts as him, and it is really unacceptable for the officers and soldiers of the various participating units to see that the remnants of the Imperial Army have been suppressed and dying and may collapse at any time at the cost of countless sacrifices and blood, but they are ordered by their superiors to march south in a hurry, far from the dawn of victory.
In order to prevent panic from spreading among the troops, the upper echelons of the Federation strictly controlled this news to a very small range, and only no more than five generals in the ground forces knew the inside story, and Xu Le, who was the first to know about this matter in the Federation, understood and agreed with the command's approach, but in the face of the puzzled eyes of the people around him, he felt a little pressure.
