147 The problem
With the arrival of the old man, the entire Xianghe city was like a clockwork machine, and began to revolve around the battle to recover xinchuan.
The soldiers of the 87th Division who had returned from battle began to reorganize themselves into the new army of the 87th Division. The number of soldiers in the new army quickly exceeded 10000.
The Yizhou fiend guard was also re-established.
The newly formed First Army and the demon guards began to mix.
The so-called mixed composition was also the most effective combat method that Xia ping ‘an and the others had come up with in their previous practice. It was the most effective way for Summoners to cooperate with troops to eliminate demons.
Generally speaking, a combat squad of two to three Summoners and a company of about 100 people was the most effective combat establishment to deal with monsters in urban and wild.
In such a 100-man Combat Team, there was a platoon of soldiers equipped with bazookas, a platoon of soldiers equipped with grenade launchers and machine guns, a platoon of soldiers in charge of battlefield support, and a sniper team equipped with rune bullets. The ability of the summoner and the soldiers could completely suppress the monsters in the city.
Such a 100-man Combat Team was flexible in advancing and retreating. They could be divided and harmonious. When they encountered a small group of monsters, they could annihilate them alone. When they encountered a large group of monsters, they could work together and cooperate with each other. It was the most efficient and convenient.
Three days after the old man arrived in Xianghe city, 118 100-man combat squads were formed. Then, the old man left Xianghe city with the 118 combat squads and arrived at Tiema town. He officially started the battle to restore xinchuan.
Xianghe city and Mount yunwan base had already been connected. The roads between these two places had been restored, and they became the rear of Matie town.
The people who were hiding in all directions were gathering towards the base in Xianghe city and Mount yunwan.
The old man was the commander of the battle, so Xia ping ‘an was kept by the old man’s side.
On the old man’s side, Xia ping ‘an was still the priest of Corps 87. To a certain degree, Xia ping’ an had become the old man’s assistant. As Xia ping ‘an had the ability of long-distance vision and the old man liked to command the battle in the frontline, Xia ping’ an became the old man’s battlefield telescope, who could provide the relevant battlefield information and movements to the old man at any time.
In addition to being a clairvoyant by the old master’s side, Xia Pingan’s other responsibility was to be responsible for the production of pills and runic ammunition.
The fresh corpses of the demons obtained from the battlefield were basically sent to Xia ping ‘an in exchange for the initial divinity pill, divine power pill, and rune bullets.
The sacrificed soldiers were also sent to Xia Pingan, and Xia Pingan held a Requiem ceremony.
The Battlefront outside of Matin town continued to push toward xinchuan city, advancing a few miles a day, sometimes even a dozen miles.
Because there were a steady stream of Summoners and Warriors from the 87th Legion coming in from all directions, and there were also people who kept asking to join the army, the number of 100-man combat teams that the old man could command not only did not decrease, but it gradually increased. Every day, there would be new combat teams joining the battlefield.
It didn’t take long for the 118 100-man combat squads to become 131.
Xia ping ‘an witnessed with her own eyes how the situation on the battlefield in xinchuan was slowly turning around.
The situation was completely different. The number of demons on the battlefield decreased as they were killed. The more they fought, the fewer demons there were. However, the number of demon guards and soldiers of the 87th Legion increased.
A week after the old man arrived in Matin town, a total of 137 100-man combat squads, over 2000 vehicles of various types, over 3000 returning soldiers, and over 20000 militia had pushed the battle line to the outskirts of xinchuan city and completed the encirclement of the city.
The following battle became a replica of the battle in Xianghe city. Those low-intelligence monsters didn’t create any miracles.
More than 140 100-man combat squads attacked xinchuan from seven directions. They advanced slowly, clearing the monsters one town after another, one street after another, and one building after another. They kept pushing the line of defense forward. The monsters that were entrenched in the city were completely like beasts in a cage under the siege of such an iron-barrel formation.
Under the situation where The Phantom monster, Mo Ling, was killed by rune bullets and Summoners the moment it showed its face, the fire spiders, liquid spiders, and demon rats organized a few attempts to break out of the encirclement. Under the attacks of individual cloud bombs, rockets, and various modern weapons, they all ended in failure.
This time, the streets, underground shelters, and garages in xinchuan city were filled with the corpses of the monsters.
On February 26,2020,19 days after the old man returned to Yizhou, xinchuan, the capital of Yizhou, was recovered.
......
Xinchuan city was in an uproar, and the entire city was filled with the sound of gunfire.
After the announcement of the recovery of xinchuan city, the excited soldiers and militia inside and outside the city took out their guns and fired at the sky.
At this time, it was evening. Xia Pingan accompanied the old man back to the base of the Yizhou provincial order Committee in xinchuan.
After an entire winter, the base of the Yizhou provincial order Committee had changed again. The collapsed building was still collapsed, and the big pit left by the meteorite was still intact.
However, in the ruins, among the broken bricks, walls and collapsed steel frames, weeds with vigorous life force were growing out of the ground tenaciously and vigorously through the cracks of stones and steel.
Holding the Dragon-head walking stick, the old man looked like an old man who had returned to his hometown. Watching the ruins, he sighed with emotion, ” I’ve not found that the grass here could grow so exuberantly.
“Grandpa, have you found that these weeds are like humans? humans are actually as vigorous as weeds!” Xia Pingan stood behind the old man and said softly.
that’s right. The land that has been covered in the blood and Snow of the monsters will definitely grow stronger and stronger grass in spring. the old man turned his head and said to Xia Pingan with a very serious look, ” it’s been hard on you these days!
“I only did what I should have done!”
among all Summoners, you are the one who has contributed the most to the recovery of Xiang He and Xin Chuan. Do you know why I have not promoted you? ” The old man suddenly asked.
Xia Pingan smiled bitterly. it’s because you wanted to assign me more important tasks. Now that xinchuan has been recovered, the monsters in other places in Yizhou province can’t hold on for long. You can tell me now, old man. I won’t be staying in Yizhou for long, right? ”
The old master looked at Xia Pingan deeply. you’ve already guessed it? ”
“I’ve guessed a little, but I still don’t know what it is!”
The old man let out a long sigh. come and walk with me, Yingluo. after saying that, the old man turned around and walked towards the road outside. Xia Pingan also followed by his side.
Do you know how many people have died in the country of fire since October 28th last year? ” The old man, who was walking on the road, suddenly asked Xia Pingan a question in a low voice.
Xia Pingan shook his head.
the initial estimate of the number of victims in the country of Dayan is more than 110 million, ” the old man said with a heavy voice. There was a trace of hoarseness and trembling in his voice. the total number of victims in various countries on earth is more than 900 million. The humans on our planet and this world are like chickens and ducks in a cage, they can be slaughtered at will. If we add up the number of human deaths since the space invasion, this number will exceed 33 billion. As long as the space invasion isn’t stopped, our descendants will never be able to escape this tragic fate.”
These two numbers made Xia Pingan’s heart sink.
In the disasters that had happened in the past few months, these two numbers had been too depressing.
“How do we end the spatial invasion?” Xia Pingan asked.
As the old man walked, he asked Xia Pingan a question in return, ” do you believe that there are gods and demons in this world? do you believe that there is a power that is beyond the limits of the secular world and human imagination, and a will that is above everything? ”
“I believe you!” Xia Pingan said directly. Seeing the old man’s gaze on him, Xia Pingan added, ” in fact, I have always been a theist. In front of the creation of the universe, we are too small, and we are not alone!
The old man continued to ask, ” have you ever thought that the so-called space invasion is not natural, but is led by a force that is beyond our understanding? ”
