Chapter 245: Division of Forces (Update 1)

Soon, Su Bai and others successfully entered the defense line of the Longya troops under the heavy bombardment. Shen Chen opened the car door and jumped directly.

Major Li Du, who was defending this line of defense, saluted excitedly after seeing Shen Chen.

"Commander, you are finally back."

Shen Chen nodded and asked hurriedly: "What's the situation?"

"We are fine here, but the southwest side is terrible. It is said that two groups of brothers who defend have died, and the defense line is also shrinking." Li Du reported with red eyes.

"Damn it!" Shen Chen couldn't help but swear!

At this time, a messenger ran over and saluted Shen Chen.

"Commander Shen, Commander Zhang Hong asked me to wait for you here and convey his order. Let you take the supporting troops to the central area to stand by, and at the same time bring the commander of Kaiming City to see him."

"I know." Shen Chen replied.

In the chariot, Su Bai opened the window and looked at the entire Longya garrison area. It was indeed tragic. Not to mention that the entire surface was bombed with pits everywhere, at least it was baptized several times.

But even so, the Longya soldiers here all stick to their respective posts.

From the perspective of combat quality, it is impeccable!

At this time, Shen Chen climbed up again, and he said to Kong Shi: "Commander Zhang Hong wants to see you, and also order your troops to advance to the interior of the garrison to rest."

"Not directly participating in the war?" Kong Shi asked.

"Everything will be done after seeing Commander Zhang Hong, he will issue new orders." Shen Chen replied.

"Okay!" Kong Shi nodded in response.

A moment later, under the leadership of Shen Chen, Su Bai and his team entered the underground passage. The passage was very deep and the walls were all reinforced.

Yun Tao whispered to Su Bai.

"This underground passage is a certain age, it should have been built a long time ago."

"This used to be a war defense point, otherwise we would not choose to camp here." Shen Chen heard Yun Tao's words and explained.

"That's right, otherwise I think the losses would be even more severe after the sneak attack." Su Bai said.

"Yes, General Zhang Lengyue has indeed considered it very carefully." Shen Chen agreed.

At this time, Kong Shi said: "I have something very confusing. Under normal circumstances, the Hetu Base should be attacked first, and then Kaiming City will be attacked. But how did the other party bypass the Hetu Base quietly? Lord Zhang Lengyue should not have noticed anything unusual!"

"The Hetu Base has been under attack all the time and has never stopped. Since it has been fighting all the time, it is not strange for the other side's troops to take the opportunity to cross the Hetu Base." Shen Chen explained.

"That's right."

Not long after, Su Bai and the others followed Shen Chen to the deepest part. This underground defense layer was at least dozens of meters deep.

"The temporary command post is in front." Shen Chen subconsciously quickened his pace.

"Yes." Kong Shi and others nodded.

In the temporary command room, there were hurried reports everywhere.

Every dedicated line kept ringing, and various real-time battle situations were constantly reported back.

"The southwest area was attacked, and the defense line moved back 2 base points,"

"The battlefield in the middle of the west was severely damaged, and one-third of the defense line fell. Major Zhou Shuo is holding the remaining defense line and can no longer hold on. Urgently request support!"

"In the northwest battlefield, Han Qi led the reinforcements and suffered heavy losses. The situation is very dangerous."

Zhang Hong listened to the terrible news and punched the table.

"Damn it!"

The skin on his hands was broken and blood was flowing.

"Sir." The officers present asked worriedly.

"It's okay, Gao Yao! How is the preparation of the supplies?"

A very short middle-aged officer wiped his forehead and reported hurriedly: "We are already doing our best to seal the boxes and prepare for transfer, but it will take at least seven hours to seal them all! And even if we seal them well, it doesn't mean that we can escape safely. We have to hold on for at least three more hours to let the transfer vehicle leave. We are really short of manpower."

"In other words, it will take another ten hours?"

"Yes!"

After listening to this, Zhang Hong felt a little dizzy. He still had to hold on for another ten hours! ! !

He didn't know what he could do to hold on for ten hours.

Just then a familiar voice sounded.

"Sir! I have fulfilled my mission and brought the people back."

Shen Chen walked in and saluted to report.

Zhang Hong's eyes were somewhat desperate and hopeful. Seeing Shen Chen walking in, he went up to hug him and patted his shoulders.

"Well done."

Then Zhang Hong looked at Kong Shi who followed him and said as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"Lord Kong Shi is very grateful for your support, but you can see now that the situation is not optimistic. All defense lines are extremely urgent. I don't have time to be polite with you."

"I understand. We are willing to obey your orders unconditionally." Kong Shi replied neatly. When he came in, he heard their conversation.

"Very good, how many people have you come to support." Zhang Hong asked anxiously.

"The Kaiyuan Corps I led is basically all elite, with a total of more than 100,000 people, but only 80,000 survived the breakout here, and four layers of heavy weapons were damaged, nearly half of them." Kong Shi reported.

"That's enough! The reason why we don't want to evacuate this garrison area is that a large amount of weapons and supplies are stored here. These things are not only important to me, but also to Longcheng and Hetu Base. They must not be lost. We need time to transfer, but because we were ambushed and suffered heavy casualties, we can't hold on now. Now divide your troops into two. Kong Shi, you lead half of them to the southwest side for support, and Shen Chen, you lead the other half to the main battlefield of the west for support!" Zhang Hong explained the matter simply and neatly.

"Understood!" Kong Shi and Shen Chen saluted at the same time.

Then the two strode out.

At this time, an adjutant next to him asked anxiously.

"Sir, what about the northwest side? Commander Han Qi can't hold on any longer."

"I will personally lead people to the northwest side, gather all the guards and follow me." Zhang Hong said fiercely.

"No! Sir!"

"You can't go to the battlefield! It's too dangerous!"

"Yes! If you go to the battlefield, who will command!"

"What's the point of commanding? Everyone is on the battlefield. Who can I command? Get ready to fight! Notify everyone to hold on for ten hours. After ten hours, everyone will retreat together!" Zhang Hong shouted with a red face.

At this time, a round of applause rang out.

"Amazing! I didn't expect Colonel Zhang Hong to be so brave that he was ready to lead the battle! It's really amazing!"

Zhang Hong's eyes fell on Su Bai, and his brows were twisted together.

"Why are you here?"

"Why am I here? Is it important? I wonder if you can give me a mecha so that I can help you." Su Bai replied with a smile.
