Chapter 902 Fighting over the Building

Jianmenguan, Guanlou.

After losing almost 10,000 troops, the Revolutionary Alliance finally captured the Xinguan Tower that had been expanded by the organization.

Now, it is almost dusk. The Revolutionary Alliance soldiers who survived the previous battle are sitting on the ground in twos and threes in small groups, while the orderlies are pushing carts and distributing food... As for the wounded, they are slightly injured. The ones who were seriously injured were simply bandaged up by their companions, and the seriously injured ones were all carried together... They said they were waiting to be transported to the rear for treatment, but they were actually waiting to die. The military doctors were not even willing to give them morphine. It was painful. Screams continued to echo in this narrow valley.

A soldier with a lot of bloodstains on his uniform sat down with his back against a big stone and tore open the paper bag he just got. However, as soon as he saw the contents of the paper bag, his eyebrows immediately wrinkled——

"Again, synthetic military rations and mashed potatoes as hard as rocks? Is this what humans eat? Damn it, how long has it been since we saw meat? We work for the people above, and the people above let us eat this Something?" The soldier shouted with great dissatisfaction.

"Okay, okay, it's good to have this..." An older veteran from the same team patted him on the shoulder, "Just now, a team in the next camp couldn't even get mashed potatoes. , you can only mix the batter with cold water and eat it.”

The batter in the veteran's mouth naturally refers to the white powdery synthetic military ration, but the actual taste of this thing is much worse than that of pure flour... Well, especially when it is not heated and has no In the case of condiments, it is no exaggeration to say that it is difficult to swallow.

"Can they tolerate this?"

"Of course I couldn't bear it. The team immediately started fighting with the orderly. I heard that the orderly's nose was broken..."

"What happened next?" The young soldier was stunned. If he wanted to beat the orderly, he would have dared to try it after taking medicine. But now that the effect of the medicine has worn off, reason has taken over the main brain again. This kind of thing He still didn't dare to do anything that violated military discipline, so he only dared to curse.

"It can still be like this. The one who beat the person was directly prosecuted by military law, and was arrested and shot by the military police. The other people in the same team were assigned to the front-line assault troops, and they were basically dead." The veteran sighed. He suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Actually, this cannot be blamed on the servicemen. It is said that the logistics troops were attacked. The supplies that were supposed to arrive at noon have not been delivered at night. We don't have much food left now." .”

"What?! Logistics force..."

Before the young soldier finished speaking, the veteran covered his mouth: "Idiot, keep your voice down! This kind of thing cannot be spread randomly. It is a serious crime to disturb the morale of the army! You are not afraid of death, but I am!"

"Woo..." The young soldier nodded quickly, and the veteran released his mouth.

"Sergeant...what should we do?"

"What else can we do? This is on the surface. Even if you want to escape, there is nowhere to go... I estimate that the higher-ups will soon issue an order to launch a general attack."

"General attack..."

…

Although the supplies of the logistics force were not destroyed by Qi Lin, the headquarters was attacked, and there were big problems with the transportation and deployment of supplies. Especially during the battle, the various units were scattered widely. Without the unified coordination of the headquarters, it is difficult to ensure that the materials can be delivered to each unit on time.

…

"This thing is really unpalatable..." the young soldier said while chewing on the dry mashed potatoes. In order to save costs, no seasoning was added when making this simple food, only a few handfuls of mineral salt were sprinkled on it. ...But this kind of mashed potatoes are all made in a large pot with a diameter of two to three meters, and the salt particles cannot be stirred evenly at all. Therefore, when eaten in the soldiers' mouths, they either have no taste at all, or they are so salty that they cannot be eaten at all... As for the salty ones that are just right, there are probably only a few European emperors.

"Fortunately, I was prepared." The veteran smiled, took out a small bag from his arms, and took out a metal bottle the size of a thumb.

"What's this?"

"Salt and pepper." The veteran smiled and sprinkled the seasoning on his mashed potatoes. The scent of pepper instantly wafted into the other soldier's nose, making him swallow a mouthful of saliva.

"Brother, give me some too. When the war is over, I'll treat you to a barbecue when I go back."

"This is what you said, don't try to cheat." The veteran said and threw the two small bottles to the other party.

"Hehe... definitely not." The recruit had just removed the bottle when suddenly there was an explosion, and it was very close to where they were resting! It should be right after the pass in front!

"What the hell...what's going on?" The two soldiers were suddenly startled. They didn't even bother to eat. They quickly adjusted the helmets on their heads, grabbed the weapons on the side, and jumped up from the ground.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

A junior officer held up a bullhorn and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Gather! Everyone gather! Prepare to fight! Prepare to fight!"

"Fuck! Haven't we already cleared this area? Where did the enemy appear?" The veteran was a non-commissioned officer at least. He could barely talk to the junior officers and hurriedly ran to the guy who was shouting. Next to him, he asked loudly.

"Come out of the fortress and prepare the soldiers for battle! The enemy is coming out of the Jiange Fortress! Our forward troops are exchanging fire with them!"

Chaotic gunshots and explosions came one after another from the pass in front, echoing continuously in the valley. By this time, even the soldiers with the slowest reaction had already understood what was happening.

The organization wants to counterattack and seize back this strategically located building!

The Jianmen Pass Tower is located at the throat of Jiange Road. It has been a very important location since ancient times. Otherwise, ancient military strategists would not have chosen to build the Tower at this location.

"The machine gunners and bombardiers go up to the upper valley to seize the favorable terrain. The power armor brings the shields to block the pass! The others guard the gate tower!"

This low-ranking officer with the rank of lieutenant is the battalion commander of their battalion, and is also the current temporary commander of the Guanlou area.

As for why a lieutenant can become the commander of thousands of soldiers here, it is because all the officers above have been killed in the battle of Guanlou, and he, the lieutenant, is already the highest-ranking among these thousands of people. An officer...

Two soldiers who had been sharing pepper hurriedly rushed into the gate building... For low-level soldiers like them, whether they can occupy a safe position when the war starts may very well determine their future. What is the chance of survival in a battle, especially in a city defense battle with complex fortifications?
