Countdown to the ninth day.

When Ren Xiaosu knew that the war was only nine days left, he was no longer nervous.

Regardless of success or failure after nine days, no matter whether human civilization can continue in the future, there will be an answer after nine days.

All he needed to do was to survive these nine days with everyone.

Ren Xiaosu began to patrol various defense lines. He was shocked to find that the large number of civilians here were not refugees who escaped from the four barriers to the east, but residents of the 178 Fortress.

At this time, not only the four barriers in the east, but also the remaining nine barriers began to retreat to the rear of the 178 Fortress, because the Qing army was defeated.

Originally, if I had only faced the enemy in the northwest, this line of defense might have been enough to last for a while.

But coupled with the surging crowds coming from the Qing family, this line of defense is unlikely to stop the enemy's footsteps.

Therefore, all the residents of the barriers outside the 178 Fortress began to evacuate.

However, just as everyone was evacuating, the residents of Fortress 178 actually came to the front line to help the Northwest Army build a defense line.

For some reason, Ren Xiaosu could still see a sense of superiority in these 178 Fortress residents, as if it was a glory for their willingness to live and perish with the Northwest Army: they dared to do things that no one dared to do.

Of course, this is also due to the Northwest Army atmosphere. In the 178 Fortress, soldiers were the guardians of the fortress. Everyone knows what these people have done to protect themselves.

Ren Xiaosu saw the residents of the 178 Fortress sitting in the cafeteria for dinner after finishing their work. When chatting with other residents, they were still smiling, as if they were not afraid at all.

Something strange happened.

When the first wave of refugees arrived at the defense line, the residents of the 178 Fortress actually took the initiative to go up to assist the Northwest Army, organized these refugees to have a simple rest behind the defense line, and then continued to evacuate.

Then the residents of Fortress 178 will comfort the refugees: the northwest is a family. After going to Fortress 178, everyone will still be a family. Don’t be afraid. When the Northwest Army wins the battle, we will snatch the home together.

These residents of the 178 Fortress were like psychological counselors, and the refugees who were originally in a hurry were really calm after being evacuated.

But the refugees asked, can the Northwest really win? If it can win, why should we retreat?

Although everyone has some confidence in the Northwest Army, they will always feel a lot of uneasy on the way to escape.

As a result, the residents of the 178 Fortress said: "Look, the Northwest Army has fought with the wizards for so many years, isn't it okay? And now there are a big extraordinary person like Young Marshal and others. Will this lose? Tell me how to lose?"

These two rebellious questions were stunned by the refugees. After saying this, everyone felt that the Northwest Army could indeed win. Although they didn’t know how to win, it was over to win.

After the first group of refugees calmed down, the refugees who arrived later became more stable.

Before we knew it, the most difficult problem of refugees was solved first.

Moreover, that night, young refugees discussed something together, and then collectively went to the officer responsible for the construction of the defense line and said: We must also participate in the construction of the defense line.

The officer shook his head and answered very directly: Don’t cause trouble here, there are enough people.

The young people were unhappy at the time. They pointed at the residents of the 178 Fortress and said: Then why can they, we can't?

The officer wondered at the time, what a good thing is this? Why are he still rushing to do it?

This incident caused a lot of controversy, which even alarmed Zhang Jinglin.

In the end, Zhang Jinglin decided to set a threshold. As long as male young men aged between 18 and 28, they can sign up for defense line construction. However, one thing is that they must obey commands and cannot work on a whim. They will run away the next day and stick to the end if they want to do it.

Now, the young people stopped making trouble.

Although it is a bit absurd, it is a good thing after all.

The northwest defense line is not stable now, otherwise the Sixth Field Division would not need to delay time.

Therefore, the construction of this front does require a lot of manpower.

The combat meeting was held that night, and Ren Xiaosu sat on Zhang Jinglin's left hand and listened to the generals reporting on the progress of the defense line construction.

When Wang Fengyuan reported, he raised a question: "According to the enemy's marching speed we calculated, we should have arrived at the 219 post today, but there was no enemy situation there. I don't know why it slowed down their progress."

"What do you think?" Zhang Jinglin asked.

"I'm worried that this artificial intelligence is planning some strategy, so I plan to send the vanguard battalion in Zhou Yinglong to conduct long-distance reconnaissance. Although it is very dangerous, it is necessary to master intelligence," Wang Fengyuan replied.

However, at this moment, there was a combat staff report outside. Chief Zhang Husheng arrived at the defense line with the last group of refugees, and there was an important report.

Ren Xiaosu asked the combat staff: "Where is the Sixth Field Division? Haven't you arrived together?"

"Report to the young marshal, no," the combat staff replied.

Ren Xiaosu's heart suddenly became tight.

Seeing the big fool running into the command camp, Ren Xiaosu asked, "Who has come with you?"

"Miss Xiao Jin, Miss Zhou Yingxue and Wang Fugui," Dawei replied: "The Sixth Field Division was led by P5092 to harass the enemy. He said that this line of defense would take another two days to complete, so the Sixth Field Division would have to buy another two days for the rear. Moreover, he judged that an army on the artificial intelligence had penetrated the rear, and it was likely that it was a nano-troop that had appeared in Zuoyun Mountain. He wanted to solve this force."

Ren Xiaosu's fists clenched tightly.

All the people in the command camp who listened to the big fool report were gasping for breath. The Sixth Field Division had only more than 40,000 people. Even if the original fire unit had high combat qualities, even if there were command geniuses like P5092, and even if the Sixth Field Division had the most extraordinary people, it would be a very incredible thing to hold the enemy with the strength of one division to hold the enemy for a day.

The goal of P5092 is to hold on for two days.

No matter how the Sixth Field Division did it, everyone must admire it.

After the battle of Zuoyunshan and the battle of the Wizard Kingdom, the Sixth Field Division has become the most powerful army in the Northwest Army. When other combat sequences mention this force, they can only sigh.

Zhang Jinglin looked at Ren Xiaosu and sighed: "You have really helped the Northwest back with a lot of talents."

He said this because P5092 can accurately judge the situation behind just by looking at the defense report, and also accurately guessed what ambush Ren Xiaosu would encounter and the elites who penetrated the rear.

This kind of talent has never been found in the northwest.

To be honest, the Northwest Army has always relied on blood and energy in wars. Although Zhang Jinglin's command talent is outstanding, he is still a little short of calling him a famous general of a generation.

But P5092 is different from people like Qingzhen. They are born for war. However, Qingzhen is better at preparing for the overall situation. He can think of how much time it takes to the rear by reading the defense report, and Qingzhen cannot do it.

Therefore, just from the perspective of a certain war, if Qingzhen, P5092, Wang Shengzhi, and Zhang Jinglin are placed on the same battlefield and led the same troops, the final victory may be P5092.

Zhang Jinglin said to Ren Xiaosu: "You go and pick up P5092. If he can survive, it is more appropriate for him to take over the entire defense line."

Ren Xiaosu nodded: "I'll go now."

As a result, Wang Fengyuan said at this time: "No need to go. The 219 outing just sent a message back, and P5092 is taking part in a retreat to the defense line with some of the people of the Sixth Field Division, and is expected to arrive tomorrow."

Zhang Jinglin said: "All units have stepped up the construction of their own defensive positions. This defensive position must be able to hold the enemy for more than five days. We cannot let the efforts of the Sixth Field Division be wasted. In addition, after P5092 arrives at the defense line, the Northwest Defense will be temporarily taken over by P5092. I hope you all actively cooperate."

Generally speaking, it is very complicated to have an "outsider" take over defense, but this kind of thing only requires Zhang Jinglin's words in the Northwest Army.
