Countdown to the fifth day.

early morning.

Yesterday's battle was more cruel than I thought. The Northwest Army lost 12 positions in one day.

None of the combat troops on these positions evacuated, and they themselves did not want to evacuate. At the same time, P5092 did not allow them to evacuate.

P5092 said to Wang Yun, if each position cannot be defeated, retreat, where will the other Northwest Army and the people behind him retreat?

Standing on this line of defense is to win time. If you can't beat it, then you can use your life to drag it out.

Just like what P5092 said to Zhang Xiaoman twice: Otherwise, what do you think war is?

War is a battle aimed at eliminating the enemy's living forces.

Fortunately, Ji Ziang, near the 317 position, temporarily changed the road terrain and spread the mountain across the road of the enemy's mechanized troops in a way that almost overdraws his life. Otherwise, the situation would be even worse.

You should know that the southwest forest cannot be passed by mechanized troops.

Therefore, the mechanized troops in the entire Central Plains gathered here. The fire was not much weaponry and equipment left to the Wang family before the fire. They were all destroyed before retreating, and a grenade could directly explode the tank's gun barrel.

However, the Kong family and the Zhou family almost surrendered without fighting, and these two consortiums left too much for the Wang family.

Ji Zi'ang knew the importance of the matter, so he had to help P5092 block these mechanized troops.

At this time, Ji Zi'ang was exhausted and was lying in the field hospital behind the headquarters and was being taken care of by a nurse.

However, P5092 didn't even visit Ji Zi'ang in the field hospital because he didn't have time.

Time is particularly precious to the Northwest Army at this moment.

With only five days left, the Northwest Army is so hard to block the enemy. According to the bullshit, the enemy still has three similar troops rushing towards them.

In the command camp, Wang Yun took advantage of the fact that all the combat staff were sent out to convey the orders, and he looked at P5092 and asked: "How long do you think the Dawn Defense Line can last?"

P5092 thought for a while and said, "Three days, if you are lucky, it will be three days. On the third day, we will start evacuating to Fort 178, which is our last battlefield."

Wang Yun knew that P5092 was only telling the truth, so the Dawn defense line could only defend for three days at most, and it would only last for three days to be extremely lucky.

Facing a huge number of enemies, this does not seem to be an unacceptable answer.

It is said that the Sanshan defense line has been defending for three days, and now if the Dawn defense line is added to the previous few days, it has actually exceeded the Sanshan defense line's defense time.

However, there are still five days left in the countdown. Is it the turn of human civilization to be destroyed in the last two days?

P5092 looked at Wang Yun and said: "Artificial intelligence has begun to catch up with time. Today is the most critical day. It will definitely take out something that can crush us. As for whether we can stop it, no one knows. Moreover, in the face of artificial intelligence, our soldiers don't even have time to rest."

At this time, the soldiers on each position were in extreme fatigue, and this battle was different from before.

In the past, both sides of the enemy and us needed rest, so even if the time was not easy to allocate, there was always time to sleep. It was guaranteed to have at least four hours of rest every day during the war. If the war was not fierce, you could even sleep for six or eight hours.

But now it is different. The attacks of artificial intelligence seem to be endless. The defense change is arranged on the position to rest. But the problem is that the guns are so loud, how can you sleep?

Today, some soldiers suddenly fainted while walking. The Military Control Commission immediately dismantled thousands of military uniforms and made simple earplugs to distribute them to everyone.

In fact, under normal circumstances, soldiers cannot bring earplugs even if they sleep, because they will not hear the orders for emergency gatherings.

But now there is really nothing to do. Some soldiers will really collapse if they don’t sleep.

...

On the 287th high ground of Xigu Mountain, the Third Division led by Zhou Yinglong is stationed here.

Zhou Yinglong, who was talented and burly, patrolled the defense line with a sad face. At this time, the 287 high ground finally ushered in a rare rest time, and the enemy finally retreated like a tide.

It is said that the enemy's retreat is a good thing, but Zhou Yinglong knew that things were not simple. The enemy's troops and equipment were all sufficient, and there was no reason to retreat suddenly at this time, so something must have happened.

The adjutant followed Zhou Yinglong to patrol the position. He followed Zhou Yinglong and said, "Teacher, you'd better go and have a nap. I'll check the time. You'll have to have 30 hours of not closing your eyes."

Zhou Yinglong said calmly: "Why sleep for a long time before your lifetime? You must sleep for a long time after your death. There are many opportunities to sleep in the future."

The adjutant was stunned for a moment, but did not answer.

The 287th high ground was full of craters several meters deep. Some shells were shot up, and even the trenches could be destroyed.

When it was time to eat, Northwest Army soldiers sat in the trenches and carefully ate a few bites with their own aluminum lunch boxes.

Everyone felt so hungry that they were heart-wrenching, but they had no appetite.

They killed too many people and saw their comrades blown to bloody appearance by their side.

But there is no way. If they want to continue fighting, they have to eat.

In the past, delicious foods were chewed like eating wax. The soldiers could only chew them mechanically. This was the veteran. They could overcome their discomfort and keep themselves in a state suitable for fighting.

Zhou Yinglong looked at each soldier and his pupils were shrinking like needle tips, and they all looked like evil spirits.

Long-term tension causes everyone's nerves to be tense, and these emotions will directly affect the pupils.

So unlike works of art, in real war, everyone looks like a ghost.

No one is innocent, but no one is absolutely wrong.

However, at this moment, the adjutant beside Zhou Yinglong suddenly said, "Teacher, look outside the defense line!"

Outside the 287 Highland, Zhou Yinglong saw black clouds floating over the sky.

The dark clouds are extremely fast, as if they can get closer in a blink of an eye.

It was not a real dark cloud. Zhou Yinglong took out his high-power military telescope and saw the dense wings swaying, and countless birds converged together.

Wide geese, cuckoo, oriole, wild duck.

Zhou Yinglong suddenly realized that these birds have one common characteristic, that is, they are all migratory birds.

It is already autumn now, and these migratory birds are about to fly south to prepare for winter, but suddenly return to the northwest.

Little do we know that artificial intelligence has found the best way to control birds, and we only need to find a habitat that migratory birds must pass through to migrate.

Not far from the Wang family's barrier No. 61, there is a wetland suitable for birds to stop in the middle of the journey. There are eight or nine places in the entire Central Plains for such migratory habitats.

Migratory birds rest briefly in their habitats, where they eat and drink for a short time, and then are controlled by artificial intelligence and can no longer fly south.

Zhou Yinglong saw a huge eagle falcon on his side soaring towards the dark cloud, at an extremely fast speed like a lightning shot.

At first, the majestic falcon rushed into the dark clouds and broke up the forwards of the flock. However, the next moment, the birds in the flock hovered around the falcon, and took down their feathers one by one.

In just a blink of an eye, the hawk turned into a ball of energy and disappeared into the sky.

Hassan made great contributions to the northwest earlier, but it was useless in the face of absolute numbers.

Zhou Yinglong looked at the distant sky and sighed: "Wake up all the soldiers, fill them with ammunition, we are going to fight a tough battle."

Judging from the direction where the dark clouds flew, Highland 287 was probably the first position to be subjected to air strikes.

Yesterday when artificial intelligence attacked Ren Xiaosu, Zhou Yingxue, and Yang Xiaojin, Zhou Yinglong knew that the enemy was intending to divide Xigushan and take action first.

However, I didn't expect that the other party would attack more directly today.

This is the attack used by P5092 to crush the Dawn line of defense today.

Zhou Yinglong couldn't even tell how many birds there were. After the catastrophe, the mutated birds gathered together, and it looked like a terrifying natural disaster that stretched for several kilometers.

On the 287th high ground, all heavy machine guns adjusted their shooting angles. They were originally against the foot of the mountain, but now they were all covered with sandbags and raised towards the sky.

Not only heavy machine guns, but also on high grounds such as 287, there are also big killing weapons such as close-defense guns.

All the soldiers held their breath and waited for the birds to approach. Zhou Yinglong sighed: "My ability is completely useless..."

Zhou Yinglong's ability is to summon a wild boar, but no matter how powerful the wild boar is, it cannot match the birds in the sky.

When the birds finally arrived above the 287 high ground, Zhou Yinglong ordered the fire!

In the early morning, the bullets of the heavy machine gun shot into the sky like red balls that were burned red, and it was surprising that when the heavy machine gun made a roar, the flock of birds that had originally gathered together actually separated several gaps.

And these gaps are exactly where heavy machine gun bullets are about to hit the birds.

The gaps in which the birds separated were very accurate, without any extra.

However, the rate of fire of the bullet is much faster than that of the bird. Even if artificial intelligence has predicted the ballistics, it cannot avoid it.

However, Zhou Yinglong thought in his heart that it was not good, because the results of this round of attacks were significantly lower than his expectations.

If there is only such a hit rate, I am afraid that even after the ammunition in the entire 287 Highland is killed, these birds will not be able to be killed.

Then what the next 287 highlands will face is to be flooded by this black flock of birds.

Not only the 287th Highland, but also the second echelon defense line in the rear!

"Use near-defense cannons to fire a base number!" Zhou Yinglong ordered.

There was a roar on the high ground, as if it was about to shake out everyone's lungs.

The launch of near-defense guns is more prepared than that of a heavy machine gun. When the shells broke through the sound barrier in the barrel and ejected out, the dark clouds hovering in the sky suddenly opened up a hole more than three meters wide. The shells actually penetrated the birds directly from the hole.

Just as the near-defense guns were fired, Zhou Yinglong quietly ordered the soldiers to remove the cloud bombs behind the bunker, trying to sanction the birds with high temperature and hypoxia.

However, even though the soldiers' movements were very concealed, the birds still avoided the trajectory of the cloud bomb in advance.

If the warhead does not touch objects, it cannot trigger the fuses inside the missile body, and the technology level in the northwest is not enough to support them in making missiles that can be tracked remotely.

Immediately afterwards, the enemy ground troops that had retreated before also began to attack the 287 Highlands again.

Moreover, together with the large-caliber howitzers that the enemy had not used on the 287th Highlands, appeared, which shows that the mechanized troops passage near the 317 position has been opened, and the previously retreated enemy seems to have gone to the clearing road.
To be continued...
