Kyoto, one of the three capitals and twelve prefectures, is located in the central and southern part of the federal territory, tightly straddling the north and south, and is the most important transportation hub connecting the four borders of the federation.
In terms of land transportation, Kyoto is at the intersection of eight important federal transportation lines. It is a population distribution center and a trade center, and its geographical location is extremely important.
Since the fall of Xijing City, one-third of the federal capital and twelve prefectures have been lost, and Kyoto City immediately became the center of the war.
When Ma Xiaolong led his army to the army assembly point outside Kyoto, troops coming from all over the federation and deserters who had been disbanded and reorganized gathered here. Together with the fleeing Kyoto residents, the entire Kyoto was in chaos.
As a visiting force who came to help, Ma Xiaolong received the greatest goodwill from the federation, and the quality and strength of Longshan's soldiers made this goodwill add a bit of awe.
At this time, it rained heavily. Ma Xiaolong, wearing a nylon raincoat, stepped into the water and entered the Chinese military tent. Inside the Chinese military tent, a senior federal officer was talking: "Kyoto's tax revenue ranks second in the entire federation and the third largest in the country." We must not lose control of Kyoto City as an industrial, commercial and financial center."
"That's easy to say! After the fall of the Abyss, the demon-slaying army was completely wiped out, and the silicon-based life forms exploded in all directions. We assembled so many troops in Xijing City, but ended up being completely defeated. Now Kyoto City wants to defend , I'm afraid it won't be easy." Another officer said slowly.
"That's wrong. It's different now. During the Battle of Xijing, we had not yet developed high-purity silicon crystal weapons and could not find the weaknesses of silicon-based life forms... The situation is different now! The assembly of new bullets , greatly increasing our chances of winning!"
Another officer spoke eloquently.
However, the pessimistic officer said: "What you are talking about is all nonsense. The enemy is facing us now, and you are talking so nicely. Why don't you lead the army to resist the first wave of silicon-based craze that rushed into Kyoto."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone shut up and no one dared to say more.
Ma Xiaolong walked in curiously, and then asked: "Is the first wave of enemies scary?"
Looking at the dumbfounded young man in front of him, a federal general in the Chinese military tent sighed and said: "Little brother, I see you have come from afar to help, otherwise I would spit on your face. You come from the north. I haven’t fought against those monsters before. Their fighting methods are completely different from ours. If we have to compare them, the only analogy can be compared to the zombie wave.”
"a large amount?"
Ma Xiaolong took off his leather gloves, revealing a pair of scarred hands.
"Not only are there a large number of them, they are also difficult to kill." Another old officer said: "According to the information returned from the enemy's front reconnaissance, the first wave of silicon crystal frenzy came directly to Kyoto. , the number of combat units is no less than half a million. In addition, there are more than 20,000 'apostle' level combat units and an unknown number of 'special' combat units. After this silicon frenzy came out of the abyss, in January Connecting to the nine cities, there is no grass in the way... Little brother, you have never seen so many dead people, these silicon-based beings are merciless when killing people."
After hearing this, Ma Xiaolong walked slowly to the map on the wall, looked at the blood-red arrow and fell into deep thought.
"Where is the first person affected?" Ma Xiaolong suddenly asked.
“What bears the brunt of it?”
The officers were a little surprised.
"When the silicon frenzy arrived in Kyoto, where was the fiercest fighting?"
Ma Xiaolong asked.
"Of course it's the Yunshan area!" Several generals who were familiar with the battle said almost in unison.
"Then who is defending the Yunshan area?"
Ma Xiaolong asked again.
"It seems there are two divisions, the Tenth Division and the Seventh Division." Someone whispered.
"Still the remnants."
Someone else added.
Ma Xiaolong had a brief understanding of the federal army numbers. Most of these "temporary" armies were troops whose numbers were not fixed after training and assembly. The 7th Division and the 10th Division were obviously at the top of the federation's army sequence. There is only one possibility for changing the number, and that is that the army has been exhausted.
From this point of view, the battle situation is very miserable.
While everyone was chatting, a general with the rank of general on his shoulder came in.
The general said straight to the point: "I believe everyone here understands the situation. There is no time for us to reconvene and organize. The city of Kyoto is intensively building fortifications, but even if these permanent fortifications are completed, it will take time... Now I We need troops to snipe the enemy in the Yunshan area and give Kyoto a chance to build a defensive circle...Which of you is willing to volunteer? If not, then don't blame me for ordering the general!"
The general's words made everyone on the spot look extremely ugly.
Because everyone knows that this is a fatal arrangement.
Seeing that all the generals present looked like their dead parents, the admiral also frowned.
The war has reached this point, the mountains and rivers are broken, the family and the country are lost, and even the soldiers have lost their courage.
"Look at your expressions!"
The general said angrily: "Who is willing to volunteer?"
There was a long silence, and no one took the initiative to answer.
Seeing this, the general said: "Since no one is willing, then I will call the roll..."
At this moment!
A young voice said: "Since no one is willing to fight this battle, then I will reluctantly shoulder the heavy responsibility."
Everyone looked at the speaker, with expressions of surprise on their faces.
Just because it was Ma Xiaolong who spoke.
The general's face was also very ugly. With so many generals and troops from the Federation gathered here, it turned out that a guest general from afar came to volunteer. This was really embarrassing.
"Little brother, the battlefield is no joke...you have to think clearly." The general said with a pleasant tone.
"I know! I don't think it's urgent because of the war situation!" Ma Xiaolong explained.
The general sighed and said: "You have only been here two days, so you should take a rest first." m.
After saying that, the general named him in a tone that left no room for doubt: "Zhao Ming, take your 15th Army to Yunshan to set up defenses and replace the 7th and 10th Divisions."
The general who was named instantly turned the color of pig liver.
But the general couldn't refuse in front of the admiral's majestic eyes, so he had to accept the order and leave.
However, in just half a day, urgent documents and telegrams from Yunshan area flew to the Chinese military tent like pieces of paper, along with couriers asking for help with blood on their heads and faces, and all the generals in the entire assembly area be terrified.
"Ten thousand people died in the 15th Army in half a day?"
The general repeated the request for help in his hand in disbelief, and was stunned.
"Li Long, bring people up to support!"
The general nodded again.
However, General Li replied: "Shangfeng, have you forgotten that my army was wiped out last week?"
"Where's Huang Qiang?"
the general asked again.
The general named Huang Qiang said: "Report to the top, my people are still on the way. It is estimated that there will be three days to complete the assembly."
At this moment, the entire Chinese military tent was in silence.
Seeing everyone's dull expressions, Ma Xiaolong took the initiative to ask for help again: "If there is really no one available, I'd better take over."
"Xiao Ma, you are a guest..." The general sighed.
"In the period of human life and death, there is no distinction between host and guest."
Ma Xiaolong said.
Some people died, but not completely...
