Zhongli pushed his gold-rimmed glasses again and pointed at several locations on the map.

"The first company will be responsible for the 200-meter defense line in the middle, the second company will be on the left, and the third company will be on the right."

"These bunkers between the fifth and sixth trenches," he said, his fingers moving across a few marked spots, "must be packed with enough explosives. If not, they won't collapse."

"Also," he marked the new location, "pay special attention to these three support points. Demolition could cause a chain reaction."

Liu Jianjie nodded his head, muttering, "Battalion Commander, what are we going to do with those bodies in there?"

"Remove the batteries from the exoskeleton and take away the ammunition," Zhongli said in a flat voice. "Blow up the rest!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the edge of the map.

"Also, have the soldiers dig a pit behind the eighth trench! Bury all the round-robin weapons we've captured, leaving only the turret exposed."

"35mm dual-purpose anti-aircraft and anti-ground cannons, primarily for air defense, supplemented by ground attack, are staggered at this spacing."

The three company commanders gathered around, carefully observing the location marked by Zhongli and secretly memorizing it in their minds.

"Also, the 140th Division's heavy mortar battalion is already in position outside the mountain. They have plenty of 280 caliber shells."

"When the battle zone's firepower can't be called upon, just call upon your own artillery."

Zhongli closed the map.

"Disperse, seize the time and get moving."

The three company commanders saluted and then dispersed.

Then, Zhongli's gaze swept across the remaining nine warriors, his eyes darkened, and finally fell on Li Wei.

"Level three?" he asked casually.

Li Wei imitated others, keeping her heels together and her chest and head high.

"Yes, Captain!"

Her weird military posture made many people laugh.

Zhongli's expression remained unchanged.

He stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and said, "You are a level three warrior, so you should be able to lead a few people into battle."

"but......"

"Report to the battalion commander!" Li Wei interrupted, "I'm good at fighting alone. Others can't keep up with my speed!"

Hearing such arrogant words, many warriors in the army looked surprised.

Zhongli nodded, as if he believed Li Wei.

"Then your mission is to defend the 1st Company's position."

"If you have the spare capacity, support the 2nd and 3rd companies on both wings."

After giving the order, he couldn't help but look at Li Wei's face again.

Beautiful, tender, with a pair of watery almond eyes, and a hint of clear stupidity.

Even though he was wearing a military uniform and light armor, he didn't look like a soldier at all. Instead, he looked like a cosplayer at a comic convention.

He couldn't help but curse in the Shuchuan dialect.

"What's the big guy thinking? How dare a naive third-level warrior like you go to Western Xinjiang?"

Li Wei was confused and looked around for someone to translate.

Unfortunately, the others all looked as if they were daydreaming or looking down in deep thought, and ignored her completely.

She curled her lips and was about to ask Zhongli directly when she saw him turn to a tall man and said in an equal, non-commanding tone:

"Brother Ye, take care of her and explain to her the ways of military warriors."

The man called "Ye Ge" had ordinary facial features, deep contours, dark skin, and carried a standard Guandao on his back.

Chen Fan had introduced this when the 2nd Battalion gathered to grab equipment.

The captain of the second battalion's accompanying warrior squadron, with the strength of the peak of the third level, was promoted to major due to his accumulated military merits (normal warrior majors are at the fourth level).

In a battle a few months ago, he broke his left arm and his strength declined significantly.

Later, a robotic arm was installed that could connect to nerves and be controlled freely.

However, his wounds often caused severe phantom pain.

Zheng Ye's temper gradually became irritable, and he also developed a habit of smoking heavily.

However, according to Chen Fan, overall, he is a very reliable comrade.

After hearing Zhongli's words, Zheng Ye nodded dully, walked towards the trench area with a gloomy look, and motioned Li Wei to follow him.

Li Wei's expression straightened and she followed closely behind.

She was quite looking forward to the imparting of knowledge from battlefield veterans.

After walking a few dozen steps, he moved away from the "mandrill".

The two men stopped one after another and stood side by side on a mound of earth.

Ahead was the trench area. In the darkness, the soldiers relied on temporary lighting equipment to continuously strengthen their positions.

Someone was re-fixing the fallen steel plates on the inner walls of the trench; someone was laying communication lines at various important locations; someone else was pushing a 25mm machine gun into a bunker on a commanding height...

In the light and shadow cast by the lights, everyone is busy in an orderly manner.

Zheng Ye took out a cigarette, lit it, took a puff, and said in a rough voice:

"There's nothing else to say, except this: if something is impossible, the warriors should retreat first... Remember this!"

Li Wei was a little confused and couldn't help but question: "Shouldn't we be the last ones to leave and let the ordinary soldiers retreat first? After all, our strength..."

"Oh......"

Zheng Ye blew out a smoke ring, his voice calm and without any emotion.

"How much does it cost to train a warrior? Don't you know how to calculate?"

Li Wei was silent, and felt a little upset when she saw the soldiers busy as ants on the battlefield.

Zheng Ye lowered his eyes, a curve formed at the corner of his mouth, and his voice, as rough as the northwest wind and sand, echoed in Li Wei's ears.

"I've seen your agility and speed... Just remember this, and you'll have a hard time dying."

After saying that, he took another deep puff of his cigarette as if to vent his anger and cursed under his breath.
