On Li Xin's side, after defeating the enemy in front of him, there was no large enemy force in front of him to serve as an obstacle.

Now he seemed to be at a fork in the road, one of which led to the capital city of the Todut war zone.

The other one is the road leading to the rescue of Zhong Jianping.

Originally, according to Li Xin's idea, he should go straight to Huanglong, but now even he has changed his mind.

There's no way, the facts have already taught him a lesson.

In each of these blocking cities, there is a powerful Order-loving Warlord. If a large-scale blood sacrifice occurs in the more populous capital of Todut, more demonic armies will be summoned.

It will definitely be much more than it is now. Relying on the power that Li Xin has at this moment, it is nothing but a pipe dream to want to defeat the enemy.

After taking the city, the troops began to rest temporarily.

After a bloody battle, Li Xin was in good condition, but the vehicles and infantry in the mechanized troops were a different story.

Fighting against the Fallen and demons requires not only physical combat, but also enduring the chaotic pollution brought by the demons in your heart.

This is something that must be taken seriously. After leaving the battlefield about 20 kilometers, the troops temporarily began to rest on a flat ground here.

The damaged armored units began temporary repairs here, and the wounded were loaded onto armored personnel carriers and transported to the rear, trying their best to preserve their lives.

On Li Xin's side, he selected about a battalion of mecha troops and prepared to set off again.

The battle on his side was over, but Zhong Jianping and a large number of defeated soldiers were now like stray dogs, being chased by the pursuers.

A brigade of two hundred mechas under the leadership of Li Xin will definitely be able to bring Zhong Jianping back safely.

…

In the wilderness.

Zhong Jianping was in a very bad condition. He had hardly slept for several days. Every time he arrived at a place, the enemy pursuers would stick to him like leeches.

Along the way, he gathered a lot of troops, but the number of troops could not be increased.

The enemy treated him as a bait. Whenever the troops around him gathered more than a certain number, the pursuers would come after him.

Defeat and kill most of them, then release Zhong Jianping and let him continue to gather the surrounding troops.

Including Zhong Jianping's vehicle, it has been changed several times. Now his vehicle has become an infantry fighting vehicle.

Su Yuan's face was equally pale. In every battle, he had to use all his strength to protect himself and Zhong Jianping and escape.

The injuries on his body became more and more numerous, and the accumulation of injuries was almost overwhelming him.

On the other hand, Zhong Jinyao has now cut her long hair into short hair that reaches her ears, and the ends are even uneven. It is obvious that the person who cut her hair is not very skilled.

Now she is bandaging the injuries of the other guards in the car.

Now in Zhong Jianping's temporary command vehicle, the only people who can appear are middle and senior military officers, mainly some staff officers.

Now even these staff officers who basically never fight on the front line are basically all injured. You can imagine what kind of life they are living now.

Zhong Jianping's lips were pale, and it was obvious that he hadn't had any water for a while. He said in a dry voice, "What's the situation in the army now?"

A staff officer who was in better condition said, "Sir, there are about three thousand people gathered around us now."

"Is there a complete army?"

"Is there a commander on the front line?"

Zhong Jianping asked quickly.

Upon hearing this, the staff officer shook his head silently. He said, "The organization has been completely disbanded. The largest organization now is a battalion-level unit... Most of the soldiers gathered around us are deserters."

Zhong Jianping sighed deeply upon hearing this. He said, "Pull all the battalion and company-level commanders into a unified command channel!"

"I am now the interim theater defense manager of M5 and have the authority to promote them!"

"We need to reorganize our forces as quickly as possible. The enemy will soon be coming up again. We won't have much time."

The staff officer saluted with difficulty and then began to operate.

With the establishment of a unified command channel, dozens of junior officers were pulled into this command channel.

Zhong Jianping looked at these people's names, original levels and positions, and couldn't help but sigh and shake his head.

Basically, they are all M2, and some are not even M2. The highest position is a battalion commander, and others are more likely to be company-level officers, and there are even many staff officers who have never led soldiers.

The senior commanders of the Todut war zone were either dead or their entire army was defeated in a surprise attack by the Fallen Army sent by Duan Xinjie.

The troops were disbanded, some soldiers died, and many officers also died.

In most cases, soldiers cannot find their generals, and generals cannot find their soldiers.

In many cases, an army that has lost its command system has almost no combat effectiveness.

It is no longer the ancient times when victory in battle can be determined by a single infantryman and the personal skills of the soldiers.

Modern wars are fought on a system basis. Only an army with a complete system can win the battle.

After sighing, Zhong Jianping tried to calm himself down. He said slowly, "Now is the most critical moment for our survival!"

"The enemy is pursuing us from behind, and we haven't even established a complete organization and command system."

"If we continue to lose like this, what will happen to the people in the war zone? They are still waiting for us to rescue them!"

Zhong Jianping took out a brand new job grade form. Several staff officers who were still injured had been busy with Zhong Jianping for a while to form a new military organization.

Here, all living officers received temporary promotions.

About 3,000 defeated soldiers were reorganized into a new combat brigade.

The highest-ranking battalion commander was temporarily appointed as the brigade commander of the brigade, and other officers were also promoted.

Zhong Jianping sent the form to the command channel and said, "At this moment, your original positions are no longer important."

"Now, all of you, according to the position information on this form, immediately contact your superior and subordinate units."

"Senior officers will immediately coordinate the command of officers, and junior officers will begin to gather all soldiers who have lost their organization."

"At this moment, we all need to pull together as one and overcome this difficult time!"

"Gentlemen, victory will eventually belong to us humans!!"
