Chapter 545: Give the People a Peaceful and Prosperous World

Su Xiangnan put the letter back into the envelope, pressed his hands against his eyes, and tried to hold back his tears.

At this moment, guard Qu Xiaoman shouted "Report" and walked in, saying to Su Xiangnan:

"Captain, Lu's communication."

Su Xiangnan put down his hands, stood up, and walked into the communication room next door.

He walked to the walkie-talkie, and Lu's shocked voice came from the headset, asking him about the situation on his side.

Su Xiangnan told him about the enemy's sneak attack on the rear and the landmine. After listening to it, Lu Jingchen thought for a while and reminded Su Xiangnan:

"The enemy's sneak attack was unsuccessful this time, and they will probably take big actions soon. It is estimated that the firepower will be even more fierce in the next attack."

Su Xiangnan knew that Lu Jingchen was worried about him, and replied:

"Don't worry, we can hold it."

"Well, don't force it. As long as the large enemy forces enter the combat area, release the signal bomb." After Lu Jingchen answered, he hesitated and asked:

"Did something happen over there?" He had already heard that there was something wrong with Su Xiangnan's voice.

Su Xiangnan was silent for a while, and then replied:

"Liu Xiaofeng died."

Hearing the news of Liu Xiaofeng's death, Lu Jingzhen's expression was obviously stunned for a moment.

But he recovered as usual in an instant. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Su Xiangnan immediately say to him:

"You don't have to comfort me, I just don't know how to tell Su Man about this when I go back."

"I think too much." Lu Jingzhen's voice was normal:

"I didn't want to comfort you." After that, he said:

"When you go to the battlefield, your life has been handed over to the country. It is a blessing to be alive, and it is an honor to die in battle."

He said that he didn't want to comfort him, but it was obvious that he was telling Su Xiangnan not to blame himself, Liu Xiaofeng was still glorious even though he died.

The two had lived together since childhood, so Su Xiangnan naturally knew that Lu Jingchen was trying to comfort himself. He curled his lips and joked,

"You are quite aware."

After that, his tone returned to normal, and he said to Lu Jingchen half-jokingly and half-seriously,

"You are tall. When you are hiding, remember to squat low and don't show your head outside."

After cutting off the communication, Su Xiangnan returned to the command room, still feeling a little depressed.

Compared with Lu Jingchen, Su Xiangnan's personality is more emotional. Although he has been on the battlefield several times, he still cannot control his emotions well when facing the death of his comrades.

He knows that for a commander, this is not a good thing.

There is no war without bloodshed and sacrifice. Once you are on the battlefield, life and death are not up to you. Everyone may die. There are

too many soldiers like Liu Xiaofeng who have sacrificed their lives to defend the country's territory. The shells will not bypass him just because they are young.

Only without aggression, war and artillery fire, these young lives will not be easily taken away. Their sacrifice now is to create a peaceful and prosperous world for future generations, so that they will no longer be threatened by aggression, war and artillery fire.

As Lu Jingxie expected, because the scouts sent by Country X were wiped out and did not send back any useful information, they soon launched a second round of attack.

This time the firepower was even more fierce, Su Xiangnan calmly commanded his troops to counterattack, but Country X had always been the vanguard, and the main force had been slow to join.

If this continued, it would be very unfavorable for Su Xiangnan, and he had to find a way to lure their main force over as soon as possible.

Su Xiangnan observed with a telescope for a long time, then turned to the guards around him and gave an order:

"Give orders to the people below to add three more mortars, increase firepower suppression, and create a posture of defending the position to the death."

"But commander..." Qu Xiaoman said with concern:

"If the ammunition is consumed too quickly, we can support it later, and the time for the land regiment to come to support will be shortened."

"Didn't you see it? The enemy is still waiting and the main force has not come. The longer the time is delayed, the greater the risk of our exposure." Su Xiangnan replied seriously.

He knew that increasing the firepower now would indeed have certain risks, but if he didn't fight quickly and attract the enemy's main force.

Once their position is exposed, the enemy will know that this is not the real firepower deployment point and will immediately attack the other side. Then the whole Xinan may fall.

"Yes, Commander, I will convey the order now." Qu Xiaoman immediately took the order and left.

After Su Xiangnan's momentum, the main force of the enemy finally responded and quickly moved here.

In fact, they were inclined to believe that the defense map sent by Mo Xiaoxiao was real at the beginning, because the enemy saw Su Xiangxi commit suicide at the train station in Yincheng with his own eyes.

They had already figured out Su Xiangxi's identity and knew that he was Su Yunfei's eldest son.

If the defense map was fake, they used Su Xiangxi's life to deceive the trust of Country X. The price was too high for them.

And they also knew that the one who came to the deployment point to command the battle was Su Yunlong's second son.

If this was not a real firepower deployment point, then the Su family did not take their son's life seriously.

"Report to the regiment commander, the enemy's main force is on the way to join us." Qu Xiaoman came to report the military situation to Su Xiangnan in the command room.

"Good!" Su Xiangnan was immediately encouraged when he heard the good news.

"But Commander, I'm afraid our ammunition and personnel won't last long." Qu Xiaoman said with some concern:

"Do you think we should send a signal bomb earlier to notify the land regiment to come to support us?"

Su Xiangnan thought for a moment, then waved his hand and replied:

"The enemy's main force has not yet reached the original attack range, so the signal bomb cannot be sent for the time being."

Seeing Qu Xiaoman's worried look, he also knew that the number of casualties in our army in the previous battle had exceeded the prior estimate. After thinking about it, he said:

"I will go to the front line to command the battle myself."

"But, Commander Su..."

Before Qu Xiaoman finished speaking, Su Xiangnan stopped him with his hand and said firmly:

"No need to say anything, go now."

He knew that it would be dangerous for him to go, but now was a critical moment. Going to the front line in person could mobilize the soldiers' confidence to the greatest extent.

In his opinion, no one's life was more precious than anyone else's. Aren't the soldiers still charging and breaking through the battle line in the front? Why couldn't he go!

Soon Su Xiangnan arrived at the battlefield and began to command the battle.

Seeing him coming, the soldiers' morale really increased, and they began to fight more and more bravely.

However, because three more mortars were used in the early stage, Su Xiangnan's firepower could not keep up as time went on. Qu Xiaoman could not hold on any longer and reminded Su Xiangnan:

"Captain, it is time to fire the signal bomb."
