It was supposed to be a casual game, but the Long March dungeon brought tears to everyone's eye

Looking at the North Korean People's Army soldier wailing in pain, Kuang Ge felt a mix of emotions.

In their world, losing a war simply means negotiating reparations, or if all else fails, ceding territory to sue for peace.

But after experiencing so much in Luo Laozei's world, Kuang Ge has come to understand more and more what it means for a country to fall and for people to die.

Not only did they lose their position and their hometown, but they also lost everything else.

In the end, even this land beneath our feet, a place so fertile it makes us want to cry, may not be able to be saved.

This is a country destroyed, and the mountains and rivers are gone!

The dozens of North Korean People's Army remnants also started crying.

They were just a little short of unifying the peninsula, but the allied forces of the great powers outflanked and cut them off, losing most of their equipment and most of their men.

They were truly stunned.

They were so bewildered that they couldn't even defend their own country.

But now, but now… the soldier who suddenly lost an arm wiped his face and laughed.

His smile was ugly, and he hadn't even wiped the tears from his face.

The people around him looked at him at first, and soon some of them started laughing too.

A soldier with blood-stained feet threw away his wooden stick, stood up unsteadily, and then raised his hands and spun halfway around the mountain path.

Then a few more people got up.

They supported each other and began to dance on the cold mountain path.

There was no drum, no zither.

Their movements were also uneven; some only had one arm left, and some were bleeding from their feet.

He jumped and jumped until he fell into the mud, but he was still laughing after he got up.

On each face, snot, tears, and smiles were all mixed together.

The soldiers of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army were speechless.

In particular, many veterans who experienced the War of Resistance Against Japan can better understand the feeling of the North Korean People's Army when they faced the invaders and managed to survive in a desperate situation.

However, at that time, the Dragon Kingdom did not have any friendly neighbors who could provide them with direct military support. They could only rely on themselves and wait for the dawn of victory.

"Sigh, this makes my heart ache," sighed a viewer in the Dragon Kingdom's live stream. "How desperate must they be to be so happy to see reinforcements?"

"If our Dragon Kingdom were also attacked all the way to our doorstep, and suddenly saw that someone was coming to our aid with the full power of the nation, I estimate we would be even more frantic than them."

"After all, they no longer have to wait for death in despair; at least they have something to look forward to, something to hope for."

Whether there is hope or not is extremely important for a country on the verge of collapse.

Even in the Dragon Kingdom back then, many people waited for dawn for a very, very long time.

Just like Lao Zheng, who had been longing for sweet and sour pork for years, what was he hoping for when he finally asked for braised pork slices? It was all for the thought of continuing on.

"See that?"

At this moment, the cold wind in the valley swept away a layer of morning mist, and Squad Leader Shi turned to look at the soldiers of the Third Squad.

"Now you know why our Chinese People's Volunteer Army went on overseas expeditions, right?"

The soldiers nodded silently, watching the group of people crying and laughing on the mountain path.

Squad Leader Shi gasped, his jaw clenched tightly.

"If those allied powers were to invade our homeland..."

He didn't say the rest of his sentence, but all the soldiers in the third squad understood it.

If the flames of war were to truly spread across the Yalu River, reach Andong, and reach the riverbanks, those who were crying out in the mud would become their parents and brothers and sisters.

Looking down the mountain, Kuang Ge was deeply moved and suddenly began to sing a line.

"To safeguard peace and defend our motherland is to protect our hometown..."

The soldiers of the third squad became even more silent.

The significance of protecting one's homeland is not just about driving out the invaders within the country during the War of Resistance.

The real skill lies in preventing covetous invaders from encroaching upon the country!

Just like China today, which of its neighboring countries dares to fire the first shot at China?

What they need to do is to prevent those wolves and tigers from daring to ravage the Northern Dynasty like they did!

Soon, the negotiations reached a conclusion on the mountain road ahead.

Less than three minutes into the conversation, the commander of the 360th Regiment suddenly turned around and called out.

"Guards!"

"arrive!"

"Notify all battalions and companies to prepare for a turn!"

The guard took off running, rushing along the mountain path towards the hidden team behind him.

The company commander of the third company crouched low and quickly crawled back to his hiding place. He took off his military cap, scanned the surroundings, and shouted.

"Get your act together, all of you!"

"We just received news from the North Korean army that the vanguard of the allied forces has already captured the ancient city of Ningbian!"

Kuang Ge and his group were completely stunned.

The 360th Regiment was originally going to Ningbian to organize defenses there, but the enemy took it first.

The allied powers advanced even faster than they had anticipated.

But thinking about it, it makes sense; the allied powers had more than just planes and tanks.

Motor transport, armored assaults, and air cover were all deployed along the North Korean People's Army's retreat route.

Once the North Korean People's Army's lines are breached, the follow-up troops of the allied powers will continue to roll northward along the road.

This is what makes mechanized forces truly terrifying.

The company commander didn't give everyone time to think it over; he squatted down and explained it to them.

"The regimental headquarters has reported the situation to the division headquarters. The original route has been cancelled, and the entire regiment will immediately advance north of Yunshan City!"

"We might be able to stop the enemy's northward advance from here!"

The situation changed, and they could not afford to rest any longer; the 360th Regiment had to break camp and continue their journey.

The soldiers hidden in the woods and gullies stood up one after another, brushed off the dry grass and mud from their uniforms, and put their marching gear back on.

No one went to look at the remnants of the Northern Dynasty soldiers on the mountain path anymore.

The 360th Regiment quickly turned around and plunged into the deeper mountains and forests north of Yunshan City.

The mountain winds are getting stronger.

The treetops rustled incessantly, and withered leaves tumbled wildly along the mountain path.

A round-faced soldier following behind Squad Leader Shi, who had been holding back for a long time, suddenly spoke up and asked a question.

"Squad Leader Shi, I'm a little confused."

"The North Korean People's Army is a regular army, after all. How could they retreat so quickly?"

"When we were fighting the War of Resistance against Japan, many important cities were defended for a very long time."

"How could they have lost Ningbian in such a short time?"

This is within the territory of North Korea. How could the North Korean People's Army allow the allied forces of the great powers to advance to a point almost reaching the border of their Dragon Kingdom?

The round-faced warrior found it absurd.

Several soldiers nearby tilted their ears, unable to understand it either.

In their view, defending the city was nothing more than throwing lives into the river.

As long as you're willing to fight, you can always take a bite out of the enemy!

"You don't know anything!" said Squad Leader Shi.

"You think the allied powers only captured Ningbian?"

"Pyongyang, the core city of the Northern Dynasty, has now been captured by them!"

The round-faced soldier slipped and nearly crashed into the back of his comrade in front of him.

"Pyongyang...it's all lost?"

He couldn't understand where Pyongyang was, but the core city was similar to the capital city after the establishment of the new dragon state.

If the invaders were to occupy this area, it would be a serious problem, indicating that the entire defensive line of the North Korean People's Army had been breached.

But no, weren't they here to provide support?

The North Korean People's Army has been breached, so what are they here to support?

Are you suggesting that the Chinese People's Volunteer Army... take on the combined forces of seventeen great powers single-handedly?
