Girls und War

The Honshu Peninsula is the long horizontal line at the top.

To be more specific, if the horizontal line controlled by the cherry blossom area is extended a little more and bent downward, it will form a sickle-shaped narrow island-type geographical feature.

Together with the Kyushu Islands outside the peninsula, this is the entire control area of ​​the Sakura District.

From this perspective, the importance of the Dada Mountains to the cherry blossom area is self-evident.

If there was no such last line of defense, the Flower District would be able to advance all the way to the low-latitude areas and storm their entire peninsula plain industrial zone, leaving no room for retreat.

Therefore, the Dada Mountains are the last psychological defense line of the Sakura District. If the Flower District wants to attack, they will really be like a gambler who has lost everything and will bet the fate of the country to defend the Dada Mountains.

Because without this "last underwear", Sakura District would really have nothing.

Knowing this, Xia Shu naturally would not plan such a thankless attack plan.

Moreover, it is becoming difficult to control the flower areas in the mountainous areas now.

To the southeast, the Dada Mountains are easily defended but difficult to attack. Since the Sakura District considers this place their underbelly, the defensive strength of the mountains is definitely not comparable to that of the higher altitude areas.

Xia Shu estimated that they had almost hollowed out the entire mountain range, and the more than 200 kilometers might be filled with the military fortresses they had seen before.

She doesn't have hundreds of heavy bunker-buster bombs to flatten an entire mountain range.

To the northwest, the Flower District now borders the Snow District. The defensive responsibilities previously shouldered by the Sakura District now fall to the Flower District.

It turned out that due to the need for survival, Sakura District used 80% of the materials produced on the mountain front to strengthen defense.

Most of the defensive points are designed to target the snowy areas that may move south.

With this calculation, it seems that the resource points obtained in this battle are really not enough to cover their losses.

With a 20% net profit every year, if the investment can be recovered within two years, the flower district will have to defend this area for at least two years.

The cherry blossom area may be poor, but the Dada Mountains are equally rich in products.

Coupled with their local silver mine production capacity, I believe that the Sakura District will not be seriously damaged within a few years.

However, we cannot just look at the surface of the gains and losses.

At least from a strategic point of view, this is the first step in the three-step plan of the Flower District.

The Sakura District must be scared now, and for a period of time, they will not be able to think of confronting the Flower District again.

After seeing this massive battle, the surrounding war zones will have to think twice before challenging the Flower Zone whether they have the strength to do so.

As for the area east of the ridge line of the high mountain front, material production is just an extra addition and does not count.

Moreover, their current occupation has not yet been completely completed. Several small mountain ranges still radiate from the Dada Mountains and are stuck in the rainforest control area of ​​the Flower District.

With the addition of that special forces unit, it seems that the Flower District is not so comfortable with its current occupation of the area east of the Alpine Front.

However, Xia Shu did not intend to solve these problems once and for all.

Anyway, their special forces will definitely not be stationed here permanently in the future.

Even if there are any problems, just let Wutongqi solve them himself.

As for now, a small amount of firefighting can still bring a lot of deployment frequency to the three military headquarters.

They would be extremely happy if the Air Force and Navy departments could send out planes from time to time to attack cars and fire missiles.

Xia Shu was prepared to let the rear-field battle continue like this until Princess Zhao gave her the order to retreat, or the day when Sakura District wanted to negotiate peace.

It now seems that the day of peace talks is not too far away.

Just as Xia Shu and the staff team were studying the future situation, several groups of prisoner exchange officers from the Sakura District came to their door.

But Xia Shu didn't ask anything of Sakura District, so he just left them alone for a while out of fun.

It was not until Princess Zhaohuang's military supervisor spoke that she asked Xiaobai to arrange a meeting with the envoy from the Sakura District.

It seems that Xia Shu is really a bad woman.

1000. What is an international force? (Tactical retreat)

A transportation hub on the mountain front and a transit station for logistical supplies.

This is where the flower district transports combat supplies to the front line. Seventy percent of the ammunition, fuel and food are shipped out from here and transported to the current alpine rain forest area and snow line area by vehicles of the logistics support troops.

In addition, the temporary combat command post of the alpine front was also set up nearby.

Therefore, the defense of this area is particularly tight.

Anti-aircraft combat vehicles and radar vehicles are in operation almost 24 hours a day, and personnel patrols are carried out at all times to ensure that no enemy in the Sakura District can sneak into the vicinity without being noticed.

The soldiers on duty here are from the most elite companies of the front-line combat forces in Hua District.

They work in three shifts, with five to six people in each team, patrolling inside and outside the transfer station and ready to check people nearby at any time.

This is true even for the cargo loading and unloading plaza, which is the core of the transfer station.

Once the patrol team finds someone suspicious, even if that person's rank is a colonel, they will still go up and question him.

However, this strict attitude is only relaxed in front of one type of person.

For example, there are two cute girls in full armor sitting on the ammunition box and chatting.

Judging from the equipment they are wearing, you can tell that the unit these two girls belong to is definitely rich.

Specially made full-body cut-resistant nylon combat uniform, ultra-lightweight ear-mounted laser communication equipment, multi-functional combat dagger, brand new fully equipped grenade-equipped assault rifle—

In a word, it’s expensive.

It is said that their under-slung grenade launchers can also fire small thermobaric bombs, destroying one bunker with one shot.

The unit equipped with this kind of combat firepower is none other than Xia Shu's Flower District Special Forces.

Looking at the two special forces soldiers with relaxed expressions, the other soldiers on duty in the flower district were full of envy.

The best military equipment and the strongest combat force in Hua District.

At the same time, we have achieved the most dazzling results and the most amazing results.

They can easily complete all tasks that other infantry squads can and cannot do.

Airdropping into the enemy's core control area at night and blowing up their communication center right under the enemy's nose - if you tell anyone about this, it can be made into a war movie.

The Hua District Special Forces is such a team.

However, the members of the special forces team remained calm and composed, as if they were taking on a task with ease.

——Well, at least that's how they appear to be.

And now they are fully qualified to be a little more arrogant and eccentric, and sit there to fully enjoy the admiring looks cast at them by the other girls in the standing army.

Because they are indeed qualified.

Sitting in the square when they have nothing to do, chatting and enjoying the feeling of being the center of attention is what the special forces members like to do most during this truce.

It seems that, in a sense, the special forces do seem to be somewhat similar to the heavy cavalry.

However, despite their admiration, the patrol members still did not forget their duties.

So after seeing a group of unfamiliar officers entering the square from outside, the officer in charge of the square's security immediately stepped forward and asked them to show their credentials.

The team was led by two special forces soldiers armed with live ammunition. They seemed to be very accustomed to the scene before them, so they took out a document and handed it to the leading officer.

The officers in the team were very surprised. Seeing that the square was still heavily guarded, they asked the special forces member in front of them, "We've already arrived, and there's still such strict security. Is it necessary?"

The special forces soldier replied, "When you think it's unnecessary, that's exactly when we think it's necessary."

At this time, the captain in charge of security seemed to have checked the identities of the officers. He looked at them with a meaningful look and said, "Ah~ Prisoners exchanged for officers~"

Then they were allowed to enter the square.

Although the negotiation officers from Sakura District felt extremely uncomfortable with that look, they obviously put the overall situation first at this time and did not make any unnecessary fuss about this issue.

So soon, led by the special forces, the group crossed the square and arrived near the command center.

The team member sitting on the ammunition box basking in the sun and the team leader greeted each other with a smile.

Afterwards, the two team members took them into a barracks, where they met the Hua District staff command team.

At this time, Xia Shu was standing in front of the sand table, discussing the geographical structure of the mountainous area with Qingxian.

Seeing two team members bringing people in, she raised her head and asked other staff members to continue their research.

Then he took the officers from Sakura District to the lounge next door and let them sit down as they pleased.

"There is no hot water, but there is plenty of cold water. Please forgive me." After Xia Shu asked Rong Xingcao to pour a glass of water for each officer, he picked up his own cup and blew gently into it.

Faced with the cold treatment, the officers in Sakura District did not show any emotion.

Moreover, they are not very interested in water now. What they care more about is whether Xia Shu has any intention of releasing the prisoners.

So the lieutenant colonel leading the Sakura District said, "Ms. Xia Shu, let's get this straight to the point. Are you willing to exchange with us for the prisoners captured during this operation?"

Xia Shu pondered for a moment and did not answer.

After a while, he said to her, "Just last night, I received news from the rain forest that your 'Sakura' team had just blown up two of our food supply trucks. So, I wanted to ask if you were willing to negotiate with us."

Lieutenant Colonel Yingqu was slightly embarrassed by this answer. But she could only bite the bullet and say, "Special Forces...are not under our control. Furthermore, this is completely different from a prisoner exchange and shouldn't be confused."

Xia Shu spread her hands when she heard this, seeming to be quite disdainful of the remarks. But she still replied, "Then how do you want to exchange? Sakura District doesn't have any of our prisoners."

Upon hearing this, Lieutenant Colonel Yingqu exchanged a glance with another officer and replied, "During the previous standoff on the mountain front, we captured a group of soldiers from Huaqu. We hope to make an exchange of equal value with you."

"Hmm..." Xia Shu pondered for a moment and replied, "But the troops you fought against in the previous battle were probably those commanded by Vice Admiral Wutongqi. As you said, they and I are two different things and should not be confused."

This answer surprised the Sakura District officer a little.

But considering that the Flower District is such a large war zone, it is normal that the various departments do not belong to each other.

But as Xia Shu said, Sakura District did not have any captured soldiers for Xia Shu to command.

Then the principle of equal exchange does not apply here.

1001. Loyal captives will not transform into the enemy

Hearing Xia Shu's cold and heartless words, Lieutenant Colonel Sakuraqu did not show any surprise.

It seems that she had done enough homework before coming here.

When the lieutenant colonel faced Xia Shu's cold face, he naturally couldn't just turn his head and leave.

Because she had a mission, she needed help from Xia Shu.

Even if he was reluctant, the lieutenant colonel had to do his best to get those poor girls from Sakura District home as quickly as possible.

For this reason, it is acceptable even if you have to lose face and be humble.

So the lieutenant colonel bowed his head to Xia Shu and said, "Please reconsider Miss Xia Shu. After all, keeping them in a prisoner camp will consume a lot of resources."

Xia Shu's expression didn't change when he heard this. He just replied, "We can support him for now. Don't worry about it."

As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something and added, "Oh, right. When I was in the Red Dragon Squadron, I think I also captured a group of your combat personnel. Have they been released now?"

Upon hearing this, the lieutenant colonel was stunned for a moment and asked, "When did it happen? Which unit did they belong to?"

"About two years ago. I think it was from the Sunny Doll Squadron. I remember one of them had his hands and feet blown off. It left a deep impression on me." Xia Shu replied.

"Oh, they're my wife Yue's old subordinates." A major nearby answered on his behalf, "They were captured two years ago. Naturally, they've returned now."

"Hmm... Agatsuma Yue." Natsuki remembered the name and her past with Dragon, so she smiled and said, "How is the captain now? Is he still in the frontline combat unit?"

Upon hearing this, the lieutenant colonel replied, "She has been transferred and is now serving as a combat staff officer in the special operations force. It seems that she is leading the special operations force this time."

At this moment, the lieutenant colonel suddenly felt something was wrong.

How come the topic has turned back to the "Sakura" team?

However, Xia Shu didn't feel dissatisfied at all. After all, special forces are special forces, and they are born to disgust the enemy.

If the "Sakura" team hadn't done these things, Natsuki would have thought they were unprofessional.

And at this time, thinking of Agatsuma Yue and Doragon, Natsuki suddenly felt a kind of kind of nostalgia.

So Xia Shu leaned back in his chair and said calmly, "Then let's get this straight. Are you coming here to send out a signal for peace talks?"

Upon hearing this, several Sakura District officers looked at each other, and then the lieutenant colonel nodded cautiously to Xia Shu.
