The transport plane that turned around and returned was the last group of Zhao Jiakun and others who had evacuated from Siliconchuan Town.

"Brother Hou, thank you." When Zhao Jiakun rushed to the small square, he did not expect that the seriously injured Hou Daming would lead the team himself and stayed at the evacuation point to wait for them to return. When he was moved, Zhao Jiakun did not care about the so-called face and sincerely expressed his gratitude to Hou Daming. Hou Daming also laughed and waved his hand to signal Zhao Jiakun to lead the team to board the transport plane. At this point, the past grudges between the two have been written off.

On the transport plane, Zhao Jiakun reported to Hou Daming his actions to rescue refugees for the first time, and did not report to the regiment headquarters for the purpose of deciding the action without authorization. He admitted his mistake to Hou Daming. Hou Daming naturally generously said that he would not care about these things, and instead praised Zhao Jiakun and his heroic actions deployed. Then, Hou Daming also transparent to Zhao Jiakun what he knew about the inside information about the evacuation operation directly issued by the contingent command.

"A counselor of the task force command is my fellow villager, and he issued a retreat order directly to me. However, he then explained to me privately that this time, not only our strengthening regiment was forced to withdraw from the defensive position immediately, but all the troops fighting on the front line of the task force were ordered to withdraw urgently." Through the holographic porthole, Hou Daming looked at the towering PN01 ladder platform in the distance, sighed and said: "It is obvious that the War Zone General The ministry has decided to give up this barren planet. My fellow countrymen advised me to evacuate the position and arrive at the ladder platform where there is a small team of space battleships that came to assist our special service team in evacuation. The deadline for the evacuation time is before dark and after dark, the small fleet will leave the atmosphere of the planet Puen. It is said that there will be a large-scale operation specifically targeting the alien insects on the planet Puen. As for what kind of operation it is, even my fellow countrymen are not very clear."

"What if I give up Puen, then there are still millions of refugees waiting to evacuate here." After hearing Hou Daming's story, Zhao Jiakun asked in surprise.

"I don't know either. Oh, brother, this may not be something that the officers at the bottom of the front line like you and me can worry about." Hou Daming smiled bitterly and shook his head, and sighed again, "What I can do is to let the remaining brothers of the Enhancement Group go home with all their arms and legs. Alas, you also know that our Enhancement Group has shed enough blood in this ghost place."

It was Hou Daming's last sigh that made Zhao Jiakun, who was originally angry, feel speechless for a moment. Hou Daming was telling the truth. The entire strengthening regiment originally had a total of 10,000 troops, and all kinds of chariot and mecha equipment were the only ones. However, after coming to the planet Puen, he had barely fought with the bloody and brutal alien insect army for a few rounds, and the casualties of the strengthening regiment reached nearly one-third, and various heavy weapons and equipment were even exhausted. It can be said that he had almost lost his combat effectiveness. If it weren't for two rounds of rest and replenishment, it would be difficult for the strengthening regiment to continue to fight such a fierce battle with the alien insects.

At present, the reinforcement regiment evacuated from SiCheong Town is only about half of the troops that had just arrived at Pune. Although the fighting spirit is still strong, all conditions are almost unable to support the high-intensity combat of the entire reinforcement regiment. Perhaps, the contingent's evacuation order did not take into account the millions of innocent refugees, but it cannot be said to be completely wrong. Perhaps, in the eyes of the senior management of the war zone headquarters, an elite army with high training and long-standing battles is far more important than millions of unarmed ordinary people.

"Battery Commander, look down." Just when Zhao Jiakun was a little dazed, the platoon leader Jiang Datou shouted, interrupting his thoughts. Zhao Jiakun and others, who heard the movement, hurriedly got up and looked down through the porthole. They saw that there was smoke and dust rolling on a hillside swept under the transport plane. It was vaguely visible that a group of humans were being chased by a small army of alien insects.

"Someone below, hurry up, notify the pilot to land." Seeing this, Zhao Jiakun suggested loudly to Hou Daming beside him without thinking. In his opinion, Hou Daming, who is also a soldier, would definitely agree to his suggestions for saving people without hesitation when he saw these civilians hunted by alien insects.

"No." However, what Zhao Jiakun did not expect was that Hou Daming glanced at a time monitor at the top of the transport cabin, and hesitated and denied his suggestion: "There is not much time left, and if we are delayed, we may not even be able to board the evacuated space warship."

"What a mess, old Hou, do you have the heart to watch those civilians being torn to pieces by dog-dance alien insects?" Zhao Jiakun was stunned when he heard this, and then reacted, not caring about resolving his past grudges with Hou Daming just now, staring at the bull's eyes and questioning sternly.

"There are dozens of heads waiting to go home to see relatives. I have to take responsibility for them." Although Hou Daming was not angry, he also said coldly.

"You." The reason that Hou Daming made Zhao Jiakun didn't know how to refute for a moment. However, he immediately moved his heart and changed his words and said to Hou Daming: "Well, since Captain Hou didn't have the courage to take risks to save people, then I can go by myself."

"I didn't say anything, I, Datou, firmly supported the battalion commander's decision." As soon as Zhao Jiakun finished speaking, Jiang Datou, who was beside him, said loudly, and glanced at Hou Daming inadvertently from the corner of his eyes, with a look of contempt.

"I'll go too, I don't want to bear the infamy of not saving you." Staff Officer Li also followed with a smile.

"And I." "I'm also my one."...

For a moment, the echoing sounds in the cabin were heard, but most of them were officers and soldiers of the first battalion, and of course several subordinates of Hou Daming were mixed in and shaking flags to cheer.

"A bunch of idiots, do you know that once you go down to save people, you may lose the opportunity to evacuate if you waste time. Do you want to be buried with those refugees on this ghost planet together?" Hou Daming refused coldly, "No, I am the leader of the regiment. Without my orders, no one is allowed to go down to save people."

Because Hou Daming was seriously injured, he could only lean against his seat when he spoke, with a gloomy and pale old face, looking very unhappy.

"Hou Daming." Hou Daming's remarks made Zhao Jiakun's face turn blue and red. The next moment, a stream of passion suddenly surged into his brain. Zhao Jiakun suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Hou Daming's neck, took out the gun with his right hand, pointed at Hou Daming's temple and shouted suddenly: "Ask him to turn around quickly. If you don't go to save people, don't stop me, otherwise don't blame me for not having eyes."

"Zhao Jiakun, do you want to rebel?" Perhaps Zhao Jiakun was moving too fast, and the subordinates next to Hou Daming didn't even have time to react, they watched the seriously injured regiment commander pressed his gun against his head by Zhao Jiakun. The second lieutenant staff officer who had been following Hou Daming had a sharp change in his face. He stood up and pointed at Zhao Jiakun and shouted loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Marines directly under Hou Daming in the cabin behind him stood up almost reflexively, raised their weapons in their hands and looked at Zhao Jiakun and others. The officers and soldiers of Zhao Jiakun's battalion were naturally not to be outdone, and they also raised their guns in one go.

"Don't move, don't want to die, let me put down my weapon." Platoon leader Jiang Datou's actions were even more exaggerated. He actually took out a few high-explosive grenades, knocked them off, held them high in the air, and was about to detonate. The power of these high-explosive grenades explosions should not be underestimated. Not to mention whether everyone in the cabin can survive. Even this transport plane alone cannot withstand the bombing of cluster grenades. Once it explodes, there is absolutely only one result, that is, the plane is destroyed and the people are killed.

Hou Daming's men naturally did not expect that there was such a desperate person in Zhao Jiakun's battalion who was not afraid of death. He was shocked and slightly disturbed for a moment. Even the second lieutenant staff officer twitched at the corner of his mouth, not knowing how to deal with this extremely dangerous situation.

"Okay, if he wants to do something, he has to listen to me first." Seeing that the two sides were tense and were fighting desperately, Hou Daming, who was "hijacked" by Zhao Jiakun, said calmly.

"Hmph." Zhao Jiakun, who had recovered from his energy, his anger slightly retreated. He then snorted coldly and put away his gun in disappointment.

"Old Zhao, you want to save people, I won't stop you, but let's talk about ugly things ahead. Since you don't want to listen to my old brother's advice, then no matter what the consequences occur, you can only bear it yourself. Also, once you go down, I will not order you to wait for you. Besides you, there are dozens of other people here. I said, I have to be responsible for their families." The next moment, Hou Daming tightly covered the wound bandage on his chest with one hand, struggled to support himself, and said seriously almost word by word: "Think about these brothers who follow you, you must think carefully before making a decision."

The reason Hou Daming stated again was quite convincing, which made Zhao Jiakun, who had calmed down, hesitated and subconsciously looked back at the battalion of officers and soldiers behind him.

"Boss, don't listen to him nonsense. No matter where you go, I will follow you." The platoon leader Jiang Datou said loudly with his chest.

"Battery Commander, so do I. The brothers have passed so many gates of hell together, and it's not a bad time." Staff Officer Li said with a smile.

"Staff Officer Li is right. Battalion Commander, just give the order, brothers will follow you."

"Yes, even if we are in the sea of ​​swords and fire, we won't say a word, battalion commander."

Hou Daming did not expect that his words did not scare Zhao Jiakun's subordinates. Instead, these officers and soldiers of the first battalion took a look of righteousness. As they shouted loudly, Hou Daming's subordinates also became vaguely commotion.

"Okay, brothers, let's go into it together. Even if you reach the underworld, you are still good brothers of my old Zhao." Zhao Jiakun's mind was stirred, and a warm liquid oozed out of his eyes. He nodded and said loudly to Jiang Datou and others, then turned around and quietly looked at Hou Daming with a pale face.

"Oh..." After a moment of silence, Hou Daming shook his head and sighed.
