Chapter 817

Watching the small black dots drawing ever closer, countless Dragon Nation soldiers gritted their teeth, their eyes filled with resolve.

When this scene unfolded, everyone understood in an instant.

The Dragon Nation's J-40 formation had failed!

The imagined collapse into tears did not occur, and the imagined chaos of the entire army likewise did not happen.

The Dragon Nation's soldiers were terrifyingly quiet.

It was only their eye sockets that had turned somewhat red...

The next second.

Lieutenant Colonel Lu Yao, the commander-in-chief of the China's forces stationed in the Cangnan region, raised a megaphone and shouted loudly.

"All personnel of the China's Cangnan Defense Zone, attention!"

"Present!"

Even at a time like this, the Dragon Nation's soldiers maintained a level of discipline that no other military on the entire Blue Star could imagine!

"Missiles are about to fall, and there are no bunkers within the station!"

"Now! Begin forming a human bunker! All units, take note!"

"Soldiers wearing battle armor, step forward!"

"Yes!"

The next second, within the ranks, soldiers clad in crimson battle armor stepped out in perfect unison.

"Those in battle armor, take the outermost layer! No matter what happens, swear not to retreat!"

"Understood!"

The armored soldiers roared in reply.

Lu Yao did not hesitate and continued to bellow.

"Remaining soldiers, ignore rank and seniority, arrange yourselves by age! The older ones on the outside, the younger ones on the inside! Form a defensive formation!"

"Move immediately!!!"

Once the order was issued.

Every Dragon Nation soldier, everyone in the outer layers, not a single person raised the slightest objection to this order.

In truth, the Dragon Nation's soldiers were not fools.

They knew better than anyone that among these sky-filling missiles, it was highly likely that mushroom bombs were present...

Once the missiles landed, the soldiers on the outermost layer would certainly bear the brunt of it and be instantly swallowed by the terrifying flames!

The closer one was to the center of the formation, the safer one would be, relatively speaking, due to the obstruction of the human wall!

If it were the military of any other nation, they would likely have already broken their heads fighting for the position at the very center by now.

But, in the Dragon Nation.

Those who should live, those who chose to die without looking back.

The officers of the Dragon Nation's military were about to provide the answer with their own lives.

If the soldiers wearing battle armor had hidden at a time like this, relying on the sturdiness of their armor, they would absolutely have had a high chance of surviving.

However, not a single Dragon Nation soldier was a coward!

All the soldiers wearing battle armor obeyed Lu Yao's command.

One after another, they formed a large circle!

Enclosing all the ordinary people in the very center.

Like a crimson Great Wall, they gazed forward with determined eyes.

Heads held high, chests puffed out!

In their hearts, rather than living in ignominy and regretting the rest of their lives!

It was better to sacrifice gloriously right here for the comrades behind them!

To die on the battlefield!

Is a soldier's honor!

To obey orders!

Is a soldier's duty!

Even if it means spilling one's brains and blood, even if it means giving one's life!

We have no complaints, no regrets!

As the soldiers on the outermost layer stood firm, one ordinary person after another also straightened their bodies.

Slowly walking toward the outer layer.

"Squad leader... Squad leader! Don't go! You should stay closer to the inside... Don't go!"

"If you don't go, no one will notice..."

The squad leader who was being held back looked at his soldier and smiled brightly: "It's you again, kid, trying to disobey military orders, right! Get back inside! If you survive, live enough for my life too!"

"Political commissar... you... you can't go! Your family, your daughter is still waiting for you..."

"That's right! Commissar! How... how can you go to your death..."

The young soldiers were teary-eyed.

In the past, they were scared to death whenever they saw these officers.

But now, they finally understood!

So, these people were actually willing to risk their lives for them...

"If everyone else is going, why can't I?"

The commissar laughed, and as he laughed, crystalline tears sparkled in his eyes.

He wiped away his tears.

"Damn it! This godforsaken place, the sandstorm is really strong!"

"This is a photo of my Nannan." He took a photo the size of half a palm from his chest, looking at it again and again, as if he wanted to carve the little girl in the photo into his mind.

The commissar finally let out a long sigh and said: "You must take good care of my Nannan for me; this girl has lost her father, and if she suffers even the slightest grievance, I will never let you off from the underworld!"

After speaking, the commissar turned around and walked toward the outer perimeter without looking back!

Lu Yao looked at the scene before him, silently taking off the shoulder boards from his coat, and then took out that gleaming military merit medal from his pocket.

Lu Yao smiled.

He tucked the shoulder boards and the merit medal into the innermost pocket of his coat.

Then he took off his felt hat, walked straight and upright to the position closest to the outer armored soldiers, and stood firm like a wall!

In fact, everyone knew in their hearts.

The position these Dragon Nation officers were standing in.

Although it was not the most dangerous, it was absolutely the one with the highest mortality rate!

The outer soldiers had the protection of battle armor!

The inner soldiers had the shelter of the human wall.

But what about these military officers?

They could only use their own flesh and blood to withstand the scorching flames!

At this moment, the soldiers were already crying uncontrollably.

In this world, many people think that Dragon Nation people are stubborn, rigid, and inflexible!

They just don't understand.

In the hearts of Dragon Nation people, there are some things that simply cannot be abandoned.

This thing is called responsibility!

It is called faith!

Dragon Nation people do not believe in gods, but that does not mean Dragon Nation people have no faith! The faith of Dragon Nation people is themselves!

It is their bloodline, it is their heritage!

It is their ancestors of ten thousand generations, and it is also their descendants!

It is precisely this spirit of passing the torch.

That allows the Dragon Nation to wade through the deepest suffering in this world and become increasingly vibrant!

The next second, Lu Yao's roar resounded through the clouds. ===== CHAPTER 819 =====
