Gao Yuan was riding a bicycle. It was a very good mountain bike, worth tens of thousands of dollars, because naturally he would receive preferential treatment.

Xinghe also rode a bicycle. She was running in front of Gao Yuan for a while, and then she slammed the brakes and fell behind. She was very happy.

There are more than 5,000 people in the entire expeditionary force. There are four people riding bicycles without dragging a cart behind. One is the commander-in-chief Liu Muyang, one is Xinghe, and the other two are Ouchi experts who are responsible for personal protection of Xinghe.

Xinghe rode a bicycle and came to Gao Yuan's side. She said proudly: "How is it? I ride well, you know. I have been practicing how to ride a bicycle in the base these days. How is it? I ride very well."

Is it right?"

"It's pretty good."

"Watch me make a fool of myself."

Xinghe took both hands off the handlebars, and she looked very proud.

When Xinghe was riding her bike on the highway like a carefree couple, the two Ouchi masters could always keep a distance of about 20 meters from her, one after the other, neither getting too close nor getting too close.

keep away.

A master is a master, and Gao Yuan was very curious about how the two of them maintained such coordination with Xinghe.

Currently, two squadrons of the Sword Special Forces Brigade are responsible for protecting Xinghe. However, in addition to having so many special forces members dedicated to protecting her, eight more people are assigned to protect her. This is because the duty of the special forces is to attack, and these eight people are specialized in protecting her.

Responsible for protection.

The motorcade is traveling on the Taihang Mountain Expressway.

The Taihang Mountain Expressway runs along the Taihang Mountain from north to south. Gao Yuan and the others started from Base No. 10 and only had to travel about eight kilometers through a small road to get onto the expressway. The exit they left was at least 10 kilometers away from the exit where Gao Yuan set off to Jicheng twice.

More than a hundred kilometers.

Why not take the exit of Base 1 instead of Base 10, which is further south? Because it is close to the Taihang Mountain Expressway and has a relatively sparse population. Also, once the Orochi discover that a large number of people appear from the mountains, at least they can get away.

The core base No. 1 is a little further away.

Generally speaking, this is a long march, a long march of at least tens of thousands of kilometers, and the main means of transportation for the entire expeditionary force is bicycles.

It was obviously impossible for a team of 5,000 people to gather together and march together. In order not to attract too much attention from the Orochi people, these 5,000 people could only be divided into scattered teams and marched slowly along the highway.

There are about a hundred people in a team. The teams responsible for fighting are closely spaced, while the teams without combat missions are spaced wider. As a result, the team of 5,000 people stretches to nearly 30 kilometers.

Thirty kilometers long, think about the concept of this, that is, Gao Yuan and the others have been riding on the highway for a long time, but the troops behind them have not set off yet.

Do not take national highways or provincial highways, because these roads pass through too many towns and villages, and fully closed highways are obviously much safer.

However, riding such a long distance cannot be accomplished overnight. It can only be done one stop at a time. It is estimated that it is walking dozens of kilometers every day, because under the current conditions, it is not possible to just ride all the way, and there needs to be someone in front of you.

When exploring the road, you need to fight when encountering danger, so the speed cannot be too fast.

The most troublesome thing is that although everyone in the expeditionary force carries a gun, there are not many opportunities to shoot. Therefore, in most cases, the troops responsible for opening the road ahead can only fight with cold weapons and clear obstacles.

.

Therefore, the dangers of this expedition are obvious, and no one is invincible. Along the way, we have to replenish supplies, rest, and accommodation. Every link of this means that problems may arise.

The expeditionary force of 5,000 people will inevitably suffer attrition from battles and injuries along the way, and there will definitely be attrition. The only question is how many casualties there will be.

Therefore, when they actually arrive in Africa, it is impossible to estimate how many of the five thousand troops will be left. The most optimistic estimate is that half of them will arrive, and the most pessimistic estimate is that the entire army will be wiped out and not a single one will be left.

Because the conditions are so bad, they can't get any worse.

Why do you say this? Because even in ancient times, when a war was fought, an army of tens of thousands was sent out, and hundreds of thousands of people were needed to take care of the logistics. Even if the ancient army had to travel thousands of miles on their own feet, at least they did not have to

Worry about food.

Even if you go deep into the enemy's country, you can still provide food to the enemy, that is, steal food from the enemy.

But now, it is a catastrophe of doomsday level. There is no reliable supply in China. Let alone supplies in foreign countries. Who is willing to give his life-saving rations to a foreign army? Not to mention the purpose of this foreign army.

How noble is it to save mankind? How many people can be so selfless in the face of survival and willing to give their own food for survival to others? Even if these people are to save them.

Impossible, never possible, human nature is always selfish.

So there are some things that cannot be said, but the difficulties are real, and these difficulties are still insurmountable.

Therefore, the future fate of this army is determined from the moment it sets out. Most people in this army will die, or even the vast majority of people will die.

Anyone with some common sense knows the fate of this expeditionary force. The higher-ups know it, and of course the soldiers of the expeditionary force also know it.

However, the army was still organized and set off on time.

Shenzhou showed its old foundation and never looked back, because this battle determined the fate of the country and even the fate of mankind.

The soldiers of the expeditionary force did not flinch. They knew what would happen, not what was possible, but what would definitely happen, but they still came. If sacrifice was inevitable, then just sacrifice it, just because they were soldiers.

The military orders were strong and the blood was still there, so China sent an expeditionary force.

That's why China can send an expeditionary force.

One thing needs to be clarified. Under the current conditions, it is possible to send out a fully-organized, large-scale, elite force. Do you really think that anyone can do it?

If you look at other countries, even if there is a soldier who is still passionate and willing to sacrifice his life to fight against aliens, do you really think that every country has the execution ability of China?

But now, China has sent an expeditionary force. In an extremely unfavorable environment, is it to retain its remaining strength for self-preservation and to protect the survival of these last people? Or is it to fight to the death and use the last foundation to fight for a future?

China chose the latter.

Therefore, this is an expeditionary force that is destined to have no retreat, and an expeditionary force that has no retreat and is destined to sacrifice the vast majority of its people has no tragedy, only strong ambitions and great pride.
