With Hayes' kind help, the militias on the positions on both wings were quickly withdrawn from the battle. Not long after they evacuated, the Tyronworm swarm broke through the fire and crossed the already riddled defense line. But then the fierce artillery fire began to cover the fire, and most of the fire were fired. The Tyron creatures that had just passed the fire went through the second round immediately. At the same time, the wing aircraft began to spread various types of mines in the rear, especially petal thunder. Although this small mine could not kill creatures larger than the knifeworm, it could deal with the tiny Tyron creatures such as the gunworm and knifeworm tearing insect.
In addition, the armored troops began to gather in the area between the first and second lines of defense. Soon they would form a counterattack, giving priority to the elimination of Tyron's large creatures and providing time for the second-line deployment.
The soldiers evacuated from the defense line began to gather in the second defense line area. Although there were already defense facilities, it took time to arrange fire points, place injured people, and replenish ammunition and weapons. Hayes had been busy for more than an hour before he could finish it. After the war, 11 people died in the company, 6 seriously injured, and 23 people were slightly injured. Since Tyron's body fluids were mostly poisonous and strong acid, the treatment of the wounded was also quite troublesome, and they basically needed to be transferred to the hospital in the rear for treatment.
After finishing all these things, Hayes had to report to the regiment headquarters and apply for ammunition. After all, the company commander had to do many things at the company level. Only when he reached the regiment level would there be a staff officer to assist the chief officer in handling these matters. The matter of his confrontation with the flesh-torn person to save the militia regiment has spread. Some people began to jokingly call him "Good Man Hayes". He didn't think this was a bad thing.
After everything was done, Hays realized that he was hungry and thirsty. He had not eaten for ten hours, and had not even had a few sips of water. When he was about to return to the company to rest for a while, he received an invitation from the militia regiment. Although he did not want to have too much connection with these local troops, the person who came to pass the message was Parru's eldest son, who was very sincere in his words. After Hays thought for a while, he told the other party that he would go to the company to say hello first.
After returning to the company and explaining something to Xiao Fatton and others, Hayes came to the camp of the militia regiment. When passing by the militia camp, Hayes saw that they were also having a meal. However, each militia received only a piece of scones with 200 grams of weight and a bowl of clear soup with many impurities. The soup was just a few green plants with unknown names. In contrast, each soldier of the Hayes company had 1 kg of pure grain scones per day. The food was served with canned meat and various beans, and a small amount of fresh fruits and vegetables. Except for the canned part, these grains were all local crops.
After coming to the largest tent in the militia, Hayes saw that both regiment commanders were here, except Parru and Benik. There was a table in the tent with several large metal bowls covered with them.
"Sir Hayes, please sit down and help the chief hang his hat and weapon aside..."
Parru's son took Hayes' hat and sword attentively and hung it on the shelf beside him. Hes smiled at Parru and said:
"You are too polite."
"Oh, if it weren't for you, those thousands of us, I'm afraid we have become cannon fodder now. You sit, you sit."
While greeting Hayes to sit down, Parru opened the lids of the metal bowls, and a fragrance suddenly spread.
When Hayes saw that one bowl had a large piece of roasted meat, and the rib part was also part of the ribs, and the other bowl had fried wings and legs. This animal, Hayes, knew that it was a local specialty called Kente Chicken. It has four legs and six pairs of wings, and it actually didn't have much meat in the body. The meat was mainly concentrated on the wings and legs. Fried finger-sucking Kente Chicken is also the most famous local specialty food. There was also a bowl with exquisite small cakes the size of a palm, which looked white and porous, and it looked very delicate at first glance. One of the other two bowls contained a soup stewed with Kente Chicken sternum mixed with vegetables, and the other was filled with fresh fruits that were red and white and covered with water droplets.
This meal is not unpleasant or even luxurious when it comes to this meal.
After the war warning was issued, the entire war zone immediately implemented the rationing system. The mechanical sages carefully calculated the "most reasonable" food quota. Militia, administrative personnel or other management teams, each with 400 grams per day, workers or other production personnel, and logistics personnel serving the military, each with 250 grams per day, children or other low-laborers only 125 grams, and "worthless" personnel such as disabled people, seriously ill patients, etc., there are no "fill materials" at all. In addition, the quota food also contains a considerable number of "fillers", that is, wood chips and weeds. Any act of privately hiding food will be regarded as a crime, either becoming a slaughter of the Mechanical Cultivate and thrown on the battlefield, or becoming a member of the "punishment battalion" to fill the gaps on the front line.
Of course, there are always loopholes in the rules. For example, militias, because they are military organizations but a considerable part of the logistics needs to be responsible for themselves, officers can hoard materials in the name of "military supplies". Therefore, as long as people with a little strength in the local area will try their best to get a position in the militia regiment or simply pull up a team like the big landlord Parru.
Sometimes I have to go to the division headquarters to do business, and Hayes occasionally passes through the city. The originally noisy and bustling cities are now the most common ones, now the corpses and beggars. Some people starve to death or commit suicide in despair, while others are hung on street lights for crimes or spreading failed ideas. Since the baojia system has been laid out in the war zone, even any inappropriate remarks between neighbors may cause death. Therefore, the atmosphere in the city is not only depressed, but also very depressing, but the most terrifying thing is hunger...
Even with the most harsh system and laws, crazy hunger still led to some tragedies. For example, Hayes once heard that a parent ate all their four children. It was not until the neighbor found the finger bones in their trash can that the tragedy was revealed, and the two men eventually turned into rotten corpses in the hanging cage.
So looking at the table of rich meat, Hayes was gurgling with hunger, but he shook his head and sighed:
"Captain Parru, in wartime state... it's too much."
"It's all home-cooked side dishes, cooked by my wife himself, just to thank you for your life-saving grace."
Benik, who was standing beside him, also smiled and picked up a black wine bottle and said:
"You have good command and kind-heartedness. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have had the chance to leave. Many groups were thrown directly at the forefront and called Tiantian not to respond. This is the wine that our family has treasured for more than two hundred years, so I deliberately used it to thank you."
Hayes sighed, sat on the chair, and waved his hand.
