Girls Frontline: Griffin Security

"how so.....?"

Xu Bin looked at the broken mountains and rivers before him with a dazed expression. He opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word.

At this moment, there is not even a complete house on the other side of the river. The ruins are surrounded by dense shell craters. His compatriots can only live in tents on the open ground.

Seeing that the battle was over, several old ladies hurried out of the tents in the rear... holding their few eggs and vegetables and trying to stuff them into the hands of the field army soldiers.

Instead of accepting the food, the soldiers took out a small amount of compressed biscuits from the car and put them into the old ladies' pockets. Then they locked the car door and went to work beside the commander.

"Commander, are you okay?"

UMP40's voice came from the intercom:

"The guy who fought with you in the garment factory just now is here too. He said he wants to see you. Can you let him up?"

"Well... sure, let him come up."

Only then did Xu Bin pull his consciousness back to reality and wipe away his tears with his sleeves.

Not long after, Yang Hao climbed up the hill with big strides:

"Xu Bin, what's the situation now?"

"The enemy has been annihilated... The field army is collecting their bodies..."

Xu Bin pointed to the other side of the river with a dazed expression, and then forgot to put down his hand...he remained in this dazed posture.

After taking a look at the other person's expression, Yang Hao quickly understood what his old friend was thinking.

So he reached out and patted the other person's shoulder and said:

"To be honest, during the war a few years ago, I guarded you at the Armed Forces Department for several days."

"I'm looking forward to you suddenly returning home and showing up there, and then I'll scare you from behind... Then we'll sign up for the army together and go to the same unit..."

"As a result, I didn't see you until the war situation worsened, so I secretly broke up with you and signed up on my own..."

After saying that, Yang Hao smiled awkwardly.

Seeing his old friend's smile, Xu Bin felt so guilty that he couldn't help himself... During those years, he also wanted to return to China to join the army, but he failed several times due to his uncle's obstruction.

While others were fighting desperately on the battlefield, he could only be an idle street dweller. This strong contrast had long ago made him miserable and inhuman...

So Xu Bin looked at his old friend with an apologetic look, then lowered his head:

"I'm sorry... I couldn't get back when you needed me the most..."

"Living like a useless person in an island city, putting on a smiling face all day long to go out for drinks with friends... or running to a nearby shopping mall to meet a girl..."

When Xu Bin inadvertently mentioned the girl he would never see again, his heart ached again.

At this moment, a big hand suddenly patted his shoulder fiercely:

"Don't say that"

"You know, when I was surrounded by enemies on the battlefield for the first time... two very contradictory thoughts appeared in my mind."

"I hate you, but why didn't you come back to defend the country like you swore when we were kids..."

"At the same time, I feel lucky for you. It's great that you don't have to die in such a tragic war."

As they were talking, before Xu Bin, the crybaby, had even started crying, the leader of the children, Yang Hao, started crying first... He looked towards his motherland on the other side of the Yalu River, wiped his nose and said:

"When I met you at the garment factory, I really thought you had defected to the enemy! For a moment I even forgot how to pull the trigger..."

"I am really happy to see that you have not betrayed your hometown, but are protecting it secretly..."

"You are still my friend, that's great...! I am finally not the only one left in our village's 'Space Guard'...Xu Bin..."

...?

What do you mean?

His pupils suddenly dilated, and Xu Bin turned around and asked Yang Hao:

"What do you mean... you're the only one left?"

"How are the others doing lately? Have you found a job?"

"Did Yang Erwa become a policeman...? Did Wei Pangpang become a chef...? Xiao Feifei also became a swordsman, right?"

"Speak up! There are more than a dozen of us in the 'Space Guard'. How are they doing recently?"

Xu Bin shook Yang Hao's shoulder and waited for his answer.

The latter suddenly stopped crying, wiped his eyes, took two deep breaths, then turned around and said:

"I'll tell you about these things later. I don't have much time to stay here now."

"You can't return to your country now, right? How long will it take to wait in the consulate's review line?"

Xu Bin raised his head, thought for a moment and said:

“Maybe next summer.”

"Okay, I'll help you solve it as soon as possible!"

Yang Hao took out a business card from his pocket, handed it to Xu Bin and said:

"Here is my contact information. Remember to call me when you are safe. I will ask my old comrade to help you complete the procedure as soon as possible."

"I'm leaving, Xu Bin. See you later!"

Yang Hao waved to his old friend and then walked down the hillside.

Xu Bin picked up the business card in his hand and took a look. Although the font on it was plain, it could not hide the impact of its content:

Sunshine International Military Company———Yang Hao (Founder)

...

“Breeder——!”

MP7's shout at the bottom of the mountain brought Xu Bin back to consciousness:

"If we don't leave now, the Peninsular Army will capture us and eat kimchi!"

"Okay! I'll be right down!"

After responding to the humanoids at the foot of the mountain, Xu Bin turned around and took one last look in the direction of his hometown:

"I will be back...definitely!"

After saying that, he walked down the hillside.

The Third World War—Eastern Asia (Part 3):

Due to the failure of Operation Blitzkrieg, the Axis offensive in its northern neighbor was also hampered.

The field army immediately decided to send troops to the Peninsula to fight: on the one hand, facing south, assisting the local military and civilians in resisting the offensive of the Eagle Federation; on the other hand, facing north, crossing the river from time to time to attack the logistics hub of the Sand Federation.

With the hard work of the soldiers and civilians of the two countries, the Axis Powers finally began to show signs of defeat...

In the spring of 2056, the "Shanhe-A" operation officially began. The main force of the field army successfully broke through Shanhaiguan and recaptured the so-called "Dariniksk" and "Fengtiantsk" in the autumn of that year.

At the same time, the Peninsula Army also sounded the clarion call for a counterattack. They successfully tore a hole in the "Gimpo-ri-Cheolcheon" defense line and quickly penetrated deep into the enemy's rear, and soon forced the Eagle Federation Army to the area of ​​​​Seoul and Insan. The latter entered a defensive posture and did not retreat until the following year.

This major counterattack was launched by the two countries at almost the same time, which completely changed the situation in the northeast of the Asian continent and was regarded by other members of the Allied Powers as a model of cooperation and mutual trust. The allied forces in the European continent were also encouraged by this, and while strengthening mutual trust, they entered the strategic counterattack stage.
