Twelve hours is neither long nor short. But if someone tells you that there are only twelve hours left in your life, then this time is frighteningly short.

Now, although Simon will not die, after twelve hours, the position will probably be undefendable.

Simon knew very well that the twelve-hour estimate even included the time for the government troops to rest and recuperate. When it came to a frontal attack, they might not be able to sustain it for twelve hours.

This is because there are many buildings and alleys in the east and west urban areas. Street fighting limits the heavy firepower of both sides. If it were a plain confrontation, the troops of the 'New Order' would retreat faster.

There is nothing that can be done about it. How come they don't even have any heavy firepower here? In terms of actual strength on paper, they may not be able to sustain it for even five hours.

"Okay, I got it. Arrange the defense line in the city and wait for reinforcements." Simon ordered. The deployment of the defense line was prepared in advance. They had already expected it when they faced off against the government troops in Dongcheng District.

It's today.

"But... can we wait for reinforcements?" The staff officer's voice became lower and lower. He knew that saying this might disturb the morale of the army, but even he now had little confidence.

"There will be!" Simon said firmly.

The staff officer was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't know where Simon's mysterious confidence came from.

"The progress of the nearby defense lines is pretty good. Although the connecting bridge has not been repaired, there is still no problem in transporting infantry and light weapons supplies. They are looking for ways to strengthen the transportation capacity, and they will probably be able to do it soon. The infantry is the main force in street fighting.

.”

Simon saw the confused look on the staff officer's face and explained.

The staff officer nodded thoughtfully, feeling that this was indeed the case.

"Our task is not to hold the line of defense, but to share the pressure and let other brother troops find a breakthrough. If there is internal discord among the government forces, we have a chance." Simon clenched his fist hard, as if this could hold the line of defense to the ground.

It seems somewhat stable.

After Simon said this, the staff was relieved. Since there is no need to defend, the defensive battle will be much easier. If it is just a delay and a waste of vitality, the battle will be much easier.

"Then... the layout of the defense line may need to be adjusted again." After thinking for a moment, the staff officer already had an idea in mind.

Simon nodded: "Go and get it. For the dawn of the new world."

"For the dawn of a new world."

…

On the other side, the forward position.

After Long Yue led Team 141 across the separation wall, Long Yue directly selected a building. The entire team quietly walked over and moved to the door of the building.

This building is an office building on the edge of the square. It covers a large area and is relatively spacious inside. Presumably when the defense line is deployed, this building must be one of the important defensive strongholds, at least Long Yue will definitely arrange it this way.

In fact, this is indeed the case. You can see from the outside that most of the windows are sealed, and the materials are various, including sandbags, wooden boards, and even thick curtains and tape.

In the gaps between these bunkers, through the magnification effect of the tactical eyepieces, the members of Team 141 could see that there were black muzzles in the windows of the entire building, especially those sealed with sandbags.

This building is almost the core of the rebel defense system, and the defense lines of the surrounding buildings are all built with it as the core.

But Team 141, as if they didn't know this, still rushed into the office building.

But the process of getting in is not that simple. There are two bunkers made of sandbags in front of the door. Three sentries stay in this bunker with a light machine gun next to it. Next to it, something is burning in an iron barrel.

A bright fire light emitted.

The main entrance of the building is on the side facing the square. That door has been sealed by fortifications and heavy machine guns, but the back door here is obviously not so well treated. This kind of defense line is somewhat weak even when faced with a team attack.

, let alone an elite team.

Long Yue made two gestures: first he raised his index finger to his lips, then he turned his palm into a knife and gently wiped it on his neck.

The meaning is quite clear: silence, assassination.

Everyone clenched their fists in unison, pointing their fists in the direction of Long Yue, signaling that they had received the order.

Except for FAL and M99, all the muzzles on all the rifles have been replaced with suppressors. As for why they didn't change them... one has a larger caliber, and the other has a larger caliber. The larger the caliber, the lower the chamber pressure and muzzle velocity.

No, the same goes for gunshots. Even if you replace it, it won’t be of any use. You might as well just do whatever you want...

If you operate silently, you cannot make a sound. Even with a suppressor, the sound of gunfire cannot be underestimated. The only truly quiet way is to use a knife.

Seeing that everyone was ready, Long Yue turned his palm into a sword and waved forward. AK12 and SCAR left the team at the same time and ran towards the door of the building.

The route SCAR chose was rather sophisticated. She traveled from a relatively dark corner, passing through a row of roadblocks and broken-down cars, making a small circle and reaching the side of the fortification.

One of the soldiers was sitting against a sandbag, which seemed to bring him a sense of security, but he did not notice at all that behind this sense of security, there was a chilling murderous aura.

SCAR took out the dagger from his right thigh, suddenly reached forward with his left hand, and covered the soldier's mouth and nose. Before he could react, he held the dagger in his right hand and stabbed into his neck, stirring slightly from side to side.

, made a large enough incision, and cut off the carotid artery.

The soldier felt a coldness stabbing into his neck, and then a hot current spurted out, taking away all his strength. Finally, his vision went dark and he lost consciousness.

Compared to the silent assassination on the SCAR side, the movement on the AK12 side is much louder.

She did not choose a hidden route like SCAR, but lowered her figure, and like a sharp arrow, she rushed out almost close to the ground, and pierced straight into a soldier standing on the other side of the bunker.

Although the operation of the X06 exoskeleton is silent, the sound of fast running is objective and cannot be covered up.

At least under the unreserved sprint of the AK12, it is absolutely impossible to hide it.

Of course, the soldiers standing guard over there also noticed something was wrong and shifted their gaze.

But the black combat uniform worn by AK12 became the best cover in this environment. The soldier didn't even see her clearly at first glance. He only saw a black shadow, a fast-moving black shadow.

And in just this moment of confusion, AK12 had already rushed in front of him, and its cold eyes were already looking at him at an extremely close distance.

Just one glance revealed that the soldier had become cold from head to toe, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
