After Ning Zhe led his troops to the border, the two battalions merged together, and then began to deploy defenses. At the same time, they began to lay minefields in the desert.

The guards selected by Grizzly Bear for Ning Zhe are all elites of the Bear Gang who are proficient in various skills, and they are all Grizzly Bear's cronies. The Bear Gang is one of the earliest gangs to submit to Ning Zhe, and among the Starlight Armed Forces, it is also the real leader.

The direct line troops have very high loyalty, which is far beyond the comparison of those gangs who surrendered later.

After the group of twelve people had assembled, they took three off-road vehicles, entered the Xinge Desert, and began to head east in the direction of the bandit team.

When Lin Bao discovered that the gang had entered the Xinge Desert, Hu Yihan asked him to send people to keep an eye on the team's movements, which also allowed Ning Zhe to grasp the opponent's coordinate points in real time and make adjustments to the team.

…

In the Kujiao Canyon, Hu Yihan received the news that Ning Zhe had set off, and quickly called Liu Ping and Lin Xun to the headquarters and started chatting with them.

"I just received intelligence that the vanguard of the gang has penetrated deep into the Xinge Desert and has traveled about one-third of the distance. It is expected that they will exchange fire with our team at the border tonight! Until now, our side has been fighting

If there is a situation with the gang, the other party will definitely launch an investigation on us."

Hu Yihan paused, looked at Liu Ping and said: "I have issued an order for our convoy to prepare to withdraw from the Kujiao Canyon and move towards the Xinge Desert. We have limited manpower and cannot provide personnel support.

You can only throw smoke bombs at them to confuse their sight.

You are responsible for leading the convoy to the Xinge Desert, widening the distance between the teams, making more noise, and giving the other party the illusion that we are going to support the left wing! When passing through the Black Dragon Pass on the way back, be sure to be careful of those bats

Attack! Avoid unnecessary casualties!"

"Don't worry! With my experience here, I know how to deal with those monsters!" Liu Ping nodded heavily: "I will first use flares to disperse the bats, and then use communication equipment to interfere with them and try to pass them in the shortest possible time!"

"Time is tight. We must confuse the other party before they reach the middle of the march. You should set off immediately!" Hu Yihan dismissed Liu Ping and continued to say to Lin Xun: "You said before that you can control the insect tide in Ten Thousand Buddhas Cave and Snake Valley."

Attracting the group of snakes, this plan can be launched, but the difficulty now is that we are fighting with the gangs. If you set off, you are likely to rush into the enemy's formation!

Before you were besieged by bandits, we could still rescue you, but now our troops are all used to defend the defense line. The dike in front is our only advantage. Once we send troops out, the situation will be completely chaotic, so if you

If something goes wrong, we won't be able to rescue you. In this case, can you still do this?"

"It's difficult, but it's not impossible to try! But I can only choose one side. I suggest attracting the insect tide from the north." Lin Xun knew that the war was tense now. Since Hu Yihan was in this situation, he would still tell him about it.

Having already explained the importance of it, he thought for a moment and responded: "The Kujiao Canyon is narrow, with cliffs on both sides, but I can find a way to bypass these complex terrains and move eastward outside the Kujiao Canyon.

Then turn to the north."

"I'm afraid this will be difficult to achieve, right?" Hu Yihan frowned and shook his head after hearing Lin Xun's answer: "Before we set off, I had a chat with the guide. He said that the reason why Kujiao Canyon is one of the major transportation thoroughfares is

, because there are no other roads around here, and the terrain outside the Kujiao Canyon is steep, so the possibility of passage is almost zero."

"Try it, at least there is hope. If you don't try, I'm afraid there will be no hope." Lin Xun and Hu Yihan looked at each other: "Let me try it, if it doesn't work, I won't take the risk."

Hu Yihan took a deep breath: "Is there anything you need my help preparing?"

Lin Xun thought for a moment and then said: "Find some brave soldiers to help me find the corpses of the bandits, as well as medicine, sulfur, gunpowder, and insect repellent..."

Hu Yihan listened to Lin Xun's narration, picked up the pen and paper on the table, and began to record it quickly.

…

Half an hour later, Qu Ding, who was stationed outside the Hedong Gang, also received a call from his own spies.

On the phone, the spy spoke quickly: "Second Master, we discovered a large force of Starlight armed forces in the border area, and they are mobilizing on a large scale."

Qu Ding immediately sat up straight: "Have they made any move?"

"Yes, the troops of the Starlight Armed Forces in the Kujiao Canyon suddenly had a large-scale evacuation, and the evacuated troops were moving rapidly towards the Xinge Desert, including tanks and other vehicles." The spy paused and continued.

Said: "Their convoy is traveling very fast, and the desert outside the canyon is flat. They also have a peripheral scout team. We cannot get close, and it is difficult to determine the specific number of this team."

"The fact that they can mobilize at this time shows that someone is also watching our movements, and this large-scale troop movement is difficult to hide. Our troops appeared in the Xinge Desert, and it is difficult for them to defend themselves.

It makes sense." Qu Ding did not dwell too much on this issue and continued to ask: "I asked you to meet the gangsters we installed in the Starlight Armed Forces, have you seen them?"

"We contacted one. This unit is marching to the border area with the reinforcements of the Starlight Armed Forces. However, Starlight Company's confidentiality work is very good, and the scale of the gang we are cooperating with is too small, only the size of a company.

They don’t know any military deployment at all, and as for the strategy and scale of the Starlight Armed Forces, they have no idea at all.”

The spy responded: "As for the other two, there is no news yet. I have rushed to the agreed place, but the other party's people have not shown up yet, and in order to avoid being exposed, I dare not call them. I have not yet

I don’t know what the specific situation is, but I don’t know if they have rebelled or if it is inconvenient to contact them.”

At this moment, two of the three troops of the Hedong bandits have set off, and Qu Ding is also nervous: "You continue to wait, and at the same time keep an eye on the trends in the Hexi area. If there is any news, tell me as soon as possible."

…

After Ning Zhe and his party entered the desert, they took three off-road vehicles and began to speed through the desert area. Because the team was relatively small, the speed was much faster.

Five hours later, Grizzly glanced at the satellite terminal in his hand and turned to look at Ning Zhe: "Commander, we are only a few dozen kilometers away from the gang's large army. If we continue to move forward, we may be exposed.

In the sight of their scouts, what should we do next?"

Ning Zhe glanced at the blazing sun and said, "Although the gangsters are anxious, they probably won't march during the hottest time of the day. They will continue to move forward and find a place when the two sides are fifteen kilometers apart."
