It was dark at night, and the street lights on the roadside were already on.

On the streets outside the cross-river bridge in Xicheng District, as the radio played in a loop, residents living near the river began to evacuate in panic towards the distance. Traffic was rolling on the main road, and the connected car lights looked like a long queue.

"Squeak!"

After several military vehicles parked in the open space at the head of the bridge, the grassroots officers began to wave continuously: "Get off the vehicle! Form up and assemble!"

"Load the bullets! Get ready for battle!"

"Reconnaissance squad! Get on the bridge!"

"Artillery company, find a position and prepare to provide fire cover!"

"Smoke truck! Where is the smoke truck?"

"Swimming troops! Inflatable rubber boats!"

"Lights out!"

"...!"

For a time, shouts and shouts could be heard in the open space at the head of the bridge, all the military vehicles on the street turned off their lights, and countless figures began to get busy in the falling night.

Five minutes later, the soldiers of the reconnaissance squad who were the first to complete preparations had already walked onto the bridge and began to slowly move forward on the bridge with the help of the cover of their ghillie suits, preparing for reconnaissance and explosive demolition missions.

Two kilometers away from the bridge, Kang Wannian's command post tent has been propped up again, and the picture transmitted back through the wired probe from the front is also played on the big screen.

Kang Wannian was looking intently at the image on the big screen in front of him. He had a lit cigarette in his hand, and the ash had been burning for a long time.

As the report of the reconnaissance team on the bridge came from the intercom on one side, Kang Wannian moved his body, and the long cigarette ash broke: "The situation is not right, it is too quiet on this bridge! We have someone here

What deployment?”

The combat staff officer at the edge of the sand table straightened his chest and responded: "The reconnaissance team went up to the bridge first to confirm the condition of the bridge. The Pioneer Battalion has made preparations for the attack. Once it is confirmed that the bridge is ready for movement, it will launch an all-out attack from the bridge to contain it.

After the main force of the rebels was removed, the swimming troops crossed the river concealed under the bridge, and small groups of elite troops were used to harass the enemy's rear, creating favorable conditions for the general offensive."

Kang Wannian shook his head solemnly: "It's too simple, this tactic is too simple! What about the logistics and artillery support?"

The combat staff officer also showed an unoptimistic look: "Commander, we mobilized troops to non-security areas before. Our original intention was to go out of the city to suppress bandits, so we brought equipment suitable for fighting in outer cities and desert areas. We did not equip heavy firepower at all.

How much, so the artillery support that can be provided is very limited. There is only one artillery battalion, one Spitfire battalion, four missile vehicles and twelve ultra-short-range missiles! At present, we have split the artillery battalion into three reinforcements

The company was sent to three cross-river bridges in the west, south and east to provide support."

Kang Wannian threw away the cigarette butt: "Where is the Beicheng District Bridge?"

"Our superior strength is only enough to form three frontal battlefields. Beicheng District is equipped with a fire-breathing barracks, so we can only use the numerical advantage to break through." The chief of staff interjected: "This is my decision."

Kang Wannian continued to ask: "Where are the armored troops? How many did we bring out?"

"Thirty people!" the chief of staff explained: "Fortress No. 87 has a total of fifty-five sets of full-cover exoskeleton armor. Some of them were damaged when the revolutionary army attacked the border station. The remaining ones are in

I have mobilized all the armored troops from the headquarters and military police department, and they are currently distributed around our tent to protect your safety!"

Kang Wannian stood up and walked to the edge of the sand table, looked at the terrain of the fortress, pointed to the widest part of the moat and said: "No! Don't let them stay here, send all these armored soldiers to the frontal battlefield!

Let them avoid the bridge across the river and swim across the river from this location! The river is the widest here, and the other side will not expect anyone to break through from here!"

The chief of staff advised: "Division commander, these soldiers are our most elite combat force! I think they should stay with you! After all, your safety is the most important!"

"You have to know that as long as we successfully regain control of the fortress, we will be the safest! In other words, do you think there will still be safety to talk about when I reach the point where I need the protection of these people?"

Kang Wannian waved his hand: "The role of armored soldiers on the frontal battlefield is far greater than you think. Letting them act as guards is a blasphemy and waste of power! Listen to me and send them out! Send the headquarters

We have found all available satellite phones and equipped them with them, and we will do our best to ensure the connection between them and the headquarters."

"Understood! I'll do it right away!"

The chief of staff agreed and walked out of the tent. Kang Wannian also turned his attention to the big screen again.

…

On the bridge across the river on the west side, ten scouts opened a skirmish line and were slowly moving towards the bridge head, using night vision equipment to inspect the load-bearing parts of the bridge.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a scout was hit by a bullet. A large hole was ripped out of his body armor, and blood spurted out several meters away.

"throat!"

About two seconds later, the sound of artillery fire came from the distance.

An experienced scout quickly hid behind a bridge pillar and shouted to his companions: "Sniper! Four hundred and fifty meters away! Hidden! Hidden!!"

"Da da da!"

Before the scouts could move, gunshots rang out again. Several members of the garrison who had just been mixed up and were hiding on the bridge began to shoot at the scouts on the bridge with their guns.

"Fight back! Fight back!"

"Bang bang!"

"Tu tu tu tu!"

"...!"

Gunfire rang out without warning, and the gunfire on the bridge flashed like fireworks.

At the Qiaoxi position, the artillery commander heard the sound of gunfire and roared loudly: "Damn it! The rebels opened fire! Howitzer position No. 1 confirmed the secret position on its own! Use the firefighting site as a mark and plow one kilometer west! Shoot quickly!

A base!”

"Boom-boom-boom!"

After the commander finished speaking, thick smoke filled the rear of a building behind him, and countless shells tore through the air and disappeared into the night sky.

"Boom boom boom!"

A few seconds later, explosions began to erupt from the opposite side of the bridge across the river, and flames shot into the sky.

"brush!"

At the same time as the shelling occurred, the entire city lost power and the streets suddenly became dark.

While turning off the lights, the commander turned around and took a look. He found that the artillery position was filled with smoke and flashed continuously against the background of the artillery fire. He immediately held the walkie-talkie and shouted: "Cease fire! Cease fire! They are using the light to find our artillery array! Be careful.

Counter-artillery operations! Evacuate immediately!"

"咻咻咻——"

Before the No. 1 artillery array at the rear could execute the order, the air roared again, and countless rockets and shells trailed flames and smoke trails, roaring toward the other side, like a meteor shower right before their eyes.

The experienced veterans have already begun to look for bunkers: "Line fire and rocket volleys! Run, run, run!!"

"Boom!"
Chapter completed!
