In Changji City.

After receiving the order from Xiang Zehao, the third regiment commander immediately led the troops around him to advance to the backyard of the government building. His mission was to capture Yan Ziyu alive. But the purpose of this mission was not just to retaliate against Yan Ziyu for killing more than 30 self-defense officers, but also to the fact that he was the son of the second-in-commander of the Party and the government. Capturing him alive would be equivalent to enhancing the weight of the bargaining chips.

Dozens of military vehicles stroking the wide streets and rushed to the vicinity of the government building. Then the third regiment commander ordered to fight from the north to the backyard of the building. They would also encounter the blockade of the outer sand-type troops, as well as the forces of the battalion following Yan Ziyu in the backyard.

...

Changji City, with Shiyuan Avenue as the center, Zhongnan Street and Maguan Street as the outer radius, is the main battlefield of this military conflict.

This central area includes a series of administrative agencies such as the Municipal Government Building, Changji Police Department, Taxation Department, and the Municipal Council. The families of many party and government leaders also live in the family compound nearby, and Changji’s most famous Xingyao Group is also located here.

Simply put, this area is the political and business center of Changji City, and Sha Zhongwei's current main forces are all stationed nearby, so the decisive battle to attack Changji is here.

Outside Maguan Street.

A large number of soldiers of the Self-Defense Forces dropped densely packed small unmanned reconnaissance aircraft into the air. After a large number of images in the defense zone were fed back, Xiang Zehao began to command the troops and rush forward according to the actual situation.

The charge began to heat up, and the deafening sound of gunfire spread throughout the city!

The two fully-built regiments of the Self-Defense Forces rushed forward twice without regard to the damage to the war, but they only advanced less than a kilometer. The overall effect was much worse than expected.

A large number of wounded soldiers were transported back from the front. Xiang Zehao took the soldiers of the guard company and trotted forward, meeting the commander of the 111th Division of the Self-Defense Army who came from the south of Changji.

"Captain, enter the bunker on both sides of the street!" The regiment commander rushed over in front of the artillery fire, reached out to pull Xiang Zehao, and ran to the alley on the street.

"How is the situation?" Xiang Zehao asked: "Is your team's offense smooth?"

"Not going well!" The commander of the regiment shook his head: "Sha Zhongwei is very good at fighting. He knew that he could not defend the two entrances, so he placed all the main forces here, and there was also the police system's riot team, and the special forces team helped! Their total number was at least 7,000 people up, and they only stood within this five or six kilometers range, relying on the favorable terrain of urban combat, blocking our propulsion troops!"

"I told you all that you should concentrate the troops of a regiment and fight at a point, and don't disperse it." Xiang Zehao roared and replied: "They have many points to guard, but we don't need to wipe out the other side. We just need to destroy their command organization and capture Sha Zhongwei alive! There is no need to advance according to the conventional combat methods!"

"That's how I fought." A regiment commander replied in a low voice: "But the effect is the same. The strength of our regiment does not have an advantage when advancing forward! The special forces and riot teams of the police system are all very well equipped. When you go forward, a large number of multi-functional police officers are used as combat vehicles and block them horizontally on the streets. If you don't use RPG to fight, it will not work at all. But our ammunition reserves are limited, and it is impossible to withstand it. Moreover, there are differences between city operations and gate combat. There are almost no civil buildings at the gate, nor residential areas, cannons, aircrafts, and just pour ammunition into the enemy's defense zone. But in the center of the city, we cannot be so big. There are residential buildings and civil buildings around us. When we use small-scale destruction weapons, we have to consider too many factors, otherwise if the shells are missed, a building will be gone. How many people will die?!"

Xiang Zehao was anxious, but he also knew that the first regiment commander was not making excuses. The battle in the city at this moment was indeed different from the previous battle at the gate.

The battle at the gate was smooth because the Second World War Zone concentrated air forces and gave the siege troops a lot of air support. However, the troops have now entered the city. Even if the air forces in the Second World War Zone were not entangled by the enemy air force, it would be impossible to launch a bomb in the city without any brainstorm and fire with machine guns. That would be no different from attacking Tianjin Port in the fifth area. There would definitely be a large number of casualties, and even the number of casualties would be higher than that of combat troops.

Not only is this terrorist attack that Xiang Zehao cannot accept, but even the sinking and sandy systems will not do such a thing to his own people during military operations.

what to do?

The support troops of the sinking and sand system will arrive soon, and the situation will not be optimistic.

After thinking carefully for dozens of seconds, Xiang Zehao immediately issued an order: "The first regiment and the second regiment will divide the troops into company-level units and launch an attack on the enemy's defense zone. If it cannot be broken at all, we will fight more!"

The commander of the regiment was stunned: "Don't you want to fight with a single point? If you divide the troops, our troops will not have the advantage of military strength and may be strangled in the center of the battlefield. They cannot attack or withdraw."

"There is only one purpose of dividing troops, which is to find Sha Zhongwei for me and kill his division command!" Xiang Zehao gritted his teeth and said, "If a regiment cannot be killed, then you are gathering a regiment, and the result is the same! It is too late to advance slowly. The reinforcements from the Shen and Sha Group will be at the same time! Therefore, we can only infiltrate a small group of troops and try every means to penetrate the center of the battlefield. As long as there are troops that can penetrate, Sha Zhongwei's command will be unsure. They have to rely on frequent changes in command positions to ensure their own safety! As long as they move, we may seize the opportunity!"

"I understand." A group leader explained simply and easily: "Force him to move!?"

"Yes!" Xiang Zehao nodded: "Split the troops immediately, I will lead the guard company and go in!"

"yes!"

After the two of them communicated, the two offensive regiments issued an order to divide the troops at the same time, and began to launch an attack on the enemy's defense zone at multiple points within a five-kilometer range.

The alleys, gardens, and small streets between the buildings were filled with company-level combat units of the Self-Defense Forces. Their mission was not to defeat the defenders, but to try every means to enter the center of the battlefield, with the main goal of lurking and rapid advancement.

With such a fight, the Self-Defense Forces suffered a great loss, because the small forces have limited strength. Once they hit the enemy's heavy defense area, there is basically no possibility of running away. They either surrender or are completely wiped out.

But this kind of battle also caused the sand-type defenders within five kilometers to be completely in chaos, because they could not radiate their troops to every street, and there would always be fish that would leak into it. Therefore, Sha Zhongwei was also very unsure and kept changing the location of the command center to protect himself.

...

Backyard of government building.

After Yan Ziyu heard the fierce gunfire sounding on the outside, she also guessed in her heart that this might be coming for him.

"Defense! Defense!" Yan Ziyu hid in the back door of the building. Her thin body was protected by more than 20 soldiers, but she still shouted insecurely: "Send more people to the back door!"

"Mr. Yan, don't quarrel, don't command blindly. The enemy has not arrived yet, so we cannot expose the firepower points!" The battalion commander, who was responsible for protecting him, replied helplessly.

"There are too few people in the back door!"

"CNM, you haven't even arrived, what are you calling?!" A irritable company-level officer cursed at all: "If you are afraid, go to the basement! Don't be fucked up!"

On the outside, the third regiment commander broke through the small sand guards guarding the streets and immediately waved his hand and shouted: "Get into the backyard!! Capture Yan Ziyu alive for me and avenge the thirty-five comrades who were vulnerable!!"

"Run!!"

A large number of soldiers rushed to the backyard.

...

District 8, within the headquarters.

"The Governor, assisting the fifth district in the defense of the EU Corps outside the Old Triangle area, there are abnormal movements in our military defense zone." A senior officer said to Gu Tai'an.
