Violent gunfire resounded through the sky, and dense shells flew close to the river bank and landed on the People's Min Army's defense line.
Large swathes of flames opened up, lighting up the night sky. Soldiers lay in trenches or behind bunkers, avoiding the baptism of shells.
Fortunately, the People's Min Army had built complete fortifications before the war. Although the enemy's artillery fire was intensive, it did not cause much damage to this side.
At this time, Xin Xiaodong was wearing a military uniform and standing next to the temporary command post in the rear. He was holding a military telescope and silently looking at the roaring artillery position opposite.
"brush!"
The tent next to him was opened, and Fei Pingsheng heard the sound of the cannons and walked out with a solemn expression. Seeing rows of barrages in the distance, he couldn't help but cursed: "You are stepping on the horse, did the other party do it first?"
Xin Xiaodong put down the telescope, and his face did not have the heavy feeling of a big battle. Instead, he said calmly: "It's okay to fight, otherwise when will we be able to deal with them? Now that the cannon fires, I feel relieved."
"That's right." Fei Pingsheng nodded: "Then what should we do next? What are we doing?"
"No hurry, just wait." Xin Xiaodong waved his hand, turned to the side and shouted: "Uncle Wu!"
Upon hearing the shouting, Staff Officer Wu, who was standing behind him, stepped forward and responded in a very serious manner: "Please give the order, commander!"
"Send the order!" Xin Xiaodong said loudly: "Order all the troops on the front line to shrink their formation and lie down in the trench without moving. No matter what happens outside, they cannot rush out. I will first see the intensity of their attack. Staff group, all
Come to the combat conference room with me to hold a combat meeting."
"yes!"
Xin Xiaodong gave the order and the position began to close the defense line, accumulating strength and waiting for counterattack.
…
At the same time, Longcheng Station Headquarters.
"Boom boom!"
The sound of artillery that resounded through the sky had already entered the headquarters building. The officers in the conference room were all pale-faced and looked at each other.
Zhang Xunchen, who was holding the phone and preparing to make a call, was stunned for a moment and turned to look at Tan Hengqiang sitting next to him.
Tan Hengqiang's face was as dark as water, and he didn't know what he was thinking. The officers sitting below were talking in low voices, guessing the source of the gunfire.
"Fuck, who fired the cannon?"
"Could it be Lao Jiang?"
"Impossible, it must be Su Tianyu! This kid is really crazy about riding horses!"
Everyone was arguing endlessly, and the conference room was in chaos for a while.
"Bah bang bang!"
At this moment, there was a sound of rapid footsteps, and everyone stopped talking and turned to look outside the door.
The chief of the Military Intelligence Investigation Section looked solemn, walked into the conference room quickly, and saluted Tan Hengqiang: "Report to the commander, important information has been received on the front line!"
Tan Hengqiang waved his hand: "Say."
"Our army, Jiang Yuanzhen's troops, suddenly launched an attack on the Hua Tonghui Min Army's defense line at eight o'clock in the evening. Almost the entire main force of the army was mobilized!"
After hearing this piece of information, everyone couldn't help but look down. Zhang Xunchen subconsciously looked at Tan Hengqiang, and after a long silence, he said with a cold face: "This Jiang Yuanzhen..."
"Snapped!"
Before he could finish speaking, Tan Hengqiang slammed the table, raised his eyebrows and cursed: "Jiang Yuanzhen, who is riding a horse, is too courageous! Immediately call the First Army Headquarters and ask him if he wants to set me on fire.
Pile it on?!"
"Yes!" Zhang Xunchen took the phone and dialed the unfinished call just now.
After two beeps, the other person answered the phone: "Hello?"
Zhang Xunchen first glanced at Tan Hengqiang's face and asked first, "Jiang Yuanzhen, who asked your First Army to attack?"
Jiang Yuanzhen said confidently: "Report to the Chief of General Staff that we did not initiate the attack, but the other party provoked us first and opened fire on our troops, and we were forced to counterattack. Su Tianyu didn't want to talk at all, they just wanted to fight!"
Zhang Xunchen said with a cold look: "Old Jiang, Old Jiang, you are smart all your life, but you were confused for a moment! The reason for firing will not become a secret, but you do this..."
"Chief of the General Staff!" Jiang Yuanzhen interrupted him and still said plausibly: "I swear to God, we did not initiate the war. I will give you a detailed report on the cause of the war. But now the sound of artillery has stopped
Ringing, our First Army has launched a counterattack, please ask the Chief of General Staff to issue follow-up combat instructions!"
"You've thought about it, then you can call it yourself!" Zhang Xunchen snapped and hung up the phone.
Everyone did not dare to say anything, and their eyes fell on Tan Hengqiang's face. The latter's expression became increasingly gloomy.
…
Dragon City, the overall situation.
Su Tianyu and others were still sitting in the conference room, still having a meeting. When they heard the sound of cannons in the distance, everyone looked startled.
Gu Baishun turned his head, looked at Su Tianyu and said: "Su Bureau, the cannon has been fired on the other side."
"He's riding on a horse..." Su Tianyu couldn't help but cursed: "This Jiang Yuanzhen has played with Old Tan. But it doesn't matter. Since he wants to jump, let's go against him."
After saying that, Su Tianyu stood up, walked to the electronic sand table that had just been made in front, and carefully observed the position layout of both sides.
At present, the main forces of both sides are still confronting each other. The reinforcements of the People's Min Army are in Bana City, and the two divisions in the first area are also a long way from the war zone. I just don't know whether there will be more investment in the first area in the future.
With the scale in Lao Tan's heart, who will he favor in the end...
Su Tianyu touched his chin and was thinking about the future battle situation. The troops on the sand table seemed to be moving in his mind.
Lu Feng, Gu Baishun and the others sat next to him, not daring to say a word for fear of disturbing his train of thought.
"Dong dong dong!"
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door of the conference room, waking Su Tianyu up.
"Enter!"
Hou Guoyu gently pushed open the door and said, "Master Liu, Qiqi is here."
Su Tianyu nodded slightly: "Then let her come in."
Hou Guoyu turned and left, and after a while, the door of the conference room was pushed open again.
An Qiqi, dressed in a smart military uniform, stood outside the door. He did not come in, but nodded politely to everyone, and then waved to Su Tianyu: "Xiao Yu, come out."
Su Tianyu was slightly startled.
An Qiqi said again: "Come here, let's have a chat alone."
"You guys discuss it first." Su Tianyu told everyone, turned around and followed An Qiqi out.
The two walked through the corridor and walked into an empty lounge nearby. An Qiqi closed the door and pulled Su Tianyu to sit on the sofa.
Su Tianyu looked at her and asked curiously: "What's so mysterious?"
An Qiqi was silent for a moment and said softly: "Dad asked you not to move, not to care about anything, and to withdraw the troops."
Su Tianyu was stunned when he heard what the other party said.
dad?
Is this a title shared by both parties? An Qiqi has never spoken to herself like this...
