Five hours later, under the cover of 10,000 troops, Wang Dingyuan led the remaining 30,000 people and galloped along the mountain road toward Tianshen Mountain.
Even though they were running at full speed, they still failed to catch up with the garrison and the Red Hat Army who launched another round of siege on the Tianshen Mountain position.
In the command car, Wang Dingyuan asked an officer next to him urgently: "How far is it?"
The officer immediately replied: "Report, we are already moving at full speed, but there are still 80 kilometers left. The mountain road is difficult to travel. It is estimated that it will take nearly two hours at least to reach Tianshen Mountain."
Upon hearing this, Wang Dingyuan hurriedly asked: "Where is the fighting over there? How long has it been since it started?"
Beside him, his chief of staff glanced at his watch and replied: "It's been almost an hour."
Wang Dingyuan frowned and said: "They have already conducted three defensive battles. I have estimated the weapons and equipment carried by General Staff Fei and the battlefield feedback data. It is difficult for them to withstand this wave of attacks."
A general couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, we are already fast enough. We went non-stop the whole way. The water tank of the armored vehicle behind was so hot that it cracked several times. As far as this mountain road is concerned, we have really reached the speed limit.
."

Wang Dingyuan thought for a moment and immediately said: "This can't continue like this. We must find a way to give them a breath of fresh air, otherwise they will definitely collapse."
The chief of staff asked: "Do you need me to call General Staff Fei?"
Wang Dingyuan waved his hand and said: "It's not a communication problem... In this way, you try to contact that side first. Don't say eighty kilometers, just say there are still fifty kilometers to go. At the same time, order the artillery battalion in front to let them ignore the big
Troops, speed up and get to the front."
"yes!"
…
An hour later, on Tianshen Mountain.
In a dark natural cave, Fei Pingsheng, Xing Yao and others lay quietly behind the rocks, motionless.
They all had wounds on their bodies, and their ammunition was running low, almost empty.
"Pa bang bang..."
There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, and soon after, several flashlight lights shone in the cave, sweeping back and forth on the gray stone walls.
Fei Pingsheng and the others lay quietly on the ground, held their breath, and clenched the weapons in their hands.
Several garrison soldiers walked in from outside the cave and cautiously investigated the cave. Their feet stepped on the sandy ground, making a crunching sound.
Two people were already walking in front, holding flashlights to shine inside.
“walk out!i saw you (come out, I saw you)!!”
One of them shouted loudly in English.
The cave was quiet, with no one responding. The team of more than ten people held guns and continued to go deeper inside.
Soon, the light had shone nearby, less than half a meter away from where Fei Pingsheng and the others were hiding.
Xing Yao lay aside, watching the light flashing continuously, calculating the position on the opposite side, gritting his teeth, and whispered: "Go and ride the horse, do it!"
As soon as the words fell, the twenty or thirty soldiers hiding around suddenly jumped up, holding weapons in hand, and started to fire at the nearby garrison.
"Da da da!"
A burst of bullets swept past, and several garrison soldiers were covered in blood mist and fell into a pool of blood.
Seeing this, the remaining garrison retreated outside the cave while shooting.
"Fuck, no one is allowed to live anymore!"
Xing Yao was so furious that he took the other soldiers who had already run out of bullets, opened the thorns, rushed directly into the crowd, and fought with the opponent at close range.
But at this moment, on the ground, a garrison soldier who had been shot twice in the abdomen was carrying a flamethrower specially designed to deal with complex bunkers. He used all his strength to pull the bolt and pressurize the flamethrower.
Then, with a whirring sound, a wave of fire rolled out and swept towards Xing Yao.
Xing Yao was stabbing with a spear. He had just stabbed a garrison in the chest and had no time to react.
"brigadier!"
Without thinking, a guard rushed over and knocked Xing Yao aside.
"call!"
"Ahh~!"
This wave of fire immediately swallowed up the guard, burning the upper half of his body. Amidst the screams, he fell to the ground, rolling around in pain.
The next moment, while the garrison was still firing, the two comrades rushed towards the guard, pressed him down with their bodies, then pulled off his clothes and kept beating the flames on his body.
Xing Yao's eyes were blood red, he stabbed with his spear and inserted it into the fire-breathing soldier's neck with a pop.
At the same time, Fei Pingsheng also fought very fiercely. He shot and killed two garrison soldiers in succession, and the ammunition in his automatic rifle was completely empty. Then he rushed into the crowd and stabbed the enemy with his spear.
Soon, Lao Fei was out of strength and was forced into a corner by an enemy whose gun had been knocked off with a dagger.
Looking at the shining dagger, at this moment, he didn't know whether he thought of his wife or the hot noodle soup that he had been thinking about day and night in the past few days. A force arose in his body and he directly swung the handle of the gun.
"Snapped!"
The opponent's dagger was immediately knocked away. Taking advantage of the opponent's daze, he then aimed at the opponent's stomach and struck him twice.
Blood spurted out like running water, covering Fei Pingsheng's body, and then the enemy's body fell limply to the ground.
In just a few dozen seconds, an extremely bloody hand-to-hand combat took place in the cave.
After the last enemy fell in a pool of blood, there were only a dozen soldiers left in the cave, leaning against the wall, sitting on the ground limply, breathing heavily to replenish their strength.
When the enemy launched this attack, Fei Pingsheng's two brigades were not only out of artillery shells, but also the ammunition for ordinary soldiers was extremely scarce.
Many of the entrenched defense lines have also been defeated. The opponent's main forces have all ascended to Tianshen Mountain and are launching an encirclement and suppression campaign against Fei Pingsheng and his troops.
Inside the cave, there were corpses and blood everywhere, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.
Fei Pingsheng breathed calmly and said in a hoarse voice: "Clean up the ammunition and prepare to withdraw..."
Xing Yao leaned against the stone wall, pressed his left hand that was trembling due to separation, paused, gritted his teeth and said: "Young horseman, when you called, you said you'll be here soon, immediately, immediately, when will it be immediately? If you continue to fight like this,
, our soldiers have to use knives to fight the machine guns on the opposite side!"
"Bang bang bang!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was suddenly a violent sound of artillery on the ground in the distance.
The sound of the cannon was deafening, and the ground seemed to be shaking continuously. Everyone present suddenly stood up from the ground and looked out of the cave.
I saw rows of artillery fire shooting into the sky on the mountains forty or fifty miles away.
Xing Yao was stunned on the spot for a moment.
At the same time, all the soldiers of the Min Army who were fighting hard on Tianshen Mountain, after seeing these artillery shells rising into the sky and exploding like fireworks, felt like a shot in the arm and regained hope. The originally low morale,
Burning again.
Fei Pingsheng quickly ran to the entrance of the cave, looked at the illuminated sky, knelt down and sat on the ground, and said with tears: "The horse rider is finally here!"
"Our army is coming!"
"Look, we are very close!"
On the mountain peak, soldiers were constantly shouting.
"Didi dididi——"
I don't know who it was, but along with the bursts of cannon fire, a loud charge horn was blown.
Immediately afterwards, all over the mountains and plains, the Minjun soldiers who had been hiding in the darkness once again ignited their fighting spirit, turned into a torrent, and launched a counterattack against the frightened enemy army.
…
At the same time, the command car.
Wang Dingyuan looked through the car window and saw the artillery fire shooting into the air from the mountains in the distance. He gritted his teeth and said, "Hurry! Hurry up!"
An officer of the Blackwater Corps couldn't help but ask: "These shells are only used for empty firing. Isn't it a waste?"
Wang Dingyuan looked at him and said very firmly: "When people are in despair, what they most want to see is a little light. We have to give them hope to live."
…
District 1, Washington, the office building newly assigned to the Security Council.
In the dim interrogation room, a sturdy middle-aged man with a small parted hair stood there, holding his hands behind his back and asking the person next to him: "He hasn't said anything yet?"
This person's name is Liu Qi. He is currently one of Kong Zhenghui's most dedicated staff members, and he also defected from Longcheng.
The subordinate shook his head, and Liu Qi grinned: "Okay, then I'll talk to him personally."
