Southern battlefield.
The First Division of Gustav's army had been completely defeated and retreated in a panic from the front battlefield. The speeding military vehicles were filled with wounded soldiers, and wailing and crying were heard everywhere.
At the same time, Gustav's Second Division, which had been stationed on the Western Front, took on the task of covering the evacuation of its brother units.
The two armies were like an inverted V shape. After slowly merging together, they retreated together to the defense zone in the city of Santa Pau. A large number of troops in the city also came out to support the two divisions.
The enemy retreated in a relatively orderly manner, and there were many supporting troops, so Xin Xiaodong's Third Division only took the opportunity to occupy the positions on the southern line and did not pursue deep into the city.
…
Southern front.
While Xin Xiaodong was commanding the troops to set up camp, Su Tianyu's military vehicle slowly drove over and stopped on the road.
Xin Xiaodong, who was covered in dust, ran over happily, saluted and shouted, "Report to the commander-in-chief, we have successfully defeated the enemy's first division, occupied the southern line position, and completed the first stage goal!"
Su Tianyu looked at him with his hands behind his back and asked with a deliberately expressionless face: "How much damage was there?"
Xin Xiaodong thought for a moment and replied, "I haven't had time to count yet, but according to my judgment, plus the feedback from the front line, our combat casualties and armaments are at least half of the enemy's. For a tough battle, this data is acceptable."
Su Tianyu was satisfied after hearing the report, but seeing Xin Xiaodong eager to show off, he pointed in the direction of the city and said, "You bandit! Don't laugh too early. I have been observing the battlefield just now, and the bureau has also received intelligence. Gustav placed these two door gods outside the door to buy time for the evacuation of the people in the city and the establishment of a street fighting defense zone. The battles ahead will definitely be difficult to fight, and you must come up with a plan as soon as possible."
"Yes!" Xin Xiaodong saluted, stood beside Su Tianyu and said with his teeth bared: "I thought about the plan overnight, but for this battle, our brothers in the Third Division really...!"
"Alright, I understand your little trick." Su Tianyu waved his hand: "If you can really break into the city, you can rob. As long as it is Gustav's assets, there will be no restrictions. You, the Third Division, can take it first. If the number is not ideal, I will give you the rest."
"Commander-in-chief, with your words, our brothers in the Third Division will take away all the Hungarian rings from Gustav's wife!" Xin Xiaodong replied with a firm look.
"Why are you so cruel? How did you know she had a breast ring?"
"I asked around, and the information is very accurate." Xin Xiaodong replied with a grin.
"grass!"
Su Tianyu was speechless. He patted his shoulder and praised him, "You fought well, General Xin. You are really efficient! Okay, you go ahead. I'm going back to Jia City. I have something else to deal with there."
"Okay." Xin Xiaodong immediately shouted, "Drive over here!"
Not long after, Su Tianyu left under the watchful eyes of the officers of the Third Division. Xin Xiaodong blinked his eyes and suddenly turned his head to ask the guard next to him: "What did the commander-in-chief call me just now?"
"bandit."
"Fuck, that's not it!"
"Ah, he called you General Xin...!"
…
Chinese Workers' Union Headquarters in Santa Fe.
In the president's office, Huo Dongsheng sat on the sofa, smoking with a frown on his face.
On the sofa opposite, the three leaders of the Chinese Workers' Union were also there, and they all had sad and serious expressions.
Everyone was silent for a long time, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was very depressing.
After a long time, Dong Ke finally spoke up and broke the silence: "You said this matter is now... I just had two days of spitting, and now I have two big blisters. Look at this, Gustav is not doing well. His troops have only been stationed outside the city for one day, and they were broken at the first touch. If they can't hold on, will we be in danger? I haven't slept well for two days..."
Huo Dongsheng glanced at him and comforted him softly, "Old Dong, don't worry. Gustav is more anxious than you at this moment. If Su Tianyu and his gang come in, we will at most die, but Gustav has to lose his country and his family of hundreds of people. He can't afford to lose. After all, Gustav has fought for more than 30 years and is an old warlord. He must have his own plans. You are worrying too much."
Huo Dongsheng took a puff of cigarette, thought for a moment and said, "But we can't rely on him completely. We should do something ourselves. Lao Dong, Lao Liu, you two should identify the people in the club who are close to the Wang family, and then control them all and use them when the time comes."
Dong Ke and Liu Tao nodded.
Huo Dongsheng looked at Huang Peishan and said, "Old Huang, go contact the private armed forces nearby that you are familiar with. We will pay them to protect the safety of the area near the Chinese Workers' Union."
"Okay!" Huang Peishan agreed immediately.
Huo Dongsheng put down his cigarette and comforted him again: "Don't worry too much, everyone. As far as I know, in order to win this war, District 1 privately offered Gustav an unprecedented high price. Their support for Shengbao City is very strong, and it is not so easy for Su Tianyu and his men to break in. The entire Lao Li team can only mobilize 30,000 to 50,000 troops. It is impossible for this number of people to capture this city."
Everyone nodded, and Huang Peishan said with a smile: "Yes, we have only just reached the beginning."
"It's okay, let's work together and get things done." Dong Ke also replied.
“…!”
After listening to Huo Dongsheng's words, everyone's mood eased a little and they started chatting in a relaxed manner.
After a while, the troika left the office.
After going out and walking into the corridor, Dong Ke couldn't help sucking the big bubble on his mouth and said, "I still feel unsure... Damn, my heart is pounding..."
Huang Peishan glanced at him and said, "What else can we do if we don't have a base? If you run out now, won't you die faster? Damn it, we have no choice now. We can only stick together and continue to fight them."
Huang Peishan patted Dong Ke on the shoulder and said, "It's difficult now, just get through this!"
Old Dong sighed and said nothing more, and the three of them left the headquarters building silently.
…
Jia City, the temporary base of the Blackwater Legion.
Su Tianyu returned to the temporary command center in Jia City, took off his coat, went into the bathroom to take a shower, and sobered himself up.
"Ding Ling Ling!"
As soon as I went out of the door in my bathrobe, the phone rang.
"Hello?" Su Tianyu answered the phone while sitting on the sofa: "Brother, are you looking for me?"
"Xiao Yu, someone is coming from the Chinese District." Jiang Zhou said to Su Tianyu quickly, "Come back immediately!"
at the same time.
At the headquarters of the Fifth Division of the Central Bureau, Gwen also answered the phone: "Director!"
"Kang Dinghuang suggests that you be sent to Saint Paul City to provide military intelligence support to Gustav, and to observe the battlefield on behalf of District 1. Do you have any objection?"
"What the hell!" Gwen uttered an idiom.
"?? Are you scolding me?"
