At 11:40 p.m., on a highway out of Longcheng, a row of military vehicles from the An system were driving quickly towards the front-line positions.
An Zecheng sat in one of the cars, with his hands crossed, giving orders in an orderly manner to the chief of staff beside him.
While arranging the task, the chief of staff suddenly received a call. After a while, he put down his phone and turned to report to An Zecheng: "Commander, Ye Liqiu has returned to our position. Jiang Yuanzhen's troops are already confused. After our sneak attack, the large force led by Jiang Yuan stopped advancing and began to retreat. They have now evacuated the location of Haiyankeng and should be heading for the defense line along the Long River."
An Zecheng nodded gently and said in a steady tone: "Let our troops continue to advance and cooperate with Xin Xiaodong to encircle the First Army along the Long River. In addition, you call Jiang Yuan in person and tell him that I will give him one hour to bring all the officers above the regimental level of Jiang's faction to report to our frontline positions. Call him now."
An Zecheng was too lazy to talk to someone like Jiang Yuan, so he asked his chief of staff to do this.
"Yes!" The chief of staff quickly took out his cell phone and made a call.
…
The front-line command post of Jiang’s troops.
After the staff officers surrounding the sand table learned the news, they all turned pale and were at a loss for a moment.
“Bang!”
Jiang Yuan slammed the phone down on the landline, kicked the chair next to him with a bang, and cursed at the staff below with veins on his forehead: "Fuck the neighbors, two regiments can't protect a logistics command center? In their own defense zone, at such a close distance, can they be beheaded? Trash, pull the two guard regiment leaders over here and shoot them!"
The staff officers and other officers stood by, with their heads lowered, not daring to say a word.
Jiang Yuan's mentality completely exploded. He continued to point at their noses and vent his anger: "A bunch of rubbish! You can't even protect your own military commander. What use do I have for you? You keep shouting for war every day, but once the war started, you created this situation! The Jiang family is in this state today, all because of you!"
The officers remained silent. Before the shooting, they were indeed in favor of fighting because they could all gain benefits.
After a while, the old chief of staff of the Jiang faction came over and advised: "Don't get excited yet. I received news that there are allies in our rear defense zone who opened a gap for the An faction, so they can break in..."
This old chief of staff has followed Jiang Yuanzhen for many years and has watched Jiang Yuan grow up. He is like an uncle to Jiang Yuan and is respected by the two young masters of the Jiang family.
"These are all objective reasons. What I want is the result! This is to prevent disadvantages!"
The old chief of staff sighed and said nothing more. He understood that the successive incidents of Jiang Zheng and Jiang Yuanzhen had already caused this young master to lose his balance.
Just as Jiang Yuan was furious, a communicator came over and said to Jiang Yuan in a timid tone, "Commander-in-chief... An, An is calling..."
Jiang Yuan strode to the side with a gloomy face, and took the phone: "Hello?"
The voice of the An faction's chief of staff came over the phone: "We will give you one hour. You will lead all the officers above the regimental level of the Jiang faction to report to our An faction's frontline position."
When Jiang Yuan heard this, he raised his eyebrows, jumped up and cursed: "Are you fucking dreaming?! Fuck you, you little bastards!"
Facing the incompetent scolding, the chief of staff reminded in a cold voice: "Be careful with your words and control your emotions. Your father, your brother, and your cousin, their safety now depends on you alone."
Hearing this, Jiang Yuan's head seemed to explode and buzz. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth to hold back his anger.
The chief of staff paused and continued, "I will give you one hour. Bring all your men here. Also, do not move your troops. If you dare to move, we will immediately join forces with the Huatonghui Renmin Army to wipe you out along the Long River. If you dare to resist or flee, I will first shoot your brother and then send your father to the Longcheng Military Court."
Jiang Yuan was trembling all over, his teeth were chattering, and the veins on his temples were bulging.
Anze Cheng's chief of staff reminded again: "One hour, that's it."
After saying that, the phone was hung up with a click.
Jiang Yuan's face was distorted, and he tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, his eyes were bloodshot.
Jiang's chief of staff knew something was wrong and hurried forward to ask, "What does he mean?"
Jiang Yuan paused for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said, "He asked us to report there with officers above the regimental level, otherwise he would join forces with the Renmin Army to destroy us along the Long River."
The old chief of staff frowned and immediately said, "You can't go!"
…
At the same time, Longcheng Comprehensive Bureau.
After Gu Baishun received a call, he said to Su Tianyu who was sitting next to him: "Director Su, the situation is a bit complicated now... Regarding the garrison, Tan Hengqiang has already pushed a large force to the edge line, and formed a confrontation with the 3rd Armored Division and the 10th Infantry Division of District 1. On the An side, Jiang Yuanzhen was quickly beheaded, and the main force was sent to surround the Jiang forces along the Long River, ready to launch an attack at any time."
Su Tianyu was also confused now. In just one hour, the battle situation had changed drastically. As the leader of this battle, he had no sense of existence at all.
We don’t even know what happened on the front line, the opponent is gone? !
This battle was too outrageous!
Thinking of this, Su Tianyu paused for a long time, and said with a strange look on his face: "We didn't move a muscle, and they finished the job. It seems like it has nothing to do with us."
Gu Baishun was silent for a long time, and finally said: "I can't understand your father's strategy..."
Su Tianyu slammed the table: "What occasion, be careful with your words!"
Everyone was silent. Su Tianyu stood up and said, "You guys discuss first. I'll go out and make a phone call."
Soon, Su Tianyu walked to an empty small room next to him, took out his cell phone and dialed the number.
A calm voice came from the other side: "Hello?"
After thinking for a long time, Su Tianyu finally used a relatively intimate and not too corny name: "Uncle... It's such a big scene, let me move. If I don't move, these 20,000 people seem to be here to watch the fun."
An Zecheng responded calmly, "Why are you moving? I'm going through so much trouble because I don't want the administrative faction to get involved, especially you, and thus oppose the garrison. I don't want the generals of the garrison to harbor hatred and grudges against you. Just stay here and watch the show!"
Su Tianyu was silent for a long time, then asked: "When did you see it?"
