7:30 in the evening, near Longcheng Zhanan Industrial Zone.
At the junction of the Long River and the Inland Sea, an old man in a worn cotton coat was standing on the weed-covered shore, pulling a fishing net from the water with great effort.
The old man was about 60 years old, with rough and dark skin. He was an old fisherman in the area. He secretly put the fishing net into the water in the early morning.
Not far from him, a little boy, also wrapped in a cotton coat, about seven or eight years old, was squatting on the ground, skipping stones on the water tirelessly.
The night wind was very cold, carrying the moisture of the Long River, scraping at my face like a knife. The old man panted heavily, and with quick and decisive movements, he pulled the fishing net and slowly moved to the shore.
"Come up!"
The little boy threw the stone and ran over happily.
With the help of the flashlight, I saw only a dozen small fish in the fishing net, flapping their tails weakly.
The old man couldn't help but sigh, his face somewhat disappointed. He looked around vigilantly, making sure there were no water police patrolling, and then he quickly dumped the fish into the prepared fish cage.
The little boy counted the fish and couldn't help complaining, "Why are there so few fish?"
Hearing his grandson's words, the old man stretched out his hand, pointed to the fleet on the sea in the distance, and said softly: "Those big ships equipped with cannons are discharging sewage here, so the fish won't come here."
The little boy leaned against his grandfather's leg and said, "Grandpa, let's not come next time! Those coast guard uncles will arrest people!"
The old man touched his grandson's head and said, "If we are afraid of being caught, we will starve to death. Let's go home..."
As he spoke, the old man pulled the fishing net and walked towards the tricycle next to him.
“Woo woo woo—”
At this moment, a deafening alarm suddenly sounded in my ears!
The sound instantly resounded across the water and echoed throughout the entire Dragon City!
The old man stood there in astonishment, subconsciously looking towards the sea in the distance. Lights were flashing above the sea, and sixty or seventy bombers, with their cruise lights on, were flying close to the water!
“Boom boom!”
Almost in the blink of an eye, these fighter jets flew over their heads and flew towards an industrial area behind with a roar.
“Swish, swish, swish!”
“Boom boom boom!”
A piece of bullet fell from the sky, and the entire industrial area of Zhannan turned into a sea of fire!
The earth was shaking and explosions were heard one after another!
Soon after, Zhanan’s power system was also scrapped!
“Swish, swish, swish!”
Areas gradually darkened, and finally only blazing flames remained, illuminating the city red!
The old man suddenly woke up, pointed at the little boy and shouted, "Quick! Go hide under the bridge next to you!"
The little boy was so scared that he burst into tears and staggered to the bottom of the bridge tunnel next to him, where he lay on the ground and trembled.
The old man turned his head and saw the tricycle that could help him with his work, just two or three meters away.
He gritted his teeth, ran over, got on the bike, and stepped on the accelerator.
The little boy lay on the ground, crying: "Grandpa, come here quickly, Grandpa!"
"It's almost there, it's almost there! It's coming soon!"
The tricycle was finally kicked, and the old man's forehead was covered with sweat. He stepped on the accelerator and rode under the bridge.
“Swoosh!”
Several more bullets fell from the sky.
“Boom boom!”
A section of the bridge tunnel was blown down, dust billowed into the sky, and rubble was scattered everywhere.
The place where the little boy hid did not collapse, so he escaped by luck. He looked up tremblingly and found that there was a sea of fire all around him, and his grandfather had disappeared...
At 7:45 in the evening, the war between District 1 and Dragon City officially began!
The heavy industrial area and power system along the coast of Longcheng Port were all blown up immediately! Facing the fully modernized long-range strike fleet of District 1, Longcheng's air defense system was almost like paper, and it did not form too effective resistance. It was beaten to pieces in the blink of an eye.
The battleship successfully completed the mission, and the entire Longcheng military combat readiness system was paralyzed in an instant.
…
At the same time, at the Longcheng forward command base.
Tan Hengqiang stood in front of the big screen with his hands behind his back, looking at the heavy industrial base engulfed in flames, with no surprise in his eyes. As the commander-in-chief, he knew Dragon City's military defense capabilities too well, and he also knew that he could not stop this kind of regional-level war attack.
Longcheng has a limited land area and is an economic city that relies on seaport trade for its survival, which gives it a natural disadvantage in the field of self-sufficiency in the military field.
"Avoiding war!! This is what some people have always wanted to avoid!"
Next to him, An Zecheng pointed at the heavy industrial zone on the screen, which was burning with blazing flames. He turned his head and said to the more than 30 generals around him, "Some people have been saying that there is no need to fight this war because we have already completed the integration with District 1! Look for yourselves, is this the integration you are talking about? If you don't listen, the planes and artillery will come! Who left us some room!!"
Everyone at the scene looked pale and there was complete silence.
At this time, Tan Hengqiang waved his hand and shouted: "The armored forces in Area 1 will advance soon! Notify all units to pay attention and fight back with all their strength according to the previously divided areas!"
"yes!"
All the officers saluted and quickly got busy.
The defense battle of Longcheng started soon, and the sound of gunfire was heard everywhere!
…
Ten o'clock in the evening, Xinlai area.
Mord Amon was sitting at the table in the war room, drinking coffee and waiting for news.
Around him, his officers were busy.
At this time, the Chief of Staff stepped in and whispered in Mod Amon's ear: "General, the battlefield reports from the front have been collected. It is now basically certain that the military supply system inside Dragon City has been basically paralyzed under the sea, land and air attacks in District 1. The power supply has been destroyed, the water source has been polluted, and the heavy industrial area has been completely scrapped. Two hours ago, more than a dozen garrisons in Dragon City also engaged in fierce battles with the enemy. At present, although it has been temporarily defended, judging from the intensity of the attack in District 1, the outer defense line of Dragon City will not last too long, and will collapse in a day at most!"
When Mod Amon heard these words, his heart was a little moved.
The Chief of Staff added: "If we follow the changes now, we will win a lot of favor from District 1."
Mod Amon waved his hand and said, "A smart hunter is usually not too impatient. We need to make appropriate judgments based on the situation on the scene. Don't be impatient, wait a little longer."
"yes… "
While the two were talking, the officer in charge of the battlefield reconnaissance in the old Mexico front suddenly turned his head and shouted: "General, look, the rebels have launched a general attack!"
Hearing this, Mod Amon immediately stood up and walked over.
On the large projection screen, the rebel army of more than 100,000 people had already begun to move. Under the fire cover of six regimental artillery units, they launched a frenzied attack on the surrounding areas of Hualei Town with a force as powerful as a tsunami!
It was as if a war movie was being played out on the big screen. After the artillery unit had carried out artillery fire coverage for more than ten minutes, the air force in Area 1 launched an operation, cooperating with the rebels to advance towards the town of Hualei, vowing to swallow up an army of 300,000!
Looking at these images, Modamon's eyes kept changing, as if he was thinking about something.
…
The forward command base of the Mexican government troops.
Wang Dingyuan stood in the command center and said to Zhao Weihu in front of him: "Notify Santos! Have all his troops push to the vicinity of Hualei Town and prepare for battle!"
Zhao Weihu replied: "I have already communicated with him."
Wang Dingyuan said urgently: "The turning point of the entire war is now in Hualei Town! Call Santos again and tell him not to hesitate or overthink! I need his troops to lead the way! Make all the fish under the water float up!"
…
China District, South Shanghai City.
In the conference room of the Foreign Affairs Hotel, Jiang Zhou and a group of people were discussing the war on the front line intensely.
Su Tianyu pushed the wheelchair, walked to the window, picked up the phone, and dialed Bai Hongbo's number: "Hello, the person I want...!"
