In Longcheng, the First Independent Combat Brigade led by Wang Xiao had a total of six regiments, four of which seized the important roads along the city's edge at the first opportunity, cutting off the First Army's connection with the city and launching a defense, leaving Xin Xiaodong's troops completely without a way to retreat.
Because of their actions, a hole was torn in the southern defense zone of Longcheng, disrupting all the garrison plans here!
At the same time, the First Corps in Zone 1 dispatched two divisions to cooperate with the armored forces and the air force, a total of more than 50,000 people, and quickly launched an attack on the First Army's defense zone!
At this moment, Xin Xiaodong rushed back to his unit, but what he got in his hand was a hot potato.
The First Army was in the situation of being caught in the defensive line, having to face the frenzied attack from District One in front, and the stab from the Wang family from behind!
In the combat command room, Chief of General Staff Wu was pointing at the sand table and introducing the current situation to Xin Xiaodong.
Xin Xiaodong frowned and his brain started working rapidly.
A staff officer nearby thought for a moment and suggested, "Commander, our situation is rather complicated now. If we don't defend against the attacking forces in Area 1 with all our strength, our frontline forces will be quickly eroded. The garrison is also under great pressure. Under such circumstances, it is difficult for them to provide us with any strong support. So now, we must make a choice."
Hearing this, Xin Xiaodong raised his head and glanced at the young staff officer beside him: "Damn it! Do we need to make choices in this matter? When the war starts, we should fight the traitors first! This is an eternal truth!"
The young staff officer knew he had said the wrong thing, so he lowered his head and dared not say a word.
Xin Xiaodong waved his hand and said to the signalman, "Connect me to the First Division Headquarters!"
"yes!"
The signalman picked up the phone and quickly dialed the First Division Headquarters.
The call was quickly connected, and a man's voice came from the phone: "Hello? I'm Wang Dacheng, the commander of the First Division!"
The roar of artillery fire continued to be heard in the microphone. At this time, Wang Dacheng was leading his troops to resist the attack of the First Corps.
Xin Xiaodong said: "I am Xin Xiaodong!"
"Hello, Commander!" Wang Dacheng was shocked when he heard Xin Xiaodong's voice on the phone. He immediately shouted, "Please give me your instructions, Commander!"
Xin Xiaodong pinched his waist and asked directly: "I need your First Division to hold the front line for two hours. Can you do it?"
Wang Dacheng said very frankly: "Report to the commander, I don't know if I can do it! But I will not withdraw from the battlefield before I die!"
"Okay!" Xin Xiaodong said immediately, "That's what I want you to say! Hold on! Even if there is only one soldier left, you must nail him down on the defense line. Don't let the soldiers from District 1 slip in! I need to deal with the traitor in our family now. After that, I will personally lead the army to join you!"
"Yes! Obey orders resolutely!"
Wang Dacheng's voice was high and powerful. Xin Xiaodong nodded and hung up the phone.
…
At the same time, at the 1st Division Headquarters.
The officers of the division headquarters also gathered here and were holding an emergency combat meeting with Wang Dacheng.
There were bursts of gunfire outside, and violent explosions one after another!
At this time, under the operation of the signalman, all communications in the entire First Division were silent. Wang Dacheng stood in the camp with a communicator in his hand. With a firm look in his eyes, he said to everyone: "Once the war starts, people's hearts are restless. Too many people are fence-sitters, ready to turn against their side and become lackeys for the First District! Such people must pay the price in blood! I just received an order from the army commander, asking our First Division to hold the defense zone and block the armored forces of the First District for me! ! I have no other requirements. We are the main force of the first echelon. Four words: fight to the death with coffins! ! "
“Woo-woo—”
Immediately afterwards, a slightly tragic assembly call sounded throughout the defense zone!
All the defenders of the First Division, including related military defense forces, came forward to stand in front of the First Corps of Area 1, and vowed to resist the invasion to the death!
At the same time, Xin Xiaodong personally led the Second Division, abandoned the armored forces that were not good at urban warfare, and went directly into the city with light equipment.
The three artillery regiments under the Second Division all turned their guns and retreated into the city.
Because the Renmin Army's troops were originally stationed near the city's defense zone, the transfer was very fast, and the adjustment was completed in just over half an hour.
Three artillery regiments were already in position, their gun barrels pointed towards the city.
…
Xin Xiaodong stood in a forward command post, holding a telescope and looking at the First Independent Combat Brigade in the distance.
This armed force, which belongs to the Wang family, has already set up a defense zone and is preparing to move towards the city.
Xin Xiaodong observed for a long time, put down the telescope, turned his head and said to Chief of Staff Wu beside him very decisively: "Those buildings in the south are gone. Two rounds of salvos will evaporate all obstacles! All troops, bayonets are drawn, and after the bombardment, the enemy's defense zone will be broken. The 8,000 people of the Second Division, only capture Wang Xiao!!! I don't care what grievances he has, he rebelled on the battlefield, I must skin him alive!"
"yes!"
Chief of Staff Wu nodded and quickly issued a military order.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
Half a minute later, rows of artillery shells tore through the night sky and landed towards the defense zone of the Wang family’s troops!
“Boom boom boom!”
Immediately afterwards, the ground trembled, explosions roared! Buildings collapsed in the artillery fire, and enemy soldiers turned into ashes!
The outskirts of Dragon City turned into a sea of fire!
“Woo woo woo—”
An exciting charge sounded, and the entire Second Division, a total of 8,000 infantrymen, rushed towards the Wang family's troops amid the sound of fighting!
The Wang family troops, who had just completed their garrison and were gradually moving into the city, suffered a heavy blow!
Wang Xiao, who was commanding at the front line, looked at the sea of fire in front of him with a look of shock on his face. He couldn't help but ask, "Did the First Army react so quickly?"
An officer beside him said, "Yes, I heard that Xin Xiaodong himself has returned!"
Wang Xiao gritted his teeth and said sternly, "Don't worry about them. Go to the city quickly! Disrupt the defense line completely! Signalman, connect the fifth and sixth regiments!"
"yes!"
Soon, the signalman got through to the two regiments that had entered the city, and Wang Xiao immediately asked, "Where are you?"
The two regiment leaders were together, and the fifth regiment leader replied: "Report, we are about to arrive at the military dependents' family assembly area, and will be able to connect with our people soon!"
Wang Xiao said loudly: "You two regiments don't need to worry about anything, just protect our relatives!"
"good!"
…
After the call was hung up, the 5th and 6th Regiments were heading to the military dependents' assembly area in a large number of military vehicles and were about to enter the area.
“Pah, pah, pah!”
At this moment, the street next to us suddenly lit up with strong white lights, illuminating the entire road as bright as day!
The head of the Fifth Regiment was stunned when he saw this scene. Then he shouted with sweat all over his forehead: "No! Something is wrong!"
At this moment, rows of military vehicles made a huge roar and rushed in from both sides of the street, blocking them in the middle of the road.
Soon after, Su Tianbei jumped out of one of the military vehicles, pulled out his pistol, and fired a shot into the air. At the same time, he shouted menacingly into the intercom: "When the battle starts, kill the traitors first! Open fire!"
“Swish, swish, swish!”
In the alleys on both sides of the road, a large number of RPGs were fired, dragging trails of flame and smashing into the military vehicles of the Fifth and Sixth Regiments!
“Boom boom boom!”
Flames appeared and explosions were heard!
At this moment, Gu Baishun also opened the door and jumped out of the military vehicle. Looking at the sea of fire ahead, he turned his head and said to Su Tianbei: "Let the troops push forward! Meet up with Xin Xiaodong at the edge of the city and bury them all here!"
