Jiang Zhou had just finished speaking when he was slapped in the face. The crowd outside kicked open the door and began to provoke the security guards in the courtyard, throwing bricks, tiles, and flasks.
"Bang!"
The security personnel in the hospital fired warning shots first, shouting in Chinese, Burmese and Vietnamese: "Final warning! We are an official Chinese-funded enterprise. Your illegal entry is equivalent to occupying their territory. We have the right to shoot all lawless persons! Get out!!"
"Get out!"
The security members held blast shields, smoke guns, and automatic rifles, forming a horizontal line around the gate and exerting pressure outward.
"We are only looking for people from Longcheng. They killed our compatriots in the Seaview Hotel. Hand them over!"
"Hand it over!"
The people outside shouted and began to put pressure on the inside.
…
The main building has five floors.
Jiangzhou had already escaped under the protection of more than a dozen people. He took the elevator to the first floor and went directly into the basement.
At the same time, in the reception room on the third floor, Su Tianyu and others stared at the scene downstairs in amazement, feeling somewhat trembling in their hearts.
“Fuck!” Su Tianbei swallowed his saliva. “It’s over. Let’s charge! How dare these people be so bold? Aren’t they afraid of being punished later?!”
"They are just a bunch of idiots, small fry, they know nothing!" Su Tianyu looked at the group of people downstairs: "The person behind the scenes may not be in the country anymore!"
"What should we do? Can this company hold on?" Hou Guoyu paused and said, "Or else just rush out!"
"Do you know how many people are outside?" Su Tianyu swallowed his saliva: "If the prince's people can't protect us, then we will die if we go out."
While everyone was talking, Jiangzhou's assistant ran in and shouted urgently, "Mr. Su!"
"Here they come!" Su Tianyu immediately went over and said, "I think the situation is a bit dangerous!"
"We are trying to find a solution to the problem, but many major roads in Hanoi have been blocked and traffic is not allowed. People who support us will not be able to arrive in a short time." The assistant said quickly: "I am here to tell you, don't run away, try to delay time and wait for communication from the upper level!"
"Has there been any feedback from the higher-ups?" Su Tianyu asked the most crucial question.
The assistant did not hide it and immediately replied: "The headquarters is already thinking of a solution."
"How many people are there on our side?" Su Tianyu asked.
"About fifty or sixty people."
"How long will it take?" Hou Guoyu also interjected.
"This... This is hard to say!" The other party shook his head.
Su Tianyu gritted his teeth and turned back to shout, "Fuck it, you can't just take a beating and not fight back! Sister, take your family to the fifth floor, turn off the power, find a room to hide in, and don't come out! Tongji Club, young men, come downstairs with me, we can't let others protect us all the time, come and help us!"
"No, no, you better not go out," the assistant advised, "Let the higher-ups communicate."
"If the other side attacks, we'll all be finished." Su Tianyu waved his hand and replied: "Don't worry, we won't be a burden."
"Do you have a gun?" Hou Guoyu asked.
The assistant hesitated: "Then follow me!"
After everyone finished discussing, Su Tianyu once again instructed the third sister before leaving: "Hurry up and take our people upstairs. Don't come out!"
"Okay!" The third sister nodded.
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Tianyu, Hou Guoyu, the slightly injured Daxiong, Lao Hei and other brothers all followed the assistant and ran downstairs.
…
About 350 kilometers north of Hanoi, there is a camp where the headquarters of the Capital Garrison Corps is located.
The Capital Garrison Corps has three armies with a total strength of more than 70,000 soldiers, and they are equipped with armaments based on the standards of the main forces in the Chinese region, and their combat effectiveness is very strong. Many years ago, the iron-blooded 197th Brigade led by Pu Ming, the blind man's cousin, was organized into the Garrison Corps. It is now also called the 197th Army.
It was already late at night, but the garrison headquarters building was brightly lit.
In the headquarters office, a middle-aged man in his forties, with the rank of general on his shoulders, was looking at a dozen officers in front of him with a gloomy look.
His name was Pu Xingguo. He was the eldest son of Governor Pu Yuan's third wife. He was also the commander of the capital's garrison corps and concurrently the deputy commander-in-chief of the Renmin Army in the Old Triangle area.
Yesterday, Governor Pu died very suddenly. He fell ill at around 5 o'clock, was resuscitated at around 6 o'clock, and died at 10:05. After Pu Xingguo received the news, he was about to return to the city to mourn his father when he received news that two armies from the First and Second War Zones suddenly moved closer to the headquarters. Before he could react, the two armies had already taken their positions. The nearest field division to the headquarters was only more than 20 kilometers away, and this distance was enough for the rocket regiment to fire a salvo.
In the office, Pu Xingguo slammed the table and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Commander, please don't make too many assumptions. During the state funeral, you are not the only one not allowed to return to the city to pay your respects. Other Pu's generals are also waiting for news." A colonel on the other side replied expressionlessly, "This is the commander-in-chief's intention."
Pu Xingguo stood up angrily, his eyes red as he shouted in his native dialect: "My father has passed away, can't I go back to attend the funeral?! What are you afraid of? What is he afraid of?! All the main forces of my garrison are in the defense zone, there is no movement, who are you guarding against? Or who is guarding against me?!"
A dozen officers looked at him in silence.
…
Kun City, Hua District, Southwest Theater Command.
Xiang Jingyang walked into the courtyard, pointed at Xiao Qinglong and ordered: "Let the diplomatic department intervene, be tough, and tell Hanoi directly that there are important guests from our side in Dongsheng Express Company, and ask them to ensure the safety of our personnel."
"Yes!" Xiao Qinglong nodded, then immediately took out his phone and walked aside.
Xiang Jingyang stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, and said in a somewhat dissatisfied tone: "Is this new governor too impatient, or does he not like people getting too close to me?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiang Jingyang's personal mobile phone suddenly rang with a text message alert. He took out his phone and glanced at it, then suddenly frowned and shouted, "Wait a minute!"
Xiao Qinglong turned his head and looked at him.
"No, don't notify the diplomatic department." Xiang Jingyang turned around twice and responded decisively: "Yandao! Coordinate with the navy and notify Yandao to land a regiment from Hanoi Port, right now!"
Xiao Qinglong looked shocked. "This won't work?! During the national funeral, their own troops cannot leave their posts without permission. If we land armed... This... This will cause big trouble."
"Damn it!" Xiang Jingyang cursed in annoyance, and walked around the courtyard again: "I have to think of an excuse... Otherwise I will be scolded... Got it, you do this, you call Dongsheng and ask them to do this."
…
“Bang!”
Inside the Dongsheng Express yard, the security personnel opened fire when they had no way to retreat. Hundreds of the other side rushed into the yard in an instant, and the battle officially began!
