District 9

The route of the mixed brigade is to send troops from the Sichuan area, move to the Jiangzhou area, and then take the newly built light rail train from Jiangzhou to the Eighth District.

In this way, the time for the mixed brigade to reach the battlefield will be greatly shortened. But even so, they marched continuously for nearly three days before they got off the bus and regrouped two hundred kilometers away from Xinyang.

…

It's about eight o'clock in the evening.

The guards at the brigade quickly set up a temporary headquarters. Then Qin Yu, Li Zhan, Daya, Li Shihong, Ou Xiaobin, Ruan Ming, Qi Lin, who had just been transferred back from the southwest line, and a large group of brigade staff gathered together. We held a pre-war meeting together.

"What's going on now?" Qin Yu asked with his hands behind his back.

"The main force of the Gu family, the First Group Army, and the other two divisions, with a total strength of more than 50,000, control the two urban areas of Hucha and Qufu, and are advancing towards Xinyang and Yanbei." Li Zhan handed over the information in his hand After summarizing, he pointed at the projection on the wall with an infrared pen and introduced: "Commander Teng's division crippled the garrison brigade in one day, but then encountered a counterattack by the Self-Defense Forces. The two sides were in a stalemate, and they fought three artillery battles alone. It’s turn.”

Qin Yu looked solemn: "Commander Teng's troops also have 15,000 troops, and their combat effectiveness is quite strong. The Self-Defense Forces were able to hold him off for more than two days. This is a bit unexpected."

"Yes, the Self-Defense Forces are very resolute in guarding Yanbei." Li Zhan nodded: "And the execution ability, combat capabilities, and weapons and equipment are different from what we expected. They are very strong."

"Damn it, it seems that the party and government have spent a lot of resources on the Self-Defense Forces in recent years." Qin Yu looked back at the newly formed sand table: "If Master Teng cannot defeat the Self-Defense Forces in a short time, then our mission is likely to be It is to pass through Xinyang and attack Yanbei from the side."

"Yes." Li Zhan nodded: "But Xinyang...!"

"What's wrong with Xinyang?" Qi Lin asked.

"All the Lin family's troops have been mobilized near Xinyang," Li Zhan glanced at Qin Yu and said bluntly: "If we want to go from here and encounter the Lin family's obstruction, then... we have to open fire."

Everyone in the conference room had strange expressions when they heard this. Qin Yu, on the other hand, showed no emotion and just said calmly: "The Lin family's troops should not open fire in a hurry."

When Li Zhan heard this, he immediately changed the topic: "If we take a detour from Xinyang and march to Yanbei, we are likely to encounter the mercenary groups newly recruited by the Self-Defense Army. There are more than 30,000 troops in this area. .”

"With more than 30,000 people, it is impossible to leave it to us to fight." Daya added: "I guess Uncle Gu will send people over and let us assist in the attack."

"It should be like this." Li Zhan nodded in agreement.

Qin Yu held the table with both hands and said concisely: "Then use this mercenary group as the imaginary enemy first, and come up with an attack plan for me before the order comes."

"Okay." The generals nodded.

…

In the Qufu area, the headquarters of the Eighth District and the First War Zone were temporarily moved here to avoid enemy counterattacks.

In the wartime command room, Gu Taixian was sitting on a chair, with his head raised and dripping eye drops. From the beginning of the war to now, he had slept no more than three hours, and he couldn't bear it anymore after staying up late and fighting continuously. He contracted conjunctivitis and his eyes were as red and swollen as steamed buns.

"Commander."

The staff officer walked over from the side and asked softly: "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Gu Taixian put down the medicine bottle, frowned and asked, "How is Fatty Teng's attack?"

"Not ideal." The staff officer shook his head and responded: "The combat effectiveness of the Self-Defense Army is much stronger than that of the garrison. They fight very tenaciously and only stick to the fortifications and do not attack outside. Therefore, Fatty Teng is in a position to attack. It's very uncomfortable. There are more than 10,000 people, and more than 4,000 people have suffered injuries and illnesses alone. The hospital of the First Army is now full, and the logistics side is urgently building outdoor wards in the hospital."

Gu Taixian paused for a moment, and just as he was about to reply, his personal cell phone rang. He looked down at the caller ID and walked to the side with the phone: "Hello? Yes, um, Fatty Teng's attack is blocked..."

The staff officer stood aside and did not follow, but waited quietly.

Gu Taixian made a phone call for two or three minutes before heading back and asked bluntly: "Where are Tan Zhongshu's troops now?"

"He ordered the division to move to the call position and is waiting for orders." the staff member replied truthfully.

"Send an order for him to lead troops up and assist Fatty Teng in attacking the Self-Defense Forces." Gu Taixian gave the order.

"Okay." The staff officer nodded.

"Also, have Qin Yu's troops arrived?" Gu Taixian asked.

"Already arrived." The staff officer nodded and replied: "They are outside Xinyang and have already joined the battalion I sent."

"Okay, I understand, you can go make arrangements with Tan Zhongshu." Gu Taixian waved his hand.

"Yes!" The staff officer left.

Gu Taixian sat at his desk again, thought for a moment, and then contacted Qin Yu.

…

Mixed into Brigade Headquarters.

Qin Yu picked up the encrypted military phone, put his hands on his hips and said, "Yes, we are already here."

"Does it need to be fixed?" Gu Taixian asked.

"No need, you can join the battle at any time." Qin Yu replied concisely.

"Okay, let's enter the battlefield."

"Where is our army's target?" Qin Yu asked.

"The enemy target of your army is Guo Yu's New 1st Army." Gu Taixian immediately gave instructions: "His army has more than 30,000 people, two divisions and one brigade. The task I give you is to attack Yanbei The north side holds him back and prevents him from entering the battlefield."

When Qin Yu heard this, his pressure doubled instantly. Because the order given to him by Gu Taixian was completely different from what he had expected, and although the mixed brigade definitely had division-level combat effectiveness, facing an army alone was a bit confusing.

"Just hold on. If you can't hold it, you can also retreat and pull the opponent's troops." Gu Taixian added again: "I only need three days. After three days, I will send troops to reinforce you and capture the New First Army in one fell swoop. . During this period, all the weapons and equipment that were shot down, as well as the prisoners of war, will be given to you."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu immediately replied: "Yes, I will definitely hold him back for three days!"

"that's all."

After saying that, the two ended the call.

five minutes later.

Li Zhan looked at Qin Yu in disbelief and asked: "A new army?! This... this pressure is too much. Their total strength is more than half of ours. Once they fall into hand-to-hand combat, it will be difficult for us to get out of the battlefield."

"Second Uncle Gu must have his reasons for arranging this." Qin Yu frowned and said: "There are at least tens of thousands of people in the Gu family who have not moved, and I can't understand what they are going to do. Forget it, don't think about it, let's fight first Let’s talk later.”

…

It's about one o'clock in the morning.

The four regiments of the mixed brigade suddenly set off towards Xinyang.

In Songjiang, in the municipal office, Shen Yin heard the sound and laughed: "Hahaha, the father-in-law and the son-in-law met, damn, this fight is interesting! Haha!"

————————

My eyes still haven't improved today. I started typing at 4pm and have written two chapters so far.

I have to go to the hospital for a review tomorrow morning, so I owe one chapter tonight and tomorrow morning, and I owe two chapters for one, for a total of four chapters.

There are too many foreshadowings and high points in this plot of King Qin that have not yet been written, so I personally have to ensure that I am in good condition and tell the story completely. I hope everyone will understand. I’ll update on Monday, but there will be no update tomorrow morning, that’s it, thank you all.
