District 9

Late at night, near the Daqiushan Mountains in Xibo's no-man's land, the Self-Defense Forces and the frontline main force of Wu's mercenary group have all shrunk here, totaling more than 30,000 people.

The Qiushan Mountains can be divided into large Qiushan and Xiaoqiushan. The previous defensive position of the Self-Defense Forces was near the Xiaoqiushan Mountains deep in the no-man's land of Xibo.

After the defeat in the first battle, Wu Tianyin and Xiang Zehao had a mental evaluation of the combat capabilities of the Liberal Party army. They felt that when both sides had equal strength, it would be difficult for their side to defeat the enemy's purely modern offensive in the plains, so retreating to the vicinity of Daqiu Mountain was the best option.

In this way, we can wait for the Sichuan army to enter. Secondly, the Daqiu Mountain range stretches for more than 400 kilometers and is a natural geographical barrier. Fighting guerrilla warfare against the enemy here can reduce the effect of the enemy's modern firepower and effectively slow down the opponent's attack. Rhythm.

But Daqiu Mountain is also the last barrier of Beifengkou. If it is lost, the Liberal Party troops can march straight in and directly attack the hinterland of Beifengkou. The Self-Defense Forces and the Wu mercenary group must also be defeated. Because if they still have the ability to fight, they will definitely defend Daqiu Mountain. Therefore, if the opponent attacks, it means that the Wu faction and the Self-Defense Force will definitely be defeated head-on.

…

In the mountains.

Qin Yu was wrapped in a military coat, with his hands in his cuffs. There was frost on his beard and eyebrows: "Brother Yin, the second battle will still be fought by your Wu faction and the Self-Defense Army. Our Sichuan Army's troops will probably be three It takes more than ten hours to arrive.”

"Did Meng Xi call you?" Wu Tianyin asked.

"Yes." Qin Yu pointed to the rolling mountains and said, "I personally estimate that as long as we can stick here for a week, we will win."

"What about the Lukou Port battlefield?" Wu Tianyin asked with a frown: "Once your Sichuan army retreats, only Liu Weiren's division and Lin's troops will be left over there. They are at a disadvantage in strength. I think it will be difficult for them to penetrate the Feng and He factions. If If the war cannot be ended within a week, I am afraid that Beifengkou cannot be defended."

"Is the combat capability of the Liberal Party troops so strong?" Qin Yu had not been at the scene of the battle before, and the source of all information was very paper-based data.

"It's not that they are too strong, it's that our Wu faction and the Self-Defense Forces are too weak." Wu Tianyin said very objectively: "The other party is taking out the district's wealth to fight with us. How can we fight against it? How many people do Beifengkou have? , how much economy and arms reserves does it have? To be honest, after the first war, I really realized the gap, and I still need to develop...!"

Qin Yu clasped his hands behind his back and replied in a low voice: "We don't need to be too pessimistic. The governor himself ended up, which shows that he has certain confidence in the civil war in the region and must have arranged a backup plan. In addition, Feng Cheng Zhang was captured and fell into Meng Xi's hands. This is also a turning point. Let's take a look at the changes in the area first."

Wu Tianyin looked at Qin Yu when he heard the sound, and cursed silently: "To be honest, I once suspected that you were Governor Gu's illegitimate son. Meng Xi told me that the reason why the Eighth District had not taken action before was because Governor Gu did not We are optimistic about the outcome of this civil war, but in the end District 8 still participated in the war... This old man knows that God’s will is impossible, but he still wants to change your fate against God’s will!”

"Why are you so right in the way you speak now?" Qin Yu replied with a smile: "Don't think so vulgarly about the relationship between people. Our old man... is a great man and a true leader. He Every decision we make is an effort towards unification.”

"Haha." Wu Tianyin licked his chapped lips, looked at Qin Yu and asked, "What is the situation in your family? Have you never thought of looking for your parents?"

"They are all ordinary people." Qin Yu lowered his head and replied in a hoarse voice: "After I became the brigade commander of the mixed brigade, I had more opportunities to be exposed in front of the media, and I have never concealed my family background. , I just hope that one day I can receive a call... and get some information about my relatives. But after so many years, I haven't received any news... Alas, maybe they are gone long ago."

Wu Tianyin was silent for a long time, then reached out and patted Qin Yu on the shoulder: "Your suffering is in the first half of your life, but your fortune is in the second half of your life... There are gains and losses, so be open-minded."

"Fuck, what can I do if I don't want to drive?" Qin Yu looked at the mountains: "I'm used to it."

"Boom!"

While the two were chatting, the sound of huge cannons roared outside the Daqiu Mountains.

Immediately afterwards, Anzi called and informed Wu Tianyin that the Liberal Party's troops had begun a general offensive.

Just a few minutes later, the sound of gunfire rang out everywhere in the Daqiu Mountains, which stretched for more than 400 kilometers in the Xibe No Man's Land.

…

Inside Songjiang City.

Meng Xi sat in the municipal building, frowning and said to Ma Laoer and Bao Jun: "Feng Ji is still delaying, but we can't wait any longer. Bring out some Feng officers from the prisoner camp and let them Call Feng Ji and execute him after the beating."

"Okay." Ma Laoer has no objection to the execution of soldiers, because from the standpoint of the warring parties, the other parties are all participants in the war, and the leading personnel will also pay the price for defeat.

In just a few months, Meng Xi looked as if he had "mature" into a teenager. His expression was serious most of the time, with his brows furrowed and his face full of beard and exhaustion.

"After processing, I'll call Feng Ji again." Meng Xi frowned and said, "We have to make good use of the favorable factors after taking down Songjiang with so much effort."

"Okay, I'll do it." Ma Laoer stood up and took Baojun with him, preparing to leave.

"Report!"

At this moment, a guard walked in, saluted and said to Meng Xi: "Commander-in-Chief, Feng Yunian said that he and Feng Ji talked on the phone and wanted to meet with you."

When Meng Xi heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously and immediately stood up and waved: "Invite him in."

A few minutes later, Feng Yunian stepped into the room and looked at Meng Xi, Ma Laoer and others.

"Hello, Mr. Feng." Meng Xi made an inviting gesture: "Sit over here!"

Feng Yunian bent down and sat down, stepped in and looked at Meng Xi and said, "If the Feng faction withdraws its troops, can Commander Feng be released?"

Here, Feng Yunian uses the term Commander Feng instead of father.

Meng Xi thought for a while and then asked: "Where are you retreating to?"

"Retreat to District 7." Feng Yunian replied bluntly.

"Some time ago, the coalition forces just joined forces to kill the Shensha Corps. Now the Feng faction is retreating to the seventh district. Can the Sand faction accept it? Can the Shen faction generals accept it?" Meng Xi asked with a smile.

"The Feng faction still has more than 30,000 troops. What a temptation. How could the warlords in District 7 not accept it?" Feng Yunian replied calmly.

"Feng Xi surrendered to the Sichuan government. I can make the decision to let Feng Chengzhang go." Meng Xi thought for a while and replied.

"Meng Xi, you are a very sophisticated military politician. If this matter were changed to you, would you agree to Feng Xi's surrender to Sichuan?" Feng Yunian calmly replied: "If you surrender, what else can you say? ? The resentment between the Feng Clan and the Sichuan Mansion has been so deep recently, do you think the generals of the Feng Clan will trust you with their lives?"

Meng Xi was silent.

"I asked Feng Ji, this is his final bottom line." Feng Yunian said in a low voice: "Do you agree or not? Give me an accurate answer."

Meng Xi's brain was running rapidly, thinking about the pros and cons.

…

On the border, in the northwest advance army command camp, Gu Tai'an was wrapped in cotton clothes and sitting in the cold barracks. He held a phone and commanded: "You can move now. Yes, you, Lao Lin, are in charge of Yanbei. Don't hold back on the rest of the area... ….”
