District 9

Near the northeastern border of Sichuan Province, inside the 122nd Brigade Headquarters.

He Dachuan, with his clothes open and his arms akimbo, stood beside the command table and shouted: "The second regiment, the third regiment, return to the formation quickly. The farther regiment, the fourth regiment, after gathering the troops, set off immediately, directly Join the large forces in Jiangzhou."

"Brigade commander," the chief of staff stepped forward: "Combat meeting...?"

"It's too late. The other side is prepared. Commander Qin gave a death order, asking us to fire first before the other side takes action." He Dachuan immediately replied: "Gather the people from the staff and open fire on the road later." Let’s have a battle meeting.”

"Okay." The chief of staff nodded.

The chief of staff of the 122nd Brigade was named Jia Bing, who was recommended by Meng Xi to He Dachuan. He Dachuan then asked Qin Yu to ask for the person. After this operation, the headquarters sent this person down.

Sure enough, after joining the 122nd Brigade, Jia Bing was very compatible with He Dachuan in terms of temperament and temperament. The relationship between the two was also very good. In terms of military energy, Jia Bing also helped the illiterate brigade commander.

The combat mission came too urgently and the troops had to set off immediately. After He Dachuan gave the order in the room, he immediately rushed out of the brigade headquarters and shouted: "The logistics units should not move around in the courtyard. After the soldiers are assembled, give it to me." Bring the basic combat equipment and set off immediately. Subsequent military supplies will be sent to the front line one after another by the logistics unit. Damn it, we haven’t fought in more than a year, are we all gone? Hurry, hurry!"

When the logistics battalion commander heard this, he was scolding himself, and immediately threw himself into the work, directing the troops to transport military equipment inside and outside the warehouse.

From the time Qin Yu made the call to the time He Dachuan led the troops in person, it only took more than forty minutes. It can be seen that it is absolutely reasonable for Lao He to be the brigade commander. This person not only understands the spirit, but also has strong execution ability.

…

That night.

He Dachuan's brigade set out secretly within the Sichuan border. After several hours of running around, it arrived in Jiangzhou. He immediately formulated a combat plan with the troops of the two regiments of the Chen family, and immediately rushed to Ludi.

Along the way, He Dachuan did not dare to stop for a moment, because the chief of staff of the Sichuan Army Command personally called him three or four times to ask where his troops were. This aspect proves how seriously the upper management attaches importance to this operation.

at the same time.

In the hinterland of Shandong District, after Fu Zhen finished doing ideological work for Lao Zhan, he originally planned to quickly withdraw to Jiangzhou as planned. However, on their way back, they discovered that martial law had been imposed in many areas of Shandong District, especially near Dongfeng Town. It is to restrict the circulation of people. Private cars are not allowed to drive on all roads, and there are guards at all intersections.

The risk of running away was too great. After careful consideration, Fu Zhen led everyone to hide in a large field near the side of Jiangzhou, preparing to wait for the gunfire before letting others pick him up and leave.

…

It's about five o'clock in the afternoon.

In Dongfeng Town, Lu District, a regiment commander of the New First Division of Lu District called his four core officers into his office.

After the door closed, the regiment leader whispered: "In a moment, you will take two companies and set off from Dongfeng Town and approach the enemy military supply station No. 03 in District 8 outside Jinmen Port. There is a sentry there. You have arrived. , they must have ordered the troops not to pass, and you are going to force in and search for five people from the Lu District who were kidnapped by the bandits. If they don't agree, then open fire, kill them all, and return to the Lu District immediately. "

An officer took a puff of cigarette and asked in a low voice, "What if their troops chase us out?"

"This No. 03 supply station is quite far away from where their main force is stationed. You can leave after the fight. When they chase them out, you will all come back. And I will send two battalions behind, disguised as transporting military supplies. Our logistics unit will protect you from the side." The regiment leader sat on the sofa and said, "Even if you are really entangled, you will definitely be able to go home."

The smoking officer used to be one of the leaders of the big profit faction in Dongfeng Town, and his face was full of flesh. He raised his head and looked at the regiment leader, frowned and asked: "Why not let the sand troops do this kind of thing? We killed the soldiers of the Gu family in District 8, and if there is retaliation... it will be our brothers who suffer."

"There's nothing we can do about it. Once we're incorporated, we have to obey orders. We have to do whatever the superiors arrange." The group leader replied helplessly.

"Damn it, I told you not to join the Zhou Department at the beginning. There are a lot of things going on here, but eldest brother didn't listen." The officer put out his cigarette butt, stood up and replied, "Okay, let's go and do this."

"Gu Xi has become overbearing over the years. They will never tolerate the shooting of all the soldiers in a supply depot." The regiment leader also stood up and said with his hands behind his back: "We in the Lu District are probably going to fight a big war. .”

"Let's take it one step at a time." The smoking officer replied, "I'm going to gather the troops and set off immediately."

"good!"

After everyone's deliberations were completed, they began to implement the orders from above.

At the same time, Sha Xuan also received further combat orders and began to secretly mobilize troops to the edge of Lu District.

…

Around nine o'clock in the evening.

Two companies of the First Division of the Lu District drove out of Dongfeng Town at extremely high speed in normal marching trucks.

From the outside, there is nothing unusual about these military trucks, but in fact the carriages are filled with soldiers, weapons and ammunition, and even small-scale weapons of destruction.

Luhuai, inside the Zhou Clan headquarters.

Sha Zhongxing sat on a mahogany chair and drank tea, saying nothing.

Diagonally opposite, Xu Hancheng, who had just returned from Jiujiang, said with a chuckle: "If the Lu District is fighting together, many people will get involved. By then, the Federation of the Eight Districts will definitely not be able to continue."

"Haha!" A general on the left laughed when he heard the sound, and intervened: "It's best. If the Lu District fights together, it will make Gu Tai'an angry to death. That will save trouble. This old bastard is alive, and the three The region has never been quiet. Damn it, everyone has been developing independently for so many years, and the people have not starved to death, and the region has not stagnated. He has to create some kind of unification to make everyone listen to him. How can this be done? What?"

"Yes, the most ideal situation at present is that as soon as the war starts in the Lu District, Gu Tai'an will die directly before the Sichuan government can warm up and enter the battlefield. By then, the interest groups on the opposite side will no longer be able to suppress them. , that would be interesting. We can be stable for at least ten years, do you believe it?" Someone echoed.

"Ten years? I can't stop watching." The general raised his eyebrows and said: "If I were Chen Zhongren, Gu Taixian, or Zhou Zhengmin, then as long as Lao Gu dies, no one will be able to lead me. These people have heavy troops in their hands. With that, Why should we listen to Lin Yaozong? When Lao Gu attacked District 8, he didn’t even dare to fart first. Who can he lead with such a person? "

Zhou Xingli listened to everyone's discussion with a smile on his face and did not say anything to stop him.

Sha Zhongxing did not communicate with anyone, and only asked the adjutant: "Please ask, how are the preparations over there..."

…

Along the highway outside Lu District, two companies of convoys were traveling.

In the sky, a row of small unmanned reconnaissance aircraft flew past.

Less than a second later, in the command camp of the 122nd Brigade of the Sichuan Army, a technical officer immediately stood up and shouted: "Report to the brigade commander, about two companies of troops were found ahead."

He Dachuan just thought about it briefly and said: "Damn it, they came to my door before I even moved? Inform the artillery battalion and let me shoot two shells first to clear the way for the main force to warm up."

Upon hearing this, the chief of staff immediately persuaded: "Our tactical target is not these two companies. The main force can wait for them to pass by, and then we will conduct a penetrating attack. If we fire now, the other party will definitely react..."

"These two companies are just here to stir up trouble, not to mention they are already face to face. If you go further, the other party's investigation unit will not be free, and they will definitely find us." He Dachuan rolled his eyes, Full of bandit temperament, he said: "Sooner or later, we will fire this artillery, so do it however you feel comfortable. Kill two companies first to help the brothers. Inform the artillery battalion and let me fire!"

…

Thirty seconds later.

The two companies, who were preparing to provoke a military conflict, were walking on the road normally, but suddenly a deafening sound came from the left direction, like the sound of artillery, but accompanied by the sound of harsh gas explosions.

These two companies used to be private armed forces. How could they know what the sound of a salvo of rocket launchers was?

The sound started, and the team was stunned.

"Rumble...!"

The shells fell collectively, and a sea of ​​​​fire ignited from the north side of Lu.
