Chapter 10:30 PM

At ten-thirty in the evening, in the conference room of the Logistics Command, Jiang Yuanzhen looked at the people in the room and said in a calm voice, "Everyone, don't panic. I'll state two points first. The First District will not only support two divisions. Please rest assured that as long as we are caught in a melee, the main force will definitely press up in time! And it's not just the First Faction; the Second Faction will also come."

Saying this, Jiang Yuanzhen observed everyone's expressions and continued, "Secondly, don't worry about the attitude of the headquarters. Let me be clear, Commander Tan's intention is obvious. He wants to use Lao Li's team to play against the First District, secure the Dragon City regime, and become a border king who controls both military and government. That's why his attitude is wavering. However, as long as the First District exerts strong military pressure, he will still make the right choice. He doesn't dare to challenge the Great District! There's even less reason to do so after becoming the deputy commander! Think about it, how many soldiers does Lao Li have? What can he do by being tied to Lao Li? The situation is already very clear. As long as the First District's support troops arrive, the situation in Dragon City will definitely stabilize. Commander Tan will also naturally stand with the First District."

The crowd seemed somewhat tempted, but some were still hesitant.

Jiang Yuanzhen knew what they wanted, so he threw out the final condition: "We are all meritorious officials. I won't hide it from you. After pacifying Dragon City this time, all the generals on the action list will be promoted at least one rank and will be the core backbone of Dragon City in the future. To put it more directly, even if Commander Tan becomes the military and government leader, the higher-ups will not allow Dragon City to have only one voice!"

These words were very blunt. Although everyone remained silent, their minds became active because what Lao Jiang said made sense, and he had taken the lead in doing so.

Jiang Yuanzhen struck while the iron was hot: "Gentlemen, you know me. What kind of person is Lao Jiang? If this matter wasn't reliable, how could I have jumped out and taken on this banner?"

Everyone thought for a moment and finally nodded slowly.

Yang Biao straightened his back at this time and said, "Everyone heard what Lao Jiang said, right? I told you not to panic and just do your job well. Now that you've made a choice, don't hesitate any longer, lest you end up losing everything."

Jiang Yuanzhen turned his head and gave him an approving look.

Then, he looked at everyone and said, "Gentlemen, the security of the First District's reinforcement channel, and the gate of my Logistics Command, are entrusted to you. I am now going to press the troops forward and completely destroy Su Tianyu's troops!"

"Don't worry, there will definitely be no problem with the reinforcement channel!"

"Yes, now that we've decided to work together, we will definitely do our best."

"…!"

Everyone spoke up to guarantee, and the previous panic and dissatisfaction were gone. Jiang Yuanzhen also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and was about to give a few more instructions.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

"Rumble!"

At this moment!

Suddenly, several violent explosions came from outside, shaking the command post slightly. Before everyone could react, there was another loud bang outside!

Everyone was a little surprised and got up, shouting.

"What happened?"

"Whose troops are shelling?"

"…!"

Jiang Yuanzhen was also stunned and shouted loudly, "Guard, what's the situation outside?"

"Whoop—"

What answered him was the alarm in the base. The piercing siren stimulated the hearts of every general, and they couldn't help but turn their heads and look out the window with pale faces.

At this time, in the open field outside the compound, densely packed soldiers suddenly appeared. They were all wearing the uniforms of the First District garrison with red cloths wrapped around their arms.

These soldiers were well-trained and extremely fast, like soldiers from the sky, rushing into the defense line in the blink of an eye and launching an attack on Jiang's Logistics Command.

Not only that, but the other side also had mortar units!

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Another series of explosions sounded, and a large number of shells landed in the garrison, turning the ground over with a layer of black soil.

The garrison soldiers were completely defeated, hastily organizing a counterattack, but they were retreating steadily under the enemy's surprise attack.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Yuanzhen's heart shook violently, and he couldn't help but turn his head and scan the people in the room with a gloomy gaze.

The generals in the conference room also looked flustered, unable to see anything suspicious.

At this moment, the conference room door was opened, and the head of the guard regiment strode in, "Commander! Please leave here with us immediately! The garrison is under attack!"

Jiang Yuanzhen couldn't help but curse, "Damn it, the enemy is so close, why didn't you find out?"

The head of the guard regiment hurriedly explained, "The problem is not on our side, it's the guard area on the rear side. Someone must have opened a gap for them!"

Jiang Yuanzhen gritted his teeth, knowing that now was not the time to argue about these things, and waved his arm, "Go, go, retreat first!"

The officers hurriedly followed, rushing out of the command post under the cover of the guard regiment.

Yang Biao strained his neck and shouted outside, "Where's the guard platoon leader! Come here quickly! Protect us as we leave!"

…

At this time, the entire garrison was in chaos. Soldiers from both sides were fighting each other on the periphery, and the sound of gunfire and artillery was constant.

The two hundred or so guards who had previously been left outside also rushed into the command post compound with a whoosh.

The guard soldiers who had just taken their places in the courtyard immediately stepped forward to block them.

"Retreat!"

"You can't go in!"

An officer in the guard regiment became anxious, kicked an security soldier to the ground, and cursed, "Are you stupid? The sound of gunfire is already ringing out, and our commander is still inside! You won't let us in?"

The security soldier also felt that this response made sense. Yes, their commander was inside, how could the guard unit not rush in?

The two sides were friendly forces, and in addition, the other side had a large number of guards, so they couldn't stop them at all. Therefore, a large number of guards, braving the artillery fire, rushed into the courtyard, looking for their commanders.

At this moment, Jiang Yuanzhen and others had just run out of the command post and arrived in the courtyard.

A guard pushed his hat and shouted, pointing in their direction, "Division Commander Yang is over here! Quick! Protect the division commander!"

With a whoosh, many guards immediately left the crowd and ran quickly towards them. The remaining guards also dispersed, heading to their respective commanders.

Gunfire, shouts, footsteps, the entire compound was in chaos!

And in this chaos, more than twenty guards were quietly approaching Jiang Yuanzhen's direction!

"Doo doo doo!"

On the periphery, the sound of the charge horn was already resounding, and densely packed soldiers with red cloths tied around their arms were attacking Jiang's Logistics Command like crazy.

There were two regiments around the command post, but no stupid commander would gather all his forces in one courtyard during a military defense. Generally, they would spread out along the center point, each with its own guard duties.

Jiang Yuanzhen secretly summoned the garrison allies here because he didn't want outsiders to know, because he wanted to rebel but didn't want to leave a handle for Tan Hengqiang, and his inner emotions were too contradictory and hesitant, so there were not many troops here!

The soldiers on the periphery quickly cleared the outer guard units and pushed forward with overwhelming force!

…

In the courtyard, Jiang Yuanzhen was sweating profusely, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Defense, defense! Everyone, don't panic! Key officers, retreat first!"

At this moment, in the crowd, Qiu Ge, disguised as a guard, suddenly raised his head and shouted, "Jiang Yuanzhen!"

Jiang Yuanzhen turned his head and saw a guard pointing a gun at him. He immediately felt his scalp tingle!

"Bang, bang!"

Two shots rang out, and two guards next to Jiang Yuanzhen instantly fell into a pool of blood.

"Whoosh!"

At the same time, more than twenty An-faction soldiers disguised as guards untied their uniforms at the same time, revealing the explosives wrapped around their waists!!

"Whoosh!"

These twenty or so people ignored the other guard soldiers and rushed towards Jiang Yuanzhen!

"Fire!!"

"Bang, bang…!"

Jiang Yuanzhen's guards instantly opened fire, killing four An-faction soldiers who were charging forward on the spot!!

"Everyone, don't move, kneel down for me, or we'll all die together!"

"Open fire!"

"Bang, bang…!"

The scene was extremely chaotic. An An-faction soldier, after being shot in the chest, directly rushed into the crowd and detonated the explosives!

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, blood mist filled the air, and a row of guard soldiers fell to the ground!

Jiang Yuanzhen was knocked down by the shock wave and fell clumsily at the entrance of the command post!

"Whoosh!"

The An-faction soldiers surrounded him, showing off the explosives on their bodies, and shouted at the other guards, "Are you all tired of living?! Get lost!"

"Kneel down!!"

"Do you want your commander to die?! Hands on your heads, drop your weapons!"

"…!"

The distance between the two sides was shortened, and no one dared to fire anymore!

Qiu Ge took the lead, stepped on Jiang Yuanzhen's head, and cursed in a low voice, "You, like you, dare to say that from today onwards, there will be no An-faction in Dragon City anymore??! What did you understand, you jumped out?!"

Jiang Yuanzhen, with his head stepped on, turned his head to look at Division Commander Yang and the others not far away and cursed, "Damn it! You dare to sell me out? A bunch of fence-sitters!!! Useless trash!"
