Chapter 878 Saint Paul's

Saint Paul's, the streets.

Several military vehicles sped quickly down the street. Da Xiong, in the passenger seat of one of the vehicles, was reporting the progress to Su Tianyu.

Wu Boxin sat in the back, the medic tending to the gunshot wound on his arm. Old Dong, on the other hand, was receiving much less favorable treatment, tied up like a dead pig and tossed into the trunk.

Meanwhile, outside the perimeter of the city defense headquarters.

The assault team led by Jin Maohui had engaged in fierce fighting with the city defense troops. The combined forces of both sides numbered over ten thousand, and they had been battling fiercely for nearly fifteen minutes.

It was pitch black, and the area was filled with white smoke from smoke grenades, creating a chaotic battlefield.

The assault team was scattered in all directions. They couldn't find the enemy, and the enemy didn't know where they would emerge from, making the front lines extremely chaotic.

Jin Maohui led a force of three to four hundred men, tentatively advancing forward.

"Communicator!" Looking at the chaotic battlefield, Jin Maohui frowned and shouted at the communications soldier.

The communications soldier handed over the device. Jin Maohui connected to the channel and shouted, "Wang Zheng! Where are your men?"

A burst of static crackled through the communicator, followed by Wang Zheng's shouting, "Reporting! My thousand men have been scattered! I only have about two hundred men around me now. There's smoke everywhere, and we can't identify our location. We're surrounded by enemies!"

"Quickly identify your location," Jin Maohui urged. "Report to me as soon as you do!"

"Understood!" Wang Zheng temporarily cut off the communication.

Jin Maohui continued to advance while gathering his troops.

Not far away, Lao Hei was also holding a communicator, leading his troops while shouting, "Hou Guoyu! Where are you? Tell me your location!"

"I don't know either!" Hou Guoyu replied, "But my approximate location should be near the back door of the headquarters compound. The defense is very strong here! But I can't tell you the specific street, it's too chaotic!"

"Don't move around, I'll try to find a way to support you as soon as possible..."

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Just as Lao Hei finished talking with Hou Guoyu, a series of footsteps sounded. The soldiers cautiously raised their automatic rifles, aiming at the direction of the footsteps.

Some figures emerged through the smoke. Lao Hei recognized one of them and shouted, "Don't shoot! It's Bureau Chief Jin!"

"Lao Hei!" Jin Maohui saw Lao Hei and quickly led his troops over, "What's the situation on your side?"

"It's very chaotic..." Before Lao Hei could finish speaking, a burst of intense gunfire erupted nearby.

"Da-da-da!"

Many enemies appeared in the windows of the surrounding buildings, firing at them.

Several soldiers were shot down. Jin Maohui returned fire while shouting, "Retreat, retreat back to the alley we were in earlier!"

The troops quickly retreated, taking cover in the alley, temporarily avoiding the enemy's attack.

Lao Hei wiped the sweat from his face and said to Jin Maohui, "Bureau Chief Jin... this won't work! It's too chaotic right now! The enemy and us are completely mixed up, it's a disgusting street fight! We could fight like this for three days and still not finish!"

Jin Maohui observed the surrounding situation and asked, "What do you have in mind?"

"We can't drag this on, we have to end the battle quickly," Lao Hei said decisively. "We have to find their command headquarters!"

"I know that too," Jin Maohui said, staring at Lao Hei. "I'm looking for their headquarters, but visibility is too low, real-time location systems are being interfered with, and it's dark. Our advance is too hindered."

"I'll figure something out," Lao Hei reloaded his automatic rifle and said, "I'll find out the location of their headquarters! You gather the troops on the periphery and try to concentrate our men as much as possible! We can't fight like this, it's too scattered!"

Jin Maohui thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I'll continue to gather troops, be careful."

The two separated. Lao Hei took out his communicator and contacted Wang Zheng and Hou Guoyu at the same time: "Hou Guoyu, mark your location on the military operations instrument, and then don't move, to avoid interference. Wang Zheng and I will try to converge on your location, but not with too many people, don't bring thousands, otherwise as soon as we move, the enemy will follow!"

"Roger!" Wang Zheng and Hou Guoyu replied simultaneously.

After hanging up, Lao Hei opened the military operations instrument and found a red dot on the map through real-time sharing, but the signal was intermittent and constantly interfered with.

"Follow me! Everyone lower your steps and try not to fire!" Lao Hei ordered, then, using the cover of smoke and darkness, a group of people tiptoed quietly towards Hou Guoyu's location.

Gunfire was all around, and stray bullets flew overhead from time to time. Lao Hei and his men lowered their bodies and continued to advance, braving the stray bullets.

After a few close calls, Lao Hei finally saw Hou Guoyu's troops. Wang Zheng and his men had also arrived. The three squads together numbered about five or six hundred men.

"Lao Hei, do you have a plan?" Hou Guoyu asked while having the medic give him another injection of anesthetic.

"Only one plan right now, to find the enemy's command headquarters," Lao Hei said, panting.

"You mean... the terminal?" Hou Guoyu quickly responded.

"Yes, that's the only way," Lao Hei nodded. "The mission is a bit difficult, but we have no choice! We need to quickly eliminate an enemy command squad!"

Hou Guoyu gritted his teeth and pulled the bolt, "Let's do it!"

As the two were talking, Lao Hei turned to look at Wang Zheng, who was squatting beside him, and asked, "If you can't do it, just say so. Don't go, just pick some elites and leave them for me."

Wang Zheng hugged the gun in his hand, his eyes firm: "I'm already here, how can I not go, let's do it together!"

"Good!" Lao Hei didn't try to persuade him further. So, the three of them finalized the plan and selected two or three hundred elite soldiers to prepare for departure.

Before departing, Lao Hei contacted Jin Maohui again: "Calling headquarters!"

"Speak!" Gunfire was very intense on Jin Maohui's side.

"We are now trying to figure out the location of the command headquarters, don't move for now, just garrison the troops on the periphery and reduce the intensity of the attack, wait for me to come back!!!"

……

Saint Paul's, the Huagong Association headquarters building.

Gwen stood by the window of the headquarters building, looking at the swarming soldiers outside and the corpses everywhere, he couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle, and couldn't help but curse, "Why the hell did I have to come to this place?"

After cursing a few times, Gwen turned around with a gloomy face, went upstairs, came to Huo Dongsheng's office, and pushed the door open directly.

In the office, Huo Dongsheng was talking to several senior members of the Huagong Association. Gwen interrupted them directly and said, "Find a way to break through now, we can't stay in this place!"

Huo Dongsheng frowned and retorted, "Breakthrough? Do you know what the situation is outside? We have five thousand people here now, if we risk a breakthrough, how many people will be left in the end?"

"If you don't break through, they will definitely attack!" Gwen was also anxious, staring at Huo Dongsheng and shouting.

"Shut up! I'm in charge here!" Huo Dongsheng roared directly, "I want to defend this place and wait for Gustav's support!!"
