Chapter 10 Saint Paul

Ten PM, Saint Paul City, southern district.

Under the cloak of night, a large number of military vehicles parked on the outskirts of the city, blocking streets and setting up barricades.

Thousands of soldiers wearing Saint Paul City uniforms were dispersing the residents of the southern district.

Soldiers in groups stormed into residential buildings, persuading residents to leave. Those who cooperated were escorted out immediately. Those who didn't were knocked down with gun butts, dragged out by their legs, and thrown onto military trucks.

Civilized Saint Paul City never wasted words when it came to such matters!

The shops on both sides of the street were smashed open, and soldiers entered, driving people out while helping themselves to whatever they could grab.

Anyway, the war had started, and these losses were impossible to calculate. The unfortunate civilians had no say under the threat of guns and cannons.

The streets were filled with vehicles forced to leave, and residents fleeing in disarray. Some didn't even have time to put on clothes, wearing only vests and underpants as they ran with the crowd.

"Mom..." A little girl of seven or eight, separated from her family, stood at the street corner, wailing.

A soldier walked over, picked up the girl roughly, and threw her onto a military truck, not caring whether she lived or died.

There were also voices of resistance in the vicinity, gunshots ringing out, and the entire city descended into chaos.

…

Late at night, nearing midnight, Saint Paul City, southern border.

Su Tianyu was still standing in the observation post, continuing to watch the changes on the battlefield. Two platoons of soldiers stood beside him, each carrying guns and nuclear warheads, protecting his safety.

Soon, Su Tianyu noticed that the battlefield, which had been somewhat deadlocked, suddenly changed.

Looking out, rows of armored vehicles from the Third Division were moving out from the rear battle line, forming more than a dozen long columns, advancing towards the enemy's positions in a dispersed manner.

Behind the armored vehicles were even more groups of armed pickup trucks, and a dense mass of soldiers like a tidal wave.

A large number of follow-up troops were pressing forward, a ten-thousand-strong charge, giving off a sense of決戰 (juézhàn, decisive battle)!

"What does Division Commander Xin mean by this?" Hou Guoyu, who was beside him, was a little puzzled and couldn't help asking, "After testing the waters for two hours, he's going all in?!"

Su Tianyu was also a little puzzled, because he saw that Xin Xiaodong had even brought up the rear support troops, leaving no one behind on their own positions, pressing them all forward.

"Should we ask?" Hou Guoyu asked tentatively.

Su Tianyu waved his hand, his face calm, and said, "The commander understands the changes on the battlefield better than we do. He must have smelled blood. Let's not ask, asking will only put pressure on him."

Hearing this, Hou Guoyu couldn't help but sigh, "You really dote on our Division Commander Xin!"

"Among all the armed forces under our command, there are only a handful of young generals who have received higher military education," Su Tianyu frowned and replied, "If I don't cultivate him, who else can I cultivate?! He's a bit狂 (kuáng, arrogant), but he's got the goods."

"If we don't kill Huo Dongsheng, we swear not to return to the capital!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, tens of thousands of people erupted in deafening shouts of killing!

At the same time, the loud charge sounded in each column, and the Third Division, as if injected with chicken blood, accelerated again during the charge. Hundreds of armored vehicles crashed directly into the eastern position of the enemy's First Division!

Seeing this scene, everyone's scalps went numb.

Su Tianyu pointed to the front line of the battlefield and turned to say, "Look! This is the difference between the regular army and the private armed forces!! Ten thousand people charging, the formation is not chaotic at all. When the mechanized infantry regiment enters the battlefield, a line is a line, so neat!"

"Boom boom...!"

The earth stirred with dust and smoke. The ten-thousand-strong army only attacked the enemy's eastern position, with overwhelming momentum.

…

Twelve o'clock sharp, Third Division Operations Command.

Xin Xiaodong stood in front of the sand table. Seeing that the troops had all pressed forward, he immediately ordered, "Inform the Blackwater Corps helicopter group and ask them to immediately follow up with the main force and strike at the enemy's eastern position!! Tell them to sweep hard!! Press on the line, maintain an attack distance of one hundred meters with the ground troops, and continue to advance!"

"Yes!" The staff officer replied immediately.

A minute later, at the temporary air force base of the Blackwater Corps, rows of soldiers raised command flags, signaling!

"Tututu..."

The propellers of hundreds of helicopters turned simultaneously, driving a violent airflow, and immediately took off, flying towards the enemy's position!

The distance to the enemy's position was not very far. In less than five minutes, the helicopter group had already arrived in the combat area.

"嗖嗖嗖 (Suō suō suō)!"

Air-to-ground missiles carried on the wings of one helicopter after another began to roar, forming a dense rain of bullets, continuously washing the enemy's position.

…

At the same time.

In the position of the First Division of Gustav, the division commander was hiding in the trench, pressing his steel helmet, avoiding the artillery fire.

Next to him, the newly built combat command post had been炸 (zhà, bombed) into ruins!

Looking at the surging attacking troops and the helicopter group overhead, the division commander's mentality exploded, and he shouted, "Quick, get me through to the commander-in-chief!"

Soon the call connected, and Gustav's voice sounded, "Hello?"

The division commander hunched over, covered in dirt, and shouted, "Reporting, General! The enemy's Third Division suddenly launched a general attack on the right wing of my position. There are helicopter groups in the sky, and at least ten thousand troops are attacking on the ground. My position is continuously falling. I request the Second Division to immediately move closer to my position…!"

Gustav was silent for a long time and replied, "The Second Division cannot provide support, because the enemy's Blackwater Corps has not taken any action. If they leave the defense area, the west side will be empty, and the enemy's mechanized infantry regiment can rush into the city in less than an hour. You have a division of troops, and the enemy has a division of troops. The combat conditions are equal. I don't care what method you use, you must hold off the enemy's attack until five in the morning before you can retreat!"

"Yes!"

The division commander gritted his teeth and replied. He hung up the phone with a thousand kinds of helplessness in his heart, turned around and roared, "Immediately notify the troops in the rear positions to move forward and press all of them on the enemy's attack line!! We have no retreat, we can only start a decisive battle with this group of Easterners!"

…

Saint Paul City, somewhere on the border. dafengxiaoshuo.com

Four or five military trucks quietly drove along a remote path. In these pickup trucks, two hundred soldiers from the anti-terrorism team, who had changed into Saint Paul City soldiers' uniforms, were gently摇晃 (yáohuàng, swaying) with the bumpy vehicle.

Da Xiong held his gun, also sitting among these soldiers.

"Squeak!"

The vehicle stopped in front of a dense forest. Da Xiong opened his eyes and shouted to the other team members, "Everyone get out of the car, check your equipment!"

The soldiers rushed out of the carriage in a swarm, quickly assembled, and checked their combat readiness.

Thirty seconds later.

Da Xiong lowered his head and shouted into the walkie-talkie on his chest, "Proceed according to the scheduled plan! Quickly approach the target, quickly!"

…

At the same time.

A passenger plane took off from the southwest region of Hua and headed straight for Panama City.
