Chapter 1 Aftermath

One day later, at the rebel army's forward base.

This base was less than 350 kilometers away from Sri Lanka. At this moment, Bahiaqiao, the leader of the Freedom Party in the Lao Mo region and commander of the rebel army, was sitting in his military camp, eating tender steak and drinking high-end red wine.

Bahiaqiao was about sixty years old, wearing a general's uniform, his face covered with a thick beard, but topped with a large bald head.

On the walls of the room hung rows of LED screens, broadcasting the movement of troops on the front lines.

In the picture, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and dense military vehicles were stirring up dust as they marched towards Sri Lanka in three directions.

And the soldiers in the screen all wore red military caps on their heads. Therefore, these troops were also known as the Red Hat Army.

Bahiaqiao picked up the red wine and took a big gulp.

After a while, Bahiaqiao's adjutant walked in, stood beside him respectfully, and whispered, "Commander, Kang Dinghuang from District One has arrived."

Bahiaqiao put down his knife and fork and said happily, "Quick, invite my old friend in!"

"Yes!"

The adjutant quickly left the military camp. After two or three minutes, Kang Dinghuang pushed the door open and entered.

Bahiaqiao's eyes fell on him, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Dear Kang, you always look so travel-worn. Come, sit down and enjoy the food with me."

With that, Bahiaqiao clapped his hands, and the adjutant next to him immediately came over and placed a set of cutlery in front of Kang Dinghuang.

Kang Dinghuang thought for a moment and did not refuse. It was not the first time he had greeted this general and understood his habits.

After sitting down, Kang Dinghuang looked at Bahiaqiao and asked, "I came here to ask you, Commander, when are we going to start the attack?"

Bahiaqiao picked up the knife and fork again and pointed to the surrounding screens: "You see, our troops are moving towards the Boli area. I plan to launch an attack on Sri Lanka in two days!"

Kang Dinghuang thought for a moment and couldn't help asking, "In that case, will it give the Sri Lankan People's Army enough time to prepare? Should we bring the attack plan forward?"

Bahiaqiao smiled and said, "Oh, my dear Kang. Politically, I have always been optimistic about you. But militarily, your experience may not be so rich, and even a little too impatient. Come, take a look, hundreds of thousands of our armed forces are advancing. But compared with Sri Lanka and the official army, our equipment and the resilience of our troops are worse. Therefore, we need to complete the assembly first and advance with an absolute advantage in strength! This is the only way to ensure that we can gain an absolute advantage at the beginning of the war!"

Kang Dinghuang thought about it carefully and felt that he had less experience in this area, so he defaulted to the other party's statement.

Bahiaqiao reached out and patted Kang Dinghuang heavily on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Hehe, don't worry, I have already held a military combat meeting. Three days, we will liberate Sri Lanka!"

Kang Dinghuang nodded slowly: "I hope everything goes well."

Bahiaqiao was very happy: "Of course, at this time we need to drink some red wine!"

With that, he clapped his hands, and the adjutant immediately stepped forward and poured red wine into the two's glasses.

Kang Dinghuang picked up the wine glass, and a smile appeared on his face: "Cheers to our long-term cooperation and friendship."

"You're right, my friend!"

The two clinked glasses and drank it all.

...

At the same time, on a certain highway.

The Wang family's motorcade was speeding along the road in an orderly manner, raising billowing smoke.

They were now very close to Dragon City, and they could vaguely see the sentry post belonging to Dragon City ahead.

Wang Xiao sat in the car, withdrew his gaze from the distance, took out his mobile phone and called Jiang Zhou again: "Young Master Jiang, we are almost there, our troops need to apply to enter the city."

Jiang Zhou thought for a while and said, "I need to fight for the consent of the administrative faction on this matter. You'd better settle down outside the city, behind Xin Xiaodong's defense zone first, and I will communicate here first."

Wang Xiao nodded: "No problem, I'll wait for your news."

The two ended the call, and the motorcade turned around and headed for the defense zone where Xin Xiaodong's department was located.

...

In the evening, near Sri Lanka.

Zhao Weihu, wearing a worn-out military coat, personally came to the front line, stood in an observation post, and looked into the distance with binoculars.

This observation post was less than 50 kilometers away from the Boli area, the gateway to Sri Lanka.

The Boli area was occupied by the rebel army, and there were many troops stationed there, and there were frequent military frictions with Sri Lanka.

At this time, Zhao Weihu hadn't slept much for several days. His face was a little sallow, and his lips were a little chapped, but he was very energetic.

In Zhao Weihu's sight, a large number of military vehicles were moving with dust, and batches of soldiers wearing red hats were being transported to the Boli area.

Putting down the binoculars, Zhao Weihu couldn't help cursing: "Damn it, this time Bahiaqiao has taken out all his family assets."

Fei Pingsheng stood next to him and sighed: "Yeah, it feels like they are very well prepared this time."

A staff officer also said: "According to our analysis, they will complete the assembly and launch an attack in two days at most!"

Zhao Weihu nodded: "Almost, I guess that's about the time."

Another staff officer couldn't help but interjected: "Damn it, this Bahiaqiao said at the military combat meeting that he wants Sri Lanka in three days!! And to reach the western capital of Lao Mo in five days!!"

Zhao Weihu was stunned: "What did he say?"

The staff officer repeated it again: "He said he would liberate Sri Lanka in three days and reach the western capital in five days! Although this is a bit arrogant, hundreds of thousands of troops... are indeed coming aggressively!"

Zhao Weihu put his hands in his sleeves and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Damn it! He deserves to say that?! When my troops were pressing down on the border, he didn't advance an inch in three years!! Now District One has set him up with cannons! He doesn't know who he is anymore!! Liberate Sri Lanka in three days, huh? Then I will liberate Boli tonight!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Weihu glanced at the generals present and shouted very suddenly: "Notify the Second Army, all heavy armored units are on standby, and everyone is lightly armed! Three hours later, launch an attack on the northern defense line of Boli! I don't want anything else. Within three hours, we must advance fifty kilometers and directly insert into the ribs of their hundreds of thousands of troops!!"

An officer next to him asked cautiously: "Commander, isn't this a bit risky?"

Zhao Weihu glanced at him and said very bluntly: "How can there be no risk in fighting? Giving them three days to gather hundreds of thousands of troops will make the battle impossible to fight! The total casualties will definitely be higher than if we take the initiative to attack!! Don't think about it, take advantage of the fact that their main force hasn't formed a camp yet and directly stab them in the ribs!!"

Fei Pingsheng thought for a while and said, "Okay, then let me go."

Zhao Weihu nodded: "Okay!"

...

As darkness fell, two or three thousand soldiers of the Second Army silently lay on the ground, ambushing in their respective attack areas.

Soon, the company commanders of each company began to speak, while all the soldiers remained silent, listening to the commander-in-chief's speech.

All the soldiers were collectively silent, waiting for that familiar voice to sound!

"Crack!"

A burst of microphone static sounded, and everyone held their breath!

"This battle will determine the fate of overseas Chinese!!! After more than ten years of accumulation, my Chi Army has grown from a mere few hundred people to nearly one hundred thousand of the current People's Army!! We have been waiting for this charge signal today!! All combat units of the Second Army, listen to my orders, get your guns and horses ready, and start the war on the eastern front!! Tonight, it's either the enemy or us. We won't retreat until we smash the enemy's hundreds of thousands of camps and chase Bahiaqiao out of his bed!! Start the war!!"

"Woo woo woo--"

Immediately afterwards, a loud bugle call sounded!

Two or three thousand soldiers, carrying their weapons, rushed out of the ambush area, like black waves, heading straight for the battlefield.

Twenty minutes later, fierce gunfire resounded throughout the eastern front of Sri Lanka!

Three hours later!!

The People's Army, formerly the Chi Army, rushed into the enemy's ribs and launched three waves of fierce attacks, disrupting the entire northern rebel front in the Boli area!

Three hours later, the northern front of Boli was scorched for thirty miles, with beacon fires reaching a hundred miles!

Fei Pingsheng's battle flag was firmly planted on the front line of the northern front!

The Dragon's Fortune War of overseas Chinese has officially begun!
