Chapter 172 Sticking to the Beachhead

Yao Doudou opened fire to block Wang Zhen, then immediately called Su Tianyu: "I've made my move here, doing my best to stop Wang Zhen."

"Roger that, just keep him tied up," Su Tianyu said, glancing at his watch. "But the main objective is to ensure your own safety."

"I understand!"

"That's it!"

After ending the call, Su Tianyu pondered for a moment before shouting, "Brothers of the Chi Army, spread out around the buildings in the residential village. Their helicopter formation is coming soon, we should avoid a direct confrontation."

...

Near Seventh Island, inside a hidden command post, after General Fu issued the rescue order, he didn't participate in the specific command of the operation. Instead, he observed the sea area map around Seventh Island.

The ownership of Seventh Island and the surrounding islands was somewhat complicated. They previously belonged to the joint EU government, but later, due to development issues, they were auctioned off to Huihong Pharmaceutical Group, just like the legendary tycoons before the Era buying private islands for tens of millions of dollars.

In other words, the ownership and usage rights of this archipelago now belong to a private company, Huihong Pharmaceutical, but from the perspective of regional territorial security, these islands are still inextricably linked to the joint government.

Once an armed conflict occurs on the island, the joint government has the right to intervene, because island sales have time limits, or are commercially sold in the form of leases, but it is definitely impossible to permanently sell them to any private company.

As a result, General Fu's actions were constrained, and he had to consider various factors from the joint government's side to prevent things from spiraling completely out of control.

After thinking for a long time, General Fu immediately shouted, "Lao Wang, call Lao Wang over to study this."

The guard next to him was stunned, then weakly replied, "G...General, didn't you send Chief of Staff Wang away? He's already gone to cool off."

General Fu came to his senses and immediately waved his hand, saying, "Then let him continue to cool off."

"General, it's not difficult for our three hundred men to leave, but it is indeed a bit difficult to cover so many people's retreat. Chang Song has already reported that reinforcements from Sixth Island and Eighth Island are approaching the combat area..." A staff officer whispered, "Relying solely on our own strength..."

"I understand!" General Fu gritted his teeth. "Forget it, I'll risk my old face and get these people out. Contact the public sea liaison unit and request to speak with the Western Patrol Lurong."

...

Southern beachhead of Seventh Island.

Standing behind cover, Chang Song held his headset and kept ordering, "All the fuel drums, ammunition boxes, and the demolition explosives we brought on the wharf, stockpile them near the water, spread them out, connect them with tactical ropes, the enemy reinforcements are arriving soon."

"Yes, First Squad, roger that!"

"Third Squad is already laying out the defense zone!"

"..."

A large number of special operations intelligence personnel responsible for guarding the beachhead were now smashing all the searchlights along the waterfront, pushing various oil drums, ammunition boxes, and their own demolition equipment stored on the wharf, connecting these things with tactical chains, and beginning to lay them out on the shallow water surface.

At the same time, Chang Song ordered thirty team members to board the roof of Building One and other high-rise buildings to prepare to defend against the enemy's air power.

After the simple defensive positions were set up, a large number of abducted people in Building One had been brought out, and under the leadership of the special operations intelligence personnel, they began to flee towards the waters on both sides of the south. Because there were a large number of captured ships there that could be used for everyone to escape, and from a geographical point of view, the possibility of being intercepted here was the smallest.

On the road.

Fei Guangtou grabbed A'Hua's wrist, running and cursing, "The people Shen Laoban (Boss Shen) found are really stubborn. You said the mission is complete, wouldn't it be better to retreat directly? They have to cover such a large group of people to retreat... Isn't this making trouble for ourselves?"

Hearing this, A'Hua immediately rebuked, "This is being responsible! Think about it from another perspective, if you didn't have Shen Laoban's connections, what would you feel if you were abandoned on the island in the end?"

"You know nothing!" Fei Guangtou cursed. "Have you ever heard the saying, 'Cut your coat according to your cloth'?!" Do you know how many laborers died every year in the Sinaloa and Casalero regions back then? Are you a god? Can you save them all? The situation is like this, it's important to save your own life first!"

A'Hua didn't argue, just rolled her eyes.

Fei Guangtou paused and added with a sigh, "But it's normal, he is indeed different from us, Daqu (the Great Zone) has the responsibilities of Daqu. Forget it, never mind, let's run first!"

After speaking, the couple followed the main force and ran towards their destination.

At this moment, a large number of speedboats and diesel-powered dinghies appeared on the water surface on the south side of the island, and the light from the searchlights illuminated almost the entire southern island.

At the command post.

Looking at the dense speedboats on the sea, and the dazzling lights, Chang Song said with a numb scalp, "There must be at least three or four hundred people."

"Yes, air units are also here, sir, look above!" A lieutenant next to him pointed to the sky.

Chang Song gritted his teeth and immediately held the headset and shouted, "All units prepare to engage the enemy! The mission objective is just one sentence, we can't lose anyone on the beachhead!"

Thirty seconds later, the speedboat group rushing from Sixth Island and Eighth Island quickly approached the beachhead.

Chang Song immediately waved his hand and shouted, "Prepare!"

On the water, a commander from Sixth Island shouted into the walkie-talkie in English, "Ram! Break through the blockade, and land on the beach!"

As the order was issued, all the surrounding speedboats accelerated at the same time, like countless arrows pointing to the beachhead.

The speedboat group got closer and closer, and in the blink of an eye, it was less than thirty meters away from the beachhead.

Chang Song raised his arms and shouted, "Ignite! Intercept!"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh...!"

Seven or eight RPGs were instantly fired from the direction of Building One, targeting not the speedboat group, but the adjacent water surface.

The shells shot straight into the water, exploding on various floating oil drums.

"Boom boom boom!"

The entire beachhead on the south side of the island was lit up by the explosion, and the flames swept several meters high. Seven or eight of the opponent's attacking speedboat group exploded instantly, and the Eastern European soldiers on board were burned by the fire and jumped into the sea.

After these people entered the water, the flames on their bodies did not completely extinguish, because the gasoline had exploded and floated on the water, and the fire swept across the sea, the scene was extremely spectacular and tragic.

Even in the face of such interception, the support teams from the two islands dared not stop their assault, because the south side was the closest area to get to the island. They continued to ram the beachhead, suffering heavy losses, but at this painful cost, some members managed to land successfully through the raging fire.

The final battle officially began.

At the command point, Chang Song looked at the fallen soldiers of his own side, personally carrying a gun, and strode forward: "Keep going, plug the holes for me!"

Not far away, Hou Guoyu, who was waiting for news, was extremely shocked by the tragic and spectacular scene on the south side of the island. He took the communication equipment and contacted Su Tianyu again.
